How was he to prove to a patient with persecutory delusion that he would absolutely not harm her?
The method was simple. All he needed to do was prove … that he had the ability to harm her, and that he could harm her in any way he wished.
For example, if a chick firmly believed that he was an infatuated pervert, believing that he was a beast that would go into heat the moment he found an opportunity, no matter how he swore that he was a man of integrity, a gentleman who would not do anything bad even if they shared a bed, the chick, who was more emotional than rational, would absolutely not believe him. She might even ask, "Who's the bad guy?"
What was to be done?
It was very simple. Take the risk and kidnap the chick and lock her up in a tiny room that was isolated from the world. A man and a woman would be alone in the room. You would say to her with a lascivious smile, "Go ahead and scream. No one will save you even if you scream yourself hoarse!" … Then, you would pull the chick along to watch "Pleasant Goat and Gray Wolf" all night long.
The next morning, the chick might slap you in the face and curse while crying, "Am I not as attractive as Pleasant Goat?" Perhaps, you would be blacklisted by the chick, but regardless, the chick would definitely have a completely different view of you. She would completely believe a fact — You are not a f * * king beast, but worse than one!
Shi Xiaobai had encountered a similar predicament. Hence, he had used the same method.
The red-haired girl and girl firmly believed that he was a heinous baddie from the very beginning. They believed that he was a hateful human who would capture pixies and sell them off.
Verbal explanations and assurances were insufficient to resolve such deep-rooted prejudices. Therefore, Shi Xiaobai did not waste his breath. All he did was remain motionless and allow Cherryblossoms to attack him.
From the beginning, he used Crab Steps to easily dodge her attacks, but later on, he used his powerful body's defense to withstand the Wind Illumination Cross Slash. He weaved a layered 'spider web' that made Cherryblossoms realize the absolute difference in strength between them.
— This King is stronger than you. This King can do whatever he wants. This King can harm you however he wants!
Shi Xiaobai had sent such a superficial message, but in fact, he had never harmed them from the beginning to the end. Instead, when the girl bravely pounced at him, he was worried that he would injure her young teeth. He took the initiative to remove the defenses of This Turtle Is Hardest.
He could have hurt you as he pleased, but he had never done anything malicious from the beginning to the end. There was nothing more convincing than this contrast and the truth.
"So … I've always been scaring myself?"
Cherryblossoms, who was in a daze for a moment, finally realized that she had been scaring herself. She had assumed that the youth wanted to abduct them and had been blinded by her preconceived notions. The youth had clearly stated from the beginning that he had no ill intentions. Furthermore, he had carried out his promise of 'not harming anyone', but she had failed to notice it.
Ah, she had made up a demon, she had frightened herself!
Upon coming to this realization, Cherryblossoms' face blushed red. She was embarrassed but she did not dare fly into a rage. Even if the youth had clearly expressed that he had no ill intentions, she still had to be careful with her words and actions. Otherwise, she might accidentally infuriate him. After all, the youth could truly do as he pleased.
"But …"
The moment Cherryblossoms realized that the 'tragic' act of kneeling down and begging was a 'comical' act of tricking herself, she immediately wished to dig a hole and bury herself in it. She hung her head down and muttered softly, "But Granny said that humans are all baddies …"
Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment. He did not attempt to correct the girl's prejudices. Instead, he returned with a question, "Then, This King will ask you. Are all pixies kind?"
"Of course …"
Cherryblossoms was just about to give an affirmative answer when she seemed to recall something. Her expression changed slightly as her raised head drooped down again. She said with an indignant tone, "Of course, there are pixies who have desecrated 'virtue.' They have abandoned their good nature and the protection of the Holy Tree. They have chosen to wallow in depravity. They … they have already become fallen pixies! Right! Those bad pixies are fallen pixies. They have nothing to do with us pixies. Yes, that's right. Pixies are all kind! Those that aren't kind are fallen pixies! "
As the girl spoke, her eyes gradually lit up. Once again, she raised her head with a lustrous glint.
Upon mentioning 'fallen pixies,' Shi Xiaobai suddenly recalled the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. In order to save him, Kali, who had disguised herself as Ka Xiaozi, had not hesitated to use the power of 'Pixie Raging' even though she had become a fallen pixie as a result.
From the girl's words, Shi Xiaobai could once again sense the disdain and resistance the pixies had towards' fallen pixies. 'He increasingly understood what Kali had sacrificed for him back then.
Upon thinking of this, Shi Xiaobai subconsciously looked at the girl who looked 90% like Kali.
The girl was hiding behind Cherryblossoms. She had raised half her head and was carefully watching Shi Xiaobai. When she saw Shi Xiaobai suddenly look at her, she hurriedly shrunk her head back.
Even though she realized that the youth did not have any ill intentions, she still felt afraid. This was because in the stories Granny had told her, humans were just too terrifying.
Half a second later, the girl raised her head again. She mustered her courage and looked into the youth's eyes. She pointed at the youth's blood-stained right arm and asked apologetically, "Does it still … hurt?"
Shi Xiaobai jolted out of his reverie and shook his head with a smile. "There is no such thing as' pain 'in This King's dictionary."
His endurance cultivation technique, 'Unleaking Turtle Aura', could suppress the feeling of pain and transform it into a sour feeling. Therefore, it might not be believed that Shi Xiaobai did not feel any pain after being bitten by the girl. Instead, he felt a little sour.
The girl did not know any of this. In her memories, bleeding was a very painful matter. When she fell from a tree when she was young, she had scraped her knee. She had been in pain for a very, very long time.
"Liar."
The girl grumbled inwardly as she shrunk her head back. For some reason, she suddenly felt that humans were not that terrifying.
"Fallen pixies are also pixies."
Shi Xiaobai quickly pulled the topic back. He looked at Cherryblossoms and said sternly, "Even though you pixies have spurned and banished the fallen pixies, they still have the blood of the pixies flowing in them. As you know, and as your granny said, there are a number of humans that have done all sorts of evil deeds. This King will not deny their sins, and just like you, This King views them as' beasts' and 'beasts'. However, This King cannot change the fact that their bloodline is that of humans. This King also wishes to tell you that the humans you think of are not humans at all, but unfortunately, that is just sophistry. It's just like how you say that fallen pixies are not pixies, but you know very well that you are just sophistry. "
"I …"
Cherryblossoms gaped but was momentarily at a loss for a retort.
