Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 598 - 32: The Lone Man and Woman in the Small Woods_2

```

It seemed curious why these two people didn't move at all.

"Are we really safe?"

In the heavy twilight atmosphere, in the woods on the outskirts of Baichuan City, Ju Mang, although fond of plants, still felt very uncomfortable with this kind of silence.

"We should be."

"Where did the deer go?"

"I thought you knew."

"I don't know. It's so mysterious. I didn't expect to encounter such a powerful creature outside the mining area, in a world at the same latitude as the Pyramid. Why would it save us... no, why would it save you?" Ju Mang was actually somewhat envious of Tang Xian.

As a leader of oddball scientists, her subordinates were all weirdos like Shang Lu and Zhong Xiuxiu.

Life was all about various experimental data. She knew a lot, but there was also a lot she didn't know.

Tang Xian, who had defected from his divine seat, how had he spent the last twenty years? Would his life be as boring as hers?

And how had he step by step reached this day? Although she had no interest or even sexual desire in this man, she was very curious about the life of this man who had been calculating against the ordainers from the beginning and struggled against fate... just how different was it from hers.

Tang Xian said:

"Can you conjure up some fruit?"

"Yes."

"So actually, you can be self-sufficient?"

"No, the energy I gain from eating a piece of fruit is far less than the energy I use to summon it."

Tang Xian nodded, feeling that this made sense. He was very hungry at the moment. The ability from the gluttonous beast, 'Taste of the Marrow,' made him, like the beast, easily hungry.

Especially since he had just suffered serious injuries. But suspecting that Ju Mang was also extremely weak and just holding on, he didn't mention the matter of the fruit anymore and answered instead:

"I don't know why Bai Shuang would save me, there was actually some conflict between us last time. You can just think of it as good luck, because at one point I thought I would die today."

"Conflict? You mean to say you can understand what she says?" Ju Mang was shocked.

"Maybe for me and the ordainers, we both know the voice of all things."

Ju Mang looked at Tang Xian with a bit more interest:

"In the mining area, only a very few creatures can communicate with all species without barriers. The voices you hear, are they in human language or beast language?"

"Human language."

"So in your brain, there's some kind of conversion ability?"

"Perhaps?"

"I'm pretty good at dissecting brains, and can perfectly restore them after opening the skull. I want to open up your head and take a look."

Ju Mang said it very politely, at least she thought her tone was very sincere.

Tang Xian thought to himself that it was no wonder his sister was treated as an oddball; how could one not be odd after working with such a person?

"You're getting off topic. Moreover, even if I let you dissect me, you wouldn't be able to."

"Why?"

"To humans, I am indestructible."

Ju Mang pondered, knowing something about the abilities of an Eden demon child, but she had never seen it before.

Tang Xian didn't want Ju Mang to continue thinking about some crazy ideas, so he got up to look for some food.

He felt dizzy when he stood up.

"The white deer won't go too far, it's probably waiting for me to recover, then it will come to find us. Since it saved me, it should explain something this time."

As Tang Xian said this, he actually had no confidence in his heart. It seemed completely in line with the white deer's style to save someone and then just leave.

He walked to the bank of the stream, ready to catch fish.

This place was indeed on the outskirts of Baichuan City, but it was also very far from the city, so far that the outline of the city could not be seen, and he couldn't contact anyone in the city. If he wanted to go back, the first step was to fill his stomach.

"Where are you going?"

"To find something to eat."

"I'll go with you." Ju Mang also stood up, but she looked even more disheveled than Tang Xian, seemingly lacking the strength to even walk.

Tang Xian glanced at Ju Mang, who was also looking back at him. He knew Ju Mang didn't want to be alone.

For him, it was merely a lost battle.

But for Ju Mang, she had lost her entire life.

Without an identity, and without a future.

She didn't even know what her position was now. It would probably be better to have someone with her at such a time.

She didn't say it, but oddly enough, Tang Xian seemed to understand.

After a few seconds of silence, Tang Xian said:

"You promise not to fall for me."

```

"Huh, has anyone ever told you that you think quite highly of yourself?"

"No. Those who like me think highly of all aspects of me and are crazily infatuated with me."

"I feel like vomiting, that's disgusting."

"Just telling the truth."

Tang Xian then looked at Ju Mang with eyes seeking confirmation, and Ju Mang straightforwardly said:

"I like people like Shang Lu."

That seemed like an even bigger problem.

Tang Xian frowned and said:

"He's married."

"I can clone one, as long as I have the equipment."

"Stop it, let's go, I'll take you out to eat."

Tang Xian shook his head, there were many troubled girls in Baichuan City, adding one more to the number wasn't going to be a problem.

He supported Ju Mang and only then did he feel Ju Mang's weakness; it turned out he didn't need to worry about being overpowered because Ju Mang didn't have the strength for it.

"You shouldn't be this weak."

"Paying back what I owe you isn't easy, and to survive, I've used up no less than you have."

Tang Xian nodded, understanding what she meant.

A talent burning itself out, Song Que had been unconscious for nearly a month.

That Ju Mang managed to stay conscious, even pulling herself back from death's door with the remnants of her talent, certainly meant she was completely exhausted.

She didn't make any fuss about it.

As mentioned before, they were square with each other.

However, Tang Xian still added:

"My cooking skills are not bad, you probably haven't had such delicious food while you were in the Pyramid."

"Desires of the flesh are but lowly desires."

"The lower things are, the stronger the impact they have on us. In contrast, the so-called higher pleasures tend to feel quite insipid," Tang Xian remarked.

Just like how the upper echelons enjoy classical music and works of literary nature, these so-called sophisticated tastes, in Tang Xian's opinion, could only be appreciated once the more basic tastes were satisfied.

Right now he was very hungry, and so was Ju Mang.

At this moment, if you threw him a copy of "Cancer Tower," "Suet Ball," or "Kafka by the Sea," he would most likely use it as kindling to roast an unliterary fish.

Catching fish was easy; after some of his strength returned and the remnants of the Exhaustive Ray in his body diluted, his ability to recover life improved.

His entire being was in a state of growing hunger, yet his vitality was increasing all the while.

He caught four fish, fatty grass carps with poor meat quality, but more than enough to fill a stomach.

The prop bag was tattered, but luckily some items were still usable.

He busied himself for a while and with Ju Mang's help, managed to set up a simple frame.

Soon, the campfire was lit, and the warmth of the flames together with the fragrance of the roasting fish made Ju Mang feel somewhat comfortable inside.

"I have nowhere to go from now on. You must quickly take your friends and leave."

What a way to kill the mood for chat, Tang Xian thought as he flipped the roasting fish and said:

"You should talk about something light-hearted now."

"The holy fortresses will soon undergo a great purge, and the news you released will be completely overturned. We are the mistake, cleaned up by the correction programs, and now any remaining programs will be cleaned up along with it."

Tang Xian sighed and said:

"It's just one loss. If the Orderers could really be wiped out by me in one go, I think people wouldn't have been deceived for hundreds of years, right?"

"You don't look disappointed at all?"

"Of course I'm disappointed, but I had considered this possibility before this plan, so everything was arranged accordingly. To me, as long as we haven't lost anyone, there is still hope. It's just about starting over."

"Aren't you afraid of it? It could easily kill us."

"It can't get into the mining area, and it might not even be able to leave the Pyramid for a while. It's starting to expose itself, and in the future, it will only reveal more and more vulnerabilities.

And don't underestimate humanity itself, when they finally come to their senses, they can unleash unimaginable power."

Ju Mang said:

"What about you? What do you plan to do next?"

"Right now, you and I are both outcasts, we need to lie low for a while. Going to the Pyramid isn't possible anymore, but we could take a look around the mining area. I also should... look for the person who really knows everything and ask some questions."

As Tang Xian thought about the Endless Turtle, he smiled and said:

"This world is more interesting and complicated than I imagined. That's not a bad thing, though. At least our enemy isn't unrivaled. And if there's one thing humans are best at, it's playing dirty."
