Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 603 - 34: Because You Can’t Beat Me_2
Tang Xian prepared to leave with Ju Mang. As he was about to depart, he didn't hold much hope, but casually asked:
"I hope the reason Senior doesn't wish to talk much with me is because you think I'm not ready yet. At the very least, I believe Senior knows quite a bit, and I hope in the future, I can receive some guidance from you."
Tang Xian spoke with sincere earnestness, and Ju Mang thought it was quite rare to see a Son of Order be so respectful to a creature from the Myriad Beasts Realm.
Especially a Son of Order with Eden bloodline.
Unexpectedly, this time Bai Shuang didn't respond with an 'oh' or an 'mm.'
She looked at Tang Xian, her clear eyes still showing no particular emotion:
"When a certain trait makes a creature too powerful, nature will find a way to contain it, or all things will seek to restrain it. Once this trait is contained, that creature will become extremely weak, just like you. You think you are strong, but in reality, you have just been lucky. True strength has no weak spots, and you are not yet fit to stand equal with my master or the other divine beasts."
Tang Xian was surprised by Bai Shuang's sudden verbosity. After deliberating on her words, he earnestly replied:
"I will work on improving myself as much as I can."
The deer's words contained some information Tang Xian was keen to understand, but he knew the deer would not elaborate, so he did not inquire further, simply acknowledging her. He felt he was a considerate person—far from it, he simply had no other choice with this deer.
"Don't let me save you a second time. Although I seldom visit the Pyramid, I know a little about what happens there. People used to consider the Mines as a world instance for transporting resources. This idea is quite amusing; you should do the same, considering the Myriad Beasts Realm as an instance to enhance your abilities in every aspect. If you're not strong enough, just stay inside until you are. As for the human world, it has its own natural order."
Tang Xian increasingly felt that Bai Shuang was very much like a human.
Her words indicated that she had been to the Pyramid more than once, so naturally, it couldn't have been in the form of a white deer, meaning she must have a human form.
He was truly too curious about what Bai Shuang's human form would be like?
Could it be someone he had met before?
"The answers you seek, whether true or false, can be found in the Mines, at least half of them. Once you've discovered parts of the puzzle for the entire incident, come find me again. Also, when you see the Xuan Bird, give this to it."
"Xuan Bird?" Tang Xian recalled it was the Judgment Chief of the Myriad Beasts Court, a famously divine creature, the Phoenix.
Why would Bai Shuang be acquainted with a creature from the Mines? And what did she know about the Judgment Chief Xuan Bird?
A peculiar feeling emerged. Tang Xian received the colorful feather that had suddenly appeared before him.
He didn't know the use of the feather, why it should be given to the Xuan Bird, or if Bai Shuang knew that he was, in a manner of speaking, a hunter of the Myriad Beasts Court?
"Senior Bai, could it be that you actually once served the Myriad Beasts Court?"
Tang Xian immediately regretted asking that question. Luckily, Bai Shuang didn't mind it.
She was expressionless from beginning to end, as if the affairs of the world were but passing clouds to her.
Bai Shuang didn't answer Tang Xian's question, and said calmly:
"You should leave now, remember my words."
"But—"
Tang Xian nodded, preparing to bid farewell, but before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly found the scenery around him shift.
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
He and Ju Mang were instantly transported to the outskirts of Baichuan City. All he could see before him was the vast Baichuan City—where were the white deer and the lush vegetation?
Tang Xian was uncertain what expression to wear; this white deer really was too whimsical and decisive. She dispensed with niceties in showing guests out, not even sparing a shred of face.
The cool moonlight fell upon their faces, and as they reflected on all that had transpired that day, Tang Xian suddenly felt that the white deer was like a Guardian of the human world.
It protected Baichuan City, the cradle capable of nurturing civilization, and would also appear to save him when he was in danger.
Given the deer's temperament, it seemed that these actions could be taken or left undone.
Tang Xian easily thought of the existence behind the white deer.
He shook his head, deciding not to dwell on things he couldn't understand. Taking a deep breath, Tang Xian said:
"Welcome to Baichuan City. From today on, you are a citizen here. This is my territory. Once you're here, you have to listen to me."
"So is this city actually a dictatorship?"
"Of course not, this city is very democratic, free, and fair. And I'm someone who is reasonable."
"Then why should I listen to you?"
"Because you can't beat me."
"..."
Whomever has the bigger fist gets listened to; this, of course, is democracy, obviously freedom, and certainly fair.
Ju Mang actually did not object, feeling that it was quite reasonable.
The two walked slowly.
Looking at Baichuan City, Ju Mang was also shocked by such a well-preserved city. It was a place more vast than the Pyramid, and with such a base, coupled with the abundant vegetation around, she liked it very much and said:
"Am I second only to one person?"
"No, apart from me, there are two other people ranked higher than you, and you have to listen to them."
"Can they beat me?"
"They cannot."
"Then why should I listen to them?"
"Because you can't beat me."
"..."
Ju Mang really wanted to point out that Tang Xian's rules were somewhat double-standard.
But since she couldn't beat him, she thought it over and let it go.
"Song Que and Li Xiaoyu, the most promising young man and woman of the Pyramid, they are the first and second in charge of Baichuan City, with me behind the scenes. Apart from these two, you can take or leave what anyone else says."
Ju Mang nodded her head and said calmly:
"I have done what you have done, turning those most outstanding people into one's subordinates."
Tang Xian felt that Li Xiaoyu and Song Que were not really his subordinates and wanted to correct this, but Ju Mang added:
"However, I didn't play as big as you. You put yourself into it. I heard you seduced that girl from the Li family with a honey trap."
Tang Xian stopped in his tracks.
Looking at Tang Xian's confused expression, Ju Mang said:
"Some big things that happen inside the Pyramid, we all know about them. Most of the time, Constantine is like a library. There is nothing he doesn't know.
"The princess of the Li family goes missing, then shows up at the bottom level of Fortress 39, and Li Wanye comes with a large number of guards and Judgment Knights to capture her. Such a big commotion naturally wouldn't go unnoticed by us.
"Your performance at that time, taking her away by force with your Myriad Beasts guard, that kind of dramatic entrance from the sky, for a woman, isn't that just seduction?"
Tang Xian's face became gradually "friendly". Fortunately, Ju Mang also stopped at the right moment.
"You will gradually understand that in this world, when people like each other, there is no need for any scheming."
"A good scheme wins hearts," Ju Mang said.
Tang Xian did not argue. He thought about throwing this troubled girl into Baichuan City, and in a little while, she would understand.
The two walked for a while and arrived at the outskirts of the commercial street.
It was not yet late night, and there were still quite a few people walking around the city.
Above them stretched the eternal starry sky, and although the stars were not as bright in the autumn and winter, many people still came out to enjoy the moonlight.
Unlike the simulated moonlight of the Pyramid, the nights here were incredibly real, with a refreshing autumn breeze and the distant sounds of insects and birds.
Ju Mang watched all this from a distance and suddenly felt a bit nervous:
"Will they dislike me?"
"As long as you don't, like Siren and Xi He, view yourself as a god, but rather as an ordinary person, they will like you," Tang Xian said.
"I want to follow you to the mining area. Your next plan is to go to the mining area, right?" Ju Mang said.
Tang Xian was very close to the house where Li Xiaoyu usually worked. Lights were still on in the house, and he said:
"If Li Xiaoyu agrees to let you follow me, I have no objections."
Ju Mang did not expect Tang Xian to give such an answer, especially since her combat abilities should not be a burden to him.
Just then, Li Xiaoyu came out. She had just stepped out to get some air.
Then she turned her head and, as if sensing their presence, saw Tang Xian and Ju Mang at a distance.
