Chapter 144: Zhu Que Fooled Again

“Huh?! How can that be! Don’t slander me!”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s talk about mental influence, Zhu Que, sitting on the ground with him hugging her from behind, immediately felt it was a blatant defamation.

But Wang Haoran remained serious.

“Don’t be hasty. Listen to me first!”

“Though I’ve never seen all of you, I know that you six Seven Kill Envoys are all unconditionally loyal to Xiao Longchen, obeying his every command!”

“And as a woman, you can’t help but admire him, adore him, no matter what he does, you find him handsome and majestic, right? Even if he picks his nose in front of you, you’d still think so!”

Wang Haoran, combining Xiao Longchen’s “Loyalty Halo,” started making things up—

No, it wasn’t making things up; it was a benevolent lie.

If Zhu Que believed it and fell for the trick, she would be safe; if she didn’t, and still had unwavering faith in Xiao Longchen, then with no other option to reduce Xiao Longchen’s protagonist halo, Wang Haoran would have to kill her.

So, Wang Haoran was doing this for Zhu Que’s good! Including the previous teachings and trainings!

Thinking this, Wang Haoran, justified and confident, started to knead her breast again.

And after hearing the “good guy” Wang Haoran’s words, Zhu Que couldn’t even bother to stop his hand from dipping into the hot water to knead.

“We…we are comrades, it’s natural to have a good relationship!”

Though she said this, she was shocked inside.

He seemed to be right!

In the past, no matter what decisions Xiao Longchen made, the other six of them would unanimously support him.

And indeed, she herself saw her boss as “majestic” in every aspect.

She recalled their last meeting, when she went to report to him. Seeing him in shorts and a white vest, flip-flops dangling from his toes as he slurped noodles and occasionally ate black garlic, a somewhat sloppy appearance.

Though he didn’t pick his nose, it was still a messy image.

Yet, she still saw his domineering side in his relaxed demeanor, thinking he was genuine, unlike others who cared about appearances.

She always thought it was because they were close comrades that she could see his true exceptional nature through his ordinary facade.

But Wang Haoran’s words made her doubt herself.

“We, we’re martial artists, it’s normal to be unrestrained…”

“You’re still lying! Alright, say, ‘My boss’s face isn’t as good-looking as yours’!”

Wang Haoran wasn’t sure to what extent the “Loyalty Halo” affected the Seven Kill Envoys, but with his strong mentality, he confidently lied.

Zhu Que fell silent.

“…”

“Can’t say it, right? It’s just an objective fact, but you can’t say it! Even thinking about it makes you feel guilty towards Xiao Longchen, right!”

“I, I don’t!”

Zhu Que felt Wang Haoran seemed jealous, his actions becoming more intense.

The extinguished fire inside her reignited, she couldn’t help but want to turn around and respond.

But having discussed Xiao Longchen so much, her mind was inevitably filled with his image.

So, she forced herself to endure.

But enduring made it even more overwhelming.

Seeing Zhu Que biting her lip, Wang Haoran whispered in her ear.

“I’m telling the truth. My master discovered this secret, which is why Xiao Longchen’s master hunted him down, and he defected from Seven Kill Hall.”

“His name being erased is why you haven’t heard of him.”

“But everything he told me is real!”

“Your obsession with Xiao Longchen isn’t love; your mind has been influenced!”

“Mmm~ ahn~ You…you’re lying!”

“…You have no evidence!”

With Wang Haoran’s finger stopping her from biting her lip, Zhu Que couldn’t help but make a sound.

Helpless, she could only refute verbally.

She always felt Wang Haoran’s words were impossible, but couldn’t find flaws.

In such a situation, belief depended on her trust in Wang Haoran and Xiao Longchen.

As a Seven Kill Envoy, she naturally trusted Xiao Longchen, not Wang Haoran.

But feeling the strange sensation in her earlobe, she added.

As if saying, if you have evidence, I’ll believe you.

“You want evidence? Fine, tonight, I’ll take you to see Xiao Longchen and prove it!”

“How to prove?” Zhu Que couldn’t help asking.

“You’ll know tonight. I’ll disguise you, you can’t reveal yourself or act, just stay quietly by my side, understand?”

Seeing Zhu Que hesitate, Wang Haoran continued.

“I won’t confront Xiao Longchen, just like you, I’ll quietly watch the show.”

“As long as you behave, I won’t use you as a hostage or show your video to him, rest assured!”

“…Scoundrel!”

Zhu Que realized if she disobeyed, Wang Haoran would show her video to the boss.

“I’ll behave, okay!”

Zhu Que quickly figured it out.

Now that her dantian was destroyed, she was an ordinary person. Even if she reunited with the boss, she’d be useless, possibly a hostage.

So, she decided to stay compliant and wait for an opportunity.

But she was curious about how Wang Haoran would prove it.

After all, it seemed too far-fetched.

How could Wang Haoran’s master conveniently defect from their Seven Kill Hall?

And discover a secret in their exclusive technique?

Sounds fake, let’s see how Wang Haoran performs tonight!

The boss is always domineering, your schemes won’t work!

Feeling pleasure, Zhu Que told herself—

Wang Haoran is a Grandmaster, even the boss might not beat him, so I must use strategy, not force.

For the boss, for Seven Kill Hall, I must make Wang Haoran drop his guard!

Though it seems he controls me, I’m willingly bait!

Though a captive, I haven’t revealed anything useful, he’s the one spilling information!

Next, I’ll keep going! Watch my beauty trap!

Thinking this, Zhu Que couldn’t help but turn around.

“There’s still time before evening, do you…want to…do it again like earlier?”
