Chapter 184

~8 min read 1,531 words

The height of absurdity.

"I'm not lying, I really am just here for this fruit."

Cheng Shi put on a wronged expression, seemingly feeling that the two people in front of him were accusing him falsely.

Looking at Zhen Yi's punchable face, the veins on Hu Wei's forehead bulged, and the coldness on Bai Fei's face deepened.

"You really won't say?

Zhen Yi, don't you think I really wouldn't dare to touch you?"

As he spoke, the muscles all over Hu Wei's body rippled, and a scorching fighting spirit radiated from head to toe.

Bai Fei even directly gripped that invisible Silent Arrow, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.

But just at this moment, Cheng Shi laughingly raised the fruit shimmering with the luster of 【Void】, held it in mid-air to rotate and display it for a moment, and then...

He took a direct bite!

Yes, he took a bite out of the result that the Void Quality and Energy system had waited for over five hundred years, a bite out of the pearl on the Crown of Truth that only exists in history yet does not exist in history!

"!!!"

"!!!"

Hu Wei and Bai Fei were shocked by this bite of his!

They widened their eyes, just staring blankly as Cheng Shi took bite after bite, swallowing the only fruit of Conjugate Whispers, skin and juice included, into his stomach.

This scene was too shocking, too unbelievable, leaving them speechless for a moment!

This is something that even some 【Chosen】 have sought but could not obtain!

And it was just eaten by Zhen Yi in three or four bites?

What is she doing!?

What does she want to do!?

Why waste this fruit like this, and why spend so much effort to bring it back from the future!?

The two of them were stunned, completely stunned.

Or rather, anyone who saw this scene would be stunned.

But in an instant, shock flashed across Hu Wei's face again, because the clever him felt he seemed to have guessed the reason.

An absurd, outrageous, incredible, unimaginable reason!

That is:

All of this, everything, was just a century-long scam woven by Zhen Yi to taste this fruit that everyone pursues!

Things that everyone seeks but cannot obtain are meaningless to her, not even worth the temptation on the tip of her tongue.

This is Zhen Yi!

This is the real Zhen Yi!

Perhaps her existence is meant to prove: everything that 【exists】 in this world is not as good as having fun.

Hu Wei clenched his fists, suppressing the endless anger in his heart, and looked at the juice remaining on Zhen Yi's lips, his eyelids twitching fiercely.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the final question from his throat:

"So, the thing you wanted to hide was the fact that you tricked us into coming down just to have a taste?

So, you just wanted us to come down with you, so that you could witness you eating it in some trial?

So!

There was never any 'prophecy', never any 'future', this heaven-deceiving drama was just to verify whether a fruit tastes good!?"

Hu Wei was a bit broken.

Not just him, Bai Fei was also broken after hearing his analysis.

At this moment, there were three clowns on the scene.

One was a profession, and the other two... were real.

"Oh, you've become smart too?

That's right, that is the truth.

I just wanted to know what this fruit tastes like, so I begged the Blind One to make a prophecy for me.

The Blind One told me that it's too hard to get this fruit in the high-rank bracket, so she told me to split to a lower one first.

And then I came down.

But it would be so boring if I came down by myself; I'd never be able to meet my old friends again after the rank dropped, it would be very boring.

So I decided to let my 'friends' accompany me!

Ha!

Isn't it interesting?

I tricked you all into coming down!

But you are too smart, and the Blind One's prophecy was too obvious, so I had no choice but to change it a bit.

Now, the thing is obtained, and the friends have been met.

Then...

Thank you all for your company?

Shall we meet again at the top?"

"..."

"..."

So... Zhen Yi really just tricked all the 【Chosen】 into coming down to accompany her just to eat a fruit!!

Reasonable!

It's fucking reasonable!

Hu Wei couldn't catch his breath, and Bai Fei's fists hardened.

"Even so!

How dare the Blind One play along with you like this? Isn't she afraid of angering us?"

"Hee!

That's rich, you call her 'Blind One, Blind One' every day, did you never think about angering her?

She is just annoyed by you, that's why she doesn't want to remind you.

How silly."

"..."

"..."

Hu Wei was clearly stunned upon hearing this.

When the nickname "Blind One" started to spread is no longer verifiable.

But he remembers that when he first matched with this 【Fate】 Chosen, her eyes were already blind.

However, physical invisibility cannot hinder her sight.

And, she never said she didn't like the nickname "Blind One," did she?

Could it be true?

She doesn't want others to call her Blind One?

Hu Wei having this doubt wasn't because of Zhen Yi, but because of Zhen Xin.

Zhen Yi and the Blind One's relationship isn't good; she doesn't have a good relationship with anyone, but Zhen Xin is different.

She and the Blind One are like sisters.

With this layer of relationship, it's reasonable for Zhen Yi to know the Blind One's thoughts.

However...

Speaking of Zhen Xin, how could she agree to Zhen Yi doing this?

Aren't they afraid of other 【Chosen】 joining forces to retaliate?

"You told such a heaven-deceiving lie, and Zhen Xin just let you run wild like this?"

Cheng Shi heard this, raised his eyebrows and smiled:

"When has my sister ever stopped me?"

"..."

"..."

Hu Wei's face turned even darker.

He couldn't continue; if he kept asking, he would really become a clown.

He snorted coldly, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

"What a heaven-deceiving lie!

I, Hu Wei, am not as skilled as others, so I'll admit it.

But since this petal is in my hand, you won't be getting it back."

Hu Wei turned his hand and held the petal, pondered for a moment, and then decisively threw the petal that scholars of the world seek but cannot obtain toward Bai Fei.

"Thank you, Little Bai, for making this trip; this is my apology."

Bai Fei received the petal and nodded in astonishment.

Everyone knows the Grand Marshal is generous; although he acts forcefully, he never treats his own people poorly.

Seeing that he could part with this petal, Bai Fei also felt admiration.

But if she accepted this petal at this moment, it would undoubtedly make her and Hu Wei's performance in this farce fall into a lower tier.

In this way, the two of them would not only become clowns, but also beggars who only pick up "trash," especially since this "trash" was thrown away by Zhen Yi.

So the moment she received the petal, Bai Fei expressionlessly annihilated this incomparably precious 【Existence】.

The third petal of Conjugate Whispers, from nothing to something, from future to past, from one hand to another, ultimately failed to continue to 【Exist】.

And this, how is it not a kind of fate.

Cheng Shi watched this scene, feeling emotional.

He didn't feel any heartache for this petal, not only because it was a freebie, but also because the appearance of this petal was originally meant to be a backup plan.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the backup plan intended for that future trial was used in this place.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, Cheng Shi still sneered out loud at this moment.

"Using other people's things to be generous, so-called generosity is nothing more than this."

Hu Wei glanced at Cheng Shi with a dark face and said coldly:

"We shall meet again, I hope to see your high moves again."

As he spoke, his gloomy eyes scanned Cheng Shi up and down for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and with a cold snort, he waved his hand and dispersed.

The moment he left, the void fluctuated again.

Hu Wei was gone.

He left the Void Laboratory in a fit of shame and anger.

To be honest, anyone who was tricked like this would have to leave.

But Bai Fei didn't, because she still owed Cheng Shi a trap.

Not because she keeps her word, but because this debt is probably not easy to welch on.

"Little White Strip is still the one who keeps her word, come, while these scholars haven't kicked us out yet, let's bury a little surprise for the little lunatics of the 'future'."

As he spoke, Cheng Shi turned and walked toward the highest laboratory in the Void Laboratory.
