"Everything is fake? Only power is real?"
Bai Jing looked at Xu Le who was standing above her. To be honest, it didn't feel good to be looked down upon from this angle.
But she suddenly felt that Xu Le should stand in that position.
At least it was reasonable for him to say such things given his position.
"Tsk, why do I have such a weird idea..." Bai Jing secretly complained, not knowing whether she was complaining about herself or Xu Le.
"What did you mean by that?"
Bai Jing was still a little curious about what happened just now.
Xule said that the power is real, is it really true
Bai Jing quietly clenched his fists, the feeling of controlling lightning no longer existed.
The sense of crisis just now had completely disappeared, as if she had never experienced a battle.
No injuries, no fatigue.
But the feeling of losing the power after having just gained it is really bad.
"You have already felt it. I have sensed your presence. Moreover, you have gone very far, much farther than most people."
"What's the meaning?"
Bai Jing disliked Xu Le more and more, at least that's what she thought.
Because Xu Le always speaks in a mysterious way, and is very similar to the warlocks of the Red Moon Temple.
They are so evil, always like to play with people's hearts, and also like to do some special taboo experiments.
Perhaps what happened to me was some kind of experiment that Xu Le was conducting.
But... the feeling of losing ability is still not good.
Xu Le stared at Bai Jing. He saw talent in Bai Jing.
If he had met a talent like Bai Jing in the past, he would most likely have praised her a few words and then walked away.
But now it’s different, he is standing in the perspective of a teacher.
When you look at the problem, many things become different.
Just like Bai Jing now.
If she is someone who can carry his power, she is definitely an excellent talent.
At least you can be your own substitute or agent.
Xu Le didn't need to consider this kind of problem before, but now it is really necessary.
"I just said that you have already felt that power. Everything is real, but you just don't want to believe it."
"Alright, alright, I hate your weird talk."
Bai Jing interrupted Xu Le, and she did it on purpose.
It feels like someone has guessed my thoughts, and then I get angry and embarrassed.
"Are the rest of the team safe now?"
"They are fine, you can rest assured."
"Where's Lao Wang? Why don't I see him?"
"Lao Wang is also doing well. He just left the team for a while and is safe now."
Bai Jing then asked a few more questions about the team, but Xu Le could sense that she was distracted.
She was just changing the subject.
Don’t you want Xu Le to bring the problem to yourself
"Your idea is a bit strange, Bai Jing."
"What's so strange about me? I've always been like this. It's normal."
"Although I don't know what you have experienced, it is actually a wrong choice for you to resist the power of a warlock like this."
"Is there any good stuff from the warlock?"
"You equate humans with things, which is wrong in itself."
Xu Le is still trying to correct a woman's mistakes, but it is obvious that a woman will not admit her mistakes, except for marrying the wrong person.
"If you want to continue lecturing me, please shut up. I have much more experience than you.
And you haven't experienced my past, so what right do you have to say such things? "
"Uh, huh, that makes sense."
Xu Le finally gave up, and he wasn't angry.
Nor will we act hastily because of this.
He just had simple expectations for Bai Jing.
And he knew very well that Bai Jing was very eager for power, which could be seen from her previous inquiry into the feasibility of the fruit.
But after gaining power, he began to deny himself...
This may have something to do with Bai Jing's past.
Maybe she had experienced something unforgettable, such as being persecuted by an evil warlock.
After seeing himself, he put himself in the role of the evil sorcerer.
"Am I evil?"
Returning to the team camp, Xu Le looked at Chang Fengle.
Even if Chang Fengle is not his pure bootlicker now, he is almost the same.
"How is that possible? Big Brother has done so much for the team and provided so much help in improving our strength.
Who dares to say that Big Brother is evil? Big Brother is obviously a first-class good person in the entire Tianrui Lifeng. "
"Well, I think so too, but it's a pity that some people don't think so."
Compared to the joy after the team reunited.
Bai Jing, who was sitting at the front of the team, looked a little lonely.
She was always cheerful, but at this time she didn't talk to other members of the team, and she didn't even explain the night duty.
For a guide, this is a dereliction of duty.
However, everyone else could see that Bai Jing was worried, so they didn't go over to disturb her.
"Come on, draw lots. The one with the shortest time will keep watch tonight."
"Okay, I'll go first."
The person who spoke was Lao Wang. He took a cigarette first. It didn't look very short. Lao Wang smiled immediately:
"Haha, I can sleep well tonight."
Then there were other people, all the way to Xu Le...
The person drawing the lots' expression suddenly changed, and he hesitated and said:
"Or let's just forget about it here."
As soon as he said this, others echoed:
"Okay, okay, come here, I'll draw again..."
Seeing them like this, Xu Le couldn't help laughing.
The strength and knowledge that he had displayed unconsciously had already created a gap between him and these people.
This gap will grow wider without you noticing.
People who are not familiar with you will become more and more in awe of you.
This is the principle of awe for the strong.
But Xu Le didn't want this to happen, he took the initiative to shout to the man:
"No need to do that. I'm here on this mission as an ordinary mercenary. There's no need to give me any special privileges."
Xu Le's words naturally won the favor of many people.
Actually, this doesn't make sense.
Because ordinary people have no right to say these things, and he just did what he should do and won the favor of ordinary people.
This is the privileged class.
Because of his strength, Xu Le has become a member of the privileged class.
I pulled it out casually, and sure enough, it was the shortest one.
The other people's faces were a little gloomy, and they were hesitant to speak, but Xu Le laughed:
"Alright, alright, stop looking so tense and go get some rest. Get a good night's sleep tonight. We still have to continue our mission tomorrow."
"Then, let's go to bed first."
"OK."
These ordinary mercenaries were a little at a loss as to what to call Xu Le.
Calling him "sir" seems a bit too much.
But if you call him "that kid" or something like that, it would seem too impolite and would be very uncomfortable.
night.
Xu Le was on guard as usual. To be honest, he hadn't performed this task for a long time.
Since you are on night watch, you have to keep an eye on your companions.
There is absolutely no way I'm going to sneak out and wander around in the middle of the night again.
Although he was quite curious about the situation in this alley, especially the strange thing called bamboo strips.
But there is really no opportunity to study it now.
Looking at the moon, Xu Le caressed Ding Ke in his arms.
"I miss the dog a little bit!"
"You also have a dog?" Bai Jing suddenly came over in the dead of night.
Xu Le didn't know whether she had suddenly figured it out or had some questions to ask him.
This woman, that's probably all she has to offer.
"Gouzi is not just any dog, she is my wife."
Bai Jing:
She carefully savored Xu Le's words. If there was no error in word choice or syntax, then this sentence was most likely a grammatical error.
"You're married? Is your wife a dog?"
"Um, that's not the case. My wife is a human, but she ate a canine-type animal-type fruit, so she has the form of a dog. I usually call her Gouzi."
"I see. That sounds quite romantic."
"Yeah, it's quite romantic."
Xu Le thought of the Dog Knight under the moonlight. That was really a good time.
Having said this, the two fell silent again.
Xu Le began to inhale and exhale moonlight, absorbing the moon spirit.
This is a necessary ability for every warlock. Although he rarely absorbs moon spirits, he can do it.
Bai Jing was very conflicted.
Seeing Xu Le practicing, she felt embarrassed to disturb him.
But the doubts about the ability of the fruit have always lingered in my mind and can't be shaken off.
Xu Le’s previous guess was correct. Bai Jing needed strength.
And it is very necessary.
She needs enough strength to support a family. She needs to take care of her mother, younger siblings, and a useless brother.
Bai Jing doesn't like to play the victim, as that will only make people look down on her.
So even though she was pretty, she didn't go for the nightclub route.
Instead, she embarked on a path that many people were not optimistic about. At least no one was optimistic about her, a young girl.
She works hard, harder than anyone else.
In addition to daily training, she also needs to memorize mercenary knowledge, memorize routes, analyze possible mission errors, and so on.
As a mission guide she was very professional.
But it’s not enough. Many times, hard work is totally not enough.
Especially when your efforts have allowed you to touch the ceiling.
At this stage, it is no longer a matter of hard work, but a matter of talent.
She has no talent, or her talent is no longer enough to support the level of a level 3 warrior.
The progress brought by hard work is too slow...
Her road seemed to have come to an end.
Faced with dangers that could arise at any time, if the mission goes wrong, she would be doomed if the car fails once.
If she died, her home would be gone.
Those younger brothers and sisters simply don't have the ability to support a family, not to mention their bedridden mother and that useless brother.
For the sake of her family, she can't fall down here, so she must become stronger.
At least strong enough to run back on your own when in danger.
It doesn't matter if the mission fails, and it's none of her business if everyone dies.
She just wanted to live.
The power of thunder and lightning that Xu Le had given her before gave her hope.
The fruit she ate afterwards gave her an unprecedented feeling.
Powerful, direct, and free-spirited.
It can even give you the power to release an explosion of mental energy.
At the last moment, she even managed to briefly control the power of darkness.
That feeling is so fascinating...
This is what she has been looking for.
Bai Jing was very eager, but she was also very resistant in her heart, so she was so conflicted.
I was troubled by this for half the night.
It was not until now that she made up her mind to find Xu Le.
Previous thoughts and prejudices are no longer important, at least compared to gaining power, they are not important at all.
The opportunity to gain power is right in front of her, she can't give up, and doesn't want to give up.
so…
Bai Jing glanced at Xu Le again. Xu Le was still practicing. To show respect, she didn't bother him at this time.
After a long time, Xu Le suddenly opened one eye.
"I've been looking at it for quite some time. Is it really that good?"
"Um, I don't have that idea, it's just..."
"Just ask any questions you have. You've been holding it in for so long."
Bai Jing was not embarrassed when Xu Le saw through her thoughts, since she had already made up her mind, she decided to ask.
All the previous reservations are no longer important.
"I want to regain those powers, the power of lightning, the power of anima, and the power of darkness.
For power I can give everything, money, body, and…"
"Okay, okay, girl, let me be honest. You look just like my former captain. Do you know what I mean?"
"Ah?" Bai Jing was stunned for a moment.
"It's just normal. My wife is much prettier than you. I can't bring myself to do that to someone like you."
Bai Jing's face turned red immediately.
"you… "
"Also, I haven't finished what I want to say. Your little money is nothing to me.
In the time it takes me to crack sunflower seeds, I can probably earn 100 times more than you do. I’m not exaggerating.”
"What else? Is there anything else you want to attack me with?"
"If you think I'm saying this to hit you, you're dead wrong.
The fruit was given to you before, and I have always emphasized that after eating the fruit, the power already exists in you.
What level you can reach depends entirely on your personal development and expansion.”
“Personal development and expansion?”
"Yes, the ability of the fruit has nothing to do with me anymore. In fact, you have already mastered that power.
Lightning, anima, and darkness.
Don't always deny yourself, you may not be progressing fast enough in cultivation.
But when it comes to mastering the power of the fruit, he has an extraordinary talent.
After all, everyone’s talents are different.”
Hearing Xu Le say this, Bai Jing stretched out her hand again.
"Is it because of my self-denial that I am unable to unleash the power I awakened earlier?"
"That's right, so... be confident."
Bai Jing concentrated slightly, then suddenly clenched her fists.
Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Then she suddenly opened her eyes.
The mercenaries on the ground were suddenly startled, and the other eight people all sat up almost at the same time.
"Damn, why am I having a nightmare?"
"Fuck, you had a nightmare too?"
"No way, you too?"
Bai Jing heard the conversation between the mercenaries and looked at Xu Le in surprise.
“This is fear.”
