Chapter 744 - Cute Boy Strategy Complete! (2/2)

After a long time, he asked, “Dead Face, for you, am I just a chess piece? From the beginning to the end, you are just using me, without any other… thoughts?”

Dead Face lightly said, “What do you want me to think of you?”

“I…” Shu Si wanted to say something, but he felt that his chest was stuffy. He could not say anything.

He thought that Dead Face would say no so that he could at least let go of his trace of hope, but… a rhetorical question was more hurtful than a stiff refusal, and it brought him to the brink of collapse.

“That’s right. What should I hope you think about me? I’m just a street rat. Most others like me can’t live to be twenty years old. What can I hope the famous Xuan Yinzi thinks about me? For me, the fate of a chess piece is already very good…” Shu Si’s voice trembled more and more, “Dead Face, don’t you have any feelings? You and I have been together for so long in the City of Immortals. Even if we’re a cat and a dog, we should at least have some feelings right? I-I always think of you as my… how could you…”

However, when Shu Si was on the verge of collapse, Dead Face suddenly said, “Cats and dogs are not qualified to be my chess pieces. This move is the most important part of my whole plan. I can’t fully trust you unless you and I have been together for nearly a year.”

Shu Si was amused, but more because of a strange warmth that suddenly swelled in his heart. He laughed and said, “According to you, being a chess piece is something to be proud of?”

“I am not good at chess. I only play chess once in my life, and I only had one chess piece.”

“So, I should be glad to be the only chess piece in your hand?”

“You really should be glad, because I will always do my best for that only piece.”

The voice of Dead Face was still as flat and light as before, but the resentment in Shu Si’s heart had almost disappeared.

Yes, Dead Face was always like this, cold and indifferent. To expect him to express his feelings like a normal person, wasn’t that difficult? What’s more, although Dead Face didn’t say it, in fact… he was indeed treated as if he was his descendant. Moreover, as a chess piece, being alive was better than death. However, Dead Face was not better either, because he was also a chess piece.

To understand this, Shu Si was left with a lump in his heart.

“If you were to tell me in advance about these things…”

“If I told you in advance, your performance would not be natural. After all, you have less than a year as a chess piece, so I still can’t believe you could do it.”

Although Dead Face said that he couldn’t believe him, Shu Si felt more comfortable after hearing it.

It was not that Dead Face didn’t value him. On the contrary, because Dead Face valued him so much that he couldn’t believe it… And this feeling was not bad.

“So… Dead Face, what is the situation now? Are you dead or what? What do you want me to do by putting me beside Luo Xiao?”

After his mood was restored, Shu Si’s problem suddenly increased. However, before Dead Face could answer, he heard footsteps from the outside.

Shu Si immediately calmed down and did not dare to talk with the voice in his head. At this time, he had regained his composure and naturally wanted to hide the existence of Dead Face.

A moment later, the door opened. Not surprisingly, it was Luo Xiao who came in.

“It seems that you and this puppet are a good match.” Luo Xiao smiled sarcastically and said, “Just woken up but you’ve already cried out.”

Shu s.h.i.+’s mind was stunned. He guessed that when he was excited just now, he probably didn’t control his body well… But it was no big deal.

It was human nature to cry out after one survived calamity, especially after finding out that although he didn’t die, it was not that different than as if he had died. If Shu Si was not in a hurry to confront Dead Face, perhaps he would’ve cried out more before he had the time to think about other things.

Thus, he didn’t panic and responded to Luo Xiao with the right att.i.tude, “… What do you want to do?”

Luo Xiao smiled and said, “What do I want to do? There are too many people in the City of Immortals who want to know what I am doing. I’m afraid half of the Elders of Heavenly Sage Hall are probably crazy about this question. So, why should I tell you?”

However, after a while, Luo Xiao said with a smile, “But, I can talk to you if I have nothing to do and bored. For example, do you want to know who is behind me?”

Shu Si was greatly shocked, and he did not deliberately hide this shock.

“Isn’t the Fallen Immortal behind you?”

“Fallen Immortal?” Luo Xiao smiled disapprovingly, “If there is really a Fallen Immortal, why would they need me to be their dog? Any Fallen Immortal can sweep through the City of Immortal easily… Rest a.s.sured, it’s too early for the real Fallen Immortal.”

“Gulp.”

Shu s.h.i.+ couldn’t help but swallow his saliva as he heard his own heartbeat.

“However, it’s not that easy for the Fallen Immortals to fully come to Nine Regions. Right now, they could only stretch out one hand. So they need helpers… or loyal dogs.” Luo Xiao pointed at himself with a smile and then reached out to Shu Si.

“Shu Si, do you have any interest in being the Fallen Immortal’s dogs with me?”
