Chapter 389 The Patron Saint?

‘

“To be honest, I did not expect him to strike you. After all, you are one of the five patriarchs and you have always been on his side.” Xiao Bing managed a bitter smile, “Fortunately, your injuries are not serious. You should recover after two days.”

“Okay.” Red Rose sounded upset. “Please take a stroll with me.”

Aghast, Xiao Bing asked, “Should I get dressed?”

“No. Bai Jun already knows about you and he did not do anything to you, which means that the others will not harm you. In this country, besides King Mamba, Bai Jun is the only one who I need to obey. But I suppose that King Mamba must have heard the news. But he won’t bother me at this moment. Walk with me. I’m not feeling very well.”

“Okay. Actually, I’m also bored. I will be glad to take a stroll with you.”

Xiao Bing had wished that he could go around and have more talks with Red Rose, so that he could find out more about the ceremony before it began.

The two left the cabin and walked, shoulder to shoulder. “Actually, you don’t have to be so sad. As a saying goes, it’s hard to find a three-legged frog, but it’s easy to find a two-legged man. Since Bai Jun did this to you, it means that he does not take you seriously. So you should stop thinking about him.”

Red Rose sighed, “I didn’t… Actually, when he hit me, I realized that maybe I’m nothing to him. Besides, he doesn’t really matter much to me. He’s handsome and powerful. That might be the reason why I fell in love with him in the first place.”

“What about now?” Xiao Bing grinned, “You thought it through because of me?”

“Yes.” She answered solemnly. “It was not until I met you that I found that Bai Jun is just a little different from the other men here. Yet he’s no different from the others when compared with you. You’re more real and more friendly.”

“Really?”

“Bai Jun’s life goal is to be Orochi’s guardian and he will spend his life to revive it. There is no room for love in his heart. He’s not even living for himself. But you are different. Do you know when I realized it?”

“I don’t know. We have just spent two days together. I don’t know when I made you think that I’m different.”

“It’s from the beginning when you said you want to save your teammates. Everyone here only care about themselves. They look like humans, but are as cruel as snakes. All they think about is how to hunt for prey. There’s no friendship between them. Their blood is cold like Bai Jun’s. But I’m different. I want to be beautiful, loved, complimented and cared for. I like the feeling of being loved by men. I’m more human in that aspect… But you’re a real human whom I have always been craving for.”

Xiao Bing sighed, “They all have human natures. But humans may not be as good as you think, when compared with other animals. They have ambitions, so they often will do things by any means. But to me, the most important thing for humans is love, which might be something that can scarcely be found here.”

“Alas, I wish I was born in the outside world.”

Xiao Bing suddenly asked, “Do you believe in fate?”

Red Rose managed a wry smile, “I’m meant to be trapped here forever. How can I not believe it?”

Xiao Bing asked, “Do you know what’s the biggest difference between you and my girlfriend.”

Red Rose shook her head, “I don’t know.”

“She’s stronger than you.”
