405 Who exactly are you (1/2)
Infernal domain, Infernal King's bedroom
”You would, of course, do it because you are not the real Infernal Queen either!”
A glow flashed in Shi Xiaobai's eyes that seemed to see through everything.
The Infernal Queen was startled and said with a puzzled expression, ”I'm not the real Infernal Queen? Darling, why are you making such a strange joke?”
Shi Xiaobai smiled without saying a word. After looking into the Infernal Queen's eyes for a few moments, he pointed to his right armpit and said, ”Unfortunately, This King does not have a red mole under This King's right armpit.”
When the Infernal Queen heard this, her expression remained the same as she said with certainty, ”I'm certain that Darling has a red mole underneath your armpit.”
Shi Xiaobai chuckled, ”This afternoon, This King had deliberately taken off his clothes while in the bathroom. This King had looked using a mirror but there was no red mole. Do you think that This King made a mistake?”
The Infernal Queen fell silent for a moment before her expression gradually turned serious. She pondered for a moment before saying softly, ”Maybe I remembered wrong. It might be under the left armpit.”
Shi Xiaobai shook his head with a laugh as he said, ”Unfortunately, there was none under the left armpit either.”
A look of surprise flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes as she exclaimed, ”Impossible!”
”Impossible?”
Shi Xiaobai said with a sneer, ”Do you mean that it's impossible that This King doesn't have a red mole under either of his armpits or do you mean that it's impossible for This King to be so insipid as to check his armpits so carefully?”
The Infernal Queen fell silent as she looked at Shi Xiaobai and said with a faint grumble, ”Darling, are you trying to make things difficult for me?”
Shi Xiaobai chuckled, ”You know that This King has a birthmark on his chest because This King's clothes had been changed before, but you did not obtain more private information. However, in order to make This King believe that he is the Infernal King, you used the very persuasive argument of the existence of a red mole under the armpit. That was indeed a very wise lie because ordinary people would not pay any attention about the existence of a red mole under the armpit. And there was no way anyone would take off their clothes on the spot to check. After someone realizes that he was the Infernal King, he would not make the unnecessary move of verifying it. This is a lie that nearly could not be exposed. But you must have never thought that This King will really check. Furthermore, This King had checked both armpits!”
The Infernal Queen sighed and said, ”Darling, aren't you just splitting hairs? When Darling kept insisting that he wasn't the Infernal King, I was anxious and said a lie, so as to stop Darling from joking. Darling, you could lie and say that you are not the Infernal King, so why can't I make a harmless lie?”
”Of course you can lie,” said Shi Xiaobai with a nod. ”You were quite clever to not say that you remembered wrongly. Lying is indeed the best excuse. This King also believed that you had said a lie because of your anxiousness, but unfortunately, that is not the only thing you did that let the cat out of the bag!”
The Infernal Queen said in a soft voice, ”What did I do to make Darling misunderstand me?”
”Perfume.” Shi Xiaobai said softly, ”This room is filled with a perfume scent.”
The Infernal Queen said in surprise, ”Is there a problem spraying a bit of perfume in the room?”
”It's very normal to spray perfume in the room, but the problem was that the perfume is poisonous!”
Shi Xiaobai said with a sneer, ”You probably never expected that not only is This King immune to poison, This King can also easily detect the existence of poison. The perfume in this room contains a strong aphrodisiac poison. It confused This King's mind temporarily, but thankfully, This King is immune to poison, or This King would have indulged in lust.”
