405 Who exactly are you (2/2)

The Infernal Queen gaped and whispered, ”Darling, you returned after so many days, and I was lonely. I wanted to spray some aphrodisiac perfume to enhance my appeal. Is...that also wrong?”

”It's not wrong, and it's very reasonable, but the mistake was that you were too eager.”

Shi Xiaobai stretched two fingers out. ”Twice. You sprayed the perfume twice. The amounts that were sprayed both times were completely different. You probably never expected that This King could precisely distinguish the level of toxicity in the perfume. The amount of aphrodisiac perfume sprayed tonight is 3.3 times more than it was in the afternoon. If you were only doing so to increase your appeal, is there a need to increase the concentration of the aphrodisiac perfume?”

The Infernal Queen said with a wry smile, ”I, I might have made a mistake and sprayed too much. Darling, if you don't like such methods of enhancing appeal, I won't spray it in the future. But how can this say that I'm not the real Infernal Queen? I only did this in a moment of folly because I love you too much...”

Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, ”Indeed, these two points would not be able to explain anything. Be it the red mole under the armpit or the aphrodisiac perfume, it at most proves that you have lied and that you are not as honest to This King as you appear. But unfortunately, you made the biggest mistake. Think back carefully. Back when This King said 'You know that This King isn't the real Infernal King', how did you answer?”

A trace of surprise flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes. She carefully recollected what her first response was.

Back then, she had said the words ”Darling, you are joking once again! If I knew that you weren't the Infernal King and not my husband, how would I do such bold and shameless deeds?”

Was there something wrong with that?

Where was the problem?

The Infernal Queen's pupils suddenly dilated as she looked in disbelief at Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai sped up his speaking speed and said, ”Do you understand now? Your guilty conscience answer has completely exposed you. When This King said, 'You know that This King isn't the real Infernal King', you instinctively rejected the matter that 'you know that This King isn't the real Infernal King', and not that 'This King isn't the Infernal King'! It's because you know that This King is not the Infernal King, so you never realized the pitfall of that sentence. You were too eager to deny the fact that you knew that This King is not the Infernal King. But by doing so, you exposed the truth!”

”Then, with the 'You know that This King isn't the real Infernal King' as a premise, all your actions can be explained. You know that This King isn't the Infernal King because, in order to make This King believe that he is the Infernal King, you said the lie about the red mole under the armpit. You know that This King isn't the Infernal King, so he would not have intercourse with you normally. Therefore, you sprayed aphrodisiac perfume. When you realized that the effects were not obvious, you allowed This King more latitude first before striking later. You waited until the night and increased the concentration of the aphrodisiac perfume. And all of your actions, be it the striptease or you being naked at this moment, your goal is extremely obvious. You want to seduce This King!”

”If you are the real Infernal Queen and with you knowing that This King isn't the real Infernal King, how could you possibly take actions to seduce This King? Therefore, there is only one truth. You are not the real Infernal Queen!”

The Infernal Queen fell silent and after looking into Shi Xiaobai's eyes for a moment, she said softly with a laugh, ”What Darling said are just wishful speculation and inference. There is no evidence at all. I admit that I said a lie, sprayed aphrodisiac perfume and did very bold and shameless acts of temptation. The question from before was me answering incorrectly because of a moment of confusion. But what can all this prove? I only did so out of loneliness, hoping that Darling can quickly show his love to me. By doing this, wouldn't it perfectly prove my feelings for you? Darling, your inference sounds very reasonable, but there is no evidence that can prove that I'm not the real Infernal Queen.”

Shi Xiaobai sighed and said, ”The evidence you want is very simple. You can change everything about you to be identical to the Infernal Queen, but there is one thing that you instinctively ignored. That's because you didn't think that This King would be able to discover the thing that you couldn't be bothered to hide. Your strength is ridiculously strong.”

When the Infernal Queen heard this, her eyes widened.

Shi Xiaobai focused on the Infernal Queen's naked and alluring body and confirmed that he did not make a mistake. When he gathered his killing intent to concentrate on the body in front of him, he did not see a single red line.

Not a single one!

This was unprecedented for Shi Xiaobai. He could see about three or four red lines even for the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign or King Leonis in his fourth state. But, Shi Xiaobai could not find a single one inside the Infernal Queen in front of him!

”You are very strong. You are so strong that there is no need to hide your power level because you know that This King will not be able to see your true strength. And that's true. This King can't tell, but it's because This King can't tell which lets This King know that your strength far exceeds the real Infernal Queen! You are a fake Infernal Queen!”

Shi Xiaobai focused on the Infernal Queen's eyes and said with a deep voice, ”Your strength can clearly one-shot This King! Why are you pretending to be the Infernal Queen and trying all means to seduce This King! What is your goal? And...who the hell are you!?”IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
