406 The Seductive Infernal Queen (2/2)
Shi Xiaobai was flabbergasted. That could actually be wrong?
However, from the Infernal Queen's grinning expression, it looked like she was relishing Shi Xiaobai's failure at guessing. It did not seem like she was lying
However, if the Infernal Queen was not sent by the assessment program, how did she gain the identity rights of the Infernal Queen?
Shi Xiaobai hurriedly turned his head as his eyes lit up. ”You previously said—'this body has never been touched by anyone else. If you wish, you can become her only man'. You referred your body as 'her', which points to the fact that the body isn't yours. You only replaced the Infernal Queen's soul! You were not created by the assessment program, but you also have the ability to replace the Infernal Queen's soul. Then there are two possibilities. Firstly, you do not belong to the land of the trials. You are an outsider! Secondly, you are the...Level Lord!?”
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she fell silent for a moment. She gave Shi Xiaobai a deep glance and said, ”You are very smart. You were able to manage to notice such tiny details. Even I didn't notice that I had revealed anything, but you were able to infer so much from it. You are indeed impressive. But...you guessed wrong.”
Shi Xiaobai gaped slightly. He did not shout out aghast 'how can it be possible' like ordinary people when facing such a situation. Instead, he continued thinking. Even though his extremely convincing theory had been denied without any reason, he was not thrown into confusion.
A look of admiration flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes as she chuckled and said, ”You have already guessed twice, but gave three answers. Technically speaking, you have failed. However, I'm truly looking forward to you being able to guess my identity, so I'll give you one last chance. You still have three other chances. Go ahead and guess. Who am I?”
Shi Xiaobai fell silent as he gave the Infernal Queen a silent glance. Suddenly, he turned towards the desk and nonchalantly picked up a book to flip through it.
”Have you given up?”
A look of disappointment flashed in the Infernal Queen's eyes.
Shi Xiaobai shook his head and said, ”Give up? Such a word does not exist. This King just doesn't want to waste the third opportunity. Rest assured. This King will manage to guess your identity. Just wait till the moment when This King has enough clues. This King hopes that when he reveals your real identity, you would be able to uphold your promise and admit it honestly.”
Shi Xiaobai did not like to make blind guesses without any reason. He knew that if he were to blindly guess, it would be a waste of an opportunity.
When the Infernal Queen heard this, she beamed even more as she chuckled, ”Then, I'll look forward to it.”
As the Infernal Queen laughed, she walked towards the large and soft silk-laden bed.
”You are the fake Infernal King and I'm the Infernal Queen. Two fakes make it true, so why don't you turn something fake into reality?”
The Infernal Queen threw herself onto the bed and rolled on it once. Squirming into the blanket, she said seductively, ”I'll first warm the bed. Whenever you want to come to bed, I'll open my legs to warmly welcome you.”
Shi Xiaobai only smiled silently at the seductive Infernal Queen's words. He cast his gaze back on the desk. He chose to expose her in order to prevent the Infernal Queen from sexual harassment. It gave him more time to investigate clues left behind by the real Infernal King.
However, just as Shi Xiaobai was flipping through a small notebook that resembled a diary, a loud explosion sounded from the distance.
Immediately following that, a high-pitched alarm resounded incessantly throughout the entire Infernal domain.
The silence outside the bedroom was instantly broken by panicked footsteps and noisy shouts.
”What's the situation!?”
Shi Xiaobai instinctively looked at the Infernal Queen and asked.
In bed, the Infernal Queen yawned lazily and said with squinted eyes, ”You ask me, but who can I ask?”
It was obvious that she was feigning ignorance, but her emotive acting was extremely playful. It was like she was saying 'I know, but I'll not tell you. Are you angry?'
Shi Xiaobai laughed from his anger, but there was nothing he could do about her. Putting down the notebook in hand, he walked out to figure out what had happened.
Damn it, it's infuriating. Exposing her appeared a bit too early.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'.
