435 If Shi Xiaobai confessed (1/2)
”How stirring. His Majesty's words have stirred me up.”
”What a impressive line of 'This King is omnipotent because This King is fearless'. Who knew that the Infernal King has such a passionate side to him.”
”The Celestial King was utterly defeated, the new Transcendent King has died. Despite such circumstances, the Infernal King, who knows he doesn't have much chance of victory, still chooses to unsheathe his sword and proceed forward bravely. It's too cool. Although I am from the Celestial domain, at this moment, I want to shout to the Infernal King, all the best!”
”Revenge, we need to seek revenge for our dead king. We implore you Infernal King!”
”All the best, Infernal King!”
Above the basin, the attitude Shi Xiaobai had when he was facing the upcoming battle and the impassioned speech he gave broke the silence. The thirty-thousand-strong audience could not help but cry out. It might have been the stirring of their deepest feelings or to cheer the Infernal King on, or hoping that the Infernal King would avenge the new Transcendent King who died tragically. At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was the center of attention.
Speechless could not help but suffuse a smile as he stared at Shi Xiaobai's back. He muttered, ”He is a youth deserving of being the apple of This Emperor's eye.”
Mu Yuesheng, who was supporting Speechless, heard the words he muttered and immediately recalled the scene of Shi Xiaobai embracing the injured Speechless. It was quite a strange and very harmonious scene, so she could not help but mock him, ”I heard you recently rejected Princess Jasmine's confession, causing quite a stir in China. You nearly hit the headlines of China Daily.”
”Hey, that Princess Jasmine is considered as a one in a millennium rare genius in the field of academia. Her IQ is 190 and ranked third in all of history. In terms of her looks, she is no worse than Sunless. Her family background is even higher than you as the heir to the Li family.”
”At just the age of fourteen, she got a Nobel Prize in Science. At the award ceremony that was to enter the annals of history, she recited a touching confession to you. It stirred the entire world. People said that the two of you are the most compatible pairing in the world, and that the both of you would date under the watchful eyes of the world.”
”But who knew that, you gave the nice person card the next day, and said that you were very touched before rejecting Princess Jasmine's confession. Everyone cursed you for being blind to the bliss just beside you. They were even guessing how excellent a girl needed to be in order to catch your eye.”
”I was wondering why you could even bear rejecting Princess Jasmine, but upon careful thought, it seems like the number of girls you have rejected is uncountable. Brother Speechless, could it be...that you like men?”
To be able to reject Princess Jasmine who had such excellent qualities and not be moved by all the excellent girls that pursued him, it was clearly not what a normal teenager would do, unless he was not normal.
For example, his sexual orientation.
In combination with the words, 'youth deserving of being the apple of This Emperor's eye', one would naturally produce such a strange thought.
Speechless rolled his eyes. But seeing how Mu Yuesheng began to subconsciously believe her own ridiculous suggestion, to the point of becoming serious and flustered, he could not help but turn playful.
Therefore, he purposely said seriously, ”I have never seen that Jasmine even once before. We never had any contact either. She suddenly confessed to me and the so-called liking for me is just absurd.”
”It's unknown why she suddenly had the thought to confess, so I naturally had to reject her. But on careful thought, I have also rejected a few playmates I grew up with. I always believed that I had high standards and had yet to met someone I truly like, so I refused to compromise.”
”But now, after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized that it might not be the truth. It seems like I really do not have much interest in females. Instead, after hearing Shi Xiaobai's words, my heart began to beat quickly. Could it be...”
When Mu Yuesheng heard that, she immediately turned pale from fright. She looked at Speechless in panic and shook her head frantically, ”An illusion. All of this is an illusion...”
”No, it's not an illusion.”
Speechless said with a firm look as he said with certainty, ”Little Yue, thank you for enlightening me! I finally realize my true feelings! We can ask ourselves—if the person confessing to me is Shi Xiaobai, will I be able to reject him? The answer is actually...I can't.”
Mu Yuesheng felt like she was struck by lightning. She felt like she had accidentally opened Pandora's box and was feeling panicked and regretful for it.
Speechless said with a laugh, ”Haha, don't worry. It's just one-sided. Shi Xiaobai is constantly hitting on girls, so his sexual orientation is definitely normal. How could he confess to me?”
Mu Yuesheng immediately felt that she was being too detestable for her to make such a joke without thinking.
