441 Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai (2/2)

”You were able to fool me not out of coincidence or luck, but because you are smarter than others.”

Shi Xiaobai was surprised when he heard her. He never expected to receive such compliments. He even felt a bit embarrassed as he involuntarily scratched his head and said with a silly laugh, ”You are flattering This King. For you to be able to analyze This King's thought process in such a short period of time makes you quite an impressive person as well.”

When the thirty-thousand-strong audience heard this conversation, other than having a blank mind, they had no other thought. They felt like their intelligence was fake, but when they heard the last statement, they could not help but curse—that was like shameless flattery between business partners!

The girl's faint smile was like an epiphyllum's fleeting bloom. It quickly disappeared. Her eyes turned calm once again as she said, ”Let me ask you one last time. You went through so much thought, was it so as to verify that I'm a girl in disguise?”

When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he hesitated for a moment before saying with a nod, ”That's because we are bound to fight a life-and-death battle immediately following this. If it's not you dying, it will be This King. But no matter who dies, This King will lose the chance to verify his doubt. This King does not want to leave behind any regrets or questions. On this point, This King believes that you who are suppressing your killing intent will understand the most.”

Shi Xiaobai sighed in his heart. He said he would not lie, but at that moment, he had no choice but to lie. The reason why he did it was because of the Absolute Choice. It was the Absolute Choice that had forced him to make such a screwed up matter.

The confession was just too embarrassing no matter who it was said to.

But if he could turn the confession into a perfect lie, a simple scheme with a goal, it could verify the guess on his mind and also relieve the embarrassing situation. It could kill two birds with one stone, so why not?

That was the fifth path Shi Xiaobai chose. He changed the first impression of it being a 'crazy path' to a 'clever path'.

Dawn believed in Shi Xiaobai's explanation and did not probe any further. Instead, she slowly took a step forward, and said, ”Then one last question, please tell me your name.”

Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback as he suddenly felt a strange feeling of achievement. He grinned and said his name. ”This King's name is Shi Xiaobai!”

”Shi Xiaobai.”

Dawn said softly as she gave Shi Xiaobai a deep glance. Her lips trembled slightly as she said out words that seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

”Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai.”

The voice that sounded like chiming heavenly bells resounded in the air.

The girl's figure had already transformed into a flash as she charged at Shi Xiaobai. The Lucifer's Sword in her hand was clenched tightly as it shimmered with a resplendent golden light.

It was as though the first light of dawn had torn through the night sky.

...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'.
