217: Chapter 217 A Definite Beauty

Once Master Bai Mudan lost consciousness and could no longer control the toxins, even if a celestial deity descended, they would have to say: "It is over."

"Boss, your current situation is indeed a bit troublesome to handle, but it is not completely unmanageable."

"Have you forgotten? Just a moment ago, after watching the film for only a minute, you went from being lethargic to full of energy."

"Even during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu, who possessed nothing but brute strength, could only rely on playing chess to distract himself and alleviate his pain."

"Since Guan Yu was able to endure the intrusion of the poisoned arrow in his body and the immense pain of having the poison scraped from his bone—an event that even became a celebrated story—I believe my collection of over two thousand films will certainly be more effective than chess at diverting your attention, Boss."

"Your strength, Boss, is far greater than Guan Yu's. I believe that as long as you follow my method and divert your attention, both the burning sensation and pain caused by the lead poison and the chili will be suppressed."

"As long as you can hold on, everything will be fine, and your life can be saved."

Seeing that Master Bai Mudan's heart was wavering due to his explanation, and that she didn't show the slightest bit of disgust, Chu Yuan beamed with joy and continued to recommend his collection of over two hundred blockbuster films.

This tone combined with his words and actions was exactly like those ill-intentioned creepy uncles telling innocent, naive little girls that their cat could do backflips, all in an attempt to trick them.

Seeing this foolish punk repeatedly bring up the matter of watching films in front of her, the shyness that Master Bai Mudan had originally suppressed surged into her heart once again.

Her pale cheeks were already flushed bright red from embarrassment.

As a mercenary who had hovered on the edge of life and death since childhood, the things Master Bai Mudan had experienced were far beyond what ordinary people could endure or understand.

The fact that she was able to go from an ordinary person to becoming the head of the Nether Palace and the king of mercenaries showed the strength of her resolve.

Master Bai Mudan cherished her own life more than most people did.

If it weren't for those repeated instances of hovering on the edge of life and death, surviving desperate situations, and struggling with all her might, even with the strongest talent and the most heaven-defying abilities, Master Bai Mudan would never have reached the heights she possessed today.

Therefore, compared to preserving her precious life, the shame of watching those action films in front of this loser Chu Yuan was a trivial matter not worth mentioning.

Master Bai Mudan had made up her mind; she intended to adopt Chu Yuan's method and use the films to divert her pain and attention.

However, when she thought about how she had just sworn boldly in front of Chu Yuan...

That she, Master Bai Mudan, would never watch such disgusting things, even if she were to die from the pain or drop dead right there.

Yet now, only a few minutes after making that boast, she was going back on her word.

She would even have to personally ask Chu Yuan to let her watch those films, and while clutching the phone and watching intently, she would have to mutter: "This is not bad."

This made the proud Master Bai Mudan completely unable to say such things; even thinking about it made her feel mortified.

Chu Yuan watched coldly from the sidelines. Seeing the infinite shyness emerging on Master Bai Mudan's face, he had already seen through her thoughts.

Her beautiful face was turning red and pale by turns, and she looked hesitant, wanting to speak but holding back, appearing restless and anxious.

Since Master Bai Mudan had already made a concession, Chu Yuan did not press his advantage or forcefully compel her to voice her desire to watch the films.

If he pushed her too hard, it would be counterproductive.

This time, Chu Yuan was quite proactive. He took out his phone and reopened the action film he had played for Master Bai Mudan for less than a minute earlier.

Then, he handed the phone to Master Bai Mudan.

"Boss, this is the one I mentioned to you earlier. That film is a story about a female college student and two female teachers. I don't know if you like it."

Master Bai Mudan just stared quietly at Chu Yuan as he handed the phone to her, subconsciously looking at the video on the screen.

The hand that was gripping Chu Yuan's neck also showed visible signs of trembling at this moment.

But thinking that Chu Yuan's method could indeed distract her and had the effect of alleviating the pain...

After hesitating for a moment longer, Master Bai Mudan finally let go, releasing Chu Yuan. With a face full of shyness, she took the phone from his hand and stared at it intently, watching the video content.

"This... this thing is too awful. I don't want to watch something like this."

After watching for a short while, seeing that the video on the phone was about two large Black men bullying a female student, Master Bai Mudan looked up directly to express her dissatisfaction.

At this moment, she no longer had that violent temper, nor did she have the slightest bit of an overbearing air.

Her teary, misty eyes stared fixedly at the hateful punk in front of her. After stuttering for a long time, she still managed to utter those words that made her feel so shy.

"So, Boss, you don't like this type. Don't worry, I have over two thousand films on my phone with all kinds of fighting scenes; we have everything."

"I don't know exactly what you like to watch, so you can just use your finger to scroll slowly and find something..."

Chu Yuan lowered his head, looking at Master Bai Mudan, who had been successfully manipulated by him.

Just as he was about to introduce his two thousand films to Master Bai Mudan, their eyes met in mid-air.

Their eyes locked, staring at each other. What greeted Chu Yuan's gaze was a pair of eyes that seemed capable of melting everything.

Chu Yuan's words came to an abrupt halt mid-sentence.

Did it look like he saw something terrifying?

The dignified former head of the Nether Palace, the king of mercenaries, an existence regarded as a taboo by countless mercenaries.

At this moment, Master Bai Mudan was actually revealing a tender and affectionate expression.

With that stunningly beautiful face, a curvaceous figure, and skin as smooth as congealed fat, her complexion was as white as a baby's, without a single flaw to be seen.

Within that aloof aura, there was a hint of an intimidating dominance.

Such a charming woman was simply the perfect combination of a loli and a mature woman, a true stunner.
