117: Teasing each other with Ji Xu

“You guys...”

Han Lie turned to look at Liu Ruyan and the others, scratching his head. This action startled Liu Ruyan, who quickly said, “I know… I know…”

“The Giant killed them!”

“Uh…”

Han Lie shrugged. “I meant, let’s get out of here as soon as possible. You Wenshi’s physical condition doesn’t look too optimistic; he needs treatment quickly!”

“...Ah!”

Xing Xin and Liu Ruyan were stunned by his words.

Then they immediately agreed, “Okay!”

They carried You Wenshi out. Even after leaving the passage, everything still felt unreal. Xing Xin whispered, “I thought Han Lie would kill us all!”

Liu Ruyan didn't speak. She had been scared too, but thinking it over, if it had been her, with the opportunity, ability, and conditions, she would definitely have killed Gao Feng.

That woman was truly annoying. Just take their first meeting with Han Lie, for example; she exposed her shortcomings and called her Liu Ruyan.

People like that,

Are like a toad squatting on your foot.

They don't bite, but they're disgusting.

As for killing the others, Liu Ruyan knew she didn't have that ruthlessness, but those people had already witnessed Han Lie killing Gao Feng, and there had been previous conflicts. It would be hard to guarantee they wouldn't cause trouble for Han Lie later. Killing them might not be the most reasonable solution, but it was definitely the simplest.

This junior is so ruthless...

“Don’t say anything once we’re out. If anyone asks, just say you fainted during a fight with the Giant, and when you woke up, everyone else was dead. Just say you were lucky!” Liu Ruyan said.

“Mm… got it!” Xing Xin said sullenly, “I know what you’re worried about, Senior Sister. I used to like to gossip, but I wouldn’t dare with this!”

“Mm…”

..................

Han Lie burned all the evidence to ashes with a single flame.

Walking out of the prison to meet someone,

He heard a teasing voice: “Oh, our little shrimp criminal is out!!”

“..............”

Han Lie looked helplessly at Jijiang, who was radiant as if nothing had happened. Her eyes were smiling, full of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, without a trace of anger from before. Her change of expression was truly fast.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is the little shrimp criminal mad at me?”

She walked straight over, very close to Han Lie, and examined him with a playful, girlish demeanor.

She tilted her head, suppressing a laugh.

“You don’t think you’re cute, do you?”

Han Lie stiffened, his fists clenched.

“hhhhhhh!”

Jijiang laughed, quickly taking a step back.

“You son of a gun, you wouldn’t be so bloodthirsty that you’d even hit me, would you?”

“...........”

Han Lie was speechless for a moment. “I’m not a murderer. Those people inside were killed by the Giant. I just happened to break through and escaped harm!”

“...Hahaha, good!”

Jijiang was overjoyed. “Alright, alright, they were all killed by the Giant. But you can fool your friends, just don’t fool yourself!”

“Heh heh…” Han Lie scoffed at her words. “Me, a murderer? Someone attacked me; what could I do? If you ask me, someone else is the murderer. She brought me here directly without telling me anything. If I’m not mistaken, you communicated with everyone else, right?”

“Mm-hmm!”

Jijiang nodded. “Yes, I did communicate with them. I have their contact information, but not yours, so I could only force you to come!”

“That’s not important!”

“Anyway, I was going to come!” Han Lie said truthfully, then changed the subject: “But you brought us into such a oppressive environment, turning me into a little white rabbit among wolves—at least that’s how they saw it—yet you publicly did nothing to endorse me. This was clearly meant to harm me!!”

“Ah… really?” Jijiang was stunned.

“Heh heh!” Han Lie continued to sneer, “Maybe you didn’t think so, but the result is the result. You ignored us for almost half a month, and then you just disappeared…”

“I was buying you a phone!” she said.

“What kind of phone takes half a month to buy?” Han Lie retorted, “In short, your disappearance for half a month led to these people becoming extremely hostile. Today was just a sign. If I had backed down today, they would definitely continue to bully me in the future, and even target my woman!”

“Hmm, that makes sense!”

Jijiang nodded.

“So you killed them all?”

“You killed them!”

Han Lie argued eloquently, “As the leader who brought us here, you should have controlled the atmosphere among us and nipped these issues in the bud. But you didn’t; you kept disappearing, causing things to escalate. And I was not wrong in this matter; I was just fighting back!!”

“???”

Jijiang was stunned, hearing this.

It seemed to be true.

“So, I did kill someone!”

“But I am also a victim!!!”

Han Lie looked very innocent, “You need to compensate me for emotional damages!!!”

“?” Jijiang really wanted to ask, do you have no shame?

“Fine, what do you want?”

She wanted to know if he could be even more shameless.

“I want snacks. For the food, I’ll give you an address, and you can pick it up there. Also, I need to kill chickens, the kind of ordinary wild chickens that are everywhere outside the Mystic Realm…”

“Wait!”

Jijiang’s eyes widened. “You’re saying you want me to use a war chariot to help you carry wild chickens? You’re not joking, are you?”

“Uh…” Han Lie thought for a moment. It was indeed a bit difficult. “Don’t you have anything like a Spatial Ring?”

“Spatial Ring?” Jijiang frowned and thought for a moment. “I do, but don’t even think about that. I can’t use that thing to carry wild chickens for you. Besides, that kind of thing can only hold inanimate objects. Do you want dead chickens too?”

“Ah… then forget it!” Han Lie waved his hand. “Then just help me get some snacks, okay?”

“Can’t you go back yourself?” Jijiang asked.

“I still have to torment the little brats!”

Han Lie said.

“...............”

Silence was the Cambridge of this evening.

“Wait, I haven’t agreed yet!”

She suddenly remembered.

“You have to agree whether you want to or not. You won’t even agree to such a small thing? Do you know how severe the emotional damage you’ve caused me is?”

“His grandpa, it’s really severe!”

Jijiang laughed. “But you, kid, are really interesting. Thick-skinned, black-hearted, killing without batting an eye, yet you pretend to be so innocent. In my opinion, someone like you living in a harmonious society would be a ticking time bomb, but to deal with the Universe of Myriad Races, you’re simply a super weapon!! Hahaha, I’m already looking forward to your performance in the Town Boundary Tower!”

“First, I don’t admit what you said!”

Han Lie wagged his finger.

“In my opinion, you are a being a million times more evil than me. If you can be a Principal, why can’t I survive in a harmonious society? I killed people because you held a gun to my head!!”

“? How did I hold a gun to your head!”

“Well, if you had told Gao Feng not to provoke me the first time we met, would any of this have happened today?”

“You’re not going to stop, are you?”

“Bring the snacks, and I’ll stop immediately!”

“.........What if I don’t bring them?”

“Then I’ll pester you…”

“Pester me?”

Jijiang sneered, crossing her arms.

“You should know,”

“I can also not eat beef!”

“...........”

Han Lie listened and became obedient.

Indeed, when under someone else’s roof, one has to bow one’s head.

In fact, while he was speaking just now, he had been observing Jijiang’s expression changes. Although she was arguing with him, she was always smiling.

If she had a truly cold face, he would be scared too.

This was the consequence of lacking strength.

“Are you obedient now?”

Jijiang smiled contentedly.

“Alright, I’ll get them for you, and then I’ll help you resolve the subsequent troubles. As you said, these people were killed by the Giant, but I was the instigator, so consider them killed by me!”

“!!!”

Han Lie was stunned by her words. She’s being so good to me, even willing to clean up my mess?

“You won’t have any trouble, will you?”

“What are you kidding?”

Jijiang had an expression of dissatisfaction after being questioned. “What trouble could a few young Celestial Pride cause? Who among them can do anything to me? Besides, when I came, didn’t I already tell them that I guarantee their arrival, but not their survival?”

“Ah, this…”

Han Lie still couldn’t understand.

Are those family forces stupid? Willing to hand over their children’s lives to such a female demon?! And she can even become a Principal?

“Hmph!”

As if she could read Han Lie’s thoughts, Jijiang looked proud. “You probably don’t know, kid, but a few hundred years ago, our Human Race also participated in a Town Boundary Tower struggle. That time, we went with a total of 18,576 people, but only one person survived!!”

“It wasn’t you, Principal, was it?!”

Han Lie understood. He understood instantly.

That’s why those people knew the Principal was mentally unstable yet still sent their children here, because going to the Town Boundary Tower was originally a dead end, but with her, there seemed to be a glimmer of hope.

“Heh heh!” Jijiang’s pride overflowed.

As if saying, ‘Worship me, kid!’

“Hurry up and get me some snacks, Principal!”

Han Lie remained noncommittal.

“What did you call me?”

She asked again, not at all like a female demon who had lived for hundreds of years, but more like a female university student eager to prove herself superior.

“...Good Sister!” Han Lie was willing to yield.

“Why aren’t you calling me ‘Mommy’ anymore?” she asked, surprised.

“..........”

Han Lie spread his hands and said solemnly:

“That’s extra!”
