Chapter 354: Chapter 147 Candor, Unreasonable, Rice Flower_3

Ma Xiaoling’s pupils suddenly contracted, and her spear moved forward another step, but ultimately stopped.

The distance between the spear and Ren Zhong’s forehead was only one centimeter.

Ren Zhong took five minutes to defuse the crisis.

He slowly raised his hand, covering his mouth again, and said in a low voice, "I plan to defeat the Cold-blooded Butcher in the Pu Cha assessment."

Ma Xiaoling: "That’s impossible!"

"Two months ago, who would believe I could kill Lin Wang? Back then when I told you, didn’t you also think it was impossible?"

Ma Xiaoling: "..."

"Do you know who I chose as my sparring partner in the VIP training arena today? A Fifth Level Armored Soldier, strength type. I don’t know if Mayor Ma told you, but the person in charge of the combat assessment for the Starfire Town wildlings is exactly a Fifth Level Armored Soldier known by the nickname Cold-blooded Butcher. That’s why I’m so exhausted now."

Ma Xiaoling: "..."

After a long while, she finally put away her spear, sat cross-legged next to Ren Zhong, and said gloomily, "I’ve heard of this person. Very strong, unimaginably strong. Moreover, this person is extremely bloodthirsty, never leaving survivors. Even though you are already a Citizen, if you choose to represent the temporary wildlings’ combat power in the Pu Cha assessment, you will lose the protection of being a Citizen in the Duel Arena. The Cold-blooded Butcher can kill you at will. You have neither the need nor the hope. It’s unreasonable."

Ren Zhong shrugged, staring at Ma Xiaoling with deep affection, his lips trembling slightly, "Do you think I’m lying?"

Ma Xiaoling turned her face away, muttering in a low voice, "I can’t see through you. I don’t know. I’ve been tricked by you too many times. You like to deceive everyone. I just found out your new persona in Chromium Carbon Town is the strongest Third Level Professional. You deceive everywhere you go."

Ren Zhong gently held her hand, "Ms. Ma, did you make money from stocks?"

"I did. You didn’t lie to me about that."

Ma Xiaoling lowered her head slightly.

Ren Zhong whispered in her ear, "The purpose of establishing myself as the strongest Third Level Professional is to gain time freedom, so Yang Bingzhong doesn’t send me hunting, and then I can improve as fast as possible in the county’s training ground."

"Then tell me, why are you sending yourself to die? What are you really after?"

Ren Zhong continued whispering in her ear, "Ma Xiaoling, you and your father are both high-ranking Citizens. You have seen what Citizens are like in this world. Can you explain why you and your father are different, why you are so sympathetic towards the wildlings? Tell me, what do you gain from it?"

"This..."

Ma Xiaoling was stumped by his question and turned to look at him. Their faces were less than five centimeters apart.

At this moment, her mind was quite confused, and she knew her father was very strange too.

Having grown up with her father, being deeply influenced by him, she knew she was considered eccentric, unsociable, and seemed unusual in the eyes of her classmates, other Citizens in the town, and other younger members of the Ma Family.

But she never thought about "why."

After all, everyone has quirks, Ma Xiaoling felt that her and her father’s quirks were quite fine and had no intention to change them.

Seeing others suffering, anticipating disasters about to happen to others, she felt a bit of sympathy.

This was both normal and abnormal.

Ma Xiaoling felt this happened to her naturally.

But others always laughed at her, wondering why she foolishly treated those tools as her kind, thinking she was ridiculous.

Ma Xiaoling could not refute, and over time, she got too lazy to talk to people about it, only burying the matter in her heart.

Ren Zhong smiled, "Actually, I know the answer, but I can’t tell you now. Ms. Ma, help me one more time, believe in me one more time. Let’s do something unreasonable together."

"But I still want to hit you, what should I do?"

"Do you see how weak I look now? Can you bear it?"

"I can."

"Then go ahead and hit me."

"Huh?"

"You’ve come all the way here; Yang Bingzhong’s men must have seen it too, so it’s unreasonable not to beat me up once. It’s best to injure me severely."

"Are you serious?"

"Serious. Hit me quickly, we’ve talked too long. Get angry quickly, like a heartbroken woman abandoned by a heartless man, the angrier, the better. Hurry up! But after you injure me, you must send me to the county immediately. I’ll return to Starfire Town in seven days. I don’t want to waste time, every day must be high-intensity training. Come on!"

"Ren Zhong! You must take responsibility for me!"

Ma Xiaoling jumped up, her fists falling like rain.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Yang Bingzhong received Ren Zhong’s "SOS" message.

"Boss Yang, save me! Ma Xiaoling, that crazy woman, is chasing after me! I borrowed money from her before, and left in a hurry without repaying it. Now she’s listed me as a defaulter! She can hit me at will! I said I’d repay her, but she doesn’t want it at all! I’m getting severely injured and being dragged towards the county! She said she’ll heal me and then continue beating, beat me and heal again! Boss Yang, save me!"
