Villain Guardian: After Raising Five Future Villains

Chapter 122

"..."

The room suddenly became quiet. Hua Amber, who never paid attention to or cared about these things, also heard something from Shouguang's smug tone.

That’s quite a lot… and it’s been fifty years.

This god is like a bug that can only crawl and reproduce in the dark. When the light shines on it, or the darkness can no longer contain it, we find that it has grown into such a disgusting existence.

“Why did it suddenly emerge in recent years?”

Shouguang half closed her eyes, her long eyelashes blocking the excitement and agitation in her eyes, "Maybe God thinks that the time has come."

"I think something must have happened in recent years?"

“……” Baiji paused.

Huapo suddenly felt that he shouldn't be here right now. This atmosphere and conversation were very dangerous for him. Why not leave now? It's not too late for him...

What is going to happen in recent years is probably that the lucky children of this generation will begin their stories.

That god is waiting for this.

So how much does it know about the sons of destiny?

Their growth, their dangers...

"Are you planning to intervene?"

"No, of course not." Shou Guang shrugged. "To be honest, I don't really know what has happened in recent years or what is going to happen, but from your performance just now, you should know something."

"You are in the same class as Xianxian and the others, but you don't know this?"

Shou Guang: "Do you think they know? I'm not surprised. God only gave us a level, but it doesn't mean we have to know everything."

"That's too low of His character, isn't it?"

Baiji: “…” I see you know it very clearly.

Shouguang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to touch his hair, and lifted his legs again. "Enough of the nonsense, this is the only information I can provide for free. What about our transaction? Don't worry, I won't ask you any private questions."

"But what I can say depends entirely on your answer."

"Hopefully, this will be a deal that satisfies both parties."

-

Although Hua Apo was present throughout the whole process, he did not hear a single word of the second half of the transaction, and his lip movements were unclear.

I think it was Shouguang who did it. The sound was muted and the vision was blurred. I wonder if it has anything to do with her ability.

From the expressions of the two people, we can roughly infer that both parties are quite satisfied with the transaction, and there was no quarrel during the period.

After a long time, Huapo finally saw Baiji being serious again. The last time was when she was playing a game challenge.

The two men finished the transaction, and Huapo heard the last sentence, "...Maybe there can be more transactions like this in the future." It was said by Shouguang.

Baiji didn't say anything. He sorted out his thoughts with a cold face, then stood up and told Huapo to leave.

Arriving at the door, Baiji put his hand on the doorknob to open it.

"Baiji, isn't it tiring to always pretend to be a good kid?"

Hua Po was stunned and subconsciously looked at Bai Ji. The latter's hand holding the door handle obviously tightened and then loosened.

"none of your business."

Secretary Wang was waiting for them at the door of the office. As soon as Baiji and Huapo came out, he immediately lowered his head and handed Huapo her backpack. "This way, please."

After seeing the two off, Secretary Wang returned to the office.

"You are so kind to tell her so much news."

"Hey, doesn't this make us seem friendly and not like the stereotypical villains in novels?"

"Have you become addicted to writing novels?"

"Can't you just reminisce with me?"

Secretary Wang poured new tea and put it aside.

"It hasn't been too long since we last met. But since you asked so many questions, why don't you ask Xianxian?"

Shouguang’s third guest was the uninvited Skull Gardenia.

"Haha, is it necessary to ask for this kind of information? It's useless to know, they won't let him go."

Skull Zhi stood against the wall, his hands folded across his chest, "Don't you think that Xianxian has lost its value?"

"Don't be so blunt. Of course, isn't this also one of the factors that must be considered? He is no longer valuable. Even if God is here, he won't let me save him." Shouguang put his hands on his legs and slowly closed them. "Xiao Azhi, do you want to save him?"

Skull Gardenia: “…Not really.”

As for saving him, I don't have such a strong desire. After all, he's not a particularly close friend...

"I just didn't expect you didn't even ask."

Shouguang: “Because there is no need.”

Skull Gardenia: "Who is speaking bluntly?"

"By the way, how is little A-Xia doing recently? I haven't visited her for a while. Does she miss me?"

Skull Gardenia: "...You change the subject as quickly as ever."

"Hehe, so did you miss me?" Shouguang raised his eyebrows and took a sip of his teacup. "I've been really busy lately. I'll bring some toys and delicious food to visit her in a while."

"What did she say she wanted last time?"

"Boss, it's the life-size figure of the Electric Attack Team Pink Gold Lion, Lightna. I've already bought it."

"Oh, yes, that's it. Kids' stuff these days is really interesting. A pink and golden lion. When I first heard it, I was confused for a moment. I wondered whether the lion was golden or pink. Hahaha."

Skull Gardenia: "...The pink golden lion is a person."

"Oh? Will little Azhi watch it too?"

"It's just that sometimes I'll accompany Xia... Well, no, don't spoil her too much."

Shouguang stood up instead of sitting, stretched his arms, and walked a few steps to Skull Gardenia. "Don't say that. I am willing to pamper her. Who doesn't like to see little A-Xia's smile?"

Skull Gardenia: “…”

Shou Guang: "Why don't you say anything? Well~ I'll just assume you're jealous? Jealous that I can give little A-Xia the pink golden lion life-size figure she likes."

Skull Gardenia: “No.”

Shouguang: "Don't worry, compared to my golden lions and pink lions, your continued well-being is the best gift for little A-Xia, isn't it? This is something none of us can compare to."

This time, Kuzhi did not reply to her immediately. He turned sideways and looked out the window. Baiji was no longer visible downstairs in the office building. Only the young man who was traveling with Baiji was left.

Secretary Wang tactfully left the office and closed the door behind him.

“Hey, hey, you are not serious, are you?” Seeing that Kuzhi didn’t speak for a long time, Shouguang raised his hand and pinched her face back.

"Do I still have a chance to regret now?" Skull Zhi turned his head and pulled his face out of Shou Guang's hand. "God won't allow it, will he?"

Shouguang: “…”

Shou Guang: "Hiss, okay, I admit that the second half of your sentence is very convincing."

"You've made me not know how to respond."

Skull Gardenia took two steps to the side and said, "You don't have to say it if you don't want to."

"Ah, I figured it out." Shouguang clasped his hands together, making a muffled sound. "In that case, when you leave, I will help you take good care of little A-Xia."

Skull Gardenia: “…”Thank you?

You seem to be certain that I will lose.

-

Fifteen minutes ago, at the entrance of the office building.

"You go back first, I have something sudden." Baiji waved his hand casually, without looking at Huapo's reaction, turned around and left.

Hua Po was still thinking about Shouguang and the feudal organization, and he didn't react at all, nor did he listen. When he turned back, he could no longer see Baiji.

“……”No, you’re leaving now.

I vaguely remember Baiji saying hello to him, and then... forget it, the adult will definitely not get lost in that case.

Besides, he has other things to do now than Baiji...

Hua Po stood there for a while before leaving. Before leaving, he subconsciously looked up at the office building. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt as if he saw Shouguang - she was holding a teacup and smiling at him, and there seemed to be a dark shadow next to her, which was not clear.

Is it an illusion?

-

"noob."

The man stood on the open-air balcony, the breeze gently caressing the ends of his hair. He behaved in a gentle and graceful manner, yet also had an extraordinary aura.

All creatures that approached him could feel an indescribable sense of oppression and fear around him.

The closer the distance, the stronger the sense of oppression, and you may even feel like you are near death.

At first he couldn't control it, nor did he want to. It was only after he scared Baiji so much that he turned back into his original form every time that he began to restrain himself.

But he only does this to Bletilla striata, so normally no creature except Bletilla striata would want to get too close to him.

Almost as soon as they sense something is wrong, they will quickly distance themselves from it. This is also an instinctive reaction of living things, to avoid danger.

"You knew I would come to find you." Baiji stood in the house. The weather was very good that day, and the places indoors where the sunlight could not reach seemed to be darker than usual.

Baiji's entire body was in shadow, forming a sharp contrast with Di Lin, who was able to smile so beautifully under the scorching sun, both in terms of mood and expression.

"Of course, I have been waiting for Xiaobai all this time."

The open-air balcony is not small, with tables and chairs on one side, and brewed tea on them.

"Would you like some chrysanthemum tea?" Di Lin pulled out a chair and invited Baiji to sit down.

Baiji did not refuse, and walked over and sat down naturally. She was in a bad mood, because she had to talk to Di Lin about the deal with Shouguang. Was this a case of acting first and asking for permission later? But she was not afraid of Di Lin's criticism, and she did not say anything she shouldn't have...

And then there’s…

Di Lin likes to drink tea, but because he is not a human being, he does not care about the etiquette and rules of tea. In order to make his "beloved daughter" drink well, he just fills the teacup.

"Thank you, I don't want to drink anymore. Is tea the only thing we have?" Baiji pushed away the teacup handed to him by Dilin.

"It's almost like that. After all, this is how humans are, and we are now living in the human kingdom." Di Lin put down the teapot and sat opposite Baiji.

"Then you should learn about tea... Uh no, just pretend I didn't say anything." Bai Ji looked up and met Di Lin's smiling face, so he quickly turned his head and looked away.

"Xiaobai, I know everything. It's okay. Besides, Xiaobai is managing the situation very well."

Baiji felt even more uncomfortable. She suddenly thought of the last words Shouguang said to her.

Wouldn’t it be tiring to pretend to be a good kid all the time?

Baiji: "Ha, of course I know you know everything, I am, ah no..."

Baiji: “…”

Di Lin did not touch the teacup. Seeing Bai Ji was awkward and didn't know what to say, he took out a long wine pot from somewhere and said, "If Xiao Bai doesn't like the chrysanthemum tea that can clear heat, I have some spiritual wine that can clear heat."

"…This is not about wine and tea." Baiji opened his mouth, and his hands under the table subconsciously clasped and rubbed together.

"You dote on me."

"Huh? Did you just realize that?"

"No, I mean, aren't you afraid that if you pamper me so much, I will take advantage of it and become arrogant, and then become a terrible person?"

Di Lin was stunned, but immediately laughed.

"Don't laugh! My question is very serious! No, stop laughing like that, stop laughing!" Baiji's face turned red. She could feel the heat on her face without even looking.

"Sorry, Xiaobai, I just think your question is both cute and funny." Di Lin supported his face with one hand, the smile on his face had not completely faded, and he looked very charming.

Can we use the word "charming" here?

Bai Ji frowned and used his spiritual power to suppress the heat on his face, "Okay, okay, it turns out to be funny." Otherwise, Di Lin, who never showed his emotions, would not have laughed like this.

No, he just didn't tell anyone else.

Is she special again? Tsk, now it seems that she has so many special features.

"Xiaobai, what do you think is a bad guy?"

"I don't know. No, maybe it's like that god? And Shouguang today, she did so many ridiculous things just for the sake of experiment. And there's also Xianxian, and that Skull Gardenia..."

"Xiao Bai's enemies are all terrible guys."

Baiji: “Uh…yes.” It seems that it is indeed quite targeted.

"So, Xiaobai, how do you feel about yourself now?"

"I don't know." Baiji lowered his head slightly, "Maybe he's a bad guy? Anyway, I know I'm definitely not a good person."

——Aren’t you tired of pretending to be a good child?

His fingertips twitched twice subconsciously, but this time the abnormality passed so quickly that Baiji even ignored it.

"Based on common sense, and without any selfish motives, Xiaobai is indeed not a good person. But at least Xiaobai has self-awareness, right?"

Baiji:……

"What is that? A compliment?"

“It’s a compliment.”

Di Lin tilted his head slightly and said, "To be frank, Xiaobai is a terrible guy now. I didn't raise you well in the first place."

"…Because you spoil the child too much. This is all your fault."

"Xiao Bai's current situation is very bad."

"Feel sorry."

Baiji left her seat and sat on the ground next to Di Lin, resting her head gently on Di Lin's legs, just like she did when she was a cub.

"I'm just... a little confused lately. I don't really care what kind of guy I am."

The sun was not so hot at this time, and the sunlight fell on the two people, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the light was mottled.

"I suddenly don't know what I want to do. I'm not doing anything, but I'm very tired and can't muster up the energy... I feel like there's no future. Why am I still alive?"

"Am I like this because life is too tiring? Is it because it's not going as I expected, or is it because I have no goals in life? Or maybe everything is just me being pretentious."

"But what kind of life do I expect? If I could really do whatever I want...what would I want to do?"

"Hug me, Di Lin."

You are my father, you are my mother, you are the non-blood relative who raised me.
