Chapter 631: Winning Over the Rebels

This hug, right in front of Xue Hanlei, shocked her for a hundred years. With her understanding and intelligence, she couldn’t comprehend what had happened in this brief silence that made the second-grade heroic spirit lose control.

Bai Wei, on the other hand, acted very naturally.

What exactly did you do?

Did I miss something?

Did you secretly use the Crimson King to manipulate time?

What kind of ability is this, that could make a heroic spirit come over to hug like this in just one move? So terrifying, so terrifying!

Xue Hanlei’s shoulders shook. At this moment, she couldn’t help but start to question the rationality of the world’s existence. Does the weak aura and the aura of domination really exist? Her body trembled, and she felt like she might go into heat right then and there.

Wait, could it be that I also…

Bai Wei gently touched Xia Longque’s shoulder, "Okay, enough reminiscing, let’s consider moving to a different place."

Xia Longque calmed down a bit, nodded, but still held onto Bai Wei’s wrist firmly, and said softly, "Don’t try to run away."

"Do I have anywhere to run?" Bai Wei asked helplessly.

"Hmm," heroic spirit hummed lightly, turned around to go downstairs to pay the bill and compensate for the table.

After Xia Longque left, Xue Hanlei couldn’t relax either. She nudged Bai Wei and asked cautiously, "Did you use some kind of hypnosis on her? Or are you actually a nightmare for men?"

Bai Wei, "Yes."

"I knew it!"

"Yeah, right." Bai Wei raised his hand as if to hit her, "If I were, one touch from me, and you’d be flying straight to Kokonohana to heaven."

Xue Hanlei shrunk back, "I don’t believe you."

"The mystery of the second-grade heroic spirit is very high, almost no magic or external things can affect her. Besides, she is a soldier, meaning… she must have undergone various experiments for drug resistance, using the body of the second-grade heroic spirit to withstand different drug stimulations. Even addictive drugs have been overcome by her body and mind to build resistance through intake and tolerance."

Bai Wei said. Any means you can think of cannot disturb her.

The soul strength of the heroic spirit is too high, and the mystery raises the transformation of her body.

So it’s always said that the heroic spirit is not considered human. They may look similar on the outside, but that’s just surface level. Are Kryptonians humans? Maybe in a way, but definitely not Earthlings. At most, they can be considered spiritual Earthlings, like the ones living next door to Superman.

Xue Hanlei understood. So you’re controlling her thoughts through means I wouldn’t have thought of?

Bai Wei: …

Xue Hanlei exclaimed. I guessed it!

Bai Wei pondered the exclamation point he mentally placed, his expression subtle, "Yes, but not entirely… because I didn’t control her thoughts, everything she does is of her own accord."

"Who would believe that, she even came up to hug me, she…" Xue Hanlei realized her voice was too loud and hurriedly lowered it, saying, "She clearly had a look of Lady Meng Jiang waiting for her husband on her face."

"Is it possible that it’s not her husband but her real father?" Bai Wei raised an eyebrow.

"Her last name isn’t Bai, you’re making up excuses or making up something similar."

Bai Wei knew he couldn’t explain everything to Xue Hanlei in a short time, but that was okay. He didn’t plan to explain their past too clearly. Their past was a secret that wouldn’t be known by a third person.

"Think what you want, I’m not obligated to explain everything too clearly to you." Bai Wei stood up, patting his knee. "Don’t forget, we still have our upcoming journey to take. With the help of the heroic spirit now, it will be smooth sailing."

Xue Hanlei blinked slightly, then her eyes lit up as she whispered. Wonderful!

…

Xia Longque was persuaded easily, the process was quite simple.

Pressing a light purple button made her obedient, like some magical tool of a blue chubby person… It would be nice if such a good thing really existed.

Even though Xia Longque had confirmed that Bai Wei was the master, it didn’t mean she would obey him completely.

In her past life, she was cheated so badly that she definitely remembers it clearly and holds a grudge.

The difficult part is how to persuade her next.

Three people arrived at the edge of an artificial lake in the park, where there were not many pedestrians. They cast a spell of silence to keep others away, ensuring no one noticed their presence or the potential consequences of their conversation.

Xia Longque looked serious as she stared at Bai Wei and Xue Hanlei, her gaze exerting strong pressure. Xue Hanlei swallowed nervously, realizing that the upcoming questions might leave her with no escape.

Then, she slowly and seriously raised the first question.

"How should I address you?" Xia Longque asked anxiously.

Xue Hanlei almost banged her head on the table, surprised that after so much anticipation and preparation, this was the question causing hesitation.

Bai Wei was not surprised at all. The first thing Xia Longque asked after meeting was ‘Where did the Crouching Tiger Sword come from?’ This showed that Xia Longque didn’t prioritize dedication and honor above everything like most military personnel. Almost all heroic spirits are not blindly loyal. Some heroic spirits come from different times and worlds, temporarily residing here, bound by interests or status. Unfortunately, these priorities are not considered the highest.

Xia Longque joined the army temporarily. She didn’t really care about anyone or anything. Being a heroic spirit and becoming a commander to protect the four corners was a natural thing for her. That’s why her actions were genuine at that moment. She truly didn’t think about anything else; putting the most important thing first and letting the rest follow naturally.

"Hmm, let me think." Bai Wei thought for a moment and said. We can use a different name when others are around, it’s better than what we call each other privately.

Xia Longque agreed and glanced at Xue Hanlei with a subtle look that said. Why haven’t you gone to the bathroom yet?

The dragon maiden also didn’t want to stay here, but reluctantly said. Let’s talk about the important issue, about the Crouching Tiger Sword. Major General Xia should already know about it and not have any further questions, right?

"Yes, and a lot." Xia Longque asked, resting her cheek on her hand. Is she my master’s wife?

Xue Hanlei’s tongue went numb.

"No," Bai Wei denied.

"If not, why are you helping her so much?"

"I am planning to kill the black dragon, helping her is just a side task. Plus, to solve the problem of Hongze Lake, passing through Huaishui is unavoidable." Bai Wei said calmly, "Our reunion is a pleasant surprise, turning bad news into good news. I really want to sit down and chat with you about many things, but unfortunately, reality takes precedence. I am planning to go to Huaishui."

Xia Longque sat up straight and cautiously asked. Do you want me to help you?

Bai Wei said. Yes, with your help, many of the outposts in the Ming Country become insignificant and that is very important to me.

Xia Longque asked. Do you know I am an army major, and my mission this time is to bring you back. If I get caught, I risk being accused. This means I have to choose between you and my current identity, and you want me to pick you first.

"Yes," Bai Wei nodded without hesitation.

"Is this not a negotiation?" Xia Longque lightly tapped on the table with her finger. "What benefit does this bring me? Even though the heroic spirit has high immunity, there is a high possibility of losing everything accumulated over the decades… Do you have enough confidence to solve the problem of Hongze Lake once and for all? The Dragon King is not just for show, he still holds millions of hostages."

"Isn’t solving the problem of Hongze Lake once and for all a benefit?" Bai Wei asked back, then chuckled. "But others may not believe it."

"I don’t believe it either, after all… You’re a trickster," Xia Longque grinned.

"Not this time," Bai Wei shrugged. "So, what will you do?"

"If I don’t agree, will you resort to violence again?" Xia Longque asked bluntly.

"It may not come to that, like I said before, let us go and don’t pursue us for a day."

"Let me think," she said.

"Three minutes," said Bai Wei.

"I have already decided."

"You should really think about it!" Xue Hanlei couldn’t help but comment.

Xia Longque picked up a stone and threw it into the lake, the ripples reaching a hundred meters away.

She said with her back turned. I have thought about it carefully, I will not help you without any limits.

Xue Hanlei thought to herself that negotiations were breaking down, a heroic spirit is not easily shaken.

"But I will take you to Huaishui," Xia Longque added. Is that enough?

"Okay," Bai Wei thought that was enough.

"But why?" Xue Hanlei asked in confusion, "Either help wholeheartedly or don’t help at all…"

It’s very simple," Xia Longque snapped her fingers, "I don’t think you’ll get good results, so it’s good to have a backup plan in advance.

She didn’t finish her sentence, leaving a lingering half a sentence in her heart: When you realize how difficult it is to shake Hongze, when you realize you’re outnumbered, when the master admits defeat in reality, naturally, someone needs to step in and help. That’s when I’ll appear, and generously offer all the help… At that time, the debts he owes me will be countless, and I’ll easily keep him by my side, making up for the lost time of the past life, for a lifetime… Master, I won’t be so obedient this time, it’s your own doing.
