then……

【Huanlong's Affection Level: 126】

Huanlong's gaze returned to Liu Bai, but her expression seemed even colder.

Possessing a self-destructing being, and coexisting with the self-destructing being?

You might as well just let her draw her sword and kill me.

Liu Bai awkwardly looked away.

Okay, that's a pretty inhumane suggestion.

Self-destructors, which are very close to nothingness, are inherently immune to some evil tricks and fancy tricks.

—Or rather, people with weird and flashy appearances wouldn't go near this kind of thing.

"Then...me?" Bai Dairu Huanlong pondered seriously for a moment.

Very helpless.

I'm so frustrated.

It seems... no one but myself can restrain Huanlong.

If Huanlong were to act recklessly and create a fait accompli, Liu Bai would be truly helpless.

However, if you were to adopt Huanlong's perspective and have the body possessing you, Huanlong would be so evil that he wouldn't dare to live.

Although Liu Bai could not completely simulate Huanlong's thoughts, he still had a general understanding of Huanlong.

In short, they are afraid of death and insecure, but they are not crazy and would never do anything reckless.

—The intimidating power emanating from oneself, the command of the Star God, the Yellow Springs, and the Flying Sky.

“…Liu Bai?” Huang Quan frowned slightly upon hearing Liu Bai’s suggestion.

"Oh...are you serious?"

Huanlong finally "faced" Liu Bai in a real sense.

Huanlong was surprised, but quickly realized what was happening.

Liu Bai was certain that she wouldn't dare do anything to her.

Even from a rational perspective, this is quite audacious.

What is the highest level of possession?

The person whose body has been possessed is unaware that they have been possessed.

Is it ignorance of the methods used to command...?

……No.

The ethereal fingers, now slightly tangible, savored the emotions emanating from Liu Bai and tapped the table twice.

The previously chaotic taste turned into plain water.

No, it should be called a "secluded pool".

...This is purely a matter of absolute rationality.

So rationally, there's no need to analyze her methods anymore.

I was rationally certain that I would never lay a hand on him.

"..."

madman.

When rationality reaches this level, in a sense, this man is the real madman.

Chapter 361 Raising a Tail Granny Today

The key question for Huanlong isn't what to use as a body to die, but rather, how to ensure that Huanlong doesn't cause trouble.

Liu Bai believed that there were many wise men among his own people who, if well prepared, could rival Huanlong.

But the problem is that this group of people needs to be prepared.

There are too many high-quality people in our own group. People like Lin Yun probably wouldn't even look at him now. If a wicked thought arises, he could split off a thought and possess someone…

After all, in Huanlong's mind, as long as he, the person who was handpicked, gives him face, whether others give him face or not depends on his mood.

If I actually let those people out, some things might not go as planned.

Why are traitors hated? It's because before they are exposed, everyone treats them as one of their own, and they do everything without hiding anything from them.

Liu Bai didn't want to see a meeting one day where, halfway through, everyone would be laughing while simultaneously twisting their necks at a 90-degree angle.

There are no strong restrictions now, and there's no time to create them.

What if we simply consider Huanlong as an enemy?

Um... Generally speaking, this kind of operation is something that villains in various works would do to make you lose your mind.

Moreover, this is somewhat disrespectful to Suiyang, who can sense emotions—Suiyang doesn't judge people by their outward appearance when sensing emotions.

Although Huanlong suffered setbacks in the story, it doesn't mean he was bad at planning. Treating people like fools shows how much you look down on the Great Lord Jue Mie.

Moreover, Suiyang has another fatal flaw—if Huanlong can't stay there any longer, he can simply run into the universe.

Yeah, their abilities have been nerfed, they can't travel across the stars anymore, but what does that have to do with me, the Protoss?! Do you even know what a Protoss is?

If things fall apart, Liu Bai's side will essentially be going to war with an immortal super-ruler.

So Liu Bai pondered for a moment.

Alright, I'm not comfortable sending you out on your own, you should stay by my side.

I can't give you my physical body, but I can give you a sense of security through my identity.

Liu Bai is currently preparing to draw a red line regarding the matter of his body, emphasizing that even if he risks his life, he cannot give you his body now.

"So, Huanlong, how about it?"

"..."

What can Huanlong do?

Everyone's smart enough not to be fooled. Even if Huanlong can't sense Liu Bai's emotions right now, he can roughly guess what Liu Bai is thinking.

I have to admit... Huanlong does have a similar idea.

However, she wouldn't directly touch people around Liu Bai, but would first touch ordinary people, and then proceed step by step—after all, one body isn't enough for her to wreak havoc.

For example, the body she wants most right now is that of the Immortal Boat General. Although it doesn't have immortality, it does have some abundance and is strong enough.

Liu Bai gave her a slight nod today, and she dared to start setting up her schemes. From a purely pragmatic point of view, she had taken over that woman's body... no, most of the people here would probably be even stronger.

...On the contrary, Huanlong is not interested in self-destructive beings like Huang Quan, who may perish at any time upon returning to the universe, no matter how powerful they are.

What? Huanlong didn't guess that Liu Bai's background was powerful enough that even the Star God had to give him face?

Stop joking. Huanlong isn't a one-dimensional thinker; she also has experience "playing chess."

To put it another way, since Liu Bai is now with her, they're probably just two different pieces on a chessboard. Liu Bai is the king, and she's either the queen or a rook.

Huanlong was being lenient because she was afraid of disrupting the chessboard that all the big shots had worked together to create. If she ruined the good situation, Nanuk would probably be the first to send her to her death after she got out.

But if she makes a good situation even better—say, by filling the board with rooks and then the king goes mad—is that a problem for the player?

Hmm...maybe. After all, Liu Bai might be an agent chosen by some Star God. But if such a grand scheme has already filled in the messenger, as long as they win, would the Star God care about an ordinary person with high position and power in a company?

Not to mention that destruction and preservation are inherently opposed.

She didn't retaliate because of Liu Bai's status as "King" and the guard next to him who was suspected of being "Queen"—after all, she would sometimes choose someone to be the king in games, then incite people to kill the "king" themselves, and then regretfully destroy their civilization.

—Of course, she wouldn't give the game to the Queen.

This also shows how much the big shots care, it seems even the void has entered the game.

The king is safe.

But if Liu Bai were to refuse to give her any leeway and allow her to continue in her current state, she wouldn't be a good girl. At worst, she would secretly scramble to avoid touching people from a distance.

In any case, from the perspective of playing chess, she is undoubtedly expanding her combat power. Before Liu Bai showed his crazy side, Huanlong's idea was to only listen to what was agreeable, and respect was superficial.

Her only fear was that, as it stood, the game was ridiculously simple, yet it seemed fraught with danger.

However, now that Liu Bai has clearly stated the facts and offered himself up as bait, even revealing his madness, there's nothing wrong with him. He's also given a deterrent. If she tries anything more now, it would be ungrateful. Taking a step back and making things work for everyone becomes an option.

"...Then let's do it this way." After briefly weighing the pros and cons, Huanlong nodded in agreement.

Although Liu Bai restricted her, he also gave her a sense of security. No matter how you look at it, she didn't lose out.

I've saved face and substance for myself; this deal is acceptable.

As for the body... it's not impossible to rearrange it when we return to the universe later—after realizing that Liu Bai was also a madman, Huanlong decisively abandoned even the idea of ​​regaining trust.

Don't get too close to crazy people when you have nothing better to do.

Incidentally, given the current situation, Huanlong would agree to anything Liu Bai said in order to be a good pawn—after all, Huang Quan looked displeased.

It's hard to say what they might be doing behind the scenes.

Liu Bai had a slight advantage in the negotiations, but it wasn't very obvious, so the conditions he offered were mainly to appease Huanlong and prevent her from causing trouble afterward.

Well, actually, one of these two people has an external cheating strategy, and the other has a grand strategy.

This led to one person not considering the context of the situation, and the other not considering complete betrayal.

"Which part of your body do you want me to possess?"

"Any part is fine?"

Liu Bai seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became somewhat strange.

Huanlong sensed Liu Bai's emotions stirring again, but now with a slightly foul odor, and his expression twitched.

...What kind of "king" did those big shots choose?

"Please choose a more normal location."

Although Huanlong was not naive and had never seen a pig run before, and did not have any naive girlish feelings, she still felt it was better to stay away from people like Liu Bai.

"And my 'size' might be relatively large..."

...Although she was thinking of staying away, Huanlong couldn't help but retort to Liu Bai.

Mine is huge, your thing can't fit it!

"Then the only option left is the whole body, right?"

"..."

Don't talk like that part of your body is the biggest!

All of these were genuine emotional fluctuations.

It's rare to see someone change their attitude so quickly... but can you please stop feeding her these emotions?

Huanlong felt that she would probably never feel hungry again...

Huanlong felt a long-lost sense of helpless sorrow.

The next moment, the illusory light entered Liu Bai's body.

[Gained the status of being possessed by the Sun]

[Power can be borrowed from Suiyang Huanlong]

Based on the strength of the year's energy and the physical and mental strength, the current base increase is: all attributes +2 (without exceeding the limit)

[The maximum boost is: All attributes +3 (can be exceeded)]

[Note: Excessive increases may lead to mental damage.]

(...Upon closer inspection, you're a monster too.)

The voice that echoed in Liu Bai's mind was tinged with a hint of amazement.

She knew Liu Bai's physical fitness was good, but she didn't expect that this person's physical fitness was built up without any special effects.

Well... in Liu Bai's current situation, some noobs can't beat him with their bare fists if they don't use any special effects.
