Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 597 - 32: The Lone Man and Woman in the Small Woods

Tang Xian seldom experienced the state of being utterly confounded, but after waking up, he calmed down and thought for a few seconds. Then he remembered that he hadn't done anything to Ju Mang.

After being transported to this forest by the mysterious power of Bai Shuang, the tense consciousness in his heart finally relaxed. Under the effect of significant blood loss, Tang Xian remembered that he had fainted before he could explain anything.

Ju Mang had burned nearly half of her talent but still had half left, while he was useless. It didn't make sense that he could have done anything to her.

Seeing Ju Mang with her legs wrapped around his lower body, Tang Xian's face turned a bit unsightly.

He remembered a saying, "As a boy alone out in the world, take care to protect yourself."

He certainly wasn't some frail little boy, but Ju Mang wasn't any normal female either.

He gently pushed away Ju Mang, who was hugging him, and then moved her two snow-white legs off his body.

He sat up and contemplated life, with a face like someone smoking a cigarette after the fact.

"That expression of yours, it's like you've entered sage mode,"

Ju Mang's voice suddenly came through.

Tang Xian felt a bit of a headache. His physical injuries had healed, but he couldn't remember whether he had done anything or had something done to him.

Ju Mang, watching Tang Xian's awkward and constrained expression, suddenly laughed out loud,

"Don't worry, I didn't do anything to you. But you've done similar things to others before, shouldn't you also have such awareness?"

Tang Xian breathed a sigh of relief internally because indeed, there was no smell of hormonal secretion in his breath.

He didn't know what he was nervous about, after all, such matters seemingly didn't need too much care.

Tang Xian calmed down and said,

"When have I ever done such a thing to others?"

"Shang Lu ah, wasn't he also forcefully by your sister..."

"Stop!"

Rubbing his temples, Tang Xian felt his forehead ache. Reflecting on the matter now, it seemed utterly absurd.

"So why did you get so close to me?" Tang Xian asked.

"Because you were about to die," Ju Mang looked at Tang Xian, her expression carrying a mixture of disdain and amusement.

"So your Eden bloodline isn't much stronger than ours. At least in dealing with the Orderers, you seem weaker than us."

Tang Xian didn't speak, but continued to look at Ju Mang with a questioning gaze.

Ju Mang didn't hide anything and said,

"You saved my life, so I saved yours. In the end, when we were fleeing, you didn't have to have that white deer save me, but you still took the time to do so. Considering your state at the time, it was a full effort. After all, I am still human and have a heart for gratitude."

Tang Xian thought to himself, is this what you call gratitude?

You look like you're coveting my body, you're shameless.

Of course, he didn't say this out loud.

After all, he was, strictly speaking, a good man who had kept himself pure.

Even though he was already twenty-four years old.

Even though he was clearer about various aspects of knowledge than many people, because such desires are the weaknesses of many, Tang had also studied quite a bit on similar subjects.

Even though he was just a cloud gamer without personal experience, he was truly a quite studied cloud gamer.

"Exhaustive Ray is a type of radiation that can suppress the life force of living beings, containing many lethal radioactive substances. Even you can't resist it.

You were gasping for breath at the time. Although you were saved, if neglected, you would still die.

That white deer was really odd, just giving you a couple of looks, kicking you with its hooves, and then ignoring you."

Tang Xian hadn't expected this part. Then he thought that he probably wouldn't have been able to persuade the white deer to save Ju Mang.

In Bai Shuang's view, to save or not to save is all up to me; why should anything concern me?

The reason for saving Ju Mang was probably out of annoyance, and so it was more convenient to save Ju Mang while at it, thinking of her as a health potion?

This was, of course, speculation, but Tang Xian felt that given the deer's laziness and its laissez-faire nature, it was entirely possible.

He shook his head and said,

"I feel like I've recovered quite a lot."

"Plants can continuously provide me with life force. In Origin and the Eyes of Nature, I used a similar method to inject life force into many test subjects.

This place is teeming with the essence of life, and the vegetation has grown for a long time. Here, my power becomes stronger, which is how I could bring you back from death's door, although it consumed a lot of the plants."

Ju Mang's expression was still calm. Tang Xian looked into Ju Mang's eyes and said,

"So it had to be in that position?"

"I just like to hold onto something when I sleep, I was only using you as a pillow."

That explanation was somewhat reasonable. Tang Xian nodded and said,

"You don't owe me anymore."

"That's right."

"And we only share a common enemy; we're not even part of a community of shared interests, and we have no emotional foundation."

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm saying that I indeed am not used to being too close to others, so this incident was an accident. It's best if neither of us brings it up again."

Tang Xian, in fact, also knew this was a minor issue, but he felt inexplicably anxious.

Ju Mang said in an annoyed tone,

"I'm not interested in you."

"Then that's a relief."

The two children of order fell silent.

The sky was dull; there had been a solar eclipse today, although it was already over.

After the eclipse, the sky didn't seem very bright.

The animals were also cautious. On the branches of distant trees, two small squirrels were watching Tang Xian and Ju Mang.
