"I'll warn you one last time, leave now, and no one will get hurt."
"Otherwise, you might... all die!"
Xiao Bai took a deep breath and assumed a fighting stance.
Although it was a fighting stance, he could only use one hand, as the other was wrapped in bandages and pressed against his chest.
So overall, it looked somewhat comical.
"Heh, Yan Qingwu, where did you find this top-notch monkey?"
"You say we'll all die? Pfft! I want to see whether your fists are harder or my axe!"
The leading burly man was so angry he laughed, spitting on the ground viciously.
"Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit! Seeking death!"
Xiao Bai was not to be outdone and was about to throw a punch.
He had already targeted the vital acupoints on the opponent's body, determined to incapacitate the enemy with one blow!
As a helpful villain, Mu An naturally wouldn't let the opponent come "lightly equipped" and had to provide some good "gear" for him.
He pulled out a prop card he had obtained not long ago.
Its actual damage might not be high, but its insult level was maxed out!
—————
[Kneel and Beg for Mercy Card]: Don't ask, just know you can't win! Forces the target to kneel and beg for mercy (a blessing for those with difficulty making choices).
Plus, a package of crying and begging phrases like "please don't kill me."
Duration: half an hour.
—————
[Using [Kneel and Beg for Mercy Card], target: Xiao Bai.]
[[Kneel and Beg for Mercy Card] used successfully! Now in effect...]
Just as Xiao Bai was about to throw a punch, his body trembled, and an inexplicable impulse surged within him.
What impulse?
Naturally, the impulse to kneel and beg for mercy from the enemy!
'No way? Why am I suddenly thinking of kneeling to the other party?'
'Why should I? I am the proud heir of a divine doctor, and even if the sky falls, I would never kneel to such ants...'
With a thud, Xiao Bai's knees suddenly hit the ground.
Due to the force, he shattered several tiles on the floor!
This bizarre action left the members of the Tiger Gang dumbfounded.
Just a second ago, he was acting all tough, giving off the vibe that "squashing you is like squashing ants."
But the next second, he just knelt down?
Is surrendering supposed to be this quick?
Xiao Bai's face turned pale, his eyes wide open.
He was equally shocked that he had actually knelt down, momentarily ignoring the pain in his knees.
Of course, there was something even more shocking to come.
At that moment, a heartfelt plea for mercy involuntarily burst from his mouth.
"Woo woo woo, I surrender! Please... please don't kill me!"
"Brothers, just treat what I said earlier as nonsense! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted tough!"
"Please don't kill me, I'm still just a child of over two hundred months..."
Who wouldn't be confused by such a tearful expression?
At least, it left the leading burly man bewildered, momentarily thinking he had done something heinous.
Even Yan Qingwu's eyelids twitched, wishing she could find someone to kill this embarrassing guy on the spot.
She had thought Xiao Bai had some hidden cards and was ready to make a big move.
But instead, he knelt down and begged for mercy, crying his heart out, which was equivalent to pulling off a big show of embarrassment!
- [One second, I'm invincible in the world, the next second, I'm begging you not to kill me, hahaha, how can this guy be so contrasting?]
- [No way, is this it? Just surrendering? Hilarious, I can do that too! But one thing I can't learn is how he can cry so tragically, like he lost his parents; even an Oscar winner would feel ashamed!]
- [I knew I shouldn't have had any expectations for this guy; whether it was swimming or drinking, it's the same now! What an embarrassment!]
- [Hahaha, do you think in wartime, he would be the first to raise his hands and surrender?]
The audience in the live stream was laughing hysterically.
They had thought they were about to witness an intense showdown.
But unexpectedly, instead of a fierce battle, they first saw a heartfelt "one-man show" performed by Xiao Bai.
"So embarrassing! It's just too embarrassing!"
"I just can't understand why that old guy at home insists on stuffing such a top-notch character next to me as a bodyguard."
"Still a super amazing bodyguard! What can he do to protect me in his current state?"
"When I'm ready to be harmed, will he kneel down and cry, begging me not to die? That's really funny!"
Tong Ziran complained for a while, her determination to find an opportunity to 'kick out' the annoying bodyguard Xiao Bai growing stronger.
'I don't need any protection!'
'Even if I really do, having Brother Mu An to protect me is enough!'
[Due to your actions, the girl has grown even more disgusted with Xiao Bai, and her favorability towards him has plummeted.]
[Emotional fluctuation +50, congratulations, you have received the reward [Cultivation Years +8]!]
[Comparing goods, one must discard the inferior; comparing people, one can die from envy. Compared to the protagonist Xiao Bai, you are simply the perfect prince charming in the girl's heart, favorability +1+1+1+1+1...]
[Emotional fluctuation +60, congratulations, you have received the reward [Fortune +60]!]
…..
On the other side.
Xiao Bai felt like he was about to go crazy.
'What the hell! Is this some kind of supernatural event?'
Making such a humiliating display in public, if he could, he would really want to live on another planet.
More importantly, he was horrified to discover that he couldn't control his own body.
He couldn't stop crying, couldn't stand up again... it was as if an invisible hand was hanging over his head.
And he was like a puppet being manipulated by others!
This feeling... was it similar to when he saved someone while swimming earlier?
In a moment of chilling realization, Xiao Bai seemed to uncover some truth and couldn't help but look at the man beside him, who had a faint smile on his lips.
'It's him! It must be him! Everything is his setup!'
'This guy is about the same age as me, his strength and realm can't be much stronger than mine, he can't make me completely unable to resist!'
'So, it must be a powerful old monster behind him messing with me!'
'Damn it! How despicable! If you have the ability, face me one-on-one!'
Xiao Bai's eyes seemed to spit fire as he glared at Mu An.
But his nose was still uncontrollably crying, and his mouth, now free to speak, was begging for mercy non-stop.
He had no chance to struggle, only to continue embarrassing himself.
[Xiao Bai's incredibly socially mortifying behavior has nearly ruined his reputation, and he accidentally discovered the 'truth', leading to even more hatred towards you, rationality -1-1-1-1-1... protagonist's fortune -1000, congratulations, you have received the rewards [Lifespan +2 years], [Fortune +500]!]
As for the 'truth' being accidentally uncovered by the other party, Mu An didn't think much of it.
Because in the face of absolute power, all anger and hatred are futile!
'Protagonist? Ha, just a tool for me to earn rewards!'
