CHAPTER 588: CHAPTER 404: I DIDN’T EXPECT YOU TO BE SUCH A PERSON! (4600-WORD MEGA CHAPTER!)

"What?!!!"

Zeng Tao’s mouth was wide open, and she was completely stunned.

Thinking it herself was one thing, but hearing Xu Xin admit it was another.

"When did your abilities recover?" Xu Xin asked casually, while observing the pterosaur statue and the treehouse.

"Still three or four hours... What... What do you want by asking this?"

She subconsciously answered, then immediately realized.

Her gaze toward Xu Xin became incredibly complicated, and she was instantly engulfed in a whirlwind of chaotic thoughts.

She felt like her mind was bombarded with so much information all at once, it was about to explode.

That guy, he’s really not Yan Haoming!

He’s really not Yan Haoming at all!

Her previous feelings were not wrong.

She always knew that freak Yan Haoming could never look like this.

How could he possibly give her a feeling of closeness?

Turns out she wasn’t judging by appearances!

But this person... is actually Xu Xin!

This is just too outrageous!

No, maybe it’s not that outrageous...

She initially agreed to Lou Fei’Er’s invitation to come here partly because it was close to Xu Xin’s treehouse!

However...

Her current situation completely feels like she has been captured...

Everything happened so suddenly, she was completely unprepared.

Just a moment ago, she was immersed in the excitement and joy of possibly obtaining a super powerful weapon, and the next she became a prisoner.

Oh right, Lou Fei’Er!

She quickly turned around, looking at Lou Fei’Er who was supporting her.

"You...! You lied to me! You’ve been lying to me all along!" Zeng Tao stood straight immediately, glaring angrily at Lou Fei’Er.

Flames almost seemed to burst from her eyes.

Thinking back, almost everything this woman said to her was a lie!

She stared at Lou Fei’Er intensely, not daring to look back at Xu Xin.

She was masking her current embarrassment.

After all, she had no idea how to interact now with Xu Xin, who had revealed his identity.

Thinking about all those things she discussed in front of him...

Ahhhhhhh!!

This is just so embarrassing!!

I’m going crazy!

It’s all Lou Fei’Er’s fault for tricking me into coming here!

"Oh well, not everything was fake."

Having laid it all out, her attitude changed, and she showed a somewhat lazy smile.

"What I told you guys about my own things was pretty much true," she pulled lightly on her collar, revealing a piece of pale skin laced with blood veins to Zeng Tao, "You’ve seen the blood veins on my body, I didn’t lie to you about my own affairs."

"You... you... you!" Zeng Tao’s face turned red with anger again immediately.

This Lou Fei’Er did it on purpose!

She definitely did it on purpose!

Why show that part to her!

Thinking she doesn’t have it!

Well indeed, she doesn’t...

"Oh, so it’s the truth disguised as lies, and lies disguised as the truth?" Qin Fu, standing by, had a realization.

"Honestly, before coming here, I pretty much believed what you said, except for the part about your relationship with Xu Xin."

"However, I thought you might have just reached some mutual non-aggression agreement with Xu Xin, truly didn’t expect, really didn’t expect you two to appear together and be so close."

When he thought of this possibility, waves surged in his heart, although it didn’t show on his face.

"I say, she’s been beguiled by a man, used as a pawn!" Zeng Tao continued to glare at her fiercely.

Lou Fei’Er had given a good feeling all along, but thinking back, every scenario where her goodwill increased was staged by her and Xu Xin!

She was truly played around like a fool!

So livid!

"Then what do you think I should do?" Lou Fei’Er asked Zeng Tao, "If you were in my position..."

She pointed to the patch of green several kilometers away, "If you were this close to his treehouse, how would you choose?"

"I..." Zeng Tao was speechless for a moment.

The initial treehouse locations, once planted, are fixed.

With the protection zones connected, boundaries opened, it’s so easy to go to a fixed treehouse several kilometers away.

Unless she cuts down her own treehouse and runs with the treehouse seed, it’s basically impossible to resist such a powerful neighbor.

But if she cuts down the treehouse...

It would be better to join this strongest neighbor directly.

Her choice is understandable...

She hasn’t experienced having a powerful neighbor.

Because she doesn’t have any neighbors at all.

Her treehouse is planted in a very barren area.

The treehouse itself is a low, small one.

The surrounding resources are very scarce, and most importantly...

The people around her from District 188 were all wiped out before the protection zone expanded.

Which is normal, after all, 70% of District 188 died, and she’s the unfortunate one whose surrounding District 188 people all died.

So all the treehouses around, after the protection zone expanded, did not connect with her treehouse’s protection zone.

Meaning she’s trapped in her own protection zone, unable to get out!

There might be a resource area within her protection zone, but she can’t find it.

Because the area is too big.

That’s why she’s always been so poor.

This is her first long journey.
