Chapter 440: Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai

Dawns eyes lost its luster for a moment. Shi Xiaobais explanation was reasonable, but it was too simple. How could a lie that could deceive her be so simple?

As Dawn continued thinking, she immediately thought of a critical problem. She hesitated for a moment before biting her lower lip and said, Then, how do you explain the red mole under the armpit?

Shi Xiaobai said, That was just a stab in the dark. This King has obviously not seen whats under your right armpit, but have you really observed your right armpit before? A normal person would not do so, so you would not know if there is a red mole under your right armpit. Furthermore, its impossible for you to take off your top in front of everybody and raise your right hand to verify if there was a red mole under your armpit. And the information This King said before that was a fact you knew. So you took it for granted that This King had said the truth, and that This King had really observed your right armpit. At the same time, you would lose your calm line of thought due to the flustered feelings of being peeped.

Shi Xiaobai could not help but laugh. He had learned this trick only recently and he had already used it. That was because not long ago, the Infernal Queen had used this trick to deceive him. For him to be fooled with his intelligence, there was no reason for Dawn to not fall for it either.

Shi Xiaobai noticed how Dawns eyes were torpid as he chuckled, Is the reveal of the riddles a bit disappointing? Do you feel that the answer is too simple and the methods are overly normal? After it loses the package of mystery, it becomes extremely meaningless?

Typically, complicated magic would appear mysterious and profound to the audience that did not know the tricks. But once the tricks were revealed, they would realize that the principle behind it was very simple. It would result in people thinking that the magic was actually immature and meaningless.

Dawns eyes seemed lost. She was indeed having such feelings.

But was this feeling really correct?

Was that complicated magic immature and meaningless?

Were the means of lying to her to deceive her simple?

Dawn fell silent as she thought deeply. A strange look suddenly flickered in her ice-blue eyes. She slowly looked up at Shi Xiaobai and an undetectable glint flashed faintly in her eyes.

Simple? You are being humble.

Her lips that did not have any lipstick applied but remained clear and alluring suffused a faint smile for the first time. Dawn said with a smile, Being overly humble is more hateful than arrogance. The methods you mention sound simple, but its not as simple carrying it out.

Everything relied on that ridiculous confession of yours from the beginning. That ten lifetime lie had perfectly explained the confession, and laid the foundations for the perfect lies that followed. To link the lies one after another, it is not something a typical youth can think of.

You firmly used your assumption, and from that hypothesis, resolve your questions. Once you had doubts about your hypothesis, everything would fall apart, but you remained resolute. You were not gambling but playing a game of wits. Because although you are a gambler, you are certain that you would win. Your psyche far exceeds normal people.

You proficiently used several psychological techniques, and the reasoning behind the lie was very simple. However, how it was used was crucial. And be it the way you used it or the timing when you used it was nearly perfect. This is not something you could do by following textbooks.

You progressed one level after another and closed in on it. Unknowingly, you had weaved a web of lies, and at the final moment, you dealt the fatal strike. No girl can remain calm after knowing that they had been peeped and seen naked, to the point of knowing that a private spot under the armpit had been seen. I similarly couldnt do it. You realized such a simple reasoning and perfectly used it.

Furthermore, it resonated with the ten lifetimes lie. The two lies proved each other, and two wrongs made it a right, causing it to turn into reality. And all of that stemmed from that confession. The first move you made laid the best foundation for the final move. To have thought so far with such tight logic, you are very impressive.

You were able to fool me not out of coincidence or luck, but because you are smarter than others.

Shi Xiaobai was surprised when he heard her. He never expected to receive such compliments. He even felt a bit embarrassed as he involuntarily scratched his head and said with a silly laugh, You are flattering This King. For you to be able to analyze This Kings thought process in such a short period of time makes you quite an impressive person as well.

When the thirty-thousand-strong audience heard this conversation, other than having a blank mind, they had no other thought. They felt like their intelligence was fake, but when they heard the last statement, they could not help but cursethat was like shameless flattery between business partners!

The girls faint smile was like an epiphyllums fleeting bloom. It quickly disappeared. Her eyes turned calm once again as she said, Let me ask you one last time. You went through so much thought, was it so as to verify that Im a girl in disguise?

When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he hesitated for a moment before saying with a nod, Thats because we are bound to fight a life-and-death battle immediately following this. If its not you dying, it will be This King. But no matter who dies, This King will lose the chance to verify his doubt. This King does not want to leave behind any regrets or questions. On this point, This King believes that you who are suppressing your killing intent will understand the most.

Shi Xiaobai sighed in his heart. He said he would not lie, but at that moment, he had no choice but to lie. The reason why he did it was because of the Absolute Choice. It was the Absolute Choice that had forced him to make such a screwed up matter.

The confession was just too embarrassing no matter who it was said to.

But if he could turn the confession into a perfect lie, a simple scheme with a goal, it could verify the guess on his mind and also relieve the embarrassing situation. It could kill two birds with one stone, so why not?

That was the fifth path Shi Xiaobai chose. He changed the first impression of it being a crazy path to a clever path.

Dawn believed in Shi Xiaobais explanation and did not probe any further. Instead, she slowly took a step forward, and said, Then one last question, please tell me your name.

Shi Xiaobai was slightly taken aback as he suddenly felt a strange feeling of achievement. He grinned and said his name. This Kings name is Shi Xiaobai!

Shi Xiaobai.

Dawn said softly as she gave Shi Xiaobai a deep glance. Her lips trembled slightly as she said out words that seemed to come from beyond the heavens.

Goodbye forever, Shi Xiaobai.

The voice that sounded like chiming heavenly bells resounded in the air.

The girls figure had already transformed into a flash as she charged at Shi Xiaobai. The Lucifers Sword in her hand was clenched tightly as it shimmered with a resplendent golden light.

It was as though the first light of dawn had torn through the night sky.
