Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 58 Why don't you just kill me?
……

"Great Elder, do you think Xiaoxue can control this kid?"

After picking up Xuanming, Qian Renxue and her group left, and Bibi Dong didn't linger to waste any more time.

“Impossible,” Qian Daoliu said.

Golden Crocodile was taken aback, "Then why..."

“Control is impossible, but there is still hope in other ways,” Qian Daoliu said.

"Another method?" Golden Crocodile looked puzzled.

"what way?"

"How did Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School manage to win over Chen Xin of the Seven Kill Sword?" Qian Daoliu asked.

“This…” Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned slightly.

"That's probably not very likely either."

He knew Qian Renxue's personality well; she was arrogant and looked down on everyone, so it was unlikely that she could open up to this kid.

……

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

The carriage had been traveling for a long time, but Qian Renxue and Xuan Ming inside had not exchanged any words since they got in.

Finally, Qian Renxue couldn't hold back any longer.

"What do you want to ask?" Xuanming opened his eyes, touched the bump on his forehead, which was much smaller than before.

"I'm asking you what you need to do next," Qian Renxue said.

“If you want me to do something, you will tell me. If you don’t, it means you don’t want me to know,” Xuanming said.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Qian Renxue's eye twitched slightly. "You weren't this sensible before, were you?"

"Actually, he's just immature, only a little afraid of death," Xuanming said.

Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes. "Afraid of death? Why weren't you afraid before?"

When we were on the mountain, she would say one thing and he would retort with another!
They're completely reckless!
Later, he even went so far as to fight her to the death using his martial soul!

Is this what you call being afraid of death?

“I was afraid, but I was forced into a corner,” Xuanming said.

"Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone someone who isn't a rabbit."

“I understand that you’ve been tormenting me one after another, since you haven’t treated me like a human being. But later, I realized that you didn’t even treat me like a dog.”

"They were putting on airs and giving me handouts, as if even glancing at me or saying a word to me would be a great favor to me."

"You talk to me about the fate of all people, hitting me with a big stick without giving me a chance to catch my breath, while drawing up a pie in the sky that has nothing to do with me, and you still think I should kneel down and lick your boots."

"Even dog trainers know that you have to give a treat after you hit a dog, what about you?"

"Making empty promises is one thing, but what's with all this talk about the fate of the world? What does that have to do with me?"

"Moreover, a group of human traffickers who have been kidnapping me are spouting righteousness and morality and talking about the common people. Don't you find that ridiculous?"

"What's even more ridiculous is that I was a dying man at the time, and you wasted so much time talking to me, actually asking me to worry about the suffering of the common people?"

"Are you crazy or am I?"

"..."

Qian Renxue remained silent, speechless.

The Serpent Spear Douluo outside the car was also starting to lose his composure.

This is just treating people like idiots and trying to fool them!
"And... now?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Do you want to hear the truth, or something pleasant to hear?" Xuanming asked.

Qian Renxue paused, then said, "The truth."

"Don't say what you shouldn't say," Xuanming said.

"you said."

Qian Renxue was speechless for a moment, "Then what about the nice ones?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know how," Xuanming said.

"..." Qian Renxue.

Anyway, you're just not going to say, right?

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, "There was some misunderstanding about what happened before..."

"..."

Xuanming remained silent, listening quietly to Qian Renxue's explanation without interrupting or responding. He seemed to be listening, yet it was as if he hadn't heard at all.

"Can you give me some kind of response?" Qian Renxue said.

"What reaction?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"You don't believe me?" Qian Renxue asked.

“I believe you,” Xuanming said.

“No, you don’t believe me,” Qian Renxue said firmly.

“Fine, I don’t believe it,” Xuanming said.

“But that’s the truth,” Qian Renxue said.

"..."

Xuanming took a deep breath. "Then please tell me, should I believe it or not?"

"Do you want me to believe you, or not?"

“I want you to believe me, but not just to agree verbally,” Qian Renxue said.

"How do you know I don't believe you?" Xuanming asked in return.

“I can tell you don’t believe me,” Qian Renxue said.

"..."

"Did the Pope say something to you?" Qian Renxue asked suspiciously.

"Listen to me, it's really not what you think. My grandfather and the others were tricked by the Pope." Xuanming sighed. "Can I speak?"

“I didn’t mean to stop you from speaking,” Qian Renxue said.

"I'd like to ask, what do you need?" Xuanming asked.

"What do you want from me?"

“I want you to believe what I’m saying,” Qian Renxue said.

"Believe?" Xuanming paused.

"Excuse my bluntness, but if you want me to believe you, it should be that you are worthy of my trust, not that you demand that I believe you."

"Why am I not worthy of your trust?" Qian Renxue asked.

"Do you really think the Pope is someone you can trust? Don't forget, it was she who had Yue Guan kidnap you from Sunset Forest."

“First of all, we’re talking about you now,” Xuanming said.

"Secondly, when did I ever believe in the Pope?"

“You don’t believe me, isn’t it because of the Pope?” Qian Renxue said.

Xuanming took a deep breath. "If I said that she never mentioned you to me, nor did she say anything provocative, would you believe me?"

"How is this possible?" Qian Renxue didn't believe it at all.

“I never showed you any ill will. In fact, I was only trying to help you from the beginning. If it weren’t for what she said, why would you have no trust in me at all?”

"..."

Xuanming did not respond; he had given up.

He had never understood why Qian Daoliu, Jin E, and Qian Renxue all subconsciously treated him like a fool!
He felt that whatever they said, no matter how ridiculous or unreasonable, he should believe and be grateful to do as they said.

Now he understands: they didn't think he was a fool; they just felt that's how it should be.

What they say is what should be!
Similarly, Qian Renxue would not listen to him, nor did she want to hear him speak.

She just wanted him to obey her.

His arrogant and stubborn views are just like those stupid bosses he encountered when he worked for others!
They never cared about right or wrong, only whether he obeyed.

Those idiots think that since they've paid money, they should accept whatever others say as a matter of course, working like beasts of burden without complaint.

Qian Renxue feels the same way now. She thinks she is doing this for his own good, so no matter what she says or does, he should be grateful and believe and accept it.

Qian Renxue wasn't communicating with him; she was simply giving him instructions.

She first established her own absolutely correct position, so when she issued an order but did not get the desired result, she would only think that the person who received the order had a problem.

She only wants the result she desires.

"What's wrong with you?" Qian Renxue asked, looking at Xuan Ming who was bowing his head and remaining silent.

“I’m thinking about dying,” Xuanming said.

Qian Renxue was taken aback. "Why?"

Xuanming took a deep breath. "Why don't you just kill me already?"

Qian Renxue frowned slightly, "When did I..."

"Cough cough!" Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't stand it anymore.

Qian Renxue did not mean any harm to this kid, but she only considered things from her own perspective and did not take into account what he had been through.

She's been talking to herself the whole time; she's too impatient.

Qian Renxue isn't usually this impatient.

“I just want to say, don’t blindly believe the Pope’s words,” Qian Renxue said.

"Should we have trusted you so easily?" Xuanming asked.

"I really don't understand. If you just want to use me, then you only need to offer enough benefits and give me instructions. Even if you don't offer anything, I have no right to refuse and I still have to do it. Why are you torturing me like this?"

Qian Renxue was a little anxious, "I didn't mean to use you, I..."

"Then what do you want to do?" Xuanming asked, puzzled.

"At least the Pope, when trying to win people over, would care whether I live or die. Even if she's faking it, at least she's pretending."

"And you? You can't even be bothered to pretend."

“From beginning to end, he didn’t say a single word of concern. He just started questioning and doubting me, as if he was trying to drive me to my death.”

"You even said that everyone else has ulterior motives towards me, but only you are sincere towards me?"

"Is your true intention to push me to my death?"

"Do you even consider me a human being? You can't train a dog like that!"

You can't believe it, and you can't not believe it!

If you stick your head out, you will get a knife; if you keep your head down, you will get a knife too!

"I... that's not what I meant." Qian Renxue felt a little guilty.

Xuanming had been in Wuhun City for two months, spending most of her time in the Papal Palace. She was really worried that the woman had instilled something in him.

If she doesn't clear up the misunderstanding soon, will Xuanming still listen to her in the future?
"Are you... alright?" Qian Renxue tentatively reached out and touched the bump on Xuanming's forehead.

Xuanming frowned. "Why don't you just kill me?"

"What did I do now?" Qian Renxue said indignantly.

"This is such a big lump, I don't even dare to touch it myself, it hurts so much, and you just reach out and press it?" Xuanming felt like he was about to collapse.

If he had to face this kind of forced PUA every day after arriving in Tiandou City, wouldn't he go crazy?

"Then... shall I blow it for you?" Qian Renxue asked tentatively.

"..." Xuanming.

"Can I calm down?"

Qian Renxue sat down next to her. "Calm down, I'll blow on it for you, and it will stop hurting."

"Need not……"

"do not move!"

"..."
