……

About two hours later, the deep sharing mode initiated by Leon and Macchiato disappeared.

"A ten-hour journey? Considering the fastest and slowest, I'm still in the capital."

He now has more evidence to prove that he has returned to the capital.

And it was at this moment—

With a click, the door opened.

Bai Shaqilai, carrying a six-stripe leather whip, walked in with her long, slender, white legs.

“Don’t blame me, Leon Belon, I didn’t whip you willingly.”

With a cracking sound, the whip fell to the ground.

Leon spun around to avoid her. What kind of trick was this woman up to all of a sudden?

Whipping?

"Not bad, the reaction is good. This whip is made from the fur of a sixth-order blood scorpion and a sixth-order water-devouring ape. It's covered in hard barbs. Even a sixth-order monster can't withstand one lash. Tell me honestly, what future intelligence do you know?"

A look of excitement flashed in Bai Shaqilai's eyes.

Lyon realized that while Baisa Chirai's personality seemed glamorous, she was actually quite conservative.

Wearing short skirts is just a racial custom.

So, she herself probably wasn't even aware of this excitement.

Could this guy have activated some strange attribute for some weird reason?

"Hey, everyone can have a nice chat, why resort to knives and whips?"

Leon picked up Iris and suddenly dodged away.

"Hmph, you're overthinking it, little boy. I could easily torture you to get information, why would I chat with you? I was just talking to you on a whim, don't get your position wrong! You're a prisoner who can't use magic right now!"

Bai Shaqilai's voice was charming yet cheerful, and her whipping speed was extremely fast.

"Haha, I get it."

As Leon dodged, he recalled what Bai Shaqilai had said earlier and burst into laughter:

"So, a legendary astrologer like yourself, capable of predicting the future, is being manipulated by others to do things you're not used to. I feel so sorry for you. You've developed a completely new theory of divination on your own, yet you've fallen for someone else's nonsense and are doing something that's destined to hasten your own destruction. Do you know that by doing this, you'll not only have no chance of becoming a demigod, but you won't even be able to cross the threshold of becoming an epic?"

Bai Shaqilai paused, a strange look flashing across her face.

[When the villain Bai Shaqilai's favorability reaches 20%, the panel can be unlocked.]

Chapter 368 Leon: You are the real mastermind behind the destruction of the world!

Wait, is Bai Shaqilai holding the villain panel?

In the original storyline, she was clearly just a legendary supporting actress.

Just as he was about to open the panel, Bai Shaqilai lashed out with her whip again.

Leon dodged again, but this time he couldn't dodge it. The dual-class White Shaqilai was agile enough to dodge a few moves with the help of dual-depth mode and daily combat skills, which was already the limit.

The whip was suspended before it struck Lyon.

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Did she hold back?

Did what you just said offend her?

Leon's mind raced, and he spoke:

"As a dual-professional, your second profession is only one achievement away from becoming a legend. That's why you made arrangements remotely before, trying to complete some achievements commensurate with a chess master, so as to advance to a second legend, right?"

Bai Shaqilai's eyes flickered slightly:

"Then how did they find out about my second position? I had clearly hidden my life, so there was no way they could find out."

"It's simple, because I'm a miracle astrologer."

Lyon smiled slightly and continued:

“An astrologer who can foretell miracles is worlds apart from an ordinary astrologer like yourself. Did you not believe me and dare not gamble just now because you were afraid that I would obtain more information and then reveal your core secrets?”

Bai Shaqilai was taken aback, then sneered: "As a prisoner, you are the first I have ever seen who is so arrogant. Don't forget your situation, Leon Belon."

Lyon shrugged and said:

"I don't need you to remind me of my situation, but your situation is far from pleasant. After all, what you're doing is taking you further and further away from becoming an epic. Do you know that? Not only are you getting further and further away from becoming an epic, but you're also far from achieving the achievements required to become a legend in your second profession."

"Why can't I obtain it?"

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai intentionally or unintentionally ignored her mentor's reminder that she must not listen to anything Leon said other than information.

On the one hand, she didn't believe in superstitions.

Secondly, Lyon's repeated alarmist remarks did indeed pique her interest.

Although she had serious doubts about Leon's character, she still recognized the abilities of this unusually mysterious person in the divination.

Leon raised a finger, activating his aura of trust, and began to bewitch:

"First, the profession of chess master is a rare profession that originated in ancient times, even rarer than astrologer. Your Excellency has been able to advance all the way to the sixth rank, so you must have tried some strategic achievements, and these achievements are basically related to demon-slaying and demon-suppressing achievements, right?"

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly.

This is not hard to guess. Once you understand the profession of chess master, you will know that although the combat power of this profession is weak in the early stage, the control ability is very strong.

However, because the player's rank is not high in the early stages, they cannot control the experts and can only control those one rank lower.

Those with weaker abilities can basically only accomplish the task of slaying and suppressing demons.

As for achievements such as governing the country, creating, inventing, or heroic feats, they naturally had no chance to accomplish them.

"And then?"

"Then you began your scheme targeting several kingdoms, including those of orcs and humans. The plan was that if the human and fox kingdoms were both severely weakened, or even destroyed, and the cat kingdom were restored, you would gain the title of ruler of the cat kingdom. Not only would your second profession be promoted to Legendary, but your first profession would also have a chance to be promoted to Epic! At the same time, this would also fulfill your grand goals of restoring your kingdom and seeking revenge! You thought it was a win-win-win situation. But in reality, once you truly accomplish this, what awaits you will be the destruction of the world! And you will be the true instigator of that destruction!"

Lyon gazed at Baisaqilai, his voice calm.

Based on his speculation, Bai Shaqilai viewed him as a thorn in her side and deliberately came to ambush him, probably because he had made great contributions to preventing the war of national annihilation.

There's even a high probability that, according to Bai Shaqilai's divination, her future self has already achieved success.

Otherwise, since Bai Shaqilai had always been accustomed to using intelligence and skills to remotely control the weak in order to carry out her plans, she wouldn't have had to personally intervene this time.

Bai Shaqilai was slightly surprised that Lyon had so easily guessed her purpose, then frowned: "You're exaggerating. Wars between a few short-lived nations have happened before, how could they possibly lead to the destruction of the world? What kind of cause and effect is that?"

Lyon asked, "Then can Your Excellency divine the outcome of your smooth promotion after completing your so-called 'achievements'?"

This question stumped Bai Shaqilai. Her pointed pink ears trembled slightly. After a moment of contemplation, she said:

"No astrologer can accurately predict their own future, can't they? We can only glimpse our own destiny through the futures of others!"

That's the truth.

Astrologers themselves are a huge temporal and spatial node because they can obtain information about the future, which gives them more choices than conventional powerful people and makes them more capable of changing different futures.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to divine one's future.

On the contrary, other people's futures are easier to predict because they are relatively more certain.

Lyon pointed at Bessa Chirai and said:

"This is your biggest weakness. In fact, even if you successfully destroy the human and fox kingdoms and rebuild the cat kingdom, what you will obtain is the Dark Poems, which will also taint the Legendary Poems you already possess. In your divination, you believed that I was the culprit preventing your advancement, but in reality, it is the opposite. It is precisely because of my existence that you have avoided the result of the Poems being tainted by the Dark Poems."

"What is your basis? It's all just empty talk. How can you predict the future with just a few words?"

Although what Leon said seemed to make a lot of sense, Bai Shaqilai listened to Leon with a critical eye.

Although she ignored her mentor's warning, she wasn't completely disregarding Leon; she was constantly trying to figure him out.

As a legend, she believed she had already shown enough respect for the young, handsome boy in front of her.

Yes, in her eyes, Leon, who was not yet 20 years old, was just a naive little boy.

Lyon noticed that the smile that Bai Shaqilai instinctively wore on her face was significantly less pronounced than before.

She was clearly considering that possibility as well.

"There is indeed no evidence for what will happen in the future."

Leon shrugged and said:

"However, we can use a compromise to confirm... whether Your Excellency has consulted the oracle regarding Iris's fate."

As he spoke, he nodded slightly, pointing to Iris, who had already quietly woken up and was listening to the two of them testing each other.

"Of course I've consulted the oracle."

Bai Shaqilai straightened her cat ears and snorted, "What do you want to say?"

"Then, has Your Excellency consulted the oracle, and has it been determined that Iris will become my partner, my wife?"

Lyon asked again.

Upon hearing this, Eliza blushed and lowered her head.

To ask such a question in the face of a legend who is clearly hostile is unbelievable.

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly: "This woman will indeed be one of your many wives in the future."

A mischievous smile appeared on her face. Having just been dominated by Leon, how could she not retaliate appropriately?

Iris wanted to pinch Leon, but considering that these were the words of an enemy and might be an attempt to sow discord, she chose to glare at Baisaqilai instead.

"May I ask you, Your Excellency, do I, a person so infatuated with beauty, have any reason to destroy the world? Since I have such a wonderful partner as Iris in the future, why would I want to destroy the world? Doesn't this logic not make sense?"

Lyon asked again.

Beside her, Iris tightened her grip on Leon's hand.

"Logic is logic, and the fact is that you will indeed appear around the core of destruction in the future."

Bai Shaqilai was not convinced and suddenly chuckled:

"Besides, with so many wives, who knows if you've provoked too many powerful women, causing them to accidentally trigger some world-destroying divine treasure? That's not evidence, and even if it is, it's only circumstantial evidence, not conclusive evidence."

Lyon was speechless; this was a question he had considered before.

Theoretically, this possibility certainly exists, but he felt it shouldn't be that bad...

"Let me ask you another question: I was present at every one of the world-ending points you predicted. What about my partner? Was he also present?"

Bai Shaqilai shook her head: "It's always just you."

Lyon's heart sank. Was it all just him?

Is it because the female protagonists had all died before that?

Or was something holding them back?

If there were other female leads present, he could have used their information to probe Bai Shaqilai's intelligence and continue deceiving her, but unexpectedly, he was the only one there.

Judging from Bai Shaqilai's expression, she probably wasn't lying to herself about this.

"Now that you can't prove your previous assertion, let's talk about some other useful information. For example, since you claim to know a lot about the future, how much do you know about the demons? How rampant will the demons be in the future?"

Seeing that Leon had failed to produce convincing evidence several times, Bai Shaqilai lost interest in listening attentively and swung her whip again, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

It looks like the whip could be turned on Lyon at any moment.

"Speak! From now on, you can only give information! You are not allowed to ask any other questions or say any other idle talk! If you disobey even once, I will whip you! Now, as a demonstration, I will whip your beloved Iris first, so you can see just how fierce this demon whip is and how painful it is when it hits you!"

The whip lashed directly at Iris, who was in Leon's arms.

*Smack!*

Just as the whip was about to strike Iris's cheek, Leon turned his head and back, using his back to catch the whip made of a high-strength sixth-grade material.

He stumbled forward a few steps as if struck by a heavy blow.

The excruciating pain traveled through his skin, but fortunately, because of his previous success with the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique, his muscle resistance had greatly increased. Although the pain was intense, it subsided very quickly and was not as painful as he had initially anticipated.

In addition, although Bai Shaqilai has a high strength attribute, her skills in exerting force are not very good because both of her professions are spellcasters, and she clearly did not use her full strength just now.
