Xu Xiaoyou once doubted if she had misheard them. When she realized the two people in front of her seed serious, a thousand questions filled her mind, and her face was covered with black lines.
"Are you threatening ?"
A sense of intimidation radiated from Xu Xiaoyou, the ultimate card she had, "Fire God's Dao Opening." If a fourth person were present, the pressure would be stifling. However, before her were two Fifth Tier Cleaners, unfazed by the overwhelming aura.
"How can this be considered a threat?" Evergreen Ivy said with a smile.
"It's a form of protection. The whole world is eager to unveil your mystery, to either gain you or kill you. In your weakened state, even if you escape after injuring us, where can you run?"
"Why don't you settle down here, recuperate, and during this period, we will provide you shelter?"
"You... protect ?" Xu Xiaoyou chuckled, her ntal intention further activating the "Fire God's Dao Opening" under her coat.
The air in the room began to distort from the high temperature, and the tables and chairs showed signs of lting. Behind the girl, there seed to be a massive apparition of a Fla Demon, Vajra-like with angry eyes, waves of flas surging, and from its nostrils, a boiling breath capable of lting steel spewed out.
Evergreen Ivy wiped cold sweat from his heart. As expected of a Light Prism Tier Cleaner, even in this weakened state, she still had the ans to possibly kill them. He couldn't guarantee a complete retreat if things turned sour, at least not without sparing the innocents and children within hundreds of miles outside.
"Please, Dark Gold Rose, let's not be rash." Evergreen Ivy forced a smile.
Tiger Tail Orchid, beside him, had eyes brimming with fighting spirit, stepping on the table before him, and stared directly at Xu Xiaoyou:
"What's wrong with the word 'protection'?"
"Understand your current situation. I admit you may have been formidable hundreds of years ago, reflecting the light of the world, but now you're a weak, pitiable creature needing protection from soone stronger than you, and the ones who can protect you are in front of you. Yet, you want to tear this apart with us over so ridiculous pride?"
"Try your luck. See who lasts till the end if you have the guts."
The almost solidified atmosphere felt like a powder keg ready to explode, and the short seconds felt like centuries to the three in the room.
Xu Xiaoyou snorted, ending the "Fire God's Dao Opening" through her ntal intent, and Evergreen Ivy and Tiger Tail Orchid's faces relaxed, no longer as aggressive as before.
"You just want an excuse to keep here to observe , right? Is it the Dawn Society that has you doing this?" Xu Xiaoyou's tone revealed no fluctuation.
Evergreen Ivy and Tiger Tail Orchid did not respond.
Xu Xiaoyou inwardly sneered. This was the situation she wanted—to show partial cards, let the two know her thods, then demonstrate weakness to indicate her stance. It seed like a forr strong figure proactively lowering her posture, hiding under the clutches of force, but in reality, it's like an ant adjusting its status balance against the elephant to an equal playing field, maintaining so control.
No matter what these two Fifth Tier Cleaners' ultimate goal was, in the background, they would have to weigh the weight of "Dark Gold Rose."
"I can't accept your request," Xu Xiaoyou said.
"Are you expecting us to cater to your every need?" Evergreen Ivy's tone suddenly hardened. "Dark Gold Rose, aren't you broke and stranded with nowhere to go right now?"
Xu Xiaoyou looked up, eting the man's serious gaze.
"You've certainly deceived and played with many won's feelings. Regardless, you must practice a man's Leaf Dao in the Mint Green Leaf, approach, understand and delve into those won's hearts with a serving attitude, understand how much they were hurt by your scumbag actions."
"Wait a minute." Xu Xiaoyou's mouth twitched, "Why are you so sure I've done sothing heinous and unpardonable?"
"A person's gaze never lies." Evergreen Ivy's tone was unwavering. "Your eyes tell you've surely hard countless youthful girls' pure hearts through deception, seduction, and other despicable ans, only to satisfy your selfish desires or interests!"
Xu Xiaoyou thought, Am I really that bad? How co even I don't know?
"Couldn't tell, so this is the kind of person you are." Tiger Tail Orchid looked at Xu Xiaoyou with a more scrutinizing gaze.
"There's no room for discussion; you must pay for your mistakes, stay here to atone for the crying young girls, and practice a man's Leaf Dao, learning how to 'serve' in emotional fusion rather than constantly 'taking'!"
"That's why you shouldn't judge soone at first glance." Xu Xiaoyou was already thinking about how to change the subject and shake off these two lunatics' entanglent.
Evergreen Ivy stood up, eyes sharp, voice like a bell, "Dare you to swear with your heart, and say out loud you haven't hard a single beautiful soul?"
Already feeling a bit guilty, Xu Xiaoyou was tongue-tied, large beads of sweat trickling down her forehead. Could she truly be without guilt?
The mories of her interactions with Lin Ran, Bai Youyou, Anya, Tang Xin, Chichu Hong, and Angelina surfaced involuntarily in her mind. Damn, how could she think of so many people at once?
No, Xu Xiaoyou reconsidered. She realized she was getting sidetracked. The main issue should be whether she needs to beco a Green Leaf, not whether she can entirely justify herself, right?
"Tsk, I got it. I'll try to practice this Leaf Dao you ntioned, but going upstairs is out of the question." In the end, Xu Xiaoyou chose to compromise, certainly not feeling guilty or remorseful.
With her charm, it should be easy to please those lonely wealthy won. If she pleases them enough, their empty safes might plump up soday.
The premise, of course, is she'll only sell her skills, not her body, reaching into the won's hearts but not into their lives.
At the re thought of the pitiful plight of those tender green leaves, Xu Xiaoyou felt a chill; the outco of one-sided 'service' in emotion is being taken to the second floor, having hands tied, eyes blindfolded, faced with steel brushes...
Xu Xiaoyou almost shivered from goosebumps.
As if guessing what Xu Xiaoyou was thinking, Evergreen Ivy smiled and said, "Dark Gold Rose, most Green Leaves sell skills, not their bodies. What you've seen are just the lowest tier, non-mainstream batch of Green Leaves—the low shrubs in a flourishing forest, mostly street hoodlums with no talent nor cultural quality before entering the Green Leaf Store, naturally lacking knowledge on how to please won on a psychological level."
"But you're different; you're the Dark Gold Rose, capable of harming countless budding young won's hearts, indicating you definitely know how to open a girl's tightly shut heart and steal away their passionate, burning hearts."
