Chapter 320 Trash Talk King
Yun Yao lifted her head, sensing the massive iron ball hovering above. She sighed softly.
Indeed, everything was unfolding exactly as Chen Junnan had predicted. Yet the dilemma remained: when the iron ball fell next, the one to die would be either herself or Terrestrial Snake.
She couldn’t be absolutely certain that Terrestrial Snake would be the one to perish.
At this mont, Chen Junnan slowly closed his eyes. The only thing left was to wait, wait for the eighteenth question to arrive. Whether their contender was a cunning strategist or a ruthless killer would be revealed in that eighteenth round.
At the sixteenth round, the questions circulated as usual. When Yun Yao called, the ssage was brief, just two words: choose {True}.
The best course now was to follow this unseen leader.
After all, the day of Terrestrial Snake’s judgnt was approaching.
Chen Junnan picked up the phone and dialed Xu Qian, but unexpectedly, the call was answered after just two rings.
Since {-2} had died, Chen Junnan’s calls usually rang more than ten tis before being picked up, so this sudden quick answer caught him off guard, but he quickly understood why.
“Old creep? So you actually live this close to ?” Chen Junnan laughed. “How’s your health lately? Have you kicked that old habit of screaming spontaneously?"
Terrestrial Snake was silent for a mont, then said, “Can you... spare ?”
“Spare you...?”
“That’s right. I don’t want to die. I’ll agree to any condition you set—pretty won, trained children... or I can even help you kill soone. Can you please spare ?”
Chen Junnan’s smile gradually faded. His eyes grew cold and sharp as he said, “You filthy bastard, even your pleas are revolting. What the hell do you an by ‘pretty won’ and ‘trained children’...?! I swear, I’d f*cking tear out your tongue myself if I could get to your room right now.”
“No! Wait... calm down and listen to . Everyone in {End Point} has a desire. What is yours?” Terrestrial Snake questioned earnestly. “This place has no laws or moral constraints. I am capable of anything. Whatever you ask, I will fulfill it.”
After a brief silence, Chen Junnan let out a cold laugh. “You actually make a good point, this place truly lacks legal or moral constraints...”
“Yes, exactly!” Terrestrial Snake nodded eagerly. “Don’t you want to rise above everyone else? Won you could never touch before beco effortless playthings once you beco a {Terrestrial}. No one can resist you! If you want, you can even start from the bottom as a Mortal Snake. I can be your ntor…”
Chen Junnan shook his head and mocked, “So you’re saying this young master should abandon my dignified look, don a foul-slling snake’s skin, and exploit the ga’s rules to coerce girls like you do?”
“Isn’t that what makes it perfect?!” Terrestrial Snake exclaid. “In the real world, what can you truly control? When has life gone exactly how you wanted? But here, we’re in charge! As {Earthly Branches}, participants are forced to follow our orders, and even the ones above us respect the rules we set!”
Chen Junnan let out a deep breath, clearly seething with anger.
“This young master is now honestly a bit curious: how miserable must your real life be that you have to seek your sense of existence in such a dark and foul place?”
“I—”
“Such a sha… this young master’s a bit too traditional to stomach your so-called ‘modern ways’. I’ve beaten up countless people in my life, but never once have I lost my temper in front of a girl. Heaven gave this strong build so this young master could step in when a lady’s in trouble.”
Terrestrial Snake scowled, deep creases forming between his brows. “You’re still putting on airs at a ti like this?! We’re both n, don’t think I don’t know what’s going through your head. You’re just another man who brought a pretty girl here for your little knight-in-shining-armor act! But now you’ve chosen to stake your life, clearly you’ve botched up! Better wise up before it’s too late!”
Chen Junnan laughed, “You say we’re both n, but you clearly don’t know at all. You actually thought I’d side with you? See, I’ve only got two rules when it cos to picking friends: loyalty to your buddies, and respect for won. Now go take a good long look in a puddle of your own snake piss, do you et either of those?”
“Pfft… Spare the virtue act,” Terrestrial Snake sneered. “I’ve seen plenty of hypocritical n, and just as many won using their bodies for attention. Pretending to be noble while dragging along so tarted-up girl in a short skirt. Don’t act like you two are so pure.”
Hearing this, Chen Junnan knew there was no point in having a civil conversation anymore.
“Oh wow, are your eyeballs connected to your f*cking bladder? Always dripping filth wherever they land. You think people dress up for you? Man, you’re trying to be the dog that eats grass, spouting nonsense with a mouth full of crap. Maybe this young master should strip to my underwear and storm your room and see if I can sue you for sexual harassnt.”
Chen Junnan laid into Terrestrial Snake with such ferocity that he couldn’t get a single word out.
“What’s wrong? Blood pressure acting up? Cat got your tongue?” Chen Junnan jeered. “Weren’t you full of swagger a minute ago? Go take a stroll through the alleys of Beijing, I may not be the best at throwing punches, but when it cos to verbal beatdowns, I’m second to none.”
Terrestrial Snake gave a resigned sigh and asked, “I won’t argue anymore. I’m going to ask you one last ti… do you want to cooperate?”
Chen Junnan paused for a mont, then said, “Alright, Xiao old man, you agree to one condition, and I won’t go after you.”
