He frowned and turned his head, only to see that Xiao Lin did not show any sadness at all.
Instead, she smiled at him.
His slender, pale fingers twirled a strand of his hair, the boy's posture was undeniably alluring.
He asked, "Does the general mean that once we're back in our rooms, we can do whatever we want?"
He said, "When the time comes, I'm willing to be the prostitute you choose. No matter how the general treats me, I can endure it."
Yu Tang: ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿ ¿
Chapter 17
He died for the villain for the fourth time (17)
"Your Highness!" Yu Tang withdrew his hand and looked at Xiao Lin seriously.
"Your subject humbly requests that you exercise self-respect."
He didn't understand why Xiao Lin could put himself so low.
She even said those things to him as if it were a joke.
Although the system said that Xiao Lin's favorability towards him had reached 75, Yu Tang still had a vague understanding of this concept.
He didn't understand why Xiao Lin, who was so good at controlling himself, would rush into the battlefield to find him despite the danger, nor did he understand why Xiao Lin could lower himself and say such shameless things to him after he rejected him time and time again.
After saying that, he stood up and turned his back to Xiao Lin: "Your Highness, you don't need to run those twenty laps anymore. Go back to your residence and rest in a while. Let's pretend that nothing happened today."
"Stop saying those self-deprecating things."
This time, there was silence for a long time.
There were no sudden hugs or unexpected kisses, only a long silence.
Xiao Lin sat up straight, his fingers trembling slightly as he freed them from the tangled strands of hair.
Actually, this was the first time he had done or said anything like this to anyone.
Yu Tang's previous words were harsh, so he wanted to defuse the situation and came up with this solution.
But the man in front of him wasn't taking his jokes seriously at all.
His attitude and tone were much colder and harsher than when they first met.
“I…” Xiao Lin clenched his fist, stood up, fixed his gaze on the upright young general in front of him, and replied, “I will be punished.”
"General, I deserve to be punished."
Before Yu Tang could speak, he jogged to the track in the training ground and started running with the soldiers.
All that was left for Yu Tang was his back view.
So much so that the man didn't see the embarrassed, almost tearful expression on his face.
The training ground is very large; a lap around it is almost a kilometer.
Twenty laps is nearly twenty kilometers.
Li Wen and Zhao Lin were almost exhausted after running, and they left the training ground with the soldiers, helping each other along.
They didn't dare look at Yu Tang's side during that time, for fear of angering him again and being punished with another twenty laps.
After all, they could all see that Yu Tang's expression was not good at this moment.
Li Wen sighed helplessly, "Sigh, even the general isn't letting His Highness run away. What's he doing?"
Zhao Lin: "I don't know. It seems His Highness is at odds with the General, and we can't stop him."
“We’re used to this training ground, but His Highness has never run so many laps before. If something happens later, it will be difficult to handle.”
"But this is something we can't handle. Let His Highness and the General resolve it themselves..."
The two shook their heads and walked out.
Before long, only Yu Tang and Xiao Lin remained on the spacious training ground.
For the entire day, Yu Tang stood there for the same amount of time as Xiao Lin ran.
He shouted at Xiao Lin to stop several times.
But the boy ignored him and kept running.
They've gone completely mad.
Xiao Lin's legs were already inconvenient, and Yu Tang noticed his running posture.
It inexplicably made him feel a tightness in his chest.
Later, he simply stopped calling out to Xiao Lin and just prepared a water bottle, standing by and waiting for Xiao Lin to finish running.
"Host, are you really going to keep rejecting him like this?"
Yu Tang couldn't understand Xiao Lin, but the system had memories from previous worlds, so he understood Xiao Lin's feelings very well.
These villains may seem to have different personalities, but in reality, they all have the same attitude towards relationships.
Once you've made up your mind, you won't let go.
No matter how much Yu Tang refused, Xiao Lin would not give up.
His persistent running on the training field is nothing more than an outlet for his emotions.
Yu Tang: Hmm...
"But isn't there a saying that goes like this?"
The system told him: "Life is short, so enjoy it while you can."
Since your death is necessary for the mission and cannot be changed, you might as well take advantage of this time to get along well with the villain.
Don't think about what will happen to him after he dies, and don't think about how your death will hurt him.
I think what you did is exactly what he wanted.
Yu Tang remained silent.
After a long pause, he said: "But I have no feelings for him. Wouldn't I be deceiving him by doing this?"
But you were the one who had the script all along; you were deceiving him from the very beginning!
Master, you lied to me from the very beginning.
Your concealment, your gentleness, are like sharp knives, slowly taking my life...
The sudden sound filled his consciousness. Yu Tang closed his eyes, and the face of the young man in black from his previous dream appeared in his mind.
My heart is aching terribly, like a long-suppressed emotion that wants to burst forth.
But in an instant, it was suppressed by something and returned to calm.
But Yu Tang still felt lost. He replied to the system: System, I don't know what to do...
Yu Tang: The task you gave me was to be a liar.
Yu Tang: No matter what I do, I'll become a liar...
"Host, I'm sorry." The system also realized that it had spoken too harshly.
Having traveled through these four worlds, it's quite interesting to watch Yu Tang interact with the villains.
But the thought of the ending turns all that sweetness into pain, making one feel sad.
A few days ago, he even submitted a report to his superiors about the situation he encountered while carrying out the mission with Yu Tang.
The answer I received was to continue following the task instructions.
He requested to see the Lord God.
But the chief god's subordinates said that the chief god was still undergoing tribulations and had not returned.
Before he returned, his colleagues pulled him aside and told him nervously that, according to rumors, the main god had disappeared this time.
It wasn't actually a tribulation, but rather a mission to save his master. And in an extremely brutal way.
They might even lose their lives.
The system thought it was a rumor and didn't pay attention to it.
Because the supreme god is the last god in the world. If he dies, then all three thousand great worlds and three thousand small worlds will collapse.
The collapse could not be avoided unless a new god took his place after his death.
But those with divine status had all died in the war to slaughter gods 100,000 years ago, so where could they find a new chief god?
Yu Tang: You're just following the rules, it's okay.
Yu Tang: I originally approached the villain in order to be resurrected, so my starting point was not pure.
Yu Tang: It's not wrong to call me a liar.
His voice brought the system back to its senses.
The system quickly said: "No, no, no, host, it's not your fault, it's the fault of the Supreme God!"
If he had made the task simpler, you wouldn't be in such a difficult position!
This time, Yu Tang didn't return to the system because Xiao Lin had already finished his mission.
He walked over and handed the water bottle to the boy, who was covered in sweat and had pale lips.
"Your Highness, have some water."
Xiao Lin rested his hands on his knees and looked up at Yu Tang's face.
Sweat dampened my eyelashes, making the image I saw somewhat blurry.
Behind Yutang lies the sunset and evening glow.
His face, backlit, was filled with worry and guilt.
If you don't like me, why care about me?
Xiao Lin felt a deep bitterness in his heart.
"General..." He took the water, tilted his head back and took a swig, then handed the kettle back to Yu Tang.
