The Joyful Process of Scaring Children
Chapter 66 The Joyful Process of Scaring Children
Even in death, Bai Hu remained puzzled as to why You Chen dared to kill him, the guard assigned to Hu Liena by the Pope.
But this is only because he never understood his own position from the beginning.
"You were just a pawn protecting Hu Liena. Even if there were evidence that I killed you, why would Bibi Dong turn against me?"
Seeing the bewildered expression on Bai Hu's face before his death, You Chen silently shook his head.
Bibi Dong only sent Bai Hu alone to protect Hu Liena, and even Hu Liena herself was unaware of this!
In the remote wilderness of Fanos province, even if You Chen killed Bai Hu, there would be no way to prove it.
Suppose Bibi Dong sends someone to ask You Chen Baihu about the cause of his death? — Sorry, has such a person ever come? I don't know.
You said he came to Nottingham on a secret mission? — What does his secret mission have to do with me?
Huh? He was secretly protecting Hu Liena? There's no way I didn't see him? —Sorry, I really didn't see him, because I didn't do anything to Hu Liena. Why would his protector come out to see me?
There are no witnesses or physical evidence. Unless Bibi Dong forcibly convicts You Chen, there's nothing she can do about it.
If she could really force a crime against You Chen, she would have done so long ago.
It's true that You Chen and Qian Renxue have a conflict and haven't seen each other for ten years, but their master-disciple relationship hasn't completely broken down.
Before Bibi Dong is fully prepared to break ties with Qian Renxue and the Hall of Worship behind her, she will not easily make a move against You Chen.
If You Chen killed Hu Liena, then if Bibi Dong went mad, she might very well kill You Chen without considering anything else. And it's only a possibility.
But You Chen only killed Bai Hu, such a small fry?
The white swan does not have such value.
Now that he'd killed this guy, Bibi Dong couldn't do anything to him. While cutting off his wings, he could also thoroughly disgust Bibi Dong... How could he possibly let such a good thing go!?
The death of the white swan can only be described as a complete waste.
Having witnessed the whole process, Tang Hao gained a deeper understanding of You Chen. At least... the conflict between You Chen and the Papal faction was definitely not a trivial matter!
A Soul Emperor was brutally killed without even asking a question! This can only mean that the conflict and impulsiveness between them had already escalated to an irreconcilable point!
On the other side, You Chen didn't even pick up the soul tool that Bai Hu dropped after his death. After simply dealing with his body, he went into the cave, confirmed that Hu Liena was still unconscious, and then flew back towards Notting City at high speed.
He didn't intend to go into the city and return to his residence just like that—after all, it would be inconvenient for Tang Hao to continue his secret observation.
It was still outside the city, but compared to where the body had been dumped earlier, it was just outside the city, in the wilderness.
After confirming that no one else was around, You Chen woke Hu Liena up.
For this level of psychological trauma, sleep is the best way to recover.
Several hours have passed, and Hu Liena has almost fully recovered.
"Well……"
With a soft groan, Hu Liena groggily opened her eyes.
First, I noticed the sky was dark, and I seemed to be in the middle of nowhere...
Before he could recall what had happened, he noticed a pair of bright eyes in front of him, and then saw a somewhat familiar young man looking at him with a half-smile, wearing a pair of very suitable black-rimmed glasses on his nose...
"You, you, you, you!!!"
Hu Liena's eyes widened, and she instantly snapped back to reality. She quickly moved her bottom like a frightened kitten and retreated several meters away.
As she backed away, she pointed a finger at You Chen, her mind filled with countless terrifying fantasies, too frightened to utter a word.
"A dark and windy night, in the middle of nowhere... Is he planning to kill me here and dump my body?!"
Humans often unleash extraordinary potential when they are in a state of extreme fear.
Just like the white swan before, who could still unleash soul skills even after losing nearly a third of her body, Hu Liena, now that she is physically healthy, can still do so by organizing her thoughts.
In a moment of quick thinking, she shouted, "My teacher knows I came to Nottingham to find you. If you harm me, she will definitely find out and she will not let you off!"
You Chen was too lazy to refute Hu Liena. After all, he couldn't very well say that he had already killed the person who was secretly protecting her and knew that Hu Liena had actually sneaked out, could he?
He simply maintained his usual smile and said, "Hu Liena, Hu Liena, haven't you realized one thing by now—I'm not afraid of your teacher at all, not afraid of that woman Bibi Dong!"
Hu Liena, who had been terrified, suddenly became furious upon hearing You Chen's resounding declaration: "You...you're lying! A mere ordinary teacher, and you say you're not afraid of my teacher, His Holiness the Pope?! And you're not allowed to address your teacher by his first name! Apologize for your disrespect!"
"Should I call you stupid, or naive?"
You Chen looked somewhat troubled and touched his forehead: "Perhaps I was too lenient with you in the past because you were a child, which caused you to have unnecessary misconceptions... It's my fault."
He seemed completely oblivious to Hu Liena's threat, neither refuting nor showing anger, but simply muttering to himself, "After all, I was once your teacher, and of course, I bear some responsibility for not educating you properly. But I never imagined you would be so vicious as to use your mental abilities on such a young child, on Yusei..."
His tone gradually lowered, and the aura he exuded became increasingly terrifying.
This terrifying atmosphere made Hu Liena finally recall her current situation and the fear she felt.
Trembling, she warned in a threatening but ultimately weak voice, "W-what are you going to do?! My teacher is the Pope! Don't do anything rash!"
This time, You Chen didn't even bother to claim that he was "not afraid of the Pope." He just silently looked at Hu Liena, his dark eyes seemingly burning with black flames.
In an instant, Hu Liena's eyes widened. In her eyes, You Chen seemed to have transformed into a pitch-black giant, a thousand feet tall, surrounded by black flames.
The invisible spiritual fluctuations were caused by You Chen's inability to perfectly control the power of the "Soul-Slaying Technique".
The lingering spiritual energy it emitted silenced all the faint chirping of insects and the rustling of grass in the surrounding area.
In Huliena's eyes, the world had completely sunk into a dark and twisted swamp, where everything had lost its shape, except for the pitch-black giant in front of her that was growing infinitely taller...
