Chapter 88

Ye Yundan looked at Cang Xing indifferently and said, "That's right, but I think you're about to do something to harm me, right?"

"How can you make such baseless assumptions about a gentle man?" Cang Xing stroked his cheek with his fingers as white as onions and said, "My fondness for you makes me... unwilling to harm you for at least a few months or even years!"

"Moreover..." His squinted eyes finally opened a bit, and he scanned Roger with a look of disdain: "I wouldn't easily lie unless I'm facing someone I particularly dislike."

Ye Yundan frowned slightly, "You have the Ten-Headed Crossbow Teeth in your hand, a trump card. You don't need to ask anyone's opinion to do whatever you want, right?"

"There's no need, but I really don't want to hurt you~~!" Cang Xing giggled.

This man, who looked extremely feminine but was as venomous as a snake, spoke in such a feminine tone that Ye Yundan shivered.

He said in a deep voice, "What do you really want?"

"Wait a moment."

Cang Xing smiled and waved his hand, and a silver metal box over half a meter tall appeared on the ground. He opened it and took out a large syringe.

"The power disparity between us is obvious," Cang Xing smiled, "So I hope you won't resist what I'm about to do. It will only hurt for a moment, and it won't damage your body or your strength."

Ye Yundan narrowed his eyes, and the flames on his fists burned brighter, "Do you think I'll believe you?"

Cang Xing sighed, "I hope you will, because if the Crossbow Teeth attack, you will suffer serious injuries... Here, I can sign a system contract with you. As long as you don't resist, I won't harm you, and I'll give you 100,000 game points. If you get even slightly injured because of my actions, I will be eliminated by the system. What do you think?"

Ye Yundan was at a loss, "What is your real intention!?"

Cang Xing said, "You said the power disparity between us is obvious. I have the Ten-Headed Crossbow Teeth as a trump card. If I really wanted to harm you, wouldn't it be better to act directly?"

"Do you plan to trust him?" Vanessa whispered behind Ye Yundan.

Ye Yundan whispered back, "Do you think we have any other choice? Or do you think I'm willing to risk my life?"

With no better options, Vanessa could only sigh deeply and step back.

Under the watchful eyes of the Crossbow Teeth, Ye Yundan slowly walked to the stage about ten meters away. With each step, his heart sank.

Even with the Great Sun Fire, even with the ability to use some of the skills from the Kusanagi, and even though his injuries were far from incapacitating, the example of Zhang Yueshan being blown apart by a single volley from the Crossbow Teeth made Ye Yundan both unwilling and unable to resist.

The idea that a man can bend and stretch is all nonsense. Although Ye Yundan kept telling himself he would get 100,000 game points, the feeling of being forced to submit filled his heart with humiliation.

"Wow, that look..." Cang Xing took a half-step back unnoticed after Ye Yundan stepped onto the stage and teased, "I like it, but please don't do something you'll regret."

Ye Yundan's eyes blazed like fire, and he said word by word, "What do you plan to do with K after you're done with me?"

"Her?" Cang Xing smiled, "Do you know that the mysterious organization's goal is to kidnap her?"

"Do you plan to help them?"

"There's one thing you can be sure of, I won't let them take K away," Cang Xing smiled, "Because this is another test I want to conduct, which probably involves the system's limits."

He looked at the sky with deep meaning, "Everyone wants to resist oppression, but the efforts each person makes are different. My strength is still weak. To become strong, to challenge everything, to no longer be a pawn for others to play with, I need to become strong quickly, strong enough that no one can use me as a pawn."

"I..." Ye Yundan gritted his teeth.

In this venue sealed by the system, there was no escape and no way to fight back. Resisting like a caged beast would only lead to death. Ye Yundan was not as reckless as those brave warriors who would risk their lives, and his fear of death far exceeded that of the average person.

But when he stepped onto the stage, he really intended to fight to the death... even though it was foolish.

However, when he heard Cang Xing say he wouldn't take K, the fire in Ye Yundan's heart was doused a bit. He quickly weighed his options.

Resisting, even with Vanessa and Roger, had a 90% chance of all of them being killed, with only a 3% chance of taking Cang Xing down with them.

Not resisting, signing a contract with Cang Xing, would allow him to survive without losing his strength, gain 100,000 game points, ensure K wasn't taken away, and earn more game points after completing the mission.

Comparing the two, not resisting meant humiliation, but everywhere else, it was beneficial.

Most importantly, Cang Xing's last words resonated with Ye Yundan: "To become strong, to challenge everything, to no longer be a pawn for others to play with, you need to become strong quickly, strong enough that no one can use you as a pawn."

"Am I being a piece of meat on the chopping block, to be cut up at will, because I am weak?"

Ye Yundan smiled bitterly and relaxed his fists, standing in front of Cang Xing, "Do what you want."

"Great!"

Cang Xing laughed heartily, "I knew you were a smart man who understands the situation."

"Beep! You have received a transaction request from Lieutenant Cang Xing."

With the system's prompt, Ye Yundan was surprised to receive the 100,000 points from Cang Xing and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll go back on my word?"

Cang Xing shook his head with a smile, "You'll see, I didn't lie to you."

"Now, please turn around and lift your shirt to your shoulder blades."

Ye Yundan was taken aback but followed Cang Xing's instructions.

Then, a gentle, cool sensation spread on the skin just above the last vertebra. Cang Xing's voice came, "Don't move, I'll start after disinfecting."

After a few gentle wipes, Ye Yundan suddenly felt a sharp object pierce his spine, followed by a mysterious suction force. His legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

A clean, slender hand reached around from behind and firmly supported Ye Yundan's abdomen, "It will be over soon."

Dizziness washed over him, and even the Great Sun Fire on his fists weakened. After an unknown amount of time, a sense of relief came from his back, and Cang Xing smiled, "It's done."

He leaned the weak and almost immobile Ye Yundan against a speaker and showed him the syringe as thick as a baby's arm, "Here, this is what I wanted."

"What is... this?"

"Bone marrow fluid." Cang Xing licked his lips with a bright red tongue, looking very alluring, "Have you heard of donating bone marrow to leukemia patients? It's basically the same process. The damage to the body is similar to donating blood. Of course, you should eat more nutritious food before donating bone marrow, but your body is so strong, it doesn't really matter."

Ye Yundan never imagined Cang Xing would do this and asked in shock, "What are you... doing?"

"Hehe, you'll understand soon."

Cang Xing handed the syringe to the female Crossbow Teeth controller and took out another syringe of the same size from the box, "Miss K, can you do the same as Lieutenant Ye Yundan? Please try not to resist, I'll do my best to minimize the pain."
