Absolute Choice Chapter 435

Chapter 435: If Shi Xiaobai confessed

“How stirring. His Majesty’s words have stirred me up.”
“What a impressive line of ‘This King is omnipotent because This King is fearless’. Who knew that the Infernal King has such a passionate side to him.”
“The Celestial King was utterly defeated, the new Transcendent King has died. Despite such circumstances, the Infernal King, who knows he doesn’t have much chance of victory, still chooses to unsheathe his sword and proceed forward bravely. It’s too cool. Although I am from the Celestial domain, at this moment, I want to shout to the Infernal King, all the best!”
“Revenge, we need to seek revenge for our dead king. We implore you Infernal King!”
“All the best, Infernal King!”
Above the basin, the attitude Shi Xiaobai had when he was facing the upcoming battle and the impassioned speech he gave broke the silence. The thirty-thousand-strong audience could not help but cry out. It might have been the stirring of their deepest feelings or to cheer the Infernal King on, or hoping that the Infernal King would avenge the new Transcendent King who died tragically. At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was the center of attention.
Speechless could not help but suffuse a smile as he stared at Shi Xiaobai’s back. He muttered, “He is a youth deserving of being the apple of This Emperor’s eye.”
Mu Yuesheng, who was supporting Speechless, heard the words he muttered and immediately recalled the scene of Shi Xiaobai embracing the injured Speechless. It was quite a strange and very harmonious scene, so she could not help but mock him, “I heard you recently rejected Princess Jasmine’s confession, causing quite a stir in China. You nearly hit the headlines of China Daily.”
“Hey, that Princess Jasmine is considered as a one in a millennium rare genius in the field of academia. Her IQ is 190 and ranked third in all of history. In terms of her looks, she is no worse than Sunless. Her family background is even higher than you as the heir to the Li family.”
“At just the age of fourteen, she got a Nobel Prize in Science. At the award ceremony that was to enter the annals of history, she recited a touching confession to you. It stirred the entire world. People said that the two of you are the most compatible pairing in the world, and that the both of you would date under the watchful eyes of the world.”
“But who knew that, you gave the nice person card the next day, and said that you were very touched before rejecting Princess Jasmine’s confession. Everyone cursed you for being blind to the bliss just beside you. They were even guessing how excellent a girl needed to be in order to catch your eye.”
“I was wondering why you could even bear rejecting Princess Jasmine, but upon careful thought, it seems like the number of girls you have rejected is uncountable. Brother Speechless, could it be…that you like men?”
To be able to reject Princess Jasmine who had such excellent qualities and not be moved by all the excellent girls that pursued him, it was clearly not what a normal teenager would do, unless he was not normal.
For example, his sexual orientation.
In combination with the words, ‘youth deserving of being the apple of This Emperor’s eye’, one would naturally produce such a strange thought.
Speechless rolled his eyes. But seeing how Mu Yuesheng began to subconsciously believe her own ridiculous suggestion, to the point of becoming serious and flustered, he could not help but turn playful.
Therefore, he purposely said seriously, “I have never seen that Jasmine even once before. We never had any contact either. She suddenly confessed to me and the so-called liking for me is just absurd.”
“It’s unknown why she suddenly had the thought to confess, so I naturally had to reject her. But on careful thought, I have also rejected a few playmates I grew up with. I always believed that I had high standards and had yet to met someone I truly like, so I refused to compromise.”
“But now, after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized that it might not be the truth. It seems like I really do not have much interest in females. Instead, after hearing Shi Xiaobai’s words, my heart began to beat quickly. Could it be…”
When Mu Yuesheng heard that, she immediately turned pale from fright. She looked at Speechless in panic and shook her head frantically, “An illusion. All of this is an illusion…”
“No, it’s not an illusion.”
Speechless said with a firm look as he said with certainty, “Little Yue, thank you for enlightening me! I finally realize my true feelings! We can ask ourselves—if the person confessing to me is Shi Xiaobai, will I be able to reject him? The answer is actually…I can’t.”
Mu Yuesheng felt like she was struck by lightning. She felt like she had accidentally opened Pandora’s box and was feeling panicked and regretful for it.
Speechless said with a laugh, “Haha, don’t worry. It’s just one-sided. Shi Xiaobai is constantly hitting on girls, so his sexual orientation is definitely normal. How could he confess to me?”
Mu Yuesheng immediately felt that she was being too detestable for her to make such a joke without thinking.
The more she thought, the more regretful she felt. Her eyes gradually turned red.
When Speechless noticed that Mu Yuesheng was about to tear, he was given a fright.
Damn it, the joke had gone too far.
His sexual orientation was of course normal. The reason why he had rejected the confessions of so many girls was because he had very high standards. Secondly, the Hero King had remained single his entire life. It appeared like he did not have any close confidant either. As his imitation, he naturally needed to imitate that impressive ability of withstanding loneliness.
The words he previously said were because of his momentary playfulness. But he had really given Mu Yuesheng a fright. It could not go on further or it would be disastrous if it was taken for the truth.
Speechless quickly opened his mouth and was prepared to explain that he had pushed the joke too far.
At that moment, a voice that overwhelmed all noise suddenly resounded in the sky. It caused everyone to voluntarily quieten down.
“This King has always believed that love can conquer all!”
The black-haired youth who was the center of attention lifted his head up and said in a manner close to shouting.
No one could ignore his voice. They all quieted down and listened to his words. But no one knew why the youth would suddenly say such words. Speechless and Mu Yuesheng also looked at him curiously as they pricked up their ears.
“This King’s love for you transcends age, sex, or even space-time transmigration!”
It was not a mindless shout, but expressed like it was the sounds of his heartbeat.
Everyone could not help but stare with widened eyes.
That line?
Was it a confession?
“And all you need to do is take that tiny step forward. That step is truly simple!”
Ah!
It was really a confession!
What a touching and deep-moving confession!
Who was he confessing to?
A selfless love that could transcend everything, as long as the other party took a gentle step forward. Who was it said to?
Sunless’ hand trembled. Her intuition told her that it wasn’t her, but her persistently calm heart was suddenly stirred. It was like a wind had blown across the still surface of a lake. There was no end to the ripples that were produced.
Who was it. Who was he saying this to? Was it to his alleged girlfriend?
All she cared about was swords and him, and she could ignore everything else.
But why…why did she suddenly find her chest heavy and eyes turning red?
