Ma Rong was still standing there in a daze.
Bai Zhou, however, suddenly cried out dramatically:
"Auntie!"
"What happened? The floor is cold—hurry up, get up!"
He actually dashed forward, faster than Ma Rong, and pulled his aunt up from the ground.
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +767 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2850 more to activate!
That Destined Villain Value had definitely been provided by Ma Rong.
But that did not mean his aunt was not gritting her teeth in hatred inside.
She thought:
Wasn't this all because of you?! And now you're the one helping me up?
Still, Auntie was an elder.
Especially after her daughter had just been utterly crushed, she could only force herself to save face.
She stiffly said:
"Oh~ I think Auntie dropped an earring around here. Why can't I find it?"
Bai Zhennan and Shen Yun both rolled their eyes at that.
Even Ma Rong could not help grumbling inwardly:
Oh my god, you don't even have pierced ears. Where would you get earrings?
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +333 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2800 more to activate!
"Cough, cough!" Bai Zhennan cleared his throat.
He took over the conversation and looked at Bai Zhou solemnly.
"Zhou, you're the older brother. Why don't you know to go easy on your little sister?"
The anger in Bai Zhennan's voice had long since vanished.
After all, he had realized that the E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden his son had contracted was anything but ordinary!
Then he waved a hand.
"Why aren't you apologizing to your sister already?"
Hearing that, Bai Zhou immediately asked:
"Me? Apologize to her?"
"Heh."
With a faint chuckle, he said:
"She's the one who should apologize!"
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +888 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2750 more to activate!
"I—" Freed from the battle and its oppressive aura, Ma Rong was about to crane her neck and argue with Bai Zhou again.
But Bai Zhou reached out and pulled Lin Wei, who had been hiding behind him, forward.
Looking at Ma Rong, he said:
"Do you not remember what you said earlier?"
"Apologize."
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +236 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2700 more to activate!
Ma Rong looked at the thin, frail Lin Wei, who had her head lowered.
Her tear-filled eyelids twitched wildly.
Yes, what had she said just now?
She had called someone else's E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden trash!
Yet during the battle, she had been pressed so hard by an E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden that she could barely breathe. She had even knelt on the ground, unable to raise her head.
Impossible!
There was no way this woman was merely E-Class!
Bai Zhou had lied to her!
This was all his scheme. He had deliberately concealed the Divine Weapon Maiden's rank and deliberately provoked her into attacking!
"Bai Zhou! You—" The more Ma Rong thought about it, the angrier she became, and she could not help roaring at Bai Zhou again.
"Hm?" Bai Zhou merely glanced at her indifferently.
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +864 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2650 more to activate!
Ma Rong's entire body trembled.
It was as though she had recalled the terror that had risen from deep within her heart moments ago.
She instantly lowered her head.
Then she spoke in a trembling voice:
"I... I'm sorry."
Bai Zhou said, "Louder. I didn't hear you!"
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +999 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2600 more to activate!
"I'm sorry!"
Ma Rong gritted her teeth slightly and shouted:
"I was wrong! I shouldn't have said such horrible things just now. I'm the real piece of trash!"
Though she said that.
Ma Rong's lowered eyes were filled with unwillingness.
But right now, she did not dare reveal such emotions in front of Bai Zhou at all.
Bai Zhou turned to Lin Wei and asked gently:
"What do you think of her apology?"
"Ah? Me?" Lin Wei had never expected that she would still have the right to speak at a time like this.
But seeing Bai Zhou's gentle gaze, Lin Wei softly said:
"It's... it's fine..."
Only after seeing Lin Wei nod did Bai Zhou turn back to Ma Rong, smiling as he held out a hand.
"Since Lin Wei has forgiven you, you can get up now."
Holding out his hand was not an apology—it meant she still had more training to do!
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +999 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2550 more to activate!
Looking at Bai Zhou's outstretched hand before her, Ma Rong gritted her teeth.
Without touching his hand at all, she pushed herself up from the ground.
At that moment, Auntie, who had been standing nearby, finally spoke again.
"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first. We only came today to see how Zhou's awakening went."
"Who would have thought that Zhou truly lives up to being your son, Big Brother? Hahaha!"
It was completely insincere.
Her laughter was awkward as hell.
Ding! A major supporting character has suffered +777 mental damage. Destined Villain Value +50. Villain Roulette requires 2500 more to activate!
Bai Zhennan and Shen Yun did not stop them either.
They watched the three leave their villa.
After they had gone, Bai Zhou smiled at his bargain-bin father, Bai Zhennan, and said:
"Alright, ask whatever you want."
Seeing how composed Bai Zhou was, Shen Yun and Bai Zhennan exchanged a look.
With a loving smile on her face, Shen Yun walked toward Lin Wei. Amid Lin Wei's panicked gaze, she took her little hand.
"Look how frightened this child is."
"Come on, little girl. Why don't you come talk with Auntie?"
Lin Wei instinctively cast Bai Zhou a pleading look.
But Bai Zhou smiled and nodded at her. Lin Wei gritted her teeth and lowered her head.
Bai Zhennan snorted at Bai Zhou then.
"You brat, you really gave your old man a huge surprise!"
"Come with me."
With that, he turned and walked toward the villa stairs.
Bai Zhou did not hesitate.
He followed Bai Zhennan all the way to the study.
After entering, Bai Zhennan did not forget to close the door.
But the instant the door shut, Bai Zhennan could no longer hold it in. Before even sitting down, he blurted out:
"Are you out of your mind?!"
Bai Zhennan's sudden question left even Bai Zhou dumbfounded.
Logically speaking, should his bargain-bin father not have been asking what was going on with this E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden?
How had it become about him being crazy?
Bai Zhou could not help saying:
"No... Dad, what are you talking about?"
Bai Zhennan rolled his eyes.
"You're still playing dumb with me?"
"Tell me, did you sign a Life-and-Death Contract with that girl just now?"
"Yeah?" Bai Zhou nodded as though it were only natural.
"You're saying 'yeah'?" Bai Zhennan was speechless. Spreading his hands, he said:
"Then what are you going to do about your fiancée after signing a Life-and-Death Contract with her?"
Bai Zhou: ??
"My fiancée? I have a... oh, right!"
With a smack, Bai Zhou slapped his forehead.
Damn, he had actually forgotten about that!
It really had been written in the original novel.
The villain Bai Zhou had a fiancée.
And because of Bai Zhou's ties to the Bai Family,
his fiancée's status was certainly nothing to scoff at!
The original novel had even described her as someone worthy of being called the National Fairy!
He had just transmigrated and immediately encountered Lin Wei.
His mind had been entirely occupied with figuring out how to contract Lin Wei's Dragon Gallant Silver Spear to himself.
How had he forgotten about this?
Seeing Bai Zhou's reaction,
Bai Zhennan was utterly defeated.
Shaking his head helplessly, he said:
"You really forgot?"
"You little brat, do you know what kind of relationship your grandfather has with her grandfather?"
"Right now, I don't even dare tell anyone that you signed a Life-and-Death Contract with some girl. Your eldest uncle and grandfather still don't know."
"But paper can't cover fire forever. Sooner or later, they'll find out!"
"When the two of them join forces to deal with me, you might be able to take it, but your father can't!"
"You!"
Seeing his father grow more agitated and anxious with every word,
Bai Zhou quickly waved his hands.
"Calm down! Dad, calm down!"
"Relax. Leave this matter to me."
Bai Zhennan gave Bai Zhou a sidelong look. "How are you going to deal with it?"
Bai Zhou smiled faintly and said softly:
"Who said your son's Life-and-Death Contract could only bind one person?"
Bai Zhennan: ??
"What the fuck did you say?!"
