After turning into a rare female, she refused the bosses' exclusive favor
Chapter 126 The Way of Repaying
After the queen led her two cubs away, only Pushik and Reinhardt were left in the entire courtyard.
The two looked at each other, and Pu Xike said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, thank you."
Reinhardt was a little nervous, but he adjusted himself and sat opposite Pushik.
After not seeing each other for a few days, Pushik has become more and more beautiful. No wonder the emperor has been urging Reinhardt to learn that the one who is close to the water will get the moon first, and not to let other males get the favor of females first.
But Pushk rejected all the males recommended by the Queen, so Reinhardt was naturally not worried that any male would get there first.
"Miss, did you invite me here today to discuss something important?"
As soon as Reinhardt said this, he wanted to slap himself hard.
In such situations, it is usually polite to ask the other person how they are doing first, rather than jumping straight into the point.
Reinhardt felt a little regretful that he brought his work habits into the meeting with Purshik, and he was sure that the other party would dislike him.
In fact, Pu Xike didn't care. Instead, he said fewer polite words, allowing her to directly state the intention of the invitation.
"Reinhardt... Rhine, can I call you that?"
"Of course." Reinhardt was a little flattered.
After all, nicknames are only used by people who are close to each other. Doesn’t this mean that the other person wants to get closer to you?
"Oh, by the way! You can also be more casual and don't have to call me "Miss" or "you" all the time." Pushik continued.
"How, how is this possible?" Reinhardt was a little excited. Did the other party want to exchange nicknames with him?
Pu Xike said nonchalantly: "It's just a title, no need to make a fuss! If you feel embarrassed, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Reinhardt pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Then...can I call you "Xi'er"? "
"I don't care." Pushike said calmly.
"So, Xi...Xier?" Reinhardt called Pushik tentatively.
Seeing that the other party looked natural and showed no resistance, Reinhardt felt relieved and asked, "Xi'er, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
"Well, I have something important to tell you." Pushik nodded and his face became a little serious.
"Rhine, more than half of the deadline we agreed on has passed. You should know all of this, right?"
Reinhardt was stunned. He really didn't expect time to pass so quickly.
Although he had strived for a month's deadline, he was busy dealing with the rebels and had almost no contact with Pushik, which made the man feel regretful.
But an agreement is an agreement, and he couldn't force her to stay. Reinhardt said with relief: "So, Miss, do you want to leave early?"
"No, I will keep my promise and leave after the deadline," Pushik denied.
"But before that, I will repay you for your help. After all, you wasted a royal privilege for me, and I feel it is necessary to return the favor."
Pushik looked sincere, but this was undoubtedly a way of drawing a line between him and Reinhardt, and from then on the two of them owed nothing to each other.
Reinhardt inevitably felt a little disappointed, but his face still maintained his cool and calm look.
"Xi'er, you don't have to care too much. This is what we agreed upon at the beginning. You don't have to repay me for anything."
"What if I say that I can help you find the leader of the rebels?" Pu Xike directly brought up the key topic of this invitation.
Sure enough, Reinhardt's face changed. During this period, the special investigation team had not made any breakthrough progress in its investigation of the rebels. He was prepared for a protracted war, but he never thought that Pushik would bring it up at this time.
Reinhardt was a little bit incredulous, but still asked: "Xier, you...are you kidding?"
"Do I look like the kind of person who would joke?" Pu Xike curled the corners of his lips, but his tone was full of confidence.
"..."
Reinhardt was silent for a long time before continuing to ask, "What are your plans?"
"Lure the snake out of its hole!" Pushik uttered these four words calmly.
But Reinhardt still didn't understand, so Pushik explained: "We need a 'bait'."
"Bait?" Reinhardt frowned.
"Yes! Something that can tempt the rebels to reveal their identities and get what they want."
For a moment, Reinhardt was in a dilemma. Although Pushik's plan was good, he really couldn't think of any "bait" that would make the rebels want it at all costs.
At this time, Pu Xike suddenly asked: "Rhine, how high is your current out-of-control value?"
Although Reinhardt was puzzled as to why Pushik asked this question, he answered truthfully: "My out-of-control value is currently hovering near the red alert line. Maybe in another 20 years, I will be at risk of going out of control."
"Hurricane" is a disease that will become increasingly severe as strength increases and age accumulates. For an SSS-level orc like Reinhardt, it is a miracle that he can suppress the out-of-control value to this level.
After hearing this, Pu Xike continued, "Give me your hand."
Reinhardt extended a hand without hesitation.
Pushik held the man's hand and interlocked his fingers with his, which made Reinhardt's heart skip a beat.
But soon, a warm and comfortable feeling came from the palms.
"This is..." A hint of surprise flashed in Reinhardt's eyes.
Just because Pushik was providing him with "mental counseling", Reinhardt could even clearly feel that the violent factor in his body was gradually calming down.
"Incredible!"
Although Reinhardt had heard John mention that Pushik seemed to have the ability to cure "mania", it was not until he experienced it personally today that he realized that Pushik was far more powerful than he thought.
At the same time, sweat was beating on Pu Xike's forehead. This treatment took more effort than she thought, and it consumed a lot of mental energy.
Only then did Pu Xike realize that the "madness" of SSS-level orcs was far more serious than that of ordinary orcs, but for her, it was just a little troublesome and not difficult to treat.
After a moment, Pushik pulled his hand back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, winked at the man and asked, "How do you feel?"
Reinhardt's face was filled with joy. The "madness" that had troubled him for many years had been completely cured. At this moment, he just felt relaxed all over.
"Xi'er, thank you!"
If it weren't for the fact that they were male and female, Reinhardt would definitely give Pushik a big hug.
"So, what do you think of me as the bait?" Pushik's suggestion shocked Reinhardt.
After all, a female who can cure "madness" is destined to become the target of competition among major interstellar forces, and the resistance forces will naturally flock to her.
It can be said that in the entire empire, no one is more suitable than Pushik to act as the "bait" for this operation.
But Reinhardt did not hesitate at all and decisively rejected her proposal, "No! This is too dangerous."
"But you really can't find a better "bait" than me, right?" Pu Xike asked back.
"But we will never let any innocent people sacrifice in order to fight the rebels. This will damage the glory of the empire!" Reinhardt was firm.
Pu Xike retorted: "At least now, I am still a member of the special investigation team. It was you who suggested that I assist in the investigation, so shouldn't you respect my opinion, Marshal?"
Reinhardt was speechless for a moment. Seeing that Pushik was serious, he could only sigh and said, "Let me think about it."
Pushik didn't say anything more and gave the choice to Reinhardt.
