One person: A fusion of Kizaru, the king of the trash-talking gang.

"You mean this?"

With a raised finger, Jiang Bailan emitted a soft beam of light from her fingertip, which shone brightly in the dark forest, illuminating Chen Duo's face and highlighting her pair of emerald green, flawless eyes.

"very nice."

Chen Duo glanced briefly at Jiang Bailan's fingertips before quickly looking away and returning her gaze to the road in front of her.

very nice?

Is this gone?

Chen Duo's reaction left Jiang Bailan speechless. She had assumed that Chen Duo was like other girls, unable to resist beautiful things, but it turned out that Chen Duo was just looking at things without any resistance.

I felt nothing after watching it.

However, this did give Jiang Bailan an opening to communicate. Since the other party had a certain aesthetic sense, she could try to start from that aspect.

"There are better ones."

Then, he took out his "far ahead" and started searching for various beautiful landscape pictures on Baidu, presenting the beautiful scenery from all over the world to the other party.

Snow-capped mountains!

A lake as blue as a mirror!

An endless grassland!

……

Unfortunately, Chen Duo only glanced at it briefly, her face showing no longing or anticipation, her expression remaining as calm as ever.

It was still no use.

Seeing Chen Duo's expression, Jiang Bailan wasn't surprised. If a few pretty pictures could change someone's mind, then he wouldn't be the one doing this.

Thinking of this, he decided to try a more direct approach. After all, verbal persuasion wasn't his forte, and Chen Duo's little brain wouldn't listen to roundabout methods.

Putting away his phone and reverting to his previous lazy demeanor, Jiang Bailan put his hands behind his head, admiring the moonlit forest as he strolled along casually.

"Chen Duo, although I don't know what you're thinking, I still want to tell you... live well."

"Whether you live as a Gu or as a human, as long as you're alive, things will always get better!"

"Some people endure bullying, insults, and hiding for most of their lives, just waiting for the opportunity to live in this world with dignity."

"Some people are pure and innocent, but because of a small mistake (bathing), they dare not face their own hearts, just waiting for the opportunity to break through their inner demons and accept themselves."

"Some people are just slacking off and doing nothing, often sighing in the middle of the night about their own depravity, just waiting to get rich overnight and live a carefree life."

What I want to tell you is that nothing in this world is static. People who are alive are always waiting, waiting for things to get better.

"Whether it's a poison or a human being, there's always a way out."

"However, all of this has one prerequisite..."

As Jiang Bailan walked, she lowered her arm from behind her head and looked at Chen Duo in front of her.

The other person seemed to realize something as well, and stopped to look at them.

Staring into Chen Duo's innocent and enigmatic eyes, Jiang Bailan slowly spoke: "That is, to be alive... As long as a person is alive, there is hope; once dead, there is nothing left..."

"Only a fool would think of dying!"

"In this life, don't dwell too much on the past, and don't think too much about the future; thinking too much is not good..."

"Of course, this is not an order, just a suggestion. The final choice of whether to stay or leave is still in your hands."

After saying this, Jiang Bailan took out his Changbai Mountain cigarette and silently lit it.

As a young man who came to relax and do nothing, he has already done more than fought with the people of Biyou Village, brought back Chen Duo, and saved Liao Zhong's life later.

As for how much of what the other party listened to, Jiang Bailan had no idea.

He sincerely hoped that this poor girl, who was terrible at playing games, could change her fate after this incident and step out of the dark world of the Medicine Immortal Society and into the bright world of human society.

Chen Duo is innocent. Just like Feng Baobao said, she's just had bad luck in life...

Even though the world wasn't as wonderful as she had imagined, there was always hope in being alive...

The Gu body is not without solutions, such as Ma Xianhong's complete version of the Body Cultivation Furnace, and the Dual-Handed Technique, one of the Eight Extraordinary Skills...

There's always a way...

The two continued walking quietly, time passing amidst the chirping of birds in the summer night forest. Soon they arrived at the place where Chen Duo had disappeared, where Liao Zhong was still waiting by the car.

rustle! rustle!

The leaves rustled, and Jiang Bailan led Chen Duo out from the darkness.

Upon seeing Chen Duo, Liao Zhong simply asked a few questions about whether she was injured and what had happened. Hearing her honest answers, he showed no sign of blaming her and kept urging Chen Duo to get in the car and rest.

In Liao Zhong's view, as long as Chen Duo is safe, everything else is a minor matter.

As for Ma Xianhong, who took Chen Duo away, he didn't take it to heart, only thinking that he was a hermit living nearby and that the two sides had just had a misunderstanding.

After Chen Duo got into the car, Liao Zhong thanked Jiang Bailan profusely and said that if anything happened in South China, she should come to him for help.

Hearing this, Jiang Bailan was naturally delighted. Having a regional manager looking out for you would save you a lot of trouble.

"Brother Bai Lan, get in the car. I'll take you home, Brother Liao!"

Just as Liao Zhong was about to leave, Jiang Bailan glanced at Chen Duo in the car, wondering why Liao Zhong's death hadn't happened in the original story. However, she didn't take it to heart, assuming that her involvement had changed the plot.

Stopping Liao Zhong, who was about to leave, Jiang Bailan asked, "Brother Liao, have you thought about what Chen Duo wants?"

"Ok?"

Liao Zhong, who was walking towards the car, stopped. A look of doubt appeared on his fierce face. He looked at the obedient Chen Duo in the car, and then at Jiang Bailan in front of him, and said, "What do you want? You should be cured so you can live like an ordinary person."

Seeing the other person's expression, Jiang Bailan shook her head and could only repeat what she had just said to Chen Duo to Liao Zhong, while telling him that what Chen Duo wanted was the freedom to choose.

"I know, I know!"

Upon hearing the other party's reply, Jiang Bailan didn't say anything more and got into the car. Without Ma Xianhong's interference, Chen Duo would probably continue to stay at the company, and there wouldn't be any more surprises.

What Jiang Bailan didn't know was that he underestimated the impact of this incident on Chen Duo, and also underestimated Ma Xianhong's honest nature, so much so that he would have to come to South China again in the future, only that the situation that time was completely different from this time.

Jiang Bailan was unaware that this incident had brought him to the attention of the company's board of directors.

-

Two weeks later.

Under Liao Zhong's meticulous care, Jiang Bailan enjoyed an unforgettable vacation. The luxurious experience he had during this time almost made him and Liao Zhong become sworn brothers.

In short, Jiang Bailan could only describe her two-week vacation in Guangzhou as incredibly enjoyable.

If I had to describe how awesome it was, it would be that the system leveled up three times, from 16% to 19%, and a new attribute was unlocked at the same time.

Devil Fruit Mastery

As the name suggests, it enhances Jiang Bailan's control over the Glint-Glint Fruit's abilities, which greatly satisfies him, as it significantly reduces the probability of errors in his self-created techniques.

Cultivation is no longer an option; I can only rely on the system to make a living.

At the entrance of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, Jiang Bailan boarded the plane back to Tianjin, accompanied by Liao Zhong's words, "Come visit again when you have time."

Meanwhile, Xu Si was also planning how to get Jiang Bailan to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.
