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

Seeing the slightly stunned expression on the other person's face, Feng Shayan knew that she had not guessed wrong; this guy did indeed have something on his mind.

What about Jiang Bailan?

After only a moment's thought, he decided to continue eating. What worries could possibly be more important than eating?

He is not active in eating and has problems with his thinking.

Seeing the other person engrossed in their work, Feng Shayan paused, surprised that this guy would pretend to be nonchalant after he had exposed his worries.

So she said irritably, "Eat, eat, all you do is eat all day long. Aren't you going to tell me anything? Or have you never considered me a friend?"

Hearing that the other party had gone to such lengths, Jiang Bailan naturally could no longer remain silent, so he said, "Yanzi, I'm doing this for your own good. This matter is too big; it's best if you don't get involved."

Jiang Bailan was not lying; he was genuinely considering the other person's feelings.

Putting everything else aside, just considering his own daily freebies and Feng Zhenghao's carefree attitude, he couldn't drag the other party into this mess.

Jiang Bailan felt it would be simpler if he were facing the company alone. He was confident that he could protect himself no matter what the outcome of the negotiations was.

Of course, these are all superficial issues. If he could master the transformation of his entire body into elements right now, with the power of the Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit, what company or not, wouldn't it be a matter of just a word from him?

Once he masters the transformation of his entire body into elements, he will be in control.

Sniper rifle?

Artillery cluster?

missile?

A big mushroom?

Even if you bring me a space carrier or a spaceship today, it won't make a difference!

In this world where even Armament Haki is nonexistent, Jiang Bailan just wants to shout: Everyone here is trash!

A supreme peak?

Two heroes?

I want to hit 10000!

But that's where the problem lies. Although he has unlocked most of Kizaru's abilities, he is unsure of how much fusion will unlock, which is why he needs to prepare for both possibilities.

While gaining pleasure points to unlock full-body elemental transformation, they also used the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony to showcase their strength and let the company see their power.

However, upon hearing Jiang Bailan's perfunctory explanation, Feng Shayan unusually showed an angry expression and continued, "It's alright, I can ask my father for help, he will have a solution."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Bailan noticed the displeasure in the other person's eyes and a sudden thought struck her. She chuckled and said, "It's nothing, I can handle it myself."

"Heh, stop lying. Can you really handle this? Jiang Bailan, do you know how strange you've been these past two days?"

Jiang Bailan: "???"

I'm confused. How come I didn't know that?

Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation, Swallow!

Jiang Bailan asked, "What's strange about me?"

"Didn't you notice?" Feng Shayan retorted.

Jiang Bailan was even more confused this time. If he hadn't noticed, that would be one thing, but Xu Si should have noticed too. Although Xu Si always tried to make him work overtime, he couldn't possibly not tell him if there was a problem.

Seeing the other person's blank expression, Feng Shayan suddenly realized that the other person was not just bluffing her. This matter must be quite significant, otherwise, how could Jiang Bailan, that lazy guy, not have noticed such an obvious change?

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Jiang Bailan's curiosity was piqued.

That's what you said!

Why are you all the same? You always say only half of what you mean.

Don't you know that saying only half a sentence means you didn't have a mistress when you had a son?

"You really didn't notice?"

I found a ball!

Hey! You know what, he actually found two balls!

Damn it! Jiang Bailan, what are you thinking?! Yanzi is your good brother! How could you have such improper thoughts about her!

The more Feng Shayan acted this way, the more Jiang Bailan felt something was wrong, but the problem was that he had no idea what was wrong with him.

After confirming again, Feng Shayan slowly said, "Haven't you noticed... you've been too flamboyant lately? First, you almost kicked Zhuge Qing to death, and then you smashed the Jia-class stadium in front of everyone. This is completely out of character for you."

In Feng Shayan's memory, Jiang Bailan was the kind of lazy guy who didn't like being famous and even found crossing the street troublesome, so he would drive around to pick him up. How could he possibly act so flamboyantly?

So much so that his fame spread throughout the country, and everyone, whether or not they came to the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, knew about the Bare-Legged War God.

"If once was an accident, could twice also be an accident?"

Jiang Bailan suddenly recalled the old celestial master's questioning that morning, and after being reminded by Feng Shayan, she finally realized her own strangeness.

But he didn't care. So what if it's strange? He was going to come clean anyway.

On the contrary, Feng Shayan's behavior made him feel very strange. Why was this guy paying so much attention to him? He actually knew him better than Xu Si.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Bailan decided to fry a batch of fish.

With the intention of joking and teasing, and also to change the subject, he leaned forward and said to Feng Shayan, who was wearing a white shirt, "Yanzi, you don't still like me, do you?"

This question stumped even the sand gull.

Jiang Bailan didn't ask; she had almost forgotten about it.

Do I like Jiang Bailan?

Like it?

Perhaps it's because I like it.

If you didn't like them, why would you care so much about them, and why would you ask them out to eat every day...?

But why do you like Jiang Bailan?

If her initial decision was due to her father, Feng Zhenghao, after spending some time with him, she discovered that although he had some minor flaws, he was actually a good choice...

This choice wasn't imposed on her by her father; it was something she truly believed in from the bottom of her heart.

Moreover, Jiang Bailan is not without merits; at least he is very strong, and women are naturally drawn to strength, which naturally attracts Feng Shayan.

This may sound harsh, but that's the reality.

As she pondered, Feng Shayan's expression changed.

Finished!

It's over!

Why does the swallow still like me?!

Watching Feng Shayan's eyes gradually change, Jiang Bailan felt no pleasure at being liked. He just felt numb and wanted to slap himself twice on the spot.

Let me fry your fish!

Now look what's happened, the explosion has caused a disaster!

He accidentally discovered a white-haired girl who liked him...

Although the white fur was stimulating... that's not what he wanted!

What went wrong?

What went wrong?!

He even asked the other person to send him a big sword, how could he still fall in love with him?

Jiang Bailan would never do something like giving up an entire forest for the sake of a single tree.

Just as he himself said, he and Fengshayan are only suitable to be friends. How can two parallel trains intersect? If they do, wouldn't it be a train crash?

At this moment, Jiang Bailan had lost even her appetite and hurriedly said, "Yanzi, listen to me..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Feng Shayan had already learned to interrupt: "I understand... let's be friends first!"

Jiang Bailan: "..."

Wind and Sand Swallow: "okk!"

Jiang Bailan: "Yanzi~ listen to me~"

Wind and Sand Swallow: "Tell me how much you love me?"

Jiang Bailan: "..."

Watching Feng Shayan leave for the restroom, Jiang Bailan regretted why she had gone to all this trouble; there was no problem, but she had deliberately created one.

But the system notification that rang in his mind interrupted Jiang Bailan's thoughts, making him forget that Feng Shayan had fallen in love with him again.
