Absolute Choice
chapter-436

Mu Lengxi lowered her head slightly. She knew that it could not be her, but she suddenly found it hard to breathe.

So it was not just a simple, favorable impression of him on her part? She felt like she was sinking in warmth and immersed in a pool of honey. She was at a loss when she was inundated by bliss and she did not want to wake up from it.

However, her state of reverie was ultimately shattered ruthlessly by reality. For a girl like her who could not even make a sound, or a dangerous existence that could suddenly explode like a bomb, how could she have the right to revel in the dream she created for herself.

It was impossible that she was his confession target. She did not even have the courage to have such extravagant hopes.

However, she pricked up her ears that she had subconsciously covered to escape that fact. It was a strange dilemma of her not wishing to know, but eager to know as well. Who was that lucky girl that would be the center of envy?

It was not only limited to Sunless or Mu Lengxi. Nearly everyone held their breaths at that moment and pricked up their ears. They were waiting for the sentence the youth had yet to finish.

Before he fought an opponent that had little chance of victory, the outcome of failure could very well be ice-cold death. It was such a moving act to express his love in such a hot, heart-fluttering manner before that happened.

A confession under the watchful gaze of Death symbolized the importance of life and soul.

Then, who was the target of the confession?

At that moment, everyone was waiting for...her name.

The youth slowly opened his lips, as a gentle but deep voice sprang out into sky like a pixie.

"Li..."

The person's surname was revealed at that instant.

To Speechless and Mu Yuesheng, time seemed to come to a standstill. That short instant in time felt like an eternal blistering cold winter.

"That can't be!"

Speechless' body felt a jolt through him as cold sweat broke out on his back. Was that twisted joke he made about to be suddenly inundated by black humor?

Mu Yuesheng's heart leaped. She could not help but flash a scene of two young boys who she respected and idolized in a loving embrace. Then, she thought in agony over whether she should give them her blessings or take up a pitchfork and torch in her hands.

The answer was only revealed from the youth's name after what seemed like a prolonged winter night.

"Dawn."

Everyone was astounded as they could not believe what they had heard.

Li Dawn.

This was her name.

Eh, that's not right!?

Her?

Her...

"Ah!?"

Nearly everyone let out a flabbergasted gasp at the same time!

Dawn Li, this feminine-sounding name was not a girl's name. Instead, it was the name of the expressionless and machine-like blond youth that had injured the Celestial King and killed the new Transcendent King with a single strike.

It's not her, but him!

Was this the love that was meant to transcend everything, including sex?

Everyone was enlightened but they felt like they had just woken from a dream, only to end up in a nightmare.

However, that was not the only terrifying reality!

That was because the youth was not done with his words. He did not wait for everyone to digest the stunning information that he had just revealed. Immediately, he said something even more shocking.

"This King already has a girlfriend, are you willing to be a side hoe?"

The youth's words came to a halt, and it also felt like they had washed away all sounds.

This King has always believed that love can conquer all. This King's love for you transcends age, sex, or even space-time transmigration. And all you need to do is take that tiny step forward. That step is truly simple—Li Dawn, This King already has a girlfriend, are you willing to be a side hoe?

This was a passage with no more than sixty words, but it was a confession filled with information.

After listening to this short confession, everyone's felt like their hearts had been sitting on a roller coaster.

Those that were initially in an envious state over the love that transcended everything had felt that it must have been a pure and grand love, but their reverie was shattered by the sudden name of 'Li Dawn'. Their hearts screamed 'holy shit', but then, they were immediately left stupefied and speechless by the line 'This King already has a girlfriend, are you willing to be a side hoe'.

The world was large, so there was no lack of fascinating matters, but such a wondrous oddity was unprecedented!

Gay?

Bisexual?

Two-timing?

Super scum that would boldly ask a youth of the same sex to be his side hoe?

Was this the same Infernal King that had just spoken such impassioned words!?

"It's completely subversive. The Infernal King is indeed an Infernal King that must be killed by all."

"It can't be? It must be some malicious joke, right?"

"Hey, Commander, should I quickly return and inform the matter to the Infernal Queen? Who knew that His Majesty would..."

"..."

An uproar broke out among the ordinary members of the audience from the three domains. From what they knew, the Infernal King's wife was said to have a beauty that could topple kingdoms. She was known as the number one beauty in the world, but the Infernal King had publicly requested a youth of the same sex to be his side hoe. Although they did not know why the Infernal King would call his wife a 'girlfriend', they could not help but feel disgust over his 'shamelessness'.

Such an Infernal King was too much of a scum!

After a moment of shock, Sunless quickly calmed down. The heavy feeling on her chest gradually disappeared. Her eyes returned to its calm state as she said with great certainty, "He is not such a person!"

When the rookies beside her who were also immersed in shock heard her, they gradually calmed down. The silver-haired girl immediately nodded her head heavily to indicate how she shared the same thoughts.

Liu Yu flicked his whisk and said softly, "From Benefactor Shi Xiaobai's various actions, there is no doubt he has an awe-inspiring righteousness. He has always been a youth with a forthright and innocent heart. This Penniless Priest is unable to tell if there's a problem with his sexual orientation, but he would definitely not say words like 'are you willing to be a side hoe'. He must have his reasons for doing so. That sentence must not be something he truly feels but because he has a motive that we have yet to learn!"

Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin nodded their heads in agreement. "Shi Xiaobai isn't such a person. Furthermore, the Hero King is fake. Shi Xiaobai knows that very well. He must have his difficulties he can't mention."

Mu Yuesheng turned to glance at Speechless. A bitter smile suffused across her lips as she said, "Shi Xiaobai is not like that, but..."

However, there was another youth here that had just come out of the closet and appeared to be giving a covetous look.

Speechless perspired and hurriedly shook his hands, "What I just said was all a joke. Seriously! Actually, not long ago, I encountered a girl I fell in love at first sight. However, after mustering my courage to confess to her, I was heartlessly rejected. Back then, Lengxi was there as well. You can ask her if you don't believe me!"

Mu Yuesheng squinted her eyes and said, "Really?"

Speechless nodded his head crazily, "Really!"

...

As everyone was reeling in shock over the confession, they still had their eyes and focus on the blond youth.

What sort of reaction would the blond youth have against the sudden request of becoming a side hoe by the 'shameless' Infernal King?

Would he turn extremely furious?

Or would he slash out immediately with a sneer?

The blond youth's reaction completely went beyond everyone's imagination. After hearing Shi Xiaobai's 'confession', he remained expressionless. His eyes were cold. His eyebrows did not even flinch, as though he was unmoved by it.

All he did after a moment of silence was ask in a deadpan manner, "What is your goal?"

Everyone was stunned as they fell silent.

Was that blond youth a machine?

Why was he so terrifyingly calm? IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
