What’s wrong with the dream world!

"I never imagined that this federal commander would have a daughter who also possesses the same fate. I also never imagined that he would treat his own daughter as a weapon that only needed to be polished."

"Even for a warmongerer, this is truly worse than a beast!"

Yu Xiu De did not comment on Xu Yuanjie's sharp criticism of Liu Liangrui, but just ate in silence.

Although it is certainly outrageous that the [Warmonger] used his daughter as a weapon, the [Ruler] was no less evil when he was a child... The difference between the two is that the [Ruler] has no malicious intent.

The little girl Yu Xiude met at primary school truly believed she was born to rule the world...

Maybe you still think so even now.

But then again, what is the current situation of Xu Yuanjie's parents?

Is it still the same as before?

Yu Xiu De was a little curious, but he did not ask any questions rashly. Instead, he continued to listen silently to Xu Yuanjie's almost soliloquy.

……

"If my child is born under this fate, I will definitely raise him or her well."

"...No, that might be a misunderstanding. Even if they don't have the destiny, I will try my best to cultivate them into an excellent person."

……

"Why are you talking to me about this?... This food is really delicious..."

Yu Xiu De, who was concentrating on eating, did not say anything. The relationship between him and Xu Yuanjie was not good enough for them to chat casually.

At this time, Yu Xiu De would no longer fall into one of the three major illusions in life: "She likes me", but how could he, with his deep emotional intelligence, really not understand the hints in Xu Yuanjie's words?

He just suddenly realized that perhaps these hints were also intentional by Xu Yuanjie.

Your old classmates may still not give up on "dominating" you.

She just changed her method, trying to use "love" to capture me, and then half-force me to join the pirate ship, contributing my strength to her ambition!

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 176: Repaying Kindness with Revenge

Within twenty minutes, all the delicious dishes were served with the waiter's stiff but efficient service.

Xu Yuanjie seemed to realize that Yu Xiude had no intention of chatting with her, so she also started to eat without saying much, only occasionally commenting on the dishes.

After the dishes were served, the former federal commander stood straight, like a figurine being manipulated by invisible hands, with a dull look in his eyes, fixed in the posture of a waiter waiting.

While Yu Xiu De seemed to be eating quietly, he was actually secretly observing Liu Liang Rui's condition.

Xu Yuanjie would not have been able to control someone like Liu Liangrui, whose mind was so distracted that he couldn't even dream.

Moreover, the stiff movements of the two men in black before entering the restaurant were also very strange. Yu Xiu De still remembered that he and Xu Yuanjie went to elementary school together.

At that time, there, the primary school students studied hard, the teachers taught diligently, the cafeteria lady never flipped the wok, and the principal spent all his money on repairing toilets, replacing desks, and installing air conditioners instead of replacing the big stone at the school gate...

At that time, Nightmare initially had no vision of "power" and was not like now, where one could immediately detect the silver-white chains that were ready to move. Moreover, both teachers and students in that school behaved very naturally, but were just too positive.

Before Xu Yuanjie took action as a child, Yu Xiu De thought that Guan Wei Zhong had finally grown up and found him a good school with such a good atmosphere.

……

"Their behavior doesn't seem like they're being controlled mentally, nor does it seem like she's using the abilities of other fate holders. Instead, it's more like they're controlling their movements, micromanipulating them personally..."

It is more like controlling a puppet rather than commanding people's minds to make them do things.

It sounds like a waste of effort without achieving better results, like an amateur guiding an expert, but Yu Xiu De is not naive enough to think that his old classmate, who is arrogant by nature, has not made any progress over the years.

What if this is an extension of the [Dominator]'s ability?

She can even control a vegetative person whose mind has been destroyed to move, so what about the dead who have completely lost consciousness... or even dead things that have never lived?

……

Xu Yuanjie had no idea what Yu Xiude was thinking at the moment.

Just when the two of them had almost finished eating, she wiped her mouth elegantly with a napkin and suddenly mentioned the daughter of the former commander-in-chief of the Federation.

"Speaking of which, what are you going to do about your unlucky yet lucky neighbor?"

She still had a smile on her face.

Before using the [Warmonger] to "destroy" Liu Liangrui's mind, she had used the [Reader] and the [Recorder] to save a backup of Liu Liangrui's memory, and roughly understood that the fate of the daughter of the federal commander was [Curser].

Hearing that Xu Yuanjie was finally going to talk about business, Yu Xiu De put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and his eyes were as calm as water.

"If I say it's none of my business, what will you do?"

"Of course I recruited her into my team."

If an ordinary person dares to answer a question with a question, not only will he not get an answer, but Xu Yuanjie will also deprive him of the ability to ask questions from now on.

But the person sitting across from her at the table and asking the question was Yu Xiu De, so Xu Yuanjie kept smiling and shared her further plans with Yu Xiu De quite frankly.

"If you don't mind, then I will 'dominate' her and blame her for Liu Liangrui's death."

"At the same time, I will trick the members of the [Everyone's Morality Committee] into knowing Liu Liangrui's attempt to kill his wife and daughter, allowing her to be pardoned. I will then present her as someone who has fought tragedy since birth and ultimately triumphed."

"There's a faction in the military right now that's quite hostile to those with this fate. They're just a bunch of clowns, and their ability to bark and howl comes only from a single person with this acquired fate. But they're still qualified to be a pawn in my plan, which I can't tell you about yet."

"A Curse Master who killed a Warmonger, a person with a natural life force who lived as an ordinary person for many years, and the daughter of the Federation Commander... this still has some appeal to those ignorant mad dogs."

Having said that, the federal commander on the side stiffly poured a cup of fragrant hot tea for Xu Yuanjie, then walked to Yu Xiu De and poured another cup for him.

There was no additional reaction during the entire process.

Yu Xiude didn't touch the tea, and murmured in his heart:

"Is there still a faction within the military that discriminates against those with destiny?... It seems that Liu Liangrui has truly failed in his duties as the Federation's commander..."

As for the "domination" that Xu Yuanjie mentioned, he was not surprised. After all, this was very much in the style of a ruler, and he would take advantage of what should be taken advantage of.

"Then I still hope that she will be dealt with normally."

"She will go to the federal government to register her information in six days. During this time, I will ensure that she can control her abilities and does not lose control and cause trouble for you."

After getting the expected answer, Xu Yuanjie raised her teacup to cover the corners of her mouth, which were becoming smaller and smaller.

"I see what you mean, no problem. But I'm curious, why did you help her? I remember you weren't one to meddle in other people's affairs."

Yu Xiude didn't notice that Xu Yuanjie's smile faded. He turned his head to look at Liu Liangrui and said calmly:

"Because he disturbed my sleep."

Is that all?

Xu Yuanjie took a sip of the tea. The originally fragrant high-end tea tasted a little bitter when it went into her throat.

Although she didn't think her lover would fall for a weak and useless woman, and she also looked down on Zhu Yajing, a useless person who could only seek help from others, she was still a little unhappy and uneasy.

Killing Liu Liangrui is understandable, but helping Zhu Yajing register and adapt later is not something Xu Yuanjie can understand.

Just like Xu Yuanjie couldn't understand why No. 6 was labeled as "the most gentle person in the world" in No. 13's memory.

gentle?

Nightmares are never gentle!

He is the same type as me... He likes to impose his own ideas on others...

In order to hide her uneasiness, Xu Yuanjie half-jokingly stretched out her tone:

"Oh? Isn't it because you have a crush on your neighbor?"

She hid her emotions so perfectly that Yu Xiu De felt that Xu Yuanjie's initial confession was just a means to capture him.

"I just feel sorry for her."

His tone was still calm, and it was even difficult to hear much emotion in it, but Xu Yuanjie could tell that he was serious.

It is not uncommon to find people with the “language” domain in their destiny.

"But what may seem like insignificant help to you may actually earn your neighbor's love."

Xu Yuanjie said this with a forced smile, and before Yu Xiude looked at her again, she picked up the teacup, put it to her lips as if naturally, closed her eyes, and took a sip.

Then, she heard Yu Xiu De's calm words, which contained a hint of confusion.

"I helped her so much without asking for anything in return, so why would she repay me with hatred?"

"Not satisfied yet?"

The Silence of the Lambs: Chapter 177 Surprise!

"Cough...cough..."

Xu Yuanjie moved the teacup next to her lips to the side, leaned forward slightly, lowered her head a little, covered her lips with her other hand, and coughed lightly.

Now I understand and feel relieved.

"I thought he had changed a lot over the years, but he's still the lover I'm familiar with, the same self as me..."

Thinking of this, she put down the teacup, picked up the white napkin, wiped her mouth, wiped her hands, and apologized to Yu Xiu De.

"I'm sorry for letting you see my gaffe."

However, Yu Xiu De could not feel the slightest apology from the bright smile on Xu Yuanjie's face.

"...Did I say anything funny?"

Yu Xiu De's voice was a little cold.

Even a clay figure can get angry. Xu Yuanjie's cough seemed very artificial to Yu Xiude. She choked on the tea as if she was deliberately mocking him, and she was afraid that he didn't know.

I really don't understand what's so funny.

A person feels sorry for another person and helps that person to lighten the burden, but the person being helped tries to lie on the helper's back. Isn't this ingratitude?

Nightmare felt that what he said was completely correct!

If the ruler is choked by his own words, then there must be something wrong with the ruler's thinking!

……

"You're not saying it's funny, I just thought of something funny."

Noticing that Yu Xiude's mouth corners turned down a little, Xu Yuanjie quickly waved her hand, but still couldn't hide the smile on her face, and said happily:

"However, while your neighbor may deserve your pity now, she may not be in the future. She is the current Curse Master, and her fate alone sounds filled with negativity."

"You've helped her so much. A little girl like her might develop a secret crush on you. And throughout history, there are countless legends about curses of love... What if she insists on repaying you with hatred?"

"Then I will take back the goodwill that was trampled upon and make her pay for it."

Yu Xiu De spoke in a low voice and looked at Xu Yuanjie deeply, with a hint of warning in his tone.

"I'm not a master of the spiritual realm, so I can't tell whether feelings are genuine or fake, but I can at least see through their actions and understand that often, verbal love is just a cover for their own selfish desires."

"Foolish, blind, and inconsiderate good is evil."

"Love that is not accepted and yet persists is hatred."

"I won't buy into other people's emotions and feelings. Likewise, for those who want to take advantage of me through their emotions..."

Looking at Xu Yuanjie who was still smiling across the table, Yu Xiude paused.

If the relationship between the two was tense in the past, Nightmare would still dare to speak harshly even if he didn't know whether he could defeat the current ruler, because he knew that showing weakness to the ambitious and willful ruler was basically tantamount to surrender.

But now, Xu Yuanjie seemed to have changed a lot, and the relationship between them was no longer as tense as when they were young. Moreover, he had indeed received a lot of help from her recently, so it would not be good to blame her for something else...

Perhaps for Xu Yuanjie, controlling others is like Fang Xuemu's servility, which can only be restrained but cannot be changed. After all, she is a person with a natural destiny. Changing the original coercive domination to a more "gentle" domination using emotions is already the limit of kindness she can show.

Except for yourself, the thinking of people with this natural personality is different from that of ordinary people, so you should be more understanding.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiude reorganized his words and said in a less harsh tone:

"I also hope to give up this idea soon."

Yu Xiu De felt that his ambitious old classmate must not have given up her childhood dream of ruling the world. As she was already a pillar of the Federation, her goal now should be to become a permanent member of the board.

He was unwilling to become the cornerstone supporting the other party's ambitions.

But he was even more reluctant to owe the other party a favor.

"If you want me to do something, just be frank. I still owe you a favor. Even if it's within my capabilities and principles, how do you know I won't agree if you don't tell me?"

"I told you this a long time ago, but you didn't agree, my love..."
