You are all my wings!

……

About two hours later, the deep sharing mode initiated by Leon and Machiru disappeared.

"A ten-hour journey? Considering the fastest and slowest options, I'm definitely still in the capital."

He now has another piece of evidence to prove that he has returned to the capital.

And at that very moment—

With a click, the door opened.

Bai Shaqilai, carrying a sixth-order leather whip, strode in with her slender white legs.

“Don’t blame me, Leon Belon, I didn’t whip you willingly.”

With a crack, the whip fell to the ground.

Leon spun around to avoid it. What kind of trick was this woman up to all of a sudden?

Whipping?

"Not bad, your reaction time is good. This whip is made from the tail of a sixth-tier blood scorpion and the fur of a sixth-tier water-devouring ape. It's covered in hard barbs. One lash and even a sixth-tier monster can't withstand it. Tell me honestly, what future information do you know?"

A look of excitement flashed in Bai Shaqilai's eyes.

Lyon realized that although Baisaqilai's personality seemed seductive, she was actually quite conservative.

Wearing short skirts is just a racial custom.

So, she herself probably wasn't even aware of this excitement.

Could this guy have activated some strange attribute for some weird reason?

"Hey, we can all have a nice chat, why resort to knives and whips?"

Leon picked up Iris and suddenly dodged away.

"Hmph, you're overthinking it, little boy. I could easily torture you to get information, why would I chat with you idly? I was just talking to you on a whim, don't get your stance wrong! You're a prisoner who can't use magic right now!"

Bai Shaqilai's voice was charming and cheerful, and her whipping speed was extremely fast.

"Haha, I get it."

As Leon dodged, recalling what Bai Shaqilai had said earlier, he burst into laughter:

"So, a legendary astrologer like you, capable of predicting the future, is still being manipulated by others to do things you're not used to. I feel so sorry for you. You clearly developed a completely new theory of divination on your own, yet you chose to believe in others' nonsense and do something that will only hasten your own destruction. Do you know that by doing this, you not only have no chance of becoming a demigod, but you won't even be able to cross the threshold of epic status?"

Bai Shaqilai paused, a strange look flashing across her face.

[When the villain Bai Shaqi Lai's favorability reaches 20%, the panel will be unlocked.]

Chapter 368 Leon: You are the real mastermind behind the destruction of the world!

Wait, is Bai Shaqilai holding the villain panel?

In the original storyline, she was clearly just a legendary supporting actress.

Just as he was about to open the panel, Bai Shaqilai lashed out with her whip again.

Lyon dodged again, but this time he couldn't dodge it. The dual-class White Shaqilai was quite agile, and she was already at her limit, managing to dodge several attacks with the help of dual-depth mode and daily combat skills.

The whip was suspended before it struck Lyon.

What did you mean by what you just said?

Did she hold back?

Did that sentence just now offend her?

Lyon's mind raced, and he spoke:

"As a dual-class user, your second class is only one achievement away from becoming a legend, which is why you were making arrangements remotely before, trying to complete some achievements commensurate with a chess master, so as to advance to the second legend level, right?"

Bai Shaqilai's eyes flickered slightly:

"Then how did they know about my second position? I have clearly hidden my destiny; ordinary divination techniques cannot predict it at all."

"It's very simple, because I am a miracle astrologer."

Lyon smiled slightly and continued:

“An astrologer who can predict miracles is worlds apart from an ordinary astrologer like yourself. You didn’t believe it just now and dared not gamble. Are you afraid that I will obtain more information and then reveal your core secrets?”

Bai Shaqilai was taken aback, then sneered: "As a prisoner, you are the first person I have ever seen who is so arrogant. Don't forget your situation, Leon Belon."

Lyon shrugged and said:

"I don't need you to remind me of my situation, but your situation is not so pleasant. After all, what you've been doing is taking you further and further away from becoming an Epic. Do you know that? Not only are you getting further and further away from becoming an Epic, but you're also far from being able to acquire the merits required to become a Legendary in your second profession."

Why can't I get it?

At this moment, Bai Shaqilai intentionally or unintentionally ignored her mentor's warning that she must not listen to anything Leon said other than intelligence.

On the one hand, she didn't believe in superstitions.

Secondly, Lyon's several alarmist remarks did indeed pique her interest.

Although she had serious doubts about Leon's character, she still acknowledged the abilities of the unusually mysterious person in front of her during the divination.

Leon raised a finger, activated his aura of trust, and began to bewitch:

"First, the profession of chess master is a rare profession that originated in ancient times, even rarer than astrologer. You have been able to advance all the way to the sixth rank, so you must have tried some achievements obtained through chess strategies. And these achievements are basically related to demon-slaying and demon-suppressing achievements, right?"

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly.

This is not hard to guess. Anyone who understands the Chess Master class knows that although the class is weak in the early stages, it has strong control abilities.

It's just that because the initial rank is not high enough, it can't control the experts, so it can only control those one rank lower.

Those with weaker abilities can basically only accomplish the task of slaying and suppressing demons.

As for achievements such as governing the country, creating, inventing, or heroic deeds, there was naturally no chance of accomplishing them.

"and then?"

"Then you began your scheme targeting the orc and human kingdoms. If the human and fox-people kingdoms were to weaken each other, or even be destroyed, and the cat-people kingdom were to recover, you would gain the achievement of governing the cat-people kingdom. Not only would your second profession advance to legendary, but your first profession would also have a chance to advance to epic! At the same time, this would also fulfill your grand goals of restoring your kingdom and seeking revenge! You think it's a win-win-win situation. But in reality, once you truly accomplish this, what awaits you is the destruction of the world! And you are the true instigator of the world's destruction!"

Lyon stared at Baisaqilai, his voice calm.

Based on his speculation, Bai Shaqilai viewed him as a thorn in her side and deliberately came to ambush him, probably because he had played a significant role in preventing the war of national annihilation.

It's even highly probable that, according to Bai Shaqilai's divination, her future self has already succeeded.

Otherwise, since Bai Shaqilai had always been accustomed to using intelligence and skills to remotely control the weak to carry out her plans, she wouldn't have had to personally intervene this time.

Bai Shaqilai was slightly surprised that Lyon had so easily guessed her purpose, then frowned: "You're exaggerating. Wars between a few short-lived nations have happened before, how could they possibly lead to the destruction of the world? What kind of cause and effect is this?"

Lyon asked, "Then can you divine the outcome of your smooth promotion after completing your so-called 'achievements'?"

This question stumped Bai Shaqilai. Her pointed pink ears twitched slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she said:

"No astrologer can accurately predict their own future, can't they? We can only glimpse our own destiny by looking at the future of others."

That's the truth.

Astrologers are themselves a huge temporal and spatial node. Because they can obtain information about the future, astrologers have more choices than ordinary powerful people and are more capable of changing different futures.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to predict one's future.

On the contrary, other people's futures are easier to predict because they are relatively more certain.

Lyon pointed at Baisaqilai and said:

"This is your biggest weakness. In fact, even if you succeed in destroying the human and fox kingdoms this time and rebuilding the cat kingdom, what you will obtain is the Dark Poem, which will also pollute the legendary poem you already possess. In your divination, you believe that I am the culprit preventing your advancement, but in reality, it is the opposite. It is precisely because of my existence that you have avoided the result of your poem being polluted by the Dark Poem."

"What is your basis? It's all just empty talk. How can you predict the future with just a few words?"

Although what Leon said seemed to make a lot of sense, Baisaqilai listened to Leon with a critical eye.

Although she ignored her mentor's warning, she wasn't completely disregarding Leon; she kept carefully analyzing him.

As a legend, she believed she had already valued this young, handsome boy in front of her enough.

Yes, in her eyes, Lyon, who was not yet 20, was just a naive young boy.

Lyon noticed that the smile that instinctively appeared on Baisaqilai's face was noticeably less intense than before.

Clearly, she was also considering this possibility.

"There is indeed no evidence for the future."

Leon shrugged and said:

"However, we can use a compromise to confirm... whether Your Excellency has consulted the oracle about Iris's fate?"

As he spoke, he nodded slightly, pointing to Iris, who had already quietly woken up and was listening to the two of them testing each other.

"Of course I've consulted the oracle."

Bai Shaqilai perked up her cat ears and gave a soft snort, saying, "What do you want to say?"

"So, has Your Excellency consulted the oracle and divined that Iris will become my partner and my wife in the future?"

Lyon asked again.

Upon hearing this, Iris blushed and lowered her head.

To ask such a question in the face of a clearly hostile legend.

Bai Shaqilai nodded slightly: "This woman will indeed be one of your many wives in the future."

A mischievous smile appeared on her face. Having just been led by Leon, how could she not retaliate appropriately?

Iris wanted to pinch Leon, but considering that these were the words of an enemy and might be an attempt to sow discord, she chose to glare at Bai Shaqilai instead.

"May I ask you, sir, do I, a person so infatuated with beauty, have any reason to destroy the world? Since I have such a wonderful companion as Iris in the future, why would I want to destroy the world? Doesn't this logic not make sense?"

Lyon asked again.

Beside her, Iris tightened her grip on Leon's hand.

"Logic is logic, but the fact is that you will indeed appear around the core of destruction in the future."

Bai Shaqilai was not convinced, and suddenly chuckled:

"Besides, you have so many wives. Who knows if you've provoked too many powerful women, causing them to accidentally trigger some world-destroying divine treasure? That's not evidence, and even if it is, it's only circumstantial evidence, not conclusive evidence."

Lyon was speechless; this was a question he had considered before.

Theoretically, this is indeed a possibility, but he felt it was unlikely...

"Let me ask you one more question: I am always among the doomsday points you have divined. What about my partner? Is he also among them?"

Bai Shaqilai shook her head: "It's always just you."

Lyon's heart sank. Was it all just him?

Was it because the female characters had all died before that?

Or was something holding them back?

If there were other female leads present, he could have used their information to probe Bai Shaqilai's intelligence and continue deceiving her, but unexpectedly, he was the only one present.

Judging from Bai Shaqilai's expression, she must not be lying to herself about this.

"Now that you can't prove your earlier assertion, let's talk about some other useful information. For example, since you claim to know a lot about the future, how much do you know about the demons? How rampant will the demons be in the future?"

Seeing that Leon had failed to produce convincing evidence several times, Bai Shaqilai lost interest in listening attentively and began to whip her whip again, making a whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

It looks like they could whip Lyon at any moment.

"Speak! From now on, you can only talk about information! You are not allowed to ask any other questions, and you are not allowed to say any other idle talk! If you disobey even once, I will whip you! Now, as a demonstration, I will whip your beloved Iris first, so that you can see just how fierce this demon whip is and how painful it is when it hits you!"

The whip lashed directly at Iris, who was in Leon's arms.

*Smack!*

Just as the whip was about to strike Iris's cheek, Leon turned his head and back, using his back to receive the whip made of a high-grade sixth-level material.

He stumbled forward a few steps as if struck by a heavy blow.

The piercing pain traveled through his skin, but fortunately, because of his previous success with the Monster Muscle Resonance Technique, his muscle resistance had greatly increased. Although the pain was intense, it subsided very quickly and was not as painful as he had initially anticipated.

In addition, although Bai Shaqilai has a high strength attribute, both of her classes are spellcasters and her power exertion skills are not very sophisticated. She clearly did not use her full strength just now.
