Chapter 868: Why Trust
Although Zhu Rong had no time to cultivate in the past, this did not mean she knew nothing. On the contrary, she knew quite a lot.
For example, the soul pill in front of her. Although she had never seen the real thing before, she knew of its existence and what it meant for a newcomer like her.
Feeling the rich pure yin qi emanating from the soul pill, Zhu Rong's eyes lit up, and her expression became somewhat excited. She never expected Yang Haoran to be so generous. She had just agreed to Yang Haoran's conditions, and she hadn't even accomplished anything yet, but Yang Haoran had already bestowed her a soul pill. This made her very excited, and her perception of Yang Haoran also underwent some subtle changes.
"This soul pill is not your salary or bonus, but a welcoming gift from me, your boss. Do a good job and don't let me down," Yang Haoran said with a smile. He then took out two more items from his independent space - a Death God pendant and a bottle of elixir for recovering from injuries.
"The soul pill is a must-have item to quickly improve your strength. As for this Death God pendant, it's for protecting your life. If you encounter an inescapable danger, remember to activate this pendant immediately. It will release a protective barrier to shield you, and I will also sense it and come to your aid in time."
"As for this small porcelain bottle, don't underestimate its value just because of its size. It contains an extremely precious elixir. Even a single drop is incredibly valuable, something many people would love to collect. The value of a whole bottle is immeasurable. But don't be afraid to use it if you get injured. Its value lies in saving your life, not in collection." ThischapterwasmadepossiblebythecommunityatMV|LEM|PYR.
A soul pill alone had already made Zhu Rong very happy, but she didn't expect Yang Haoran's welcoming gift to be just a soul pill. He also gave her a Death God pendant and a precious elixir bottle.
Yang Haoran's generosity made Zhu Rong truly feel his emphasis on her, which also increased her trust in his promise.
At this moment, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, surprising even herself. Although she had agreed to follow Yang Haoran out of necessity, this might actually be the right choice.
"Don't just stand there. Quickly put away these items. Remember to use your Yin spirit power to seal the soul pill so that the pure yin qi won't keep dissipating. Let me teach you how to do that Sealing Technique now."
Zhu Rong didn't hesitate. After thanking Yang Haoran, she first put away the Death God pendant and the porcelain bottle, as she didn't have an independent space and could only temporarily keep them in her pocket, leaving only the soul pill.
For the next period, Yang Haoran spent some time teaching Zhu Rong how to properly use her Yin spirit power, such as sealing the soul pill and other items, as well as how to control Yin spirit power in combat.
For a complete novice, it naturally took some time to become proficient in using Yin spirit power. However, Zhu Rong was quite intelligent. After Yang Haoran's single instruction, she learned most of it, though not yet with complete mastery.
After all this, Yang Haoran did not make any arrangements for Zhu Rong. He simply had Bai Xue escort her back.
The reason he didn't make any arrangements for Zhu Rong was that she had just started following him. At this stage, it wouldn't be quite appropriate to give her a lot of tasks, as it might make her feel that he was using his position to pressure her.
However, this was not the main reason why he did not assign tasks to Zhu Rong. The main reason was that he wanted to see what Zhu Rong would do next and whether she could satisfy him.
Bai Xue quickly sent Zhu Rong back to the Administrative Bureau and immediately returned to the villa. When she returned to Yang Haoran's study room, Yang Haoran had not left the study room but was leaning back in his chair, deep in thought while smoking a cigarette.
Bai Xue's return brought Yang Haoran out of his deep thoughts. He looked at Bai Xue and habitually gave her a faint smile.
"Hehe, if you have any questions, sit down and ask."Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Hehe, it seems that I can't hide anything from big brother Underworld Envoy's eyes."
Bai Xue's voice was charming and bone-chilling. Although she was wearing a mask, one could imagine that her stunningly beautiful face was filled with a seductive smile at this moment.
While laughing, she swayed her waist and walked towards the seat she had sat on before. As she took light steps, the door behind her closed automatically. When she stopped, she had already arrived in front of the seat. After casually setting up a soundproofing barrier, she slowly sat down.
"Big brother Underworld Envoy, you really made me feel suffocated just now. That feeling of wanting to say something but not being able to is really terrible. If I wasn't afraid of causing you trouble, I really wanted to say a few words."
After sitting down, Bai Xue immediately started complaining to Yang Haoran.
"Hehe, you did the right thing by not saying anything. Otherwise, you would have disrupted the rhythm or led the direction astray, affecting my performance. You did very well today. Some things should be suppressed, and you should get used to it."Yang Haoran said with a smile.
"Even if I can't get used to it, I will still obediently suppress it and absolutely won't ruin big brother Underworld Envoy's good plans. It's just that I don't quite understand one thing. Big brother Underworld Envoy, why do you trust Zhu Rong so much and give her so many benefits? Aren't you worried that she might be false to your face but true to your back?"Bai Xue first responded with a smile and then asked puzzledly.
"Hehe, I knew you would ask me this question. Even if I didn't give her so many promises of benefits, she would ultimately still agree to my conditions in the end, because she knows very well that she has no choice. If she doesn't agree, her fate will definitely be the same as Sun Yu's. She is still young and has a lot of ambitions. She doesn't want to die so easily. After all, being alive is better than anything else, so no matter whether I give her promises of benefits or not, she will ultimately agree with me."
"Since I know she will agree with me, I still want to give her so many promises of benefits and even give her some gifts. You can view this approach as a means. Of course, it is also my sincere intention. I want her to feel the sincerity of Yang Haoran and not just deceive her. I don't want her to die prematurely before she can show her talents. That would be too unfortunate."
At this point, Yang Haoran paused slightly, and the smile on his face also became more profound. The gaze he gave to Bai Xue contained a few more mysterious elements.
"As for why I trust her so much and don't worry about her scheming behind my back, one reason is that I have a certain understanding of her character. In addition, there is another very important reason. Hehe, guess what this reason is?"Yang Haoran asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xue thought for a moment and then her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of a possible reason.
"Hehe, I see, so that's how it is."Bai Xue said with a smile.
"Hehe, what is it?"Yang Haoran asked with a smile, then picked up the tea cup in front of him and took a sip of the now cold tea.
"She must like you."Bai Xue answered with a smile.
At these words, the tea that Yang Haoran had just taken into his mouth was directly sprayed out. Bai Xue was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face with Yang Haoran's tea.
Although Bai Xue was wearing a mask, it was not one that covered her entire face but only the part above her mouth. With Yang Haoran's spray, the tea not only splashed onto Bai Xue's mask but also onto her lips.
Bai Xue reacted calmly and did not get angry. She gently wiped the tea off her face and said with a smile.
"Hehe, big brother Underworld Envoy, you sprayed me with tea in the mouth. Does this count as a kiss between us?"
