Realm of the Night God

Bai Xue's words left Yang Haoran amused and embarrassed. He took out a tissue and handed it to Bai Xue while quickly apologizing.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself just now. But I don't agree with what you said. If that counts as a kiss, then I don't know how many people I've kissed in my life, and how many people have kissed me." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"Do you often do this kind of thing? Is this a special fetish of yours?" Bai Xue asked with a smile as she took the tissue.

"I don't have any special fetishes. If we follow your logic, then when I eat out and use chopsticks that someone else has used, does that count as kissing too?" Yang Haoran asked with a laugh.

Hearing this, Bai Xue couldn't help but give Yang Haoran a helpless look.

"Sigh, you're such an unromantic block of wood. If you put half of your cleverness into this, even a child could probably go buy soy sauce by now."

As for Bai Xue's words, Yang Haoran just chuckled and didn't seem inclined to continue the conversation.

Bai Xue knew that Yang Haoran definitely wouldn't discuss this issue with her, so she turned the topic back to the previous question.

"Since it's not that she likes you, could it be that you like her? Well, after all, it's you who trusts her, not the other way around, so the possibility of you liking her is greater. I said it the wrong way just now."

"I can't guess it anymore. Don't be coy, just tell me the answer directly. If I keep guessing, I might not get the right result even by next year."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you should still be able to guess it. Oh well, I'll just tell you directly to save you from wasting more brain cells. The reason I trust her is not only because I have a certain understanding of her character, but also because she's under the influence of my Charm Technique."

Hearing this, Bai Xue's red lips parted slightly, showing some surprise.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you trusted her so readily." Bai Xue, having recovered from her surprise, finally had her doubts resolved.

"You've also cultivated the Charm Technique, so you know how powerful it is. No need for me to elaborate." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"The Charm Technique is indeed powerful. It's thanks to it that I can stand firm in the Spirit Police. Even if it doesn't trigger on the first meeting, being in close proximity for a long time will passively trigger it sooner or later. If it doesn't catch you the first time, it will definitely catch you after a few more tries. Now in the Spirit Police, except for a few people, everyone else is under the influence of my Charm Technique."

Bai Xue spoke up, and as a cultivator of this technique, she naturally knew how powerful it was.

Although Bai Xue and Yang Haoran both cultivated the Charm Technique, there were still differences between them. Bai Xue was a demon, while Yang Haoran was human. The power of the Charm Technique was much greater on Bai Xue's body than on Yang Haoran's. Both the trigger rate and the success rate after triggering were higher for Bai Xue.

If Bai Xue didn't wear a mask and revealed her true appearance, then with her peerless beauty, the power of the Charm Technique on her would be even greater.

How powerful the Charm Technique was on Bai Xue, Yang Haoran couldn't determine exactly, but as a cultivator of the technique himself, he could use his own situation as a reference and make a rough judgment.

Yang Haoran had been cultivating the Charm Technique for a few years now, and in that time, the number of people who had fallen under its influence was not small, especially those around him. They had all fallen under his Charm Technique one after another, including Bai Xue. It's just that he hadn't mentioned this over the years.

Yang Haoran didn't feel any guilt about this, because even if someone fell under his Charm Technique, it only made them develop good feelings and trust towards him. Apart from that, there would be no harm, and he would never take advantage of those around him, so he naturally didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

"Zhu Rong has fallen for my technique, although I cannot guarantee 100% that she will not betray me, the possibility is quite low. As long as I, Yang Haoran, treat her well and do not harm her, what reason would she have to betray me? Don't you think so?" Yang Haoran asked Bai Xue with a smile.

"Hehe, Underworld Envoy big brother is right, she indeed has no reason to betray you. However, when did she fall for your technique? Could it be that she has been under your technique for a long time?" Bai Xue asked with a smile.

"No, she has not been under my technique until today. Didn't you notice? At first, when she entered the study room, she was very calm, her emotions unreadable, making it hard to guess what she was thinking. But after a casual joke from me, she changed."

Reminded by Yang Haoran, Bai Xue carefully recalled the situation, and it did seem to be as Yang Haoran described.

"Could it be that she triggered your cultivated technique at that moment?" Bai Xue asked.

"Exactly, when her state of mind was disrupted by my casual joke, that was the moment she triggered my cultivated technique. She is just an ordinary person, so once the technique was triggered, the chance of failure is naturally not high, and that's why she fell for it."

"Hehe, the casual joke was probably deliberately said by Underworld Envoy big brother, with the intention of disrupting Zhu Rong's state of mind, so that persuading her would be relatively easier. But even you didn't expect that she would trigger your technique at that moment, right?"

Hearing Bai Xue's analysis, Yang Haoran couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face.

"Hehe, it seems you are not stupid after all." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"I'm not a fool, do you really think I, Bai Xue, am a complete idiot?" Bai Xue said proudly.

"It seems I was wrong about you in the past. Hehe, do you have any other questions? If not, then let's proceed according to the plan. I promised Zhu Rong that I would help her become the Administration Director today." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

Bai Xue, who was originally feeling proud, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Yang Haoran's words. Thanks for reading—brought to you by M|VL|EMPYR.

"You're so stingy, even when praising me. It wouldn't hurt you to say a few more compliments, would it?"

While saying this, Bai Xue stood up from her seat with a bored expression.

"Alright, I'll go find Zhu Rong now. Don't worry, I'll protect her. As long as I'm alive, no one will be able to harm her."

After saying this, Bai Xue was about to leave the study room, but suddenly she stopped and turned to look at Yang Haoran again.

"Oh, I have one more question." Bai Xue said.

"Hehe, go ahead and ask, don't feel embarrassed." Yang Haoran said with a smile.

"If Captain Luo and Deputy Captain Zhou didn't die this time, and you couldn't persuade them to work for you, their existence would definitely affect your plan. I want to know, if that happens, will you directly kill them in order to ensure the smooth progress of your plan?"

While saying this, Bai Xue still had her usual coquettish smile, but Yang Haoran could feel that she was actually quite concerned about this question.

Yang Haoran's expression didn't change at all after hearing the question. He still had a faint smile on his face as he responded to Bai Xue.

"I can't bring myself to directly kill them. After all, my heart is made of flesh and blood too. Although they can't be considered my good friends, they are still my ordinary friends, and we have no grudges. I really can't bring myself to kill them."

After a brief pause, Yang Haoran continued, "However, my plan definitely can't be hindered by their existence. In order to ensure the smooth progress of my plan, I will definitely find a way to make them leave the Spirit Police team. Only in this way can I ensure the progress of my plan without harming their lives."

After getting Yang Haoran's affirmative response, Bai Xue thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I see, this handling method is indeed good. I'll go find Zhu Rong now, you just wait for my good news."
