"Well…"
"Well…"
Right as Big Watermelon was about to bid farewell, Vivian spoke at the same time. Just like that, two diffident voices sounded in the forest at the same time.
Tsk… Not good!
When Big Watermelon saw that the girl looked like she wanted to say something, he immediately had a bad feeling. He hurriedly rushed to speak before the girl,
"Well, Vivian, we just happened to pass by and thought you were in danger so we acted. But since it was all a misunderstanding and a false alarm, we should get going because we still have something on…"
"You can't leave!"
Feeling as though something was off, Vivian subconsciously shouted before Big Watermelon could even finish speaking. She took a step forward and blocked the two of them.
Watching this scene unfold, Liao Zixuan happily smacked his wolf lips cutely.
Tsk tsk…
He had not expected Vivian to be so smart!
All else aside, there was one good thing about the young lady. Once she agreed to something, the young lady would do her best to complete it.
Liao Zixuan was having fun as a bystander, but as the parties involved, Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat were frightened by Vivian.
When they came back to their senses, they looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.
Oh no!
It was indeed easy to board a pirate ship, but difficult to disembark from it.
This Witch definitely wouldn't let them leave!
Here, the two closed beta testers misunderstood the kind Vivian. The young lady was not unwilling to let them leave. She just wanted them to listen to her request.
There was a strange silence.
The young lady's chest heaved. Oh, wait. It was flat, so there was no heaving.
Ahem.
In any case, she took a deep breath.
You can do it, Vivian!
As long as you lower your attitude, speak sincerely and request nicely, these two kind-hearted people will definitely not bear to reject you!
The little girl secretly encouraged herself.
She had already been fooled by Liao Zixuan into thinking that these two foreigners were very important. She thought how her future unfolds would depend on whether she could get their help.
She hadn't forgotten Liao Zixuan's advice.
For example, one had to get as close to the other party as possible when asking for help. This was the way to close the distance between them. At the same time, one had to keep one's eyes on the other party at all times. After all, eyes were the windows to one's soul. Only by doing so would one be able to make others feel her sincerity. Lastly, one must not panic when speaking, or else it would seem like she was forcing others.
Hence, the scene that followed happened.
Firstly, there was a click.
As Vivian was taking another step toward the two closed beta testers, she coincidentally crushed a small branch that was underfoot.
Then, the little girl did not dare to look elsewhere, afraid that they would think her perfunctory. She evenly stared at the two closed beta testers.
Finally came the most important thing.
Vivian kept Liao Zixuan's warning in mind. Even though the girl hoped that these two foreigners could help her get through this difficult time, she still forced herself to calm down. She couldn't be anxious or impatient when speaking.
Be… gentler, gentler!
"Um… could you two please wait a minute?"
"Just a moment!" The young girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Her eyes revealed a sincere pleading expression, her voice pitiful.
Acting…
Continue acting!
You Witch!
Big Watermelon was already cursing internally. He finally understood what the title of "Witch who liked to disguise herself" that he had "detected" earlier meant.
First, she deliberately closed the distance between them, not giving them any space to escape. Then, she stepped on the tree branch and made a sound. What did that mean?
Didn't she mean that if they dared to move, they would end up like that poor little branch? Finishing them off would be as easy as stepping on a branch for Vivian!
These details can be set aside…
What was the most infuriating thing?
It was her eyes and tone of voice!
On one hand, she was blatantly threatening them with all kinds of hints, and on the other, she was pretending to be pitiful and weak, as if she was really begging someone.
She insisted on staring at them. What was this? This was surely because she wanted to observe the two of them when they were being played by her.
What a sick sense of humor!
Witch!
Witch!!
As expected, all Witches were psychopaths and lunatics. Not one of them was normal. It was too terrifying!
"Um… you. Are you guys listening?"
Vivian looked at the two foreigners whose expressions have been changing constantly after she started speaking. This was especially so for the hunter with the bow, who seemed to have a constipated expression.
The girl's heart was in her throat. Did she mess it up?
That shouldn't be the case, right?
She had clearly done everything seriously according to Black's instructions!
Thankfully, Big Watermelon's reply made Vivian feel relieved.
"Of course, of course! Please speak, Miss Vivian. We've been listening, listening very seriously!" Big Watermelon especially emphasized the word "serious" and put on a very focused look.
Although he was cursing internally, he had to admit defeat when it was time.
And on the other side…
Although the little girl was flattered by the term "Miss Vivian", she was not used to it.
Because she was just a small villager and the term "Miss" was something that only the gentlemen and nobles in the big cities were used to.
As expected of city people from the big city…
Would people of their status really be willing to accept her request?
At once, she became less confident. But now that things have come to this, Vivian could not possibly give up halfway. After a pause, she nervously organized her words and began to plead,
"Well, here's the thing. I urgently need someone to go deep into the woods—"
"No problem!"
What goes around comes around.
This time around, Vivian was interrupted by Big Watermelon before she could finish speaking.
Big Watermelon patted his chest and agreed without even knowing the request. His good friend beside him, the Mage God of Close Combat, did him one better. He had a determined expression on his face that expressed, "I'll do whatever you ask me to do."
Since they couldn't resist, they might as well accept it quickly and leave a good impression.
What was the old saying again?
To fall under a Witch's charm is…
Not embarrassing!
"Ah, this…" The little girl blinked, then looked left and right at these two.
Vivian's face was filled with confusion.
Could Black's methods really be that effective?
But…
She clearly… didn't say anything yet?
At the same time, even though this was most entertaining for the bystanding Liao Zixuan, he did not have the time to be amused by it anymore. Because just as Vivian made up her mind to give her request to the two closed beta testers…
A familiar translucent screen appeared before his eyes.
