Chapter 32 - Affordable Poison

"Will the death of one of the male leads cause me any issues? I'm assuming it shouldn't because the second male lead was added only recently as a result of the elevated difficulty level."

"...."

The ugly chick didn't know how and when his host became so smart. Wasn't the man a homebody and boring? Just how did he turn out to be so freaking smart?!

Before he could open his mouth and speak up his words, the man waved his hand and said, "Go away. I have to watch and enjoy a fight."

He had originally expected the two men to fight their hearts out, but as he looked over, contrary to his expectations, the two of them were shaking hands. He frowned as he felt like something was wrong.

On other hand, the devil lord, who had successfully convinced the wolf that they would kill the human, just not now, sighed in relief.

Being the person who had lived for a long time, he knew exactly what kind of thoughts that human might have. He actually wanted the two most powerful people to fight and have one of them dead.

Although the devil lord still didn't know why this human was probably feeling this way, he assumed that the human might just be someone who likes darkness a bit more than ordinary beings. Since he could get enchanted by the rain of blood and bones, he would also like to see bloodshed.

Why would that petty human need a reason to have the two of the most powerful beings on the planet Earth fight?!

Of course, Gao Wen didn't speak those words and revealed his theories outright. He sugarcoated his words and made the wolf believe that the human was after his life, trying to get rid of the wolf to break the bond.

Being an already angry wolf, Huang An got furious and wanted to kill the human right now. But…

"You can't." Gao Wen felt the corner of his lips curving up as he said, "Let's trick him, shall we?"

"How?" Huang An raised his brows and looked at the devil lord, who finally looked pleasing to the eye.

"Well," Gao Wen smiled as he said, "He is too bold. Let's challenge his boldness, shall we?"

"Again, I'm not getting a single thing." Huang An grunted in his wolf form as he glared at the devil lord and said, "Aren't you just bluffing your way out and fooling me?!" The wolf came closer as traces of saliva leaked from the corner of his canine, which looked extremely dangerous. "Because if you are, I can eat you right here, right now."

Gao Wen smirked as he raised his hand and patted the wolf's head as if patting a little brother or something and said sarcastically, "Sure, go ahead and try me. But before you can even howl, you'll be dead. Either accept my proposition or die. Your choice."

Huang An continued to glare at the other as he finally backed away, saying, "I can kill you any second of the day, but I'm more interested in the proposition you have."

"Good."

The two talked secretly, and their voices were so low that not a single whisper could be heard by Chen Ming.

The latter, however, was shocked seeing these turn of events.

Weren't these two on one another's neck, ready to bite off each other's heads right off the bat?! How could they act like close friends just a second later?!

Just what the heck was happening?!

Chen Ming continued to stare as he frowned. A few seconds later, the werewolf transformed back into human, of course, all naked as he was thrown a pair of clothes by the devil lord. The two immediately sat on the front seats with Gao Wen driving the car.

None of them talked, making Chen Ming squirm on his seat uncomfortably. He didn't know what the two of them talked about, but something was brewing, and he knew it.

But he didn't want to ask about it. Since the two of these ruthless b*stards had planned for something, he wasn't afraid. In fact, he would like to prepare for giving back most terribly.

The corner of his lips curved up as he cleared his throat and asked his system, "Hey, ugly chick, how many points do I have?"

"Over five hundred."

"Huh?" Chen Ming raised his brows in surprise. He got so many points just like that? Maybe it was because he fulfilled one of his missions successfully, but….

"What's the eligibility of getting points?"

"Host, it's based on how close you are close enough to finishing your mission. The first mission is already 5% down the line while you have successfully implemented the second mission, getting you the number of points you have for now." The ugly chick shrugged. "But if you somehow reach below zero, you will die."

"And when were you going to tell me?" Chen Ming narrowed his gaze as he stared at the ugly chick sitting beside him with a guilty look on the latter's face.

"I just told you, didn't I?" The chick scratched the back of his neck and said, "Anyways, do you want to go shopping?"

"Yes please." Chen Ming's lips curved up as he relaxed and pointed his chin arrogantly at the thing sitting beside him. "You scroll the dashboard for me."

The ugly chick started to pull out his tablet and scrolled. When he finally realized he was being led around the nose as a servant, his non-existent fur stood on the end as he hissed, "Am I your slave or something?!"

"Yes." Chen Ming was cool about it as he said, "Your fate depends on me. So you have to serve me with all you have. Any questions?"

"...."

The ugly chick obediently started scrolling through the items as he selected a few that would be good enough for his host. Then he showed the screen.

"Look, we have got a love potion, poison that can make you freeze, poison that can render you speechless (literally), poison….."

"Purchase all the poisons that are affordable."

"Okay." After making the purchase, the ugly chick raised his head and said, "I'm done."
