Chapter 374 The Choice of Oranges
"You all stay there!" Orange roared, then hung up the soul communication.
Xiao Ye No. 2 and Xiao Ye No. 3 exchanged a glance, both able to sense the impending thunderstorm descending upon the Dao Aodu Building.
"What should we do?" Little Ye No. 2 asked expressionlessly.
Xiao Ye No. 3 rubbed his temples. Although he only had the ability to think and not a real brain, he was still feeling a headache.
Orange is not someone who can be easily fooled, and her insight is extremely strong. Even if the two of them try to hide it, they will soon give themselves away.
Xiao Ye No. 2 is a stoic combat tool who doesn't like to talk and is easily tricked into revealing information by Ju Zi.
While Xiao Ye No. 3 is relatively calm and composed, his assigned abilities are very general and lack any outstanding aspects. When faced with Ju Zi's strategic maneuvers, he also feels that he is willing but unable to do so.
"Why don't we notify Number One? He's the most like the original and is also good at maneuvering," Little Leaf Number Two suggested.
Xiao Ye No. 3 shook his head slightly and said, "Number One is in a precarious situation. Even if Number One is notified, the princess is very likely to find out. If that happens, it could become a major diplomatic problem."
"The princess is just as troublesome as the orange in some ways. Sigh, I don't know why these women would be interested in the real thing."
Xiao Ye No. 3 sighed deeply. The women his main body had offended were all troublesome.
"Then I'll be going now." After saying that, Xiao Ye No. 2 turned around and was about to leave.
As Xiao Ye No. 2 took his left step, he felt a large hand pressing down on his shoulder.
Xiao Ye No. 3 frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Don't even think about leaving me to face this horrific scene alone! We'll die together!"
Xiao Ye No. 2 took two steps with great effort, but the large hand on his shoulder remained motionless, even faintly shimmering with light.
"In terms of time, I was born before you, so I'm your older brother. You should be considerate of your older brother!" Little Leaf No. 2 came up with a reason.
"Come on, Number One said the same thing to you back then, and you ended up kicking him!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 showed no mercy, grabbing Xiao Ye No. 2 by the back of his hand.
"Let go!"
"I won't let you go! Don't even think about leaving me alone to face hell!"
When Orange, draped in a cloak, pushed open the office door, this was the scene she saw.
Two rascal foxes are fighting. One expressionless fox is on top of the other bespectacled fox, their hands gripping each other's clothes, revealing large expanses of snow-white skin.
Xiao Ye No. 2: "(￣ェ￣;)"
Xiao Ye No. 3: "((⊙…⊙))"
Orange calmly closed the door, pulled over a chair, sat down, crossed her legs, and said with a scrutinizing gaze, "You guys continue, just pretend I wasn't here."
After saying that, he casually took out a "Spherical No. 2" device specifically for recording high-definition videos.
Xiao Ye No. 2 threw Xiao Ye No. 3 to the ground and reached out to straighten his clothes.
Although the clone is made of ice, it is remarkably realistic.
"Ahem, what do you want to ask? If I know the answer, I'll tell you; if I don't know, I won't say," said Xiao Ye No. 3.
Orange stood up, walked to Xiao Ye No. 3's desk, took off her gray robe and hung it on the hanger, revealing a soft armor that hugged her curves.
The soft armor had a phoenix pattern on it, which was obviously the uniform of the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Corps. Ju Zi had also arrived in a hurry and had not been able to take off the soft armor.
Sitting in the boss's chair specially prepared by Ye Nanxiao, Orange looked at Little Ye No. 3 with an unfriendly expression. "You didn't tell me that that bastard fox was in trouble."
An invisible pressure emanated from the orange.
Having taken over the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, Ju Zi quickly developed the aura of a corps leader.
"I only sensed this today too. Look, we're already trying to figure out a solution, aren't we?" Xiao Ye No. 3 said, pushing up his glasses.
"It's just speculation. Currently, our senses are being blocked by some kind of force. If something really happened to our main body, we would have already been summoned back."
"Besides, you have to trust your own ability to survive. You may not have many rare metals on you, but you definitely have enough means to protect yourself!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 said, nudging Xiao Ye No. 2 next to him with his elbow.
After hearing Xiao Ye No. 3's explanation, Orange's expression softened slightly, and she frowned as she asked, "Under what circumstances would the connection between that bastard fox and you be severed?"
Upon hearing this question, not only did Xiao Ye No. 3 fall silent, but even Xiao Ye No. 2 frowned.
Ju Zi's words were a question about the shortcomings of Ye Nanxiao's clone soul skill.
Asking a Soul Master about the weaknesses of their Soul Skills is tantamount to exposing your own vulnerabilities to them.
Even the closest friends won't ask questions about matters concerning their own vulnerabilities.
Unless the relationship between the two is exceptionally close, generally only those who are friends who would risk their lives for each other or those who are in love until death will voluntarily expose their vulnerabilities to each other.
Just as Ye Nanxiao always believed in Huo Yuhao, it was a bond of friendship that one could entrust with life and death.
As for Ju Zi, she was merely a close partner of Ye Nanxiao, or, to put it another way, a trusted partner with whom he could proactively expose his power.
Xiao Ye No. 3 and Xiao Ye No. 2 exchanged a glance.
They were merely a magnified representation of one aspect of Ye Nanxiao's personality, not Ye Nanxiao himself, and for a moment they were somewhat unsure of what to do.
Seeing the actions of the two clones, Orange frowned even more, and she suddenly felt a great sense of loss.
"Is it inconvenient for you to tell me?" Orange asked softly.
She knew what the flaws in a soul skill meant to a soul master.
However, she felt that if Ye Nanxiao himself were standing in front of her, he would choose to tell her.
There's no reason needed; Orange just has that confidence.
Orange stood up, walked to Xiao Ye No. 2 and Xiao Ye No. 3, tilted her head slightly, her face expressionless, but her eyes were filled with determination. "That bastard fox will tell me. He trusts me, he trusts me a lot. He can completely entrust his back to me, and he even dared to follow me into the Sun and Moon Palace. He never thought that I would betray him."
"You should have memories; you must be aware of everything that happened back then!"
Xiao Ye No. 3 laughed and said, "That could also be because there is an unbreakable chain of interests between us. After all, the revenge you crave is a major event that runs through your entire life, and it is also the belief and reason for you to live for it."
Xiao Ye No. 2's expression changed slightly, and there was surprise in his eyes, surprised by Xiao Ye No. 3's words.
Saying these words is tantamount to attributing Ye Nanxiao and Ju Zi's relationship to nothing more than self-interest, denying all feelings, including friendship, between them.
Noticing Xiao Ye No. 2's gaze, Xiao Ye No. 3's pupils twitched slightly and moved rhythmically a few times.
Having taken in Xiao Ye No. 3's signal, Xiao Ye No. 2 immediately realized that this was Xiao Ye No. 3's deliberate act.
Sometimes, the relationship that can withstand the test is often the one where the last fig leaf is lifted, which is the most taboo thing and the final test.
Upon hearing Xiao Ye No. 3's words, Orange was immediately overwhelmed with a great sense of loss.
He could never let go of his desire for revenge. From the very beginning, his cooperation with Ye Nanxiao was driven by the goal of achieving that revenge.
From the moment she discovered Ye Nanxiao at Xuan Ziwen's private residence until now, all her actions have revolved around her desire for revenge.
"Whether it's concern or sadness, is it all for my revenge?" Orange asked herself.
My vision suddenly blurred, and my eyes felt wet.
A rascal fox who loves to eat the oranges he conjures himself, a rascal fox who loves to put sacks on things, a rascal fox who loves to slack off and daydream, a rascal fox who loves to lie on rare metals and gold soul coins and become a money-grubber, and a rascal fox who loves the Mingdu snack street.
Ju Zi suddenly realized that she had unknowingly memorized Ye Nanxiao's favorite things and cared about them quite a bit.
Originally, I was after revenge, so it's normal that he would have this image in his mind, right?
If, at that time, I...
No, there are no "what ifs" in this world.
Sadness, joy, pain, regret, and other expressions appeared on Orange's face.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, but they finally rolled down her cheeks, tracing the path of regret on her face.
Seeing Orange shed tears, Little Leaf No. 2 and Little Leaf No. 3 also wisely turned away.
"You did this on purpose?" Little Ye No. 2 said using lip reading.
"If we don't make her understand her own heart, she'll probably end up with the same fate as before. It's a real shame, isn't it?" Xiao Ye No. 3 smiled slightly, his smile somewhat cunning.
"When did you learn those tricks from Number One and Phoenix Eleven? Don't you have enough concubines in your main body?"
"We all have the memories. I just made the decision after analyzing it more carefully. Since we've chosen to learn the secrets of the original body, we must be one of the original body's people," Xiao Ye No. 3 said calmly.
Xiao Ye No. 2 sighed slightly, thankfully he only had one clone.
Orange could understand the meaning behind Xiao Ye No. 3's words.
The weakness of the soul skill is Ye Nanxiao's secret. If you choose to learn Ye Nanxiao's secret, then you must become Ye Nanxiao's person.
But what if, after becoming his woman, Ye Nanxiao forbids her from seeking revenge at all costs?
Orange didn't hesitate for long.
"Yes, I admit that everything I did was for revenge. Ever since my parents were killed in the war, the word 'revenge' has been etched into my life and my heart!" Orange said softly.
"But everything changed quietly when a bastard fox who loves to eat oranges barged into my world. My dark and dilapidated world now has a bastard fox full of flaws. I have told myself countless times that I live for revenge."
"But that damned fox is my nemesis! He keeps ruining my plans! Why should you interfere with my revenge! Why do you think I'd be a good partner! Why, after all this time, do you still think I'm just a partner! Why! Can't I have this damned fox?!"
Orange was still crying, as if trying to let the sorrow in her heart flow away with the tears.
Xiao Ye No. 2 disappeared from the office in a flash, leaving Xiao Ye No. 3 to clean up the mess.
Looking at Xiao Ye No. 3 wearing a disguise mask, Orange seemed to see Ye Nanxiao's face behind the mask.
"I will find you, no matter where you are. You've eaten so many of my oranges, you can't escape!" Orange suddenly laughed.
"If anything really happens to you, everything you have will be mine. I will lead the army to wipe out everything in this world that has wronged you, no matter how powerful the enemy is, I will risk my entire life for you."
Orange reached her left hand to her chest and tightly gripped a necklace at her chest.
It was a rare metal sheet engraved with an orange pattern, its edges polished smooth by the user and carefully inlaid with warm jade, worn as a pendant around the neck.
Xiao Ye No. 3 smiled faintly and said, "Having made your choice, carry your resentment with you and be brave. Once you take the first step, you have enough reason to continue taking the remaining steps."
