Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane!

1853 Tell the Truth

Meng Chao’s expression became increasingly unpleasant. All of a sudden, he reached out and grabbed Lu Siya’s wrist.

“What did you tell my parents?”

“Did you give them a false impression of our relationship?” he said in a deep voice.

“You’re hurting me!”

Lu Siya’s face was pale, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

Right then, Meng Chao remembered that her spirit meridians had been severed and that she had lost all her martial arts. She would temporarily or forever be a normal person who did not even have the strength to truss a chicken.

He snorted and released Lu Siya’s wrist. “You lied to them?” he asked coldly.

“Meng Chao, I’m incredibly disappointed in you.”

Lu Siya bit her lip and said, “You can doubt my stand, but you can’t insult my intelligence. Do you think I need to lie to your parents about our relationship to get their approval and blessing?

“I’ve just been telling the truth and doing what I can.”

“What do you mean by ‘telling the truth?'”

Meng Chao frowned. “What do you mean by ‘doing what you can?'”

“I told your parents the truth about our relationship.”

Lu Siya spread her hands and said, “I told them and your sister that we were close comrades who had gone through life and death together. We saved each other’s lives countless times.

“I also told them that due to our double baptism in the Red Radiance Jade and Blue Origin Crystal mines, our vitality magnetic fields formed a magical bond. We could stimulate our vitality magnetic fields in the same training cabin simultaneously, and the efficiency of our training was five or even ten times higher than that of others.

“I also told them that even if everyone thought that you were dead, I would never accept it. As long as your corpse didn’t appear, I would wait for you no matter what and find you.

“In addition, I told them not to worry about the future. I would take care of the two elders and your sister like they were my family. I would do my best to inherit your last will and develop Superstar Company into the largest and most outstanding mega corporation in Dragon City. At the same time, I would try my best to prevent Superstar Company from making the mistakes that the nine mega corporations once made. I would always remember your original intention and fight for the thousands of ordinary citizens who formed the foundation of Dragon City’s civilization.”

“So, let me ask you, which sentence or word do you think is a lie?

“If you have evidence at all, show it to me. If you’re merely worried, you can keep an eye on me twenty-four hours a day and see if I keep my word for the next ten years, twenty years, half a century, or even a century of my long life!”

This was true.

Meng Chao reasoned that based on Lu Siya’s logic, even if she turned all of Dragon City’s people into half-human, half-beast monsters one day, it would be for the good of the ordinary people. That was the only way they could increase their combat strength and have the ability to protect themselves from all external forces and people in power. This was completely in line with their interests.

Furthermore, if ordinary people did not resort to the most intense means to improve their combat ability, they would not be able to fight back when the apocalypse came. However, this was under the premise that Lu Siya’s logic was not wrong or a lie.

“Right. Last year, I worked too hard and felt incredibly depressed when I was alone. Also, I was driven out of the Lu family and was all alone. Most of the time, I could only go to your house to get free food. Your parents were very concerned about me. Your mother vaguely hinted quite a few times that you were probably dead and that I didn’t have to wait any longer and waste my precious youth on an illusionary hope.”

Lu Siya continued. “Your mother wanted me to get over you as soon as possible. She mentioned that she knew some young talents who were starting from scratch. They were very outstanding and honest children from good families. She asked me if I wanted to meet them, have tea, and have a chat.

“At that time, I told her clearly that unless you were the groom, I would never get married in my life. If you died, I would be ‘Dragon City’s bride’!

“Your mother was shocked when she heard that. From then on, she never said anything about introducing a partner to me. She only treated me better, cared about me more, and felt sorrier for me.

“By the way, I want to make it clear that I didn’t give them a false impression about our relationship.

“I told them very clearly that your feelings for me were not as passionate and intense as mine for you. Perhaps, in your eyes, we were simply comrades. Even if we were to face each other in the same narrow training cabin, you wouldn’t even glance at me, and you wouldn’t have any distracting thoughts.”

“We’ve never ‘opened our hearts’ to each other!

“And we were both clothed!” Meng Chao argued.

“Really? Think about it again?”

Lu Siya looked out of the corner of her eyes. “Back then, our training clothes would be soaked with the genetic medicine, and we all activated our enhanced vision.”

Meng Chao was speechless.

“What the hell are you trying to do?” He changed the subject.

“To carry on the career you left behind and stand on the ordinary citizens’ side. For that, I didn’t hesitate to break away from my family.

Lu Siya continued. “Also, every now and then, I would go to your parents and ask about their well-being. I would treat them like I was their daughter, massage their backs and shoulders, tutor your sister in her homework, help her in her cultivation, and so on.

“Even if you don’t believe me, you should have some faith in your parents and sister. They’re not fools. They can tell whether a person is sincerely good to them or has ulterior motives.”

“But at that time, you still weren’t a wild banshee.”

Meng Chao was in disbelief, and his tone was cold.

“Everything is for survival.

“To survive, life can evolve into either enormous, ferocious Apocalyptic Beasts or weak but indomitable grass.

“For survival, life forms can swallow and compete with each other by any means possible, but they can also cooperate with each other and form a solid symbiotic relationship.

“The monster civilization once tried to use the first method to fight the Dragon City civilization, but they suffered a tragic defeat.

“Since that path didn’t work, the monster civilization can only change its mode and try to engage in a symbiotic relationship with us.

“This is life. Life will always find a way.”

“Wait, you’re still lying.”

Meng Chao caught a loophole in Lu Siya. “You just said that if I never came back, you wouldn’t get married for the rest of your life, and you’d become ‘Dragon City’s bride.'”

“To be honest, I don’t believe it.

“What’s going to happen if I actually die?

“If I die, you’ll be the tenth Supernatural Entity, the wild banshee. You’ll be the monster mastermind in a completely new form. Your body stores the monster civilization’s huge gene pool, so you’ll definitely think of a way to duplicate it endlessly!”
