Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 600 - 33: Even the Buddhist Deer is No Longer Calm_2

"Tired, I found a quiet place and took a nap," said Bai Shuang with an indifferent expression.

"After saving someone, you just abandoned me and her, on the brink of death, to go sleep?"

"With her there, you wouldn't die," Bai Shuang replied, unconcerned.

Ju Mang watched Tang Xian talking to himself, not expecting that this kind of communication would be directly through speech.

The more she watched, the more interested she became in Tang Xian's brain. She couldn't help but reminisce about the feel of dissecting a human brain.

Tang Xian didn't mind Bai Shuang's coldness; after all, he owed his life to this elder sister deer.

Finally, when the white deer appeared, Tang Xian got straight to the point and said,

"Elder Bai, how did you know I was in danger? Why did you come to save us?"

"None of your business."

These four words brought back that sense of powerlessness Tang Xian had felt during their last conversation.

He suddenly realized that he probably waited in vain; after all, what difference did it make?

This white deer was utterly unreasonable in logic, solving all the world's problems with 'mind your own business'.

Rubbing his temples, Tang Xian realized this was the most troublesome day he had ever had—two bothersome female creatures, plus the iron simpleton in the Pyramid, filled him with a sense of defeat.

"I just believe that there should be value and meaning in doing something. Elder Bai, you saved me, but won't tell me why, which is somewhat..."

Ju Mang also thought Tang Xian's words made sense. She didn't know what Bai Shuang had said, but from Tang Xian's words, she inferred this deer probably didn't like explaining her actions.

However, one would normally state their reasons after saving someone, or at least leave some advice.

In response to Tang Xian and Ju Mang's logic, the white deer answered with just a few words:

"Boring, I felt like it."

"There's an old Huaxian saying, 'Since you've come, you can't leave without a purpose.'

"Oh."

"About the Order invaders in the Human World, the preservation of Baichuan City, Elder Bai, if you know something, please tell me. I think we are not enemies, or else you wouldn't have saved me, right? Given your temperament, the fact that you came to my rescue must mean I am important to you."

"Really?"

"What exactly are the Order invaders? And what's the deal with the Angel Envoy? Are their actions aimed at seeking evolution, or do they have some other, more grandiose plan?"

"Hmm, probably."

Actually, from the moment Bai Shuang said "None of your business," Tang Xian had a premonition of doom.

Now that his premonition had come true, he exhaled a cold breath through his teeth.

Ju Mang wore a strange expression, having watched Tang Xian ask so many questions; she thought there would be answers. It was only when she saw his "this is tricky" expression that she finally understood.

Could it be that Tang Xian talked so much, and the deer didn't answer a single question?

After waiting a while, Tang Xian said helplessly,

"I'll find the answers in my own way; I already have a direction. I've been misled all along, thinking that the top of the Pyramid held some answers, but now it seems the answers are in the mines.

"But Elder Bai, you must want something. So, I hope that at some critical moments, you can lend me a hand."

Tang Xian had witnessed Bai Shuang's strength, the real Absolute Defense. Such an ally would mean being able to withdraw calmly from any battle.

The white deer, which usually treated all beings as nothing, this time glanced at Tang Xian but didn't answer his question.

It just moved a bit closer, as if sniffing something.

Tang Xian was puzzled.

"The tastiest fish are not from here. Now, in the height of autumn, the shad in the river are at their best," Bai Shuang continued.

Tang Xian knew this fish was not to be found in the Pyramid. Even in ancient times, it was nearly hunted to extinction due to its extraordinarily delicious meat.

The many bones in shad were always a regret for food lovers, but its exceptional meat quality still made it one of the top ingredients in river delicacies.

In a world without humans for hundreds of years, there might indeed be a new generation of shad.

However, they would be found in the great river, far from here. Even Tang Feiji would need to fly for several hours to get there.

And this topic shift was really strange.

Tang Xian looked at Bai Shuang in surprise.

Shuang continued, "If you make soup, you must choose water as carefully as tea. Pukaki Lake on the South Island of New Zealand is a glacial barrier lake with crystal-clear water. Or Jenny Lake in Wyoming, the water quality is equally clear and transparent."

"Wait, Elder Bai, are you hungry?"

"Although the fish here don't compare to what I want, they were released by me into the streams years ago to be eaten. But using the tastiest fish for a simple roast is a waste," Bai Shuang explained.

Tang Xian thought that it wasn't easy for this deer to say so much.

Could it be that the smell of the roasted fish on him and Ju Mang made this white deer think they wasted good food?

Suddenly energized, he said, "If you want to talk about this, then I'm not leaving. But you're a deer... why are you so particular about food?"

Tang Xian wasn't surprised that deer ate fish.

Researchers in ancient times had corrected the record: animals like sheep and deer, which the public viewed as herbivores, actually ate meat too.

In Canada, scientists had once captured some birds and bats in safety nets, intending to study them and then release them. But then, a group of deer came along, approached the nets, and started eating live birds.

Even the scientists were startled; deer seemed to not turn down any flesh that didn't struggle, such as fish, dead rabbits, and even the internal organs of other dead deer.
