LRAB Chapter 440 New Fairy Seed
Chapter 440 New Fairy Seed
Facing Lily's hostile questioning, the wheelchair slowly turned around.
Black Rose's originally beautiful face came into everyone's sight, but compared to before, her face looked paler and more haggard.
Although her physical condition did not look good, Black Rose still had that signature smile on her face.
She spoke in a playful tone.
"Oh my, why are you talking like that?"
There was a hint of mocking sarcasm in Black Rose's voice.
"We haven't seen each other for such a long time. Sayuri, don't you welcome me as your old friend at all?"
Her tone sounded very intimate, as if she was joking with a good friend she hadn't seen in years.
"I came all this way to see you. It's not nice to treat a guest like this."
While Black Rose was speaking, she also deliberately made an aggrieved expression, which looked quite cute.
However, facing Black Rose's seemingly friendly attitude, Lily's expression became even more indifferent and impatient.
She sneered rudely.
"welcome?"
Lily's tone was filled with sarcasm and hostility.
"Don't be ridiculous, Black Rose."
She paused and continued in a sharper tone.
"Although we all belong to the Apostolic Order, our research philosophies and ultimate goals have been completely different from the very beginning."
Lily's eyes became sharp, and she was obviously very dissatisfied with Black Rose's sudden visit.
"Besides, didn't we make it clear a long time ago?"
There was clear impatience in her voice.
"You study your fairy subject, and I'll experiment with my disaster beast project."
Lily continued in an almost commanding tone.
"We owe nothing to each other, and we don't interfere with each other. We each carry out our own research work."
There was a strong sense of rejection in her words.
"So please leave here now. You are not welcome here."
Lily's last words were spoken very directly and coldly, leaving no face for Black Rose at all.
Hearing Lily's blunt and sharp rejection, everyone present could feel the tension and awkwardness in the atmosphere.
Lily's words were filled with strong rejection and hostility towards Black Rose, an attitude that was somewhat surprising.
However, perhaps because Shiloh had seen the strange reaction of the Dream Disaster Beast when it transformed into the Black Rose in front of Lily, she had a different understanding of the relationship between the two.
Listening carefully to the tone of Lily's words just now, Shiloh could vaguely hear a very subtle emotion.
That tone sounded more like...
A kind of resentful feeling?
It's like the complex emotions after being betrayed or abandoned by a loved one, with anger, unwillingness, and some inexplicable attachment.
This subtle change in tone makes Shiloh realize that the relationship between Lily and Black Rose may not be as simple as it seems.
There may be some more complex and deep-seated entanglement between them, which obviously cannot be explained by simple competition among colleagues or differences in ideas.
Realizing that there might be some unknown historical grudges between the two, Shiloh wisely chose to remain silent.
She kept her mouth shut obediently, with no intention of interrupting or joining the discussion.
On the contrary, Shiloh acted as if she was ready to watch the show, intending to quietly observe the confrontation between the two women.
After all, this level of internal conflicts and personal grudges is indeed not suitable for outsiders to interfere.
At the same time, the little fox in Shiloh's arms also showed an attitude of watching the fun and not minding the trouble.
Her lively eyes moved back and forth between the lily and the black rose, as if she was watching a wonderful theatrical performance.
The little fox even deliberately adjusted his posture in Shiloh's arms, taking a more comfortable viewing position, and watching the show silently with a better attitude.
……
Facing Lily's direct and cold rejection, Black Rose's expression showed no embarrassment or shame. Instead, she revealed an even brighter smile.
She was not affected at all by Lily's bad attitude.
Instead, he showed a relaxed attitude of not caring at all.
Black Rose even deliberately made an indifferent gesture, appearing to not take Lily's threat seriously at all.
"Oh, it doesn't matter if I'm not welcome."
There was a distinct sense of shamelessness in Black Rose's voice, and she had absolutely no intention of leaving.
"Anyway, I don't believe you can really drive me away."
Her tone became even more rogue, and it was obvious that she was determined to stay here.
"Besides, look at what I'm like now."
Black Rose deliberately patted the armrest of her wheelchair and put on a pitiful look.
"I am now a disabled person with partial paralysis."
There was a distinctly coquettish tone to her voice, as if she were using her condition to gain sympathy.
"Sayuri, are you really willing to kick out a poor disabled person like me in such a rough way?"
While Black Rose was speaking, she also deliberately made a pitiful expression, looking quite innocent.
"If this gets out, what will others think of you?"
Her rogue behavior made everyone present feel speechless and helpless.
Hearing Black Rose's shameless words,
Lily's attention was finally diverted to the wheelchair at the other person's feet.
Before, she just took a quick glance and did not carefully observe Black Rose's physical condition.
Now looking closely, Black Rose did show some signs of physical weakness.
Her face was much paler than before, and her whole demeanor seemed a little listless.
And judging from the way she sat in the wheelchair, it did seem like she had lost sensation in her lower body.
Lily frowned slightly after realizing that Black Rose might have been seriously injured.
There were some subtle changes in her eyes. Although they were still full of hostility, there seemed to be a hint of complex emotions.
However, when Lily spoke, her tone still retained that harsh and sarcastic feeling.
There was even a slightly sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Oh? From what you said."
Lily's voice was filled with obvious mockery.
"Isn't your wheelchair some kind of decoration or prop for showing off?"
She continued in a deliberately exaggerated tone.
"That's perfect. I'm very curious now."
Lily's eyes became sharper, and the sarcasm in her tone became more obvious.
"Just what kind of powerful person could beat the apostle of our great Apostolic Order, Lady Black Rose, into paralysis?"
She paused and continued in that sarcastic tone.
"If I have the chance, I must make good friends with him."
Lily's words were full of malicious sarcasm, and she was obviously gloating over Black Rose's misfortune.
"Maybe we can become good friends."
Her words sounded particularly harsh and nasty, with no sympathy for her colleague's misfortune.
Lily's sarcastic words sounded really harsh, and almost any normal person would feel angry or hurt after hearing them.
however.
After hearing this, Black Rose did not show any sadness or anger.
On the contrary, she still maintained that relaxed and cheerful expression, as if she had not understood the malice in Lily's words at all.
Black Rose even laughed a few times, appearing very calm and composed.
"Oh, Sayuri, you're so worried about me."
Black Rose's voice still had that gentle and kind tone.
"But you really don't have to worry about me."
She waved her hand, acting as if she didn't care.
"It was just a small accident when I was researching a new fairy seed."
Black Rose's tone sounded relaxed, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
"It will return to normal after a while. It's no big deal."
Her nonchalant attitude was somewhat surprising, and it was obvious that she did not care much about her injuries.
Hearing Black Rose's nonchalant response, Lily's expression became even more irritated.
She couldn't understand why Black Rose could remain so calm in the face of her malicious ridicule.
This reaction made Lily feel even more angry and frustrated.
"What are you talking about?!"
Lily's voice was filled with obvious irritation.
"How could I possibly worry about you?!"
Her tone became sharp, and she was obviously angered by Black Rose's words.
"Don't talk to yourself here!"
Lily continued to shout in an angry tone.
"Don't be so sentimental there!"
Her reaction seemed extremely intense, and she completely lost her previous calmness and composure.
Lily rarely appears so impatient and out of control, but her reaction now does seem a little hasty.
Her strong reaction actually revealed some of her true thoughts deep in her heart.
Seeing Lily's obviously inappropriate reaction, Black Rose showed a satisfied smile on her face.
She was obviously very satisfied with Lily's reaction, as if she had achieved the effect she expected.
Black Rose is well aware of the subtleties of the human heart and knows that moderate temptation can best touch people's hearts, but if it is forced too much, it will backfire.
So, she tactfully put away her previous frivolous and joking attitude and turned serious in expression.
"Okay, okay, I really wasn't joking."
Black Rose's tone became more sincere and serious.
"What I just said is true."
She paused and continued in a calm tone.
"I did make a mistake while researching a brand new fairy seed, and the experiment failed."
Black Rose's expression became somewhat complicated.
"At the same time, we also provoked some dangerous beings that we shouldn't have provoked."
There was a hint of helplessness and regret in her voice.
“That’s why it’s like this now.”
Black Rose looked at Lily deeply and continued.
"And the reason I came to you this time was simply because I wanted to take refuge while continuing to delve deeper into the secrets of the fairy seed."
There was a sincere plea in her words.
Lily's expression remained unchanged after hearing Black Rose's seemingly sincere explanation.
Her eyes were still full of resolute rejection.
