I Received Messages From Future Self!-Chapter 640 - 636 Naughty Fang Xiaocao

"Princess Your Highness, this is the passage leading to the underground base on the Blacklist."

Fake Tom, with a fawning smile, spoke to Fang Xiaocao as if presenting a treasure.

Looking at Fake Tom wearing Tom’s devastatingly handsome face, yet making such a lecherous expression.

Fang Xiaocao truly wanted to smack him hard twice.

So out of place, so sleazy.

This is simply the greatest insult to Tom’s handsome face.

Fang Xiaocao hid the disgust in her eyes and smiled slightly, "You go first, I’m afraid there might be bombs inside."

Once she reached the real Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave, Fang Xiaocao dropped the pretense.

She directly used Fake Tom as a pawn, letting him go ahead as a trailblazer.

To avoid putting the Vermilion Bird at risk if she continues to be the scout.

The Vermilion Bird is her trusty subordinate, and it’s better to spare her when she can.

If injured, Fang Xiaocao would have to pay for medical treatment, which isn’t cost-effective.

It’s better to use something free; she wouldn’t feel bad if it gets hurt.

After all, it’s someone else’s; she doesn’t need to pay the medical bill.

It’d be best if it died directly, so she wouldn’t be distracted and constantly watch his every move.

Be careful and guard against him causing trouble and tricking her people.

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s order, an expression of shock flashed on Fake Tom’s face.

This script seems off somehow.

Didn’t the intelligence say that the relationship between Tom and Fang Xiaocao was very ambiguous?

And he holds a key position in Fang Xiaocao’s faction.

How could she be so willing to let Tom take on such a dangerous task?

Isn’t she worried Tom might get hurt?

By any logic, be it public or private, it doesn’t seem very reasonable.

"Could it be that I’ve been exposed?"

A thought flashed through Fake Tom’s mind.

"It shouldn’t be. If I’m exposed, would Fang Xiaocao still keep me around?"

But he quickly refuted his own thoughts.

Little does Fake Tom know, Fang Xiaocao is quite wicked.

She had long seen through his disguise.

But, following the principle of taking advantage when available, she kept him around as free labor.

If Fake Tom understood Fang Xiaocao’s intentions, he’d probably be furious to the point of spitting blood.

What a cunning Zhou Bapi, so skilled at taking advantage.

Isn’t this bullying him for being an honest person?

"What?"

"You don’t want to?"

"Or do you want me to personally scout?"

Fang Xiaocao tilted her head, playfully looking at Fake Tom.

Her tone revealed neither joy nor anger, but her gaze sent chills down Fake Tom’s spine.

Seeing Fake Tom seemingly about to realize he had been exposed.

Fang Xiaocao withdrew her predatory glare and replaced it with full of doubt.

"Tom, why are you acting strange today?"

"As if——"

At this point, Fang Xiaocao stopped, showing a conflicted expression.

"As if what?"

Fake Tom swallowed and hurriedly asked.

Right now, Fake Tom was sweating in nervousness.

He had a premonition that he was about to be exposed.

In this sort of situation, if exposed, he would surely die.

He was just a small top-level master, not able to escape the clutches of a Super Strong Taotie.

Thus, Fake Tom was very anxious, his face under the mask was already sweating.

Fortunately, the mask hid his nervousness from being publicly exposed.

Fake Tom stared at Fang Xiaocao nervously, secretly resolving that if he were truly exposed, he’d make a desperate move.

If he’s going to die, he’ll make sure to take a pound of flesh from Fang Xiaocao.

Noticing Fake Tom’s odd behavior, the Taotie silently shifted his position.

The movement was barely noticeable, yet it just happened to block Fang Xiaocao from Fake Tom.

If Fake Tom dared attack Fang Xiaocao, the Taotie would strike him with a thunderous blow.

Make Fake Tom regret ever crawling out of his mother’s womb.

"As if——"

Fang Xiaocao deliberately repeated it.

The expression on her face grew more and more conflicted.

Fang Xiaocao stared at Fake Tom’s face, scrutinizing him for a long time.

Then hesitantly spoke, "Your face seemed fine, no traces of Face-changing Technique, but why does it feel like you’ve changed into someone else?"

Hearing Fang Xiaocao’s words, Fake Tom felt as if struck by lightning.

Almost couldn’t hold it, ready to act.

Not only did Fake Tom almost lose it, the Taotie was also on the verge of bursting into laughter.

His old face turned red from holding back, barely managing not to laugh aloud.

Princess Your Highness sure knows how to play with people’s emotions, unquestionably one of Jianghu’s renowned top hypnotists.

But that said, Fake Tom’s psychological resilience is commendable.

He didn’t crack under pressure.

Switch to someone else, they’d probably crack immediately.

Would drop the pretense and reveal everything.

Fang Xiaocao continued her performance, tilting her head in puzzlement at Fake Tom.

Seeming like she wanted Fake Tom to offer an explanation.

It took a while for Fake Tom to regain his composure.

He forced a smile at the corner of his lips, "I’m not feeling well today, probably my cousin came calling."

Once said, Fake Tom regretted it.

What on earth talking about cousin visiting here?

Was that something suitable to say now?

"Cough, cough——"

"I meant, didn’t sleep well last night."

"Having a headache today."

Fake Tom hurriedly coughed a few times, attempting to cover up his words.

He gave an excuse that seemed logical, yet was rife with holes.

Upon hearing Fake Tom’s explanation, Fang Xiaocao nearly lost it too.

This impostor must be treating her like a fool?

Didn’t sleep well last night, so feeling a headache today?

Tom is a top-level master, a rather strong top-level master.

Even if he didn’t sleep well for several nights in a row, he wouldn’t be mentally exhausted.

Let alone talk about headaches?

A top-level master’s physical constitution is as strong as an ox.

You think you’re Lin Daiyu, having headaches because of lack of sleep.

Fang Xiaocao mentally ridiculed him.

But her face remained unperturbed, not showing any unusual expression.

Fang Xiaocao wanted to award herself an Oscar statuette.

If someday she retired from the tumultuous Jianghu.

With her skill in controlling facial expressions and natural acting prowess, Fang Xiaocao believes she could easily enter the entertainment industry.

Hire a reliable director with money, get a good script, and she’d definitely become Best Actress.

Fang Xiaocao showed a sudden realization, "I see."

"Since you didn’t sleep well, quickly go scout."

"Let’s quickly settle the Blacklist so you can return for some rest."

Fake Tom was stunned.

Is this the logic?

Isn’t it supposed to be because he’s not feeling well, someone else should scout?

But that said, did Fang Xiaocao really believe him?

Fake Tom found it rather unbelievable that Fang Xiaocao would actually believe his clumsy excuse.

"What is it?"

"You still don’t want to?"

"Now I’m starting to doubt whether you’re really Tom."

"Tom never refuses me."

Fang Xiaocao stared at Fake Tom and spoke word by word.

"Fine, I’ll go!"
