Your arrogance leaves me with nowhere to hide, but it also leaves me with some self-respect.
Li Xiaobai walked out of the infirmary, still filled with both delight and grief, when he accidentally bumped Wolf Fang in the corridor!
There were two prison guards standing nervously beside Wolf Fang, who had inconspicuous abrasions on his face. Li Xiaobai saw the solitary confinement room at the end of the corridor and understood.
“Take care.” He scratched his head and only managed to come out with that one sentence. Although, as a roommate, it is a bit cold and belittling to say that he is neither stingy nor indifferent, rather… Come on, what’s so weird about a hot-blooded inmate in this facility being confined to solitary confinement on a regular basis? Furthermore, Li Xiaobai did not consider being locked up in a dark room for a few days to be a punishment.
“Hmph!”
Despite the evident evidence of suppression, Wolf Fang’s sarcastic snort echoed along the quiet corridor.
Li Xiaobai raised his head inexplicably, noticing Wolf Fang’s dismal expression and eyes filled with unbridled rage. Li Xiaobai thought he had truly brought it on himself! Why bother with him? It will be difficult to continue to be incompatible, but even if you give it your all, the outcome will be negative…
Li Xiaobai put his hands in his pockets and walked away, too sluggish to chat with him any longer. He only missed Wolf Fang’s shoulder by a half-step when he felt the wind behind him!
He resisted his initial impulse and did not dodge.
He expected a hand knife or something, but instead he was grabbed by the arm!
Li Xiaobai stopped and turned around with a surprised expression.
Unlike the one Li Xiaobai pretended to be, Wolf Fang’s reaction was a genuine surprise! As if he were astonished that he stretched out to hold him, he nevertheless held on…
What is this? The man’s face, who pulled, sank down.
“What do you mean?”
However, in half a second, Wolf Fang reverted to normal, still with a ruthless look on his face, and nonchalantly threw his arm aside! “Want to flirt with our precious female doctor?” The red-haired man showed an arrogant smile. “You are still very young!”
Rubbish, Li Xiaobai didn’t bother to pay attention to him, lowered his head, and left.
“Let me tell you something, kid… Everyone in this prison is mine! That doctor… It’s your turn when I get tired of her, or at least until I’m done…” The evil voice said provocative words behind Li Xiaobai.
Just kill him.
If the two prison guards weren’t there… He would’ve broken all of his bones and fed them to the dogs!
Li Xiaobai trembled all over, clenched his fists furiously, and used all of his willpower to keep from turning around and cutting open that bastard’s carotid artery…
“Hahaha…” Now Wolf Fang has swept away the previous gloom and walked to the solitary confinement room with an extremely arrogant smile. The two prison guards who were nervously following behind him became less and less like officers and more like servants…
Li Xiaobai repressed the violent glow in his eyes as he walked slowly back to his prison cell…
As soon as the iron door opened, he was stunned for a moment… Ha! Today is actually strange! Everyone fights.
Blade leaned silently on the table, an inconspicuous bruise on his jaw, a cigarette in his mouth, and a rare scribbled stubble on his chin, along with black scattered hair blocking his eyes, his face shrouded in half-light and half-darkness, and the ethereal and feeble curls of green smoke… He exudes the air of a decadent guy dealing with the vicissitudes of life.
Vera wasn’t here, and Li Xiaobai didn’t want to know where he had gone after seeing the scene earlier.
Blade was plainly in a nasty mood, as was Li Xiaobai, so no one said anything.
Li Xiaobai didn’t ask anything, silently walked to the bed, and agilely hopped onto the upper bunk… As soon as his knees touched the mattress, he was grabbed by his ankles and dragged down!
Blade pressed him directly to the cold ground… Damn it! He was clearly at the table seconds ago! The movement was too fast, and Li Xiaobai fell straight to the ground! Furthermore, he also bore the weight of two people, and the back of his head hurt…
After looking at him expressionlessly for a while, Blade turned his head and blew the cigarette from his lips before kissing him coldly…
Li Xiaobai was infuriated!
What happened to both of them today?!
Blade’s actions were rough, more resembling biting than kissing. He bites like crazy, as if he wants to rip off the flesh and bones of the person beneath him and devour every inch of it! However, there was no trace of joy in his kiss, and the temperature was so low that you practically froze from head to toe! Li Xiaobai’s tiny lips were covered with blood! The searing, stinging sensation aroused his nerves one by one! But this fishy and slightly sweet flavor arouses all of the man’s sadistic desires! Blade’s movements grew more powerful and intense… He didn’t even move his hand to caress it; he went straight down to tear off Li Xiaobai’s pants!

“F*ck off! Get the f*ck away from me!” Li Xiaobai struggled desperately! It was almost like torturing himself; the wrist bones that were grabbed made a horrible clicking sound due to the violent struggle, and his hair was scattered in an almost maniacal manner…
“F*ck off?” Every word uttered by the man on top of him appeared to be squeezed from between his teeth. He was so close that his breath blew directly on Li Xiaobai’s face frantically… “If I f*ck off, who do you want to go to?”
“F*ck you! Why do you care?!” Li Xiaobai suddenly leaned forward and bit him! Blade dodged too quickly and missed, leaving his teeth ringing loudly and savagely in the air… Li Xiaobai felt like a mad dog right now… What’s a mad dog? He once bit a mad dog to death!
Blade gazed down at him coldly. “The movement was quite loud; you truly want to bite me to death, ah…” Then he smiled without any smile. “You don’t seem to understand that the only person in this prison who has the most control over you is me. What? Don’t want to play low-key anymore?”
Li Xiaobai’s red eyes became clear, but he was still breathing heavily; his chest rose and fell violently as he glared at him fiercely. “You said you wouldn’t f*ck me back then!”
“I didn’t say that; I only said, ‘I’ll try my best’.” Blade seemed to have calmed down as well, reaching out and casually twirling Li Xiaobai’s hair on the side of his face… The latter stared at those fingers with eager eyes, as if it were ready to strike with its fangs at any moment…
Seeing him like this, the man really chuckled, caressed his face, and ordered: “In the future, don’t smile at the idlers, stay away from Ben, and don’t go to the infirmary anymore… Do you hear me?”
Li Xiaobai lay on the ground, feeling as if the seething wrath in his heart had dissipated, when clusters of cool blue flames appeared from all places throughout his body, steadily starting a prairie fire…
He was silent for a long time, and just when the man was getting impatient waiting for an answer, he abruptly loosened his strength, and the corners of his eyes, which had flushed from struggling, were raised. He observed the man on top of him as he gradually unveiled an evil smile that reached the bones…
Blade was completely stunned, and he choked up for a second when he saw that smile.
Li Xiaobai has not smiled since he was imprisoned. Now he smiles twice. Furthermore, the same person’s smile can change dramatically before and after! But regardless of what it is, it makes individuals itchy and causes their blood to boil!
Telling him not to smile was the appropriate thing to do, Blade reasoned, but his thoughts were interrupted by a stinging ache in his waist!
If you’re careless… You know this little beast will not smile for no reason…
I was so mesmerized that I lost my vigilance!
Although it was only for a second, it was too dangerous in front of a professional killer. Blade believed that if Li Xiaobai had had a weapon in his hands right now, he would have died.
The little beast sprang up from the ground, wiped the thin blood on his lips with the back of his palm, and looked at him coldly. “You are my boss here, but you are not my master yet. I don’t think you can have the final say in everything!”
Blade stood up straight and didn’t make another move; he just looked at him calmly.
The little beast calmly jumped onto the bed and lay down.
After a good while, a somewhat muffled voice came from the depths of the upper bunk: “I won’t go to the infirmary again…” He turned over, and an even more muffled voice drifted out softly: “I can’t go anyway…”
The light in the room seems to have dimmed a bit…
It’s gray everywhere…
It took a long time—long enough for Li Xiaobai to almost fall asleep.
“I’ll stay with you…”
It seems that someone in the room stated that.
He wasn’t sure.
A week later, Wolf Fang was released from the solitary confinement room.
Then everything resumes as usual, as the sun shines evenly on every saint and trash in the prison.
In the following month, only three pieces of news were published.
One is that Beyoncé was permanently moved from a Texas prison.
Li Xiaobai did not appear depressed after receiving the news, as Vera, Old Joe, Ben, and the others had feared, but the tense atmosphere between him and Blade, which began with the inexplicable fight that day, has officially evolved into a cold war.
“Do you think I did it?”
From start to finish, Blade constructed a defense that was not considered a defense, from tone to content. Also, he didn’t need to explain anything to him, and Li Xiaobai wasn’t interested in hearing anything.
He was working in a factory when Beyoncé departed and didn’t have a chance to say goodbye. The two had no beginning or end, and it was interesting to see it from a different angle. Li Xiaobai thought, Leave; I will find you.
The popularity of female doctors in prisons remains high, and many people discuss it as a pity. However, before the aftermath of this news settled, a second and more bloody thing happened: Kale died.
Li Xiaobai was also implicated in this incident. He’s been in a lot of trouble lately; he was deeply hurt by Beyonce’s affair, and what happened to Kale was harmful to his health.
On the surface, the catastrophe was attributed to the soap factory’s cutting machine.
At that time, Li Xiaobai and Ben were standing face-to-face at the conveyor belt’s final threshold. A mechanically oscillating cutter, 20 cm from the arm, was cutting strips of semi-finished paste into tidy bars of soap. Li Xiaobai and the others are responsible for inspecting semi-finished products and removing them from the assembly line belt if they contain any major flaws. This is light and agile work that, if not handled carefully, could end up being rolled into the cutting machine. As a result, the belt and cutter speeds must be precisely controlled.
Ben was standing on that side of the conveyor belt that day. Normally, Blade would have this position, but… Now that the two were at odds, Li Xiaobai grabbed Ben and squeezed him away.
Ben appears to have been a morally upright child. He refused the position in the kitchen and insisted on doing menial labor at the factory. I’m not sure if he got infected by Li Xiaobai or began to learn to transform himself.
The conveyor belt and the cutter almost accelerated together! The cutting machine, which had previously been calm enough to process soap, transformed into a beast with teeth that frantically bit everything! The mutation is too quick and unexpected! Li Xiaobai pushed Ben away, and Wolf Fang pounced on him at almost the same time! However, Wolf Fang’s position was still a few steps away from him. Ben was safely tossed away, but Li Xiaobai did not completely avoid it.
The coolness of his left hand was followed by agonizing pain… Li Xiaobai’s heart trembled! Not too good…
The fresh red blood contrasted with Ben’s pale face with freckles and Wolf Fang’s deafening roar with fluttering red hair, as well as an unexpected and horrifying exclamation from the workshop next door. The crowd attempted to keep order. The pair of malevolent eyes and the number signboard in the control room of the prison guard machine, which sounded like a loud whistle… Everything was mixed into a vivid and whirling swirl, accompanied by tremendous pain that was causing Li Xiaobai’s nerves to burn out…
Wolf Fang grasped his shoulders tightly behind him and spoke loudly to him, as if he were scared that he might faint.
But Li Xiaobai was unusually sober at the time, with a cold sweat running down his face. He bit his lip, used his shoulder to push Wolf Fang away, grasped his half-missing left hand, and stood up slowly but carefully…
“Go find some ice.”
He said it dully.
Then he walked to the conveyor belt, picked out the cut-off half of his palm from the countless soap flakes, joined the two fingers to the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh beneath, and held it by himself. It felt incredible…
“Take me to the infirmary.”
He added.
There was dead silence all around.
In this situation, Blade was the only one who was able to control the bleeding and administer first aid in a timely manner. He even carried Li Xiaobai all the way to the infirmary, which left Li Xiaobai dumbfounded because his foot was not hurt.
The new doctor who replaced Beyoncé is a serious, meticulous, middle-aged black man with glasses.
When he saw the two bloodied people, he only offered a reasonable statement regarding the severed palm: “The incision is very neat; it should be able to be reattached.”
Indeed, the hands have the most tendons, as seen by the complex movements that the fingers can do. The success percentage of flawlessly connecting them is low.
However, after the on-site surgery, Li Xiaobai began to doubt for the first time: are all the doctors in the prison infirmary so skilled?
The successful surgery, paired with Li Xiaobai’s inhuman recovery ability, allowed his left hand to heal quickly.
A week later, Li Xiaobai returned to cell 520. Then he learned that Kale had died. He died the same night that Li Xiaobai’s hands were severed. He died on the soap factory’s conveyor belt and was chopped into pieces by the cutting machine! The coroner had a hard time identifying the pile of meat pieces…
Li Xiaobai said nothing. In his opinion, Kale’s tricks were too clumsy and left too many traces. Everyone present was a human being. Even if he didn’t intend to convey the truth, someone would figure out who did it. Li Xiaobai simply didn’t understand why Kale wanted to kill him.
Following two consecutive bloody accidents at the soap factory, higher management finally noticed the operational flaws. So, the third piece of news this month was released:
The Texas Prison Underground Factory’s primary shareholder will pay an in-person visit!
The entire prison has grown more meticulous, including the factory; even the prisoners’ cells and other activity areas have been completely cleaned multiple times! All of the prison guards were in great spirits, as if they were on stimulants! They stand up straight even during the night shift! Even the warden personally inspected numerous times before meeting with the stockholders…
“This is our beloved Mr. Pope’s way of making money.” Wolf Fang gobbled enormous portions of the newly added steak on the dinner plate. “Of course he is nervous! This prison is a piece of flowing gold. Half of the wealth comes from the prisoners, and half of it comes from the factories, so he has to be careful what he serves!”
“I didn’t know that cheap soap factories are now a piece of fat meat.” Li Xiaobai enjoyed the rare meat; from this point of view, he welcomed the visit of the major shareholder.
Wolf Fang sneered, “The soap factory is just a cover. What matters is the legally applied industry and the number on the government tax ID number.”
Li Xiaobai paused for a moment. “Money laundering?”
“That’s right, European money is laundered in the United States without anyone noticing, and the Italians are very creative.”
Li Xiaobai put down his fork. “Italian?”
He never made a sound and stared at Li Xiaobai with a smile that was not a smile: “This prison factory is one of the industries owned by the Leo family in Italy, do you know?”
Li Xiaobai gripped the fork and pierced the steak hard! He is in serious trouble!
When he got to work in the afternoon, Li Xiaobai purposefully switched seats with the large guy, Gucci, shaved his hair, and stood in the most remote corner of the factory, fully covered. He was nearly entirely buried by the towering machines and high-mounted oil tanks that surrounded him, and it took Wolf Fang a long time to locate him…
“Kid, what are you doing hiding here?”
“Stay away from me; you’re too conspicuous.”
“What the f*ck did you say?”
“Have the people who came to inspect left?”
“They’re not here yet. They just entered the workshop next door. They used to do random inspections, but this time the shareholders didn’t know what they were doing. They didn’t miss even a damn workshop!” Wolf Fang spat and turned around, as if he were unsure. After a while, he eventually responded, “If you truly want to hide from people, simply remove the bandage; that thing is too conspicuous.”
Li Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes shifted to the bandage on his left hand. However, he was ignoring it since he was too busy turning gray. He hurriedly ripped off the bandage and flung it away. Only the light-red joint and sutures remained on the wound below. The two fingers that were previously detached from the body can feel. His daily movements are fine, but he is unable to punch or fight at this time. That’s it… Of course, he feigned to be fragile in front of the doctor, but the serious black doctor was surprised by his capacity to recover.
There was a ruckus at the door. Li Xiaobai knew that trouble was coming, so he immediately turned around and immersed himself in tinkering with the machine.
In fact, he wasn’t sure whether the guest was Lorenzo. In truth, Li Xiaobai believed that Lorenzo, with his identity, had no reason to stay in such a small factory.
But there was always an unsettling feeling in his heart, and Li Xiaobai trusted his instincts.
Wild intuition has proven to be incredibly accurate.
Although Li Xiaobai didn’t raise his head from start to finish—he didn’t even dare to turn his face sideways—he couldn’t rest for a single second from the time the group arrived until they left.
That sharp sword-like gaze from behind is so penetrating!
His gaze didn’t bat an eyelid, but he pressed forward step by step, past the inmates in gray uniforms in the noisy factory, and went directly to his target with unrivaled precision! Then he carefully removed his disguise, as if he were naked in the light, ready for others to pick… Li Xiaobai smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that trouble was on the way.
Sure enough, trouble showed up courteously in the shower room after work.
Li Xiaobai had just finished washing his head when the three blond, cold-faced men in suits announced sternly that he was “selected as the best employee of the year, and now please be interviewed by the largest shareholder of the factory”…
He subconsciously looked up for Blade’s figure before recalling that the man had just gotten a rare visitor and had gone to the reception area. Then he remembered that they were now in the throes of a cold war; don’t tell me I still asked him for assistance or something? Finally, he began to get annoyed as to why he thought of him in the first place?
The troublemakers had no idea what the young man in front of them was thinking, but they stood firm in their suits. Except for the warden, there are no men in suits in this prison, let alone a basic shower room that is dark, damp, and splashing with water.
As if a stone had been flung at a terrified herd! Prisoners who were naked or wearing towels swarmed around in fear, curiosity, or excitement… The splashing sewage on the ground stained the outsiders’ high-quality suits, but the men in suits did not change their expressions, and their brows did not move as they stood around Li Xiaobai, which could be interpreted as a respectful invitation or as a defensive formation to prevent the other party from making an unexpected attack.
Wiping some water on his face, Li Xiaobai cursed in his head: Best employee of the year? What an incredibly lame excuse!
Watching Li Xiaobai put on clothes, then be handcuffed and taken away, sandwiched between a group of powerful unknowns, the curious chatter in the shower room became increasingly loud… Some people even remained at the window to watch the figures go, guessing their exact location…
Wolf Fang stood behind the crowd, leaning coldly against the wall, and stared at the nozzle Li Xiaobai was currently using. He pondered for a long time. Finally, he took out a cigarette a little irritably, but found that he couldn’t light it in the damp bathroom.
To be continued…
The author has something to say:
After being exposed to the Overlord Flower in the dormitories, I realized: Our Xiaobai never smiled in the first nine chapters… Did I push him too hard? Or is this damn kid just too boring? Hm, it must be the latter.
No, I need to work hard. You are a good kid. Why do you have such a dead face?
Facial paralysis Gong is fine, but facial paralysis Shou is not~
Uff, I don’t have a good feeling about what’s going to happen next (• ▽ •;)
Thanks for the chapter ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
