WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE THAT MAY BE UPSETTING FOR SOME READERS.
Do you know how long a mouse can live?
This depends on the cat’s intellect.
Some people appear better with their clothes on than they do without them, and vice versa.
Li Xiaobai clearly belongs to the latter.
Li Xiaobai’s skin is not white; rather, it is a healthy, light honey color wrapped in slim and supple muscles, which is incredibly seductive. If he hadn’t taken off his clothing, no one would believe that this figure, with its exquisite hands and lengthy legs, could grow so quickly!
Yes, it’s efficient. Every muscle, bone, and body part is perfectly proportioned, leaving no superfluous fat, and this lean figure represents the pinnacle of efficiency.
If ancient Greek sculptors were allowed to evaluate, they would only come to one conclusion: beautiful.
If martial artists were allowed to evaluate, they would only reach one conclusion: a natural fighting machine.
So when the new inmates walked up the iron staircase of the collective cell in line, n*ked and holding their clothes, there were clearly many more eyes on Li Xiaobai’s body than during the day.
This is a process that is well-loved by the audience. It’s exciting to think about the n*ked newcomer walking by without reservation under the gaze of all the prisoners!
“Welcome to the Hive! Fish!”
“Baby, you have such a nice *ss~”
“Five cigarettes; I bet on that fat guy!”
“Little b*tch, you’re mine tonight! Ha!”
“Quiet! Be quiet, all of you!!”
The sounds of old inmates tapping on iron doors, hissing, whistling, *bscene screams, invective, chaotic wagers, and prison guards’ yells are all mingled together. This is a carnival moment amid the monotonous prison life.
Most people automatically covered their lower bodies with the clothing in their hands, but Li Xiaobai didn’t care; he simply tucked them under his armpits and went peacefully. He was more concerned with holding and properly securing his damaged left hand to prevent future bone stagger growth.
The prison guards walked inside to separate the old and new inmates, and from time to time, they kicked the iron gate and ordered the people within to retreat! More often, they merely use a truncheon to greet the hands and feet protruding from the little window railing!
Ben, who was walking in front, was severely scratched by a large, hairy hand! He screamed and hugged his clothes desperately to cover his body, but it resulted in *bscene laughter in various cells… The poor victim had to grit his teeth and avoid the sinful environment emanating from the cell doors…
Li Xiaobai went behind him, refusing to reflect on what had just happened:
He had not expected the US prisons to be so advanced, and metal detectors were installed at the entrance of the short warehouse. So when the alarm sounded harshly, Li Xiaobai didn’t have time to destroy the hidden weapon; the prison guard’s taser had already been reached in front of him!
“Take it out!”
Li Xiaobai held out his palm, a silver cross necklace lying on it.
Ben’s eyes widened, “This… This is mine…” Then he hesitatingly looked at the expressionless Li Xiaobai, blushing inexplicably…
The leading fat prison guard grabbed the necklace with a grin and shook hypnotically in front of Li Xiaobai’s eyes, “What is this? Huh?!”
“A cross.”
“Bullsh*t!” A powerful punch greeted Li Xiaobai in the stomach!
“Oh…” Li Xiaobai bent down and didn’t get up for a long time… This fat guy is incredibly strong…
“A metal cross, what do you son of a b*tch want to do?! What did you keep this cross for?!”
Li Xiaobai remained in a bent position to regain his breath and then muttered, “Believe… He who believes in him will have eternal life…”
“Huh?” The fat prison guard froze in place.
Li Xiaobai’s voice sounded quite innocent, “The advice given by the warden, I just want to try and see to believe in God from now on…”
The fat prison guard was blocked for a long time without saying a word, and the little prison guards behind him couldn’t help laughing out loud…
The fat prison guard was a little angry, but he couldn’t refute the warden’s faith and face. He took a few deep breaths in place before confiscating the necklace and waving his hand for the group to move forward.

But Li Xiaobai had an intuition that this episode would cause him trouble in the future.

“Hey, kid.”
When passing through a prison door on the corner on the fifth floor, a greeting suddenly came from inside.
Li Xiaobai turned his head and froze for a moment.
It was the black-haired man who stared at him on the high platform of the playground during the day.
The prison guards didn’t actually show any warning, nor did they urge him to move forward. Li Xiaobai assumed this person was from the upper class… So he stood obediently and allowed the other party to stare at him…
Blade’s gaze burned inch by inch on Li Xiaobai’s bare skin… Finally, he stayed in the part between his straight legs and softly raised the corner of his lips…
Li Xiaobai thought he was going to say some l*wd language in a m*lesting manner and subconsciously tightened his muscles slightly… The man retracted his gaze, stared at Li Xiaobai’s eyes covered by his hair, and whispered softly:
“Don’t do stupid things like hide metal tools next time. You can come to me if you run into any trouble.” The ice-green eyes outline the lines of Li Xiaobai’s face…
Li Xiaobai’s heart exploded!
Before he could react, the man inside the iron gate turned his head and waved his hand, and the prison guard pushed him away.
He was shoved into a cell, with Ben beside him. The inhabitants of this poorly lit chamber were simply sitting on the bed while the prison guards were still there. There was no blatant action or language; there was only a kind of forcibly suppressed pack of wild dogs grinding their teeth before hunting quietly permeated…
Li Xiaobai quickly assessed the situation. There were six beds and four people, and the blind spots on the left and right were all sealed. The four of them were three thin, one fat, two tall, and two short. There are only two with a certain offensive power. It was difficult to determine whether there was an uncle.
Ben felt the sinister atmosphere surging in this confined space and instinctively grasped the iron door that had just closed, trembling…
Li Xiaobai grasped the short time that the guard had not left outside the door and pondered as he quickly put on his clothes with one hand.
The black-haired man had just given at least three pieces of valuable information: first, nothing in the jail could escape his sight, and it happened quickly. Second, any circumstance requiring the use of weapons may be handled simply by placing his name on it. Third, even the prison guards will buy his face.
Conclusion: If you do not get a major supporter, you will have serious problems.
“Xiao… Xiao… Xiaobai!”
A trembling hand gripped Li Xiaobai’s arm.
Li Xiaobai frowned as he looked at Ben. This kid pronounced his name indistinctly, like rolling his tongue seventy or eighty times. However, the fear from the hand holding his arm made Li Xiaobai’s anger subside…
The four men in the cell stood up and approached their sides, either quickly or slowly…
“Hey, Fish! You’ve met the Pope, haven’t you? What did the old man say to the newcomers this time?” The tall, thin white man spoke first. His voice was sticky and slick, and his turbid indigo eyes, which showed crimson bloodshot in light-colored pupils, made him seem even more neurotic…
Ben moved closer to Li Xiaobai, looking at the approaching white man, and whispered, “Who… Who is the pope?” However, he was not prepared to be held by the black man with small braids who appeared from the side. His whole body trembled violently!
The black man watched him tremble and giggle, then he punched Ben so hard that he bent over, gasping and twitching as he vomited gastric juice intermittently…
The black man still put his shoulder on Ben like a good brother and continued gleefully, “The Pope is the warden, remember? White boy? Hmm?” While speaking, he threw two punches with his right arm!
Ben couldn’t make a sound at this time; he was almost kneeling on the ground under the pressure of the black man’s arm, and he could only nod his head, struggling…
The black man touched his face and said with satisfaction, “Very good, but…” He raised his knee and slammed it hard into Ben’s thin chest. “You haven’t answered Jack’s question.”
Hitting the sternum is very dangerous, not to mention damaging the lungs. It can cause massive bleeding if the rib breaks if it is inserted into the internal organs…
Ben’s heart-rending cough echoed in the cell… Li Xiaobai stood still without moving.
After a while, Ben couldn’t catch his breath, let alone respond to the inquiry. The black man became impatient, yanking his hair and raising his hand…
“He said we were tr*sh,” Li Xiaobai suddenly blurted, “and that God would protect us.”
The black man paused and looked over.
The white man who was called Jack suddenly laughed… The others paused for a moment and laughed along…
“That old man, the Pope, is still so hypocritical!”
“It’s always the same f*cking thing…”
“Our archangel must have demonstrated right away, right?”
“That guy’s a real p*rvert.”
Jack walked in front of Li Xiaobai; his body was very close, and he almost pinned him to the door. His short breath blew on Li Xiaobai’s face, making him very uncomfortable…
“You…”
Jack had barely uttered a word when he was interrupted by the footsteps of the prison guards outside!
“No. 4444! Come out!”
This number is really unlucky, Li Xiaobai thought. But then he saw the prison guard open the iron gate and stare at him fiercely!
“I’m talking about you! The one with the broken arm! Emergency medical treatment!”
Jack quickly withdrew his body, and Li Xiaobai consciously touched the number tag on his chest…
No. 4444, it turned out to be himself.
It’s really appropriate to die.
Li Xiaobai walked out obediently. After passing Ben with a panicked expression on his face, he looked at his pleading eyes and held back. After all, he couldn’t help but whisper in a very low voice:
“Do as you’re told, and you’ll get hurt less.”
He no longer cared about the expression behind him, and he walked out with his head down.
Li Xiaobai is not a gentle person; he can’t even speak gently. However, he is helpless against women, children, and the weak who want his protection.…
This is why he said he was not ruthless enough, Li Xiaobai thought.
The medical room can easily be described as the “heaven of this hell.”
It is spacious and bright; the air is fresh and full of a strong feminine atmosphere; and there is even a pot of green plants.
Li Xiaobai’s depressed mood for the day seemed to relax a little.
When Beyonce walked to the door, she saw a thin young man sitting obediently on a chair. He had a shaggy head on his slender neck and was sniffing softly at her holiday cactus… Like some kind of docile but vigilant animal in a gray prison uniform…
Beyonce wanted to laugh a little, and as soon as she was about to reach out and push the door, the young man turned his head and stared at her.
What a terrific hearing!
Li Xiaobai was sluggish for a moment after noticing the person outside the door. Beyonce walked in naturally. Although she didn’t care about her beauty, she had always been confident about it.
“Are you Li Xiaobai?” Beyonce said, flipping through the prisoner’s information and looking at Li Xiaobai with a smile.
She did not address him by number, and her voice was as sweet as velvet or honey, and she even pronounced the three words correctly.
Li Xiaobai is a little awkward—he’s always awkward with women—and a little happy, which is rare.
Beyonce did not get furious when he did not respond; instead, she closed the file folder, blinked her brilliant eyes politely and courteously, and without refusal, asked the two prison guards to leave.
“We’re going to start dressing the wound. Please wait outside, gentlemen. We may have to do a full body check-up and return the child to you in 45 minutes.”
Li Xiaobai let her bind the bandages upside down without saying anything; his countenance was pretty irritated.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m not a child.”
“Hehe…” Beyoncé looked at the closed folder. “You’re only nineteen years old, and there’s only one person in this prison who’s younger than you, and besides, only a kid would try to deny being a kid.”
“…” Li Xiaobai felt that he had heard this sentence somewhere, and he didn’t react for a while.
“How did you get so many injuries?”
“Car accident.”
“Car accident?”
“Well, I was caught by the police after a car accident.”
“There are so many new and old injuries… Is it just a car accident?”
Li Xiaobai looked at her and felt that this woman was smarter than she looked, but sometimes it was safer not to talk…
“It was just a car accident.”
Beyonce stared at the youth in front of her; a little distressed feeling came up, and her movements were much gentler: “Prisoners are eligible to apply for regular check-ups; you… you can come over when necessary.”
She stated when it was “necessary” and not “needed”.
Li Xiaobai felt the warm fingertips on his skin and decided that this was a great spot to seek sanctuary.
“Why am I suddenly allowed to come for treatment?”
“Because you are injured.”
Li Xiaobai naturally didn’t believe it. If he was injured, he should be sent over after being beaten by Gabriel. How could it be delayed until now? When the blond young master was injured, he was taken to the infirmary because Yellow Wolf declared him to be within his zone of control. What kind of power did he rely on?
“Beyoncé, do you know who this powerful man with black hair and green eyes is?”
“You mean… Blade?”
“Blade?”
“He is the second-in-command of the Northern Faction; what’s the matter?”
“The northern faction? Is there a southern faction?”
“Of course, the Southern Faction is Yellow Wolf’s force.”
“…Beyoncé, you don’t look like a doctor in the infirmary at all.”
“You don’t look like a prisoner either…”
It is impossible to claim that he was protected by the Northern Faction. After all, Blade’s remarks are invitations, not admissions. Has his identity been revealed? Li Xiaobai began to carefully recall everything from the time he set foot on the land of the Texas Prison, the reaction of each prisoner, and the actions of every prison guard…
“Beyonce,” Li Xiaobai suddenly jumped out of the hospital bed and took off his shirt! “Is there anything on my back?”
Beyonce was taken aback, then inexplicably examined it carefully and shook her head, “Nothing.”
Suddenly, she screamed! “Ah!”
“What’s wrong?” Li Xiaobai jerked his head back!
“I didn’t know… you had such a sexy back,” Beyoncé said, flicking her long brown curls and squinting her cat-like brown eyes, and she complimented generously.
Li Xiaobai pulls up his shirt a little feebly…
Li Xiaobai sat in a chair for 45 minutes, contemplating how to avoid the “welcome party”…
“Xiaobai, when did your car accident occur?”
“Three days ago.”
“Three days ago?!” Beyonce was stunned in place with a few films in her hand… “If the injury was sustained three days ago, then you… your body’s ability to recover is amazing!”
Li Xiaobai didn’t have any look of surprise, as if he were stuck in a chair, silently looking at the beautiful woman on the opposite side…
“Beyonce, can you let me sleep in the infirmary tonight?”
“No way.”
“I’m injured.”
“This excuse is insufficient.”
Li Xiaobai tilted his head and thought for a while. He said seriously, “I’m still motion sickness.”
Beyonce paused and laughed loudly… She couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and touch Li Xiaobai’s head. “You are so cute~”
Li Xiaobai moved but did not shake her off; instead, he remained motionless. However, something else occurred to my mind!
If a man like Blade is just the second-in-command of the North Faction, then who is the boss of the North Faction?
Güzel ilerliyor ilgimi çekti 😍
Can’t wait for the next chapter~ I’m sure there will be something going on between Blade and Li Xiaobai…hopefully smth good
