Chapter 177 Stinky
When Shi Tian asked whether Vanessa wanted a kiss or not, Mary suddenly became intrigued, clearly interested in the development.
'Oh, so they do have some special relationship?' Mary thought to herself, feeling as if she was being shown an interesting or complex relationship.
As for Vanessa, she was stunned at first but quickly composed herself.
"How about in the lips instead?" Vanessa sneered coldly and leaned forward. With the interaction they had for a while, she could confirm one thing about Shi Tian.
And that was the fact that he isn't lustful like other men. After all, he had practically seen her naked, but not a single reaction was shown on his face.
It was to the point that she had begun suspecting he was gay, but then it didn't make sense either.
If Shi Tian was gay, then there would be evidence of him acting somewhat feminine, but never once had he acted in such a manner and was always masculine, especially with his decisive and swift actions.
Thus, Vanessa bet that Shi Tian wasn't gay and was the type that wouldn't be easily swayed by a woman simply because of their beauty or appearance. n-(OVε1bIn
Sure enough, Shi Tian was utterly speechless when Vanessa actually advanced forward on his tease.
They were extremely close to each other currently, and Shi Tian was dumbfounded by the development.
'What is wrong with her?' Shi Tian questioned inwardly, wondering what Vanessa was thinking.
Faking a cough, Shi Tian retreated slightly and walked around Vanessa, placing the cup on the table.
"Anyway, have you two gotten to know each other yet?" He then asked, changing the topic.
Vanessa snickered coldly when she saw how he reacted exactly the way she had predicted. 'Heh, want to tease me? You're 9000 years too early for that.'
Realizing the fun show was over so quickly, Mary was a bit displeased, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"Yeah, I have introduced myself to Vanessa already." Mary then said.
And she continued, "When I used your keycard to enter the room, Vanessa came out of the room excitedly and thought I was you. Naturally, Vanessa turned hostile, believing I'm an intruder since a stranger had just entered."
"Huh? Then did you two fight?" Shi Tian was alarmed at first.
However, when he noticed that the living room didn't seem to be damaged in any way, and the furniture was intact, he quickly nullified that thought.
Even if there might have been a fight, it should have been a mini one and not a massive one.
At this point, Vanessa shrugged her shoulders and sat on the couch. "It's not my fault for initiating an attack when you knew what happened to me." She explained calmly."
Shi Tian nodded his head.
He understood her standpoint given that she was ambushed not long ago, and the enemies even attacked recently in the apartment complex.
It was natural for her guard to be high, especially when the person she expected to go through the door to be him, but turned out to be a different person.
Any sane person would react in hostility after what they had experienced.
Mary clicked her tongue in annoyance when she saw the two of them practically ignoring her.
Like hello?
She was still here, so why are they glancing at each other without talking? From an outside perspective, the two of them looked as if they were communicating through body language alone.
"Ahem, shouldn't we get to the main point, Nathan?" Mary copied Shi Tian and faked a cough while notifying Shi Tian about their reason for returning.
"Right..." Shi Tian nodded and asked, "Vanessa, we might need your help with the current state of emergency. Or more precisely, we need the Ancient Technology that you possessed."
A moment of silence occurred before Vanessa rubbed her chin and gazed at Shi Tian.
"Is it you that wants it or it's this Mary woman that wants it?" She asked in an emotionless tone.
The question itself had many meanings overlaid together, but Shi Tian was too ignorant to understand this particular part.
Instead, he was pondering seriously and replied, "I would say both since this matter would hinder my plan as well if we don't get your assistance."
"And that plan is related to the New Region?" Vanessa enquired. She might have been staying in the apartment room, but that doesn't mean she didn't have any knowledge of what was going on.
With the state of emergency being commenced and the fact that the New Region would soon be opened, she could easily connect the dots.
Not to mention, it was no secret that almost everyone capable of surviving in the wilderness was eyeing the New Region. An unknown place that was finally revealing itself and with the rumors circulating around of Ancient Technology being in the present was enticing for anyone.
Thus, Shi Tian found it pointless to lie about this when it was simply too obvious. "Yes, our plan in the New Region is going to be affected if the Gilaso monster wave isn't resolved in time or properly."
"I see..." Vanessa nodded her head before pointing at the bathroom.
"You are a bit stinky, Nathan, so why don't you go take a shower first?" She then suggested.
Dumbfounded, Shi Tian actually took a quick sniff on his sleeve but didn't find himself to be stinky. Or did his nose become terrible and that he just couldn't smell it?
"She's right, Nathan. You should really take a shower." Mary suddenly intervened and said, making Shi Tian even more doubtful and confused.
Was he really that stinky?
Alas, since it was the two of them agreeing to it and he didn't think that much about it, he could only nod his head and head to the bathroom to take a quick rinse.
After all, it was indeed a while since he had taken a shower given that the wilderness didn't have such comfortable places that allowed him to shower.
With Shi Tian inside the bathroom, Vanessa's expression changed as she smiled somewhat sinisterly at Mary.
