Getting involved with the Dark Holy Son was truly a troubleso matter.
However, Su Li’s concern wasn’t about Lan Zhe being particularly bad as a Holy Son, or being evil in nature.
What he really cared about was the fact that Lan Zhe could beat Egbert to a bloody face.
Su Li had deliberately trained himself to be more accepting of this world’s ways.
But scenes of easy bloodshed followed by quick healing were still difficult for him to accept.
Lan Zhe glanced at Su Li with displeasure. “What’s with that expression?”
Su Li waved his hand. “Nothing.”
“I just think that if life is destined to be full of heartache and emotional complexity, then lightening our burdens and pursuing happiness must be the soul’s deepest wish.”
When Lan Zhe first heard these words, he didn’t think Su Li was expressing his own complex feelings or desire to empty his mind. Instead, his thoughts turned to the Crystal Winged Dragon.
Having dark elents in this world ant suffering from the mont of existence. The despair of being hunted down and abandoned by the world, finally finding hope and a different kind of familial love with another species through the Crystal Winged Dragon, only to lose it all in the end…
Regardless of Lan Zhe’s personality, after experiencing all this, he couldn’t help but wonder – was everything gained destined to be lost?
Su Li was a rather subtle person, though not by his own admission – he considered himself quite straightforward. This perception of Su Li’s subtlety ca from others’ interpretations of his character.
For instance, Egbert firmly believed every word Su Li spoke had deeper aning, and Diz, while mindful of Su Li’s surface words, paid more attention to his inner thoughts.
These two had practically achieved complete analysis of Su Li’s thoughts and intentions.
Therefore, all of Su Li’s subtleties, once interpreted, beca extrely heartwarming words, flowing like sumr streams.
This was always Su Li’s way – not easily delving into others’ hearts, yet observing from a distance.
So, Lan Zhe naturally took Su Li’s statent about complex emotions as words of comfort for himself.
“Don’t be wary of potential encounters, and don’t fear inevitable losses… is that it?”
Making his first active attempt to interpret Su Li’s subtle words, Lan Zhe nodded in satisfaction.
He was absolutely certain he hadn’t misunderstood.
As for the person being forcefully interpreted…
Su Li blinked in confusion, wondering what Lan Zhe was talking about.
But the Dark Holy Son continued. “I understand your aning now.”
At this point, Lan Zhe’s eyes had beco much brighter, like a lost person who had finally found their path.
Then Lan Zhe decisively took the jewel left behind after Na’an’s death, which he had always kept in a pouch near his heart, and placed it in Su Li’s hands.
Before Su Li could process what was happening, Lan Zhe was already earnestly explaining, “It’s because of you that Na’an could truly die without regrets, so there’s no need for to keep holding onto what she left behind.”
“Moreover, perhaps this stone was left behind by Na’an specifically for you, after all, regrets and thoughts are things that can easily change, aren’t they?”
Su Li: ???
Is this sothing a Dark Holy Son should be saying?
Without thinking, Su Li pushed the fist-sized red and blue gem back to Lan Zhe.
“Don’t casually guess the intentions of those who have passed…beast or not. Perhaps Na’an simply left this stone as a nto for you.”
After all, if a complete dragon’s body had fallen in Jisuo Town, it would be hard to say what the residents might have done to it.
“Then let’s go with what you said. The mories in my mind are enough to rember Na’an. So this stone she left as a nto for should stay with you, after all…”
After pressing Su Li’s fist closed, Lan Zhe looked up and down at the elental particles that strongly resisted approaching Su Li, and remarked in a sing-song voice. “Even a Level One monster beast could kill you.”
Su Li rembered clearly that among Level One monster beasts, the most common was the Mie Mie at chop that he quite liked.
—Sorry for being at the bottom of the food chain!
Su Li glared at Lan Zhe, who seed to realize his words were offensive, so he directly smirked. “Given that Egbert won’t be able to stay by your side recently, having as your protector, being of equal strength to him, shouldn’t hurt your pride.”
Egbert’s purpose in using Euphia’s intelligence network to find the Dark Church wasn’t to locate the Dark Holy Son, but rather to use “the easiest-to-find Dark Church mbers” to search for the Dark Church’s true headquarters.
Of course, his goal wasn’t at the Holy Father’s level of destroying darkness.
Rather, as Su Li said—
“Everything has two sides.”
Lan Zhe didn’t care at all what the forr Son of Light planned to do.
Why was the Church of Light so willing to hunt down those with dark elents?
It wasn’t just because dark elents naturally suppressed light elents; more importantly, those with dark elents had a high possibility of becoming characters who could destroy the world’s existing rules.
This information existed not only in the Dark Church’s library, but Lan Zhe suspected the Church of Light’s library had copies as well.
That being the case, disregarding nuance and completely eliminating them beca the Church’s solution.
After all, those born with dark elents naturally possessed dark characteristics.
Under darkness, everything beca worthless.
Human lives, resources, value—those with these elents basically ignored it all.
The stronger they beca, the more arrogant they grew.
Any powerful dark elent user placed among people would beco a destroyer of order.
Lan Zhe wasn’t that crazy himself, he judged without much self-awareness. But he also felt Egbert was crazy enough.
Perhaps it was recognition between fellow madn, so even when Egbert used Lan Zhe to find the Dark Church, Lan Zhe didn’t mind. He was even happy to reveal the Dark Church’s headquarters to him, looking forward to what interesting things Egbert might do.
After all, this way…
He would have more reasons to stay by Su Li’s side.
Euphia: “I object!”
“Objection overruled.” Lan Zhe smiled brilliantly, staring at Euphia with threatening eyes that seed to say if she objected again, he’d imdiately rough her up.
Euphia was annoyed. “What’s with that look?”
“Only the strongest can stay by Su Li’s side, right?”
“Ha! You’ve got nerve! A stinking rat that should be scurrying under rotting leaves dares to provoke !”
And then they started fighting.
Su Li: ...didn’t want to say anything.
At this point, Mark, whose presence had been so low he’d been repeatedly ignored, sincerely said, “If my work gets mostly divided up, I hope Lady Euphia won’t reduce my salary because of this.”
Cyril remarked in a falsely admiring tone. “Sadina City really has everything. Truly worthy of being the free city of rcenaries.”
Look at that – a while ago they welcod the forr Son of Light branded as a traitor, and today the Dark Holy Son threatens to fight until you agree to let him stay…
Poor, poor Sadina City.
Su Li held the jewel Na’an left behind and said expressionlessly, “Let’s go ho!”
......
Erging from his mories, Su Li, now back in Sadina City, glanced at Lan Zhe in the kitchen with an expression of unspoken words.
Mark consoled him. “It’s alright. The dicine cabinet Lady Euphia prepared for the house is top-notch. And since Lan Zhe arrived, he’s actively added so high-grade dicinal herbs of unknown effects. You needn’t worry about your life safety.”
Su Li waved his hand weakly: “That’s not what I’m worried about.”
When getting stomach aches had beco routine, he only cared about one thing.
“…Are Holy Sons so kind of new-age house husbands obsessed with kitchens?”
Holy Son-brand new-age house husband – you deserve to have one?
Rather scary.
Cyril stroked his chin and said, “Maybe he’s trying to prove he’s more useful than Brother Egbert by emphasizing his dostic advantages.”
Overall, the small building reluctantly welcod the Dark Holy Son’s arrival.
Mainly because refusing wouldn’t have helped anyway…
After that fight, when Euphia was ready to tear Lan Zhe apart on the spot, after Lan Zhe casually produced what was said to be dicinal herbs worth several million gold coins…
Euphia quite smoothly gave Lan Zhe the neighboring house.
So, to avoid him gazing longingly from next door, Su Li finally surrendered to Big Sister Euphia, who worked as both realtor and property manager.
And the building’s rent had dropped from one silver coin to one copper coin.
How nice.
Su Li wore a sacred smile as he welcod the al Lan Zhe brought out.
Then, his erald crescent eyes grew bigger and brighter than ever before in his life.
The key point wasn’t just that Lan Zhe’s food was delicious, but that he brought out a pot of rice!
That was rice!
Heaven knows what kind of life he’d been living in this world for over half a year.
Now…
Su Li could rightfully and naturally say that line…
“Between hell, earth, and heaven, there’s always just a fine line. Today, I am seated in heaven.” His smile was so sacred, his voice so ethereal, showing his unique serious attitude toward rice.
However, in the next second, Su Li was thrown back into hell.
Because Lan Zhe took out a very familiar-looking notebook and, with a casual smile at the corner of his mouth, wrote down that quote.
“How… how do you have that notebook?”
The cat was shocked.
“Ah,” Lan Zhe thought for a mont and said, “That fellow Egbert said, ‘My great undertaking needs ti to advance, and I cannot stay by Lord Su Li’s side for long, I’m truly ashad,’ so he chose to have help record things. We are friends after all, I can’t just ignore his spiritual nourishnt, right?”
Su Li’s pointing finger trembled. “So you can ignore instead?”
Lan Zhe pointed to the rice beside them.
......
............
Su Li: Holy Son Brand: New-Age Stay-at-Ho Husband, absolutely amazing! (Thumbs up)
