Chapter 151 King Oscar
Fang Yu frowned but said nothing when he pulled away and started setting up formations that would keep them safe inside the small house. Mo Li’s words and actions were too familiar it was as if she had seen sothing like this before. But she couldn’t figure out where.
Fang Yu sighed and decided to start reading the recipe again before she started cultivating. When Fang Yu finished her cultivation, she found Mo Li sitting on the stool on the veranda of the small house. Then, her eyes darted towards the woman that was on the ground a few ters from them.
"What is she doing?" she asked as she stared at Lara’s tear stricken face.
"She fell while walking."
"Oh." Fang Yu nodded. She imdiately understood what the woman’s purpose was. She fell and wanted help. "Why didn’t you help her?"
"Why should I?" Mo Li finally raised his head and looked at her. In the first place, he was never the type to help soone in need. "She doesn’t need my help."
Fang Yu just shrugged. She wasn’t willing to help her, either. She watched as Lara continued to scream, her eyes were full of resentnt as she looked at Fang Yu and Mo Li. About ten minutes ago, she saw Mo Li on the veranda carving sothing. So, she imdiately walked towards the house under the pretense of asking them what they wanted to eat for dinner. Who would have thought that she would fell because of a small pebble?
Lara couldn’t help but wonder if this was Mo Li’s doing. Lara already tried everything to attract Mo Li’s attention, from sobbing to wailing to fainting. However, Mo Li didn’t even look at her and just continued carving the wood. How could soone act like that? Because of this, Lara was forced to shout for help instead. But because this house was originally off-limits, no one actually ca here, so no one heard her shouts.
"Help!" She imdiately shouted when she saw Fang Yu went out of the door. For a few seconds, Fang Yu looked at her before she looked at Mo Li. Lara actually thought that Fang Yu would help her out and probably asked Mo Li to carry her to the house. However, after a couple of seconds of talking, Lara quickly realized that Fang Yu also decided to ignore her.
These two are so cold-hearted. Lara never expected that she would one day et such people in this lifeti.
Of course, Fang Yu and Mo Li just ignored her as they continued talking about artifacts and even about pill making and potion brewing. After a couple of minutes, people finally show up to help Lara. However, along with this, another news arrived.
The King will visit the village in two days.
Both Mo Li and Fang Yu stared at each other as they wondered why the king of this world would co in here. They couldn’t help but wonder if it was because of them.
"The King of Ghosts... do you know what does he look like?" Fang Yu gulped as she balled her hands into fists. She couldn’t help but wonder if the King of Ghosts would be headless or soone with an extrely pale face. What if it was soone with a knife on its head?
Just watching Fang Yu act like this made Mo Li laughed out loud. "The king looked just like a normal King. There is no need to worry about appearances. But you have to worry about his treacherous nature."
"You — Have you t him before?"
Mo Li shook his head. "He doesn’t know who I am." He assured her. "But I have t him before."
"You— "
"I was using one of my identities."
"Oh... so... what was he like?"
"Treacherous and cruel," he answered. Mo Li already guessed that the visit had sothing to do with his presence. After all, seers cannot see Fang Yu. "I suggest you start making your pill now. You needed ten years to finish it." Ten years here was only a month in the human world.
"Hmmm." Fang Yu nodded and decided to stop thinking about other things for now and focus on their real goal. Cultivation and pills. That was the reason why they were here.
Fang Yu and Mo Li just stayed in the house and didn’t accept any invitations from the Village Chief or even from Lara. And just like that, two days already passed.
As expected, the Village Chief personally ca this ti to escort them towards the King.
"Your highness," the Village Chief bowed before the man who looked as if he was only thirty years old, wearing a purple robe with a lot of detailing on the seams. "The Immortals are here."
"Hmmm." The man looked at Mo Li and Fang Yu, who stood looking straight at him. "Klum... thank you. You can leave now." He smiled, his voice was warm— sothing that surprised Fang Yu. When thinking about kings, Fang Yu thought about people who looked fifty years old with goatees and beards and long hair with wise eyes. This man, however, looked like the exact opposite of her expectations. "I am called King Oscar." The man smiled. "I am sure you are already aware of my na?"
"No." Mo Li responded almost imdiately. "This is our first ti traveling in between worlds."
"Oh? So... you can travel In between worlds? May I know if you are using an artifact? Or... maybe... you can use space magic?"
"May I know what does his highness wants?" Fang Yu chid in. "We just got married and decided to travel together. We do not wish to disturb this world." Fang Yu decided to thread carefully which only made Mo Li irritated. He couldn’t help but wonder why was Fang Yu treating this man so well. Of course, he wasn’t aware that it was because of the task that appeared in Fang Yu’s system.
[Quest: Discover King Oscar’s connection to the Devils and the reincarnator. Rewards: Twenty points. No option to decline.]
Even Fang Yu was a little surprised to know that there was actually a task in this world. And why would the task involve the reincarnator? But now that Fang Yu thought about it carefully, she imdiately realized that there might be so connection between this world and the reincarnator.
"Newlyweds?" King Oscar raised an eyebrow. "Ah... I couldn’t rember when was the last ti that a newlywed couple actually decided to stay in this world to enjoy a honeymoon." He covered his mouth with a paper fang as he laughed. "So? You didn’t answer my question. Was it an artifact? Or you can use space?"
"Artifact." Mo Li answered. "Soone gifted an artifact to our wedding. Thus, we decided to use it to roam the universe."
"What a grand gift." King Oscar smiled, his eyes squinting. "Fret not... I am not going to ask you to show it to or snatch the artifact from you. After all, it is useless to . Souls... or rather people who occupy this world can never leave unless they die." There was a tinge of anger in his voice, sothing that Fang Yu imdiately notice.
’Hey... how old is he?’ she sent a voice transmission towards Mo Li.
’Probably two or three years.’
’Why does he look like that?’ she asked. According to Mo Li, everyone in this world are just like a normal human. They get sick and age and then they die. So why was this person still here?
’Cursed by soone from the divine realm.’
’Don’t tell ...’
’No. He is not soone from the divine realm. He was nothing but a thief who wanted to beco a divine creature. So he tried to steal sothing from the divine realm. He was not talented enough and he ended up like this.’
’So... it ans he wouldn’t die?’
’Yes. He will stay like this forever.’
Fang Yu sighed inwardly. What was more cruel than living like this forever? This man was already a king and he already has everything that he could ask for. However, he could only watch the people around him leave and reincarnate while he stays in this world forever, without the hope of reincarnation or even dying.
"So... My dear Immortals. You haven’t introduced your na yet." King Oscar smiled at them.
"I am called Mo Li and this is my wife Fang Yu."
"Good... Good! I am very pleased to et another immortal. The Village chief told that you are staying here so you could help him with the savages?"
"Yes." Mo Li answered.
"Since it’s like that... " The King suddenly clapped his hands and an old man suddenly appeared beside him.
’Human’ Mo Li noted. ’Cultivator. With the sa cultivation as you. It’s either this man can use space or... he has an artifact with him.’ Mo Li sent the voice transmission to Fang Yu.
"This is Ming and he will stay here in the village while I bring the two of you to visit my kingdom. Since you two are here because of your honeymoon, then why not visit my castle. I am sure you would enjoy it."
