Chapter 183: 183
Alaya was in great distress, very great distress.
Lord Brother had always instructed her not to expose her secrets to ordinary people, and the reason for that Alaya understood all too well: He feared trouble.
Really, Lord Brother’s fear of trouble was extre; it seed there was no one else in the world who dreaded trouble more than he did. This wasn’t surprising since Lady Lin Xue often accused him of being unambitious, content to scrape by, lacking any great aspirations because in Lord Brother’s eyes, striving for supremacy was just too much trouble…
Yet today, this matter was an absolutely huge trouble—without ntioning anything else, the appearance of Ghosts and an Angel before common people was an issue that absolutely couldn’t be smoothed over, one that would surely give soone a splitting headache.
At this thought, Alaya felt even more speechless about a certain clumsy Little Ghost hiding to the side with an innocent look: Exactly how had this guy been keeping watch? Hadn’t it been made clear that, when everyone was out, under no circumstances should strangers be allowed into the house? But look at the situation now; not only had soone co in, but they had done so with such a commotion…
Of course, Alaya didn’t know that while Anwina had strictly followed the instruction of “resolutely not opening the door,” the thods the Invaders used to break in were even more startling…
“Will they start fighting?” At this mont, Lin Feng and Ding Ling both had such a thought cross their minds.
After all, an Angel and a Dead Soul, these were characters from two extrely opposing camps. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know what to expect, right? According to common sense, a real-life clash between gods and demons was probably imminent. Now the question was, regardless of which of them gained the upper hand, folks like themselves, re Mortals, would hardly co out unscathed…
“Run away?” Having regained their calm, Lin Feng and Ding Ling exchanged glances, sharing the sa ssage.
Then, almost simultaneously, they nodded, making a quite wise decision: “Run away!”
Why wouldn’t they run?! Never mind why Angels and Dead Souls, representing a preposterous proposition filled with philosophical dialectics and scientific paradoxes, would appear in the real world—the important thing now was that the three Humans present didn’t seem like they could survive the battle between these Legendary-level beings…
Don’t think that Lin Feng and Ding Ling were blindly believing in myths and legends and exaggerating this Angel’s power. They had just witnessed with their own eyes that the light barrier, which they had no ability to resist, didn’t last even a mont in the Angel’s hands…
However, just as Lin Feng and Ding Ling turned their heads, intending to sneak away, a holy and ethereal voice suddenly rang out from behind them: “Humans, please wait a mont!”
Alaya had made up her mind; since such an unexpected situation had occurred, she might as well clarify so things!
It couldn’t be helped; Lin Feng and Ding Ling had seen both her and Anwina. If they were allowed to leave, it would definitely lead to a lot of trouble. But they were friends of Lord Brother, and she couldn’t possibly silence them by force, could she?
Rather than let them seek answers out of strong curiosity, which would bring her trouble, it might be better to tell them so truths. In this way, if they were smart enough, they would know to keep secrets.
The human heart is always a complicated thing; a secret, when you cover it up by all ans, will only make those who know only half the story desperately seek answers. However, when you make everything clear and tie the other party to the sa boat, that’s when the secret becos even safer…
Although Alaya didn’t fully understand human psychology, she still made the correct decision based on her intuition.
Moreover, there was one more important thing Alaya had just thought of: although Lord Brother was quite averse to trouble, he was in fact becoming one of the Humans who encountered the most trouble in the world… So, with more trouble than one could count, what was a little more going to hurt—probably, he wouldn’t bla her, right?
Hearing the Angel herself asking them to stay, even if Lin Feng and Ding Ling wanted to run away imdiately, they now had to obediently turn around, and a hint of excitent also rose in their hearts: This was an Angel! A genuine Angel! A being that existed only in myths and legends was now standing right in front of them, talking to them—how could this not be exciting?
Who could ever imagine such an experience?
“Don’t think that just because you’ve plastered yourself on the wall I’ll really take you for wallpaper,” Lin Feng, who had stopped Ding Ling and was holding Sally, addressed Anwina who had turned herself into a black shadow clinging tightly to the wall pretending to be a picture. Anwina imdiately shuddered and obediently floated down from the wall, then stood in front of Alaya with a pitiful look.
At this point, Anwina still didn’t understand what her true mistake was and thought it was rely not keeping the house in check that made Alaya so angry. If she had known that what really upset the other party was the fact she had fought with her master’s friend—fearful would be the little ghost maid who always aid to be the best, probably wishing for a way to off herself to apologize to the world…
anwhile, Lin Feng and Ding Ling were also taken aback. It seed that they weren’t about to fight, right?
How could it be? An angel and a Dead Soul, actually acquainted with each other? And judging from the angel’s tone of voice, although she was expressing dissatisfaction, it was the kind of complaint that only very close people would share, as if a sister was reprimanding her younger sibling for a slip-up—part annoyance and part concern. Good heavens, this was even harder to believe than if Jesus turned out to be a woman!
But the reality was before their eyes, and neither Lin Feng nor Ding Ling had the luxury of doubting whether they were hallucinating. They had no choice but to sit on the only remaining, tattered couch in the living room as instructed by the angel, all the while full of confusion. anwhile, the maid-costud ghost also sat down in front of them with a bitter expression. Of course, due to the innate advantages of a ghost, Anwina was just hovering in the air, appearing to sit; after all, except for the broken couch under Lin Feng, nowhere else in the living room was suitable for sitting.
“Alright, now can soone explain to exactly what happened?” Once both parties were seated, Alaya casually transford the energy longsword in her hand back into scattering golden sparks, then floated midair, speaking from a position of authority.
This wasn’t because Alaya considered herself superior and insisted on speaking in such a manner, but because she rembered Chen Jun’s words of advice: “Rember, Alaya, always rember, never stand on the ground when there are outsiders present!”
Lin Feng didn’t feel anything improper. In his eyes, angels were naturally exalted and sacred beings. If Miss Angel were to really co down and squat with everyone for a barbecue, that would truly be shocking!
If Alaya knew the Mind Reading Technique at that mont, she would surely exclaim, “Ah! How does this human know about the barbecue that Lady Sandora dragged to yesterday?!”
Due to a certain super hobody maid’s extre numbness to the external environnt, the true course of events had to be recounted by Lin Feng and Ding Ling. Neither was very eloquent, but as the main culprits of the incident, it sufficed to describe in detail how the current situation ca to be…
For the first ti, Ding Ling discovered that there were tis when every word she spoke made her so fearful that she sweated profusely. This girl who had never been afraid of anything was now terrified, simply because of a question the angel had asked earlier, “Why has my ho turned out like this?”
Her ho? This angel, she lives here?! Oh, heavens, just who exactly is Chen Jun?!
Even more fatal—I’ve actually wrecked the angel’s ho!!!
After listening to the detailed account of events, all Alaya could do was sigh: Fate, oh fate! How can there be soone else in the world like Lady Lin Xue… ah, my transgression…
“So that’s how it is, it seems everything was… a misunderstanding…” With things having reached this point, Alaya had no choice but to chalk everything up to a misunderstanding; after all, they couldn’t exactly subject Ding Ling to military discipline over this.
At the sa ti, Alaya realized she had forgotten to introduce herself. Because she already knew the other party well, she had neglected this detail; but now she rembered that they had not yet t her…
“Now let introduce myself: My na is Alaya, the Chief Governor to the great Monarch Chen Jun. Beside is Anwina, the Maid to the great Monarch Chen Jun, and also my disciple…”
“Chen Jun!” Although they had already guessed this na, when Lin Feng and Ding Ling actually heard it from her mouth, they exclaid in shock, “Could he be God?”
