Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Jealousy. (50,000 nutrient solution plus more)...
The stone path in the woods winds through the lush green bushes. The surrounding air is fresh, with the fragrance of soil and the moisture of lake water.
Su Cheng walked over with mixed feelings, "...What are you doing?"
Unicorns can no longer be considered magical beasts. Although most of them cannot speak, their IQ is similar to that of dragons.
So it's not easy to fool.
And unlike the dragons' usual appreciation of strength, unicorns don't really like humans or any other intelligent creatures.
Therefore, only a few people with noble character and pure heart can gain the favor of unicorns.
——This kind of favor means spending some time with people and having a certain chance of accepting feeding if the food suits their taste.
If you want to establish a contract with a unicorn, it is extremely difficult.
And the most contradictory thing is that if you approach unicorns with this utilitarian mentality, they will feel something and leave immediately.
Those who are allowed to spend time with unicorns often don't have such thoughts.
Among the odd-toed ungulate beasts, the most common ones to form contracts with humans, orcs, elves, and other races and become their companions and mounts are various horses.
The winged Pegasus are especially popular. They are very patient, most of them have good personalities, are very smart, and are not picky about food.
Therefore, normal people who want to get a unicorn will give up because it is too difficult and turn to seek other goals.
But in order to obtain some special precious materials, or to grab huge profits——
Some mercenaries even harm unicorns or capture young unicorns and forcibly imprison them.
It is said that such people will be retaliated by the God of Purity because this is an absolute blasphemy.
but--
To the gods, the unicorn may just be a magical beast with unique attributes.
Su Cheng understood this logic. "I can imagine that you must have many ways to make them follow you voluntarily without hurting them..."
The corners of her mouth twitched as she spoke, "But if you want to give me this, I won't let it be raised by me, right? I remember unicorns being like this, unless you raise them from a very young age, and those usually have to be surrounded by a few mountains..."
Ian raised his eyebrows slightly, "I don't want to cause you any trouble. I just thought that seeing this might make you feel better. Don't you like it?"
Su Cheng thought of the promise about the surprise and couldn't help coughing, "Who told you I like this?"
Ian said in a joking tone: "I remember in the temple of Jinbo City, you said that -"
He said this, but his expression didn't look particularly happy.
Su Cheng held his forehead and said, "Okay, okay, it was a misunderstanding."
But then again——
She still couldn't help but look at the unicorn.
Compared to the majestic Pegasus statue in the temple, this unicorn appears smaller because it has no wings, but its physique is also extremely strong.
His fur was pure snow-white with a hazy misty luster. Every inch of muscle in his body was ready to go, and he had a pair of gentle gray-blue eyes.
Su Cheng looked at him for a second.
She suddenly remembered an evening filled with rosy clouds, the rosy sunset burning on that person's irises, and the bonfire party filled with laughter and fireworks.
The unicorn turned its head, grabbed a willow branch with its mouth, and tore it twice in anger.
Su Cheng suddenly came back to his senses, "...Thank you, I think he is very beautiful, but I am not you after all."
She looked at Ian and said, "You are a god. You have a way to prevent them from rejecting you. As for me, I am obviously not the pure and flawless person that unicorns admire."
Ian looked at the "unicorn" chewing on the branch.
Ian: “…”
Ian turned around and asked, "What do you think is pure and flawless?"
Su Cheng looked at the unicorn's silhouette. "...there's no malice or greed in your heart. You're always understanding and forgiving of others, and you don't have any selfish thoughts. Is that right?"
"Really?" Ian asked back, "You've seen the former God of Purity. Do you think he's that kind of person?"
"Doesn't he count—wait," Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, "If he does, he shouldn't say those things to me..."
He once said that he wished his mother was like her.
If he were completely selfless, he would definitely think that his mother was great for sacrificing herself to fulfill her duties as the mayor, and he would not have such resentment.
"Hmm? What?"
"He said," Su Cheng was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, "That's his privacy, right? Even though our relationship is not good, I don't want to talk about him everywhere."
Ian glanced at her and said, "Then you don't have to tell me. I guess you already have the answer in your heart."
He gazed at the boundless lake before him. "The peaks of snow-capped mountains are neither good nor evil, yet they remain the purest existence in people's eyes. Look, some people, upon seeing a blooming flower, would want to break it off and put it in a vase, while others would simply leave it on the branch. The former may not harbor ill intentions, but simply love its vibrant color, while the latter understands that possession would destroy this beauty. What do you think when you see a unicorn?"
Su Cheng: “…”
"You think unicorns are not used to being kept. Your first thought is not that you like him and want to force him to stay with you. After all, it's not impossible for you to do it."
"Okay," Su Cheng nodded helplessly, "I understand what you mean, alright, but... let's not talk about these idealistic things. Doesn't the unicorn also dislike the power of darkness?"
Ian looked at her with interest, "Dark type?"
"Yeah," Su Cheng spread out his hands. "I won't pretend in front of you. After all, the God of Purity must hate those auras the most, right? Since his incarnation includes a unicorn, I assume that unicorns should have some similar characteristics. So, although I really want to touch him now, I think he will probably refuse."
Ian was silent for a moment. "Although his temper isn't very good, I don't think he'll react too violently. After all, he's already here."
Su Cheng looked at him suspiciously, "What? Did you hypnotize this unicorn? Or use some other mind control method? Aren't you afraid that the God of Purity will cause trouble for you?"
Ian couldn't help laughing. "Haven't you also done something he didn't like? And it was related to him."
Su Cheng looked up at the sky. "That's different. I don't work with him. Besides, my experience is very complicated—"
"Oh? I thought you were still afraid of him."
"Who said that?" Su Cheng immediately retorted, "If you talk about my experience in the Echo Plane, I've fought with gods more than once. I even danced with a certain Supreme God."
Ian: "What are you talking about—"
Ian: “?”
Ian: “…………When did it happen?”
Su Cheng blinked. "Just after you ignored me, the next day was Twilight City's Carnival, that festival—"
"I know what it is," Ian interrupted her, "…it was that day."
He seemed relatively calm, but there seemed to be a storm brewing in his golden eyes. "How dramatic! I guess he ended your trial."
Su Cheng pondered that since the Dark God's memories were also included in it, the Dark God himself would definitely not be willing to let others peek into this story.
So it's normal that Ian doesn't know.
Su Cheng: "Yes?"
Ian chuckled softly, "Of course he would do that, otherwise you and I might meet again--"
Then he stopped talking.
The atmosphere suddenly became suffocating.
Su Cheng silently turned his head and looked at the clear lake water sparkling in the sun. The flowing clouds, forests and city wall spires were all reflected on the mirror-like water surface, and ripples were formed by the wind. Occasionally, a few snow-white swans flapped their wings and landed, swimming leisurely on the lake.
She saw two swans swimming towards the lake. "Hey, they look hungry. From my experience, they probably need to eat. Do you have any fruit?"
The next second, a slender hand as white as jade approached from the side and handed over a round red apple.
The apple was bright red, like fire burning in honey, and you could smell the rich sweetness when you held it in your hand.
The swans seemed to smell the scent as well, and they came over with a flutter, stretching their necks to fight for it.
"Don't worry, don't worry—"
Su Cheng broke the apple into small pieces and threw them to them. The juicy flesh exuded a fermented sweetness.
She couldn't help but take a deep sniff, "Oh my God, this couldn't be something you stole from the Divine Domain Garden."
The swans ate the apples happily, even making happy noises and flapping their wings to splash tiny water drops.
"……No."
A low and cold voice came from the side.
Su Cheng's whole body stiffened.
She turned around in shock and met the long-lost gray-blue eyes.
The months in Tielong Town flew by like a roaring train passing through the silent world of memory.
She stared at him blankly.
The silver-haired young man stared at her silently, as if they were still practicing swordplay on the sand in the backyard, or fighting in a quiet valley—
“…I grew it myself.”
He said calmly.
Su Cheng hesitated to speak.
His hair was like a frozen glacier in deep winter, shrouded in the light mist of the inner ring of the moon halo, curling into elegant arcs and casually tied behind his waist.
That face with clear and deep lines, with the sharp edges of a glacier, the curves of the brow, cheekbones and jaw are as perfect as ever.
It was exactly the same as a face in her memory.
Maybe it was because she was not in the descending state, or maybe he did it on purpose, or maybe her strength had increased a lot.
Su Cheng was not affected much by the power of the gods and was now as clear-headed as could be.
"In the real world without me..."
She spoke slowly, "Did the apple tree you planted on the hill behind the Tielong Town mansion produce sweet fruit?"
The silver-haired young man's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know."
Su Cheng: “?”
Su Cheng: "You gave up? Didn't you taste those apples again?"
He glanced at her, his gray-blue eyes tangled with unspeakable emotions, and then turned his head away.
"...I replaced my memory," he said slowly, "What you did in the trial became part of my past."
Su Cheng looked at him in disbelief. "Honestly, I can understand why Gerald did that, but why did you do that?"
After all, she supported the Jealous God and beat up his disgusting father. Besides, he didn't seem to have any good friends and his relationship with his family was even worse.
It must be rare to have a gay friend like me who falls in love with you and develop an ambiguous relationship with you.
The God of Purity originally had a happy life. Even though it was a bit regrettable that he didn't learn magic, he still had kind and lovely brothers and sisters and a mother who loved him.
Is it important to have yourself?
Su Cheng: "Or Mr. Chef, after all, he doesn't get along well with his family--"
"That's enough," the silver-haired young man closed his eyes, "I don't want to hear any dirty names from you anymore."
"Ha, that's really interesting," Su Cheng sneered, "Since you have that memory, then you must understand that there is no difference between the Church and the Secret Cult. They are both the murderers who killed your entire family."
She originally thought that the other party would be furious, and was even prepared to be teleported away, or to die here once.
However, he just looked at her quietly, "Then let me put it another way. I don't want to hear any names from your mouth."
Su Cheng: “…”
So you're still jealous?
Su Cheng: "It's your business if you don't want to, it's my business what I do. Are you someone I have to obey? I don't want to hear any such words from you again."
He turned his head, "Well, if that's all I can ask of you."
Su Cheng: “…………”
If he hadn't acted like everyone owed him five million, he'd be more like Charles than the God of Purity.
Su Cheng: "So why did you replace that note——"
Before she finished speaking, the god in front of her suddenly turned around, bent down and kissed her.
