Chapter 8 Desire



25

Su Yun walked into the palace again.

The palace where he was now was constantly crowded with people, but everyone had a numb look on their faces - they were abandoned people, and at any time they might be infected with the deadly plague hidden in some corner of the palace. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they would be buried with the king after his death.

Su Yun walked slowly along the corridor and saw the place of execution. Many "sinners" were tied to the ground. They were scorched by the scorching sun and would die painfully under the burning torture.

The country calls this punishment "yang punishment," meaning that the sun's light and heat will cleanse sins.

Among this group of poor people, Su Yun saw two women who looked barely familiar.

They were the slave girls who were holding flowers and gossiping that day.

"...Those two slave girls deserve to die too!" The boy's voice seemed to ring in Su Yun's ears again.

Did he get it executed? He is a child who always keeps his word.

Su Yun walked aimlessly and finally stepped into the temple in the palace.

Very good, the person standing in the shrine in the center is indeed the ugly man in the long robe... Su Yun couldn't help but cover his face.

Just at this moment, the crying sound of a young baby or kitten was heard, breaking the silence of the hall.

26

The little girl cried.

Of course she would feel sad and cry without a slave girl to take care of her.

The princess only cared about her own son and never cared about the children of her concubines. For example, she could abandon the little princess who had not yet begun to remember things, and she would also order the little prince to stay and take care of his dying father.

Thutmose knelt before the statue, and in a trance, all he could see was the princess's usual gentle smile.

The princess used to be so gentle. After his mother died, she took care of him meticulously, but this time, she was the first to give the order to abandon him.

Why?

Wasn't it because he wasn't her biological child? But he loved her and her brother so much, and made so many vows to help her brother, why?

There was no need to keep the prince to take care of the terminally ill king. The princess just wanted him dead.

Why?

Through the wall, the little sister's crying became weaker and weaker, and Thutmose thought she was going to die of weakness.

That's my sister... The boy got up from the statue, turned around and ran towards the palace where the cradle was.

However, the boy saw the man beside his younger sister's cradle.

The one in the black robe has

A man with snow-white skin, he was so beautiful that he couldn't even tell his gender.

Is he really human?

27

Su Yun saw a little girl crying in the cradle.

This must be the little princess... She is probably only two or three years old and doesn't understand anything yet.

The girl mumbled a name, but the owner of this name... was most likely the old woman who was executed by the princess.

"How pitiful." Su Yun reached out and touched the girl's tender face. He felt like he was looking at a cat or dog with a broken leg, with a condescending indifference.

The Su Yun in the real world is definitely not like this, he loves children very much, and the old father's mood is especially good. When treating such an abandoned baby, he should be angry, distressed, and extremely patient, instead of this... cold pity.

But this is not sympathy, the basis of sympathy is understanding.

In this strange dream, Su Yun's emotions seemed to be covered by a layer of mist that could not be dispelled no matter what.

Footsteps came from next door, and the boy who had hidden in the corridor a few days ago appeared again. He stood at the door, gasping for breath, his eyes fixed on Su Yun.

Su Yun smiled at him: "We meet again."

"She is my sister," the boy said first, and then he added, "I am Thutmose."

"Thutmose? Nice to meet you." Su Yun nodded, "Your sister looks very unwell. She needs care."

Boy: "The princess abandoned us, we have no one."

Su Yun sighed softly: "Then... I will give this girl a strong body? She is very cute."

"Who are you?" Thutmose asked, "Who are you?!"

Su Yun looked up at the boy, smiled slightly, then turned and left.

who I am?

Why should I tell you?

28

Su Yun returned to the big house by the lake, rescued Alice, and explained the human war to her.

However, hindsight is of no use after all, because the king's death due to plague and the escape of the princess and the prince, the capital fell into complete chaos.

Then came the news that the rebel army was gradually gaining momentum.

The king died, the palace was burned down, and the princess, who lived far away in another prosperous city, made her prince, the king's only son, the new monarch.

Looking at the beautiful building disappearing in the flames, Su Yun sighed with regret.

The people in the capital fled in all directions, and Su Yun witnessed how epidemics and wars destroyed the country.

of a city.

Teresa lost her job in the public riots, and then, with Su Yun's comfort, she returned to the Father with great joy and regret.

29

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, but there was still a cool breeze in the mansion. One reason was because it was next to the river, and the other was because Su Yun liked this temperature.

The huge courtyard was full of lush vegetation, and it was not until the beginning of summer that Su Yun discovered that there were grapes in the yard.

He picked a bunch at random. He didn't know whether it was because the grapes were of excellent variety or because of his own influence, but the fruits were large and sweet as honey. Su Yun lowered the temperature and got chilled grapes.

It’s really convenient...everything you want will come true.

Su Yun walked back into the house carrying the bunch of crystal-like grapes.

The hall in the mansion had become a sea of ​​files at this time. Countless clay tablets and scrolls were neatly stacked in every corner. Theresa sat in the center, browsing through the registration quickly.

Today, the rebels have completely taken control of the royal capital, and the class reshuffle has brought unprecedented chaos. The "priest" identity that Theresa had worked so hard to obtain was unfortunately "killed" by the rebels. There were countless conflicts, and Su Yun did not ask, so Theresa did not elaborate.

The reason why the unemployed young man was still so busy was just because Su Yun inadvertently sighed: "The civilization here is very interesting, I want to learn more about it."

"Theresa, don't you want to take a break?" Su Yun asked, "You've been busy for a long time, right?"

The young man in the pile of information looked up in surprise, and immediately stood up and said, "Father God!"

He saw the grapes in Su Yun's hand and was about to say something, but Su Yun stopped him immediately: "Don't ask questions, just answer me directly - Theresa, do you like grapes?"

The young man's face immediately turned red, but his eyes slowly lit up: "I like it!"

Su Yun nodded with satisfaction and handed him the bunch of grapes: "The fruits in the backyard are ripe, try it."

Feeding Alice and Theresa is a very interesting process. At the beginning, their personalities are just like the pre-set characters, with "Don't abandon me" written all over their faces, which makes Su Yun feel a little sad. Whenever he tries to ask them about their preferences, the only answers he can get are "Anything is fine" and "As long as the Father likes it".

Alice will always act coquettishly no matter what you say, but her coquettishness is like that of a little animal. She likes you very much but doesn't dare to rub against you boldly... She is so pitiful and cute.

As for Theresa - although he looked

He seems to be a mature young man, but he is essentially more fearful than Alice. He lowers his head and does things silently, and every time he looks at Su Yun, his eyes are full of caution.

Oh, these two poor little ones...

In order to prevent the bighead carp incident from happening again, Su Yun began to try feeding these two little cuties.

The first step is to increase physical contact, such as helping to comb hair and other caring actions for children.

Then just give them small gifts. If children lack a sense of security, it is mostly because their parents are not caring. If you tell your baby where you are going before going out every day and remember to bring some small gifts when you go home, you can perfectly resolve parent-child conflicts.

Su Yun tried to do it once a day, and after a few months, he finally got Alice and Theresa to relax a little.

Then it enters the small stage where feeding can be done.

Su Yun looked at Theresa's eyes sparkling with joy, and a sincere sense of happiness and accomplishment rose in his heart.

Maybe one day he would hear "I don't like it" from Theresa.

30

Teresa looked at the grapes in the Father's hand, suppressing herself with joy and pain.

Since he came back to life, every day has been so happy, with little bits of joy constantly increasing, and the good days seem to have no end.

Teresa threw down the paper and pen in her hand and was about to hold the gift of God the Father with both hands when she heard him say, "Are you writing something? Don't worry, keep writing... Don't you have anywhere to put it?"

How can you be so gentle...

"I'm fine!" Theresa said hastily. "Please put it in my hand!"

Teresa's mind was full of thoughts about not worrying the Father, but it only took one sentence to break the young man's mind.

The black-haired, silver-eyed man smiled and said softly, "Then shall I feed you?"

Theresa officially stopped thinking.

He heard himself utter a confused syllable stupidly: "Huh?"

"Hurry up and sit down." His Father God walked towards him. "You've been busy enough... After feeding you, I still have to go to the palace to take a look. The library can't be burned down by the rebels."

In the past, Theresa would have jumped up and ran to the palace to protect the "library" favored by God the Father, but at this moment he had completely lost his ability to think, and he sat down obediently and instinctively followed God the Father's words.

The moment she touched the stool, Theresa finally came to her senses a little. She looked up at the Father who was so close to her, her eyes shining.

How...how can this be...this is not right...

Teresa thought guiltily, but how could I refuse? I...I...

He looks

When I saw myself reflected in the Father God's light silver eyes, who was that believer with a flushed face? Such an ugly gesture, wasn't it blasphemy against God?

The young man lowered his head in shame and looked at the fingertips of Father God.

He saw those pale fingers pick a grape, the fruit was red to purple, purple to black, the extreme color contrast reached its peak the moment the man raised his hand and the black robe slipped off!

Pure black, purple, pale white... How beautiful, how deadly...

"I think I saw some figs." The man laughed softly. "I don't know if I saw it wrongly. Maybe I can go find some pomegranate trees. I wonder if the pomegranates are sweet at this time of year."

Is it sweet? Of course it is sweet! How can there be something bitter in your hand? That is a heinous crime!

Theresa's lips parted in a trembling voice, and he knew his breath was coming in short gasps, but he thought he could hold it in.

The dark purple fruit came closer, it was the pale fingertips, if only they could be stained with a little bright color——

“Bang!”

At this moment, the wooden door was suddenly pushed open.

The blond boy rushed into the room whimpering and pretend crying.

"Father God!" Alice's eyes were red and she was aggrieved. "Why do you want to be attached to a human being?"
