Chapter 72 Existence
"I like it." Lu Yi said very naturally, "I like it very much."
He didn't lie. Lu Yi really thought that the grape-flavored pills tasted good. The rich taste and diverse layers of sweet, sour and astringent gave him an excellent experience.
He looked at Ares sincerely.
Ares's eyes fell on the seat next to him and he signaled Lu Yi with his eyes.
"sit."
Lu Yi noticed that the cushion Ares was sitting on was dark gray, while the place where he sat was padded with pink cushions.
A very tender pink color.
Lu Yi suppressed the slight awkwardness in his heart and imitated Ares' sitting posture, sitting cross-legged elegantly on the mat.
His noble and delicate face should have been full of incongruity with the cross-legged sitting posture, but Lu Yi's natural movements made this somewhat rough and unrestrained cross-legged sitting posture look like an uninhibited and noble feeling.
The touch on her buttocks was a little too soft.
It is even more comfortable than the special cushions at Klein Manor, and it is a very special sitting feeling.
The material filling the cushions was unlike anything he knew.
Adhering to the principle of asking questions and being open-minded, Lu Yi turned to Ares curiously and asked, "Teacher, what is the filling material of this cushion? It feels like a very special material."
A cushion of the same style but different color appeared out of thin air in Ares' hand. He handed it to Lu Yi and said concisely, "Open it and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi took the cushion and controlled the subtle magic power in his hands to cut open the thin but strong cloth cover outside the cushion, while muttering softly: "...If there are cushions of other colors, give me the pink one."
Ares glanced at him and said calmly, "Don't you like pink?"
Lu Yi looked up and smiled at him, "I like it."
If he wasn't feeling timid now, how could he be so easy to control? Lu Yi secretly thought that he must give Ares something pink later!
The black cloth cover was precisely cut open by Lu Yi's magic power, and a straight gap appeared, exposing the filling material in the cushion to the air.
Lu Yi frowned slightly, reached out and twisted the unusually soft and white feathers, examining them carefully.
"Teacher, I can't figure out what this is..." Lu Yi said honestly.
Ares nodded and explained slowly: "It's normal that you can't see it. It would be strange if you could recognize it."
Lu Yi gently tugged at his wide hem and begged helplessly, "Don't keep me in suspense, Teacher Ares."
Ares looked at him calmly. Although he enjoyed this kind of coquettish intimacy in his heart, his face was still serious and cold.
"Okay." He whispered, "It's not like I'm not telling you."
"This is the first feather of an angelic race. The last human that saw one was probably dead a thousand years ago."
Lu Yi pinched the feather in his hand and took a breath of cold air.
What hair?
The first feathers of the angelic race?
It’s such a big deal.
"Then this thing has become extinct?"
The gods have long been dead, not to mention the gods among gods, the angels.
This superior race has long been a historical term that only appears in books.
Ares nodded, "You could say that."
During the many, many years of Ragnarok, he showed no mercy when he killed the gods.
He also destroyed the angels, the most loyal tribe of the God of Light.
This is also the origin of the angel Chu Yu in the cushion.
Lu Yi obviously also thought of the way to obtain the cushion filling. He looked at Ares and whispered, "...You killed them? Killed them all?"
Ares nodded silently.
He is worthy of being called the God of Death. Lu Yi's eyes were filled with shock, and the little thoughts in his heart were silently reduced a lot.
If he ever gets upset with him, wouldn't it be like smacking an ant? Lu Yi couldn't help but imagine.
Ares seemed to have seen through the chaos in his mind and patted his head gently.
"Don't think too much. Have I done anything wrong to you?"
Lu Yi shook his head and said sincerely: "It's not that he treated me badly, but Teacher Ares was too good to me."
Ares looked a little confused when he heard this.
"You think I'm very good to you, so why are you upset because of me?"
Ares, the god of war and murder, finds it difficult to understand this kind of anxiety in human beings.
After becoming a human clone, Ares' emotions were greatly amplified. But even so, some differences in thinking still made him confused about the complex and elusive emotions of the human race.
Especially Lu Yi’s emotions.
Because I care about Lu Yi's emotions, I am particularly concerned about the confusion caused by Lu Yi.
Just like this time.
Ares clearly sensed that Lu Yi wanted to tell him something about Eris, but Lu Yi never mentioned it, and even the tendency to mention it was slowly disappearing.
In fact, he didn't care at all what Lu Yi was thinking when testing him.
Ares even watched Lu Yi's every move with an indulgent attitude.
He looked down on Eris, seeing it as a burden to be thrown away at random.
But he was willing to make concessions for Lu Yi and turn a blind eye to all of Lu Yi's actions.
After all, although Ares looked down on Eris, what he said was not wrong.
As a human incarnation, Ares is indeed not as powerful as the original god, and he is also subject to greater constraints from rules.
Since Ares was willing to serve him and solve some minor troubles that he was not convenient to deal with, Ares was happy to see it happen.
It is foreseeable that the lives of Ares and Lu Yi are both extremely long, but Ares will be nothing after his death. He will only become an inconspicuous wave submerged in the vast sea of memory.
There is no sense of existence at all.
Human Ares thought to himself that he was indeed selfish.
He is willing to do everything for Lu Yi, but the premise of all this is that he stands by Lu Yi.
There is no such word as "making clothes for others to marry" in Ares' dictionary.
His love and possessiveness are inseparable.
He scoffed at Eris's "sacrifice", believing that it was a compromise method for the weak with no way out.
He doesn't need to compromise.
Ares just needs to quietly blend into Lu Yi's life.
Thinking of this, Ares looked at Lu Yi more patiently.
Lu Yi remained silent for a while under his patient gaze.
Finally, he whispered, "Teacher, this is human nature. Because of the lack of one's own strength, and because of the fear of uncontrollable powerful forces."
"You—are you afraid of me?" Ares said bluntly.
Lu Yi smiled bitterly, "Is this normal? Teacher, you are a god."
In front of Ares, Lu Yi felt a little confident, but not much.
He found it difficult to let go of his inner uncertainty and always remained on guard.
Lu Yi cannot bear any adverse consequences.
If Ares even had a hint of this idea, the Klein family would suffer a devastating disaster.
Maybe his death will be even more miserable than in the original book.
Lu Yi can take his own life lightly, but he cannot risk the lives of the Klein family, the lives of the Klein couple and Astorzoen.
"It's normal for humans to feel fear in front of gods, right?"
Gods, high above.
Lu Yi can't gamble.
"Even if I have a big heart, I am just a human being..." Noticing that the atmosphere was a little silent, Lu Yi smiled with a relaxed look.
"Lu Yi, aren't you just testing me now?"
Lu Yi's smile froze for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Teacher, why did you expose me..."
"I just don't like you testing me the way you test outsiders."
Seeing Lu Yi sigh, Ares couldn't help but rub his little head.
"I should have told you yesterday, Lu Yi, you can ask me anything you want to know. You can ask me anything."
Lu Yi keenly noticed that Ares had given in, and immediately took advantage of the situation, accusing him: "Didn't I want to ask just now? Teacher Ares, what did you say about me testing you? How could I be testing you?!"
Ares was so shocked by his righteous accusations that he could only say helplessly, "It's my fault..."
"Can we have a good chat now?"
"I've been having a good chat with Teacher Ares." Lu Yi said.
Ares nodded, "Then let's take it one by one. First, are you still afraid of me?"
Lu Yi nodded honestly, "A little bit."
Ares looked at Lu Yi, his dark eyes full of helplessness.
"How can I prove to you that I am harmless? Should I open my heart and show it to you?"
Lu Yi asked: "Do gods also have hearts?"
Ares looked at him deeply, "Gods don't have hearts, but I do."
"Lu Yi, you don't have to worry that I will hurt you."
"No one in this world can hurt you, but I will never hurt you."
"My existence is because of you."
He is the human incarnation of the god Ares who was separated out of curiosity. His existence is to watch and observe Lu Yi.
All his emotions will be influenced by Lu Yi.
Lu Yi couldn't see the status relationship between them, but Ares knew it clearly.
From the beginning to the end, it was not him who controlled Lu Yi.
Instead, Lu Yi was controlling him unconsciously.
The god Ares has no heart.
But the heart of human Ares always beats for Lu Yi.
…
Katifan, St. Dover College.
Lu Yi opened his eyes in the dim dormitory.
Rant's roommate, Wavelin, was sleeping soundly. The only sounds in the dark dormitory were their breathing.
Because he woke up, his breathing subconsciously became lighter.
Lu Yi turned his head and looked out the window where a faint light was coming through.
Their dormitory is on the top floor of the dormitory building, and they can clearly and perfectly see the huge full moon outside the window.
A night with a full moon.
Lu Yi's heart was still worried but he couldn't let it go.
After the award ceremony, he kept in mind the possible setbacks that Rand might encounter.
Considering that the system hosting might not be able to cope with the situation, Lu Yi deliberately switched the perspective at an approximate time to deal with the emergency situation on Lant's side first.
According to the distance between Braceside and Saint Dover, Paso is expected to reach Katifan this morning.
After switching perspectives, Lu Yi no longer felt sleepy for a moment and simply sat quietly on the bed to accept the managed memory.
Nothing worth noting happened during the period of custody, so Lu Yi gave it a quick look and left it alone.
Feeling a dry and itchy feeling in his throat, Lu Yi got out of bed quietly and slowly walked to the table in front of the window.
His fingertips hovered above the empty glass, and the water silently filled the empty glass.
Lu Yi picked up the cup, looked at the full moon outside the window, and drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
The next second, Lu Yi's light amber eyes widened and he sprayed all the water forward.
Paso, who was hanging upside down outside the window, moved his wolf ears, but failed to... or rather, he didn't dodge at all, and was directly sprayed by Lu Yi.
Paso shook his head, shaking off the water drops on his face, and the bells tied to the small braids in his long hair jingled.
Under the bright moonlight, Paso with his long hair, thin braids and broken eyebrows looked even more wild.
His eyes reflected the stunned Lu Yi, and his expression was extremely serious and focused.
Lu Yi was caught off guard by his early appearance and almost screamed out loud.
But he soon realized that Wavelin was still sleeping soundly on the bed, so he forced himself to suppress the words in his throat.
Lu Yi opened his mouth silently and lip-synced to him.
——"Give me a hand."
Paso held out his hand to him.
Lu Yi took the hand he extended and used the force to climb up to the eaves outside the window.
Both of them were very agile and quickly landed steadily on the roof of the dormitory building.
Lu Yi and Paso sat side by side on the roof, neither close nor far between them.
Not close, the two people's hands were clearly resting on the roof, but no matter how quietly Paso stretched out his fingers, he could not touch the other person's fingertips.
It wasn't far away. With just a turn of his head, Paso could clearly see Lu Yi's face, his long golden brown hair, and his light amber eyes. Under the bright moonlight, Paso could even clearly see the fine hairs on his face.
Lu Yi noticed Paso's silent but extremely focused gaze, so he simply turned his head and met his gaze directly.
With the reflection of the moonlight, Lu Yi could clearly see Paso's appearance at this moment.
Paso, who has become the Beast King Apari, does not look like a Beast King at this moment. He is not wearing the gorgeous clothes of a Beast King. The robe on his body seems to be the same one he wore when he was first seen.
Paso still had the long, thin braids he had when he was a beastman prince. There were small silver bells tied to the braids, and the bells made crisp sounds with Paso's every move.
It seemed that the person standing in front of him was not the Beast King Apari, but the Beast Prince Paso.
Lu Yi noticed the wolf ears that had always been on his head and asked, "Your animal characteristics have emerged... Is this the influence of the full moon?"
Paso nodded but said nothing.
"Does the full moon have a big impact on you? Should we find a place where the moonlight can't reach?" Lu Yi asked considerately.
Paso shook his head, his voice a little low.
"No, the full moon doesn't affect me much."
In fact, after his strength reached the eighth level, the full moon could no longer have any effect on him.
Even the wolf ears that were exposed at this moment were just intentional in front of Rand.
Since Paso himself said so, Lu Yi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably awkward.
Paso didn't seem to be affected by the awkward atmosphere at all, and still looked at Lu Yi seriously and attentively.
Lu Yi originally looked at him calmly, but after a while, he gave in and was the first to look away.
His averted gaze seemed to give Paso some hint, and Paso took the initiative to call out his name.
"Rant." Paso said.
There was actually no intense emotion in his words, and Lu Yi had already known the situation he might face.
But despite this, when Lu Yi heard Paso call him "Rant", he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.
The author has something to say:
Ares: I don't need to compromise.
Lu Yi: Don't kill Eris
Ares: Good wife.
Thank you for your attention, ladies!
