Chapter 53
"So, you really can't do it." Poseidon spread his hands, looking helpless, "Or, can you think of another way? If you want to cooperate with me, you have to show some real skills."
Lan Ji was silent. The direction of things was beyond his expectations. Although there was a solution at the moment, Lan Ji was thinking about how to better communicate with the sea cucumber in front of him.
At this time, Pei Zhao touched his chin and said, "Yes, it's not difficult."
He chuckled and raised his chin to Poseidon, "Manpower can't defeat them, how about using airplanes and cannons?"
"Tell me more about it."
·
Poseidon never expected that this battle would end so quickly. I never expected that humans could awaken superpowers earlier than creatures in the sea. But when seeing Pei Zhao and the others off, the Sea God asked them what wishes they wanted to fulfill as a reward.
Pei Zhao only said that if he needed help in the future, he hoped that the Sea God would be able to help him like he did today.
The agreement was reached. The defeated human race continued to live in the bank. The fake Zhou Ran was caught by Pei Zhao and forcibly brought back to the human world.
[Congratulations, host, for obtaining a new puppet. 】Xiao Rui's voice returned to its emotionless mechanical tone. Pei Zhao was silent for a moment and just asked.
"Xiaorui?"
[Hello host, I am here. 】
Pei Zhao sighed, knowing that some of the truths he wanted to know might never be answered. A white light flashed, and Pei Zhao had a puppet with a face similar to Zhou Ran in his hand, while Zhou Ran, who was standing beside him, stared at him blankly.
"Zhou Ran, I..." Pei Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but Zhou Ran took a step back.
"Pei Shen... I know you are quite powerful, but don't you think that everything you are experiencing now is a little unscientific?"
Pei Zhao thought to himself, how could it be unscientific for you to stay with a vampire for such a long time?
Pei Zhao sighed, coughed twice, and said to Zhou Ran: "Now that things have come to this, I can only tell you... Yes, there are many unscientific things happening in this world. I didn't know it before, until I became one of the unscientific people."
Zhou Ran still couldn't believe it, "So Pei Shen, you all...know it."
Pei Zhao nodded. Zhou Ran then turned his gaze to Zhou Yuli, Bai Zhou, and Lan Ji, scanning their faces one by one.
The three of them didn't say anything, just looked at each other. After a moment, two dolls and a blue crystal fell into Pei Zhao's hands.
Zhou Ran just couldn't believe his eyes, "...I've seen them, those puppets, they're actually...people?!" Then, he thought of something else, "God Pei, you said before that the puppet shop you opened across from the school, wouldn't it be..."
Pei Zhao nodded: "That's right."
Zhou Ran took a breath of cold air.
Pei Zhao also knew that it would be difficult for Zhou Ran to accept this matter for a while. He was about to take Zhou Yuli away when he was stopped by Zhou Ran.
“God Pei,” Zhou Ran said, “Although… this matter sounds really outrageous, but because it’s you, I can understand it.”
Pei Zhao paused.
Zhou Ran continued, "Don't worry, although I still can't accept it, I understand you and I won't tell anyone else."
·
After saying goodbye to Zhou Ran, the five of them walked back to the puppet shop. Pei Zhao lowered his head, absent-minded.
Bai Zhou said that the puppet shop might have new orders again. Several customers contacted them and would come to the shop tomorrow to select puppets, so they had to go back to the shop to make preparations.
Pei Zhao agreed, and Bai Zhou and Lan Ji left. Only Zhou Yuli and Miu Yi were left.
Pei Zhao said that he wanted to take a walk by himself. Zhou Yuli said "OK" and then looked at Miu Yi.
Of course I understood what he meant. "Ah, I...suddenly remembered that I promised Brother Bai to help clean up today. I have to go back to the store too. Bye Brother."
Pei Zhao was halfway through waving when Miu Yi ran away.
Pei Zhao lowered his hands helplessly: "So impatient."
Zhou Yuli walked up to him and held out his hand: "Would you like to walk together?"
Pei Zhao nodded.
They chose a small path where there were not many people and they could hold hands boldly.
Zhou Yuli said: "You are in a bad mood."
"Hmm. I don't know how to face Zhou Ran."
"He doesn't care."
"How could he not care at all?" Pei Zhao sighed, "If I didn't know him, he wouldn't have been involved this time." Pei Zhao felt uncomfortable when he thought about how Zhou Ran had been locked up with that sea god for so long and had suffered so much torture.
Zhou Ran said that he didn't care, but that was only because of their friendship. It didn't mean that he really didn't care. Otherwise, with Zhou Ran's personality, he would definitely ask to go with him next time.
But Zhou Ran didn't, which means he does mind.
Pei Zhao said, "Actually, I can accept this. It's not a good thing in the first place. Friends don't have to understand each other on everything, but..."
But Zhou Ran was his best friend, and he was afraid that they would go their separate ways because of this incident.
"But it's okay, I understand. I'm just feeling down. I'll be fine tomorrow."
Zhou Yuli looked at Pei Zhao with heartache. He was always like this, cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He could say unkind words, but in fact, he cared more than anyone else. Such sentimental people should not worry about emotional matters.
"Pei Zhao, do you believe that there is pure love in this world?" Zhou Yuli stopped.
Pei Zhao tilted his head to look at him in confusion, "Pure love?"
There was no one around and it was completely silent, with only the occasional sound of wind. It was autumn and the air was a little chilly.
Pei Zhao felt something warm brushing against his lips.
"Yes, pure love, without the slightest impurity, is worth risking one's life and death."
Pei Zhao felt himself being hugged tightly and felt very warm. Zhou Yuli did not give him an answer, nor did he comfort him with words. Instead, he hugged him tightly.
“If the love you see doesn’t fill your heart, feel it another way.”
…
Pei Zhao was in a daze and was dragged into the familiar hotel by Zhou Yuli again.
The familiar room, the familiar sound of water. When Pei Zhao was lying on the bed and his clothes were taken off, he began to guess what was about to happen.
He hugged her tightly, blocking the areas in front of him. Zhou Yuli put his arms through his legs and pressed his chest against his lower back, carrying him towards the bathroom.
He sat on the cold water platform, the sound of water rang in his ears, and Pei Zhao no longer had Zhou Ran in his mind.
Zhou Ran and Poseidon are both gone.
Zhou Yuli's shirt was wet and stuck to his body. Pei Zhao's eyes fell on that small piece of flesh-colored skin, and as if possessed, he leaned forward and kissed it.
Zhou Yuli paused his hand movements, and mixed with the sound of water, his voice was like a cat scratching in the ear. Just a chuckle made Pei Zhao tremble. Pei Zhao bit the piece of skin with his small mouthful and spoke incoherently.
"Zhou Yuli, don't you have to listen to me..."
"Zhou Yuli, why don't you do the same as me."
Zhou Yuli did not answer, or Pei Zhao could no longer hear what Zhou Yuli said.
His movements were so fast that when Pei Zhao surrendered, he could only repeat the action of grabbing and letting go regardless of anything.
Gradually, things lost focus, and then drowsiness came over me.
…
After helping Pei Zhao dry his body and carrying him to the bed, Zhou Yuli half-knelt beside the bed and looked at Pei Zhao's sleeping face for a long time.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to be with Pei Zhao…
But he couldn't accept it yet.
I can't accept myself being so bad and touching such a good person like him.
·
A dreamless night. When I woke up again, Zhou Yuli was still sleeping beside me. Pei Zhao thought that he had really seen a lot in this house. When he first lived here, Zhou Yuli was still angry with him and refused to change back into a human being no matter what.
Later, after they confirmed their relationship, Zhou Yuli made him feel loved for the first time here.
And now, Zhou Yuli used his hands to make him forget his biggest trouble recently.
Pei Zhao thought, it would be nice if he could live a peaceful life like this, if...
[Hello host, I am reminding you that you are about to be teleported to another world. There are three minutes left before you get ready. One hundred and eighty seconds, one hundred and seventy-nine seconds...】
? ? ?
Pei Zhao was stunned, and the next second he sat up from the bed, shaking Zhou Yuli while looking for clothes.
"What's wrong..." It was already late at night when Zhou Yuli finished cleaning up last night. He was so sleepy that he woke up to see Pei Zhao naked, searching for something as if the world was about to end. Zhou Yuli yawned, "Don't worry..."
Pei Zhao had no time to care about him. He was busy looking for clothes and threw Zhou Yuli's clothes on the ground in front of him. "There are still 150 seconds to travel through time!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yuli blinked and realized, "One hundred and fifty seconds?"
They are now meeting each other in a very sincere manner!
…
A white light flashed before the Sea God's eyes, and Zhou Yuli and Pei Zhao appeared in front of him. Although they were dressed, their hair was messy and they looked unkempt.
Poseidon's brows twitched slightly, then he looked around, a little surprised, "Only you two?"
Pei Zhao coughed twice and replied: "Well, you asked us to come? How did you do it?"
Poseidon spread his hands and said, "I did receive a letter." Poseidon handed a piece of paper to Pei Zhao.
Pei Zhao took it doubtfully, and after reading just the beginning, his expression changed.
"Hello dear Poseidon, I am Sudi." Sudi? Why is it him again?
Pei Zhao couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuli, both of them had frowned.
If there is a second factor of anxiety in traveling to another world, it is Sudi. He appeared and gave Pei Zhao an entire store of puppets so that he could do business with them. When he couldn't find Zhou Yuli in the other world, it was Sudi who came to his aid.
But this person also told him that there are people with higher civilization in this world.
In Pei Zhao's view, he is both good and evil, and very evil.
The content of the letter was simple, probably inviting Pei Zhao to be a guest at the Sea God's place, and that he would come to see Pei Zhao in a few days and bring him some things.
After closing the letter, Pei Zhao asked the question he was most curious about: "Do you know Sudi?"
The Sea God smiled gently, "Old friend. It was that guy who divided the human race and the demon race in this sea area." The Sea God's eyes were a little nostalgic, "That boy was a big shot."
Pei Zhao didn't expect that this matter was actually related to Sudi, "So what is he going to do now?"
"Oh." Poseidon said, "He and the human are good friends, but you took him away. Maybe he came here to snatch you away?"
