Chapter 320 Confession
Xiu rolled up his sleeves and paced back and forth in the room twice, his long black hair sweeping behind him. When he walked over again, Fang Ke suddenly reached out and grabbed his hair.
"..."
Xiu looked at her coldly, "What are you doing?"
Fang Ke smiled and said, "You look really good with long hair."
Then his hand was slapped away. Xiu was clearly taken aback by her frivolous behavior. "Philomena..."
But after calling her name, he couldn't say another word for a long time. He could only turn away with a cold face and say, "If you can't control your hands, I'll chop them off in a minute."
Fang Ke burst into laughter on the bed. The laughter was so melodious that Xiu looked at her in disbelief, completely bewildered.
Why did Philomena not show him more awe or respect after he revealed his identity, but instead seem to regard him as someone of the same class?
At least before, I could call him "Your Excellency" or "Your Excellency" more easily...
Xiu looked at Fang Ke's smiling face with apparent displeasure, but miraculously, he couldn't get angry at all, which was what made him even angrier.
"Enough! Do you even have the demeanor of a saint? If you don't want to hear it, let's talk about it another day."
He was about to turn and leave when Cai Ke casually used a light-based spell to grab the hem of his clothes.
The veins on her forehead were bulging and she was practically jumping up and down. Has Philomena gone mad?
Poor thing, after this god was born, he always held a high position, was revered and loved by people, and was worshipped from afar. He never experienced the taste of human love, and no one dared to approach him and flirt with him repeatedly.
Fang Ke smiled and sat up on the bed, saying to him, "Let's talk about it today. You are a very important person and very busy. I don't know when we will meet again later."
It wasn't Xiu's imagination; every time Fang Ke called him "Master," it felt like he was being mocked.
Xiu Wei endured it, turned around and stared at her coldly.
What exactly do you want to know?
Fang Ke said, "Why don't we start from the beginning to show your sincerity, sir?"
Xiu stared at her for a long time, then smiled coldly, "Fine, but if you still want to betray me after hearing this, don't blame me for turning against you."
Fang Ke shrugged and spread his hands, clearly not taking his warning to heart. He still had a charmingly curved eyebrow.
Xiu realized he had been unconsciously staring at her for a long time. He awkwardly turned his gaze away and began, "The prophecy about you does exist, but not twenty years ago, but two hundred years ago. An elderly and exceptional prophet foretold that two hundred years from now, a human knight would appear in the world, wielding a silver sword, piercing the chest of a god. On that day, the order of the world will be rewritten."
Fang Ke was slightly surprised and equally puzzled, "200 years ago... I wasn't even born yet."
Xiu glanced at her indifferently and continued, "And that person has lived for a very long time. When he heard this news, he found it interesting and actually said, 'Great! The next two hundred years of dullness have new expectations.'"
"He was actually looking forward to your arrival."
Only then can one remain silent.
"However, he has this hypocritical magnanimity, but the other cardinals will not allow it. They all offer suggestions to make him prepare in advance."
Fang Ke indicated that he was listening attentively, only to see Xiu sneer, "Then they came up with a plan to have that person separate a part of their soul essence, which would then be taken to the lower realm and hidden by one of the main characters."
"This way, even if part of the soul is damaged, the root will not be harmed."
Fang Ke's expression returned. "So, sir, who are you?"
Xiu's cold expression remained. "Yes, I was formed from a part of his natal soul essence, but I am completely different from him."
Then, after careful consideration, he asked, "How are they different?"
"Ha, at first the bishop hid me in an unknown little church in the human world, thinking that because the mountains were high and the roads were far away, the place was remote and sparsely populated, and no one would find me."
"Unfortunately, even the most well-hidden soul artifact cannot conceal its divine origin. Even a fraction of the energy here is enough for an ordinary person to cultivate for a lifetime."
"Soon people within a hundred miles discovered that prayers and requests were particularly effective here. This dilapidated little church received countless believers, and I, it was I, listened to their stories one after another every day. I learned that this world is not fair, just, united, friendly, fraternal, harmonious, loving, caring, and loving towards parents and children."
As Xiu spoke, his gaze grew increasingly distant. "I didn't know that the world had become like this. Every day I hear countless cries, pleas for help, sins, regrets, sorrows, greed, and desires."
"And those hypocritical gods in the heavens, after all these years, have discovered nothing and are still comfortably ruling over the Nine Provinces!"
Fang Ke looked at him, seemingly a little surprised that the plot had unfolded this way.
Xiu continued, "So when I couldn't listen to it anymore, I possessed a young boy's body and walked out of the church."
“This boy is my believer. He used to come to church to see me whenever he had free time, talk to me, and tell me stories. But for a while, he suddenly stopped coming. When he reappeared, he had become mentally impaired. I later learned that he had been sold by his gambling father to the young master of a wealthy family in the city to be his companion.”
"That young master kept a big wolfhound. He liked to put the wolfhound and the child in the same cage to play. The child was bitten several times and almost died. After he survived, he became stupid and was eventually thrown back."
Xiu recalled this memory, his expression turning sour. "This child once said that he was willing to offer his faith and flesh and blood to me, so I took over his body, and his soul has been reincarnated."
"This time, I brought his identity back to the rich man's back garden. I looked at the young master through the iron fence. The young master was excited to see me. He had the fence opened and clapped his hands to make the wolfhound rush towards me. I smiled at him. As soon as the wolfhound met my eyes, it suddenly lost its mind, turned around and ran back to bite the young master."
"The rich young master was naturally terrified. He tried desperately to escape, but unfortunately, he was bitten to death on the spot by the rabid wolfhound."
At this point, Xiu chuckled, seemingly mocking himself for carelessly disposing of a life, calling himself a cruel person.
"After this incident, I discovered a trace of black demonic energy on the soul essence he gave me."
Fang Ke didn't interrupt him. Xiu seemed to have opened up, so he simply said, "Countless similar things happened afterward, so half of the essence he gave me has already been corrupted, but I can't stop walking in this mortal world."
“One day I was thinking, aren’t the culprits behind all this the people who are standing on the sidelines, high above and indifferent to the lives of those below? I thought of that prophecy from two hundred years ago, so I made up my mind to bring him down from his divine position and let him personally experience this suffering human world and experience everything I have witnessed.”
Upon hearing this, Fang Ke couldn't help but climb out of bed.
Hearing the rustling sounds behind him, Xiu, still not having calmed down, sneered, "What, do you still think your god is so radiant and mighty, worthy of admiration?"
"you……"
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a pair of slender yet strong arms wrap around his body and hug him tightly from behind.
Xiu almost immediately froze, trying to push her away, but Fang Ke held him tightly, her voice carrying a healing quality coming from behind him.
"Sir, are you confessing to me?"
When people do bad things, they go to a priest to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.
Fang Ke said, “The world can understand your punishment of evil and promotion of good. Now, in the name of the Holy Maiden and the Compassionate Father, I forgive your sins.”
Xiu was stunned. He couldn't help but loosen his grip on her hand as he pushed her away, and finally covered her hand with his.
This, however, was a huge overstepping of the bounds for him.
“Philomena…”
"Sir, I am sorry for the opportunity you have had, but after hearing your story, I now understand my beliefs and direction for the future."
"..."
"I believe that the adult's ideas are correct. I will follow the adult into battle. I feel sorry for the adult."
Xiu felt as if he had been electrocuted, unable to believe what he had just heard. "Heartache?"
"Yes, I feel sorry for you, so I am willing to be the sword in your hand, let's work together to straighten the messed-up world."
