Chapter 170 - The God Who Controls...
Chapter 170 - The God Who Controls...
Ning Fei dragged Duan Yunhong to have fun in an empty room in the church. After they were done, they ran away quickly while scolding themselves and Duan Yunhong for being crazy. Ning Fei even scolded herself so much that she laughed.
Duan Yunhong didn't care. After experiencing "being forced under the influence of light magic", his resistance to fun-seeking conditions increased sharply. Not to mention that Ning Fei at least dragged the man into the room. Even if he had pressed Duan Yunhong at the end of the corridor or came directly outside where there were no people around, Duan Yunhong would probably have let him do what he wanted.
Seeing that Ning Fei was not really angry, but seemed to be in a much more relaxed state, he said, "Stop scolding. It's just the two of us. No need to pretend. I see that you are quite happy."
"Yes, yes, Doctor Duan, you are a miracle doctor." Ning Fei joked with him casually. But in fact, they both knew that this fun was just one of the events in the process. When the two of them were chatting before, especially when Ning Fei said that she began to regret telling Duan Yunhong where she came from, his mood began to change.
The root of becoming relaxed lies in the loosening of psychological shackles, rather than physical catharsis.
The two of them understood this tacitly.
Duan Yunhong was still thinking that if this continued in a few days, Ning Fei would be willing to leave. As long as he is willing to leave, it means that he actively wants to break free from the constraints of this world on him, and it also means... he is indeed accepting Duan Yunhong's approach and exploration of him.
This is no less than his response to Duan Yunhong, to that silent question.
——Tsk, it’s not in vain that I’ve been a bootlicker for so long.
However, just before Ning Fei was about to make a decision, Prince Finn suddenly did something big.
He first ordered the abolition of the existing church and prepared to establish a new church, adopting a completely new management mechanism and management personnel, but this was not a big job for Ning Fei. What really scared Ning Fei was that he announced that Ning Fei was the new "Messenger of God" and that he would erect a statue of Ning Fei in the central square!
"…No, why?!"
As soon as the waiter who came to report the news left the room, Ning Fei immediately straightened up from the sofa, revealing the shocked expression he had been trying to suppress just now: "Huh? Me? The statue?!"
"Hahaha..." Duan Yunhong couldn't hold back his laughter just now, and now he laughed even more wantonly, "Prince Finn has now taken over the royal power alone, and the first thing he did was actually this kind of thing. And did you listen to what that person said? The notice said that your statue not only symbolizes the advent of a miracle, but also will become the 'Eye of God' that suppresses the nobles, so that the nobles will be intimidated by your majesty and dare not commit crimes again. This shows that he is really devoted to you and is determined to establish an image for you."
"I didn't give him this 'oracle', so why did he do something on his own? Did he think that this would alleviate his guilt? He must be dreaming!" Ning Fei smacked his lips, "Fuck, he's really too stupid. When I think about the fact that people are admiring that thing in my name, I get goosebumps all over my body!"
Duan Yunhong was still laughing: "Who made your light magic power so strong? Let alone being the 'messenger of God', it wouldn't be surprising if you became a god directly, hahahaha..."
"Tsk, do you want to play light magic again?" Ning Fei kicked him, picked up a piece of chocolate from the snack plate that the waiter had just brought, and took a bite, "... It's so bitter. It's worthy of being a casino. The purpose is to make people excited, right? Too much sugar will make people sleepy, and full of cocoa will keep people awake..."
Before he could finish his words, Duan Yunhong came over and bit the remaining half of his hand. Ning Fei withdrew his hand and dodged: "Dogs can't eat chocolate."
Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows: "Scold me again?"
"A dog licker is still a dog." Ning Fei snorted and threw the remaining chocolate into his mouth. Duan Yunhong grabbed his chin, kissed him directly, and snatched the chocolate from his mouth.
Until the somewhat inferior chocolate melts.
Ning Fei also fell into Duan Yunhong's arms, or to be more precise, she simply leaned on him. Duan Yunhong pressed his chin with his thumb, and said in a low and hoarse voice: "Since the statue's inauguration ceremony is the day after tomorrow, shall I help you smash it?"
Ning Fei blinked slowly: "Anyway, I will be gone soon. Once I am gone, everyone will forget me, and the symbolic meaning of the statue will no longer be me..."
"Just ask if you want it." Duan Yunhong stared at him closely. "If you don't like the statue, then its existence for one day, one minute, or one second will be disgusting to you. Do you feel disgusted when a believer like Prince Finn is looking at you and loving you with it?"
"nausea."
"If you feel disgusted, then eliminate the source of your disgust."
"You are really crazy, Duan Yunhong, you are worthy of it." Ning Fei also raised her hand and touched the man's chin, "You hate him so much that you want him to die, right?"
"Are you going to judge me again?" Duan Yunhong bit his fingertips. "Don't pretend. We are the same kind of people. Come on, do you want me to do it? Or do you want to do it yourself?"
"...Okay, okay, smash it, smash it, you will be happy if you smash my statue into pieces." Ning Fei sat up and turned his back to the man, "You really want to make me resist you."
Duan Yunhong understood immediately that this "resistance" was actually similar to the "regret" that Ning Fei said yesterday.
This is Ning Fei's self-protection mechanism and also one of the layers of his hard shell.
The more secure he feels, the more he loosens his outer shell. But at a certain point in time, he will suddenly become alert. His instinct told him to be wary of this comfort and not to indulge in it.
"Don't resist, keep going." Duan Yunhong stretched out his long arms from behind, hugged Ning Fei's waist, and put his head on his shoulder. "We have all entered the game with our bodies. I have also invested a lot of money. You actually understand it very well, right? Just gamble with me, Teacher Ning, aren't you the one who is least afraid of gambling?"
Ning Fei pinched his arm hard and said meaningfully: "Don't think I won't bite."
"I've experienced it." Duan Yunhong also mixed up his thoughts and whispered in Ning Fei's ear, "If it really comes to that, then bite me. That's what I deserve. Of course, if it comes to you... you will be bitten by me too, so you better be careful."
Ning Fei said: "Then I will hate you and bite you at the same time."
Duan Yunhong smiled and said, "It's not bad to have someone who will always hate me and remember me forever."
***
On the day of the statue's inauguration ceremony, the central square was once again surrounded by soldiers.
But they did not suppress or drive away the crowd who were watching and waiting for the prince to make donations later. They just maintained basic order and did not allow people to approach the sculpture in advance. The sculpture has been covered with a huge white cloth. The base is only half a meter high, but very wide, about 2.5 meters. It is about 2 meters upwards, and the overall shape is a relatively flat triangular cone. No one knows what Ning Fei inside looks like, or which part is Ning Fei.
Prince Finn came in person to preside over the ceremony, but he was a little far away and it was difficult to hear what he said. There was also a band on the scene, and the melodious and sacred music could be heard from far away. But with the names of nobles written all over the ground in the central square and all kinds of dirty stains, the picture is extremely weird.
"How long will this formalism last?"
Because of their subsequent actions, Ning Fei and Duan Yunhong did not ask the casino to prepare a room, but instead found a nearby rooftop to squat on. There was no other entertainment, Ning Fei was a little impatient: "Why didn't I ask him to reflect on his extravagant and debauched life? Why not just blow the cloth away with some wind?"
Duan Yunhong has been watching the fun: "Go ahead, I thought you were holding back on doing something."
Ning Fei glanced at him: "Are you ready?"
"To be honest, this shape is a bit difficult." Duan Yunhong stretched out his hand and measured the size in the air. "Standing statues are easy to make and easy to knock down. This triangular thing, I don't know whether you are sitting or standing inside it. If you are lying down..."
"Stop talking. If you make me lie in the square, please blow it up immediately." Ning Fei felt that he couldn't bear it any longer. "Do it now, okay?"
"Okay." Duan Yunhong suppressed his laughter and took out two black balls of different sizes from his arms. "I originally thought that if I shot one at it, it would definitely blow up the statue, but now I guess I have to rely on your wind to control the explosion point. The fuses for both are about 15 seconds, so I guess we can't blow up the whole thing, so try to destroy the key points."
"I knew that what you've been tinkering with these days is very dangerous. Are you setting a bomb in your room?" Ning Fei picked up one of the black balls. "Do you really want to die with me?"
"I know what's going on." Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows slightly. "But be careful with your hands. It's hard to make stable explosion-proof materials in this era. If you shake it a few more times, don't blame me if it explodes prematurely. It's a small matter for the two of us to die on the spot, but it's a big deal if your statue doesn't blow up."
"Who the hell wants to die with you for love..." Ning Fei sneered, but finally stopped shaking his hand, "I'm going to lift the cloth."
"Don't be nervous." Duan Yunhong said jokingly, "Take a deep breath and relax..."
"You're crazy! This is the word you should use to enter the delivery room!" Ning Fei scolded him and finally felt relieved. Then Ning Fei flipped his palm and sent it into the air towards the statue, and a strong wind suddenly blew up!
The wind came in a gust, instantly turning the square into chaos. People's hats, shawls and other lighter items were blown away, spinning in circles in the air. People were also blown so hard that they bent over and squinted their eyes, and some even had to cling to the people next to them to keep their balance. The band and Prince Finn and others standing next to the statue suffered the most and were blown all over the place. The prince reacted quickly and immediately thought of something. He held up his hat and looked around with the help of his servant.
The next moment, the white cloth on the statue was lifted up, blocking the prince's view.
The statue finally revealed its true appearance.
Duan Yunhong: “…Pfft.”
You can't blame him for being happy again; this statue was so unexpected. It turns out that the triangle is not a landscape, it is Ning Fei...'s clothes!
It is a robe in Ning Fei's classic style, hanging down from the top of the head and spreading out in all directions, forming an outer outline that is almost a triangular cone. There is a human figure on the front of the statue, with eyes closed and the index finger of his right hand slightly extended downward, like a drooping branch about to drop rain. To be precise, the portrait only shows half of the body, with the lower half hidden in the robe again. Although her face was holy and beautiful, it actually didn't look much like Ning Fei. Instead, it had the style of goddesses carved by craftsmen of that time.
Prince Finn actually chose this shape for the statue. I don’t know if it’s because his aesthetic is too unique or if it’s just because this shape can be completed faster.
"Hahaha...Triangle God!" Duan Yunhong's mouth is so fast that he quickly came up with a nickname.
"You are not the god who intimidates the nobles, you are the god who controls geometry!"
"Shut up, you are a god!"
