Chapter 706 The Sage Demon! How can he compare to Fu Yunshen? [1st Update]
Short silver hair.
Black diamond stud earrings.
His attire was flamboyant, but it suited his personality perfectly.
The man had a pair of dark green pupils, like vortexes that could suck people in, hiding a smile.
But his smile didn't reach his eyes; even his eyebrows were cold, and his gaze was piercing.
Sinai was still clinging to the door, and paused for a moment.
No, not an old man?
She's... kind of good-looking?
Norton knelt down in front of Sinai, bringing their eyes together.
Sinai met his dark green eyes, and her small hands gripping the door tightened.
Norton smiled and patted her head: "Kid?"
Before Sinai could answer, he continued, "She's quite cute, like a doll."
When Sinai heard the word "doll" at the end, her heart jumped into her throat.
I've heard that people who enjoy dissection also like making specimens.
if……
“Alright, I’ll take her for now.” Norton stood up. “Once I figure out the mutation in her body and detoxify her, I’ll send her back to you.”
"Hmm." Ying Zijing glanced at the empty villa. "No one will come in here, right?"
"Go in?" Norton sneered. "They dare?"
None of the sages currently residing in the Sage's Courtyard are combat-oriented.
Norton's military prowess is undeniable; even the Wise Queen would have to avoid his sharp edge.
“Oh, I forgot.” Norton stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Only demons have it, but who knows where he is? The priestess also knows some divination; the horoscope indicates that the demon’s return is imminent.”
He took another sip of wine: "You told me before that you fortune tellers cannot divine for those who are more powerful than yourself or those who are close to you. Priestesses are much weaker than demons; at most, they know that demons are coming back, but they know nothing else."
Ying Zijing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Even demons have fallen?"
A sage will only lose his memories and power if he perishes and is reincarnated, or if he is severely injured.
Xiu told her that the reason the sages had not been able to gather was because they had encountered too many disasters while protecting the world city and the earth.
As a sage whose abilities surpass those of ordinary people, one also bears greater responsibilities.
They are responsible for preventing disasters that could destroy the continent, such as major earthquakes, tectonic plate collapses, and asteroid impacts.
So one moment one falls, the next another is seriously injured.
On the contrary, it is support-type sages like Xiu who have survived.
“He may have perished, or he may have just been seriously injured and left.” Norton leaned against the table, speaking calmly. “There was an internal war among the Sages before. I wasn’t there during that battle; I only heard about it later.”
"The demon rebelled with one-third of the sages, but ultimately failed for reasons unknown."
Ying Zijing frowned: "Then what about you?"
“Me?” Norton shrugged. “You might not believe it, but I got tired of being a sage and decided to become an ordinary person for fun.”
Ying Zijing pressed her head: "I believe it."
She really had no idea what kind of people she had met.
They're all oddballs.
Sinai, standing to the side, seemed somewhat bewildered.
For the first time, she hated that her body had shrunk and her personality had become like a child's.
By the time she realized what was happening, her hand had already involuntarily grabbed Ying Zijing's sleeve: "Ah Ying, he..."
Ying Zijin leaned down: "Oh, I forgot to mention, he also has another title, called 'Chariot,' so I feel very safe leaving you with him."
Sinai: "!!!"
But she wasn't really at ease.
Before Sinai could even ponder how Ying Zijin came to know the Sage Chariot, her thoughts were instantly pulled back to that night.
The warmth of the man's hand seemed to still linger on her earlobe, carrying a hint of heat from the friction.
Norton raised an eyebrow and lifted his chin: "Why are you blushing, kid?"
Sinai snapped back to reality, rubbed her hair, and said expressionlessly, "I'm hot."
“It’s really hot.” Ying Zijing didn’t think of anything else and glanced at Norton. “You’re heat-resistant, so remember to turn on the air conditioner.”
Norton frowned again: "Troublesome."
"I'm leaving now." Ying Zijin put down a box. "There's some medicine in here, enough for you to use for a while."
Sinai watched helplessly as the girl left, the door opening and closing again.
Only two figures, one large and one small, remained in the huge villa.
The lobby was quite quiet.
Norton tilted his head and squinted slightly: "I feel like you look familiar."
Sinai took a small step back: "I don't think you look familiar."
“Is that so—” Norton stepped forward again, bending down. “Have I seen you somewhere before?”
Sinai was so nervous that she pressed her small body against the wall and shook her head desperately: "No."
“That’s true.” Norton patted her head again. “If I had seen you beforehand, you would already be lying on the operating table.”
Sinai: "..."
She was really scared.
"Don't worry," Norton smiled, "I will definitely follow her request and try my best not to dissect you."
Sinai: "..."
She was not comforted at all.
If he were just a man with a mortal body, she could instantly blast him into dust with the high-tech products she created.
But the Sage's Chariot?
She should just give up on her dreams and become a couch potato.
"Tsk, kid, what should we do? I don't have any clothes for you here." Norton looked Sinai up and down. "I'll take you to buy some clothes first."
After saying that, before Sinai could refuse, he raised one hand and easily lifted her up.
He carried her like a bag, leading her towards the door.
Sinai almost couldn't catch her breath.
"Um, this is making me uncomfortable." Sinai hesitated, then protested, "Could you try a different position?"
"Oh, no."
"..."
**
This way.
Ying Zijin had just returned to the research institute.
I received several messages on my phone.
It's a series of photos.
The photo shows Sina, who is 120cm tall and six years old, wearing various little dresses and looking at the camera with a blank expression.
Next came another text message.
[Tsk, it's actually quite pretty, isn't it?]
This is clearly not Sinai's tone.
Sinai used to stay in the research institute, wearing a lab coat every day, and never bought clothes.
It goes without saying who it is.
Ying Zijin: "..."
How come she never noticed before that Norton had this hobby?
Do you really think it's a doll?
A little while later, a new message popped up.
[Sinai]: He's so scary [crying]
Ying Zijing thought for a moment and then comforted her.
Once you recover your health and your personality returns to normal, you won't find him scary anymore.
He's not normal to begin with; don't try to communicate with him like a normal person.
In his normal state, Sinai is even more like a block of ice than Norton.
The two of them would never communicate.
Ying Zijing put her phone back and went into the lab.
The members of Group B were all diligently conducting the experiment.
When Ye Siqing saw the girl return, he waved happily and said, "Ah Ying, we only have one last step left. Once the last part is shipped back from the W network tomorrow, we'll be successful!"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Ying Zijing took out a few bottles of drinks from her spatial folding bag. "I won't be in the lab for the next few days, so the rest of the steps will have to be completed by you."
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Ye Siqing said. "If it weren't for Aying drawing up the blueprints, we would still be at a loss."
Ying Zijing unscrewed the beverage bottle, took a sip, logged onto W website, and then browsed all the news from more than twenty years ago.
One by one, I examined them carefully.
Outside the door, Group A passed by.
Xu Jingshan glanced at it from the side.
Seeing that everyone else was assembling parts while the girl was playing on the computer, he gave a disdainful laugh.
"Miss Bi'er, it's a good thing you didn't let her into Group A. Look how lazy she is! If she had actually been in Group A, not only would she not have helped, she would have taken a spot herself – that's just getting in through connections."
Bi'er naturally saw it too. She frowned and said, "Whatever they're doing, let's speed up the experiment. I need to go back to my family tonight."
She was holding a grudge inside.
I really hope the Sage's House will issue an order as soon as possible to allow the Lyinger family to re-elect their patriarch.
**
The Jade Family.
The guards at the manor gate bowed in unison: "Master, Young Master."
Upon hearing this address, Fu Yunshen raised his eyes and glanced indifferently at the guards.
The guards felt a chill run down their spines and immediately changed their address to "Young Master Fu".
Fu Yunshen withdrew his gaze.
He did not want to have any connection with the Yu family.
"Xiao Qi, wait here for a moment." Shao Yun looked somewhat sad, but still very concerned. "I'll go get something and be right back."
Fu Yunshen gave a faint "hmm," then leaned against a tree, tilting his head to look at the hunting grounds beside him.
According to Grandpa Fu, Fu Liuying didn't know how to use a gun before.
But after returning from being missing for several years, he became a crack shot.
It's obvious who taught them.
Fu Yunshen's eyelashes fluttered.
Fu Liuying was once very happy.
At that moment, several mocking voices rang out.
"Oh, isn't this Fu Yunshen, the eldest young master of our Yu family?"
"They're all from the Yu family now, so why are they still surnamed Fu?"
Fu Yunshen raised his eyes, a half-smile on his face: "Hmm?"
These are the other direct descendants of the Yu family.
Although not born of Yu Shaoyun, they are both direct descendants and are qualified to compete for the position of patriarch.
Just as the Fifth Young Master was about to say something, he met those peach blossom eyes.
Fu Yunshen straightened up and casually straightened his shirt.
That overwhelming, immense aura rushed over you, making it hard to breathe.
The fifth young master shuddered and instinctively turned to run away.
But the thought that he wasn't alone instantly gave him confidence.
"Brother, it's really not easy to see you." The Fifth Young Master spoke boldly, "We're going to have an archery competition today, so why not do it now? Brother, why don't you give it a try too?"
He really wanted to know what kind of skills someone from the seven continents and four oceans possessed.
The three people surrounded Fu Yunshen.
The commotion was quite loud, and the butler was alerted.
Seeing the three direct descendants surrounding Fu Yunshen, he frowned and was about to rush forward to stop them.
Zhu Sha, who was following behind, raised her hand and smiled slightly: "It's just minor squabbles between the younger generation. We elders shouldn't interfere. It's inevitable that young people will get injured."
The butler stopped in his tracks.
Although he didn't like Fu Yunshen, Fu Yunshen was still Yu Shaoyun's son no matter what.
These are all strong contenders for the position of the next generation's patriarch, and their fighting skills are surprisingly high among their peers.
Fu Yunshen has only been in the City of the World for a short time and has not received formal training from the Yu family. What kind of fighting skills does he have?
The butler finally spoke up: "Madam, what about the head of the family..."
“The patriarch went through the same thing,” Zhu Sha continued with a smile. “A real man doesn’t want to live a life of ease, does he?”
The butler was speechless.
He was also quite curious to see if Fu Yunshen really had the ability.
To inherit the Yu family business, Yu Shaoyun's favoritism alone is far from enough.
Zhu Sha sat on the viewing platform of the hunting ground, covered her lips with her hand, and said lightly, "Go and ask the old lady to come down."
The maid bowed and said, "Yes."
Yesterday, Madam Yu was released from confinement, and Zhu Sha sent someone to invite her, and she came immediately.
Upon seeing the people at the hunting grounds, her old face instantly darkened: "Sha'er, I don't want to see him. Come on, I'll go with you to find Shao Ying."
An illegitimate child is an eyesore to her.
Zhu Sha sat still, only smiling: "Mom, they are all A-Yun's sons, don't be so biased. Look, he has many good qualities."
Old Madam Yu said sarcastically, "What are you looking at? Just a face?"
She only regretted that she hadn't stopped Fu Liuying and Yu Shaoyun from contacting each other in time.
It lowered the noble lineage of the Yu family.
Suppressing her anger, Old Madam Yu simply closed her eyes.
On the hunting grounds.
There were all sorts of cold weapons and firearms around.
"Brother, please." The Fifth Young Master smiled maliciously. "You don't even know how to shoot an arrow, do you? Drawing a bow and shooting an arrow is the most basic skill. If you don't even know this, it's unacceptable."
The fourth young master picked up the bow and arrows beside him and said, "Why say so much? Just let the eldest brother try it out."
As he spoke, he handed the bow and arrows to Fu Yunshen.
Norton x Sinai
The story of two geniuses _(:з」∠)_
I won't write about the supporting characters in the main story; they'll probably be featured in the side stories.
Hmm, I checked the plot progress, it might end ahead of schedule QwQ
