A hint of displeasure flashed across Shi Ang's eyes, and the two cinnabar moles on his forehead trembled slightly. " Don't you want to know who took away your beloved woman?" Shion asked with a natural expression.”
Nangong Chenxue's heart skipped a beat. At that time, his only purpose in coming to the Holy Region was to inquire about Yu Kui's whereabouts. Shion's words undoubtedly grasped his lifeline.
After pondering for a while, Nangong Chenxue looked at Shi Ang coldly and said,"Why do I have to become a Saint Seiya?"”
Ignoring the coldness in Nangong Chenxue's tone, Shi Ang turned around and looked up at the ceiling with a dejected expression.
"In fact, the biggest threat to the safety of the earth is not Poseidon, who initiated the Holy War, but from the King of Gods Zeus and Poseidon's brother, Hades, who is in charge of the Kingdom of Death. Hades, who was unwilling to live alone in the dark underworld, wanted to shroud the earth in darkness. Athena, who was in charge of the earth, naturally would not agree. Therefore, since the Mythological Era, Hades would descend to the human world every 243 years and lead his 108 demon stars to fight fiercely with the holy seiya led by the goddess Athena. In the thousands of years of Holy War, due to the desperate struggle between the Goddess and the Saint Seiyas, Hades 'attempt to envelop the land had never been realized. Now, it was less than 30 years before the next Holy War, and the Sanctum was attacked by Eris, the Goddess of War, and almost destroyed. Its strength had been greatly reduced. If they did not restore their former prosperity as soon as possible, they might not be able to repel Hades 'attack like before. When the world was shrouded in darkness, everyone would die.”
Without giving Nangong Chenxue a chance, Shi Ang continued,""I asked you to become a Saint Seiya for the sake of humanity. With more strength, there was more hope for victory. Besides, I heard from Tiger Cub that your combat talent is astonishing and that your potential is limitless. As long as he became a Saint Seiya, with the comprehension of the small universe, he might even become the strongest Gold Saint in the future.”
On one side was the news of the love he had painstakingly searched for, and on the other side was his unrestrained pride. Should he insist on not succumbing to anyone's pride, or should he lower his head in exchange for a trace of information about his beloved? Nangong Chenxue was caught in a dilemma. Originally, for Yu Kui, he was willing to give up everything, including the pride of his freedom. However, Tiger Cub had asked him about something that forced him to reconsider. If one day, when the peace of the world and the safety of Yu Kui were in his hands, and if he became a Saint Seiya, he would no longer be able to give an answer as easily as before.
"Can you give me some time to think about it carefully?”Nangong Chenxue could not answer, so she could only make such a request.
"Alright, I'll give you one day. Tomorrow night, come back to the Pope's Hall and tell me your answer.”Shi Ang thought about it and quickly agreed to Nangong Chenxue's request.
"Thank you, Lord Supreme Pontiff. Then I will take my leave.”Nangong Chenxue said as she walked out of the Pope's Hall.
I hope you won't disappoint me, or I won't mind killing you! Even if it was against the duty of a Saint Seiya. Shi Ang looked at Nangong Chenxue's retreating figure and clenched his fists.
Nangong Chenxue was already exhausted when he returned to the high-level straw hut that the Holy Region had assigned to him. Since the Pope had given him a day, he would have to sleep first before thinking of a solution. Since the Supreme Pontiff had already promised to not make things difficult for Xuan 'er and Ling' er, then they should be fine? They probably went to sleep now. When the time came, he would discuss it with them. The mature and steady Xuan Er and the eccentric Ling Er might be able to give him a surprise. Having made up her mind, Nangong Chenxue didn't care about that anymore. She immediately fell asleep. He did not sleep the whole night and was beaten up for no reason. He was physically and mentally exhausted, so he quickly went to meet Yu Kui in his dream.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Nangong Chenxue was woken up by a series of rustling sounds. She opened her sleepy eyes in pain and looked at the graceful figure who was tidying up the room. She said in a muffled voice," Xuan Er, why are you up so early?"”
Xuan 'er stopped what she was doing and turned around. She said in a somewhat arrogant tone," It's still early. The sun is about to set. Lord Nangong really knows how to joke!"”
"Uh…hehe." Nangong Chenxue scratched her head awkwardly, and her mouth twitched.
"That…where's Ling Er? Why isn't she here?"
"She saw that you weren't up yet, so she went to heat up your lunch! Her heart aches for her brother!”Xuan Er pursed her lips and looked at Nangong Chenxue silently.
"Ah…um…you guys didn't get into trouble, right?”Nangong Chenxue avoided Xuan 'er's resentful gaze through the mask. For some reason, he actually didn't dare to look directly at her.
As if sensing Nangong Chenxue's predicament, Xuan 'er turned around and picked up a broom to sweep the floor." After you sent us away, the Chief of Staff discovered us. However, he released us not long after. I heard that the Pope had given the order to pardon us."”
"However, why do you think the great Pope would personally pardon two unknown maids?”Xuan Er looked at Nangong Chenxue with a puzzled expression and stopped once again.
"Of course, I'm the one who pleaded for you!”Nangong Chenxue smiled confidently, her unruly expression somewhat arrogant.
"Ah…Chenxue, thank you." Xuan Er used her gentle voice to speak shyly.
Seeing Xuan Er's expression, Nangong Chenxue, who was originally beaming with joy, was at a loss. Nangong Chenxue smiled embarrassedly, not knowing what to say. Xuan Er pursed her lips and remained silent. For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.
Suddenly, the door opened. Ling 'er broke the awkward atmosphere with the bright and lustrous dishes.
Smelling the fragrance, Nangong Chenxue's spirit was lifted. She quickly lifted the rag covering her body, reached out to take the food from Ling 'er's hands, and began to wolf it down. After a day of exhaustion and hunger, he could not care less about his image now.
Ling 'er and Xuan' er looked at each other, then slowly shifted their gazes to the side. They swallowed the secretions in their mouths with difficulty, and the corners of their eyes twitched slightly.
Nangong Chenxue raised her head again and rubbed her bulging belly. She said leisurely,""Ling 'er, the food you made is really delicious! Look, I'm about to die from bloating."
"If Brother Chenxue likes it, I'll make it for you every day in the future.”Ling-er answered happily.
Nangong Chenxue chuckled. After a moment of silence, she said,"I'm afraid that your brother Chenxue won't have this fortune.”After saying that, he could not help but sigh softly.
"What's wrong, Brother Chenxue? Don't you like Ling 'er? Ling-er's anxious tone instantly turned into a sobbing tone, and Ling-er's eyes were slightly moist.
"No, Ling 'er, how can I not like you?”When Nangong Chenxue heard that Ling 'er was about to cry, she quickly comforted her," You're just like my sister. Brother Chenxue likes you more than anything! Why would I hate you?"
"Really?" Ling 'er was like a child, her bright eyes changing rapidly and flashing with light. "Then why did you say that?"
Xuan Er stood at the side, anxiously waiting for Nangong Chenxue's answer.
Nangong Chenxue took a deep breath and said in a heavy tone,""Because I'm leaving."
"Why?" Not only Ling 'er, even Xuan' er blurted out in surprise.
Because I'm going to find someone." Nangong Chenxue turned her head away, her deep voice filled with endless sorrow.
"Who is it?"
"A very important person."
"How important is it?"
"For her, I can give up everything, even my life.”
"Your life?" Xuan 'er repeated these words over and over again, her head hung low, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
"For Brother Chenxue, I can give up my life!”Ling 'er shouted at Nangong Chenxue.
Nangong Chenxue turned around and revealed a charming smile. He touched Ling 'er's soft blonde hair and said softly,"You're still young. You won't understand. You'll understand when you grow up!" Then, he walked around the two of them and walked towards the door.
"What? Who said that Ling 'er doesn't understand? Brother Chenxue only knows how to underestimate Ling' er.”Ling 'er continued talking to herself for a while before stomping her foot and following Nangong Chenxue out. Xuan 'er didn't say anything as she followed behind.
Arriving at a low hill, Nangong Chenxue quietly looked at the sky that was burning red by the setting sun. She let the breeze caress her face as she pondered over the conditions and requests the Pope had given her.
"That person must be Chenxue's lover!”At some point in time, Xuan 'er had walked over and said gently.
"Xuan 'er is really smart. I can't fool you at all.”Nangong Chenxue didn't deny it at all, because in this unfamiliar Holy Region, he had already treated the two of them like family.
"Does she like you?"
Although Xuan Er tried her best to calm herself down, Nangong Chenxue could still hear a hint of strangeness in her tone. Nangong Chenxue laughed and said helplessly,""Maybe not! He was always so lukewarm. Perhaps it was just my wishful thinking.”There was an unspeakable sadness between the lines.
"But I won't give up. Even if I have to find the ends of the earth, even if I have to search the entire world, I will definitely find her! At the very least, I want to see her happy face with my own eyes.”Nangong Chenxue said firmly, her red eyes flashing with determination.
