At noon, I applied for leave and sat on a bench in the children's park. For the entire morning, my mind was filled with the matter of Alicia. In the past, I had always been proud of the power of my true qi. Even after I reincarnated as a demon, I felt that I wasn't inferior to others. However, at this moment, I deeply understood how powerless I was after losing my true qi.
I didn't have the power of magic. If I couldn't use my internal energy, then all I had left was this body. Yes, all external support was not real. This body was the foundation of everything.
I took a deep breath. In the past, even cultivation was just a way to kill time. It seemed that I had to plan anew. At the very least, I had to squeeze out all the potential in this body. I was very confident in this.
"I remember that in my previous life, the instructor of our fist technique was a ruthless person who trained his body to the extreme. The way he trained his body was almost cruel, but his combat strength was also extraordinary. Even if I had reached the peak of my true energy before I died, I was not confident that I could defeat him in a one-on-one fight. His body was so tough that even if I were to hit him head-on with a pistol, I would only be able to cause minor injuries. The strength of his muscles could block all the bullets from the pistol. But I clearly knew that I wanted to become stronger, stronger than anyone else, just so that when I wanted to protect them, I would have the power to do so.
Just as I was silently recalling the training method that made me shudder, a golden color suddenly entered my eyes. When I looked up, I couldn't help but feel excited.
"Aicia…"
"Mr. Yicheng!"
That's right, the person who appeared in front of me was the one I was worried about, Alicia.
"Alicia, are you okay? Did they do anything to you? Why are you here? I'm so happy.”I spoke incoherently. To be honest, the excitement in my heart couldn't be any greater when I saw her. I would never forget the young girl who bravely stood in front of me when the Fallen Angel arrived.
" I'm fine, Mr. Yicheng. I…I'm just resting today. Yes, I'm resting today…" She turned her head away unnaturally.
What a lame lie. I even heard her praying: "Lord, please forgive my lies…"
This innocent little girl must have escaped. I made up my mind that I would bring her back to the Mysticism Research Society today. Even if the Minister did not agree, I would never return her to those dangerous fellows.
"Ah, since we're resting, why don't we go play together? How about we have a good day like this?”I suggested.
" Mm..." I saw Alicia smiling and nodding with tears in her eyes.
For the entire afternoon, we went to many places. In the fast food restaurant, I felt extremely calm when I saw Alicia struggling to decide what to eat. In the amusement park, I felt as if my heart had drunk honey when I saw Alicia laughing happily and smiling brightly. The department store, the arcade... our cheerful laughter could be heard everywhere, and the depressed mood dissipated in the smile of Alicia.
I saw that Alicia, who was very interested in a plush toy called " Rachu ", took it out of the claw machine with great effort. When she received the " Rachu " that I personally handed to her, she showed a dazzling and pure smile while crying." This is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life. I will cherish it well."”
I looked at her with a smile and gently stroked her head." Silly girl, we still have a long time. I will give you a lot of things in the future until you get tired of it."”
" Mm." Alicia shook her head." I can't be so greedy. Today is the only day. I will cherish this for the rest of my life because this is an important treasure that Mr. Yicheng gave me."”
" Haha…" My smile stopped, but it affected my gunshot wound. I had no choice. It would take a few days to recover.
"Ah, Mr. Yicheng, are you still injured from yesterday?”As Alicia spoke, she placed her hands on my back. A cool breeze instantly spread throughout my body, and the dull pain from the gunshot wound on my back quickly disappeared.
"Ah, Alicia, so powerful. My wound doesn't hurt at all. It's so powerful. This should be a divine artifact, right? It's much stronger than mine. It can even heal me, a demon.”I stood up and started to do all kinds of actions. It was really a miraculous healing speed.
"Yes, that's right." Alicia's voice lowered, and tears appeared on her face. She could not stop her tears. I didn't know what to do, so I took her to a bench at the side of the park.
"As for me, I'm an orphan. I was abandoned by my parents at the entrance of the church and orphanage when I was born.”Alicia told me about her past
"When I was eight years old, an injured puppy that was about to die entered the orphanage. I prayed desperately in front of the Lord, and a miracle happened. The puppy's injuries were healed and it regained its vitality. Then, I was brought to an even bigger church and was ordered to treat the diseases of believers everywhere. At that time, I was really happy. Seeing people get rid of their illnesses and smile again in front of me, I was very satisfied. As for the Holy Maiden, I never cared about it. I just wanted to continue living like this. I thought that this must be the mission that the Lord had given me.”
Alicia murmured to herself slowly, as if she wasn't talking to me, but was reminiscing about the past. When she talked about treating her believers, I noticed a reassuring smile on her face. It was obvious that she was very happy when she thought about her life back then.
"Then one day, an injured man came to me. I saved him, but he was a demon, and someone saw me saving him.
'A power that can heal even demons. That's a witch, the magic of a witch.'
"She can even heal a demon who is not blessed by the Lord. She is simply heretical. She should be judged."
So people said that, and I was banished.”
At this point, she couldn't help but cry out loud. I was speechless. I knew that there was no reason to believe in anything, but Alicia was still too pitiful. I hugged her gently and patted her back to comfort her.
" I think it's because my faith isn't pious enough. It's a test from the Lord. I keep praying for the Lord's forgiveness. I'm a good-for-nothing nun. I'm a little stupid and don't know anything. That's why the Lord keeps tempering me. I tell myself to be patient. One day, the Lord will forgive me.”
Alicia smiled as she cried. I'm not a sentimental person. I thought that my heart was as hard as iron after two lifetimes, but under her narration, my eyes felt a little blurry. My nose was sour, and even my throat was a little blocked. Please, Alicia, stop talking. I can't take it anymore.
" Actually, I've always had a wish. I hope that one day, I can make a lot of friends. We can go shopping together, buy flowers together, buy books together... chat together... We'll be very happy every day..."
I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes. At this time, Alicia was already sobbing.
I knew that Alicia must have been depressed for too long. She had been praying and waiting for God's salvation, but God didn't do anything for her. Her suffering was still the same.
God, what bullsh * t God. Since you have given up on Alicia, then I, the devil, will come and save her. I will hold her tightly in my hands and never let her suffer any more grievances. I will cherish her, protect her, and make her happy.
I let go of her and wiped my tears. I held her hands and looked at his red and swollen eyes."Alicia, let me be your friend. We're already friends, aren't we?”
She raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes.”
"There's no why. I'm just making friends. Although I'm a demon, I really want to be your friend. Look, we chatted together today, went shopping together, and went to the amusement park together. Aren't we very happy? From now on, we can play and shop however we want. I'll always be your friend until you get tired of me and don't want to talk to me.”
Alicia shook her head hard." Mr. Yicheng is such a good person. How could I be bored? It's just that I don't know anything and can't do anything well…"
"It's okay. In the future, we'll go shopping more and broaden our horizons.”I answered without hesitation.
" But my Japanese isn't good either. No one can understand what I'm saying, and I don't understand Japanese culture," Alicia said, still very unconfident.
"Don't worry, not only will I teach you Japanese, I'll even teach you the more difficult Chinese. I know many foreign languages, and I can teach you all of them. When the time comes, I'll make sure you make friends in different countries and chat happily with them in all kinds of languages.”I patted my chest as a guarantee. I didn't even care about the pain in my chest from using too much strength. At this moment, who cared?
"Alicia, aren't we happy today? Don't you want to be friends with a demon like me? Is it because I'm a demon and not worthy of you?”I couldn't bear to watch the unconfident Alicia. I knew that she would definitely agree to my request. I could even imagine how anxious Alicia would be. Such a pure and kind Alicia was so easy to understand.
" Ah--how is that possible? Mr. Yicheng, I definitely didn't mean that. I don't... ah, it's not..." The clumsy Alicia tried her best to explain, but the more anxious she was, the more speechless she became.
I grabbed Assia's hands tightly.""Alicia, I just want to ask you, are you willing to be my friend?”
Under my almost forceful attack, Alicia nodded repeatedly. I couldn't help but smile and stroke her head."Alright, Alicia, please take care of me in the future.”
" Yes-" Alicia nodded heavily. Her eyes were glistening with tears, but I think her tears were of joy.
As for the minister's warning, I had already forgotten about it. The most important thing now was to make the girl in front of me smile. I couldn't care less about anything else. There would always be a way when the time came. There would definitely be a way.
"Can the children's drinking end now? This is such a boring cliché plot.”
A third voice suddenly interrupted my thoughts.
" Lady Renalei…" Alicia exclaimed.
When I turned around, I saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure. It was Yuma Amano, no, it should be called the Fallen Angel Renalei. She was currently dressed in an extremely explosive outfit.
The two black ribbons could only cover the two important points in front of his chest. Most of the two balls were exposed on the outside. There was a belt that was half a palm wide under the two halves. Other than the two shoulder pads on his shoulders, there was nothing on his upper body. The lower half of her body was even more sexy than a bikini. There was a small piece of black cloth on the important parts, which extended from a few straps to her waist. There were two black stockings that reached above her knees, and coupled with leather boots, such a dress was filled with a strange and sexy charm.
"What are you doing here? Alicia has no intention of going back.”I protected Alicia behind me and said loudly.
" Filthy low-level demon, you're terrible. Seeing you only makes me feel disgusted. Don't think that you can be presumptuous in front of me just because you have some strength. Alicia belongs to us. Return her to me quickly, and I can pretend that you never hurt my subordinates.”The Fallen Angel Renalei's originally radiant face had now turned ferocious, and her aura was rising steadily.
She reached out her hand." Come on, Alicia. Don't give me any more trouble. Come back with me. It's useless to run away."”
" No, I don't want to go back to that place where I killed people. Besides, you want to…" Alicia said her thoughts loudly and grabbed my clothes tightly."Mr. Yicheng, I'm really sorry. Actually, I ran out of the church.”
"I already knew about this. How could a kind-hearted person like Alicia hang out with those bad guys?" I replied nonchalantly.”
Renalei's face darkened. With a wave of her hand, a purple spear of light appeared in her hand."Don't say that, Alicia. Our plan can't be without your divine weapon. I've been looking for you for a long time. Come with me quickly. Don't make me angry, or I'll step on this dirty demon bug.”
Seeing the laser gun appear in Renalei's hand, I couldn't help but feel nervous. I shouted in my heart, and my left hand flashed with red light as the Dragon Hand appeared.
When Renalei saw the divine weapon in my hand, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she couldn't help but laugh out loud."Haha…I thought it was some kind of amazing divine artifact, but it turns out to be a Level 2 crisis dragon hand. Such divine artifacts are everywhere, and the higher-ups actually said that your divine artifact was very dangerous, causing me to have to put on that boring show with you.”
I didn't care what she said. There was nothing for me to miss about her. With a low voice saying " BOOST ", power began to surge within my body.
I gently pushed Alicia away from me, allowing her to stay further away from me. At the same time, I slightly bent down. At this moment, I simply did not have the capital to fight her. My meridians were injured, and it was difficult to mobilize my inner qi. I did not have any means of long-range attacks. Against her who was floating in the air, I did not have any means of dealing with her. Even if I forcefully mobilized my inner qi, I would only be able to attack once. After that attack, even maintaining my consciousness would require a great deal of willpower. No matter how I thought about it, I would definitely lose this battle, but I could not retreat. As a man, if he couldn't protect a woman, what was the point of living?
"Why? Do you want to fight me? With your Level 2 Crisis Dragon Hand? Even if I double my strength, there is no difference between one and two to me. If you fight me, you will die.”Renalei looked at me with disdain, not a hint of respect in her voice.
"Bitch, you're so long-winded. It's the same with dating you. If I didn't want to rub your stinky flesh, who would have the mood to play house with you? Don't think that you're bored. Even I'm bored to the core.”Who would I, an expert who had been trained by a hooligan, be afraid of when it comes to scolding others? Since I'm lacking in strength, I'll make up for it in other aspects. I'll make you lose your calm and fill your chest with anger. As long as I find a chance, I'll let you know how powerful I am.
"What did you say? You damn bug, I'm going to cut you into pieces. I'm going to cut you into pieces.”My words caused Renalei to completely lose her mind. She leaped up from the water and shot the laser gun in her hand at me.
"You self-righteous slut. I can tell from your clothes that you're not satisfied. I think you can't get men to like you. Why are you dressed so scantily? Even if you wanted to sell it, no one would want it. Even the lowest grade chicken would be a hundred times better than you.”I nimbly dodged the laser gun's attack, but my mouth didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. I kept spewing out vicious words.
"What did you say? What did you say? " Who says I don't have anyone to love me? As long as I succeed today, I'll get it. I'll get the love of Lord Asasheer and Lord Shamuhsa, the love I've been waiting for…" Although Renalei's face was ferocious and terrifying, for some reason, when she mentioned the names of the two so-called lords, her face showed longing and admiration.
"I say, slut, why don't you look in the mirror? With your looks, you should take a piss and look at yourself. Don't you know that if you don't dress up, you'll look uglier than a pig. Once you dress up, you'll scare a pig into paralysis. With your looks, it's not your fault that you're ugly, but it's really your fault that you're ugly and come out to scare people.”I used my venomous tongue to the extreme, and I used classic curses without hesitation.
" Ah! You lowly demon! I'm going to kill you!" Renalei's face was already distorted. My words were like a sharp knife stabbing into her heart. She threw the laser gun in her hand at me one after another, but because she was already unconscious from anger, every attack missed me. In fact, it even deviated slightly.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded,""Lady Renalei, please calm down and think of the bigger picture.”
When I looked again, I saw that the surroundings were already surrounded by three Fallen Angels. I had seen two of them before. One of them was a mature lady called Karavana, and the other was the middle-aged uncle Diaz whom I had seen last night. As for the last young man, it was my first time seeing him, and the one who had spoken was the fiery mature lady called Karavana.
I glared at Caravana with fiery eyes, because in her arms, Assia was lowering her head softly.
Renalei slowly calmed down and glared at me. At this moment, Caravana flew to her side and handed Assia to her, saying softly,""Lady Renalei, you have to think about the big picture. He is the servant of the owner of House Jimmon. If we kill him now, it will affect our plan. When you get what you need, won't it be easy to kill him? We can still make it then!"
"Okay." Renalei nodded. She turned around and glared at me. Seeing that she was about to leave, I shouted angrily," Stop right there! Return Althea to me!" Just as I was about to charge forward, the other three Fallen Angels surrounded me at the same time. At the same time, the laser guns in their hands flashed and shot straight at me. I hurriedly moved my feet and managed to dodge the attacks of the three laser guns with great difficulty. When I looked up again, I had already lost sight of them. There was nothing else in the entire park other than the holes that had been blasted by their laser guns.
I collapsed onto the ground weakly and hammered the ground with all my might. I didn't care about the bloody mess of my fists on the ground. I only smashed deep pits on the stone ground. I was so useless. Just now, I said that I would protect her as a friend and be with Alicia forever, but I watched as she was snatched away from me.
Just as I was about to smash my fist into the ground again, a pair of hands grabbed my arm tightly. When I looked up, I saw the head of the department, Senpai Zhu Nai, Kiba, and Kitten standing beside me. The person who stopped me was the head of the department with a serious expression.
