Chapter 258
Chapter 258
The Priest vomited for a long time before emerging from the bathroom. His neck was already burned. If he had not been a half-Fiend, he would be dead!
“Fine! Since you want to kill me, don’t blame me for fighting back!”
The Priest toppled a Statue beside him and pulled a book from beneath it.
“I possess the doctrine bestowed by Asa, the chief god of my faith. I… Hm? Why is it so light?”
“Uncle, paper airplane!”
“Oh, wonderful! So wonderful… Why does that paper airplane look familiar?”
He peered closer. Wasn’t that his doctrine?
“My doctrine! Aah!”
The Priest screamed. The book in his hands had been torn apart by Liu Ye until only the cover and final page remained. No wonder it was so light!
“You forced me to do this!”
The Priest began chanting. His power lay in his voice. Besides compelling people to obey, he could also strengthen a Fiend Curse.
He decided to summon his god into his body and crush Liu Ye in one stroke!
“My god, descend!”
The Priest roared. A phantom appeared behind him, then entered the Statue.
“My god…”
The Priest looked excitedly at the Statue. It opened its eyes, glanced down, and then…
Smack!
The Statue slapped the Priest to the floor, then spun around and fled!
The Priest: “…”
What had happened? Why had his god run away? Had his god abandoned him?
Meanwhile, inside Rose Apartment, Yellow Hair stared speechlessly at the trembling Statue.
“You really have rotten luck. You only managed to gather a handful of followers in the real world, and every one of them ran into Liu Ye.”
The Statue glanced at him, then displayed words on its sign.
“As though your luck is any better. If you were lucky, would you have met Liu Ye?”
“Hey! You damn bachelor,[^1] are you picking a fight with me?”
“Who are you calling a bachelor? I’ve been polished!”
“You ****”
“Brother Lü, what’s happening over there? Why is it so noisy?”
John found the commotion on the phone strange. He had called the driver to ask about Liu Ye’s everyday habits, since he might have to travel with Brother Liu in the future.
“Oh, nothing. The kid at home is fighting with the Statue. Ignore them. Let me continue.”
John: “…”
As expected of Brother Liu’s relative. He could even get into a fight with a Statue.
In the Fiendish World, the Priest could not endure the shock of watching his god flee. His mind began to collapse!
“Uncle…”
“Don’t call me Uncle! Who’s your uncle? You little demon! You little bastard! Nothing good has happened since I met you! Get lost! You ****”
The viewers heard the Priest curse but sympathized with him completely. Anyone who met a child like Liu Ye would break down.
Yet Guiwa and the other Fiends watching the screen all looked terrified.
“It’s over!”
Liu Ye stared blankly at the Priest. Perhaps the man’s vicious expression had frightened him. Tears immediately welled in his eyes, and then…
“Waaah! Uncle yelled at me! Uncle yelled at me! Waaah!”
Boom, boom, boom!
The powerful sound waves blasted the Priest away, making him spew blood. It did not end there. His body repeatedly slammed into the wall in rhythm with Liu Ye’s cries, like a broken toy.
At the same time, the entire hospital began to shake without stopping.
Inside the room, the Priest clung desperately to the floor, struggling not to be flung away.
“I-I didn’t yell at you! You heard wrong! Fuck!”
Bang!
“Stop crying… I…”
Bang!
“Please, little master! Please! I’m begging you, stop crying!” Blood began flowing from the Priest’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth.
“Uncle yelled at me! Uncle yelled at me!”
[^1]: In Chinese, *guanggun* means “bachelor” but literally evokes a bare, smooth stick, prompting the polished Statue’s reply.
“Uncle was wrong! Uncle was truly wrong! Please forgive Uncle! I wasn’t yelling at you!”
The Priest wailed through his tears.
I’ve been tormented into this state, yet I still have to apologize to him. Where’s the justice in that?
“I want grapes! I want grapes!”
“All right, all right! Uncle will find you grapes. Just stop crying first!”
“I want grapes! Waaah!”
“Aah! Help!”
The Priest clutched his head and screamed in despair.
Finally, an hour later, Liu Ye seemed to tire himself out from crying. He wrapped his arms around the Priest’s neck and fell asleep.
The Priest staggered upright. Without even bothering to dress, he hurried outside and searched the chaotic rooms one by one.
At last, he found grapes in one of them.
“Thank goodness!”
The Priest dropped to his knees and knocked his forehead against the floor, weeping uncontrollably. He was the mighty leader of the Church of the Creator God and had enjoyed every delicacy imaginable, yet now a single bunch of grapes made him this happy.
“Are you… the Priest?”
A voice came from ahead. The Priest looked up and saw another familiar face.
“Wu Tian! Thank goodness! I never expected to meet you here!”
The Priest crawled toward him on all fours.
Wu Tian stared in shock.
“What happened to you? How did you end up looking so wretched?”
He had needed a long look just to recognize the man.
“It’s a long story…” The Priest wept as he recounted everything he had suffered.
Meanwhile, John immediately investigated Wu Tian’s identity.
Wu Tian was also a half-Fiend and an extremely vicious criminal. He was not from Huicheng, but had come from Rongcheng. Reportedly, more than a thousand girls in Rongcheng had been hopelessly in love with him.
At an entire girls’ school in Rongcheng, everyone from the principal to the students had belonged to his harem.
He had even turned all the men into his slaves. In the end, an investigator from headquarters captured him.
“Isn’t he the protagonist of one of those erotic harem stories?”
Someone could not help laughing aloud.
“You’re laughing? Wasn’t your hometown Rongcheng? I think you even lived in the same neighborhood as that guy.”
The staff member: “…”
Fiendish World.
After hearing the Priest’s story, Wu Tian could not help laughing.
“You’ve really regressed. How did a little brat reduce you to this?”
He refused to believe an ordinary human could possess such power.
“You have to believe me! Everything I said is true… Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Wu Tian, help me erase every memory of me from this boy’s mind. Make it as though he never met me. I will reward you handsomely afterward!”
Wu Tian’s ability was memory alteration. It was how he had gained so many women.
“Heh. Fine, but I have one condition,” Wu Tian said calmly.
“Name it! I’ll even call you Dad!”
The Priest exclaimed excitedly.
Wu Tian: “…”
I don’t want an ugly son like you.
“I want this boy.”
The Priest’s story might have been exaggerated, but it proved the boy was extraordinary. If Wu Tian turned him into a slave and trained him, taking revenge on that investigator would become much easier!
But the moment Wu Tian finished speaking, tears rolled down the Priest’s face, startling him.
“Wu Tian, I… I always thought you were a bastard. But today, I finally realize you’re a good man! You’re willing to sacrifice yourself for others! Your character is noble! Boo-hoo…”
“So… you agree?”
“Yes! Take him quickly.”
The Priest tried to put Liu Ye down, but the boy’s grip was so tight that he would not let go.
“No problem! If I can’t pry his hands loose, I can cut off my own flesh!”
