Chapter 29: CH 29

In the alleys, the neon lights intertwined with the night and there were noisy crowds of people. Yet in this moment, in Si Sheng’s world, there was nothing but silence and the young man in front of him.

He stared at the other person in a daze. Then his right hand lifted slightly to hold the blue stone hanging around his neck, staring down at it. It was very ordinary but…

It was more beautiful than all the gems he had seen.

Lord God had given him so many treasures but it was always in an understated manner, as if he had given the whole world and there was nothing to worry about…

Yes, this was his god.

His hands clenched as he raised his eyes to look at the young man with silver hair in front of him. He was smiling slightly, his good-looking eyes bent in the shape of a crescent moon.

Si Sheng opened his mouth but didn’t find his voice. He had been waiting so long that once the moment came, he was a bit overwhelmed. It was really Him… right?

“Boss, how much are you selling this chain for?” Xu Sili didn’t discover Si Sheng’s abnormality. He just looked at the stall owner and asked loudly.

The stall owner had been soliciting customers and looked over at the sound. Then he stared with surprise at the two people standing in front of the stall.

Soon, the surprise in his eyes turned to doubts and then dawning realization and excitement.

It was the patron… patron saint…

In addition, there was…

His Majesty?!

“Boss, how much are you selling this necklace for?”

Xu Sili looked at him and patiently asked again with a gentle smile on his lips.

The stall owner was an elderly man. He gulped and looked nervously to the left and right. He was a bit confused. Why hadn’t the others noticed the two bigshots in front of him?

He didn’t dare to speak up. He only hurriedly waved his hand. “N… nothing.”

The old man stammered as his face turned red. It took him a moment before he finally completed his words. “For the lord, this is a small token of appreciation.”

“That won’t work.” Xu Sili shook his head. “Boss, you are a small business…”

“No! There is really no need!” The stall owner’s volume instinctively rose when he saw that the young man was going to pay. The stunned Si Sheng recovered. He couldn’t help frowning as he glared at the stall owner with blazing eyes.

The stall owner suddenly froze as he felt an immense pressure. It was so immensely heavy that he almost fell down. Nevertheless, he still looked at Si Sheng with eyes full of worship and excitement.

“Lord, I… I really can’t accept your money…” The old man’s voice shook and his eyes were wet.

“Three… three years ago, thank you… thank you for saving my little grandson…” The old man’s voice was full of trembling. “You and this… young master, it is a blessing for you to look at my necklace. Please accept it!”

Xu Sili heard the words and couldn’t help looking at Si Sheng. It seemed that this patron saint had a really high reputation in the Roland Empire.

However, some people gradually paid attention to this side due to the excitement in the old man’s voice. Si Sheng’s Passerby Halo could only reduce the attention of others. It wasn’t complete invisibility. It was just like the stall owner. Once Xu Sili made a sound, he discovered them and recognized them.

Xu Sili had been enjoying the low-key state just now and didn’t want to be surrounded again.

He didn’t take advantage of the old man. He casually threw down 100 Escher coins before taking Si Sheng’s hand and dragging him to the end of the alley, regardless of the stall owner’s request. Soon, they mixed into the crowd.

The stall owner took the money and chased a few steps, only to find that the two people had disappeared. He was stunned. Then he sighed and walked back to the stall.

He looked down at the Escher coins in his hand and carefully placed them inside an iron box. This was what His Majesty gave him!

He didn’t think much of the little emperor before but since the patron saint supported His Majesty in this way, what reasons did he have to oppose?

The old man smiled. He decided that after he went back, he would frame the 100 coins as a family heirloom!

***

[Ding~ Popular support rate +1%. Current popular support rate: 54%.]

[Note: There is the possibility of a civil commotion when the popular support rate is less than 50%.]

Xu Sili pulled Si Sheng through the crowd and was stunned by the panel that suddenly popped up.

Why did he get the support of nearly a million people when he did nothing?

Then Xu Sili soon understood.

It should be the live broadcast of the reconstruction of Mercenary Town with the beast fighting arena that attracted public attention and boosted his popularity.

This was simply a divine pen stroke! 1% might not be a lot but it was only one day.

Once more people saw the situation of Mercenary Town and saw it becoming prosperous while basic infrastructure was on the plan for other places, he believed there would be more people to support him. It was impossible for a civil commotion to happen!

Xu Sili couldn’t help feeling refreshed thinking about this. So who decided to broadcast the rebuilding of the town? What a genius! Wait, there was the familiar reporter called Yu Lin.

Xu Sili had also watched the last broadcast with the three star beast. This reporter really spared no effort in praising him and it was also a live broadcast.

Xu Sili was from the era of traffic and he understood the importance of marketing.

As long as it was good, people would always know about it even in a remote location. If he wanted to improve the popular support rate, he couldn’t hide these things. In any case, he wasn’t exaggerating. He was just showing what he had done. He hadn’t considered this before and hadn’t expected someone to do it for him in advance.

Xu Sili smiled. He felt that this wasn’t bad.

He was thinking to himself without knowing at all…

He was still holding someone’s hand.

Si Sheng walked behind the young man, a bit absent-minded. It was because at this moment, almost all of his attention fell on the hands of the two people.

The young man’s hand was much smaller than his. Unlike his rough hand, the pampered young emperor had very fine, smooth skin and his fingers were long and slender, but there was the strength that belonged to a man. It held him so tightly, slowly passing over body temperature to him and letting him… hear his own heartbeat.

They moved forward along with the crowd. They were surrounded by noise but Si Sheng felt it was very quiet, so quiet that it was just the two of them. He even had some hope… that this road would never stop.

However, this was doomed to be impossible.

Xu Sili followed the crowd to a square where people from the circus were performing. The audience seemed to see the highlights. They were clapping, shouting and cheering.

Xu Sili couldn’t help standing on his toes. In order to maintain his balance, he released the hand of the man behind him.

Si Sheng stared at his released hand and a bit of loss appeared in his gray-blue eyes like he was an abandoned dog.

However, the young man standing in front of him didn’t notice this. He was looking over but they were too far away from the center of the square and it was packed. He couldn’t see the circus performance at all.

Xu Sili pursed his lips. Just as he was thinking about it, a powerful arm suddenly wrapped around his waist from behind, pulling him backward and into this person’s embrace.

He blinked. Was there any danger?

There had been such a situation several times today. For the sake of his life, Xu Sili didn’t move even though he felt a bit uncomfortable.

He didn’t know if it was his illusion but he felt that Si Sheng’s body was trembling slightly. Yet this idea passed quickly and was soon denied. It was because Si Sheng was so strong. It was hard to imagine anything that would make him tremble with fear.

They stood quietly in the crowd. No one paid attention to them.

Si Sheng lowered his head slightly, the bangs on his forehead falling down and casting a shadow over his eyes.

No one saw his expression at this moment and no one discovered… how the hesitation and uneasiness hidden in his eyes turned into suppressed joy and madness.

This state didn’t last long. Before the puzzled Xu Sili questioned it, Si Sheng suppressed the trembling in his body, lowered his head carefully and whispered in a restrained manner in this person’s ear, “I… will take you to a high place.”

The man’s voice was low and hoarse. It suddenly entered his ears and hit his eardrums.

Xu Sili frowned slightly, feeling a bit strange.

It was just that he didn’t have time to study it carefully. He felt a blur in front of his eyes and a feeling of vertigo flooded his brain.

Once the vertigo disappeared, Xu Sili found that he was no longer in the square but…

He was held by Si Sheng on the clock tower of Imperial City! He stood at the top of the clock tower and had a wide field of view. He could see the illuminated houses below and the bright starry sky above his head without any shadows.

Xu Sili was attracted by the scenery and didn’t break free of Si Sheng’s arms.

Behind him, Si Sheng carefully held the young man’s waist as he slightly closed his eyes and greedily sniffed the smell on this body.

Lord God…

It is really you, right?

Gift… only you will give me a gift.

My skills are invalid against you. I was easily captured by you and became a puppet. You sang that song…

So how could it not be you? It must be…

Si Sheng suppressed the last of his doubts deep in his heart. How could it not be him? There were so many details, so many conversations that made him feel familiar… how could it not be him? The young man in front of him was the one he had longed for over so many years.

Yes, it wasn’t wrong.

He tried to control the trembling of his body so that he didn’t show any abnormalities.

Xu Sili didn’t notice. He stared at the starry sky above his head before smiling and watching the circus performance below.

It was still a bit far away but he could see it clearly. Away from the crowd, he was able to use his spiritual power smoothly.

“Hey, Si Sheng.”

He looked down while shouting at the man behind him, “I want to see the show. Help me like you did before.”

“Okay.”

Si Sheng responded. Apart from it being somewhat hoarse, it was no different from usual.

Xu Sili smiled softly. Then he thought about something and asked, “Is holding me the only way for your mental strength to guide me?”

Just now, they had been in the alley when Si Sheng came over and hugged him. At that time, he had been startled.

Si Sheng pursed his lips and the ears hidden by the golden hair slightly reddened. “Yes.”

His eyes flicked as he responded in a low voice.

Xu Sili nodded. He thought it was like this. It might feel strange but who told him to have such low strength? It was only for the time being. He thought about what he had seen in novels and asked again, “If I often use spiritual strength, can I improve it faster?”

“Yes.”

Si Sheng cherished words like they were gold and Xu Sili was used to it.

He heard the positive answer and nodded. He no longer continued to delay but closed his eyes, spread out his mental power and entered that mysterious state again.

The scene within five meters was once again clearly displayed in his mind.

First, he ‘looked’ at himself. To be precise, it was himself who was held by Si Sheng. This was actually a very good image.

Under the bright starlight, the silver-haired young man stood on the clock tower while being hugged by a man in military uniform from behind. The wind blew his hair and caused the man’s white cloak to fly up. Under their feet was a city of lights that formed a romantic picture.

If this was reality and the person being held wasn’t himself, Xu Sili felt he might take a screenshot of this scene to make a computer desktop background.

Now, his heart really couldn’t say how strange it was.

Xu Sili was frowning slightly and almost exited from this mysterious state when a light screen suddenly appeared in front of his ‘eyes.’

[Ding~ The ‘shooting’ system has been activated. Do you want to start shooting?]

Xu Sili’s attention was diverted.

What? There was a shooting system? Then he thought about it…

Yes, this was a game after all and it should have built-in photo shooting capabilities. It didn’t seem unusual? He had the player leveling up panel. The shooting system didn’t seem that strange in comparison.

Xu Sili focused his attention on the shooting system and heard a slight ‘click’. Then a new notification appeared.

[Successfully shot the photo.]

[The photo has been saved in the album. Please go to the album to rename it.]

Xu Sili wanted to go to the album when he felt a golden energy invading and gently touching his purple mental power. It was Si Sheng. He had started to guide Xu Sili. Well, the photo album could wait until he went back. Now he would watch the circus performance!

Xu Sili restrained his thoughts and under the guidance of the powerful golden energy, he slowly spread out his mental power to the square below.

The circus performance clearly appeared in his mind. He had seen circus performances before but he had never ‘watched’ it in such a special way.

Xu Sili carefully felt his state at this moment. It was cool. There was a feeling of mastering the world and that nothing could escape his observations.

In this state, Xu Sili’s nerves that had been tight since he transmigrated here relaxed slightly. Pleasure and peace of mind enveloped him. He enjoyed this state and his body relaxed. He lazily leaned back in the arms of the person behind him.

Si Sheng was slightly startled before the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He held the young man in his arms as if he was holding the entire world.

Just then, Xu Sili had a strange discovery.

He had been controlling his mental power to explore the square. Finally, he pulled up his perspective and ‘looked’ below, only to discover with surprise…

There was actually a large magic circle engraved on the square!

The place where the circus was performing happened to be the center of the circle. After discovering this, he used Insight out of curiosity.

A light screen emerged.

[Imperial City Summoning Circle]

[Description:

The Roland Empire has an old legend. It is said that once certain conditions are met, the ancient giant summoning magic circle will automatically unseal.

Brave people from another world will be summoned to rescue the people from dire straits, leading the Roland Empire back to its peak.

Status: Sealed.

Time to the unsealing: 29 days, 11 hours, 56 minutes.]

Xu Sili saw the description of the magic circle and was shocked.

Brave people from another world…

Weren’t they the players? So the Imperial City Summoning Circle… fu*k, this was actually the players’ birth point! The distance to be unsealed…

Was it the first internal test? He glanced at the clock tower and found it was 10:04 p.m. So at 10 a.m. in a month, the first internal test would be opened? Then… he would see his second brother!

Xu Sili was excited after finally knowing the exact time when the first closed beta would be opened.

Great! One month. Just one month.

Xu Sili laughed and instantly felt full of motivation. There might be only 24 days until the 10 million alliance fee had to be paid but he wasn’t discouraged at all. In a few days, he would be reunited with his family!

The spiritual powers of the two people were intertwined and Si Sheng could clearly sense the young man’s suddenly excited mood.

He was a bit puzzled. What happened?

“Si Sheng, let’s go back.” Xu Sili opened his eyes and said. He wanted to go back to practice! To increase his strength! No matter whether it was meditation or singing, he still had a lot of work to do. This small moment of relaxation was enough. He couldn’t relax just because he found a way to level up quickly.

Si Sheng didn’t want to but he still nodded. “Yes, this servant will take you down.”

“Teleport me directly,” Xu Sili ordered. “I don’t want to walk. It will waste my time.”

Si Sheng was surprised. Waste of time…

It was a waste of time to be with him?

“Si Sheng?”

Perhaps he had been silent for too long but the young man called out to him again with some doubts.

Si Sheng pursed his lips and replied in a deep voice, “Yes.”

Then Xu Sili was hugged in his arms and moved through the Imperial City. They had walked for hours to get to this square but now they just teleported a few times and returned to the palace gate.

Xu Sili stared at the towering palace gates not far away and felt some shock.

Fu*k, this skill… was really awesome!

He couldn’t help feeling Si Sheng’s abnormality again. At the same time, he was glad that he had turned Si Sheng into his puppet. He couldn’t match such a boss-level powerhouse at all.

Yet after waiting for a while, Xu Sili noticed Si Sheng standing still and glanced back strangely. They were currently standing under a big tree. The shadows obscured them so he couldn’t see Si Sheng’s state at all. Why didn’t this person move?

“Are you running out of magic power and want to recover?” Xu Sili wondered.

He didn’t get an immediate answer.

Due to turning his head, his cheek touched the man’s chin.

He heard the breathing of the man behind him, as if it had become heavier. He blinked and wanted to continue to inquire, only to hear the man softly respond, “Yes.”

Xu Sili turned his head back and nodded. It seemed this skill consumed a lot and wasn’t very sustainable.

“Then should we walk in?”

It wasn’t good to be held like this all the time. If the guards saw it… too embarrassing!

Si Sheng didn’t move.

Just as Xu Sili was going to break free, the arms around him tightened again. His vision blurred and he found himself in the corridor in front of his bedroom.

The guards protecting the palace were in the distance and the man behind him had already let go and retreated in an orderly manner.

The warm, stove-like source disappeared and the cold wind at night made Xu Sili feel a bit chilly. Was the magic restored so teleportation could be used again?

He looked back at Si Sheng. The man had no expression. He was still cold but the gray-blue eyes seemed much brighter than usual. Right now, he was watching Xu Sili quietly.

Xu Sili was a bit uncomfortable being watched by this person and couldn’t help looking away. “Then I’m going in. You should also go back and rest.”

“Your Majesty.”

As a result, he had just stepped forward when the man’s voice suddenly rang out, calling him.

Xu Sili looked back again.

Under the moonlight, the man’s blond hair was slightly blown by the night wind. His deep eyes were like a whirlpool in the deep sea, full of a heart-shaking force.

His heart throbbed.

Xu Sili frowned slightly. He restrained the strange mood in his heart and asked, “What is it?”

Si Sheng held up the blue stone on his chest and stared at the young man with gray-blue eyes. He was unwilling to let go of the slightest change in expression on the young man’s face.

“You, why… did you want to give me a present?” Si Sheng asked softly.

Huh? What type of question was this?

Xu Sili had some doubts. Why give a gift… he just bought it because he wanted to. Didn’t he recharge money every day to buy Si Sheng things?

Wait, f*ck!

Xu Sili finally understood the question. This Si Sheng wasn’t the miserable slave of his family! Why did he give Si Sheng something again? In addition, he placed it around Si Sheng’s neck personally…

How could he do this?

Xu Sili’s eyes flickered before his face became cold.

“You don’t want it? Then give it back to me.” He reached out to snatch the necklace back.

Si Sheng didn’t move. The blue pendant was held in his hand. Since he didn’t dodge, Xu Sili easily grabbed the pendant.

A cold touch came and Xu Sili froze in place, speechless. Why wasn’t this guy hiding?

Xu Sili stared at Si Sheng while Si Sheng maintained his original action. Since Xu Sili had grabbed the necklace and pulled, he was forced to lean over slightly. The two people were close and their breathing was entangled together.

The man stared down at him…

It was a bit pitiful.

Xu Sili pursed his lips. This guy… what was going on?

The young man’s eyes flickered before he finally let out a light tsk.

He returned the blue pendant to Si Sheng and coldly snorted. “I promise… the things I sent out have no reason to come back! As for why… This emperor wanted to give it. Do I still need a reason?”

He finished speaking and stopped looking at Si Sheng. He turned and strode toward the bedroom.

Fu*k, he almost let it slip!

Xu Sili didn’t look back until he heard the sound of the door closing behind him. Then he stood still, glancing back at the closed door before letting out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he slipped away quickly…

That Si Sheng was so smart that he was able to easily see through Xu Sili. But… what was with his eyes just now? It was just a necklace. Why did he have to show that puppy-like look?

Si Sheng stood in place. It wasn’t until the young man’s figure disappeared into the bedroom and could no longer be seen that he silently retracted his gaze.

His eyes fell on the blue stone on his chest. He held up the blue stone and held it tightly in his hand.

There was no mistake, he was Lord God…

There was… no mistake. Absolutely not.

Si Sheng had such faith as his figure flashed away and disappeared into the moonlight.

The night calmed down again.

***

As the first ray of sunlight entered through the window, Xu Sili slowly opened his eyes. He had meditated all night and his magic was fully restored.

This meditation was different from what he previously sensed. Perhaps it was due to the increase in mental power but his absorption of the sound elements seemed to increase.

In addition, the experience value of one night of meditation changed from 34 to 109. Two wooden houses were also built in Mercenary Town last night and his experience bar moved again.

[Distance to level up: 476/800]

There wasn’t the previous coolness of leapfrogging levels by killing monsters but there was a type of stable happiness.

Xu Sili thought of this and started to get up to wash. He would go to the Elementalist Academy today to see how well Su Lin’s Black Valley had grown.

He had just come to the dining room when he saw a familiar figure had arrived first and he couldn’t help pausing.
