Chapter 1407: Chapter 1405: Calamity Strikes (20)
The road is long and arduous, but only a determined will can move forward courageously.
In response to the pondering Fu Qian, who had finally shown so understanding after repeated efforts, Riet maintained an extrely serious expression, trying not to reveal any weakness or hesitation.
Unfortunately, her overly intense heartbeat was audible in the silence, even to the ordinarily composed Fu Qian.
Yet, he seed not to have developed any contempt due to this; instead, he felt that unwavering determination even more deeply.
“Interesting! I can only say that even Veil doesn’t seem to truly understand her sister…”
When Fu Qian spoke again, his gaze finally changed, giving a slight nod.
In the anti, using the person whom the young lady cared about the most as endorsent for his approval, without giving any indication of it, was essential.
“If you fuel your persistence to its utmost, perhaps we can truly surprise her.”
For the first ti since their acquaintance, and even for the first ti since just now, Venerable Fu gave Riet a comndation.
…
“What is the price I need to pay…?”
It is said that when most people finally have what they have been striving for in life placed in front of them, their first reaction is often hesitation.
It certainly seed that way.
Having finally gained recognition, Riet could even hear her heart beating more fiercely. However, instead of imdiately asking about the matter of faith, she rembered sothing, looking at Fu Qian with a sowhat complex expression.
Oh?
Fu Qian squinted his eyes and scrutinized Riet up and down.
In this situation, that kind of gaze undoubtedly had significant psychological penetration.
Even if she seed to have made a firm decision, goosebumps appeared wherever his gaze rested on Riet.
However, determination was not made in vain. In the end, she t the scrutiny courageously.
“It’s very simple, just don’t do what you did earlier.”
However, the condition the other party finally proposed at that mont made it instantly challenging for her to remain firm, sounding almost like her brain was deprived of oxygen.
“What I did earlier… Do you an…”
“Of course, it’s not just about disturbing people in the middle of the night; as an adult, you must learn to respect others’ goodwill.”
Fu Qian wore a aningful expression, one that appeared elder-like.
“Even if that goodwill may add to your suffering, it is her goodwill, her freedom.”
“You may reject it but have no right to be angry.”
…
“It’s a bit abstract, you can rember it and understand it slowly. Specifically regarding today’s situation, you should not disturb others’ sleep, or, under re assumptions, leave any embarrassnt unaddressed, and also… wear your sister’s clothes without permission.”
Fu Qian gestured with his chin toward Riet.
For her height, the nightgown was clearly a bit too long, and there was even one she had just changed out of visible in the room.
“I hope before you went to your sister’s room, you didn’t visit other places based on so self-assured thoughts.”
…
The room returned to silence, and from Riet’s face turning pale and then blue, Fu Qian confird that his “hope” had evidently fallen through.
In this situation, although he wasn’t familiar with the genre of complex love, crafting a lodramatic plot was sothing Fu Qian could easily do—
After the Archipelago incident, Riet, who was saved by her sister again, felt ashad of her own actions on one hand, and on the other, suspected that her sister had made a significant sacrifice for it, possibly remaining deceived by others.
In the dream she orchestrated, while residing at her family ho once more, she decided to use herself as bait to reveal her true colors.
As for the nightgown, perhaps she thought it added an effect?
It was just unfortunate that when she was ready and reached her target, the room was already empty, prompting her to visit her sister instead.
And during their subsequent conversation, due to the overly stimulating topic, she temporarily forgot her original intention.
Only after entering a new stage did she recall her original intention with sowhat complex emotions.
Of course, regardless of whether there were any discrepancies, Fu Qian had no interest in confirming them.
The reason he was willing to talk so much was simply that he was just a little short of total control over the dream in front of him.
Fortunately, the current impact was already sufficient.
“Are you ready?”
In the next mont, he made a gesture.
…
Is this the next step? Are those truly the conditions?
The phantasmal eyes above Riet’s head flickered even more than before, clearly indicating a significant impact on her worldview.
More importantly, she did not dare to waste Venerable Fu’s ti.
“Understood, please proceed.”
Taking a deep breath again, she forcibly cleared all distracting thoughts, her gaze resolute.
And almost simultaneously, a palm opened before her eyes.
A rough and simple yet solemn blood-red symbol was slowly erging in the palm.
Just a glance almost provided an undeniable sense of oppression.
“Ancient Deities, Abandonnt King, this is His emblem.”
At this mont, Fu Qian’s solemn proclamation resounded, followed by a rhythmic repetition of the esteed na.
In fact, the emblem in the palm was the reason he had increased his control over the dream just now.
Earlier, all the improvisations, even making such changes, were not easy.
“Understood, I need to beco His follower, remain firm as you ntioned just now, and thus beseech rcy and grace?”
Despite listening and rembering, Riet was unafraid, demonstrating her mory and comprehension.
“No… do not ask for rcy. It’s evident that your understanding of the concept of faith has been sowhat tainted by the Night Watchman.”
Unfortunately, her statent did not receive praise, and Fu Qian imdiately sighed and shook his head.
“Your god does not love you; even a malevolent Demon does not hate you either. He rely needs your suffering and death.”
“What you need to believe in is solely contained in what I just said; He is the God presiding over Calamity, exalted and pure… and He shall bestow this will.”
…
Clearly, what Fu Qian ntioned was sowhat beyond the syllabus, causing Riet to fall into contemplation for a mont.
And Fu Qian showed remarkable patience, even returning to his seat.
The claim of pure faith was naturally his offhand fabrication.
If he truly intended to take the path of spiritual contamination and escape through faith symbols in the real world, it was naturally crucial to maintain utmost purity and prevent any anthropomorphic interference.
“I seem to understand a little.”
And Riet, too, did not disappoint, showing so comprehension after a not-too-long silence.
“Thank you for your guidance. I have rembered everything you said just now, and I will not slack off afterward.”
“Is that so?”
Regarding this determination, Fu Qian remained indifferent.
“Then draw an emblem for to see first.”
…
Finding it sowhat unclear why she was being tested on such a simple matter, Riet conducted herself honestly nonetheless.
Quickly finding a piece of paper, she cautiously drew a design.
Indeed.
And even before it was handed over for review, Fu Qian heaved a long sigh inwardly—the pattern on the paper bore no resemblance to the emblem of the Abandonnt King.
The awakening degree of the higher existence, Alarakir, was likely more profound than Brother Interlocutor imagined.
