Chapter 168 On the Way Home

  I and Xiāo Yǎ walked into the big ship, my room! Her entourage immediately protected the surroundings! Looking at that action, it's really professional! It seems that the power comparison between me and the Vatican is much worse than I imagined! With this depressing mood, I and Xiāo Yǎ began our final farewell words!

  "Brother! I don't want to leave you!" Xianya threw herself into my arms again, saying sorrowfully.

  "I don't want to either!" The poor Taoist sighed and said: "Isn't this unavoidable? Otherwise, I'll take you away?"

  "Leave!" Xianya said: "I can't implicate you!"

  "Haha!" I'm just talking nonsense! If I really dared to do it, I'd probably not even be able to get on the boat, and would have to call those fierce guys from outside to take care of me!

  "Brother is teasing Xianya again!" Xianya realized she had been deceived and said with a bit of annoyance.

  "Alright! I was wrong! However, I still say that in three years, after three years, I will definitely come to pick you up!" The poor Taoist solemnly guaranteed.

  "Ah! I believe you!" Xianya said, lifting her head, stretching out her hand to the back of her neck, and taking out the summoning token she had always worn on her body. She handed it to me, saying: "I have nothing else on me, only this for you! When you think of me in the future, just take a look at it!"

  "But!" I hesitated, after all, it was the only thing left by her mother! I was about to decline.

  "Never mind!" Xianya knew what I was going to say and stopped me in advance: "Mom has passed away, now I only think of you! Please, take it, okay?"

  Looking at Xianya's tearful expression! Can I still decline? Had no choice but to take it over and say: "I will protect it just like my own life!"

  "Waaaah!" Xianya suddenly threw herself into my arms and burst out crying!

  Alas! A child of ten or so, who suddenly can't see all his relatives and can only survive alone in an unfamiliar environment, how terrifying and lonely it is! Especially Xianya, who has experienced it once, deeply felt that pain! She came to my house, but it wasn't until half a year later that she gradually opened up! I was so annoyed by her crying that just as I was about to take her away regardless of everything! Xianya suddenly left my arms, wiped her face and said: "This is the last time I cry!"

  "Right! We must both be strong! It's nothing to worry about, think back when I was sent to Dolores, weren't we just the two of us?" The poor Taoist said with a relieved tone.

  "Alright! Don't let me delay your journey, take care brother!" Xian Ya said as she finished speaking, lightly touched my mouth and then turned around to run out.

  "Has the little guy grown up?" The poor Taoist muttered to himself with a mixture of tears and laughter.

  "Take care of yourself too!" I shouted to Xianya, who was still standing on the dock, as I stood on the moving deck of the big ship! Then, I silently vowed in my heart: 'I, Hu Han San, will return!'

  After this farewell, my mental state feels much more open! It seems to be very consistent with the Buddhist concept of sudden enlightenment! The cultivation of my heart has made some progress! Although it hasn't actually increased my strength, it will be extremely helpful for me to resist the demon in my heart when I increase my power in the future!

  We were welcomed even more warmly when we came to Kart again! The reason is unknown! What made me feel a little vigilant was that the so-called Violet Three Sisters, Emily, Charlotte, and Camille, these princesses always deliberately approached me at the banquet! It seems to be suspicious of having an ulterior motive! And it seems to have been tacitly approved or even instructed by King Kart!

  Because the soldiers were severely seasick, we spent a whole ten days recuperating in Karte before setting out! And at the farewell banquet on the eve of our departure, King Karte finally revealed the mystery and hinted to my father: "My several daughters are all grown up, but still no one wants them! I think they all have a good impression of your son!"

  His father was stunned at the time, and he knew that his fighting brain was not clever about political things. Just as he didn't know how to respond, the king who had long understood his father's character hurriedly stepped forward to resolve the situation: "The so-called Violet Three Sisters princesses must have someone they want? I think it's because there are too many suitors coming to the door, and you're dazzled by the choices. If you marry them off to a distant Han country, how will you deal with those princes from various countries who come knocking on your door?"

  "Haha!" King Carter laughed: "Fortunately I have three, one less is nothing!"

  "You're nothing!" Our king said: "I do have a say, not to mention that she's almost the saint's chosen one, even if the saint doesn't want her, I still have two more princesses ready for him to choose from!"

  "Your princess has a severe violent tendency and is too young, where is my beautiful daughter? Ao Tian, you can't harm your son!" King Karte exclaimed!

  "Ah! This ah!" My father said in a low voice: "The child is too young, let's talk about it later, who knows, one day he'll be able to eat everything?"

  "Haha!" Both kings laughed and said: "Don't dream about it, our princess can't be your son's concubine!"

  What a close call! This matter has barely passed. I'm still so young and already have someone trying to pull me down, it seems that being famous isn't a good thing after all!

  Then it's time to set off! The scene on the road is still miserable, and there seem to be more corpses of slaves. Looking at this, I, Pu Zhong, am filled with rage and think to myself: One day, I will lead a great army to destroy Carte!

  At the last stop before returning to our country, near the border of Dahen and Kartet, we were treated by the Snakebite Legion. I finally met the last of the four great generals on the mainland, General Feng Xius!

  This old guy is wearing a pure black magic robe, but he looks like he's only in his thirties! He's dressed up to look handsome and elegant, just like a refined gentleman! But everyone knows how venomous this snake is! He deliberately hosted a banquet to entertain us, but the real purpose is actually because of Kuri, as dark system mages are really rare nowadays. Suddenly, a powerful character who can defeat the Sword Saint appears out of nowhere, and he naturally has great interest in him!

  He was so infatuated with Cate that he barely exchanged a few pleasantries with the king and my father at the banquet, before lavishing all his attention on her! His arrogance naturally annoyed us, but we couldn't very well make a scene due to protocol and the occasion. All we could do was drink in silence! Luckily, one of his deputies was quite skilled at drinking games and soon started competing with my fuming father! It's always like this with military men - things that can't be settled on the battlefield are usually decided over drinks! The two wine-barrel-sized men really did manage to down a whole cask of top-grade port after all, before collapsing together on the floor! The referee declared it a draw and had them carried off! I was puzzled as to why the people rushing to carry my father were all Cate's men, but then his attendants took over and I didn't pursue it further.

  After a series of conversations, Krie thoroughly conquered General Feng Xiu with his vast knowledge! He almost worshipped Krie to the point of wanting to become his apprentice! However, Krie refused. He spoke to Feng Xiu in a meaningful tone: "Dark magic also originates from faith in God, whether it's the founding god of light or the dark king who governs darkness, they both protect and care for the weak living beings, don't go too far down the twisted path of crazily increasing power, you'll find that it's a one-way road to destruction!"

  After parting with them, I asked Keli about Feng*xiu's situation. Keli said: "He is a madman, an out-and-out madman! However, I also have to admit that he is a genius-level madman!"

  "Why?" asked the poor Taoist curiously!

  "Some of his ideas are really brilliant!" Keli praised: "But his means are also really terrible! Have you seen his face? What do you think?"

  "Although he's handsome, there's a hint of evil in him. He looks young, but feels completely insincere, like a painting that's been drawn on!" The poor Taoist replied seriously!

  "Not bad, you're absolutely right! His age wasn't mentioned, but I can sense from his soul that he's not under 100 years old!" Kried exclaimed.

  "Really? So big?" The poor Taoist asked curiously: "I thought it was only 70 or 80!"

  "His body and soul don't match, that's why you didn't recognize him, I suspect he forcibly took over this body! And it was more than 40 years ago! The age of this body is indeed consistent with what you said!" Kried exclaimed.

  "Not bad! My intelligence shows that he was a prodigal son when he was young, and after losing his family's property in the casino, he suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he had become an apprentice of dark magic! So, it turns out that someone took over his body?" The poor Taoist laughed: "This kind of thing is not under our jurisdiction, let's poke at the church later! Hehe, that will be fun!"

  "Not bad! But we don't have any evidence, do we?" Klie said: "With his current status, even the Vatican can't just arrest him casually, right?"

  "Haha! I have a way!" The poor Taoist smiled and asked, "By the way, why did he become so young?"

  "This is why I said he's a madman even if he's a genius!" Kuri exclaimed: "He has transformed himself into a quasi-demonic creature - a vampire! He sustains his appearance and life by feeding on blood, and also enhances his powers! Moreover, I can see that he's the highest level of vampire, a terrifying species capable of absorbing souls!"

  "Why didn't the church discover him?" Poor Tao asked curiously!

  "At this point, he is no longer something that an ordinary bishop can see through! Moreover, with his dark mage identity as cover, even if someone knows that the dark aura on him is too strange, no one will investigate further!" Kried said.

  "Haha! That's fun!" The poor Tao said to Keli: "I guess his strength is close to that of a great demon master now?"

  "It's already done, and it's the best kind!" Keli said: "Now it's time for me to collect him, and I have to make some moves too!"

  "The more powerful the better! Otherwise, how can the Vatican have trouble?" The poor Taoist said with a sly smile.

  Urgent purchase of monthly ticket! Still a few left! Been surpassed by others, so embarrassing to say oh!
