Becoming God of a Dystopian World

Chapter 192 - You Are, I Am

"Yes."

Mo Anna as always a woman of few words replied with a simple yes but even that was enough to make Zhao Luo smile unconditionally.

As she came to stand next to him, Zhao Luo glanced at his left where she was and lowered his gaze slowly.

'Grab.'

Zhao Luo sneakily grabbed her right hand causing Mo Anna to be embarrassed since his action was so sudden.

"Ahem."

Zhao Luo cleared his throat.

This sound was in no way, a call of desperation instead it was Zhao Luo showing his victory.

Mo Anna only blushed as she focused on the fight happening on the stages in front of them.

"SHAMELESS~"

Zhao Luo heard Xiao Yu's voice, from his right.

'Who is he cursing at?'

Zhao Luo wondered before turning his head to look at him.

Xiao Yu was looking at Zhao Luo with his head crooked towards him and Mo Anna.

"Do they think they are on a date?"

Xiao Yu mumbled just loud enough so that Zhao Luo could hear it.

"Loser and Jealous... Wow, Si Chen is doing pretty good."

Zhao Luo said while looking at Xiao Yu for a moment and then turned his head towards the stage, where Si Chen was fighting the seventh-ranked disciple of the nine hundred.

Coincidentally following the same line of sight where he was looking, far away, on the other side of the Colosseum, Zhao Luo found two big eyes staring at him.

'Why is the sect leader smirking at me?'

Zhao Luo thought for a second before realizing what was happening.

-

A few minutes earlier.

Xin Wang was calmly watching the hundred disciples who had passed the Open Battle, challenging the disciple from the nine hundred rankings without backing down at all.

'Good to see how eager they are.'

Xin Wang thought but right when he had such a thought something happened that caused him to lose his calm demeanor.

"oho as expected. They both are good seeds." 

Xin Wang said loudly with an excited face while exchanging glances with his two elders.

The reason behind the sudden change in his expression was because both Zhao Luo and Xiao Yu had qualified.

'Sigh, he is a good kid. If only he can win against the other successor candidates too, then I would marry off my little angel to him...'

Xin Wang started imagining the upcoming future. The future he was thinking of was something that he considered as his ideal plan. But then a realization hit him and blew his momentary imagination away.

'If only he wasn't gay.'

Xin Wang sighed as he started sulking.

Still, his eyes were on Zhao Luo looking forward to his performance.

While many suspicious things related to Zhao Luo had come out but Xin Wang didn't give it a second thought.

• From Senior Cutie's announcement regarding Zhao Luo and Mo Anna to,

• Zhao Luo fighting for her but Xin Wang still didn't doubt him.

[He couldn't have lied to me ]

Xin Wang had this thought in his mind.

Then right after the Open Battle had ended, there was another suspicious activity as,

• he had seen a small interaction of Zhao Luo and Mo Anna, the Sect Leader had only smiled at Zhao Luo since at that time he was only thinking about Zhao Luo's earlier performance.

'But what is this rascal doing now?'

Xin Wang cursed at Zhao Luo as he glared at him but Zhao Luo was busy while trying to grab Mo Anna's hand.

From some corner of his mind, three different scenarios which he had been absolutely declining, came forward.

Xin Wang connected all the dots and for the first time in his life, he felt something that he had never experienced before.

The feeling of getting fooled.

'Should I commend him or punish him?'

Xin Wang thought as he glared at Zhao Luo more intensely.

-

Zhao Luo could see the Sect Leader glaring at him while moving his lips slowly.

Zhao Luo mumbled as he moved his lips according to how Xin Wang was moving them.

"I am gay!"

Zhao Luo was confused even after realizing that the Sect leader was glaring at him.

'He is gay?'

'Then how did he have Yan?'

For a moment, Zhao Luo was sidetracked and thought,

'Is he confessing to me?'

'Maybe he was so impressed by me that he wanted to open up to me.'

Zhao Luo nodded at the Sect Leader and slowly raised his fist.

On the other side, the Sect Leader was raising one of his eyebrows.

'What is this fool doing?'

Xin Wang wondered but only found Zhao Luo opening up his thumb, that is, showing Xin Wang a thumbs up.

"Everything's okay. Leader, I won't tell anyone."

Zhao Luo relayed his stand to the leader while winking at him.

'That should be okay.'

Zhao Luo wondered but still found Xin Wang staring at him.

If before he was glaring at him for some reason, then now there was a murderous look in his eyes.

Xin Wang again slowly opened his mouth.

"You Are GAY!"

"You are gay?"

Zhao Luo and Xin Wang kept on sending soundless messages to each other.

Obviously, Zhao Luo was on the replying end and Xin Wang was being driven to insanity by Zhao Luo's answer.

But then Xin Wang shifted his gaze towards Zhao Luo's left hand, with which he was holding Mo Anna's hand.

'Ahh.'

Zhao Luo trembled for an instant.

His grip around Mo Anna's hand loosened and he gaped with wide eyes while looking in the Sect Leader's direction.

Zhao Luo had completely forgotten about what he had blurted out in the jade dragon, golden palace of the Sect Leader.

'I called him gay. Also, while my cover was blown away by myself.'

Zhao Luo looked down thought while wondering about the consequences.

He looked back up and found a deep mysterious smile on the face of the Sect Leader.

Before his hand could part away from Mo Anna's hand, Mo Anna locked her fingers with his while looking away like the shy type she was.

'Now is not the time...'

Zhao Luo thought but couldn't bear to push her away.

Zhao Luo felt nothing more than to cry for now.
