Chapter 812 - 15.31
"D—Does that mean… I will never be able to live with Bai Gege? Bai Gege will leave me?!"
"He will leave you eventually. But worry not, I have something to make sure that you can start cultivating your body."
Han Shun saw the smirk on the golden-black robe man. He had a bad feeling about this. But at the same time, this mysterious man showed him how powerful he was by offering Han Shun a marble that boosted his physical strength to an unimaginable level, so he could easily beat General Fei.
Han Shun hesitated for a moment, and he asked, "Will there be a side effect if I take your power again?"
"Heh, what a wise child you are," the golden-black robe man scoffed. "There is no side effect of consuming the marbles that I gave to you. But you will have a continuous longing feeling for your Bai Gege. Gradually, you will be consumed by it, and you will never want to be separated with your Bai Gege."
The golden-black robe man stared at Han Shun seriously. He didn't need to sugarcoat anything because he knew the outcome from this young man.
They were all predictable. His souls were basically him in various forms, so he knew them very well.
Han Shun was thinking for a second, and he nodded in agreement, "I don't want to be separated with Bai Gege! So it doesn't matter if it's just that kind of side effect!"
Han Shun thought the side effect wasn't really dangerous because he was already very sticky to Bai Gege. So he accepted the said side effect willingly, and the black-golden robe man snapped his finger.
Another marble was summoned in front of Han Shun, and Han Shun could read the name on the marble as well.
Zhou Junze - Yang Ronghui.
'If the previous one is from Saint Michael, this one is from these two guys, it seems….' Han Shun thought. But he didn't really take a second look and opened his mouth to swallow the marble.
He closed his eyes for a moment and opened his eyes when he felt his body was surrounded by great energy that he couldn't describe. The energy was so strong that Han Shun started to wince in pain.
"Don't worry about the pain. I will give you the best spiritual root one could ever have. You don't need that five elements of the spiritual root. You will have mine instead."
"You will have the root of a god,' the black-golden robe man said.
He didn't let Han Shun ask more questions and threw the young man out of the realm.
Han Ye looked at the portal that had just closed. He had a nostalgic feeling in his heart. He didn't want to call that cheating slut bastard with this name, but… he started to get sentimental when he saw how pure Han Shun was.
"That kid is your first love, isn't it, Wife?" Han Ye said. "It's not me. It's that kid."
**
Han Shun opened his eyes when the sunlight from the window hit his face. He got up from his bed and checked whether something was different after he swallowed the second marble from that mysterious man in a black-golden robe.
He didn't feel any different than before, but he did feel more vigorous.
Of course, the only one who could determine whether he had changed or not was Bai Gege.
So he stormed out of his room and searched for Bai Gege frantically, "Bai Gege! Bai Gege!"
…
He checked the courtyard and didn't find his Bai Gege anywhere. He thought Bai Gege was in the teashop.
So Han Shun slid the teashop door open and called Bai Shijue's name loudly, "Bai Gege! Where are you?!"
…
He also couldn't find Bai Gege in the teashop.
Han Shun started to worry. It was very rare for Bai Gege to leave his residence or teashop. Even if he did, he would usually take Han Shun with him, or at least tell Han Shun that he would find something in the city square.
Han Shun's anxious thoughts started to grow, and he started formulating a theory that scared him the most.
"Where is Bai Gege?"
"Did he… did he leave me because I can't cultivate? Did he leave me because I'm not worth his time?"
"Did he leave me last night and return to heaven?"
"No, no, Bai Gege isn't that cruel. He will wait for me, right?"
…
"Right?"
…
Han Shun tried to think positively because the more he let this anxiety consume him, the more he felt his world was breaking slowly.
Han Shun lived for Bai Gege. Before he met Bai Gege, he was basically a street kid doomed to die in one or two years.
But Bai Gege gave him life, and he clung to that life to keep going every day.
Han Shun slumped on the ground. He clenched his fist as he kept thinking that he had been abandoned by Bai Gege.
"Gege, did you really abandon me?" Han Shun asked. But of course, there was nobody to answer his question. Because Bai Gege wasn't here.
Han Shun smiled bitterly, "Ah, I understand. Bai Gege must've realized that I have no spiritual root. I have no way to train myself. That's why he left me when I was sleeping, so he wouldn't be disturbed."
Han Shun felt that his world was now shattering right in front of his eyes. There was nothing he could do right now, and he didn't plan to do anything as well.
Since Bai Gege had abandoned him, then he should just abandon this world as well. He only lived because Bai Gege wanted him to live.
"Bai Gege…"
Han Shun's body trembled out of fear and desperation. He bit his lower lip, trying to harden his own heart. So he would be able to grab the knife in the kitchen and kill himself.
"Bai Gege…"
"Han Shun? Why are you here? What's wrong?"
