Capítulo 917: Chapter 831: If I Do Not Enter Hell, Who Will?
“Alright, I’m heading back first.”
In the incredibly oppressive and heavy atmosphere, Chafne, as if completing an ordinary task, uttered this sentence after dealing with Mordo.
With footsteps still clearly audible, Chafne walked back to Shane’s side, leaned forward slightly, and murmured softly with a chuckle in his ear.
“You should come back quickly too, don’t waste too much time, okay?”
After speaking, Chafne seemed to have cheered up and slowly walked back to the Beizut Family home.
Only Shane was left there, rubbing his ear and muttering a sentence.
“What a witch.”
This sentence, in the pin-drop silence of the scene, was quite clear.
Yet no one commented on it.
They just watched Chafne walk back to the Beizut Family home without turning her head, wanting to shout at her numerous times, to stop her, to keep her from leaving their sight.
But they couldn’t.
Because Chafne’s sentences still lingered in their ears.
“How those irrelevant to my life feel doesn’t matter to me at all.”
“I don’t care whether you live or die, nor do I care about what you want to do. Even if you keep saying you admire me, want to see me, and did all these things for that reason, I would still think that’s your business, not mine.”
“In contrast, how my brother-in-law, who is like an adversary to me, feels is what I care about.”
These words all told them that Shane was absolutely right.
“Chafne actually has no intention of seeing you and has never paid any attention to you.”
This is reality.
The cruelest reality.
A reality that everyone knows but does not want to admit.
And the proof is that from the moment she appeared, Chafne never looked at them even once.
As if they didn’t exist at all.
“Uh-uh…”
Soon, a suppressed sobbing sound arose.
It triggered a chain reaction, causing those of either noble status or strong ability to either go pale or shed tears uncontrollably.
Not long after, many people silently left.
Misji also looked longingly in the direction Chafne left, then came to Mordo’s side, whispered an instruction to the nearby knight, and left silently.
Joseph seemed as if he cut off his feelings and limped away, causing his disciples to follow him in a hurry.
Nobu appeared unwilling, his fists clenched tightly, but in the end, he could only leave with his beastman warriors, filled with gloom and despair.
“Clatter… Clatter…”
On the plaza in front of the Beizut Family’s mansion, the dense sound of wheels echoed, causing the gathered vehicles and convoys to leave one after another.
People who didn’t make an appearance but observed everything from the shadows spoke with wistful regret.
“Let’s go.”
“Today’s conflict passed without danger.”
“I never thought Enchanting Demon Xiefuni would be willing to make an appearance.”
“But many would rather she didn’t show up, right?”
“Indeed.”
“After all, this way, people’s dreams are shattered.”
“It’s called a dream; even if it doesn’t shatter, it will eventually end.”
“The most beautiful in the Three Realms, maybe no one deserves her?”
“Nonsense, someone who has lived for tens of thousands of years and experienced countless eras, the Enchanting Demon never took a liking to anyone. How could she suddenly fancy someone in our era?”
“Let’s go. She is a woman none of us can have.”
“Let’s go home and drink heavily.”
Thus, everyone quietly left.
The last one remaining was Yule.
The Pope of the Temple just stood there, staring dully in the direction of the Beizut Family, his aged eyes filled with emotions that were difficult for others to decipher.
Shane thought for a moment, then decided to step forward and approach him.
Yet before Shane could speak, Yule spoke first.
“Actually, I knew long ago it was just wishful thinking.” Yule said in a voice filled with loneliness, “Compared to the lifetime of tens of thousands of years of that Highness, I’m just an old man who has lived for a mere century. Even when I stumbled upon that Highness over twenty years ago, I was already old. How could anything happen between us?”
Upon hearing this, Shane paused for a moment, then said faintly, “But you still wanted to see her, right?”
“Yes.” Yule showed a gentle and kind smile, almost as if he were talking to someone who wasn’t there, murmuring, “I dedicated my life to the gods, thinking I could never have romantic feelings like a normal person until she appeared.”
She allowed Yule to have experiences like a normal person.
Even if that experience wasn’t great, at least Yule obtained something he thought was unreachable.
Therefore…
“I am truly grateful to that Highness.”
After leaving behind these words, Yule then turned and left.
But that back, it looked much older than before.
Shane watched Yule’s departure, feeling deeply moved.
Not just him, You Lin felt the same.
“I don’t understand, even after Chafne treats them this way, why do they not harbor any resentment but instead look lost, as if they’ve lost their ideals.”
You Lin came to Shane’s side and mumbled like this.
Shane shook his head.
“Maybe it’s because, in their minds, Chafne is too perfect?”
But in reality, Chafne might have a lot to do with “beauty,” but not a bit with “goodness.”
That woman saw too many desires from others, too much cheap love, so she has some contempt for the world.
Yet at the same time, she lived very thoroughly.
No interest means no interest; she would never cater to those she has no interest in just for her own purposes.
The world is indeed infatuated with her, adores her, loves her, is obsessed with her, but she has never relied on this to gain anything from them.
The boundaries in her heart are quite clear, she would never abuse others’ minds, nor open her own heart lightly to give others hope.
Inside, there might be some influence from the Ripple Heart Demon that makes Chafne cautious about easily opening up to others, but more of it is Chafne’s own principles she set for herself.
Today, Chafne’s words and actions were extremely cold, cold enough to shatter all the dreams people cherished in their hearts, but isn’t this also a form of kindness?
She told everyone directly that she’s not interested, so they shouldn’t waste their time on her.
In this way, those people might be able to break free from their morbid infatuation with Chafne and truly live the life they should, achieving the life they deserve.
For example, Gray, if he had realized this earlier, he wouldn’t have needed to abandon so much, leave his family, leave his nation, and waste over twenty years in Enchanting Demon City; he could have traveled the world with Hart long ago.
This was his most genuine, original wish, wasn’t it?
Today, these people are the same; for Chafne, they must have abandoned something, sacrificed something.
And in the future, perhaps they will, like Gray, find the life they should have.
This is the release Chafne gives them.
“Is that so?”
You Lin nodded in a half-understanding manner.
Though she’s become much smarter after Human Transformation, she’s ultimately still a dragon; a lot of detailed human emotions need time for her to grasp.
Of course, this isn’t important.
What’s important…
“So in the master’s heart, is Sister Xiefuni very precious?”
You Lin asked curiously.
Shane first caught his breath, then rolled his eyes.
“Precious?” Shane said disdainfully, “I think it’s quite good that she’s not a demon.”
Leaving those words, Shane also turned around and went back to the mansion.
You Lin watched Shane like this and suddenly laughed.
“So, Sister Xiefuni would look at the master in a different light.”
Longlong still had a lot to learn, but Longlong had already gained insight.
But Longlong wouldn’t say it.
Because…
“You Lin’s silly master, you flirt with so many sisters; let’s see how you handle it in the future.”
You Lin made a face at Shane.
Immediately, You Lin transformed into a Black Dragon, appearing in the square, directly lying down here, beginning to nap.
Today’s events told You Lin that this home needs her to guard it.
Thus, You Lin simply stayed in the square, letting everyone coming to see the Black Dragon blocking the Beizut Family’s front door at the first sight.
In this way, insignificant cowards won’t come, right?
With this idea, You Lin fell into a deep sleep.
Completely unaware that on a rooftop in the distant, a graceful figure was standing there.
“Seems like there’s no need for me to make an appearance now.”
Luoqi smiled gently, then recalled how Chafne just whispered intimately in Shane’s ear, and her smile faded.
“Even dares to flirt with Enchanting Demons, you bold and outrageous man, do you really think you can do anything just because you’re a Hero?”
Luoqi gritted her teeth in annoyance, and started plotting in her heart.
Plotting what?
Naturally, planning to give Shane a lesson.
…
Meanwhile, after dealing with family’s inquiries, Shane returned to his room.
“I have to say, today I must talk to you seriously…”
Shane forcefully pushed open the door, wanting to say something fiercely, but for some reason, his voice gradually weakened.
“Back already?”
Chafne was lying on the bed, somehow back to the state she was when Shane left, using only a piece of clothing to cover her fiery figure, her shoulders, thighs, arms, and entire back were bare as she smiled and beckoned Shane.
“Shall we continue?”
Chafne, who had previously wanted to escape when Shane turned beastly, was now actively seducing.
Shane was silent for a moment.
Then, he decisively closed the door.
“If I don’t go to Hell, who will go to Hell?”
Shane boldly headed towards the bed.
