Gentle, sweet... This sweetness, so different from the icy demeanor that makes you feel cold even when you get close, is something that belongs only to Jiang Cheng.
This directly led to the most unexpected thing—the jealousy of the crowd.
As long as she walks down the street, any type of pose she adopts has the charm to turn men's heads.
Jiang Cheng, being the one who wholeheartedly wanted to express himself, was probably unable to understand it smoothly. However, from the perspective of other men, the fact that the beautiful girl was in a relationship with an ordinary man caused an indescribable unease among onlookers.
—I can also become lovers and get married to this girl or that girl.
It can arouse such jealousy.
If they were simply lovers who loved each other, even if he couldn't be a match for the girl, this jealousy would probably disappear quickly.
Who can interfere with other people's thoughts?
However, Jiangcheng is not like that.
The relationship between the two did not appear to be an equal partnership like that of lovers or spouses. Instead, it seemed that the woman was in the lead, while the young man was the one who was taking on all the responsibilities.
As for the man, Jiang Cheng, he possessed no air of arrogance, nor anything particularly special about him. Whether walking, eating, or simply moving, he appeared utterly listless, like a shut-in who hadn't left the house in ages. The only thing worthy of attention was the girl beside him.
This is why some passersby think, "Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll have a chance too," or simply out of a sense of superiority and goodwill, they want to dissuade such a lovely girl and at the same time teach Jiang Cheng a lesson so that he can recognize his own identity and status.
of course.
This pointless face-slapping scenario will not happen.
Before Raiden Mei even has a chance to make a move, Gray Snake will apologetically take care of the passersby.
"I'm sorry, Lord Jiangcheng, Lady Raiden Mei, I never imagined that humanity would degenerate to this extent."
"Condescending pity is a normal part of human nature. Not to mention that jealousy is mixed in as well. Most people like to lecture others, even though they are utterly incompetent and unaware of their own incompetence," Jiang Cheng said indifferently, ignoring the man's final screams—
"It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want. Real-life slap-in-the-face scenarios are the same to me whether they exist or not."
"It doesn't matter whether anyone is watching or not. I'm not a celebrity who expects to be the center of attention."
Even the most tragic death wouldn't cause the boy to frown at this moment.
Anyway, the blood would never splatter on him.
In that case, as long as it's not disgusting to the point of being grotesque, most of the bloodshed in the world is not even as bad as his massacre of the academy back then.
The only reason he would take a second look was because this was the punishment for someone who had tried to interfere in the important work of the World Serpent's executives and was courting death.
"Their jealousy actually makes me happy, because it means I really have a very good actor."
"As long as Mei doesn't find all of this annoying."
Yes.
The core of the problem lies with the girl.
It lies with—the Herrscher of Thunder.
Although the Herrscher could no longer find any trace of disaster at this moment, and could no longer be called a human-shaped natural disaster—even when Gray Serpent cast his extremely cautious gaze, all he could see was a cute girl who was completely immersed in love, leaning on her lover.
It even faintly reveals a few hearts in the steam rising from those strands of hair, as if soft, romantic lines, like those in a comic book, have materialized on its head.
It seemed that nothing, no matter how noisy or clamorous, could cause the girl to have the slightest emotional change. It was only because of her direct gaze that the Herrscher, who was holding the lightning, raised her head—a momentary flash of crimson appeared in her pupils, which seemed to reflect a heart, revealing a momentary arrogance and conceit that surpassed everything.
"Mei?"
I watched with my own eyes as that godlike arrogance vanished.
—With the simplest of greetings.
“If Shiro-kun doesn’t mind, then Mei doesn’t mind either, but… it’s still not a good experience to have someone else interrupt our time together.”
Her voice is so gentle.
If you hadn't seen that extremely disgusted expression.
Gray Snake quickly realized his problem – interrupting the two people's date was the biggest issue.
Ultimately, even if most dates require a lively atmosphere and people, it doesn't mean Mei's dates need that too.
—The personnel were expelled.
This is a command given to the raven.
Even though she was almost in despair, had tried to leave, and ultimately returned to World Serpent, where she became a cadre again, Raven, realizing that she could never escape her current life, could not resist the Herrscher with perfect humanity.
They talk about money, but perhaps it's more about compensating for their childhood.
At least the raven won't share this inner world with others.
All that belonged to her was the effort of one person.
Witnessing the miracle of this world, the Herrscher of the Void, who embraces her lover, heads towards a happy life and towards a brand new facility.
"Next, let's go ride the Ferris wheel together."
Do not……
wrong!
Faced with the brand-new clothes offered by the gray snake, Raven immediately tore apart the emotions in her heart without hesitation.
"Does World Serpent only have two employees? Can't we just hire a few people from the street?"
“Just to be on the safe side, those passersby were randomly selected. They were just extras acting out of ignorance,” Gray Serpent said. “Now we’re dealing with the only Herrscher known to have a special relationship with a human individual, so we can’t be too careful. In fact, if this kind of dating continues, you’ll probably see Misterin in about three days. She’s accelerated a lot of work for this, working 24/7 just to make time for it. If it weren’t for that, only she could handle it. You should have switched places with her by now.”
“Although I think you know the key to this matter, since you don’t understand it very well, I’ll remind you again. Jiang Cheng’s request is for us to prepare to take over Schicksal, and Raiden Mei’s request is for a date. We need to do both of these things at the same time, and for this reason, even the Stigmata Project can be temporarily suspended.”
"What, you're not even heeding the Lord's orders anymore?" Raven was almost amused by his serious demeanor.
To end the date, the Stigmata Project is temporarily suspended... Why do these words seem so unfamiliar?
"For the Lord, the primary requirement is to ensure that the Herrschers retain their humanity, and after what has happened, Otto is indeed no longer suitable to manage the world."
"Even without Jiang Cheng's foresight about the future, the resources of destiny, the resources of humanity, should be controlled by people with more vision and ability, not by a clown."
Recalling the panic on the plane, he thought and thought, but he couldn't find many people in the world who could rival the Herrscher.
Even a single Herrscher cannot match it, and it is an unbearable predicament—Grey Serpent shakes its head for the first time, accompanied by body language.
"Our Lord has not yet returned, so we do not know the specific implementation method of the Sacred Mark Project. There are already dozens of known templates."
"And did Jiang Cheng really not know about that plan? Did he really have no way to deal with it? Nobody knows how far ahead he really is."
"For you, witnessing the victims of the Honkai who were framed walk towards happiness should be a kind of compensation."
Victims of the Second Collapse...
Miss Natasha.
of course.
One of the few things that wasn't mentioned was that she asked you to change into these clothes.
why?
Who knows...
……
……
……
what……
Faced with the gray snakes filling the streets, the entire park, and even the Ferris wheel with only one empty cabin, as well as Miss Raven dressed as a saleswoman—at this point, the uniform could no longer make her feel any shame for having worn a maid outfit.
Jiang Cheng was too lazy to say anything more—why were even the passersby replaced by Gray Snakes after the people were driven out? Raven, how many outfits do you have anyway?
Are there really that few snake people in the world?
Hopefully... I can really take over destiny.
Even if the world were in great turmoil, it wouldn't matter, as long as Otto was dead.
They trusted Jizo Mitama, they trusted Raiden Mei, and they wholeheartedly trusted Otto's ability to fight among his subordinates—to wipe out all of humanity's top combat power.
The current Destiny has no top-tier combat power to speak of. Compared to World Serpent, which at least has a few big cats and little cats, and the existence of Feather Rabbit, it seems ridiculously laughable.
Moreover, compared to this nowadays, completing the dates that one has agreed to is the most important thing.
I wonder what's wrong with Yae Sakura now?
They're probably still saying goodbye to Rin, right?
The same long life within the Stigmata, almost to the point of becoming one with it, almost to the point of wanting to save it a second time, also made Jiang Cheng unconsciously think of that girl who was extremely similar to Mei—until the daze in front of him was suddenly pierced by a small hand that reached out and waved.
"Who are you thinking about, Mr. Cheng?" Mei tilted her head, touching her lips with a finger in a cute manner. "Don't worry about Kiana and the others. If you really miss them..."
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about how to fight Otto next in 1 Erling (3) (2) Ling Abandoned Zero Dream - I was just lost in thought."
Without hesitation, Jiang Cheng dismissed the extremely dangerous topic and pointed out the window to the dazzling, scorching sun.
The girl, whose gaze followed the fingertips, also witnessed the most beautiful view that could be seen from the Ferris wheel at its highest point. The amusement park, which was completely visible, was shrouded in a light veil like sweet oranges. The long dress, cut in shadow, was dyed a gorgeous gold. The interplay of light and shadow reflected a magnificent scene in her clear, purplish-red eyes.
Looking down from here, one can see the mountains swaying in the light and shadow, even choosing a secluded spot for a date. Thus, one can witness the sea of trees surging like waves in the wind, crashing into the horizon.
"That's a great angle..."
It's almost as big as the Changkong City I saw from the top floor.
Back then, you could see the most luxurious streets of Changkong City in their entirety, and even the outline of most of the city in the distance.
But it's only close in terms of aesthetics, because even if I were really at the highest point, even if my father were by my side, he would never praise me in a truly genuine way...
Leaning against that familiar boy, trying her best to hide her right hand so as not to make any moral mistakes, Mei's lips curled up in an absolutely uncontrollable smile.
Greedily breathing, experiencing, and feeling.
Everything about Jiang Cheng is being captured.
The aloof senior turned around, turning her gaze away from the beautiful scenery in the distance without any hesitation. She grabbed the boy's right shoulder and buried her head, nose, and face into his chest.
Before Jiang Cheng could utter any words of refusal or any indication of discomfort with such overly intimate behavior, his upright upper body was forcibly dragged down, and he suddenly lay back in the cabin.
"Please let me feel it properly."
"The first time...the first time I've felt so full..."
Ahhh...
I no longer know whether to say it's love or a sense of security.
Because this feeling is so unfamiliar that it has never been fulfilled since birth.
Even if the Sword Saint of Houmu is giving care on behalf of his father, how much authenticity can there be through a mere facade?
Later on, it became even worse than that.
There wasn't even a chance to use a fake skin anymore.
She endured prolonged bullying, prolonged indifference, and prolonged being disliked by everyone. Then, she met Jiang Cheng again and finally received some warmth. But then came the alienation, the countless enemies, and finally, even when she finally had time with him, she still ran into Bronya and Kiana... and in the end, Jiang Cheng deliberately distanced himself from her.
Raiden Mei almost thought she was going to lose things endlessly, just like before, and once again let go of something she absolutely couldn't afford to lose.
Absolutely not.
No one is allowed.
Even if it means rejection, even if it means a firm denial, I will get it—even if it means Jiang Cheng will be forced to his knees.
so.
"Let me experience it properly."
"Don't say that we haven't known each other for very long. It's not short at all. For me, it's been a month already."
Very strange.
Mei knows that she feels very strange right now.
Whether from a moral standpoint or the law of the jungle, regardless of where one should be in a higher position, one yearns for Jiangcheng, yet allows oneself to be acted recklessly at all times and in all places.
But—I couldn't stand it.
Perhaps she is someone who doesn't know how to protect herself.
I just can't resist liking and loving Jiangcheng, and I want to get closer to him and embrace him more.
Even the skin-to-skin contact—the irresistible contact between the boy and that soft, delicate body, that fragrant, plump, and tender flesh—was the same for Mei. For Mei, it was just a seemingly ordinary closeness based on the slowly improving posture after she possessed the Stigmata, which was enough to make this seemingly aloof girl feel joy from the bottom of her heart.
