Chapter 386: Chapter 253 Will you take Rosa as your wife? (Vote for monthly tickets!)
The evening came quickly.
Chen Lun had dinner with his sister Rosa and brother Noah in the room on the third floor of the commerce guild building.
At the dinner table, Rosa had lost her earlier domineering and indifferent demeanor, instead wearing an indulgent expression.
She kept serving Noah the dishes he loved.
Then, she watched him intently until he finished the food, then a gentle smile appeared on her face.
“Sister, I’ve been eating well at Jack’s estate, there’s no need for this… You know Miss Floey’s cooking skills, I…”
...
“Don’t talk, eat!”
Rosa placed her index finger on her lips, making a shushing gesture.
Noah saw his plate in front of him piled up with food again and sighed helplessly.
“I finally got back in shape…”
Rosa rolled her eyes.
“What does it matter, that was due to a curse, not from eating too much… And now you’ve reached Mid Sequence; as a Transcendent of the Flesh Faction, you need to eat even more!”
As she spoke, she began serving Chen Lun as well.
“Mr. Jack, please have some more.”
“Thank you.”
Chen Lun responded with a smile.
The commerce guild’s food reserves had run out, and all of these were brought by Rosa, which also acted as a tonic for the guild’s members.
Without the previous anxiety due to the shortage of food, the commerce guild was now in a state of peaceful relaxation after a narrow escape from disaster.
After dinner.
Rosa couldn’t stop stroking Noah’s head, messing up his hair into a mess.
She even pulled him into her embrace and pinched her brother’s cheek, seemingly so fond of her “cute form” brother that she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Noah was reluctant, but he had no way of resisting his dominant sister.
After Rosa had tousled the little lad enough, she glanced at the wall clock and then turned to look at Chen Lun.
“Mr. Jack, it’s about time. Please come with me.”
She stood up and walked straight out the door.
Noah came to Chen Lun’s side and rearranged his hairstyle, then put on his round glasses.
“I’ll come with you too, Mr. Jack. I haven’t seen Mother in a long time and miss Her.”
“Alright, let’s go together then.”
Chen Lun smiled slightly at Noah and then followed Rosa out.
The three of them returned to the rooftop of the commerce guild building.
Night fell, and the stars twinkled faintly.
Rosa made several specific hand gestures, then tossed a silver coin, which spun in mid-air, tracing the arc of a doorway.
Hum!
A silvery light blossomed from the lingering arc.
Clink!
The silver coin hit the ground.
At the same time, the ethereal doorway swung open.
“Mr. Jack, please come in.”
Rosa turned around, smiling and gesturing.
“This leads to the Spirit World, directly crossing the endless journey, arriving at the Royal City of Hidden Veil City in the land of Shuoli…”
Chen Lun nodded, adjusting his hat, and bowed slightly.
Then he stepped forward, directly into the illusory doorway.
Silver light filled his vision, and Chen Lun felt a slight pulling sensation around him, as if he were submerged in gel.
It didn’t last long.
The silver light dissipated, and his vision returned to normal.
In the distinctive pale blue haze of the Spirit World, towering city walls and farther spires could be seen in the distance.
A tall woman in a silver robe stood upon the indistinct pale white staircase.
Although Her face was unclear, Chen Lun still felt a pair of eyes quietly watching him.
Rosa and Noah followed closely behind, arriving behind Chen Lun.
“Greetings to Your Majesty Blaze.”
Chen Lun adjusted his hat, greeting the Silver Dragon Witch at the top of the stairs.
“Mother!”
Noah shouted excitedly from the side.
The witch was silent for a few seconds, then laughed softly.
She stretched out her hand and beckoned.
“Child, come, come closer.”
Noah ran over immediately.
He rushed into the arms of the witch in an instant.
The Silver Dragon Witch looked down at Noah for a few seconds, then let out a hum of slight surprise.
“Indeed… the curse from the Desecrated Duke has been lifted.”
Her voice wasn’t loud but echoed throughout the area.
Chen Lun listened very intently.
The name “Desecrated Duke” appeared in his ears once again.
Previously, during his fight with Bishop Bruno, when the Desecrated Holy Sword’s phantom was summoned, that name had been mentioned.
And on the panel description of Sin Blood, it was also mentioned.
This seemed to be a significant figure within the Red Apple Church.
“Desecrated Duke Ragnar, formerly a duke of the Beelzebub Kingdom in the Extreme West, later joined the Red Apple Church, serving as the head of the Blood Abbey’s Ten Cores and made significant contributions to the spread of Lady Rose’s faith…”
It seemed as though the witch noticed Chen Lun’s confusion and explained.
“However, several decades ago, due to some secret matters, He angered the ‘Dim Lady’, along with the Pope at that time, Doromy Purness, and six members of the Blood Abbey’s Ten Cores, all perished.”
“Dim Lady?”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Chen Lun murmured this name.
The witch nodded.
“She is the Sequence One angel at the end of the Flesh Pathway, yet does not serve Lady Rose… She doesn’t have much connection with the Red Apple Church.”
The witch looked down at Noah again and gently placed her hand on his head, stroking it, while Noah closed his eyes with a smile, looking content.
An aura of affinity pervaded the surroundings.
“After the Desecrated Duke perished, His remains became the[Super A Level Mysterious Object – Desecrated Holy Sword], which the Red Apple Church kept under strict watch… The curse that Noah suffered from was influenced by the remnant forces from that weapon.”
The witch turned to Chen Lun, laughing softly.
“Jack, thank you again for everything you’ve done for Noah… Sorry, I find myself repeating these words after a year.”
“Your Majesty Blaze, since you trust me with Noah, I should also take responsibility for him,”
Chen Lun said with a humble tone.
The witch nodded, her inscrutable face seemingly expressing admiration.
“I am also aware of the merchant guild’s affairs, and given your aid to Noah, you truly deserve some reward.”
She extended a hand and gestured at Chen Lun.
Brilliant radiance flickered.
Chen Lun immediately received a panel notification.
[You have gained the appreciation of Saint Blaise Shelley of the Constellation Faction! The blessing “Shining Nova” has been enhanced!]
[Shining Nova LV2 (Blessing)]
Blessing Description: The grace offered to you by Saint Blaise Shelley makes you dazzling like the stars.
Blessing Effects: Moderately increases resistance to mystical contamination, mental resistance, and divination significance, Charm +4.
“Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty the Witch.”
Chen Lun doffed his hat and bowed slightly.
“Hmm…”
The witch suddenly fell into thought and then asked:
“Jack, are you willing to marry Rosa?”
“?!”
Chen Lun was briefly startled.
Noah even cried out in shock, his face a picture of disbelief.
“Mr. Jack… to become my brother-in-law? But… but…”
Chen Lun felt somewhat at a loss with the witch’s directness.
His mind wavered.
He couldn’t understand why Your Majesty Blaze would suddenly pose such a question.
Turning to look at Rosa, he saw that her face was also slightly surprised, clearly also unprepared.
But she did not have the shyness of a little girl.
Noticing Chen Lun’s gaze, she instead responded with an easy smile, her eyes even betraying a hint of anticipation.
To Rosa, she admired Jack within her heart but was not yet enamored with him.
However, she found her mother’s proposal appealing, and she was willing to spend time growing to love this man.
“I’m very sorry, Your Majesty,”
Chen Lun said in a low voice while maintaining his bow.
Noah breathed a sigh of relief, while Rosa remained calm.
After her proposal was rejected, the witch did not get angry.
“Such a pity…”
She simply expressed regret.
“Jack, is it because Rosa was once a male that you feel uneasy?”
“That is not the case, Your Majesty,”
Chen Lun straightened up and put his black hat back on.
“I have never had any prejudice against Miss Rosa; Transcendents of the Constellation Faction who advance to [Sequence Six-Witch] undergo a unification of gender… even their psyche completely becomes feminine,”
he said slowly.
“But this is actually no different from normal females; it’s pointless to view such things through the eyes of the mundane world. My heart belongs to another, not because I am unwilling to marry Miss Rosa.”
The witch nodded, showing appreciation for Chen Lun’s words.
“You’re right, Jack. Gender, for those who step into the Mystic Realm, is no longer a simple division; mundane notions indeed mean nothing.
Since you have no intention of marrying Rosa, I will not insist.”
She raised her hand and looked at the black Sun symbol on the back of her hand, somewhat wistful.
“It’s just that the Silver Dragon Family has not had a new member for a long time, my apologies.”
Chen Lun remained silent.
The witch continued:
“Rosa and Noah’s father was once a saint of the Solar Cross Society, and when we united, his views were remarkably similar to yours.
We both evolved from ordinary mortals to Mythical creatures, yet he harbored no qualms, which touched me deeply.
Unfortunately, the Sun Church does not agree with the Solar Cross Society’s ideology, and a secret war ensued. The ‘Proud Sun’ he worshipped was exiled and forgotten, and he himself fell on the battlefield.”
Both Noah and Rosa seemed to be hearing about their father for the first time, and their expressions were a mix of surprise and solemnity.
“Jack, I have glimpsed fragments of the future, omens from the stars… In addition to Rose, you must also be cautious of the Sun,”
the witch said seriously, and Chen Lun looked pensive and nodded heavily.
“Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty the Witch.”
The witch gently patted Noah’s shoulder.
“Go now, child.”
Noah nodded and reluctantly left his mother’s embrace to approach Chen Lun.
In the end, the witch said:
“I hope that in the not-too-distant future, Noah can follow at your side like Clarence, Jack.”
Boom!
The surroundings twisted.
The ivory white walls, towers, and stairs all spiraled, shrinking, until they disappeared.
Chen Lun, Rosa, and Noah returned to the rooftop.
The nightfall was still tranquil.
“Mr. Jack, let’s go down,”
Rosa said aloud.
Her expression and tone were as usual, with no changes.
“Yes,”
Chen Lun nodded and smiled in response.
He had been worried that Rosa might change her attitude towards him because of the witch’s arranged marriage, but it seemed he had been overly concerned.
This natural interaction made him more comfortable.
For Rosa, Chen Lun preferred they remain friends rather than lovers.
It was Noah who kept glancing at his sister and then at the back of Chen Lun, hesitating to speak.
Rosa rolled her eyes and ruffled his head, saying wordlessly:
“Kids shouldn’t run wild with their imagination.”
“Ah! Sister, I definitely wasn’t imagining what children between you and Mr. Jack would look like… Ah!”
A thud followed, along with Noah’s cry of pain.
Chen Lun, walking ahead, nearly fell down the stairs.
