The Angel and the Devil

Jean flinched. She knows about the Sky Poison Pearl… Tch, it was better just scavenging from her corpse…

At that moment, he felt pain in his left finger and looked back at the girl, seeing that she bit on it with enough strength to make it bleed, and quickly sucked out the blood out.

Alarmed, Jean tried to pull his hand back, but even if the girl looked delicate as glass, she had a pretty strong grip, soon, he could feel that the loss of blood wasn't negligible anymore and he used Wind on her, sending her rolling away, even if he required really much power.

She was so weak now, but he couldn't even move her of an inch when he tried to pull his arm, and he required enough strength to break a big rock just to sending her rolling away so some meters… Did he trigger a flag when he said she couldn't be a Profound God? It seems the answer is "Yes".

When he looked back at the girl, he saw her stopping moving as she disappeared in the wind like dust, leaving only her clothes behind.

Jean: Holy shit! Did I just erase her!?

When he thought he exaggerated with "Wind", he felt a weird sensation on his left palm, and entered the Sky Poison Pearl.

The first thing that he saw was a naked unconscious girl in front of him…

Jean: Well, well, well…

Right in this moment, an imaginary Angel Jean and a Devil Jean appeared on his shoulders.

Angel: Don't do it, you are a righteous man, doing this is below your level…

Devil: Just take advantage of the situation, she is unconscious, and was in an half-dead state, she won't wake up in a while and no one will remember about this.

Angel: She's a fucking kid, you sick fuck!

Jean: Yeeeeah… Sorry bro, I'm not a lolicon.

Devil: Tch...

His imaginary friends disappeared, leaving Jean in his thoughts…

How was she able to come here? Was it because she sucked my blood? Who is she? How strong is she? What was that poison? Should I pick up the clothes that are still outside? Yes, I should…

He left the Sky Poison Pearl and purified the girl's clothes before stuffing them in the treasure fused with him, he will think about the girl when the moment will come. now there was something more important than that, and it was the shadow that was coming towards him.

When the shadow discovered him, it stopped and vigilantly asked.

?: Who is it?

The familiar voice reached Jean's ears and unconsciously called out.

Jean: Little Aunt?

Xiao Lingxi: Ah?

She let out a quiet gasp and quickly ran over, the moonlight revealed Xiao Lingxi's figure, and her eyes were wide open.

Xiao Lingxi: Little Che? Why are you here?

Jean: ...I'm trying to discover the volume of the moon in m³ using a banana for scale.

Xiao Lingxi: ...Uh… What…?

From her tone it was understandable that she didn't get what Jean just said, and he immediately corrected himself.

Jean: *Cough* Stargazing…

Xiao Lingxi: Stargaze? Tonight is your wedding night, you aren't with your Xia Qingyue consummating… Consummating your marriage, but instead came out here to stargaze!?

Jean: ...Unbelievable, right?

He was sweating cold when Xiao Lingxi grabbed his arm and angrily pouted.

Xiao Lingxi: Don't you know that it's dangerous here? From time to time, profound beasts will come out, and when it's this dark, sometimes bandits will come here. What would happen if you carelessly ran into them?

I have told you many times now, if I or your grandfather aren't by your side, you absolutely can't come out here, even if it's during the day. You actually… did not listen to my words!

Jean: Shit!

He cursed when she angrily pinched his arm, making her more angry.

Xiao Lingxi: Was that a curse!?

Jean: Stop it!!! This will be the last time you will be pinching me, I swear!

Xiao Lingxi thought that those words meant that he will stop not listening to her, but she was unable to guess that he meant that he will leave from here soon and turn stronger, if it was under his current capabilities… He just need to find a good moment to leave.

Xiao Lingxi: So you will not come out here unless I or Grandfather are here?

Jean: Yeah, yeah… But why did you come here?

Xiao Lingxi: I…

Her voice lowered and her eyes appeared to be a bit hollow.

Xiao Lingxi: I don't know why, but I couldn't sleep tonight. Then I saw that the stars were really bright tonight, so I wanted to come t the rear mountains to take a look.

Jean: Heh… Just like the old times…

He was using Xiao Che's memories as a reference when he said those words.

Xiao Lingxi: Hm. I also thought about that, so I thought I'd see how it felt to come out by myself to stargaze… Because in the future, I might not be able to stargaze with Little Che.

Jean: C'mon, I already told you that you are more important than my wife…

He ruffled Xiao Lingxi's hair, making her smile, before she realized something and slapped the hand away.

Xiao Lingxi: I am the aunt here, I should be the one doing it!

Then she got near Jean and ruffled his hair.

Jean: 'Heh… That's pretty comfortable…'

After enjoying it for a bit, Jean grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand, surprising her, and lead her to a small hilltop covered by soft and tender grass, before sitting down and leaning against each other's shoulders.

Jean: Now that I think about it, it's been a long time… When we were little, whether it was winter or summer, we would frequently sneak out here. I remember one winter night, at this very spot, of course the sky was filled with many stars.

We watched for a long time, then accidentally fell asleep against each other… Then it turned out that it unexpectedly snowed that night. And grandfather found us as two little snowmen.

Xiao Lingxi: Pffft… Hahahahaha!

She was laughing at the memory of that day, and before she could finish to laugh, she felt an arm around her shoulder and a click, she calmed down and saw something weird, there was something attached to Jean's left wrist, and it had an image of her laughing while he was smiling at the image.

Xiao Lingxi: Little Che, what is that?

Jean: This is a small thing I found around the forest, it does some things, but one of them is letting me taking "Pictures" or "Videos", try to think about drawings, but they are instantaneous.

Then he opened the gallery, and tapped on the first photo he made, Xiao Lingxi's eyes turned into stars when she saw herself and Jean happy in the "Picture".

Xiao Lingxi: Waah! That's so cool! Hey, can you give one to me?

Jean: Erm… Sorry but I don't know if it is possible… But don't worry, even if we are separated, I have a picture with us!

Xiao Lingxi: Hehe… Little Che is so caring… *Yawn*

She was too tired and accidentally slept while laying her head on Jean's chest, he looked at her in surprise before he smiled and laid his body in the ground, before closing his eyes and slept.
