Chapter 155: Xian Guyong Doubts Her Life

~10 min read 1,950 words

"A blind date... ah, no, can the observer make a few requests?"

Su Nian seemed to have heard nothing of what Xian Guyong said, continuing to speak to himself.

Of course, it was also possible that he simply didn't care about it.

"Uh..."

The corners of Xian Guyong's mouth twitched, but she still nodded.

Since she had already spoken of surrender, she naturally had to show the right attitude; after all, being needed was better than having no value at all.

Now, it was just a matter of choosing a suitable marriage partner—ah, no, an observer—for this Fourth Progenitor.

This was already the best-case scenario, and the Lion King Organization could only seize this final opportunity.

"Very well, the age must be sixteen or under, the potential must be high, the voice must be good—at least at the level of a voice actress—and as for personality, the serious type, tsundere type, underclassman type, or loli type would all be quite nice."

Xian Guyong was silent for a long time, catching her breath, her mouth twitching slightly; she still very much wanted to argue that the Lion King Organization was not a matchmaking agency.

But just as she was about to speak, what blurted out was:

"Understood, the Lion King Matchmaking Agency guarantees it will not disappoint the Emperor."

It seemed that the paper talisman left on her by Master Yuantang Yuan when she departed had just exerted a bit of control over her.

Although she could resist it by circulating a little spiritual power, Xian Guyong, currently lost in doubt about her life, had no thought of resisting.

Could this really be the correct way for the Lion King Organization to operate? Is the Lion King Organization really a matchmaking agency?

"May I ask if the Emperor has any other requirements?"

"Let me think, that's all for now."

Su Nian smiled and stopped joking around.

"Then, after some time, once the Xuanzhezhe of the Flame Light Banquet have gathered on Itogami Island and the opening assembly for the Flame Light Banquet is held, the Lion King Organization will welcome your arrival."

After saying this, Xian Guyong bowed slightly and then walked out of the alley, though she still walked in a daze.

It was as if the prescription of her black-rimmed glasses had suddenly increased; she walked unsteadily, unable to distinguish directions, and even nearly bumped into a utility pole.

It seemed the name "Lion King Matchmaking Agency" had truly brought her quite a shock.

And could it be that Xian Guyong was also wondering if she would be arranged a blind date by the Lion King Matchmaking Agency?

After Xian Guyong left, Su Nian, holding a snack in one hand, appeared beside Nangong Nayue along with Agulora.

But as Nangong Nayue looked at Su Nian, she couldn't help but step back a few paces, revealing a look of disgust.

"So you, this guy, are into the younger type?"

At this moment, Su Nian turned his head, looked at Nangong Nayue, and laughed out loud.

"Rest assured, I am not a fan of the younger type; I am a fan of all types."

"Saying it like that only makes me more uneasy."

Nangong Nayue stood with one hand on her hip, looking thoroughly annoyed as she spoke.

"I don't get you; what is the point of putting the Lion King Organization through so much trouble?"

"It can't really be just to find yourself an observer, right?"

"And the power of the Fourth Progenitor, as well as the maiden of Kain, and even the Saint Annihilation—none of these should mean much to you, right?"

Hearing this from Nangong Nayue, Su Nian tilted his head slightly to look at her and asked in return:

"Do you really want to know?"

"Fine, telling you is no harm."

"It's probably to help my own maid deal with her weakness of fearing the sun, while incidentally rescuing a certain vain Star Spirit, and finally, to establish a kingdom where demons and humans can live in peace and achieve some Merit."

Su Nian pinched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said nonchalantly.

Nangong Nayue couldn't help but lower her head, somewhat afraid to look at Su Nian.

Establish a kingdom where demons and humans can live in peace?

That truly is a kingdom worth yearning for.

After all, when Nangong Nayue became a Witch, the contract she signed with a Devil was precisely to bring about true peace between humans and demons.

The heavier the contract, the greater the difficulty of realization, and the more immense the magic power it brings; one can imagine the weight of the contract Nangong Nayue signed to become one of the world's top Witches.

Of course, such contracts aren't easy to sign; at the very least, you must truly have such an intention and truly want to do it to be able to sign it.

Yet Nangong Nayue also knew that this contract could not be realized; her best ending would be nothing more than being devoured by the Devil.

But at this moment, Su Nian really made Nangong Nayue feel that he was "cheating."

This kind of nonchalant, casual self-confidence really gave Nangong Nayue the illusion that Su Nian could easily accomplish the things mentioned above.

She couldn't help but look forward to the day when Su Nian truly established a kingdom where demons and humans lived in harmony.

"How about it? Do you want to come with me?"

Su Nian looked at Nangong Nayue with a smile.

Nangong Nayue was silent for a long time before she snorted coldly.

"First your own maid, then a vain Star Spirit—you really are capable, aren't you?"

Nangong Nayue had already realized that obtaining the first two was Su Nian's true purpose, and as for the so-called establishment of such a Night Empire, it was probably for her, wasn't it?

She couldn't help but blush and feel expectant, but what she realized even more clearly was:

If she wasn't mistaken, both of those were female, right?

So just how many people are in this guy's harem!

"So, are you joining?"

Su Nian looked at Nangong Nayue with a playful gaze; he actually quite appreciated her.

Nangong Nayue was the type of person who maintained kindness while not being bound by morality or virtue, and she was also full of a sense of responsibility and justice.

Therefore, Su Nian thought quite highly of her, and he wanted to take Nangong Nayue as his Retainer.

It is more or less similar to the relationship between himself and Shiroyasha.

Of course it is suitable; among the candidates Su Nian has taken a fancy to and could accept as Retainers, Su Nian has only really set his sights on one or two.

Nangong Nayue counts as one of them.

"Could it be that Nayue-chan doesn't want to see the day when such a nation is truly established?"

Nangong Nayue raised her head, shot Su Nian a glare, and then couldn't help but scoff.

"Trying to trick a girl, and you chose me."

At this moment, Su Nian said with a smile.

"I prefer to call this 'comrade'."

"Comrade?"

Nangong Nayue raised an eyebrow and said in a tone full of hidden meaning.

"And then? What do I get out of it?"

"Naturally, it is to become my Retainer, become my spokesperson, and help me handle various affairs."

Su Nian said quite mischievously; he could already imagine the grand spectacle he would face when he returned to Little Garden, along with the massive amount of various invitation letters.

"Heh, my intuition tells me there is definitely a huge trap inside."

Nangong Nayue said with annoyance.

The status given seems quite good—Su Nian's spokesperson—but heaven knows what Su Nian's true identity is like?

And a spokesperson, that sounds quite troublesome, as if there would be a lot of work.

This guy, he is truly a skinning capitalist who can hand over that kind of contract with a smile on his face.

Nangong Nayue sneered, picked up her pace, and walked toward the exit of the alley.

However, Nangong Nayue did not refute it, so she could be considered to have agreed to the terms.

Su Nian shrugged his shoulders, then picked up Agulora and followed Nangong Nayue.

At the same time, in a beautiful garden filled with clusters of flowers and countless blossoms.

Three masked figures were sitting on thrones that appeared and disappeared in the middle of the garden.

This is the "Ninan Tingyuan," the place where the heads of the various nations of the Sanctuary Treaty conduct international discussions and debates.

Ninan Tingyuan does not exist in reality, but within a different space; the heads of state who come here enter as false phantoms to ensure their own safety.

And right now, the nations of the Sanctuary Treaty have no important meetings scheduled, but inside the Ninan Tingyuan, three figures are already engaged in a discussion.

They are the rulers of the Three Great Empires of the Night—the War King Domain, the Extinction Dynasty, and the Chaos Realm—the Three True Ancestors who stand at the pinnacle of this world.

The tall, composed First Progenitor, the Forgotten War King, Qiyi Zhulan Balada.

And the other, a slender figure whose gender is indistinguishable, exuding the decaying aura of nobility, is the Second Progenitor, the Extinction Eye, Aisuode Gu'er Yajizi.

As for the last one, small in stature but lively in expression, looking around restlessly, is the Third Progenitor, the Chaos Empress, Gada Kukoukan.

"You two, what are you still waiting for? Did you call someone else? How come I don't remember any other countries being invited to this meeting?"

Gada was the first to be unable to help but complain; she had been sitting here for half a day and hadn't come to play a game of statues with these two guys.

"Gada, you are still the same as before, unable to sit still."

The Second Progenitor couldn't help but speak; her voice was very thin, making it impossible to tell if she was male or female.

"What, do you have a problem with that? Aisiwo'ergu'er? Want to have a fight?"

Gada said aggressively; she had been bored for thousands of years and had never found a suitable opponent, so she was still looking forward to fighting the Second Progenitor.

"Alright, except for the Ninan Tingyuan, the three of us almost never have a chance to meet. Now that we have finally met, let's not start arguing as soon as we see each other."

The First Progenitor couldn't help but intervene; he still didn't want to see his companions, whom he hadn't seen for thousands of years, filled with such gunpowder as soon as they met.

"Fine, Qiyi! Just say what you have to say, don't be so wishy-washy."

Gada waved her hand, signaling the First Progenitor to speak quickly.

"I think you all must have felt the powerful magic fluctuations when the 12th Vessel awakened, right?"

"Those magic fluctuations comparable to a continental-level Dragon Vein."

Once the First Progenitor's words were out, the remaining two Progenitors fell silent; no one knew the significance of this better than they did.

A Familiar of this level, this degree of magic—this is no longer a matter of the Fourth Progenitor, the Primogenitor, being resurrected.

Even if the magic of the four of them combined, it wouldn't be as much as this one Familiar.

"The Familiar that destroyed the Heavenly Tribe back then was not even as powerful as this one."

I overslept last night.

Today is a super double update, I finally caught up, I'm exhausted.
