Chapter 616
"But darling, your feelings for me are too intense. I may not be able to stay with you for the rest of my life."
"After all, just meeting you made my bones melt. If you continue to show this burning love in the future, I won't be able to handle it."
What do you think, Master?
I think this little pussy is perfect for you.
Forget it, it's more interesting to tease someone like you who still has principles.
[Sparkle seems to be on the same wavelength as this system, but in reality, this system and she are completely incompatible.]
You don't need to go to the toilet.
[A metaphor! This is simply a necessity!]
[Fine, say whatever you want, but this system will only ever offer one suggestion—]
Tell me about it?
[*!]
Although I don't know exactly what you said, judging from your tone and the words you used, I think I can already guess what you said.
Humans need to *, ghosts need to *, and those who are neither human nor ghost, half-human and half-ghost, sometimes human and sometimes ghost, also need to *!
But she's not a ghost.
I already said this is just a metaphor—she's a pretty girl, so tell me if you'd touch her or not.
Don't touch it.
[You're impotent? That doesn't make sense either. You can handle ducks and foxes, so why are you chickening out when it comes to Miss Goldfish?]
I seriously doubt that, given her personality, she might turn into Svarog halfway through the love ritual with someone else, all for her own pleasure.
[... How terrifying.]
It's even possible that only the upper body becomes Svarog, while the lower body remains unchanged.
[It's even more terrifying now.]
So now you know why I don't want to touch her.
In my eyes, she is the kind of person who is truly capable of doing something like that.
I don't lack women, why would I go looking for potentially poisonous food to eat?
So all those assumptions you had before were actually true?
I have always been very serious—both in my work and in my personal life!
[Actually, it's very simple. You can use a slideshow or Constraint Barrier to neutralize her power. No matter how hard she tries to be a little devil, she'll eventually be manipulated into all sorts of shapes and forms by you.]
Is there a possibility that I don't lack companions, so why would I become a rapist?
That makes sense.
However, your moral standards seem a bit too high; this is one of the more morally bankrupt characters in The Masked Fool.
Your moral standards are too low.
The Masked Fool aren't all bad guys. Svarog did a lot of bad things, but at least they were minor.
Giovanni, that fanatical Etherfront player behind him, look at the bad things he's done—he's just having fun promoting the game.
Besides, no matter how outrageous Sparkle gets, it's none of my business.
People should have a bottom line unless they are forced to.
If I have no bottom line, then I will eventually become no different from Otto, or even worse.
Wow, is it really that serious?
Of course.
Now that I have such great power, greater power does not necessarily mean greater responsibility, but the disasters I can cause will certainly be greater.
Otto was able to wreak havoc on my world not only because of his incredible luck, but also because of his overall strength.
If a person has high ability but low moral standards, sooner or later such a person will be consumed by desire due to the ever-decreasing bottom line and do more things that he should not have done.
Being a good person is tiring, but standing on the moral high ground and pointing fingers is better than falling into the moral Mariana Trench and becoming a monster.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? Are you angry?"
Seeing Lin Yu's silent expression, Sparkle's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and she said to Lin Yu in a tearful voice.
"They were just joking with you, and you're ignoring them."
"Honey, you're so heartless, cruel, and unreasonable—she was just joking with you, and you're giving her this attitude?"
According to Sparkle's original plan, she came here not only to help a friend who was playing games with some small favors, but also to have some fun.
And in Sparkle's eyes, the younger generation of Mikhail, the Clockie —are clearly the ones who could become the protagonists on this stage.
Moreover, Svarog had said some things to his colleagues at the tavern during the week.
Although he still kept key information to himself as before, these problems were no challenge for Lord Sparkle!
After gathering enough intelligence, Sparkle identified two people as her targets.
One was the girl with the star core inside her body, and the other was Lin Yu, the actual leader of the Stellaron Hunters action team.
The former is like a rough stone, full of delightful possibilities in Sparkle's eyes.
But in the end, she still chose to find Lin Yu.
There was no other reason; it was simply because she felt that Lin Yu would definitely be more of a source of amusement.
As for the danger, Sparkle did consider it completely.
After all, Lin Yu seemed difficult to deal with, and she was basically certain of this after reading the intelligence.
But—if you're afraid of death, why Masked Fool?
Since she has chosen the path of "pleasure," a little danger is not so unacceptable for a girl who craves fun.
Originally, after seeing the Firefly's Sparkle, I intended to reveal the hidden truth behind Firefly.
She had already planned everything. She would pretend to Svarog and come to Lin Yu's side, then guide Lin Yu to participate in some local entertainment activities, and finally reveal that Firefly was not a local, but an illegal immigrant.
Then her script was scrapped.
Although Lin Yu activated the Phantasm Lantern Barrier, preventing Sparkle from seeing what Lin Yu did to Firefly.
However, after Lin Yu removed the barrier, Sparkle deduced from the lip movements of the two during their conversation that Lin Yu already knew the truth.
Sigh, this guy really has some skills.
It seems harder to find amusement in him now—but that's just right!
If fun comes too easily, then that fun itself becomes boring.
Only the joy that comes from hard work can make Sparkle enjoy the pleasure that comes from sweat after all the hard work!
Even though the girl's eyes were already brimming with tears, Lin Yu could only feel... when he looked at her.
—This little brat's acting is really terrible.
No, perhaps she never intended to act in the first place, which is why her movements and expressions were so exaggerated.
"Moreover—that woman's origins are also unknown; she's even an illegal immigrant!"
After realizing that Lin Yu seemed to have no interest in her, Sparkle suddenly became anxious and pointed at Lin Yu, shouting loudly.
"What is it about me that this woman lacks? Tell me, just tell me!"
"Hey, I said..."
Seeing that the people around him were captivated by Sparkle's suddenly superb acting skills and words, Lin Yu calmly spoke to Sparkle.
"Didn't you tell me, Brother Svarog, that I have a bad temper?"
"You, you're bringing up other things—you have to give me an explanation today!"
Seeing Lin Yu's increasingly troubled expression, Liu Ying's somewhat bewildered Firefly, and Hua Huo's tearful Sparkle while questioning Lin Yu, the tourists on this street quickly gathered around and began to watch the drama unfold.
Listening to the chatter of the people around him, Lin Yu finally understood something.
Sometimes, the bystanders are really the most stupid.
As for why Sparkle dares to act this way now, it's probably because Lin Yu was a bit too nice to Firefly just now, which led Sparkle to make a slightly wrong judgment about Lin Yu's personality.
From Sparkle's perspective, Lin Yu, the person who was deceived by Firefly, seemed to have done something that made Firefly feel incredibly moved.
In other people's eyes, Lin Yu would probably be seen as a gentle and kind person who would treat others with kindness even if he were deceived.
The problem is, it depends on the person.
Sparkle isn't stupid; she should be able to see that.
It's probably because Lin Yu's current behavior is too naive that Sparkle made some mistakes in her judgment.
Come on, you're too naive. If you ask this system—
"Oh well, never mind."
Before the system could finish speaking, Lin Yu punched Sparkle away and then used Constraint Barrier to trap her in place.
"I'm busy, don't waste my time anymore, kid."
PS: 9K, no more tomorrow.
Trailblaze Chapter: Chapter 474 July Summary
The updates I missed the month before last are definitely paid off.
I'll have to slack off for a while this month.
The reason is probably already known to everyone.
He's in the hospital, well, it's not a big deal.
I got a needle prick, but it's not a big deal.
But here's the problem: after the needle is inserted, it's still a needle in your hand, even though it's a soft needle.
The nurses and doctors told me not to move the flesh on the back of my hand too much, as it's not good for the blood vessels.
So I'll take a break for a while, and once I've rested and my hands are free, I'll finish writing Penacony, and then I'll really be done preparing for the new book.
Trailblaze Chapter 60. It must be Ahagan!
Sparkle, who had been sent flying by Lin Yu's punch, fell to the ground in disbelief.
She had already sensed Lin Yu 'Lin Yu intentions when he was about to attack her.
However, when Lin Yu made his move, Sparkle discovered that she... couldn't move.
She wasn't intentionally trying to create a dramatic effect; she simply couldn't avoid the punch.
What made things even more difficult for Sparkle was that after falling to the ground, she discovered that her strength was steadily declining.
Although according to the family's propaganda, the concept of death does not exist in Penacony, now that Sparkle's power has declined, she feels that she has gone a bit too far as she watches Lin Yu approach her step by step.
Originally, according to Sparkle's estimation, Lin Yu might have been furious with his actions, but given Lin Yu's innocent demeanor, the probability of him attacking Sparkle on the spot was probably not high.
Furthermore, with the Festival of Joy just around the corner, the family certainly doesn't want any trouble to arise at Penacony's side.
After all, with such a grand event as the Festival of Joy about to take place, Penacony runs into trouble, it's tantamount to the family losing face in front of other forces, and it might even give people the feeling that "the family is no longer doing well."
Although the family is large, it is precisely because the family is large that a pack of wolves are secretly waiting for this behemoth to cause trouble, preparing to seize the opportunity to gain some benefits.
For this reason, Hua Huo, who thought that even if Lin Yu got angry, he shouldn't Sparkle immediately, misjudged one thing.
That is— Lin Yu is not a person with enough patience.
He might take care of his companions, help the weak, and do everything a good-natured anonymous person should do.
However, this is on the premise that these people are not Lin Yu's enemies.
When facing enemies, unless those enemies are handled poorly and cause great disaster or for some special reason, Lin Yu will definitely kill the enemy on the spot as soon as he can kill them.
Meanwhile, Sparkle is always trying to cause trouble. Lin Yu, who doesn't understand or bother to think about what she's planning to do, has decided to use the easiest means to achieve his goal.
