Chapter 193

"A living person?" Li Pu suddenly said.

"Hey~ you're really smart," Yae Sakura said. "You guessed right."

Do you have a solution?

Li Pu was directly asked this question.

"This... for example, cutting down the Chief Priest with one blow?" Li Pu said jokingly, "Maybe that's a solution."

"Oh." Yae Sakura nodded and then headed to her room.

"No! Wait a minute," Li Pu said, "You... you're not really planning to go and chop something, are you?"

"Otherwise what?" Yae Sakura retorted, "Since you said it, then I'll just go and chop down the Chief Priest, won't that solve the problem?"

"Ah... just kidding." Li Pu immediately shook his head frantically and said, "It's not that simple."

"This is a problem of the larger environment."

"Even if you cut him down, it won't make a difference."

This is the prevailing thought now, even though the Chief Priest chose this path for their own benefit. But from the perspective of overall public opinion, this is the prevailing view.

Sacrificing one person to please the gods is the best choice for this era, an era of ignorance.

The death of a Chief Priest is useless if the mainstream public opinion does not change.

Then there will definitely be another Chief Priest to fill the position.

They can't be eradicated.

However, it cannot be said that this matter cannot be changed.

Li Pu looked at Yae Sakura.

Perhaps the key factor in my departure lies with Yae Sakura, and the real turning point might be this ritual. If I do nothing, I'll just let the ritual continue smoothly.

"Actually, I have a better way," Li Pu said after thinking for a moment. "A more practical way."

"At least in the short term, I think my method will be very useful."

"How about it, do you want to give it a try?"

"What method?" Yae Sakura asked in return.

"Hmm." Li Pu said with a half-smile, "I heard a story when I was in school."

"Xi Menbao is quite famous in the Ming Kingdom on the other side of the strait."

"We can learn from his approach."

Of course, besides learning from Xi Menbao, there is another matter that needs to be resolved regarding Yae Sakura!

Hi-Fyūmaru!

Chapter 222 Green Hat

"Has this happened before in history?"

Li Pu had just told Yae Sakura about the matter, but had not yet received a definite answer from Yae Sakura.

Otto then came knocking on their door.

It seems this guy is quite well-informed.

Of course, Li Pu knew that Otto coming to his door was definitely not a good thing. This guy must be plotting something with Yang Mi! There's definitely something fishy going on!

This Otto!

"Do you think this happened in history?"

Li Pu stroked his chin and said with a half-smile, "Guess whether this has ever happened in history."

"..." Otto shut up, but of course he wouldn't stay silent forever. Communicating with this Li Pu was a bit difficult. The man's way of speaking and language habits were somewhat unpredictable to him.

This question really left Otto speechless.

This guess is definitely not simply a matter of whether the event actually happened or not.

There must be another layer of meaning.

The question is whether Li Pu is willing to tell him whether this incident actually happened or not.

Would Li Pu do that?

But did this event actually happen in history, or did it not happen in history?

Otto didn't know either.

"You really are a little devil who likes to play with people's hearts," Otto teased. "But I like it too. Even twins have some differences in personality."

"If I were just a complete copy of Kallen, it would be too monotonous. Having another flavor is also great."

Otto didn't answer, but his words made Li Pu's face fall instantly.

This guy really knows how to bring up the very thing you don't want to talk about!

"Mr. Otto," Li Pu said unhappily, "Do you dare say those words again in front of Kallen?"

"Oh? You actually said that?" Otto seemed about to reach out and pinch Li Pu's chin. He spoke tenderly, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "Are you jealous?"

"Are you jealous of my ass?!"

Li Pu felt like punching someone, if it weren't for the fact that he was very likely to lose.

Li Pu really wanted to pin Otto to the ground and beat him up.

Why?! Why?!

If a guy openly declares in front of you that you want to fly wing to wing, that's definitely something a man would enjoy.

But why should I be one of the wings?

"Is that so?" Li Pu suddenly raised his face and said, "Then Mr. Otto, you really are..."

"Could you repeat what you just said?"

'Why did your attitude suddenly change?' Otto certainly had his reasons for saying that.

The most terrifying thing about people is being too calm. An overly calm person, someone intelligent who analyzes everything with extreme composure, is even more frightening!

So you have to make him angry, furious, and anxious.

The angrier and more anxious he gets, the less he can think calmly.

What's with this sudden change of attitude?

Could it be that he was so angry that he laughed instead?

But this is not bad either.

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Otto said, "You're like a little peppercorn; the more you resist, the more I like you. So I, Otto, have you wrapped around my little finger."

After hearing Otto's bold statement, Li Pu smiled slightly, crossed his arms as if watching a show, and said, "Well then, Mr. Otto ~"

"You said that we're all adults now, and both of us should represent maturity."

Li Pu gave a slight nod, signaling Otto to look back.

"Now, are you going to make a choice, or do you want both?"

Otto became alert!

I actually miscalculated. No, could it be that I lied? No, it probably is. But I'll take another look anyway.

Otto can be quite naive at times; he doesn't quite understand what Murphy's Law is. Murphy's Law isn't some made-up thing; it's a real law.

Otto proved Murphy's Law with his own actions.

He had misjudged the reason for Li Pu's sudden change of tone and also miscalculated the fact that Kallen wouldn't be behind him.

Therefore, given condition one, Li Pu suddenly changed his attitude and induced him to say those words. Given condition two, Kallen was indeed behind him; he didn't know when she arrived, but she was there and heard everything.

Please provide a solution.

"No! Kallen!" Otto panicked.

He knew that even if he wanted to be with his wife, this era didn't restrict monogamy. It wasn't a secret that men in this era had multiple mistresses.

But this...

This...

This...

This is still a taboo!

Although Li Pu is the future Kallen's reincarnation, he is still a man until Kallen's consciousness is fully awakened and he completely becomes Kallen.

This...

"No, Kallen! Let me explain!" Otto was anxious; he could clearly see all sorts of expressions on Kallen's face.

"This matter! This matter is not what you imagine."

"Try to explain it well," Li Pu said with a sly laugh. "I have to go now."

After saying that, Li Pu turned around and disappeared in a flash.

Suddenly, only a shocked Kallen and Otto, who was trying his best to explain, remained.

"You... Otto ... this..." She took a step back and said, "Could it be... no... this... who are you?!"

"Uh, cough cough, this... no... that..."

Kallen was starting to ramble.

Kallen was certainly aware of the G issue; this era was far less tolerant of this large group, namely the entire LGBT community.

In fact, there have been periods in history when such things were more tolerant.

For example, ancient Greece.

Naming your love after a famous figure from ancient Greece is a trendy and fashionable way to start a relationship these days.

Platonic love, in its more important and original sense, refers to the emotional bond between men that transcends friendship.

Well, although that might be a bit simplistic, Platonic love has a deeper meaning.

However, it also reflects the prevailing social atmosphere at the time.

For example, true love exists between men, while with women it's only for procreation.

Although the atmosphere of this era is completely different from that era due to the development of the times, the evolution of history and many other reasons.

But this doesn't mean that Kallen didn't understand what it was.

She even knew that the Tribunal of Schicksal contained a full set of torture instruments and charges prepared for this type of person.

Only...

Why do I suddenly feel like I'm the one who steals someone else's love? Does it really mean that true love only exists between men, and women can only steal love away?

How... how... but Otto...

"No! Kallen." Otto could tell at a glance that Kallen was overthinking things.

"Let me explain." Otto waved his hands, scratching his head like a monkey, trying to explain.

But Kallen seemed not to listen to anything. She patted Otto on the shoulder and said, "No need to explain, I can understand! I really can understand."

After saying that, Kallen gave a thumbs up and smiled, saying, "I can understand your hardship. After all, those old fogies in Schicksal and your family would never accept it."

"I understand," Kallen said. "I, Kallen, am not someone who is stubborn and inflexible."

"You must have had a very tough time, after all, this kind of thing is impossible for the world to accept."

"But don't worry, I will definitely help you keep it a secret."

"As your comrade-in-arms, someone you can trust and rely on," Kallen said, patting her chest. "You can believe me! I will definitely keep my mouth shut."

"I will absolutely not tell anyone."

"No! That's not how it is!" Otto said even more anxiously, "No, that's not how it is! Kallen, please believe me."
