Kihara Kishoin, Righteous to the Core / How to Crush a Girl's Hopes for a Beautiful Love Story
"Such pettiness will hardly win a young lady's heart, Gwen."
Sayo Aika wrinkled her cute little nose.
"Isn't that perfect?"
Gwen laughed—
"After all, even though I'm a womanizer, I don't want to get involved with too many girls."
Answering Sayo Aika's question was of course no problem, but as the Imperial Princess of the Root was linked to the Root, Gwen had no doubt that she was under the attention of the Counter Force.
If this leads to the disclosure of information to a potentially hostile Counter Force, it would be a net loss.
How long have I been in this world?
On the left, there's the Imperial Princess of the Root, and on the right, there's the Qihuang Kishou-in. They're both by my side now.
While it's quite possible that these people actually exist in this world, Gwen, whose luck has never been too bad, couldn't help but suspect that someone was plotting against him, such as the Counter Force, who was good at nothing but making fathers.
"Miss Ayaka, may I use a room?"
I have some questions I'd like to ask Lady Kihara Kishou-in.
After dealing with Sayo Aika, Gwen turned his gaze slightly to Sayo Ayaka.
"Good."
Actually, Sayo Ayaka had surprisingly good mental fortitude and had gradually adapted to being in the same room with a "monster" like Gwen. She nodded, tried her best not to look at Mei Lian, who was lying on the ground "sleeping soundly," and led Gwen toward the study.
"..."
After glancing at Kihara Kishou-in, who was obediently following Gwen toward the study, Altrouge then glanced at Sayo Aika out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see how this strange girl, who clearly held a different attitude toward Gwen, would react.
However, Sayo Aika didn't perform any facial expressions for Altrouge; she simply pouted her pink lips slightly and tapped her teacup lightly with her fingers.
"To be honest, I'm a little curious about your current state."
In the study, Gwen looked at Qihuang Kishou-in sitting opposite him and said in a deep voice.
"Hey, it seems we have an unexpected chemistry..."
Upon hearing this, Qi Huang Ji Kishou-in covered his mouth and chuckled.
"I'm also very curious about Gwen."
After all, someone like you, almost identical to a human being, yet not human, even transcending the realm of humanity, is truly a rare find in my life.
"Then let's have an open and honest talk—"
I hope I won't regret this decision in the future.
After meeting those eyes for a moment, Gwen spoke slowly.
"Of course, we might become partners walking side by side in the future."
The smiling nun uttered the lines of a passionate protagonist.
Chapter 559 The Righteous Qi Huang·Ji Xiang Yuan
Born and raised in the deep mountains, he suffered from an incurable disease from a young age and was said to not live past the age of fourteen.
However, at the age of fourteen, he met a doctor from outside the mountains who cured his supposed incurable disease.
After descending the mountain, I enjoyed a happy student life. After achieving academic success, I wanted to help more people like that doctor.
Even though he was persecuted by various interest groups and forced to wander because of his good deeds, he never cared and still took helping others as his mission.
However, he was unexpectedly caught up in the bloody storm stirred up by the Dead Apostles, and unexpectedly awakened his origin, gaining Magic Energy while observing the Seat of the Demon God.
Even so, after considering the overall situation, we still want to protect this world where Human Order is vulnerable...
In the study, Gwen briefly summarized the past recounted by Kihara Kishou-in, his face bearing a solemn expression—
Your honesty is truly moving.
If all of this is absolutely true and without the slightest deviation...
Ms. Qi Huang, please allow me to offer you my sincerest respect.
Not long ago, when faced with Gwen's question, Kihara Kishou-in did not hesitate much and told Gwen about his past.
Even his most cherished secret, one that should have been buried deep within his heart and never known to anyone, was not hidden Gwen Kishou-in—
Yes, that vividly illustrates what it means to be a born saint.
Even minor illnesses that can be treated with a little money are deemed incurable; even acts of kindness are met with various forms of suppression; the orphanages you founded are maliciously vandalized; and those who give generously to help others are bitten in return...
These experiences—enough to turn someone into a villain or even write a formulaic article for a public account—have happened to Qi Huang Kishou-in more than ten times, yet they have failed to change his mind.
What does it mean to be a "born saint"?
That's it!
Of course, if that were all, Kihara Kishou-in might at most be a contender for the Top Ten Touching Figures of the Month.
But beyond that, after unexpectedly gaining insight into his own true nature and even observing some parallel worlds, Kihara Kishou-in chose to stay in this world to continue protecting humanity, which is truly touching.
Her "beastly" nature made Kihara Kishou-in a vanguard in the destruction of humanity, yet even after realizing all this, she chose to stay in this world to protect the weaker humans...
Gwen could only sigh and say, "What a hot-blooded protagonist!" and sincerely admire such a person...
Of course, these are only the side of the Kishou-in.
As Gwen said, if this is all true without any bias, then Gwen would not mind offering it the utmost respect.
"You flatter me, Gwen."
Faced with Gwen, Kihara Kishou-in merely smiled slightly—
"I just did what I could do as a human being."
"Excessive modesty is not a good thing, Ms. Qihuang—"
If everyone were a saint like you, this world would be too wonderful to be true.
Facing the humble Qihuang, Gwen said solemnly—
"Even among all the Gods in the heavens, how many can match your character?"
Human beings have their good side, but the five poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt are the norm.
Human nature is complex; sometimes it shines brighter than the Gods, but it also often produces evil consequences that would make even demons ashamed.
Good and evil coexist; complexity and change are the norm for humanity.
If it were someone else, Gwen might have just gone along with what they were saying.
But if it's Kihara Kishou-in, the counterpart of Kishibe Ryou...
Considering that in one timeline, Kishibe Ryou once concluded that "humans don't save people" because her followers only lamented and pitied her while she was on her sickbed, but never offered her any help, and even doubted whether the "humans" described in the books were only herself, and thus gradually became beasts, Gwen must prevent such dangerous thoughts from arising.
"Oh?"
Despite Gwen's discouraging words, Kihara Kishou-in remained unfazed; instead, his eyes lit up.
"You also have a good understanding of Buddhism and are clear about the five poisons: greed, anger, ignorance, pride, and doubt?"
"I've only heard of them briefly, and I don't even know the specifics or meanings of the Five Poisons."
Gwen waved his hands repeatedly upon hearing this—
Even in the Demon Bodhisattva route, Kishibe Ryou is well-versed in Buddhist scriptures, let alone Kiara- Kishou-in in the True Saint route?
Having only glimpsed the basics of the Five Poisons from Xing Tian, Gwen dared not show off his skills in front of Guan Yu.
"If you are so inclined, I can explain it to you—"
With your current strength, if your mental state were even stronger, you might be able to unleash even greater power.
Qi Huang Kishou-in smiled slightly and made the suggestion.
"If I have the time, I would certainly be happy to—"
Gwen paused slightly, his expression becoming more serious—
"But compared to that, I think we could talk about something more practical..."
"I would like to hear the details."
Qi Huang Kishou-in nodded, looked at Gwen who had a solemn expression, and also sat up straight.
About this world—
As far as I know, the world is currently dominated by non-human races such as the Dead Apostles, while humans are in a weak position, or even subsistence.
Those who were not human were especially the Death Apostles, led by the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles.
As you can see, Black Princess Altrouge currently in a cooperative relationship with me.
"I intend to completely unify the divided Dead Apostle forces in his name, bringing the vast majority of Dead Apostles under my command and making them a true part of this society, rather than just parasites that live off humanity as a whole, serving no purpose other than hindering human development..."
Gwen slowly revealed his plans to this saint who walked the world.
If you're going to cause trouble, then you should do it on a big scale. If you have the strength, then don't be so petty.
"Um...
Good idea.
Upon hearing Gwen's suggestion, Kihara Kishou-in clearly showed interest.
However, Qi Huang Ji Kishou-in then shook his head slightly—
"However, you may not have enough understanding of what kind of enemy you will face in carrying out such a plan."
"I would like to hear the details."
Gwen immediately sat up straight, wanting to see what valuable information Qihuang Kishou-in could offer.
"First and foremost, if you are truly prepared to do this, then when the Dead Apostles are unified, you will first have to face the head of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the legendary Six Royalties of the Dark Night."
That was the original system, and the source of all the Principle Blood Rings in the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles.
It is said that the moment it is reborn, it will command the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles—
Chapter 560 On How to Shatter a Young Girl's Yearning for a Beautiful Love Story
"This point is not subject to the will of those Ancestor of the Dead Apostles."
Even if Miss Altrouge, who is by your side, has chosen to cooperate with you and will become the leader of the Dead Apostles, this is no exception.
Similarly, even if Miss Arcueid is deeply in love with you, to the point of life and death, but has not yet completely fallen into depravity and become one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, there will be no exceptions at that moment.
Qihuang· Kishou-in did not disappoint Gwen, starting with two major lightning strikes—
"Furthermore, perhaps you have defeated Miss Altrouge and her servants and think that the so-called Principle Blood Rings is nothing to fear."
But in reality, these Ancestor of the Dead Apostles were never able to unleash the true power of the Principle Blood Rings...
For example, I have never used the deepest power.
When the Six Royalties of the Dark Night awaken, the Principle Blood Rings scattered among the various Ancestor of the Dead Apostles will not only not be reclaimed, but will instead have their true power unleashed...
"Oh...
Looking at it this way, I guess I was just being recklessly ignorant...
Upon hearing Qi Huang· Kishou-in's words, Gwen raised an eyebrow, but showed no fear. Instead, he asked with interest—
"I've heard that the Demon Dog beside Altrouge is Primate Killer, ranked first among the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles. Why do you say that the so-called Six Royalties of the Dark Night are number one?"
"Primate Killer are undoubtedly the greatest threat to humans, but they only learned to drink blood after spending a lot of time with Miss Altrouge. They are not the true Ancestor of the Dead Apostles, nor do they have Principle Blood Rings."
After giving Gwen, who was showing great interest, a deep look, Qihuang Kishou-in shook his head and sold out this fellow professional in a sense without hesitation.
"However, although it is not the leader of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, it is a monster whose essence is similar to mine."
"I really don't know whether to say this world is full of disasters or extremely lucky."
Gwen, as if only now realizing Cait Sith's true identity, sighed, then asked—
"By the way, you just said that the so-called Six Royalties of the Dark Night is still the original system."
What exactly is this so-called system?
"..."
After staring at Gwen for a moment, Kihara Kishou-in shook his head slightly.
