Andoain, But Without the Pathseeking
But Arturo had a feeling that perhaps even the saints couldn't compare to him.
"Mr. Huang, what are your plans after you see your friend?"
"It depends. If things go smoothly, I'll stay here for a few more days; if not, I'll leave immediately."
Huang Cao was very honest, because sooner or later Arturo would find out his identity.
Just as the two were at a loss for words, a sudden clap of thunder rang out in the sky, and a heavy rainstorm descended upon the village.
"Can you cover my hand while I sleep tonight? I'm a little scared."
"I have my doubts." Huang Cao lowered her head, meeting Arturo's fearful gaze.
It doesn't seem like an act.
But I've also encountered thunderstorms while traveling in the wilderness... Why...?
"Alright, I'll take your kindness for granted. I'll lend you my warm embrace for six hours. Cherish it; it's a privilege that very few people enjoy."
Huang Cao isn't such a heartless person; he actually has a soft heart.
Two hundred years have given him a pair of eyes that can see through the hearts of most people.
Unfortunately, human nature is complex, and he wasn't a psychologist, so he couldn't explore the causes and solutions for every emotion.
It's really too cruel to kick that young girl away now, especially since she doesn't seem to have any intention of making any further moves.
Let's calm the girl down first; consider this a practice run for comforting our own children in the future.
"Thanks."
Arturo rested his head against the man's chest, feeling the warmth and security he received.
She was truly terrified.
She thought of a similar stormy day, just a week after her mother's death.
When she was startled by thunder, she instinctively wanted to find her mother's or father's embrace while she was sleeping in bed.
Unfortunately, neither of them could offer her any tenderness, so she could only try to overcome this fear.
Bury your fear in your heart, and let confusion overshadow it.
Over time, I got used to it, but tonight, on this stormy night, there was a haven beside me that dispelled my confusion.
This scene is so much like the first stormy night I experienced after my mother passed away.
However... I am no longer helpless, and I can release all the pent-up fear I've accumulated, because no one will hurt me anymore...
Arturo squinted and looked up. The man had a handsome chin, and he had his arms around Arturo's shoulders.
However, this guy's neck is a little crooked, because he doesn't want to touch his own aura.
Surprisingly, Mr. Huang was quite thoughtful; he wasn't so dense as to be oblivious at this moment.
Arturo had actually prepared himself for being kicked out, but he hadn't expected Huang Cao to...
It is indeed a large log, but it is a warm tree that can provide shelter from the wind and rain. Its only drawback is that it does not burn well.
It only has a body of copper skin and iron bones, so it is completely impenetrable.
Arturo's face was still red. After the fear in his heart dissipated, he began to have some inappropriate thoughts.
But it was only a tiny bit of a shrimp head in my mind.
If this guy could take the initiative a few minutes later, it's not impossible...
I'm not particularly fond of doctrines anyway; after all, who can tell you what to do when you're traveling?
Unfortunately...
Arturo glanced at the hand resting on his left shoulder, sighed inwardly, and decided it was best not to hope that the guy would fall for him.
Mr. Huang has probably seen more than I have, so how could he possibly have any different thoughts about me?
But I'm truly unwilling to accept this. I clearly have a wonderful partner I could entrust my life to, or even... why does it have to belong to someone else?
Arturo couldn't accept the idea of competing with other women for love; he felt it was pointless to fight to the death over all sorts of things, big and small, every day.
If Kal'tsit heard what this angel was really thinking, she would probably vehemently refute her.
What's wrong with this house? This house is fantastic!
Master Huang's wives were known for their unity; there was absolutely no backstabbing or infighting among them.
It's fair to say that without a few instigators, the number of people would be at least half that.
Huang Cao was at peace, but he still sensed something was wrong with Arturo's body.
However, I didn't pay much attention to it, only marveling in my heart that this angel's figure was truly the perfect embodiment of youthful beauty.
Like her own daughter, but on the surface, Arturo is much more youthful and beautiful than her daughter, after all, age and social experience matter, but they each have their own advantages.
Feeling the intense heat emanating from the Huang Cao, Arturo moved even closer.
At least tonight you belong to me alone, and no one can take you away.
Nothing happened that night, and it was another peaceful night's sleep.
Around 10 a. m., in the early morning after the rain, the sunlight shone down gently, as if the world had been filtered through a high-definition lens.
Good morning, Mr. Huang.
Arturo awakens from his dream and greets the guardian who protected his dream.
However, it was clear that she didn't sleep very well last night.
Huang Cao took a deep breath. Arturo's long hair had gotten tangled around her, and it took a lot of effort to untangle it.
It's common knowledge that wired headphones hanging on your ears while sleeping are deadly weapons!
Of course, the same goes for messy, unruly hair.
Chapter 554 Andon, but the Path to Enlightenment Undiscovered
"Luckily you didn't encounter anything strange last night, otherwise I really would have had to control you."
Huang Cao untied the hair that was wrapped around her neck, carrying a hint of lavender fragrance.
Arturo had a very faint scent; perhaps that was the unique charm of a young girl.
"I should be the one saying that, and besides, am I that scary?" Tutu couldn't help but pout, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Besides, even if I did touch something, you probably wouldn't...
But I didn't expect this guy to be so strong...
After all, the two had been embracing so tightly that night, with Arturo making no attempt to avoid suspicion, so strictly speaking, they were already completely pressed together.
Arturo was certain that Huang Cao hadn't actually touched anything, after all, the guy had his left arm around his shoulder and his right hand under his head.
She pressed her head against Mr. Huang's chest and listened to his heartbeat all night.
Her left leg was also placed on Mr. Huang's waist. She was lying flat, so there was no way she wouldn't have bumped into something.
In addition, I'm not a very good sleeping person at night...
It can only be said that you can't stop someone who really wants to sleep. Huang Cao is like a giant tree that has watched over the world for thousands of years, possessing an absolutely calm and undisturbed heart.
For the next few minutes, Arturo tried everything he could to create a little surprise for the guy in the morning and see how he would react.
But in the end, all that was earned was someone's doubtful look at the person in front of them, questioning their intelligence.
Was this angel terrified by lightning last night? It's acting like it has ADHD this morning.
If you don't have the ability, don't try to fake it; it will only lead to misunderstandings.
It can only be said that Arturo has a low moral standard, but he still has some, since he didn't throw away his underwear and panties no matter how tempting it was.
For someone without artistic taste, Huang Cao genuinely couldn't distinguish between underwear and swimwear.
In particular, Arturo's undergarments were rather conservative in style, giving her a pure and alluring look, but the seasoned Master Huang remained unmoved.
We have this kind of food at home, don't you think millet is delicious?
Someone's on-the-spot reaction dealt another heavy blow to Arturo's confidence.
She was very confident in her looks and figure, and was a well-known beauty in the surrounding area.
She'd already seduced him like that.
You should at least show some shyness!
Why do I feel like I've gone crazy?
Arturo dressed, his face flushed with embarrassment, and went into the restroom.
Having already finished washing up, Huang Cao shrugged and went downstairs to enjoy her breakfast.
It was quite a while before Arturo, wearing gloves, came downstairs. He didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down in front of Master Huang.
He said while chewing on his bread, "Could you do me one last favor?"
"Tell me, do you want to become the Pope and want me to help you unify Lateran?"
If Arturo really has this idea, Huang Cao has to lend a hand, no matter what.
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. TuTu rolled her eyes. "You know, my relationship with my father isn't great right now, but I want him to prove that I can live well without him. I also want to give him the video my mother recorded in her spirit form."
"So, can you come with me to see my father?"
"It Tai He, but I need to see that old guy first, and then I'll think about it."
If nothing unexpected happens, Arturo's father will definitely recognize him, since he is considered a relevant person.
Therefore, in order not to affect subsequent actions, I should first meet with Laterano Church.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After breakfast, the two stayed in the village for a day or two to replenish their supplies before embarking on their journey to the capital.
Of course, Arturo's Originium training didn't stop during his journey, and his Originium Arts continued to improve.
For one angel, the time spent traveling was the most relaxing, because it was easy and she had a goal.
The two soon arrived at a city on the outskirts Holy City Lateran.
Then, around a field, as they were preparing to hunt Huang Cao, they were stopped by a Sarkaz man.
The man, who was very old-fashioned and elegant, took the stone from Huang Cao's hand and stuffed a large ham into his arms.
"Sir traveler, please forgive this Horned Beast. I am willing to give you the food that I and my crew have, simply because of your kindness."
Huang Cao recognized the Sarkaz man in front of her; his gloomy eyes.
Andon, what are you doing here?
And if you give me the ham, won't your teammates have a problem with that?
"May I ask your name?"
"Sir, you may call me Andon. I have just returned from Iberia and am on my way back to the capital to report for duty. I am followed by my entourage."
Before Andon could finish speaking, three beautiful young women, each with their own unique features, suddenly appeared behind him.
Two Sarkaz, one big bird.
It seems this is the Andon Squad from the story.
Huang Cao couldn't help but marvel at how small the world was; she could bump into them just walking down the street.
"Captain Andon, you're just going to give away such a big ham like that? What are we going to eat tonight? We can't just eat grass, can we? This ham comes from life too."
A woman named Mostima was the first to express her dissatisfaction, pointing out that there was no law prohibiting hunting in the wild.
Another red-haired girl, Fiammetta, added, "It's a long way from the capital, in the middle of nowhere. And I feel like you've been acting strange ever since you came back from Iberia, Captain. Even if your missionary work failed, there's no need to be so heartbroken."
Huang Cao tossed the large ham in his hand. "I'm sorry, ladies, my prey was just scared away by your respected captain. I have a companion waiting for me to bring back food."
At this moment, a pink-haired woman stepped forward, introduced herself and her companion, and then apologized.
"I'm so sorry, sir, we've caused you trouble. This ham is yours."
Fiammetta pursed her lips, resigned to the fact.
Andon said apologetically to his companion, "I can go pick some berries, or perhaps this gentleman could take pity on us and share some."
