The Strange Relationship, Fu Luo's Position
Lin Yu silently swallowed the tea in his mouth, quickly pondering the nature of the relationship between Fu Luo and Nightless Sky Huo Le.
First of all, they could not possibly be father and daughter by blood.
Even disregarding age, the Nightless Sky Huo Le looks exactly like the Nightless Sky Huo Shu.
Black hair, red eyes, thin lips.
And those beautiful, almost alluring, fox-like eyes.
Therefore, Lin Yu couldn't help but wonder if "Father" was a special, ambiguous term of address between the two of them.
But Lin Yu quickly rejected the idea himself.
Nightless Sky Huo Le, although she is close to Fu Luo, their relationship is definitely not like that of lovers or anything ambiguous.
Could it be that the Nightless Sky Huo Le before us is actually Artificial Humans like Stiller, Fu Luo made some kind of contribution to her creation?
While this does fit the description of "father in a certain sense," it also seems a bit off...
Because the girl in front of me looked like a completely natural person.
The use of "Father" earlier also carried a hint of teasing and jest.
It can't be his godfather, can it?
Lin Yu couldn't find an answer right away, so he could only try to gloss over it for now.
"It's so hot..."
Lin Yu pretended to have burned his tongue with the tea and gently inhaled the cool air.
Seeing Lin Yu's state, Nightless Sky Huo Le also expressed his concern.
"Hey, be careful! Do you need some burn cream?"
After Lin Yu shook his head in refusal, Nightless Sky Huo Le immediately spoke up as well.
"It seems you still have some reservations about this identity," Nightless Sky Huo Le said with a smile. "I don't feel anything about it, so why can't you accept it?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu calmly analyzed the new information and gleaned new insights.
It seems Fu Luo isn't very enthusiastic or satisfied with being the father of Nightless Sky Huo Le?
Upon receiving this new information, Lin Yu appeared somewhat sullen and spoke vaguely.
"You have to give me some time to accept this..."
But it was just these somewhat vague words.
The Nightless Sky Huo Le, who had been behaving gently, friendly, and even somewhat enthusiastically from the moment he entered, suddenly turned cold.
"Sherlock, don't think you still have a choice."
Nightless Sky Huo Le stood up, his fiery red eyes fixed on Lin Yu's face.
"Perhaps you are not afraid of my methods, but you know what your mother's methods are."
"As the head of the Nightless Sky Family Head the Chosen of God of this generation, neither you nor I have the right to disobey Mother... So, let's accept reality."
"Nightless Sky Huo Le said coldly."
"Go with me to pay your respects to Mother later... I hope you can win her favor this time too."
As he spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le stood up and walked behind Lin Yu, his voice suddenly softening.
"Actually, I really admire you. Don't worry, as long as Mother dies, I will give you everything you deserve... whatever you want, I will give you."
She gently stroked Lin Yu's face, her voice soft as she spoke.
"Sherlock, Sherlock, I know what kind of life you 'Otherworlder' lead, living on the edge of death... I understand you very well, because I am the same."
"If I don't become the Family Head, I will die—we are all the same, like cicadas in autumn twilight..."
"But as long as you can win over my mother, as long as you can keep her believing that I am the most suitable heir, I can live..."
"As long as I control the Nightless Sky Family... I will ensure that you can live on forever."
As she spoke, Nightless Sky Huo Le suddenly tightened her slender, pale hand, gripping Lin Yu's throat.
Lin Yu felt his breath catch in his throat and instinctively tried to pry open Nightless Sky Huo Le's hands.
But this thin, seemingly frail woman possessed terrifying strength, gripping Lin Yu's throat like a steel clamp.
"You must believe me, you absolutely must believe me, Sherlock, you are the only one I can trust... My biological father is dead, and I can't trust anyone in this family, in this city, in this world. I can only trust you, this 'Otherworlder'."
"Sherlock, you too, we can only survive by trusting each other."
The voice of the Nightless Sky Huo Le was extremely gentle, which contrasted sharply with her gradually tightening grip.
But Lin Yu Leng Jing down at this moment.
He loosened his grip on her resisting hand—in fact, if he had gone all out, with Lin Yu now possessing five times the strength of his normal state and using various methods to enhance his physique, he might not have been unable to pry open Nightless Sky Huo Le.
They might even break her hand if they're caught off guard.
But that wasn't the kind of strength Fu Luo should have.
Moreover, Lin Yu realized that Nightless Sky Huo Le did not actually want to kill him.
"It seems that all the 'Noble' in this world really do have serious mental problems and personality flaws, just in different ways..."
"I originally thought that Nightless Sky Huo Le was more normal than her Older Brother, but now it seems they're both equally bad... Fu Luo, then I'm curious why you rejected Nightless Sky Huo Shu last time."
"However... now I completely understand why Fu Luo holds such a high position, why even President Paris doesn't dare to underestimate him, and why the two siblings, heirs of the Nightless Sky Family, are vying for his attention..."
"So this guy is the gigolo for the mother of the Nightless Fire Music and Nightless Fire Tree, the current head of the Nightless Family!"
Thinking of this, Lin Yu recalled the words of the Nightless Sky Huo Shu and felt a little like laughing.
That narcissistic naked man was a master of subtle writing; he mentioned so many people supporting him and even brought up his father, making Lin Yu think he was already in a safe position.
After all that fuss, it turns out the current Family Head of the Nightless Sky Family isn't his father at all, but rather his and Huo Le's mother—in other words, his father is actually on par with Fu Luo, at most the difference between a principal wife and a favored concubine.
Nightless Sky Huo Le was clearly the one his mother preferred...
This vote alone carries more weight than all the nonsensical, rambling chatter from the Nightless Sky Huo Shu.
Furthermore, President Paris is also a member of the Nightless Sky Huo Le faction, so it seems that the two sides are indeed evenly matched— Nightless Sky Huo Le might even have the upper hand.
Of course, Nightless Sky Huo Le's current manic state, Lin Yu felt that she must be under considerable pressure.
Thinking about this, Lin Yu felt his thinking become somewhat sluggish—the prolonged lack of blood supply during breathing had caused severe oxygen deprivation in his brain, to the point that it was beginning to affect his thinking.
He gently patted Nightless Sky Huo Le's forearm, indicating that he was about to pass out.
Nightless Sky Huo Le released Lin Yu.
Although he hadn't reached his limit yet, considering Fu Luo's physical condition, Lin Yu was still panting heavily and looked like he was about to faint.
Having roughly figured out the inner workings of the Nightless Sky Family and Fu Luo's position, Lin Yu's mind was clear, and he began his performance without any pressure.
He looked at Nightless Sky Huo Le, his expression showing displeasure. "You might as well just strangle me! Just strangle me right here in the tea room! What will your mother think if she finds out you strangled me? Will she still be able to be the Family Head!"
