Chapter 301

"The date is coming to an end, and I'm looking forward to seeing you again. But before that, I need to collect some interest."

Throughout his century-long journey through the Milky Way, whenever Acheron tasted a new delicacy, the sensation it brought to his Acheron would remind Acheron of Chen Li.

This is a mark that even Nihility cannot erase.

Acheron has lost a lot, but this trace of taste remains unchanged, and therefore its importance in Acheron's heart is becoming more and more prominent.

Of course, taste is not important; what's more important is the person.

As a result, while walking on the road of searching for Nihility, most Remembrance gradually become blurred with the passage of time, but the Remembrance related to Chen Li become clearer and clearer.

On his journey of pursuing Nihility, Acheron gradually came to understand one thing: the most precious things are always the most ordinary and common. For example, air and water, and... taste.

A century of longing has come true in this day, giving the Acheron no time to prepare.

Fortunately, a certain Envoy of Joy volunteered, prepared to die, and allowed Acheron to release some of the emotions that had been pent up for a long time and had gradually become more precious because even Nihility could not erase them. Otherwise, Chen Li, who had fallen into Acheron's hands, would definitely have been in a terrible state!

Since this relationship was sealed by taste, it should naturally end with taste as well.

Savoring the sweetness in his mouth and the lingering warmth on Acheron's lips and teeth, Chen Li realized just how delicious the candy he had fed Acheron was...

But it's unclear whether the deliciousness comes from people or sugar.

"Miss Acheron ...you don't look like a local. Do you need me to find a way to help you leave this planet? Old Sampo still has some connections. He can find a way to help you repair this Acheron." In a snowy field, a blue-haired man wearing a red and white vest asked enthusiastically, rubbing his hands together.

"How long have I been gone?" Acheron suddenly asked.

"How long have you been gone? I haven't left. Are you... are you alright?" Sampo was a little scared.

Is this woman having a fit of hysteria?

No, no, we have to find a way to get her off this planet as soon as possible!

That's too dangerous!

What divine law did Jarilo break to attract this great god here?

Sampo doesn't believe it's just a coincidence.

"You didn't leave?" Sampo's words didn't seem fake, but the lingering sweetness in his mouth and the warmth in his hands made Acheron believe that the reunion had really happened.

Seeing the Friends Circle Terminal in my hand further confirmed the authenticity of the reunion.

Acheron also has Friends Circle Terminal, but it was damaged during his hundred-year journey.

Therefore, Acheron got the hang of the new Friends Circle Terminal very quickly.

Looking at that familiar profile picture on his Friends Circle Terminal, Acheron's slight anxiety finally disappeared.

Sampo, observing Acheron's expression, noticed the strange object in his hand that resembled a cell phone. He felt it looked familiar, as if he had seen it in the Underworld...

Where exactly is it?

"You seem to be a little afraid of me," Acheron suddenly said.

"No, no, not at all." Sampo shook his head frantically, the little bit of inspiration that had just popped into his head was gone.

Sampo now only wishes that this old lady would leave this world as soon as possible.

Great God of Fun above...

"Great God of Fun, can you leave me now?" Sparkle mumbled, lying on the ground.

"Ah, you're finally willing to open your eyes and face reality?" Chen Li stood up from Sparkle's body.

"Why are you sitting on me when you and Acheron are having a romantic conversation?" Sparkle collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up.

My neck is numb from sitting.

"Isn't this to give you a sense of participation?" Chen Li waved his hand.

The entire dating area was cleaved in two by Acheron's three sword strikes, leaving only Sparkle's "corpse" as the only remaining structure with some elevation difference.

Chen Li couldn't possibly let Acheron sit on him, could he?

In that case, who knows what unexpected things might happen?

"..." Sparkle didn't want to say anything.

The Aeon of Joy bestowed power upon Sparkle, allowing Sparkle to understand what it meant to Emanator.

Today's battle with Acheron made Sparkle realize that the difference between Emanator might be even greater than the difference between Emanator and Pathstrider.

Before that Envoy of Nothingness should never have existed, Sparkle lost all her strength and means.

Sparkle truly admires herself for being able to hold out against the opponent for so long, and only died four or five times.

Fortunately for Sparkle, she managed to stall Chen Li for half an hour...

"Speaking of Sparkle, I should thank you, Hanabi."

"Thank me for what?"

"If it weren't for your appearance that allowed Acheron to vent his anger, I would hardly imagine what Acheron would have done to me in a normal reunion..." Chen Li noticed that Acheron's eyes seemed a little strange when he saw Acheron again.

There was a feeling of wanting to eat Chen Li.

"However, because you didn't satisfy Acheron, some of Acheron state remains..." Chen Li touched his mouth.

Chen Li's lips were a little swollen.

Awkward and forceful—that's Chen Li's assessment of Acheron.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't satisfy Lord Acheron. So, could you help me up?" Sparkle asked, lying on the floor of the karaoke room.

Chen Li wasn't entirely lying when he told Acheron about their date. At least Sparkle did take Chen Li out for drinks, but it was at a karaoke bar, not a bar.

Sparkle wasn't lying. Because the drinks offered at the KTV were too monotonous, Chen Li upgraded his bartending skills to level 10 and made Sparkle a drink. That drink tasted really good.

"Didn't you revive at full health after using the Resurrection Card? Why can't you even stand up?" Chen Li threw Sparkle onto the sofa... and continued to lie there.

"I did revive at full health, but you two sat on my butt for 5 minutes! 5 minutes! Do you know how I got through those 5 minutes?" Sparkle complained.

For those five minutes, Sparkle didn't dare to utter a single sound.

Fearing that he might disturb the enjoyment of the two gentlemen above, he feared being hanged up and whipped by the enraged Acheron.

This has caused Sparkle to experience numbness all over her body.

"I happen to know massage, which can help relax muscles and improve blood circulation..."

"Oh." Sparkle did not refuse.

After all, Sparkle needs to do now is to help Silver Wolf stall Chen Li as much as possible.

Sparkle felt like she had the worst luck in the world to accept Silver Wolf's request!

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle, be gentle..." But the next moment, Sparkle regretted it.

Chen Li's grip strength is truly formidable.

"It's to relax your muscles and improve circulation. Pain is normal. Take a deep breath... I'll try to help you recover within 2 minutes." Chen Li pressed hard on Sparkle's back.

Why 2 minutes?

"Sparkle, you should remember how long we've been at this karaoke bar, right?"

"About half an hour, what's wrong?"

"To be precise, it took a total of 28 minutes from the Gong Zao Division to the karaoke bar, including singing, drinking, mixing, and tasting."

"So what?"

"Sparkle, you haven't forgotten, have you? Once you enter the Invitation Space, real time is frozen, which means..."

"So that means!!" Sparkle suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Sparkle really forgot!

You mean I kept you waiting in the Invitation Space for half an hour, but didn't even spend a second outside, right?

No! This is so cruel!

So what does it mean that I confronted the Acheron for 25 minutes in the Fate Invitation Space and died 5 times?

"That means there are only 2 minutes left before our duel. Oh, no. One minute... You should be recovered by now. If not, we'll use Senzu Beans. No, I need to drag you to the agreed location first before giving you Senzu Beans, so you don't run away. Hmm, Sparkle, where are you going?" Chen Li had just finished speaking when he saw Sparkle supporting herself with her hands, dragging her body as she quickly crawled out.

The reason she didn't run out on her own was because Sparkle's legs had gone numb after Chen Li sat on them for 5 minutes.

"No, I have to escape..."

"Don't run away!" Chen Li grabbed Sparkle's right foot.

"Please be gentle..." Sparkle showed her true, delicate nature at this moment.

Are your feet numb?

"..."

"Are your feet numb?"

"... Mom." Sparkle looked humiliated.

"... I asked you if your feet are numb? Never mind, there's nothing to say to you, let's go! We'll just feed her Senzu Beans when we get there!" Chen Li grabbed Sparkle's ankle and dragged Sparkle into the spatial tunnel he had opened.

"No, please don't do such a cruel thing to me..." Sparkle tugged at the sofa.

However, at the critical moment, Sparkle flipped over and landed face down.

You can't face down, what if it flattens your chest?

"Accept your fate, Sparkle. Don't worry, I will love you dearly."

"..." The light in Sparkle's eyes gradually faded.

Sparkle would rather Chen Li wasn't just saying it.

If all else fails, just drag me to bed.

My fingers are very nimble!

"What If you're dragging Sparkle, then what's always been beside me..." Pardo narrowed her eyes as she watched Chen Li, dragging Sparkle, walk out of the spatial passage.

"Aha!" A sudden burst of laughter nearly startled Pardo into a state of shock.

"God of Fun!" Because she always hung out with Sparkle, Pardo also started calling the Aeon of Joy "God of Fun."

"Little kitten, are you surprised? Unexpected? Happy?" Aha once again hid behind countless masks.

"Wait, you were discussing business with me for half an hour just now..."

"That's right, I was just kidding."

"!!!"

"Damn you, God of Fun! Give me back my deposit!" Pardo exploded.

Supernatural powers cannot overcome fate; Pardo's luck still couldn't help her escape the targeted attacks of the Aeon of Joy!

While the Stupidity Halo is certainly useful, Aha is still a member of the group.

They were all taught by the same Aqua, so I can't break her moves!

"Hehe!" A ghost mask stood out from the masks in front of Aha.

"Boss! Someone's bullying me!" Pardo shouted with a strong voice, choosing to ask for help!

"I can't do anything about calling me..." Chen Li shook his head helplessly.

"Is there really no other way?"

"It's not entirely without a solution... After Lily Bell's nurturing over this period, the God Slayer inscription on her chainsaw has become even brighter, and it can be used to forge Miraculous Item."

"I understand... I'd rather betray the gods than let the gods betray me! I, Pardo, am no pushover either!" Pardo understood instantly.

"You two are really boring." Aha threw the deposit he had tricked from Pardo back to Pardo.

Aha wasn't interested in Credits; Aha was only interested in having fun. After seeing Pardo's fun, Aha was satisfied.

"Just kidding, what kind of bad intentions would a cat have? But is the business deal we just discussed really hopeless?" Pardo still held a sliver of hope.

"What kind of business?" Chen Li asked, somewhat curious.

"Aha just said he could take me to Jarilo VI to sell popsicles and parasols. We're sure to make a fortune! With the two of us working together, we'll have no competitors there."
