The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 397 - 333: The Blind Saintess’s Taste Is Still Too Advanced
Chloe looked at Cedric’s face and sighed softly.
What exactly has this kid been through? He looks so miserable... as if anyone who comes along will bully him.
"How is he doing?" Aisha asked, poking her head out stealthily, "Didn’t you pretty much heal him? Why is he still unconscious?"
"His spirit is damaged, and Recovery isn’t strong enough yet to reject mental abnormalities," Chloe said somewhat helplessly, "Didn’t you say you weren’t planning to check on him first? Why did you come over again?"
Aisha pouted as if she wanted to say something but ended up mumbling without speaking out.
Saying outright [I want to see what my son looks like when he grows up] felt a bit too shy.
But not coming to see him felt wrong too.
Even though Aisha had no experience being a mother yet, she felt instinctively that something was off about all this.
"So when did you last see him?"
Chloe asked, curious.
Seeing the way Aisha acted, it wasn’t her first time seeing Cedric.
"Just before we entered the Abyss of Woe," Aisha whispered.
Chloe pursed her lips and gritted her teeth, saying solemnly, "It seems we really got into trouble in the Maze."
Aisha remained silent.
Actually, she realized something was wrong when she saw Cedric struggling desperately.
If nothing had happened to their party and everything had developed for the better, they wouldn’t have needed the kids to fight so hard.
Although she didn’t know how Cedric ended up in this era, she knew that, at least in the future, their ending wouldn’t be good.
"Looks like I’m dead, huh."
Aisha said with a self-deprecating smile.
She hadn’t realized before, but now looking back, seeing the Master of Heaven’s authority in her big son, she knew her fate.
Chloe said in a low voice, "Don’t worry, since we defeated the White Bone Dragon Lord, the predetermined future has already changed."
The Saint is already the most powerful being that the ordinary World Group can send over.
As for Angels... in principle, The Stars allow Angels to descend, but in practice, there are too many restrictions.
Even the Star Gods need consent from The Stars to send an Angel.
After all, a lower-level Divine Power can significantly alter world dynamics, so how could such a variable be allowed into The Stars easily?
While Chloe was contemplating how to deal with this kid, suddenly Rephya’s panicked voice came from not far away.
Chloe’s heart tightened, and he hurried over.
"What’s going on?"
He saw Rephya and others surrounding Laura, who was waving her hand nonchalantly, saying, "It’s really nothing."
"Senior, you are..."
"It’s nothing, just willingly playing the role of a blind girl."
"..."
"Don’t look at me like that, I may be blind, but it’s not like I can’t see..."
"Is it the cost of using the Chosen One’s power?"
Chloe asked with a somewhat serious voice.
Logically, it shouldn’t be.
Sajia isn’t unaware of why Laura obtained power, so it’s unlikely he’d impose such a severe cost.
After careful observation, he negated his earlier assumption:
"...You chose to endure the Divine Power’s erosion on purpose?"
"Yes, the first transformation affected my eyes. My current body couldn’t handle this power, so my eye structure was directly destroyed, but you don’t need to worry."
"..."
"Why the long face? I may have eye issues, but with the Eye of the Sun Chaser granted by a god, I can actually see more things now."
"If this is your own will, then I can’t say much."
Laura smiled without explaining.
There were many reasons she chose this path, and her thoughts have changed from years before.
So she didn’t feel wronged at all, instead, she felt a sort of relief.
Lilith, on the other hand, said thoughtfully, "With what you’ve done, I’m afraid the Church of the Child of the Sun Chaser will come looking for you soon."
"Yes, I’ve expected that."
"The Saintess’ position in the current generation of the Church of the Child of the Sun Chaser is still vacant, only candidates. Given your situation, you’ll probably replace the other candidates soon."
Laura shrugged, and then the little munchkin passed her a piece of fruit.
"..."
"Senior, I’ll feed you."
"Hey! I can see; I’m not actually blind!"
"It’s okay. Even if you can see, I’ll feed you."
Laura could only accept this feeding behavior with amusement and said earnestly:
"I truly don’t think I’m pitiful, and besides, this way I can unlock new ways to play around."
Rephya blurted out, "What new game, silent sadism?"
Chloe: "..."
Lilith: "..."
Aisha: "..."
Fufu: "Interesting, I’ll try it next time."
Nini showed a disgusted expression.
Crunch crunch~
A strange sound reached their ears, and everyone turned their gaze to Fratiss.
Fratiss tilted her head and offered the chip in her hand, "Wanna try?"
Her expression was that of a bystander enjoying the drama.
Lilith gave Chloe a disapproving look, as if saying, "It’s all your fault that the little munchkin learned bad habits."
Chloe didn’t dare to retort.
Strictly speaking, he did teach the little munchkin many things he shouldn’t have.
Now seeing Lilith’s expression, it was a bit awkward for a moment.
On the contrary, Laura casually pulled out a black lace band, wrapped it around her eyes, and her usual nonchalant expression slightly disappeared. She clasped her hands together with a compassionate look.
I must admit, she really does look a bit like a blindfolded saintess.
What fireproof lady!
Chloe was at a loss for words.
[But it does look pretty good]
Laura was always too free-spirited, a pretty good-looking girl, turning herself into a tomboy with her big sisterly behavior.
Now she exudes quite a bit of femininity.
Fufu murmured, "Isn’t it pretty?"
"Of course..." Chloe started, "It’s just a bit less than our Fufu."
"How is that possible, the blindfolded saintess, senior... those buffs are maxed out, I can’t compare."
Chloe quickly responded, "Queen, elf, senior... don’t you have more buffs?"
"So should I call you consort?"
"It’s not out of the question, but I’d rather you call me ba~"
Bang bang~
Chloe got two big lumps on his head as Fufu gently held his cheeks and said, "Oh my, Xiaoke, how did you accidentally get hurt?!"
"Yes, quite a fall!" Chloe said earnestly while holding his head, fleeing.
His eyes darted around as he tried to think of some way to avoid an Asura Field eruption.
He really felt innocent.
There was nothing between Laura and him, so why was Fufu angry?
Uh...
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, slapped his forehead, and showed a speechless expression.
Cedric, Cedric, you’ve really done me in this time.
Aisha is still too naive.
She hadn’t realized that among everyone, the first person to notice Cedric’s true identity would definitely be Fufu.
As someone who once wielded the [Eye of Truth], the Elf Queen, even if she had passed on that power, still had her experience.
She saw through Cedric’s real identity at a glance.
... During the Age of the Seven Heroes, Kai also tried to disguise himself as someone from that era, but Stuart saw through him immediately.
It was only Kai pretending he wasn’t exposed.
Cedric’s situation was very similar to back then, how could she not see through it?
Seeing an old flame of her lover suddenly showing up with a child, it’s understandable she felt a bit off.
"Ah, he’s awake."
Aisha’s voice suddenly came from the side.
Chloe’s eyes lit up.
[Worthy of being my son, even in times like this, he can help relieve my pressure]
Chloe immediately said, "Let me handle it!"
He then hurried over to check Cedric’s condition.
...
Cedric slowly regained consciousness while lying on the ground.
Upon opening his eyes, he instinctively reached for his waist, only for a hand to press against the back of his hand.
"Stay put and rest, there are no enemies here."
The previously tense Cedric suddenly relaxed.
Realizing the true identity of the person beside him, he started to feel conflicted, "Was it you who saved me?"
Chloe, looking at his conflicted son, replied irritably, "It was your dad who saved you."
"..."
This banter that somehow seemed both insulting and straightforward made Cedric unable to contain a smile.
Seeing the person who haunted his dreams standing before him, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, his expression became particularly twisted.
"And what about that monster?"
"Slaughtered," Chloe said casually, "Why keep it alive? For cooking?"
"..."
Cedric’s expression became even more indescribable.
In his memory, this man was always cold and serious.
Since when had he become capable of making jokes?
He silently glanced at his mother and ultimately said nothing, just lowered his head and played dead.
"Long time no see meow, Chloe, I’m hungry meow!"
A quirky voice mewled from the side, and Chloe looked over at Elu, rolled his eyes, and said:
"Elu, you’ve done well!"
"So can I ask you..."
"Ask my ass! You’ve hidden yourself well. I didn’t even notice anything was wrong with you."
Elu smiled sheepishly, not daring to speak.
Though Cedric was certainly the closest to it, the male head of the house had undeniable authority.
Originally, it had hidden itself well, planning to divert attention to help the male head.
But who knew Cedric had also decided to come over.
In the end, both juniors got caught by their seniors in the Abyss of Woe, surely feeling like guilty kids summoned by parents.
Well... in a way, the people present really were their parents.
Elu’s furry ears drooped down, "Don’t be mad meow, I was wrong meow."
"What did you do wrong?"
"I was too weak meow!" Elu declared righteously, "If I were strong enough, there wouldn’t be any problems meow!"
Damn, it actually makes a good point.
