The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 263 - 199: A Slender Thread of Fate (Two in One)
The crimson sunset slowly melted at the end of Heaven’s steps, and dusk turned the sky’s hue to pale pink. An Su really couldn’t refuse Merlin’s request, so he thought of going home to report back and incidentally collect the gifts from the Cultists.
After leaving the Magic Association, going down ten floors, and returning home, the sky had already darkened considerably.
"Where’s my Children’s Day gift?"
As soon as An Su, the lad, spoke, he inquired about his Children’s Day gift. He had just made a wish to the Cultists, and according to festival customs and traditional rules, the Cultists should bring him the forbidden taboo knowledge, gold treasures, and mature big sisters as gifts for Children’s Day.
If the young An Su wasn’t sorted out today, the Cultists themselves would become the mature big sisters by tomorrow.
"...They are all in the warehouse," Miss Enya said, tilting her head as she looked at An Su.
In the past hour, a good dozen people had delivered gifts to the house; it seemed these Cultists really couldn’t find An Su and, in desperation, had delivered the gifts directly to his home.
The Cultists from the three major Sects, in order to preserve their own ’bulls’, brought out their skills, and thoughtfully prepared a variety of Children’s Day gifts for An Su, producing their treasured possession from the bottom of their chests.
Diamond rings the size of pebbles, small mounds of Church Nation Gold Coins, as well as crystals and enamels, and Obsidians and Rubies shining with dazzling luster; for An Su, this petty cash lacked sincerity.
He felt that money and such material things were external possessions; An Su was not so vulgar and materialistic, and he didn’t have much interest in money.
He accepted them with some reluctance.
The truly sincere Believers were those who didn’t follow conventional paths.
For example, evil forbidden knowledge, the Ladder Sect brought An Su the "Chaotic Empire’s Banned Books for those under sixteen."
As for powerful equipment and magic tools, the geniuses from the Pain Sect sent over the treasured ’Human Fat Candles,’ ordinary High-Rank weapons ’Blood-breaking Whips,’ and the legendary gag magic tool ’Gagging Spell.’
The Cultists from the Oceanic Sect really bled themselves dry, bringing overnight the freshest king crabs, deep-sea squids, abalone... and even a nearly extinct Golden Tuna that had been fished... An Su used to drink this fish’s soup every day as a child, pity that for some reason, he was unable to drink it after growing up.
An Su felt a sense of warmth for this gift; that’s what thoughtful and progressive good Cultists were like.
"Why do I feel like there’s a category missing?"
After inspecting all the gifts in the warehouse, An Su exhibited a somewhat confused expression. He furrowed his brow and turned his gaze towards the maid.
"No more, just these gifts."
Miss Enya smiled as she watched An Su, with her amber-clear eyes devoid of any extra emotion. Though her face held a smile, it was devoid of much feeling, and she calmly stated a fact, "No other things."
"But I remember there were three wishes..." An Su muttered.
"Young master, I haven’t seen any other gifts." Enya tilted her head, her slender fingers resting on lips soft as cherry blossoms. As though contemplating, she bit her nails and after a moment revealed a look of realization.
"Oh, right, I remember now."
"There were indeed," An Su nodded. "Where are my beauties?"
"Some stuff I thought was trash, so I packed it up and threw it in the nearest garbage dump," Enya said, tilting her head calmly. "Would you like me to take you to the garbage dump to look for them?"
"Would you like to go see it?" Miss Enya asked with a smile.
"..." An Su fell silent. Continue reading on novelbuddy
After a bit, he shook his head, "No need, if it’s thrown away, then it’s thrown away."
In truth, he wasn’t too interested in the third category of gifts; who knew what breed of creature a Witch from the Mixed Cult was – the real gender might even be old gentlemen.
However, An Su was rather dissatisfied with Miss Enya’s behavior; after all, those were living people, living lives, how could you just throw them away?
"Remember to keep the next batch for me," An Su expressed regretfully. "I’m still waiting to use them for a sacrifice."
An Su had made the wish for a Beauty Trap, hoping to receive some offerings from the genius Cultists – perhaps the prettier Cultists would be more to the Mother Goddess’s taste.
He criticized Enya’s sense of environmental consciousness, "Remember to dispose of the trash harmlessly in the future; as the most devout Radiant Saints, we must be environmentally conscious, understood?"
"I apologize." Miss Enya said, willing to rectify her error, "I’ll be careful next time."
She paused before continuing,
"They hope to meet with you."
Miss Enya, acting in her capacity as a personal maid, continued to report to An Su, "And they asked me to tell you that if you agree to meet them, they have more forbidden gifts waiting for you, guaranteed to make you a man overnight."
What shady uncles luring little boys.
Such abduction tricks should have been obsolete long ago.
An Su thought that these Cultists must be driven to desperation to resort to such ’a dog jumping over the wall’ tactics.

"If you don’t go, the worst could happen."
"I’ve been observing them for a long time; I’ve seen many of their kind. They appear submissive on the surface, but secretly harbor rebellious thoughts, truly despicable and shameless people." Enya blinked her eyes, analyzing seriously, "According to my deduction, they will raid the mansion tonight and forcefully abduct you."
