CHAPTER 652: 610 FA ZHENG’S WEAPON

Half an hour later, we completed the intimate interaction phase as requested by Little Bowl. Due to the age-inappropriate nature of the specific process, I won’t elaborate further here.

The entire time, Little Bowl, this "child," supervised us from the side. Although it was supervision in name, it was only at the very beginning. From the middle, Little Bowl’s gaze shifted from being somewhat serious to watching with great interest, almost as if she was watching a play, occasionally touching her lips as if imagining something.

This situation, with a spectator’s gaze, made me feel embarrassed, and Zhu Shi was even blushing all the way to her ears. I could feel her heartbeat racing against my side.

After everything ended, she gasped for breath, wiped the moisture from the corners of her mouth, and gave me a resentful glance before looking at the smiling Little Bowl, letting out a long sigh, "Before, I was always toyed with by you and Mazao as a team, and now I feel like I’ve become the plaything of the three of you..."

"If it made you uncomfortable, I apologize. Maybe I got too carried away, causing you to have bad memories," I said.

"No, it’s not like I really dislike it... It actually feels quite nice," Zhu Shi’s voice grew smaller, "If... if it was just the two of us, Senior Brother Zhuang wants to do like we just did, I’d be very willing to cooperate with you..."

Upon saying this, Zhu Shi seemed to feel that she accidentally said something shameless and couldn’t bear the shyness any longer, fleeing from the scene.

Turns out she seems to like it too.

This was quite unexpected to me. All along, I thought she only cooperated with me out of necessity and a sense of service, half pushing and half accepting. Logically, she shouldn’t have any desires in this regard.

But thinking it over, perhaps it’s not that strange. Even if not for reproductive desires, humans can experience comfort and happiness from hugging and kissing, and there seems to be scientific research supporting this.

If it comes to the "final step," then perhaps things would be different. Although Zhu Shi certainly wouldn’t refuse me, it’s unlikely she’d show enthusiasm like with hugging and kissing.

Thinking this, I couldn’t help but look at the petite Little Bowl.

The thought that Zhu Shi’s desires were currently residing in Little Bowl made me feel like the world might truly be entering a mad "Age of Decline."

"Could it be that when you’re watching me and Zhu Shi do those things, you also have such thoughts?" I asked.

"Brother Zhuang Cheng, even if you have those thoughts, you shouldn’t ask about them openly," Little Bowl retorted.

"I’m just a bit curious," I said.

Little Bowl replied righteously, "Even curiosity doesn’t mean you can ask!"

Then she hesitated, yet answered my question seriously, "Of course, I would have those thoughts. After all, to be precise, I’m not an actual little girl, just something strange that looks like one. It’s quite normal to have some instinctual reactions that don’t match my appearance.

"However, if I were to engage in intimate interactions with someone I like, it would mean I’m progressing the fulfillment of an innate mission centered on myself. In other words, I might become so happy that I’d ascend to bliss before helping Zhu Shi achieve happiness first."

"Did you just say something quite astonishing..." I said.

Little Bowl let my words go in one ear and out the other, approaching me and hugging my waist, rubbing her soft cheek against my body.

"So... for now, I’ll endure with a hug," she said softly.

I followed suit in embracing her, patting her back. After all, Little Bowl was too small, so it was difficult to truly have such thoughts. Then I realized the flaw in her words and asked, "Are you admitting you like me?"

Little Bowl replied seriously, "What I mean is that although Brother Zhuang Cheng likes me, Little Bowl I cannot accept this forbidden love, so Brother Zhuang Cheng can settle for hugging me to bear with it."

As she said this, she released my waist and continued, "Now, I’m going to check on Zhu Shi’s cultivation status. Brother Zhuang Cheng, you should first head to Fa Zheng. If there are any issues, consult me through the ’Firefly.’ I will do my utmost to assist you."

"Alright, see you later," I said.

Afterward, I arrived at Fa Zheng’s residence and went directly into the same meeting room as last time.

Fa Zheng hadn’t arrived yet, so I sat on the sofa waiting and saw some scattered documents on the coffee table. Perhaps Fa Zheng occasionally came to this meeting room alone to sit and handle some paperwork. The documents on the coffee table were related to the deities at the Evangelical Institute.

Yama, Shentu, King Zhuanlun, and the deceased Huang Quan and Tai Sui... Those deities were once the Great Impermanence of Luo Mountain, making it easy to find related materials there. I’ve also asked Lu Chan for assistance in organizing the materials and reviewed them thoroughly. Fa Zheng certainly doesn’t need these documents to understand the details about those deities, having even had very long collaborative experiences with them. These paper documents can be considered tools to aid Fa Zheng in analyzing enemy plans.

It appears that even for Fa Zheng, King Zhuanlun is enigmatic to the extent that it’s almost impossible to gather much information about him; and Shentu’s information is also scarce, with only the knowledge of being a Great Impermanence who died long ago.

In the era historically referred to as the mythological period, there were more than just the Great Impermanence with the power to change the world. In more modern times before the signs of Doomsday’s descent, strange phenomena waned, where a demon of Yinyue’s Great Success Rank is considered the peak of strange phenomena, higher grade anomalies could only be found in human Great Impermanence. This human-dominated era was not a given but was paved step by step by ancient Great Impermanence like Gua Tianshi, Yama, and Xuanming.

Xuanming’s extremely rich combat experience was presumably accumulated mainly during that era.

It’s no wonder Evangelical Institute Master Yama could so cold-heartedly endorse the plan for human slaughter. Perhaps in his view, today’s human civilization is built on the cultivation by them, these gods, thus he believes he has the right to negate it as well.

Shentu is also a Great Impermanence from that era. Based on past intelligence, the current Shentu is essentially a Great Demon simulated by Naraku Gospel, though it’s unclear why he became a deity of the Evangelical Institute.

As for Huang Quan and Tai Sui... the former’s information matches what I originally knew, just with more details; while the latter seems to be an ordinary Great Impermanence.

Although describing a Great Impermanence as "ordinary" seems somewhat odd, across all the Great Impermanence in Luo Mountain’s history, Tai Sui had no unusual traits. Known as an elderly-looking Great Impermanence, he was calm and peaceful, disliking conflicts, and had no notable standout deeds.

Compared to some Great Impermanence who liked to display miracles and show power, Tai Sui led a low-profile life, having few believers. If it weren’t for many clues pointing to his relationship with the divine seal, I’d doubt whether he was the Master of the Divine Seal at all.

At this moment, the door to the meeting room opened, and Fa Zheng finally arrived.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," he said.

"I just got here not long ago."

I responded simply while observing him closely, as his current appearance was quite different from usual, holding an intricate and formidable silver-white long spear in hand.

This display clearly indicated he was ready for battle in advance, and since he held this weapon so openly, it was evidently not ordinary steel. However, for now, I couldn’t sense what kind of mana was contained within this weapon, even feeling as if it was empty inside.

Yet, my intuition kept delivering opposite conclusions, suggesting the potential total power of this weapon likely far surpassed my Ash Weapon.
