Chapter 59 I wish you immortality

Xia Yu stared at the green spider pattern, finding it increasingly peculiar.

Compared to the other six patterns, this spider always gave him a strange feeling, as if it had a living heart beating within this flat token.

Just as he was about to use his soul power to investigate, Xie Yue suddenly took it away. He squeezed it hard and found that the Pope's Decree had not changed at all.

"Huh, it's so hard."

So he took the bait, just like the stray dogs Xia Yu often saw on the roadside, whose first thought when in doubt was to take a bite.

"Xia Yu, I feel like this is real? You're really not lying to us?"

As if he had used too much force and hurt his teeth, Xie Yue grimaced as he spoke, his words escaping his lips.

He handed the papal decree to Xia Yu; it still had saliva on it.

boom!
Xia Yu couldn't take it anymore. He kicked Xie Yue away and fled from the spot as if he were running away.

"You wash the papal decree clean! Xie Yue, how old are you? You see things with your mouth, don't you?"

"I'll wash, I'll wash, don't go!"

Xie Yue fell to the ground with a thud. As a tough and powerful offensive Soul Master, he didn't feel much pain; he just liked to pretend.

But Xia Yu had already run away. He really didn't understand how Xie Yue, who was already nineteen years old, could still be so childish.

Seeing him, Xia Yu felt as if he were seeing most of the college students he had seen in his past life; there was no glimmer of wisdom in his eyes, only clear stupidity.

'I distinctly remember him being quite reliable in the original story.'

Xia Yu walked down the corridor, pondering as he went, but soon gave up, unable to figure it out.

"Who did this guy learn from?"

"What did you learn from whom?"

Aunt Liu suddenly asked, as she was standing in the storage room, her hands constantly rummaging through things.

"Nothing, nothing."

Xia Yu gave a casual answer and went into the storage room.

In this not-so-small room, the most eye-catching thing is the several large boxes placed in the middle, which are filled with a lot of things.

He went over and casually flipped through them; most of them were broken toys.

Why haven't these been thrown away yet?

As soon as Xia Yu finished speaking, she regretted it, and then Aunt Liu began to read.

"What are you going to throw away? I kept it here to repair it slowly. Don't be fooled by how well the orphanage is doing now. Eight or nine years ago, wasn't it just another neglected department of the Spirit Hall?"

"In the end, we only used this to select talents. The awakened martial spirit and soul power are the foundation for whether you kids can truly live a good life."

Xia Yu interjected, "Didn't we run into Aunt Liu? Everyone calls you Mom."

"Then why didn't you scream?"

Aunt Liu asked a question that left Xia Yu speechless.

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't speak, she opened a box next to her. Inside were toys, which, although clearly repaired, were at least intact and usable.

"If it weren't for that kind person who anonymously donated a large sum of money to our welfare home, we would still be barely managing to survive."

At this point, Aunt Liu sighed, "We still don't know who that benefactor is. If only we could find out his true identity."

Xia Yu nodded, closed the box in front of him, and said, "Since he did this, it proves that he doesn't want people to know his identity. Even if Aunt Liu wanted to go and thank him in person, he might not be willing."

"You're quite the smooth talker. Could it be that His Holiness the Pope values ​​your eloquence?"

Aunt Liu smiled and gently patted Xia Yu's shoulder, jokingly saying...

Xia Yu shrugged and said, "I'm very good at empathizing with people."

"Come on, I think you're just good at bluffing."

"That's not right of you. We've known each other for so many years, and you still can't see any of my good points."

Xia Yu pretended to be sad, raising his hand to cover his face, but Aunt Liu completely ignored his actions. She continued searching for things, smiling warmly.

"I do have a word that perfectly describes you."

"What word?"

Xia Yu asked curiously.

"You're so carefree. The older you get, the more carefree you become. All you think about is eating and drinking. I'm starting to wonder if you're going to turn into a pig someday."

Aunt Liu stabbed Xia Yu in the heart, completely disregarding the bitter smile on Xia Yu's face.

When Xia Yu was a child, she felt that he was too mature and that there was always something hidden in his eyes. She paid close attention to him every day because she was worried that he might go to extremes because of the pain in his past.

When Xia Yu was ten years old, she had her first heart-to-heart talk with him, and he has been like this ever since.

She didn't think it was a big deal; after all, being silly and happy every day was better than having a long face all the time and looking like she was about to commit suicide.

"Aunt Liu, you're not right. I've heard people say that being able to eat a lot is a blessing."

"Then eat it. If you don't want to work hard, you can expect me to live a few more years and help you out for a while longer."

Aunt Liu rolled her eyes and spat lightly.

"Then I hope Aunt Liu lives forever!"

Xia Yu raised his hands and said loudly, which made Aunt Liu laugh.

"No one can live forever, and I'm already old."

She touched the corner of her eye with a touch of sadness; wrinkles had already taken root there.

"Then I'll go find a way to become a god, and then I'll take you, Aunt Liu, with me to immortality!"

Xia Yu said with a smile, gently taking Aunt Liu's hand as she was stroking her wrinkles, interrupting her sadness.

"Alright, alright, you must bring your Aunt Liu along to live a good life when the time comes."

Aunt Liu couldn't help but smile. After chatting with Xia Yu for a while longer, she pushed him out.

"Okay, you go play somewhere else first. We'll talk after I've packed up the things I prepared for you."

Xia Yu gave a perfunctory bow and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, Aunt Liu."

He was greeted by an old pillow thrown at him by Aunt Liu.

"Stop causing trouble here. If you have nothing else to do, go and keep an eye on those little troublemakers. They'll probably be waking up soon."

"Oh."

Xia Yu picked up the old pillow and walked towards the room she used to live in.

Gently push open the door, and you'll find a dimly lit room with several beds. Seven or eight children live in one room. Because they are still young and don't have many belongings, it doesn't feel too crowded.

During nap time, they slept peacefully, their well-behaved appearance showing no trace of their usual mischievousness.

Bibi Dong's previous mention of improving facilities mainly involved expanding the area and rebuilding the houses to provide more and larger rest rooms.

"Hey!"

A hand grabbed his arm from behind. Xia Yu turned his head and saw that it was Xie Yue.

He gently closed the door so as not to wake the noisy children before he began to speak.

"Are you done washing?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue seemed to have something stuck in his throat, his mouth agape for a long time without uttering a sound, and the scene became somewhat tense.

He took out the cleaned papal decree from his soul tool and handed it to Xia Yu.

"not bad."

Xia Yu took the items and headed straight to the next room.

Xie Yue stared at his retreating figure, remained silent for a moment, and finally asked, "Xia Yu, when are you leaving?"
