"you……"
After a brief internal struggle, Milo finally couldn't resist his desire and gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, I'll go find Shura. That guy is good at this kind of rough work, but you have to finish telling me the story when I get back."
"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word, and I never cheat anyone, young or old."
Jia Long patted his chest and said.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Milo immediately rushed out of the stone house and went to find Shura in another stone house not far away.
After Milo left.
Aphrodite, who had been pretending not to care but secretly listening intently, asked curiously:
"Garon, what happened next? Was the female teacher hurt? Seriously, those boys went too far!"
"Excessive? Aphrodite, your thought process is truly unique. Why don't you say this teacher is too willful?"
"Mom says that being willful is a woman's prerogative! She's beautiful, so why can't she be willful?"
"Does being beautiful give you the right to be capricious?"
"Beautiful women really can be capricious!"
"Uh, I'm not going to argue with you about this anymore. Anyway, if you want to keep listening to the story, go find me some water and food. I'm starving after walking and fighting all day!"
Jia Long waved his hand, too lazy to argue with Aphrodite any further.
But Aphrodite remained relentless:
"What, do girls have to pay to hear stories?"
"Girls also need to pay, thank you."
Jia Long coldly rejected Aphrodite, jokingly saying that paying to hear a story is a matter of course, regardless of gender.
Is it easy for me to make up a story?
Speaking of Aphrodite, even though he has realized that he is a boy, he still prefers to live in the world of girls. He's hopeless!
after an hour……
Milo carried in, panting heavily, carrying a huge stone bed. He was drenched in sweat, and the task was indeed quite arduous for him.
"That bastard Shura promised to help me move it down, but he just chopped down the rocks and ran away!"
On the other side, Aphrodite also came in carrying a pot of water and a piece of black bread. Although he wasn't sweating profusely, his face was full of pain.
"In the entire training camp, only Aldebaran had food. I used an entire bottle of rose oil to get this piece of black bread!"
The two men complained as they set up the stone bed and handed bread and water to Jia Long.
"Galon, now it's time for you to keep your promise, isn't it?"
"I'm starving, I need to eat something first."
Jalon picked up the black bread and took a bite. With a loud "crunch," he nearly broke his tooth. He looked at Aphrodite in surprise.
Are you sure this is bread, and not a brick?
"Everyone's eating this, do you want foie gras and caviar? This is a sacred place!"
Aphrodite snorted, "His Holiness the Pope said that only harsh environments can cultivate outstanding fighters. Therefore, even black bread is not enough for everyone. Each person can only have one loaf a day. Only Aldebaran, who helps in the kitchen, has some left. If you don't want to eat, then go hungry!"
"I go."
Jia Long was somewhat speechless. Back in Sparta, although the training was tough, the food and drink were decent, at least maintaining the basic dignity of a nobleman.
I never imagined that the Holy Land would be so austere and frugal!
How can one live like this?
"Don't be picky. That's just how the Holy Land is. You'll feel much better in a couple of years."
"Why is the Holy Land improving its food?"
"Who said we need to improve our meals? The meals haven't changed in over 200 years. What I mean is, you'll get used to it in a couple of years, and your teeth will be stronger enough to chew through stones!"
Jia Long ate the black bread as if grinding his teeth.
Milo and Aphrodite, who had been waiting impatiently, hurriedly said, "Galon, you've eaten, drunk, and have a bed. Can we continue our conversation now?"
"Okay, next up, a young man named How Poor appeared..."
Chapter 9: Teaching! The Unscientific Microcosm (Part 1)
How poor?
"Yes, he's also a teacher at the school. He's handsome with dark skin. He's always had a crush on Yui Keishin. He secretly accompanies her to work overtime every day and waits silently outside the classroom, just so he can catch a glimpse of her."
"At the crucial moment, He Duoqiong rushed in and landed a punch squarely on Yuanzhi's nose, the leader of the group of boys. Blood gushed from Yuanzhi's nose, which was crooked to one side, as if a sauce shop had been opened, with salty, sour, and spicy sauces all gushing out..."
"How poor he was! He turned around and kicked again, right in the eye socket and eyebrow of another boy, Yuji. The kick split Yuji's eyelid, and his eyeball burst out, as if a colorful silk shop had opened, with red, black, and purple colors all blooming out..."
"At this moment, Lin Tian, the strongest of the boys, held onto Duoduoqiong tightly. In the critical instant, Duoduoqiong swung his elbow back, striking Lin Tian squarely in the temple. It was as if a grand Buddhist and Taoist ritual had been performed, with chimes, cymbals, and gongs all ringing out at once..."
"In the end, Duoqiong successfully chased away the group of boys, rescued the damsel in distress, and walked out of the classroom hand in hand with Jie Shenyi, living a shameless and happy life."
"Alright, that's the end of the story. We're even now."
After finishing his speech in one go, Jia Long picked up the kettle, took a sip of water, and looked at Milo and Aphrodite with a smile.
"Right here?!"
Milo's hair stood on end, as if he'd bought a counterfeit item with a month's salary. He glared at Jia Long through gritted teeth:
"I've already brought my stone bed here, and this is what you're going to show me?"
"what happened?"
Jia Long, however, calmly retorted to Milo, "Are there any beautiful women in this story?"
Milo was taken aback: "This...is there."
Is there such a thing as love?
"Yes... there is."
"Any movement?"
"Yes... there is."
"That settles it then. It has beautiful women, romance, and action—what more could you want? Such a rich story, isn't it worth your broken stone bed?"
"I……"
Milo was speechless. He suddenly realized that the other person was right; the story did indeed have a rich set of elements—beautiful women, romance, and action—which perfectly met his requirements, but…
He still feels like he bought a fake!
Moreover, he felt like he had heard those fight scenes somewhere before.
"You get what you pay for. My prices are fair, and I treat everyone honestly, young and old. That's how honest I am in business."
"You... Galon, if I can beat you, I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing Milo's anger, Jia Long laughed again and patted Milo's shoulder reassuringly:
"Milo, if you think this story isn't enough, I have many more exciting stories here. When I have other needs in the future, I'll tell you a story of knights battling infantry—it'll have beautiful women, romance, and action too!"
"Knights versus infantry?"
"You know."
"You mean..."
In an instant, Milo's heart burned with passion again, as if a small universe had ignited within him.
the other side.
Aphrodite, however, was very satisfied with Jalon's story; he crossed his arms and wore a dreamy expression.
"I really hope to meet a prince charming who is poor but handsome, who understands me, loves me, and silently protects me. No matter how willful I am, he won't get angry. No matter how spoiled I am, he will only smile gently. No matter how unreasonable my demands are, he will try his best to fulfill them. For me, he can give up everything..."
Aphrodite's heart burned with excitement as he thought about it, and he looked at Jalon and Milo with longing in his eyes:
"This is my prince!"
"This isn't your prince, this is your dad!!"
Milo interrupted him impatiently.
All his frustration was poured onto Aphrodite like cold water.
Aphrodite was immediately enraged.
"Milo! Can't you speak human language?"
"Isn't that human language? It's better than you talking in your sleep, you sissy!"
"You pervert, I challenge you to a duel! Today I will plant a poisonous rose on you!"
"Come on, I'm not afraid of planting chrysanthemums!"
In an instant, the small stone house became chaotic again.
Watching Milo and Aphrodite chasing each other all over the room, Jia Long leaned against the wall with his hands behind his head, settled into a comfortable position, and happily enjoyed the battle between the two poisoners.
"It's so good to be young!"
……
Jia Long slept exceptionally well that night.
He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. For over a year, he had been living and eating with Saga, and Saga would often have a seizure at night, which always made Ja Long anxious and unable to sleep well.
The darkness hidden in Saga's heart is terrifying!
This is also why Ja Long's mental and physical abilities are no weaker than Saga's, yet he still cannot defeat Saga.
Jia Long even suspected that it wasn't another personality at all, but a completely different person.
Or even, another...god!
Every time Jalong tries to defeat Saga in the Mirror of Time, he makes him question his existence!
Early the next morning.
