Fairy Tail: I Am the God
Page 740
After separating from Rong'er, Gai Nie went straight to Tianming's room, hoping that Tianming was in his own room and hadn't wandered off. When Gai Nie arrived at Tianming's door, he first pressed his ear against the door to see if there was any sound inside.
Upon hearing this, Gai Nie discerned something; he heard someone sobbing. Therefore, Gai Nie knocked on the door first, giving Tianming some time to prepare and compose himself.
When Tianming heard the knocking, he didn't want to speak or pay attention to the person outside, yet he hoped the knocker would come in. Gai Nie naturally understood this feeling, and after waiting for the right amount of time, he went in.
Upon entering, Gai Nie was greeted by Tianming, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, huddled up in a ball. Gai Nie tiptoed to Tianming's side, intending to startle him, but just as he was about to attack, Tianming suddenly raised his head.
Seeing this, Gai Nie went along with it, pretending to be frightened in an attempt to make Tianming laugh. However, to his surprise, Tianming only gave him a cold look this time, without the slightest hint of a smile, and Gai Nie lost interest in continuing the act.
Gai Nie then sat down next to Tianming. Tianming simply kept a close eye on Gai Nie's every move but didn't stop him. Gai Nie didn't say anything either; Tianming's behavior was a good sign.
Tianming would definitely not pay any attention to Gai Nie, so Gai Nie began to persuade him. He didn't try to persuade him in a good way, but just said in a normal way, "Tianming, using your superpowers too often will damage your body. Rong'er knows this, which is why she did that just now."
Tianming remained silent, but hearing these words eased his bad mood somewhat. However, his unhappiness stemmed from self-doubt, so the easing was only temporary. Seeing Tianming's lack of reaction, Gai Nie continued, "Tianming, Rong'er was just worried about you, but that's why she acted this way."
Upon hearing "Concern Leads to Confusion," Tianming's mood soured again. He internally roared, "Concern Leads to Confusion? Does concern allow you to act this way?" Although he understood the downsides of this ability, he was still very angry.
Tianming grew angrier the more he thought about it, and decided to ignore Gai Nie.
Chapter 1124 Gai Nie's Breakthrough
Seeing that Tianming seemed unwilling to talk to him, and remembering Rong'er's loving gaze, Gai Nie mustered his courage and tried to think of a way to get Tianming to talk to him.
Gai Nie and Tianming sat close together, very quietly. Tianming wondered, why isn't Gai Nie saying anything? Did he give up so easily? Why isn't he saying anything? If he's not going to say anything, why isn't he leaving? Despite all these thoughts, Tianming's expression remained calm.
Gai Nie was also trying to gauge Tianming's emotions and probe his reaction, but neither of them would back down, and they remained silent. Gai Nie thought that he should drop a bombshell to get Tianming to pay attention to him.
However, if Tianming isn't interested, no matter how much bombshell Gai Nie reveals, it won't make a difference. So, let's test whether he's interested.
Gai Nie sighed, slowly got up, glanced at Tianming, said nothing more, and walked towards the door.
Tianming had been secretly observing Gai Nie's reaction, wondering if he had really given up. Tianming was somewhat unwilling to accept that Gai Nie had given up after only a few words. Tianming raised his head and stared intently at Gai Nie's back, who had already walked to the table and chairs.
Gai Nie sensed a sound behind him, the sound of Tianming moving slightly, and also felt a gaze upon him. Gai Nie realized that Tianming was still interested.
Gai Nie seized the opportunity, turned around and sat down in a chair, saying to Tianming, "Tianming, come and sit down? Let's talk about something." Gai Nie secretly smiled to himself, thinking that this time he should be able to succeed.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Tianming stared at Gai Nie in shock, thinking to himself, "Old foxes are shrewd; he was waiting for this!" Knowing that Gai Nie had figured out his thoughts, Tianming resignedly walked towards the chair.
Seeing Tianming's reaction, Gai Nie was overjoyed. He had originally intended to remain calm, but he couldn't help it, and one corner of his mouth curled up slightly. Tianming certainly wouldn't be disappointed about what he was about to say. Unfortunately, Gai Nie didn't know that Tianming already knew the secret he thought he knew.
After Tianming sat down, Gai Nie looked at him meaningfully without saying a word, leaving Tianming full of questions.
What Gai Nie wanted to talk about was Tianming's biological father; he was trying to find a trace of his father in Tianming. Gai Nie seemed to truly see Tianming's biological father, and for a moment, he was in a daze, recalling past times…
Tianming sat there, having failed to outlast Gai Nie in terms of endurance last time, and this time Tianming would rather die than make the first move.
Rong'er was inside, waiting for Gai Nie ever since he left. She thought Tianming would be an easy child to coax, and that Gai Nie would return soon. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; Tianming was difficult to coax, and Gai Nie wasn't particularly good at it either.
After waiting for a long time without seeing Gai Nie, Rong'er began to blame herself again, wondering why she had acted so impulsively, causing this situation and now having to trouble Gai Nie for help.
Rong'er felt more and more sorry for Gai Nie and Tianming. She thought that she should apologize to him, and maybe Tianming would feel better soon.
Rong'er sat up halfway on the bed, then sat back down. She remembered Gai Nie's words: if Gai Nie failed, she could go instead. Thinking of Gai Nie, Rong'er's eyes shone, her deep love almost overflowing.
After Gai Nie finished reminiscing, he came to his senses and looked at Tianming, who was about to fall asleep, and smiled silently.
Chapter 1125 Born Emperor, Unrivaled in Dominance
Even when I was about to fall asleep, I didn't show weakness first; I do have some patience.
Gai Nie tapped the table a few times, and Tianming finally woke up from his drowsiness. Normally, Tianming's body should be resting at this time. Gai Nie planned to finish quickly and then let Tianming rest after he finished speaking.
After waiting a little while, Gai Nie got to the point, carefully observing Tianming's facial expression, and asked, "Tianming, do you want to know about your biological father?"
Upon hearing this, Tianming perked up, his eyes shining with curiosity. "I'd like to hear more," he asked. Tianming thought that Gai Nie could tell him something he didn't know about his father. Unfortunately, Tianming was disappointed.
Gai Nie was quite satisfied with Tianming's reaction. Thinking of Tianming's father, Gai Nie's voice became somewhat weathered. Gai Nie composed himself and said directly, "Tianming, your father is the famous Jing Ke!"
Tianming already knew all this and certainly wouldn't show any surprise. However, the system knew it couldn't give itself away, so it forcibly took control of Tianming's body. The system took Tianming's place to send body commands, preventing any exposure.
At this moment, Tianming—no, it should be said that the system—revealed a shocked expression, murmuring in disbelief, "My father is Jing Ke?"
The story of Jing Ke is widely known, almost to the point of being a household name. Everyone knows that Jing Ke was a great hero who bravely assassinated the King of Qin, sacrificing his life for righteousness. The system's current reaction is therefore reasonable.
The system's current reaction is also based on the reaction of Tianming when he first learned that Jing Ke was his father.
Gai Nie observed Tianming's reaction. This matter was indeed captivating for Tianming, but it wasn't just about Rong'er. Tianming had reached an appropriate age and had the right to know who his father was.
Gai Nie continued with a sigh, "Tianming, do you know how spirited your father was back then? For the sake of righteousness, he did something he knew would not succeed." Thinking of the past, Gai Nie felt a pang of melancholy and a pain he could not share with anyone.
The system, controlling Tianming's body, nodded vigorously to express its strong agreement. The system itself also agreed that Jing Ke was truly a great hero.
Tianming watched in his mind what the system was doing. His body, which he used to be able to control himself, was now under the system's control—it was truly terrifying. However, Tianming believed that the system wouldn't harm him.
Tianming is now quite content with his leisure time, living by his own will without having to control his body or make any specific actions or expressions. However, Gai Nie isn't going to say anything more, which is making things rather boring. Tianming still wants to know some more insider information.
However, Gai Nie remained silent and did not say anything more. Gai Nie believed that telling Tianming who his father was was enough; he did not want Tianming to know about the grudges of the older generation.
Frustrated by the lack of any juicy gossip, Tianming tried to regain control of his body, but to no avail. In his mind, he shouted, "System, what are you trying to do?"
The system roughly understood Tianming's feelings at this moment, but it absolutely couldn't let the truth out. The system gritted its teeth and continued to control Tianming's body. The system made Tianming's body feign a proud expression, as if he had just accepted the fact that Jing Ke was his biological father.
Chapter 1126 A Night of Passion, Another Entanglement
Seeing that Gai Nie believed that this was the first time Tianming had learned about his biological father, the system returned control of the body to Tianming.
At the same time, he sternly warned Tianming, "Don't reveal that this isn't the first time you've known about Father's affairs." Only then did Tianming regain control of his body. Knowing the system's intentions, Tianming did not give himself away.
In Gai Nie's eyes, Tianming's pride gradually turned into indifference, which was normal. Seeing that Gai Nie had no suspicions, the system contacted Tianming again and said seriously, "Even I can't control your superpower."
The system wanted to see Tianming's reaction first before saying the second half of its sentence, so that it could be mentally prepared.
Upon hearing this, Tianming couldn't help but smile, wanting to proudly tell the system that he could control his superpowers and didn't need the system's help. However, just as Tianming was about to speak, he recalled the first time he had lost control of his superpowers in front of Yue'er.
Suddenly, Tianming was no longer so confident that he could control his superpowers. Recalling how he had lost his mind because of his superpowers, Tianming was even more frightened.
Observing Tianming's reaction, the system could roughly guess what Tianming was thinking, and thus suddenly stopped speaking. The system stopped controlling Tianming's body and did not interrupt again, leaving Tianming to be alone in silence.
Gai Nie looked at Tianming sitting at the table, his arm resting on the table, one hand propping up his head, seemingly deep in thought. Gai Nie guessed that Tianming simply couldn't believe his father was a great hero who had sacrificed his life for righteousness. Or perhaps, he was thinking about what had just happened with Rong'er, and maybe it would help him understand.
Not wanting to disturb Tianming's deep thought, Gai Nie left on his own and headed straight for Rong'er's room. Rong'er, meanwhile, was restless, fearing Gai Nie would return defeated.
But Rong'er thought about it again. Failure wasn't so bad; Gai Nie had done his best. If she failed, Rong'er planned to apologize to Tianming and explain. Even if her explanation was somewhat weak and inadequate, if all else failed, she would ask Tianming what it would take for him to forgive her.
Gai Nie was overjoyed at the success of the plan and quickened his pace, eager to tell Rong'er the good news as soon as possible. Rong'er must be suffering from self-reproach right now.
After a stick of incense had burned, Gai Nie arrived at Rong'er's door. It was all because Fei Xiang Pavilion was too big; otherwise, Gai Nie could have been even faster. Standing in front of the door, Gai Nie calmed his emotions and relaxed his physical state before raising his hand to knock on the door.
Rong'er, who was pacing inside, rushed to the door upon hearing the sound, opened it, and prayed that she would see Gai Nie. The moment she opened the door, Gai Nie's back was bathed in light in Rong'er's eyes.
Rong'er welcomed Gai Nie into the house and, after offering him a seat, poured him a cup of tea, which he immediately drank in one gulp. Duanmu Rong sat beside Gai Nie, anxiously awaiting the outcome. Rong'er's hand was still twisting the hem of her dress, hoping to ease her tension.
Seeing Rong'er's expression, Gai Nie found her quite adorable and decided to try and deceive her feelings. Gai Nie looked troubled and remained silent, observing Rong'er's reaction.
Seeing Gai Nie's troubled expression, Rong'er roughly guessed the outcome and remained silent for a moment. Suddenly, Rong'er hugged Gai Nie, leaned close to his ear, and whispered...
Chapter 1127 Scored twice
"It's okay, thank you."
Rong'er knew that Gai Nie had already done a remarkable job. Unfortunately, Rong'er didn't know that Gai Nie was lying to her; otherwise, she probably would have chased after him and beaten him.
Gai Nie thoroughly enjoyed this feeling. The two remained silent for a long time, embracing each other peacefully and beautifully.
Gai Nie felt very happy now, and decided not to tell Rong'er the truth yet, as it would be difficult to handle later. Gai Nie thought he would apologize to Rong'er later.
Seeing that it was getting late, Rong'er asked, "Gai Nie, are you having dinner? Would you like to eat in my room?" Rong'er's invitation made it clear that Gai Nie wouldn't refuse, but things didn't go as planned, and Gai Nie actually did refuse.
Seeing the obvious change in Rong'er's face, Gai Nie could only grit his teeth and apologize, "Rong'er, I'm sorry, I have something to do."
Gai Nie wanted to quickly find a way to effectively control Tianming's supernatural abilities. He felt time was of the essence and couldn't afford to waste any.
Suddenly remembering Gai Nie of Tianming, and recalling the time she had just spent with Tianming, she whispered to Rong'er, "I told Tianming that his biological father is Jing Ke."
Originally, Rong'er was feeling jealous and depressed, and didn't want to talk to him. Now, she had no choice but to slap her face. Rong'er stood up and tried to look Gai Nie in the eye, but it was impossible. Regarding Tianming knowing about his biological father, Rong'er affirmed, "Tianming now certainly has the right to know."
Seeing that Gai Nie had nothing to say and was standing there motionless, Rong'er was unhappy and could only give him the order to leave, saying seriously, "Gai Nie, shouldn't you leave? I want to eat."
After Gai Nie left, Tianming lost all appetite, his mind preoccupied only with every little detail about his superpower. He wondered whether it was more beneficial or detrimental, and whether it could be considered something he could completely control.
Even though he was hungry, Tianming didn't move. He just sat there at the table, thinking about the problem, and then fell asleep. In his dream, Tianming seemed to dream of being able to completely control his superpowers. However, as soon as the superpowers appeared, Tianming was startled awake.
Tianming may also be a little afraid of superpowers. Superpowers are now extremely powerful and disgusting, but they are also uncontrollable, and he may control them at any time.
Awakened, Tianming sat at the table, remaining there all night, his mind filled with thoughts of his superpower. After much deliberation, Tianming decided to get rid of it, to rid himself of this troublesome ability within him.
Tianming didn't consult the system, and the system couldn't come up with a solution either. Faced with such a major decision, everyone wanted to shirk responsibility.
Tianming already considered himself a burden who would attract assassination attempts, and now that his superpowers were acting up and down, he desperately wanted to retain them. However, in order for everyone to live a peaceful life, Tianming had no choice but to reluctantly give them up and ask Aunt Rong'er to remove his superpowers.
After figuring things out, Tianming realized that it was getting brighter. He didn't plan to rest and waited until it was about time before heading to Rong'er's room.
Tianming eavesdropped at the door, and only knocked when he heard a sound from inside.
Just as Tianming was standing outside, almost falling asleep, Rong'er's door opened from the inside. Tianming, shameless as ever, pleaded, "Auntie, I want to get rid of my superpower."
