Fairy Tail: I Am the God

The taste of strong liquor is unpleasant; the spiciness spreads through the throat, stimulating the nerves and numbing them at the same time.

He liked the wine because it seemed to allow him to forget the past, even if only for a very short time, and to escape the pain of being condemned.

So he drank and drank, trying to use every sip of alcohol to seal away his memories and forget the things that time had worn away.

A faint blush gradually appeared on Gao Jianli's face, her eyes became increasingly unfocused, and a hint of numbness appeared between her brows.

Alcohol may not be able to control one's heart, but it can help people escape—escape things they were unwilling to face in the past, escape the past, escape everything they don't want to think about.

Perhaps running away won't solve anything, but it can be very useful.

At least let him suffer again, immersing himself in past accusations.

As Xue Nu gradually snapped out of her reverie, she saw Gao Jianli drinking recklessly, and the smile that had been playing on her lips vanished.

Her eyes were filled with bitterness, and at that moment, he longed to lean on that menacing wine glass.

In her eyes, the wine was no longer wine, but sharp swords, mercilessly severing the broken heart of the person in front of her.

Pain, an indescribable pain, spread through Xue Nu's heart. Every sip of wine Gao Jianli drank was like a sharp dagger, piercing her heart.

The snow woman couldn't help but ask:

"Why? Why can't you let it go even now? Do you really have to hold a grudge?"

Chapter 1240 Horrifying Strength, the Terrifying Acnologia

Gao Jianli raised his wine glass and slowly lowered it. His handsome face was etched with the marks of time, and the wrinkles on his forehead were deeper. His black pupils were filled with sorrow and loneliness.

“Holding a grudge? Yes, I really do hold a grudge. Since Elder Bao died, I have suddenly understood a lot of things, but there are also many things I don’t understand.”

The Snow Maiden stared at Gao Jianli, biting her red lips as she asked:

"Is there anything you can't understand? Can't you talk to everyone properly? Why did you leave without a word back then?"

The tavern was still quite lively at this time, with many people's eyes fixed on the Snow Woman. After all, everyone loves beauty, and people's eyes always go where they want to see it.

At this moment, the Snow Woman's malevolent aura erupted, and a chilling aura suddenly exploded. Everyone eating felt a surge of deathly danger, and their souls were filled with terror as they all ran out of the house.

In the blink of an eye, only the two of them remained in the tavern, and even the waiter didn't have the courage to come up.

As for the boss, he secretly prayed that these two killers would leave as soon as possible.

Faced with the Snow Maiden's questioning, Gao Jianli remained silent for a while, a conflicted expression on his face.

"Actually, I don't know how to answer this question. I just feel that my mind is very confused. I want to leave as soon as possible. Only by leaving the source of the confusion can I find some peace."

Now, I feel that I was an accomplice to evil, and I find it hard to forgive myself.

The Snow Woman slammed her hand on the table, her aura somewhat impulsive.

"What's past is past, it's over, why bother with it? Since you've already made up your mind, why dwell on the past?"

Gao Jianli swirled his wine glass, looking at Xue Nu's impulsive expression with a hint of indifference. He had something to say, but just as he opened his mouth, he shut it again.

After thinking for a moment, he took another sip of wine, and in just a short while, the wine pot on the table was completely empty.

Fueled by the alcohol, Gao Jianli opened up a bit. He shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and then posed a question.

"Actually, it's not entirely because of the past. I've been aiding and abetting evil for thirty years. I think you must know a lot about what happened during that time."

Now, I'm all alone, and I feel quite lost, even a little like I've lost the meaning of life.

As he spoke, Gao Jianli scratched his hair, and an aura of dejection spread out.

"I no longer know why I should live, there is no meaning to living, perhaps my life should have ended long ago."

Otherwise, someone like me living in this world would be nothing more than a walking corpse.

After speaking, Gao Jianli reached for the wine jug again, but the jug had already been emptied, leaving only a few drops of liquid.

Bored, Gao Jianli narrowed his eyes, wanting to say something, but then felt a warm sensation behind him.

He tried to look up, but saw a few glistening tears falling onto his shoulder.

Snow Maiden's hands clung tightly to Gao Jianli's chest. Feeling the reassuring aura emanating from the person in front of her, she could no longer control herself.

Large teardrops fell as the Snow Maiden gently nuzzled Gao Jianli's ear.

"If it loses its meaning, we'll find another. No matter what, I'll be with you, helping you find meaning."

The melodious voice echoed in Gao Jianli's ears, and he was somewhat dazed. Unconsciously, he took Xue Nu's arm with his right hand.

Chapter 1241 A single blow severely injured the Fairy Tail members

The King of Qin looked coldly at Zhao Gao. Now, this descendant of Jing Ke had appeared; if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze.

He won't let this child live.

The King of Qin looked coldly outside the palace and said in a cold tone, "Zhao Gao, I'm entrusting this matter to you."

Zhao Gao prostrated himself on the ground, replying respectfully yet coldly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Beside the King of Qin, Gai Nie's grip on his sword tightened involuntarily, though his face remained expressionless.

After leaving the palace, Gai Nie stood outside the corridor, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Back then, he killed Jing Ke after Jing Ke's assassination attempt failed in order to gain the trust of the King of Qin. Before the assassination, Jing Ke had instructed him to take good care of his son, Jing Tianming. Now that the King of Qin was going to send someone to kill Jing Tianming, he had to protect Jing Tianming before the King of Qin's men found him, otherwise he would be letting down Jing Ke's trust.

Gai Nie stood in the corridor, somewhat lost in thought, his mind wandering far, far away.

At this moment, Zhao Gao walked out of the palace, looked at Gai Nie, and said with a slight smile.

"Lord Gai, why are you still standing outside?" Gai Nie looked at Zhao Gao, his gaze sharp. Zhao Gao replied, "Chief Steward Zhao is being rather nosy. Is Chief Steward Zhao so idle? Why not concern yourself with me, Gai?"

Zhao Gao smiled, making his already wicked face appear even more devilish.

"Is Lord Gai showing concern for me? That would be an honor for me, Zhao."

Gai Nie frowned, looked at Zhao Gao without speaking, turned around, picked up his sword, and entered the main hall. Behind Gai Nie, Zhao Gao curled the corner of his mouth and said, "These days are really boring! But things are much more interesting now."

That evening, Gai Nie returned to his room, packed his belongings, and then went to the horse stables to fetch a fast horse. He quickly headed out of the city. Jing Tianming was Jing Ke's son, and he had promised Jing Ke to take good care of him. Gai Nie frowned. If he did this, he could no longer infiltrate the King of Qin's inner circle. But the current situation was special, and he didn't want to betray Jing Ke's trust again, nor did he want to feel guilty. He had to fulfill his promise to Jing Ke.

Gai Nie rode his fast horse and hurried outside.

Gai Nie was unaware that his every move was being watched by Mo Clan spies. The spies watched as Gai Nie rode a fast horse out of Xianyang, and immediately sent the message to another Mo Clan spy, marking it as urgent. Soon after, the other spy received the message and hurriedly brought it back to the Mo Clan!

Instead of hiding the message, the Mohists spread it.

That very night, Jing Tianming, who had been hidden by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Emperor for many years, reappeared, and the news spread throughout the national Mo Family News Network.

Gai Nie didn't think too much about it; he just wanted to get to Jing Tianming's side as quickly as possible to protect him and prevent him from being harmed by the King of Qin. This time, he was determined to protect Tianming. He was willing to pay any price.

Meanwhile, in the grand hall of Qin, Zhao Gao knelt on the ground, head bowed, his expression unreadable. The King of Qin, his face cold and imposing, looked at Zhao Gao without uttering a sound. After a long while, the King of Qin spoke in a voice that betrayed no emotion.

"Zhao Gao, this time, send 300 iron cavalry. You must make sure to eliminate them completely."

Meanwhile, the system, through monitoring, learned everything.

The system hurriedly relayed these messages to Leon, who couldn't help but feel worried, but he discussed it with the main god system.

Chapter 1242 The Growth of Erza and Her Group of Reincarnators

"How can we help Tianming grow better? In order to help Tianming grow, they decided to send him back to the village first."

Tianming was a little confused. Why was he being asked to return to the village again? But Tianming didn't make a fuss. He simply packed his things and silently walked into the village. As soon as the village chief saw Tianming, he excitedly ran up to him.

"It was him, it was him who killed the soldiers."

The villagers glared angrily at Tianming and couldn't help but ask him, "Are you trying to kill us?"

Looking at the villagers, the village chief decided to take Tianming to the government office to turn himself in, otherwise the entire village, young and old, would face certain death. Tianming was furious and wanted to rush up and argue with the villagers, but Leon stopped him, saying to Tianming, "It's no use arguing with these people now, let's leave quickly!"

Tianming glared indignantly at the villagers, wanting to tell them that he had done nothing wrong. However, the villagers were secretly pleased to see Tianming about to leave. They figured that when the soldiers came, they could simply say that the criminal had fled and that it had nothing to do with them. So the villagers let Tianming go.

Even after Tianming left the village, he was still somewhat indignant.

He found a place to sit down, and suddenly remembered something: since childhood, a mysterious girl had been secretly protecting him, but he didn't know who she was or what her purpose was.

As Tianming pondered this question, the Main God System seemed to sense his thoughts.

"Ding-dong, please verify the identity of the girl who has been protecting you, and you also need her veil."

Tianming was dumbfounded. How was he supposed to complete this task? He didn't even know the mysterious girl's identity, let alone uncover her secrets. Tianming was troubled by this, but the task had already been issued, and even if there was no other way, he had to find a way to do it.

Tianming looked at the task and immediately stood up, pacing around in circles, muttering, "What to do, what to do? How am I supposed to know who he is? If only I knew!"

Tianming was a little troubled, when suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

Isn't this mysterious girl supposed to protect him all the time? If he himself gets into danger, is this girl supposed to come and save him?

But this made Tianming even more distressed. How could he possibly get himself into danger?

"I've got it!" Tianming suddenly thought. He found a big tree, tied a rope around it, and then pretended to be suspended from the tree by the rope.

They might be hanged here alive.

But as Tianming looked at the big tree, he couldn't help but swallow hard. What if he accidentally lost his life here? But you can't catch a dog without risking your life. Tianming gritted his teeth and decided to do it anyway, otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to complete the mission.

Tianming steeled his heart and started hanging from the tree. After hanging for a while, Tianming felt difficulty breathing. He kept waving his hands and shouting, "Help! Help! Is there anyone who can save me?"
