Fairy Tail: I Am the God

The waiter stepped forward, bowing and smiling, and asked.

"Four ounces of Pu'er tea, and some snacks like melon seeds and almonds."

Gai Nie casually waved, but then turned his head and suddenly noticed Gao Jianli and Xue Nu sitting not far away.

"Oh my, what a coincidence."

Rong'er ran over happily first.

"Yes. Where did you come from?"

The snow woman replied with a smile as well.

"We just left the old residence of the Seven Killings Sect. I didn't expect to run into an old friend so soon."

Gai Nie also came over and sat down in a chair.

"The Seven Killings Sect's old residence? Hmph, what a coincidence, that's exactly where I was thinking of going."

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli could only sneer coldly.

"Hmm?" Gai Nie asked, puzzled. "Why is that? Didn't you say you were going to start anew?"

“It is precisely because we want to start anew that we must first return to that hellish place.” Gao Jianli shook his head.

"I need to talk to them and get to know them better."

Gai Nie gave Gao Jianli a deep look, then looked away.

Gao Jianli frowned, about to say something, but turned around along with the others sitting in the row.

"Sir, please enjoy your tea and snacks. Just let me know if you need anything." The waiter smiled and walked away.

Rong'er, usually so charming and lively, had fallen silent. The table remained quiet for a long time before she finally spoke, "Then you should go back."

"Will it affect your health?" Xue Nu suddenly realized that what she was most worried about now was Gao Jianli's health. Seeing him getting more and more haggard from all these troubles, she realized that he was getting thinner and thinner.

Gai Nie looked at them and nodded slightly: "That is indeed a problem. So what do you think?"

Gao Jianli, however, was led astray by them and temporarily abandoned his thought of returning. At this point, he could only put down his teacup with some helplessness. The deep red Pu'er tea rippled slightly, spilling a few drops onto his hand.

Gao Jianli reached out and wiped the dampness from his hands, lowered his head slightly, and remained silent.

The Snow Maiden looked at Gao Jianli, her expression growing increasingly worried. She finally asked, "You need to make your current situation clear to us. Is dragging this out the solution?"

Rong'er also had a somewhat serious expression, her hands folded on her knees, her lips slightly pursed, looking at the silent Gao Jianli just like Xue Nu.

After a long while, Gao Jianli, seemingly unable to bear everyone's gaze, finally raised his head, picked up his teacup again, and, with an air of refined elegance, waved his hand just as Rong'er was about to speak once more.

"I'm fine, there's really no need to worry. Right now, all I'm thinking about is getting back to the Seven Kills Sect, nothing else is bothering me. You don't need to worry about me at all."

After finishing his speech and taking a sip of tea, Gao Jianli felt more energetic and smiled at Gai Nie and the others: "Now that I've finished talking about my business, let's get back to the Seven Killings Sect."

Gai Nie nodded, then turned to look at Gao Jianli: "I roughly know what you're going to say, but I've already given the sect leader's token to Wei Zhuang. So you don't need to dwell on this anymore, and the Seven Kill Sect doesn't need to think about it so much."

Gai Nie straightened his sleeves, seemingly about to leave, but he didn't give Gao Jianli a chance to speak. Instead, he advised him, "You said you wanted to let go. Since you said you wanted to let go, then the Seven Killings Sect is now a thing of the past, and you have no need to go back."

He picked up the teacup with both hands for the last time, slowly tilting his head as if trying to detect some unique aroma in the coarse tea from the street vendor.

"You don't need to worry. Whether you go back or not, it's better for you not to go back. Why let old people and old things disturb your peace of mind after you've decided to let go? Don't you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Jianli's brows gradually relaxed, and his expression changed from agitated to calm. "In that case, my hopes are dashed. Ah, well, so be it."

He took the tea that Gai Nie handed him, lowered his eyes, and let the steam obscure the inscrutable complexity in his eyes.

Gai Nie smiled, his features clear and bright, as he watched Gao Jianli gradually emerge. They knew Gao Jianli wasn't a petty person, and after these words, he must have come to terms with many things.

"There's one more thing." Gai Nie glanced around at the group, his gaze settling on Gao Jianli. "I'm about to head to the Zhongnan Villa. What do you want? Come with me."

"Hmm," he responded softly, turning his head to look at the flow of people on the street.

Gai Nie and Gao Jianli had already made their plans. As for Xue Nu and Rong'er, one was incredibly intelligent and the other was charming and lively. At this moment, they began to discuss Gao Jianli's health.

"Rong'er, I think Gao Jianli is just saying he's fine, but actually he doesn't want us to worry. You should still let him take a look."

Xue Nu was also very anxious at this moment. She knew that Gao Jianli would say those words just now, obviously to gloss over the matter. Even if others didn't know or couldn't see it, she saw through it at a glance.

That's how she and Rong'er were able to seize the opportunity when Gai Nie and Gao Jianli were out to talk to Rong'er about this matter.

"You've seen Gao Jianli's current state. How could I possibly cure him? You're overestimating me." Rong'er glanced outside, but the two of them were long gone; they must have walked far away.

Seeing this, Xue Nu quickly pulled Rong'er back, "You don't need to look anymore, those two have been gone for a while now, if it weren't for this..."

“If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t have had a chance to ask me,” Rong’er gently pushed Xue Nu away, but didn’t look at her. She just focused on eating her snacks and occasionally sipped her tea, looking quite content.

But the Snow Woman became anxious, "You know that you still... you..."

“That’s why I said I couldn’t save him. Look at him, he’s perfectly normal. There’s nothing wrong with him being with Gai Nie. All your worries are just your own thoughts. You know his problem isn’t on the surface, but inside.”

Xue Nu nodded in agreement with Rong'er's words, but then the clever Rong'er abruptly stopped talking, which made Xue Nu anxious and caused her to glare at her again, disregarding her usual image.

The snow maiden glared fiercely at Rong'er, but the spirit seemed to be deliberately ignoring her, and simply remained silent.

With fire and water clashing on one side and the two seemingly about to overturn the small teahouse, Rong'er calmly reached out and patted Xue Nu's shoulder like a little adult, signaling her to calm down. Once Xue Nu had calmed down, Rong'er slowly explained, "You know, Gao Jian's inner turmoil is far more serious than his physical ailments. But how can a doctor like me cure such a deep-seated ailment in his heart with external medicine? Are you joking? So when I say there's no way, I truly mean there's no way."

When Rong'er saw that Xue Nu was about to get angry with her again after hearing these words, she simply blurted out everything in one go.

“You don’t need to be like this. Just like he said, there’s no need to rush. Mental illness requires mental medicine. Just let him get better naturally. Maybe he’ll get better on his own when he’s with Gai Nie. All your worrying will be for nothing.”

"You should relax. We saw it clearly just now. He has already let go of the Seven Killings Sect. If he can even let go of this, then it's only a matter of time before he gets sick. Don't worry too much. Otherwise, if he gets better, you might get sick from worrying. I won't do that."

Rong'er smiled, picked up a small pastry and offered it to the person opposite her. Xue Nu took it and started eating, the creases between her brows gradually smoothing out. "I hope so. I'm still worried about him."

The two chatted for a good part of the afternoon, still feeling like they hadn't had enough.

It wasn't until the afternoon that they returned to their lodgings.

That night, when everyone was fast asleep.

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, and just then, a series of extremely faint sounds came from afar, blending into the rustling and going unnoticed.

Before long, a voice could be heard outside the courtyard.

"Are you sure they live here?" Bai Feng asked in a low voice.

“I’m sure they are here. We must bring Gai Nie back.” Chi Lian said in an extremely low voice.

Bai Feng responded softly, and then the two turned and stepped into the courtyard without attracting anyone's attention.

Chi Lian and Bai Feng cautiously approached the door. Just as Bai Feng's hand was about to touch the door, the lamp in the room, which had not been lit, suddenly turned on. With a bang, the door in front of Chi Lian and Bai Feng was suddenly opened, and Gai Nie was already standing in front of them.

Gai Nie leaned against the door, his face expressionless, and asked, "Why have you two gone to such lengths to visit so late at night? Who are you here to see, and what brings you here?"

"Not at all, not at all. It's not like we've gone to all this trouble. We've come here specifically to find you. We'd like to ask you to come with us," said Chi Lian and Bai Feng.

"Where are you two going to take me to dinner?" Gai Nie asked knowingly.

“You should know that,” said the two, Chi Lian and Bai Feng.

Gai Nie stretched out a hand and said to Chi Lian and Bai Feng, "Of course I understand, and you understand even better whether I will go with you or not."

Bai Feng gave a cold laugh and said, "That's not up to you!"

Gai Nie stepped back, his wooden face remaining expressionless. Xue Nu, behind him, gripped her flute tightly, ready to act at Gai Nie's signal!

"Gai Nie, you're leaving today whether you like it or not, or we'll take you away!" Chi Lian said coldly, as venomous snakes slowly slithered out from behind her, forming a dense swarm that enveloped the area.

Bai Feng was ready to block Gai Nie from escaping at any moment.

Gai Nie gripped his sword, while Xue Nu placed her flute to her lips, and the melodious sound of the flute, carrying the scent of ice and snow, began to play.

A chill enveloped the surroundings, and the snakes on the ground seemed to retreat as if they had encountered the heavens and earth.

Seeing this scene, Chi Lian was furious and lashed out with her long whip, while Gai Nie also drew his sword.

Gai Nie's sword was swift, accurate, and ruthless! While blocking Chi Lian's sword for Xue Nu, he turned his gaze to Bai Feng, who was otherwise unremarkable.

Bai Feng was suddenly startled, and a sword had been inserted into the spot where he had been standing.

"Your sword truly lives up to its reputation," Bai Feng said, gazing at the sword.

Gai Nie didn't speak. While using his lightness skill to attack Bai Feng, he also retrieved the sword that was stuck there.

In an instant, swords clashed and shadows flashed, and the only sound in the air was the clash of weapons. White phoenix feathers scattered across the sky.

On the other side, Chi Lian faced off against Xue Nu, whose figure, amidst the night, resembled an ice and snow sprite. The sound of a flute drifted on, and a visible chill emanated from her.

Chi Lian's eyes turned cold, and with a flick of her whip, she swiftly darted through the woods.

"Snow Maiden, your chill has weakened considerably. Is it because... Gao Jianli is no longer here?" Chi Lian's alluring voice carried a hint of mockery, a mockery that reached Snow Maiden's ears and seeped into her heart.
