The plot of "Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One Always Collapses" is incomplete.

Wen Yubai wasn't sure if the God of Order was a good god, but He was certainly a bit eccentric.

Are he very familiar with Him?

Is the word "elopement" something that can be used casually here?

"Thank you for your kind offer, but please excuse me for declining at this time."

Wen Yubai spoke politely, but his mind was racing.

He couldn't refuse too harshly, since he planned to switch sides to the Order God later, and he couldn't close off his future path.

Although this world doesn't require strictly following the plot, he still doesn't want any huge, uncontrollable accidents to occur because he doesn't follow the plot.

He paused, then said:

"Erebus is my friend. Even if he deceived me and his true identity is the Dark Child, I still believe he will not harm me."

"Yeah?"

Without waiting for Wen Yubai's reply, the God of Order leaned closer, and with a hint of amusement, continued:

"Since you don't want to come with me, do you want the God of Light to come and take you? If so, I can grant your wish."

Wen Yubai: ...

Does he really have to leave now?

The God of Order raised an eyebrow. "You're unwilling even with this? Have you stopped believing in your god?"

It's time to start acting again.

Wen Yubai didn't want the God of Order to actually summon the God of Light and then drag him back to the cage of the Temple of Light.

He took a breath, his eyelashes lowered, his lips slightly pursed, revealing a hint of bitterness.

"bright?"

When he uttered those two words, his voice carried a hint of weariness and disappointment.

"He only has eyes for that chosen one of God, how could he care about us mortals?"

"People praise the light for its selflessness, but is it truly selfless? We priests pray for the light day and night and preach to the world, but this cannot earn us even a single glance from Him."

"And yet that God's favorite, who does nothing, can easily stand at His right hand and receive supreme favor. By what right?"

"Such light, seemingly illuminating all things, is in fact utterly cold-blooded. How can it be considered fair? Is it worthy of my devout heart?"

Wen Yubai raised his head, his eyes filled with genuine envy and resentment.

It wasn't all an act, after all, he was genuinely resentful. All the bad things he did so painstakingly ended up with good results, which would be absurd for anyone.

"On the contrary, it's Erebus..."

Wen Yubai paused, her tone softening slightly, "I saw kindness and innocence in him. Perhaps the darkness isn't what I imagined, and this might be the place I should stay."

The God of Order listened quietly.

He was a good listener, and only when Wen Yubai spoke of "the God of Light favoring those favored by God" did a subtle expression appear on his face.

That strange expression—wanting to speak but holding back laughter.

After Wen Yubai finished his performance, He slowly spoke: "Do you know that light and darkness are mortal enemies?"

Wen Yubai hummed in agreement.

How could he not know?

Regardless of how many years the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness have been opposed, common sense dictates that darkness and light have always been opposites.

The God of Order seemed to hear something. He released his hand from Wen Yubai's chin, instead pinching his cheek and chuckling softly:

"I've said it before, the embrace of order is open to you. If you encounter any danger that you cannot resolve, you can consider turning to my embrace."

"Light abhors betrayal, darkness cannot tolerate disloyalty, but the order is different."

He blinked and told a joke that only he could understand.

"Order, welcoming all comers? Hahahaha."

Wen Yubai always manages to be speechless at the words of the God of Order.

What does it mean to accept all comers? It doesn't sound like a respectable deity.

When he looked up again, the God of Order had vanished, as if he had never been there.

Just then, the sound of a lock being opened came from outside the door.

Wen Yubai looked towards the door, which was pushed open, letting in light from the corridor as Erebus entered the room.

He had just stepped across the threshold when he stopped and his gaze fell on Wen Yubai.

The blindfold had fallen to the ground at some point, and Wen Yubai was staring at him with his dark eyes wide open.

Erebus's expression changed.

"You want to run away?"

Wen Yubai was about to explain, but before he could even utter a word...

"Bang!"

Erebus was kicked away.

With a muffled thud, Wen Yubai then noticed that someone was following behind Erebus.

The man was short, covered up completely, wearing a mask, and dressed entirely in black, perfectly matching Wen Yubai's stereotype of the dark faction.

"This must be the Holy Son of Light?"

His voice was somewhat aged, but full of energy. Before he finished speaking, he strode over and reached out to untie Wen Yubai.

Erebus rubbed his kicked backside, a hint of grievance on his handsome face. "High Priest, what are you doing? He'll run away if you untie him."

"Run! Run!"

The Dark High Priest didn't even turn his head, his hands continuing their work.

He got angry whenever he saw Erebus. That disobedient child had run off to the Temple of Light as an undercover agent without a second thought.

Now that they've finally returned, they've even kidnapped the other side's Holy Son of Light.

"I haven't even said anything about you yet. People don't want to stay and want to leave. Have you reflected on your own problems?"

"Is it because you, the Dark Prince, are not good enough? Have you failed to take good care of them? Or have you caused them to suffer? You should always look for the reasons within yourself, instead of blaming others or the environment..."

Wen Yubai was dumbfounded. He finally understood where Erebus learned his bizarre treatment of prisoners; it turned out to be a direct descendant of Erebus.

Erebus was getting anxious. "But this is all the hard work I've put in..."

"Don't say anything more. This matter is very complicated. Just observe, learn more, and keep quiet."

The Dark High Priest was running out of ideas and decisively interrupted Erebus.

The rope was untied, and Wen Yubai stretched his aching wrists. Before he could speak, the Dark High Priest warmly supported his arm.

"Come, come, Holy Son of Light, have something to eat first. You must be starving!"

He pulled Wen Yubai towards the restaurant, where he treated her to delicious food and drinks, personally poured her tea, and asked her softly if she felt unwell anywhere.

Erebus stood aside, watching the high priest showing concern for Wen Yubai, somewhat incredulous.

No one has ever received such treatment before. Has the High Priest been possessed by something strange?

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but was silenced by a glare from the high priest.

After finishing the reception, the Dark High Priest cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"Son of Light, we of the Dark Temple only do things uprightly and honorably, and we do not resort to despicable means such as kidnapping."

"This matter was caused by the reckless actions of our Dark Prince. On behalf of the Dark Temple, I apologize to you."

"We will arrange for a Dark Knight to escort you back to the Land of Light."

Should I let myself leave?

That won't do!

Wen Yubai couldn't possibly return to the Temple of Light, that den of dragons and tigers. If he were sent back this time, he couldn't even imagine how "strictly" the High Priest would watch over him.

He immediately interrupted, "High Priest of Darkness, actually leaving the Temple of Light was not forced by Erebus, it was my own choice."

Erebus, standing nearby, suddenly widened his eyes.

Voluntary?

Wen Yubai continued, "You may not know this, but the Temple of Light today is not the Temple of Light it once was."

The Dark High Priest thought to himself, of course he knew that the Temple of Light was now thriving, not only becoming incredibly wealthy, but also gaining more and more followers every day.

Then he heard the astonished words of the Holy Son of Light.

"Light should be just and majestic, illuminating all things, but..."

He shook his head. "That's not actually the case. When I first arrived at the Dark Temple, I was indeed a little scared, but seeing the atmosphere here, and seeing how kind you, High Priest, are to a prisoner, I was truly moved."

"Perhaps I've been wrong all along. Who says darkness is necessarily evil?"

Wen Yubai's expression didn't change much, but his eyes were very sincere.

"High Priest, I will no longer be a believer in the light; darkness is where my heart truly lies. I beg you, let me stay."

Erebus was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

Was everything the Holy Son of Light said before true?!

Then his own wariness, vigilance, and suspicion towards him during this period... and not preparing milk for him at breakfast, weren't all of these hurting the Holy Son's heart?

The Dark High Priest was also stunned by his words.

This puts him in a difficult position.
