Chapter 291 290- Questions and Answers
”I have no idea what you are talking about,” Xie Lua said while averting her eyes even though it was obvious from her face that she was trying to hide something.”Come on. Just drop this act. The mark has already been activated, and I saw everything. I saw… everything…”
”Yes. I wanted to confirm if the mark had activated or not because I needed to know how much information I had to reveal,” Xie Lua nodded and added. “I didn’t want to interfere in master’s plan.”
”Okay, so before I ask my second question, can you tell me what you call him master?” Zach asked curiously.
”Because he is my master?”
”I remember you mentioning that you are a thousand years older than him, and I also remember you talking about the contract when I mentioned father’s death. You said the contract is still not served, so there are chances that father is alive, right?”
”It seems so.”
”So… what exactly was your relationship with him?” Zach turned his face to the side and said, “I don’t want to go too personal, but since my father is known for well.. the harem, I was curious to know if you were—”
”Stop right there.” Xie Lua glared at Zach and said, “Don’t you dare say one more word, or I will get mad.”
”I should have apologized before asking, I guess.”
”No, that’s not the point. jokes about such topics are not funny.”
Zach smiled wryly at Xie Lua and uttered, “Did it look like I was joking?”
”Talking about something you don’t know is the same as an insult to me, and insult is a joke,” Xie Lua retorted.
”I guess you are right. So I will just ask without holding back.” After a brief pause, Zach asked, “What was your relationship with father?”
”We had a relationship of a master and servant, nothing less or more than that. And since you already went as far as asking me about his harem, then let me answer it. My relationship with master was as pure as a relationship between a father and child.”
”Thank you for answering honestly.”
”Now, let me ask one question.” Xie Lua placed her hands on the booth and asked, “Why did you ask me that?”
”I am not really sure. You said you are the one who gave me the phoenix’s blessings, but I always thought you died with father that day. However, now that I know the full truth, I know father saved you by locking you with the ten rings.”
Zach had always seen Xie Lua in her phoenix form, and the first time he saw her in her human form was the day of the third impact, which he forgot because of the trauma. Had he remembered that day, he would have recognized Xie Lua on their first meeting.
”I don’t blame you for not recognizing me since you don’t remember anything of that day, but I—”
”How… do you know that I don’t remember…?
”Huh? Isn’t that obvious. It’s because of the mark,” Xie Lua answered in a neutral tone.
”Wait, what do you mean?”
”The mark allowed you to visit that memory, but you would have never been able to visit it if you had remembered it from your perspective. You can think of it as a necessity for the mark to work,” Xie Lua explained.
”So that’s the reason I didn’t remember anything. I thought it was because of my trauma, but I am glad to know that I didn’t forget that day because I was too weak to accept the reality.”
”Why would you even think that?!” Xie Lua asked with an annoyed face. “Stop having so low self-esteem.”
”I am talking about the seven-year-old me.” Zach grinned at Xie Lua and said, “I have developed some self-esteem and ego, which is required to live.”
”So, do you have any more questions? I would be glad to answer them as long as I know them.”
”Well, I have tons of them, but I want to know why the sun god attacked us? I know that one of my father’s friends snitched on him, but still, there was no need to launch such a world-threatening attack, right? He was ready even to blow up the entire planet, and he would have done that if father hadn’t stopped him. Wasn’t he a god? Aren’t they supposed to protect humanity?”
”No, Gods don’t care about humanity; it’s simply one of their creations. You have to see everything from their perspective. For them, you humans are nothing but dust. They see no difference between an insect and a human. They can create as many worlds as they want and destroy them too.”
”Hmm…” Zach hummed in wonder and said, “That makes sense. But Uncle Tim said that it was the third impact. I don’t get it. How did father trigger the third impact? He was only having a lovely conversation with mom.”
”It wasn’t master who triggered the first impact, it was the sun god.”
”Oh…. let me guess, there are no consequences of the impacts if the gods trigger them, am I right?”
”Indeed.”
”Fucking hypocrites!”
After a brief silence, Zach asked, “Do you know anything about the order of the universe?”
”I do have my fair share of knowledge, but you shouldn’t count that on me. Ask someone who knows everything about it. Try asking Erza once you get out of the game.”
”Well, I can ask Aria. She might not be as knowledgeable as mother since she was always in slumbers, but she should be able to give me some information.”
”Aria…?” Xie Lua’s eyes soon widened as she realized what she had just said. She covered her mouth and said, “You idiot! Why did you take her name?! Don’t you know she shouldn’t be named!”
”Hmm?”
”That… she is a goddess of death and destruction, the almighty annihilator. Her weakest creation alone can destroy the world over and over again!”
”Uhh… I am not sure if it’s the right time to say this, but… she is my wife.”
