Novel Full Chapter 478 - Going Home
"Jin, thank you." Syni Su said after the episode in the stone hall ended. They went to stroll in a garden filled with pink plants, a place where she loved going the most.
She was utmost grateful for what Jin Rou did. After all, although her grandfather tried to step on him so many times, he didn't seek for revenge or anything for the sake of her.
"That's nothing. It's not worth thanking for." Jin Rou smiled and answered. He wanted to give Syni Su and her dead mother face, that's why he didn't make a commotion during that time. After all, he went there to clarify things.
He looked at Syni Su, who was smiling and constantly chuckling while they were walking around the place. For some reason, he felt that the barrier which separated both of them had finally crumbled. But Jin Rou didn't want to rush it. So many had happened, and there's no reason to take things fast.
Just like this, Jin Rou was already satisfied. He couldn't ask for more.
Syni Su felt the abnormal glance of Jin Rou and couldn't help but think about it. He never had looked at her that way, a look filled with tenderness and carefulness. It was like he was holding her in his arms, afraid that he would fall her and break.
Thinking that Jin Rou must have fallen in love for her, Syni Su couldn't help but blush. But that expression only appeared in a split second. She didn't want Jin Rou to see it as it would tell everything to him.
"I'll be going back home." Jin Rou said after a moment of silence, "I have been away for a long time now, so I want to go home and stay."
"You mean, you will no longer travel around the worlds?" Syni Su was surprised. She knew, since they were kids, how much Jin Rou dreamed about going and traveling in all places possible. He liked adventuring and discovering new places, meeting new people, and whatnot. Thus, this decision was quite a surprise to her.
"Well, I have already had enough of traveling around." Jin Rou chuckled, "I almost have already went to the places I want to go to. I've been away for so long, too. Perhaps, now is the time to take my position seriously. After all, I'm still the overlord of our universe."
Indeed. Jin Rou ran away in the past because he wanted to go have an adventure around the world. But now, he made it happened and he learned many things. He felt like now was the right time to be a proper celestial king.
Jin Rou paused for a second before continuing, "Besides, the adventures I did was filled with killings. No matter where I go, there will be people dying, either by my hands or in front of me. I've grown tired. I just wanna take a rest and sit on my throne the whole day."
Syni Su understood where Jin Rou was coming from. She knew that it wasn't easy for Jin Rou to kill and kill no matter how strong he was. After all, he was still a teen. So him growing tired of it was very normal, especially what had happened this past few days.
"Go, then." Syni Su smiled and said, "Be good now and follow must be followed. Don't let your family stress over you."
"Of course." Jin Rou said, "I'll visit you here some other time if I'm free. Or you can just visit me in the mansion. Don't worry, the resources will be paid on my side."
"Silly. You know how much resources required to travel across between universes. Though this universe is only next to yours, it still needs an insane amount of resources to travel. How can you possibly cover such expenses?" Syni Su wanted to laugh, but she tried holding it in. But she appreciated what Jin Rou said.
"I know that you have the resources too, but just like you said, it's quite expensive. No, it's very expensive. So how can I let you do that? I can just cover your cost going in, and I can just use my gate to deliver you home. After all, I'm a law. There's nothing impossible for me." Jin Rou said. In actuality, he wanted to use his gate to fetch and deliver Syni Su. However, he was afraid that his intention would be seen through and decided to let her use resources to go to his universe, and he would just pay for it. That way, he thought that he was just offering things no more than a line between friends. Of course, it was just a cover up to hide his real objective.
But how could Syni Su, who have grown with Jin Rou and knew him like a back of her hand, not know what Jin Rou was actually thinking? She couldn't help but giggle, but she didn't dare to expose him, afraid that he would take back all his words, "Alright then. Let's do it your way. But, you don't have to pay for the resources I'll use whenever I go to your place. Just think of it that you escorting me home was the payment."
It was a funny sight. The two was still together yet they were already planning on what to do when they want to see each other. No matter how much Jin Rou deny it this time, it was very obvious, especially to other people, that he was clearly trying to woo Syni Su.
"This little guy. He is very powerful yet he isn't good in hiding things when he wishes to." Shila Su was observing them in a distance and heard their conversation. He couldn't help but laugh a bit by the silliness of the two. He looked at the sky as he remembered how he and Keisa started their love affair, and felt a bit similarity to Jin Rou.
He was reminiscing his past about his wife. But it was no longer sadness and hatred he could feel, at the very least, his mind was now at peace.
