Chapter 370: Chapter 334 Completely Solved_2

They set the low table in the courtyard to drink tea and take a rest, but they still couldn’t completely let go of their concerns.

They looked at each other.

"Alright, there must still be something unresolved. Let’s each share one," Xu Yang said, "Farosa, you first."

"I find it extremely difficult to fully control a woman like Kirino Reisei. She is very passive," Farosa said, "She knows the Secret Script; she could help me solve many issues. Every stone tablet and manuscript requires her effort to revise errors. Yet, her face is as cold as stone, her heart as firm as ice, never knowing when she might die, returning to the Galaxy."

Speaking of witches returning to the stars above, Farosa couldn’t help but look up at the sky. Ah, to take oneself away to the things beyond the stars would indeed require some effort.

When a witch is dying, she would hear the call of the cosmos, and Farosa knew this since ancient times. But, is it that only dead witches can see the starry sky? She didn’t believe this; she must see it for herself while still alive, to truly see what it’s like over there.

"Nanase Kizuna is working on a new comic," Lila said, "Just show her newly drawn comic to Kirino Reisei, and surely her mood will improve. Then it would be the right time to have a formal discussion with her."

"Kirino Reisei is a witch cut off from social connections," Xu Yang said, "She has always been living under a false identity. Now that she’s left the company and Nanase Kizuna, she’s like a free-floating fundamental atom, naturally prone to feelings of desolation. So, Farosa, just befriend her."

"I’m better at making enemies rather than friends," Farosa said, "Why don’t you go yourself?"

"I don’t like her," Xu Yang said, "Maybe it’s because of the long-term liaison work, I find her eerily gloomy. By contrast, Nanase Kizuna seems easier to get along with."

"They can’t adapt to the changes of the times," Lila said, "Their ability to control the company is slipping, and entities like the Tenjouin Family and Xisheng Capital are threatening their status at every moment. I think they had foreseen the day of their downfall; it’s just that the intrusion of Yama and the Martinez accelerated everything."

"So, what is troubling you, Lila?" Xu Yang inquired.

Lila lowered her head and laid out her troubles.

"Am I very cold-hearted?" she said, "Do you all think I’m exceptionally indifferent?"

"Yes, you are the most temperature-lacking thing in this world," Farosa said.

"Lately, yes," Xu Yang pondered, "I heard that when Blackfire invaded, you ordered the witches to hold Shijin Mansion, even though it was under fierce attack."

"That is your asset," Lila said.

"If we only focus on preserving assets blindly, people will suffer losses," Xu Yang said.

"Yes... that’s Lila’s trouble, unable to sense the meaning of people’s existence," Lila lowered her head, " It must be because of the progress of Magic Power. What’s the difference between the living and the dead, or between objects? Lila can no longer tell the difference. Everything is just numbers, made up of material and momentum, living amidst electromagnetic waves."

"You’re being foolish," Farosa mocked in a cheery tone, "Yes, that is your future. Should you be fortunate enough to become Supreme and Empress, you would not have an ounce of compassion left, becoming a machine that monitors the whole world. You would subject humans to a life of fear because they could not escape your surveillance. Moreover, you have already escaped the constraints of the stars, living atop a chip, imperishable for millennia, surpassing all secret rituals. The New Witch Council really needs someone like you. How did I not realize this quality of yours before?"

Farosa’s words made Lila even more distressed.

This was the inevitable path when facing the extraordinary. Lila thought quietly. When she was a Lower-Rank Witch, or even a High-Ranking Witch, she never experienced such feelings. Once promoted to Dominator and felt the significant increase in Magic Power, the entire city’s patterns and textures were completely exposed.

And the future...

What frightened Lila was not the power itself but that she knew one day she would subject even her master to the same cold scrutiny and dissection, and that moment would mark her complete loss of humanity.

"Have you ever looked at me?" Xu Yang asked, "Hmm, checked me with your Magic Power?"

Xu Yang’s words directly poked at Lila’s deepest fear, and she quickly stood up, ready to walk out. She was afraid to inspect her master’s condition, for if she saw through him completely, she didn’t know what would happen or whether it would dissolve her boundless reverence for him.

"You must have inspected Farosa," Xu Yang said, "Before the inspection, you didn’t like her; after the inspection, it’s still the same."

"What? Have you really seen something on me?" Farosa found it amusing.

"Yes," Lila paused, turned around, "Every cell, did you forget? The first day we met, I knew your skin was over a thousand years old."

"The ancient cherry blossom of the Eternal Cherry Blossom Shrine protects my body," Farosa said, "I think it could also be used to create new Divine Artifacts, or rather, treasures, or rather, what they promised, something that can transform a person into a Super Warrior."

"We’ll talk about that later," Xu Yang said, "Come on, Lila, look at me and scan me with your magic power."

Lila was stunned for a moment.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I’ll end up not recognizing my master." she said sadly, "Knowing too much, in turn, one may not find happiness."

"What you like, is it the body or the soul inside?" Xu Yang felt amused.

"Hurry up," Farosa said, "Lose your worship, then leave this stage, Xu Yang with just me is enough."

Lila released her magic power and carefully scanned Xu Yang.

This was indeed the first time she had completely unleashed her magic power on Xu Yang, her perceptive abilities searching him from head to toe, so clear and transparent that all the data were now produced and archived in Lila’s chip.

Then she found herself liking her master even more...

Because Xu Yang was actually a very straightforward person, with no part that could be deconstructed; what you saw was what you got—consistent inside and out. He was simply being himself.

That was great. Lila felt relieved, smiling.

And now she also knew how to deal with her own indifference.

If there was a lack of emotional connection, then she should take the initiative to strengthen it, starting from now to care for everyone around her, naturally starting with her master.

Being with her master was the greatest happiness.

"You look especially happy," Farosa observed Lila.

"Naturally," Lila sat on Xu Yang’s lap, and he took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Lila, "Lila is now with her master."

Due to the dangers that had come one after another recently, Lila had inadvertently intercepted a large number of emotional signals, and these suppressed signals were now being released, making her unusually unrestrained that day.

"You..." Farosa was somewhat annoyed, "Don’t paw at him."

"Master has special needs," Lila could tell, she turned towards Xu Yang, wrapping her arms around his waist, "as always, please allow Lila to take care of the management for you, with full responsibility. Yes... Lila likes her master just like this, forever!"
