Chapter 774: Chapter 643: Black Hole

Madam Medusa looked at Xu Yang with affectionate eyes, as she had grown quite familiar with him over the half year of daily and nightly companionship.

He was dignified, like the morning sun, his appearance and manners nothing like those of a common countryman; his conversation and knowledge far exceeded that of various nobles, and even if he claimed to be a prince from a Foreign Great Country, Madam Medusa would have had no trouble believing him.

In this era, women were merely property, their autonomy unreachable. Madam Medusa had grown accustomed to her humble existence. Yet Xu Yang treated her with great care, not only taking over all the household chores but also talking with her every day, keeping her company to alleviate her boredom. For a woman who had previously been in despondence, nothing could be more blissful than this.

At the moment, her eyes were bright as she gazed at Xu Yang, displaying her flawless jade-like figure, hoping he would take notice and from henceforth bring her endless joy.

Madam Medusa’s eyes held a seductive charm, irresistible to anyone. Xu Yang, since he entered this world of memories, had abstained for six months, and by his nature had accumulated a substantial desire for release, though he too had something to say, so as to prevent any deep misunderstandings.

"But... Madam, I am Farosa’s betrothed in the future," Xu Yang emphasized.

"You are getting married? Oh, I mean... will you get married in the future, in the time from which you come?" Madam Medusa’s expression changed slightly.

"Yes, although the wedding is still far off," Xu Yang explained.

"I really wish I could be there to see that day. Do I... not have such an opportunity?" Madam Medusa sighed.

"I’m afraid not, Madam..." Xu Yang consoled Madam Medusa.

"And what about you?" Madam Medusa asked despondently, "Even if you marry, poor, unfortunate Little Farosa won’t have her parents’ blessing... Such a marriage would be flawed. What about your side? Will your parents attend to bless your marriage?"

"My parents also passed away early," Xu Yang sighed.

"Come here, child," Madam Medusa kissed Xu Yang.

Her lips were soft and sweet, like honey, her warm breath scorching as it brushed his face, and her body, hot as a lamb’s, gradually pressed closer, her skin as tender as fat leaning towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang felt Madam Medusa was ripe and fragrant, like a furnace filled with syrup edging closer to him.

"Madam Medusa..." Xu Yang said with difficulty.

"We both understand that I am the only one who can bless your marriage now, child. You must carry my best wishes with you as you go on, and make Farosa happy," Madam Medusa positioned herself atop Xu Yang, finding the proper alignment quickly.

—Imposing her early blessings on the wedding of Xu Yang and Farosa.

Long-standing emptiness, nothingness, and sorrow were all obliterated, wash away by a surge of heat.

At this stage, there was no need for further words.

Madam Medusa could not contain her joy throughout the night.

To avoid startling Farosa, Madam Medusa endured without making a sound all night.

She was drenched in sweat, exceedingly content... Xu Yang was quite thorough and substantial in what he gave to Madam Medusa.

Until the brink of dawn began to brighten.

"...Now I am assured that being with you will lead Farosa to a good ending," Madam Medusa murmured weakly. From then on, Farosa would never lack happiness, a thought that put Madam Medusa’s mind completely at ease.

"Of course," Xu Yang said confidently as they lay side by side.

"But you must take good care of her," Madam Medusa emphasized. "You must provide her with the right guidance, help her to become an upright Witch."

"I know, but sometimes I feel I can’t control her," Xu Yang said.

"She can take advice; she just needs your understanding and your trust," Madam Medusa insisted.

"I understand..." Xu Yang had already been practicing such methods, preferring to believe that Farosa could handle things on her own.

Madam Medusa whispered many things into Xu Yang’s ear, hoping he would relay these messages in person to Farosa when she grew up.

She spoke words of heartfelt emotion, filled with all of Madam Medusa’s concern and affection for her daughter Farosa. Xu Yang made a vow that once he left the memory space, he would pass on every word, so adult Farosa could also know her mother’s love.

Later on, Little Farosa continued to live in the log cabin.

Most of her time was spent reading, and the rest hunting in the forest or farming around the cabin; she and her mother had cleared a patch of land by the riverbank where they grew radishes, potatoes, and leeks. Under her mother’s guidance, she became keenly aware of the land and the state of the crops.

Farm work and the days in the wilderness had completely honed Little Farosa’s figure and skin. She had become strong and her skin rough, like a wild person, speaking with a hoarse voice, feigning depth, without any noble demeanor remaining. Even from Xu Yang’s perspective, Little Farosa had become too rustic.

She could wander into any village and find a dozen girls just like her. Little Farosa only had more extensive knowledge and proficient literacy skills than they did.

No wonder future generations, upon encountering all the Mystics, unanimously referred to Farosa as "the village girl from Aquilia," Xu Yang mused to himself.

Madam Medusa personally sewed a white headscarf and brown skirt for Little Farosa to wear so she wouldn’t get dirty. Her hands carried hoes and bows by day and turned book pages by night. As she grew up in the wilderness, she became increasingly peculiar and lively, never diminishing in vitality but growing more energetic instead.

Whenever she left home to go on adventures in other parts of the valley, her room was left to Madam Medusa and Xu Yang. Madam Medusa gained the happy life she had dreamed of, and Xu Yang knew this was an important compensation.

Madam Medusa’s original ending was nothing short of tragic, only in this illusory world of memories could they rebuild a segment of precious memories.

When spring arrived the next year, Little Farosa sat by the clear blue river in the center of the valley, her feet soaking in the water.

"Memories are like a river," Little Farosa called back to Xu Yang.

"Yes, just like a river! Have you remembered something?" Xu Yang walked to Little Farosa’s side.

"I read it from a book, it wasn’t what I thought. Books hold more secrets, more answers to things." Little Farosa watched the clear river water, stirring the colorful stones at the bottom with her feet.

"Have you finished reading all the books we bought? Remembered them all?"

"Yes, but where is that enough? I want more! I want to read even more books," Little Farosa said, looking up.

"In this era, only the Church has a sufficient collection of books." Xu Yang suddenly realized this was the perfect moment to connect Little Farosa’s experiences with the trajectory of her future life.

"What does a Witch who joins the Church have to do?"

"Read books, recite scriptures, sweep, clear goblins from the fields, investigate supernatural phenomena and such," Xu Yang recalled the words Farosa herself had once said to him.

"That sounds fun," Little Farosa’s eyes lit up.

"The Church is a good place to transition, they give mutual support to Witches. It’s not like the Witch Council, where you get manipulated by the most powerful witch councilors after joining," Xu Yang gently persuaded.

"You seem to know a lot of things," Little Farosa observed Xu Yang. "Do you know what I will become in the future?"

"You will become a Witch who surpasses all other Witches," Xu Yang squatted down to look at Little Farosa. "You will be their hope! Would you like to be the hope of all Witches, to lead them forward?"

"Mm!" Little Farosa nodded vigorously.

Although she was dirty on the outside, her heart was pure and bright. Life here had washed away the resentment and violence from Little Farosa’s heart.

A village girl, the greatest village girl in history, was about to leave this secluded valley and head to the chapel on the banks of the Seine River in Orlean.

Xu Yang had planned to let Little Farosa adapt for a few more months before setting out, but Madam Medusa eagerly urged Little Farosa to leave and quickly prepared the food and package needed for the long journey.

"Aren’t you coming with me, Mom?" Little Farosa hesitated, watching Madam Medusa pack everything neatly.

"No, child, they don’t need me, and all who voluntarily join the Church will receive the best treatment," Madam Medusa said with a smile.

"Oh! But I’ll come back, Mom. When I settle down there, I’ll run back here when I find the time. I’m very good at running, I run very fast," Little Farosa said earnestly.

"Mom believes you," Madam Medusa’s tone was gentle.

That night, Madam Medusa came to Xu Yang’s room as usual.

She closed the door, smiling at Xu Yang.

"I don’t understand why Madam isn’t going with Little Farosa..." Xu Yang hesitated.

"Because she might be a bit nervous if I keep following her..." Madam Medusa sighed.

"Nervous?"

"She’s going to have a little brother or sister," Madam Medusa said casually.
