Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 429 - 429 4 Distant Longing Part 2

429: Chapter 4: Distant Longing (Part 2) 429: Chapter 4: Distant Longing (Part 2) “Stupid.” Shiyu Ling scoffed.

The topic everyone had been eagerly discussing was what an ideal man would be like, but the Hunter’s lackluster response was like a bucket of cold water doused on everyone’s enthusiasm.

“Alice dear,” Kardesia said with a stern face, “please read the room!”

“Why should someone from Zero Island like me bother reading the room?” Shiyu Ling walked behind the landlord, reaching out to rub the blonde girl’s face.

“This kind of thing is meaningless, you know?”

Qin Qianbai stood up from her seat.

She stared into the eyes of the Creator Realm Mage and asked pointedly,

“Miss Shiyu, have you really never considered this matter?”

“How could I not?

Big sister here has loved fantasies until now.”

To everyone’s surprise, she simply denied it.

“But fantasies are just fantasies; dreams and reality are different.

No matter how exceptional the lover in your self-conjured dreams is, you can’t find someone exactly like that in real life.

Approaching romance with this mindset isn’t about finding someone who understands you, but rather seeking a delusional substitute.”

It was like chasing an arrow shot into the infinitely distant past; no matter how hard you run, you can’t catch up.

“…”

The young lady fell silent for a second, and just when her friends thought she was about to argue,

“Miss Shiyu occasionally makes some sensible remarks.

I’ve slightly changed my opinion of you.”

“Huh?

Think whatever you want, I don’t care about your opinions,” said a thoroughly bored Shiyu Ling.

“Be more grounded, you guys.

Start by securing a real man like chasing a little kitten, then talk about your ideal type.”

“Getting all high and mighty just from one compliment.” “Ugh!” “Stop it, I’m actually really shy~”

Compared to the varying responses of the small club trio, the wheelchair-bound witch began to look puzzled.

Shiyu Ling’s words also seemed to make sense…

Does it mean that her previous line of thinking was not wrong?

As a Creator Realm Mage, her considerations in this area must be deeper, right?

“Hey, Shiyu Ling.” “What is it?”

Lianna repeated her earlier thoughts and asked, “…So, thinking like this, isn’t it correct to be overly realistic?”

Shiyu Ling’s expression was as if she had bitten into a bitter melon.

“Yuck!

Didn’t expect you to be the most naive one here, to even constantly bring up something as idiotic as marriage…”

Lianna opened her mouth wide in surprise.

“Who was just preaching about being grounded half a minute ago?!”

“Who decided that women have to get married and have children?” Shiyu Ling got goosebumps all over, “No, just mentioning it makes me uncomfortable all over.

Marriage is not necessary!

It’s a life restraint!”

This view wasn’t particularly avant-garde among the folks of the Kardesia: Miss Kardesia had been a long-time single before she fell in love.

Hence, Qin Qianbai was not surprised but opposed this attitude: “Pursuing romance without wanting a family is very irresponsible.”

“Get some self-awareness,” Shiyu Ling said irritably.

“As someone from the inward, I don’t need to consider the norms of your outward society, and neither do you.

We are all Dragon Species and Impermanence Law Enforcers.

Limiting ourselves with so-called common sense and responsibility is just asking for trouble.”

This sounded unreasonable, but upon reflection, it was not.

Each Creator Realm Mage had the combat power of an entire nation, and for these superhuman beings, just not causing chaos was already a “good deed.” As for fighting for the greater good, it wasn’t an obligatory task but rather a personal choice.

Like a meteor streaking across the sky need not heed the terrestrial laws, the powerful beings of this inner world need not pay heed to the common sense of ordinary people.

This argument was so compelling that everyone momentarily lost their ability to rebut.

“Hmm…” Shiyu smiled with the posture of a victor.

To strengthen her argument, she turned her head to look at the female knight who had yet to find an opportunity to speak, asking her fellow Creator Realm Mage, Orianna:

“You understand, don’t you, Seventh Knight?”

“Huh?” Orianna seemed not to have come to her senses yet and sighed hesitantly.

“I think…”

The young female knight let out a soft breath as if bolstering herself, closed her eyes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and spoke in a tone slightly louder than normal conversation.

“Stepping into the halls of matrimony with a loved one is a very beautiful thing!”

“…Ha, huh?”

Against the backdrop of Shiyu Ling’s incredulous shriek, Miss Orianna Cavon cheerfully began to fantasize about her future.

“Just imagine, a girl dressed in a pure white wedding gown, making everlasting vows with her beloved, becoming husband and wife amid everyone’s blessings, it’s such a romantic scene!

Just the fantasy alone makes me laugh from the bottom of my heart, and I want to share this joy with everyone through my words!”

Orianna spoke dreamily, her smile as naive as a young girl in a choir though she spoke of worldly affections, her innocent voice conveyed an intense sense of purity.

So dazzling!

Feathers seemed to flutter in the air!

It was as if there was a Holy Light bursting beside her, causing the girls by the conference table to raise their hands in front of their eyes to block the intense light!

Shiyu Ling quickly retreated to a corner of the room, her movements cautious as if a witch avoiding the light of purification.

“Oh my God, you’re really that traditional!

I thought you were the strong, independent type!”
