Chapter 209: I Have Been Looking for You for a Long Time
The Demon King Castle changes every day, becoming more and more suitable for humans to live in.
Although Lin Lin began to feel a bit uncertain whether all of this was done by Mr. Fragment or by the Demon King Castle itself.
This guess may seem a bit silly, but Lin Lin thinks that the Demon King Castle has its own ideas, because sometimes the Demon King Castle helps Lin Lin hide things from Mr. Fragment.
"It’s so strange," said Lin Lin and Safir while lying in the coffin, "for example, the fragments of the god don’t know that this coffin can connect to the outside world, shouldn’t the gods be all-powerful?"
"I don’t know," said the voice of the Sapphire Dragon calmly, "to me, it only felt like five seconds since we last talked in the coffin. Honestly, you seem a bit noisy."
"I think I have been here for three or four days, but I’m not very sure, because time is all mixed up here and the clock doesn’t move," Lin Lin said.
"Magic is about to wrap around the entire demon realm," Safir began, "if you still haven’t captured the demon race, I might use the remains of his body in the coffin to try to push time backward."
Lin Lin understood that this was Safir’s final effort for the demon realm.
If the Demon King disappears, the demon realm won’t even have a risky chance to change time.
"Teacher Safir is really calm and cruel," Lin Lin complained.
"It’s you who is useless," said Sapphire Dragon sharply, "if you could complete the task as you promised, I wouldn’t have to take this risk."
Ah, it really is like this.
The other person spoke the truth, and Lin Lin could not argue.
Pushing open the coffin, Lin Lin was now able to easily climb out from inside.
By the time she left this dungeon, the pieces of the god would still not know she was here; this is Lin Lin and the Demon King Castle’s secret.
–
A gray sparrow landed on Lin Lin’s fingertips, its fluffy feathers brushing against her fingers, soft and warm, with a body temperature higher than that of a human.
"Are you alive?" Lin Lin asked.
The sparrow did not answer; it only tilted its head slightly at Lin Lin’s words, its bean-shaped eyes looking at her, and then it pecked gently at her fingertip with its light yellow beak.
When the sparrow took off again, the pieces of the god appeared behind Lin Lin.
The open window welcomed the spring breeze from outside, and Lin Lin rolled up a portion of her sleeve, revealing her pale white arm. Lin Lin turned to look at the young man with black hair who had appeared so suddenly.
"You scared away my bird," Lin Lin said.
The young man did not reply; he seemed to have come for the bird that should not be here.
The young man frowned slightly, gazing in the direction where the bird had flown away.
"You should stay away from it," he said.
Perhaps because those other scattered memories had already finished, the young man began to have time to spend on Lin Lin.
But mostly, he was just an observer, occasionally commenting on Lin Lin’s actions.
"Why?" Lin Lin turned around, her back to the window, and looked at the young man with black hair. "It’s too boring here; I can only find some fun."
"Isn’t it true that you split yourself into countless fragments and smuggled yourself into this world because you didn’t want to be trapped in the realm of the gods?"
Perhaps Lin Lin’s question was too direct, and the young man frowned once again.
He no longer responded to every word, having learned to ignore questions he found troubling.
It is truly delightful; he has grown.
"It won’t help if you go outside," the young man said. "The power to move time comes from the gods; you should stay here."
"I’ve been thinking about a question," Lin Lin took a step forward.
Knowing that Lin Lin often acted boldly, the young man instinctively stepped back.
Lin Lin stood on her tiptoes and reached out to him, her soft palm touching the young man’s cool face.
"When I touched the Demon King like this before, were you watching, my lord?"
Although Lin Lin often acted inappropriately, this moment of closeness felt too familiar, and the young man immediately turned his head to avoid her touch.
A bright white light shone from Lin Lin’s magic wand that she held at her waist. As pure darkness, the divine being greatly disliked the power of the old family.
This white light subtly helped Lin Lin trap the young man with black hair, forcing him to stay in place as she touched his face with both hands, gently urging him to lower his head and meet her gaze.
"If Your Majesty the Demon King has been watching me all along, then has the divine being also been watching me?"
"I haven’t…" The young man frowned, meeting the syrupy gaze of the human woman. He suddenly realized what she was doing and what she was testing.
This might be his final appearance in front of a human woman.
The young man fell silent. This time, he took the initiative to meet Lin Lin’s gaze and did not look away.
It didn’t matter how he felt; it didn’t matter what he did.
Because the words that the human woman spoke were not meant for him.
She spoke for another, for someone with an empty mind, someone foolish enough to fall for such a trap.
Her choice has always been clear.
Perhaps because it was close enough, this time, the fragment of the divine finally felt like a human woman’s gaze was upon it.
"The answer was told to you from the very beginning," the young man said.
"Hmm?" The human woman raised her eyelashes, looking at him with confusion.
"You asked why you were left here," the young man said.
He was covered in a white light, making his handsome and deep features shadowless, every inch of his skin completely exposed to the sunlight, unsure if it was the special light source or if the young man truly softened his expression.
The young man, who had always shown caution and calm indifference towards Lin Lin, revealed a slight softness.
"Because a piece of me remains within you, we might be the only fragments left," the young man replied.
Lin Lin’s eyes trembled slightly.
She then remembered that the young man spent all day in the office reading stories left behind by others; he was only missing her story.
"We…" Lin Lin whispered, reading along.
The young man looked down at her and softly nodded.
Then, he felt the cold darkness creeping up his back; another consciousness, filled with jealousy, opened its deep abyss and swallowed him whole.
Lin Lin silently watched the young man as his originally calm and peaceful eyes slowly faded, like purple sand being washed away by the tide.
The clear and cold essence around the god faded, and the young man with black hair was almost instantly wrapped up in swirling, heavy desire.
The demon bent down and reached out to embrace Lin Lin, not making his usual noise; this sudden embrace was warm and strong, with his arms tightening around her waist like a stone.
Lin Lin had to gently exhale, so she wouldn’t really be choked by this suffocating hug.
She kept silent and did not say a word.
A few seconds later, she heard the very familiar voice, so full of words that it seemed noisy even in the vast Demon King Castle where he was alone.
"Lin! Lin… Lin!"
Lin Lin walked forward with big steps, ignoring the young man behind her who was chasing and calling her name.
Lin Lin finally stopped and turned around, seeing the young man’s misty purple eyes, looking like he was about to cry.
No, tears were just a tool for this guy.
Having learned enough about the demon race, Lin Lin looked coldly at the young man, "Tell me clearly what is happening."
After getting slapped on the forehead a few times, the young man cried, holding his forehead and complaining, "I was looking for you, but I couldn’t reach you. Teacher Safir said that gods can travel through time, so He brought me here."
"It’s not that simple to bring you here," Lin Lin said angrily, "and by not letting me leave this space, you want to trap me here."
"You have no idea!" Lin Lin put her hands on her hips, "Teacher Safir in this world is moving the time of the demon realm forward; it’s very important to save the demon realm."
"Or do you know?" Lin Lin suddenly became alert.
"I don’t know, it was all the God of Darkness," the young man quickly distanced himself, "I only remember being unconscious during that time."
Seeing how easily he shifted the blame, Lin Lin felt a bit more sympathy for the God of Darkness.
"Alright, then let me leave here first," Lin Lin said.
There was no answer.
Lin Lin looked up and stared at the young man.
Lin Lin suddenly remembered that even when the little lamb was still a baby, she had never seen him under the control of the divine fragments.
His decision-making power was greater than the fragments.
"Stay here," the young man said, his voice very muffled, "I have been looking for you for a long time."
"Where should I look for you next time?"
