LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 21: I Don’t Mind
Sui Li’er glanced up and realized why the beautiful figure on the temple looked so familiar—wasn’t it the symbol of the Pisces Constellation?
But the Pisces Constellation is tens of thousands of kilometers away from Nanyun City! How did Chen Ling bring her here in an instant? Is this the power of god?
“The Pisces Constellation, the Pisces Star Leader… um… Lady Yunming, that’s where she lives!”
“It seems so, but who cares?” Chen Ling casually remarked. “Do you like it? If you do, we can live here in the future.”
“Huh?”
“Can people even live here?” Sui Li’er looked puzzled as she lowered her head and glanced around. The Constellation Palaces were not meant for human habitation; they were temples of the Twelve Star Leaders!
She was so astonished that she didn’t even notice Chen Ling had used the word “we” in his statement. If she had noticed, she would have been overjoyed.
Initially, Chen Ling had planned to find a random place to lie down and rest for five years. But since he had encountered Sui Li’er, he wanted to choose a nice place for her. Of course, he wanted to give her the best dwelling in the world.
He directly searched for the best house through the system, and the system recommended the Twelve Constellation Palaces.
If we talk about the most magnificent Constellation Palace, it would be the Pisces Constellation. Not only is it enormous, but its internal structure is also incredibly mesmerizing, fully embodying the enchanting style of the Pisces zodiac.
Although the others are not bad either.
The Twelve Constellation Palaces were initially created as twelve colossal celestial temples dedicated to worshiping the Twelve Star Leaders. They were solely intended for the purpose of worship.
However, over time and with the changing era, they gradually evolved into something resembling an organization. This place is no longer just for housing; it has become a gathering place for global authorities.
This year is the Year of Aries, and the Aries Constellation Palace is in power, so it’s more lively on that side. There aren’t many people here in the Pisces Constellation Palace, making it relatively quiet. There aren’t many people in the clouds either.
Since it’s the Pisces Constellation, everyone here is from the Pisces curse star. The people inside are all here to serve the Star Leader.
“This thing was created for people to live in, right?” Chen Ling casually remarked, glancing at the temple and feeling quite satisfied.
“But… this is the residence of the Pisces Star Leader…” Sui Li’er herself is a Pisces, so she must hold great respect for the Pisces Star Leader. In this world, everyone reveres the Star Leader of their own curse star as if they were deities. Sui Li’er, on the other hand, only respects the Star Leader and knows that they are powerful. Unfortunately, being powerful is useless when no one can see herself. In her heart, there has always been only Chen Ling.
“Who cares? Just say you like it.” Chen Ling didn’t care who lived here.
“Huh?” Sui Li’er looked puzzled. What’s there to like or dislike… She didn’t have any feelings about it. But suddenly, she remembered something. Rule number two for interacting with Lord God: Never say you don’t like something, or the Lord God might kill someone… or blow up the house.
She couldn’t help but feel scared in her heart: If I say I don’t like it, will he go and kill the Star Leader or blow up this temple?
Sui Li’er secretly glanced at Chen Ling.
Chen Ling, seeing her silent for a while, was about to comment on her dawdling when he suddenly remembered that she is prone to crying easily. He sighed and gently said to her: “Do you like it or not? Just tell me.”
Sui Li’er looked at Chen Ling’s gentle expression and couldn’t help but feel delighted: Has the Lord God become gentle?
“Well… I like it?”
“Okay, as long as you like it, then I’ll go and kill the Pisces Star Leader.”
“From now on, this place will be yours.”
“Huh?” Before Sui Li’er could react, “Buzz…” A powerful energy suddenly enveloped her. She had a feeling as if the world was being submerged in water. She felt as if she were floating in the sea.
At this moment, Chen Ling’s aura exploded!
The entire Rune Continent seemed to freeze, as if the air itself had congealed. His terrifying power instantly shrouded the entire world. Destroying the world was just a thought away.
This was Chen Ling, this was a divine being.
Everyone felt an invisible oppressive force, they all raised their heads and looked towards the sky. At the same time, the Star Leaders of the other Twelve Constellation Palaces flashed and appeared on their respective temples. They looked in astonishment towards the direction of the Pisces Constellation Palace.
The Aries Star Leader, standing on the Aries Celestial Palace, furrowed his brow and directly set off.
“Something’s happening at the Pisces Celestial Palace!? Xiao Jiu seems to be not there, I have to go and see.”
“Oh my… This aura, it’s too terrifying…” In his heart, the Aries Star Leader couldn’t help but reveal a smile of murderous intent.
The Virgo Constellation Palace, which had a good relationship with the Pisces Constellation Palace, also sent reinforcements immediately.
The other Palaces, however, remained silent. The relationships among the Twelve Constellation Palaces were complex and not unified.
“Wait… wait a minute! Chen Ling!” Sui Li’er was completely baffled…
When she said she didn’t like something before, Chen Ling blew up that shop, and now, when she said she liked something, Chen Xing wanted to kill the Star Leader.
What on earth should I say then!
“What’s wrong?” Chen Ling’s aura slightly subsided.
“What are you trying to do… You can’t kill people.”
“If you like this place, I’ll give it to you.”
“Why… Why would you give it to me?”
Chen Ling calmly said: “You’ve always wanted a home, right? This place will be your home from now on.”
Upon hearing this, a smile tugged at the corner of Sui Li’er’s mouth: So he wants to give me a home…
What does this mean… Cough… Could it be…
Unable to hold back, Chen Ling asked as he saw her in a daze again: “What’s wrong? Don’t want to?”
“I do!” Sui Li’er suddenly exclaimed.
Chen Ling: ??? “If you’re willing, you’re willing… Why shout so loud?”
Sui Li’er blushed: “I… I’m sorry…”
Chen Ling, seeing her always apologizing, couldn’t help but say: “It’s okay, it’s okay. Please, from now on, don’t apologize to me anymore. I’m begging you…”
“Oh! Okay! I got it!”
Another rule was added to the guidelines for interacting with the Lord God: Rule Four: Do not apologize to the Lord God.
“Well… If I don’t apologize, what should I say then?”
Chen Ling rubbed his forehead, expressing helplessness: “Say whatever you want. First, tell me, do you want to live here?”
“Well… If I say I don’t want to, will you blow it up?”
Chen Ling chuckled upon hearing that, his face expressing: Am I that kind of person?
“No, I wouldn’t blow it up. Why would I do that?”
“Oh, that’s good, hehe…” Sui Li’er smiled happily: “I don’t like it, so I won’t live here.”
Chen Ling yawned: “Then where do you want to live?”
“Um…” Sui Li’er thought for a moment. She actually had a dream, which was to visit Chen Ling’s home, just like visiting the home of a good friend… Getting to know Chen Ling’s mom and dad, and his younger sister~
Um… Do I need to bring a gift if I suddenly visit them? Chen Ling’s parents should be able to see me, right… Is Chen Ling’s sister also very pretty…
Sui Li’er’s imagination went wild. She even started thinking about what to say when she first meets his parents.
Chen Ling noticed that she seemed lost in thought and gently waved his hand in front of her: “Hey, what are you thinking about?”
Sui Li’er snapped out of it and asked softly, pursing her lips: “Um… Chen Ling…”
“What’s wrong? Just say it.”
Sui Li’er hesitated, feeling like Chen Ling might reject her: “Where is your home… I want to go to your home… to hang out? Can I?”
Chen Ling: “Are you dreaming?”
“Uh…”
Sui Li’er didn’t expect to be rejected so quickly…
“I already told you my home is far away. I can’t even go back myself. It’ll be five years before I can return.”
During these five years of internship, he couldn’t leave this dimension.
“Oh… I see…” Hearing Chen Ling’s explanation, Sui Li’er felt relieved. “In five years, it’s possible then. Um… forget it!”
Chen Ling imagined the scene of taking her home and couldn’t help but furrow his brow. He continued, “If I take you home, my parents will definitely treat you like my girlfriend, bombarding you with questions. It’ll be annoying.”
Sui Li’er nodded as she listened, thinking to herself: Being treated as Chen Ling’s girlfriend…
For some reason, she found herself looking forward to it. “Oh… well, actually, I don’t mind. Hehe~”
Chen Ling: “…”
