Chapter 27: Conscience? Doesn’t Exist

After the waiter left the scene, the treacherous merchant owner also found a random excuse to leave.

So now, only the three of us are left.

“Yuren~” Aisilis called my name with a smile, but for some reason, I felt a little creeped out.

“Yuren~ why have you never told me you have such a friend?”

“Er… well,” Suddenly faced with Aisilis’s question, I was a little at a loss for how to answer.

“Aisilis, the number one of the Swordsman Academy, one of the three great beauties of the three academies. Together with the president of the Hero Academy, Lianna, they are known as the Iceberg Duo. Two years ago, she participated in the ‘Legendary Hero’ duel tournament and lost to the president of the Hero Academy, Lianna, by a single sword’s-length in the finals…”

Oak seemed to know Aisilis very well, easily rattling off a lot of information about her. In fact, there were some things even I didn’t know.

“But, to be honest, I went to watch that match. Including the judges present at the time and myself, no one thought you would lose in the end. Your winning probability was even as high as 80%. It’s a bit strange that you suddenly lost in the end.”

After hearing this, Aisilis’s face looked a little unsightly as she looked at Oak. But none of that is important. What’s important is, Aisilis lost? What kind of monster could have beaten her? Did they have three hands? Or two heads?

“Ah… sorry, I didn’t mean anything by that. I was just venting a little, after all, I bet my entire fortune on you… although I lost quite badly in the end…”

Noticing Aisilis’s gaze, Oak quickly explained. But his desperate tone at the end also let me know that this was a man with a story. Sigh, I can understand how desperate it is to think you’re sure to win, only to lose everything. I can almost see how Oak lived during that period after losing his entire fortune.

“But what surprised me a little is that as the beauty of the three academies, you’re already married. And the person you married is so…” Oak said, glancing at the rings on my and Aisilis’s hands.

“So… or… dinary. If those people in the Hero Academy knew, they would definitely jump off a building.”

“Hey, you were going to say ‘ordinary’, right? Where am I ordinary? And there’s not much difference between ‘ordinary’ and ‘plain’, okay?” Although I was unconvinced, he knew that Aisilis and I were married just by a ring. This b*stard is not to be underestimated…

“How could that be? We’re best friends. How could a best friend say their best friend is ordinary? As for ‘plain’, that’s the most descriptive word I can think of for you since I met you. But don’t worry, now that you’ve met me, your future life is destined to be anything but plain.”

“The way you say it with such certainty makes me want to smash your face with a rock.”

Aisilis remained silent, and her expression grew uglier and uglier, as if she would explode in the next second. But I was busy joking around with Oak, so I didn’t see.

Who is this person? Don’t pretend to be so familiar with Yuren. Best friend? Yuren doesn’t need something like that at all. He only needs me. It’s disgusting, this man… his whole body is filled with a disgusting smell, just like that woman. Tsk, trash, don’t defile Yuren with your filthy hands!

Aisilis glared at Oak, who had his hand on my shoulder. But I didn’t notice Aisilis’s expression at all.

“Mmm, that’s about it… then I’ll be taking my leave, my best friend.”

After whispering a sentence, Oak began to say goodbye.

“Yes, yes, don’t get caught dining and dashing again, you shameless hero.”

“Hehe, you too. But what a pity your life is.” Oak smiled, shook his head, and walked towards the door.

“Hey, what do you mean? And isn’t that what I should be saying to you?” I shouted towards the door.

“You’ll know what I mean in the future.” Waving his hand, Oak left coolly without looking back.

“What’s wrong with him? It’s so strange, right, Aisilis?” Hearing Oak’s nonsensical words, I turned and asked Aisilis.

“Aisilis?”

Aisilis was staring at the door in a daze, and seemed to not have heard my voice, so I called out again.

“Mmm? Yuren~ what do you want to eat tonight?”

“Um… don’t you think it’s a bit too early to be discussing this? After all, it’s only just past noon. And this is an inn, we can order food whenever we’re hungry.”

“Is that so? But if Yuren is hungry, you must tell me. It’s a wife’s duty to prepare dinner for her husband. And I don’t want Yuren to eat food made by others.”

“As long as you’re happy… then I’ll go back to my room and sleep. I just finished washing the dishes, and I’m suddenly a little tired.”

With a big yawn, I walked towards my room.

Aisilis watched Yuren Xing’s back with a gentle expression from behind, and even after he disappeared from her sight, there was still a hint of reluctance on her face. But in just an instant, the expression on her face turned cold…

After Oak left the inn, he wandered the streets, a lollipop he had tricked out of a little girl’s mouth in his mouth, not caring at all about the gazes the people on the street cast upon him.

“Sigh, being too handsome is also a sin. I should go somewhere with no people.”

With that, Oak began to walk towards a less crowded place.

After passing through a few streets, although he was still the center of attention of the pedestrians, the number of people gradually decreased… Finally, after walking into a secluded alley… only Oak was left.

“Come out, you’ve been following me for so long. If you want to make a move, this is the best place.” Suddenly stopping, Oak said to his back.

A slight breeze blew past, and an old woman walked out of the previously empty alley… The old woman looked at Oak with a surprised expression, then walked towards another corner of the alley, muttering to herself,

“He went crazy at such a young age. What a pity, he’s such a handsome young man.”

“…No… wait a minute, aunty, I don’t have paranoid delusions…”

The old woman didn’t hear… Oak covered his face with his hand.

“Was it my imagination? There’s no one here at all. Forget it…”

Oak continued to walk forward…

The waiter was very unlucky today. Not only did he offend his boss, but he also made the behind-the-scenes boss’s ‘pretty boy’ wash the dishes.

“It seems I have to find a new job.”

He was dealing with the trash in his hands in the back alley of the inn, and the waiter didn’t see the young girl in a maid’s uniform standing behind him…

I am a deep-sea fish, swimming freely in the sea every day, without any constraints. Although I am occasionally chased by other large carnivorous fish, over time, I have also come to see it as a kind of fun.

Today, I was still playing happily in the sea… but, I feel that the seawater tastes a bit strange today. There’s a very fragrant smell… and… it’s a bit suffocating. Wait a minute, I’m a fish, why would I feel suffocated in the sea? Have all the years I’ve been a fish been a lie? Impossible, but I really can’t breathe… ahhhhh, help, is there any fish that can save me…

With a feeling of suffocation, I struggled to wake up from my sleep. I hadn’t opened my eyes yet, but I felt that something was pressing on me. And there was something constantly moving in my mouth…

“Aisilis…” As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Aisilis on top of me. We were kissing. And the thing moving in my mouth is your tongue… Pervert… what are you doing while someone is taking a nap?

“Ah, you’re awake, Yuren❤.”

She sat up straight on top of me, and after pulling away, she licked the saliva at the corner of her mouth. But I also saw the full view of Aisilis. Ah, my eyes… no… my nose… nosebleed, my nosebleed is about to come down.

Aisilis was wearing a transparent gauze dress, and underneath was a set of black silk. It was very bold to dress like that.

“Do you like it? I chose it especially for Yuren.” She seemed very proud, and even lifted her clothes to let me see more clearly.

“Enough… Aisilis, why are you on my bed? And where are my clothes? I remember I was wearing clothes when I went to sleep.”

I stopped Aisilis and noticed that my clothes were gone.

“Mmm~ because they were in the way, so I helped Yuren take them off.”

Huh? Are you kidding me? Took them off? You took off my clothes while I was sleeping, and I didn’t even feel it… to have such an understanding wife… I’m really… so happy!😭

“So, Yuren, tell me everything. About that man today. Tell me everything you know.”

Pressing my arm with her hand, Aisilis said, face to face.

“Um… even if you want to know… you don’t have to do it like this! We can totally sit down and have a cup of tea and chat slowly. So… let me get up first, I’ll go make some tea.”

With that, I wanted to get up, but I was forcefully pressed down on the bed by Aisilis.

“No~ I want to listen to Yuren like this. Come on, Yuren, tell me everything about your best friend. How you met, where you met, tell me everything. Depending on Yuren’s answer, I’ll consider giving you a reward or a punishment~ so, to avoid being punished, you have to do your best. Darling“

Oh no… her eyes look serious. But will I give in? Will I give in to a little threat? Will my conscience be able to bear it if I betray my friend? Hmph, you’re kidding. Don’t say you’re threatening me, even if you don’t threaten me, if you want to know about Oak, I… will definitely tell you everything. After all, sometimes it’s better to eat your conscience…

I’m sorry, Oak. My life is more important than your information.
