The gigantic eye that had suddenly appeared was extremely horrifying to look at from below.
Suo Fei and Samael just happened to be inside the passage, giving them enough cover to escape the sight of the gigantic eye.
The eye glanced around the room. Then, it stared at the unconscious Harris Vargo.
After a while, the gigantic eye suddenly left, leaving a roofless ceiling. Suo Fei was perplexed. It just left? What the—?
The eye had disappeared. Then, a large tree immediately came from above. That’s right… It was a large tree that was no less than a person’s armspan. However, the tree had been cut horizontally, thus it was no longer a tree. It had become a large tree log.
There seemed to be something holding the other end of the log. Suo Fei looked on as the log’s end landed on the ground and moved clumsily. It took a long time for it to reach Harris’ side.
Suo Fei watched in fear as it grew closer to Harris. If such a large log thumped Harris… It would be fine if the bloke was awake as he could just break it with a slap. However, he was still unconscious. Suo Fei also wasn’t sure whether he had a self-defense shield or something. If he didn’t, then he would be crippled from that strike, if not dead.
Suo Fei still had a favourable impression of Harris. Although this brat tended to act like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, he was not the least bit lacking in terms of the Beastkin’s straightforward and enthusiastic nature. It would be such a pity for him to be crushed to death.
However, Suo Fei also wasn’t sure of the current situation, hence he dared not rashly go out. If he revealed himself, he would most likely implicate Samael and the little cub. He simply couldn’t come to a decision.
At this time, the large log finally reached Harris’ side. Then, it clumsily yet very cautiously bumped into Harris. First bump, no response. Second bump, still no response.
During the third time, it could be seen that the fellow ‘holding’ the log was becoming somewhat irritated. He used more strength, directly flipping Harris over.
Suo Fei: How could you be so rough towards a beauty!
Harris remained asleep despite the jolting, except that his position changed from lying on his side to lying prostrate on the ground.
⸺What a classic pose of a beauty lying prone like a dog!
Seeing him this way, the log abruptly stopped. After a long while, he finally managed to restrain his temper and resumed on budging Harris.
Suo Fei finally came to a realisation when he saw him tossing about. It seemed that the ‘log’ wanted to make Harris lie on his back.
Unfortunately, the tree log was too large and Harris was too slim, making it hard for him to control his strength.
Let’s put ourselves in his position. Imagine trying to flip an ant over using a chopstick. It would be really difficult, no?
Fortunately, although he was moving the log somewhat rashly, he was still slightly cautious. He tossed about for a while before finally successfully turning Harris over, revealing his precious face.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Then, the log withdrew away from the roof and, unsurprisingly, the gigantic eye appeared once again.
Sure enough, this thing was the one who was budging Harris.
The gigantic eye turned to carefully look at Harris. A trace of disappointment flashed in it when it saw him.
After that, he seemed somewhat unreconciled. The gigantic eye strenuously observed him several times more. Unfortunately, the room was too small for him and he could only survey him for a long time.
At last, the gigantic eye finally left. After a while, the roof that had disappeared was actually returned.
Suo Fei, who watched the whole farce, only had this reaction: o (╯ □ ╰) o.
Everything returned to the way it had been before. He initially thought that the gigantic eye was a murderous monster. Hence, he tried to think of a way to fight against it but it turned out to be just a false alarm.
At this time, Samael quietly spoke, “He should be looking for someone.”
Suo Fei came to the same conclusion as Samael. Thinking about it carefully, he indeed seemed to be looking for someone. Lancelot and Abel had been lying on their backs thus he could already see them clearly. Harris, who was lying on his side, was the only one whose face he could not see. Thus, the gigantic eye made a large log to move him. After seeing his face clearly, he discovered that Harris didn’t seem to be the person he was looking for. Hence, he disappointedly left.
The farce boggled his mind but knowing that he was looking for someone was of no use to them. There were too many strange things in this treasury. They didn’t even get a single gold coin, let alone any artifact. It first deceived the people who entered the treasury before proceeding to kill them. Then now, it placed them in a maze game. In conclusion, they should act in a low-key manner since it would be better to court less disasters.
Turning his mind to the situation at hand, Suo Fei refused to believe that Harris didn’t wake up from all that disturbance.
With the large log budging him like that, he would have woken up from a shock, let alone a brief unconsciousness.
Obviously, he was just pretending to be unconscious. If he had not covertly flipped himself over in the end, the large tree log would have fiddled with him for God knows how long just to see his face.
Suo Fei quietly stayed inside the dark passage. After a while, he saw Harris opening his eyes and quickly jumping to his feet, his actions as nimble as a cheetah.
After looking around to determine the situation he was in, Harris squinted his long and narrow eyes and relaxed his vigilance, accentuating his inherent fragility.
He successively scrutinised the three unconscious people. He first stared at Abel in silence before walking towards Lancelot. The Beastkins were on friendly terms with the Demons whereas Celestials were on friendly terms with the Elves. Harris was in a good mood after seeing the unconscious Lancelot. He slightly bent forward and his gaze landed on his enormous wings. Then, he reached out to pull out a handful..
Suo Fei: Bro… Do you think that’s chicken feathers? Also, what a shame that I actually forgot to pull out a handful. The feathers of the Celestials are very valuable. They could even be considered as rare material.
Harris was too aggressive thus he directly plucked a big handful as if he was plucking sheep wool. The wings now had a small f**king patch of bald spot.
After the assault, he quickly moved to Abel’s side and kicked him hard in the butt. His movements were quick and decisive. Obviously, he had thought of doing this a long time ago.
After that, the brat ‘delicately’ 【fog】 cried out and fell down on his side. Then, he continued acting unconscious.
A handful of feathers had been plucked out from Lancelot and Abel’s butt had been kicked fiercely. The two woke up almost simultaneously and the first thing they saw were each other’s faces.
Their rage value immediately rose straight to its maximum value.
Lancelot: F**k, dared to pluck Laozi’s wool, I mean, feathers?!
Abel: F**k, dared to kick Laozi’s a**hole, I mean, butt?!
Both, in unison: Bastard, Laozi will beat you up!
As a result, the two paid no heed to their current location and impulsively started fighting each other.
Suo Fei: … Y’all are blinding my delicate eyes.
He held Samael’s hand and lead the little cub. Then, he hurriedly walked deep into the passage. I must be far away from these two vermins or else I would definitely be f**king infected!
It was pitch-black inside the passage. Even though Suo Fei used his illuminating spell, they still couldn’t see far ahead. Hence, they could only walk slowly. Nevertheless, Suo Fei didn’t have any sense of fear with Samael by his side. Instead, it felt rather wonderful as the two walked with their hands entwined deep into the mysterious passage.
Therefore, don’t associate a normal person’s way of thinking with that of a person in love, especially if one of them was already not normal to begin with.
Even though they walked slowly, they reached the end of the passage not a long while after. It was a wall, or rather, it was a tightly shut door.
Suo Fei increased the intensity of the illuminating spell, exposing the whole door from the magic’s light.
It was a jet-black door of unknown material that felt bone-piercingly cold to touch. Suo Fei, after all, was still an elf so he could still understand magic. He felt powerful magical fluctuations with just a slight touch. Obviously, there was a magic barrier on the door.
Suo Fei initially wanted Samael to open the door with brute force, but ceased the thought after discovering the barrier’s presence. If it was rashly destroyed, it could lead to a powerful magic explosion. It was hard to say what would happen at that time.
Suo Fei carefully studied the door. There wasn’t any keyhole or knob. It was only a smooth surface.
“Here.” Samael prompted Suo Fei to move the illuminating spell upwards.
At the uppermost corner, there was a round, palm-sized disc that was carved with an embossed symbol. Suo Fei keenly inspected it.
After a while, he hesitantly asked, “Is it a flame symbol?”
Samael nodded and placed his hand on top of the symbol. It lit up for a moment and then went dark again.
He took his hand away and told Suo Fei after a thought, “Try it.”
Suo Fei placed his hand and it immediately lit up. It didn’t turn dark but there also wasn’t any other changes. It merely glimmered a crimson glow like a blazing hot flame.
There was only this change. They didn’t see any other change no matter how they examined it, let alone the opening of the door.
But why did the flame light up after Suo Fei placed his hand on it?
Puzzled, they could only forget about it for now. They walked back through the passage into the room.
Lancelot and Abel had finished fighting each other. They were tiredly panting for breath, but they had already regained their rationality. Harris, who feigned unconsciousness, and Manzy had also woken up.
When Suo Fei and Samael appeared, the four of them turned to look at them one after another.
Samael and Suo Fei were still in disguise and seemed to be two ordinary demons.
Suo Fei used his facial paralysis skill under their gazes, remaining still and impassive.
Samael straightforwardly said, “We are trapped in here. It would be better for us to think of a way to go out together.”
Lancelot vigilantly observed them. The Demons were never easy to deal with. He didn’t trust any Demon.
“Who are you?”
“Samael.” His voice was calm as he continued, “This is Suo Fei.”
Hearing the name, Manzy’s gaze sharply landed at Suo Fei. Slight exhaustion could be seen in his silver eyes, but it now zealously stared at Suo Fei.
Suo Fei didn’t expect Samael to directly reveal his real name. He could only continue to put on a stoic expression. He believed in his Disguise Spell. It wasn’t because he looked down on his lil’ shous, but because it was truly difficult for them to see through it with their current ability.
Sure enough, after staring at him for a long time, the zeal in Manzy’s eyes was quashed and he resumed a cold and indifferent appearance.
It’s only a Demon that has the same name…
The author has something to say: There are too many evil influences around me. There’s anime, novels, movies, TV dramas, WOW and all kinds of single-player games… And then there’s the beautiful J3 characters who are ready to make trouble.
My god, give me ten more hours in a day!
Pleaaaase stick to that novel! I need something that will make me cry, I need dog blood! There are a lot of light hearted novels out there already. Please, please, please!
… are you an M? jkjk i getchu!
They’re so cute together~♡ Holding hands! So cute!
I think you should stick to it but make sure to take care of yourself (mentally and physically)!! But if it’s too much, then you should probably go with a fluffier one.
Thanks for the chapter~♡
ooh maybe chicken feathers and someone else is going to unlock the door! or maybe it will open by the power of True Love,,, i think you should stick with what your heart clamors to share with the rest of us. even if it makes us cry, just like it made you cry. if you happen to find something lighthearted that you like even more than the sad one, then of course i’ll support you.
chicken feathers I- HAHAHAit’s hard to find a lighthearted one that doesn’t have a silly/naive MC sigh
Stick to whichever type of story you like to TL more~ Be it drama or light hearted romance it’s always nice to have more options as long as the person translating is enjoying it.
Thanks a lot for the chapter!
Samael and Suo Fei are so adorable, I want to cuddle them.
Also, about that translation you’re working on — Extreme dog blood stories leave me completely cold and if nothing happens fast enough, it’s hard to keep patience. Light hearted novels… well, they can be really sweet but also really shallow. The main problem would be that the shou is… silly. Very silly.
So, it’s best to read what you feel like.
Like This story! It suits my tastes very much!
exactly! i can’t stand it if the heartache builds up with no way of release. so stifling!the thing about this novel is that it made me feel like a frog in tepid water that was slowly brought to a boil;-;
I suppose is some kind of mechanism, in which everyone has to go through their own passage and light the stone at the same time for it to open? And pleaaaaaaaseeeeee stick to that novel, pleaseeeeeeeee. Is it a QT? If it is, even more so pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaseeeeeeeee
for now, it’s kinda like a compilation of stories (3 side stories + 1 main story). i’m still not sure how the stories are interrelated to one another since only 1 ss has been completed :3 my current guess is that they’re the previous lives of the main!MC and ML.
Sounds interesting! Low key suggestions is the zombie king’s domesticated cat and a longer one is I am updated by selling moe. If you can’t either one it would be Super if any one else would translate. Don’t get me wrong the one you mention does sound interesting these are just cut alternatives…I think the cat one is the same author as the lazy merchant and there is a beast in the palace.
+1
Though I think it’s not necessary for it to be pressed at the same time, we’ll see.
Harris – what a brat lololol
Stick with what you like better. Myself reads both :’D
Thx for the ch (≧▽≦)/
Light hearted novels pls dog blood drama are really too much i want fluff over angst bro
This gives me Barney vibes like will all of them start singing together to open that barrier????
And do please stick to that novel, please!! Dog-blood is the back-bone of my existence, though only if all of those are followed by some face-slappings…
Thanks for the chappie!
You should definitely stick with your first choice! You choose it for a reason… plus I love dog blood novels! 😅
There are a lot of light-hearted novels I’m reading. I’d love some dog blood drama.
Thank you so much for the chapter!(๑´>᎑<)~❤
Definately stick to that
I personally don’t like angsty novels because they just kinda give me anxiety and make me suffer, but there’s a lot of people who like them so if you like it you should give it a try, or you could release a teaser and see how the people react.
Thanks for the chapter ~🌸
Pfffft ahahahah the other shous are pretty cute 😂
That beast kin plotter tho lmao
