Chapter 464: Honesty and Three Stories
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The divine beasts were apex-level existences among the most powerful martial artists of today’s Federation. In the eyes of ordinary people, these were the people who stood at the top of this world. Other aspects were more of speculation and delusion. Strictly speaking, very few people, even masters and grandmasters of the martial artists, could not describe what the state of the divine beasts was clearly.
As a butler of Qilin, his understanding of the divine beasts was obviously much better compared to average martial artists.
Qin Fen sat on the rosewood chair. Steward Hou said slowly, “Come to think of it, you must also know that Ensemble of Heroes may produce a divine beast.”
Qin Fen nodded and Steward Hou revealed a faint smile, “Actually, this news is not considered a secret. Speaking of it, everyone knew Ensemble of Heroes can produce a divine beast, including those who are currently engaged in life-and-death fights on Venus and Saturn in order to compete for a divine beast. Then, why are they still fighting? This is a foolish act in the eyes of many, but…”
Steward Hou’s finger tapped gently on the desktop next to his arm and asked in a questioning manner, “Do you think they are foolish?”
Qin Fen shook his head gently, “Although they can all become beasts, the value is way different. One competed entirely based on his own ability while the other let others set the stage properly before competing.”
Steward Hou nodded continuously, his expression carrying a hint of delight, “Currently it’s not so easy to produce a divine beast on the two major planets. Everyone is almost the same in terms of strength and no one can overthrow the other. One of the conditions for a divine beast to emerge is to either expel the other contenders out of the planet or to let them fully recognize your strength and choose to surrender. However, as the number of planets decreases, between Elysium and Inferno, who would withdraw from the planet? Where can they go after they quit? There is no choice but to fight to the death…”
Qin Fen had a little more understanding of the divine beast and nodded subconsciously.
“In fact, can the beast contenders of Saturn and Mars claim the t.i.tle of the divine beast before the Ensemble of Heroes?” Steward Hou showed a disapproving look, “The Jade Emperor of Elysium is equally matched as the Ground Treasury of Inferno [1]1. No one can defeat the other party within a short period of time. They are maintaining a kind of compet.i.tion and under the pressure of this compet.i.tion, they forced themselves to transform and breakthrough. However, in the path of martial dao, the closer it is to the peak, the harder it is to progress forward. You should already feel so at this point…”
Qin Fen revealed a bitter smile. He had a clear understanding of the experience of suffering from congenital deficiency down the road of his martial dao path. However, the progress forward in this road of martial dao, which was the biggest limitation for all others, was no longer a problem because of the presence of masters and others.
“Stop competing, prevent depletion and wait for Ensemble of Heroes to be held. This is displaying a lack of self-confidence.” Steward Hou’s every gesture showed a little more interest in judging heroes while cooking wine [2],1 “They will fight continuously even if it is momentarily difficult to decide who will be promoted to be a divine beast. They need to fight relentlessly until the day of Ensemble of Heroes. This period of time is more of a kind of pressure and pain so that they will flare-up during the Ensemble of Heroes.”
“Kiddo, the current version of you can go to Saturn and join Elysium or Inferno. Otherwise, create a force to fight for the divine beast.” Steward Hou got up slowly. With his hands behind his back, the old figure swayed out of the stone house and looked at the sky, “I personally suggest that if you can, it is best that you settle down for a while and break into the sixteen-star before going to Saturn.”
Saturn, divine beast! Qin Fen thought over the two important keywords in Steward Hou’s discourse and fell into contemplation. The matters that took place in less than two years’ time were changing quickly in front of his eyes. He released a series of sighs in his heart.
Encounters in life are sometimes amazing. Who would have thought that the person who was still on the verge of survival two years ago would now have the most basic capital to compete for the divine beast?
“The best is still to build another force.” Steward Hou stood outside the house and turned around to look at Qin Fen in the house, “The group of lads around you is not bad, but their ability is not enough to follow you to Saturn to fight yet unless you want to let them all die.”
There were sounds of quick footsteps carrying worry approaching outside the door. A playful smile creased on Steward Hou’s face, “Well, I will not be an old third-wheeler.”
Qin Fen laughed dryly. The footsteps contained the cheerfulness of a little daughter. It was no other than Song Jia’s footsteps.
Opening his arms, the black robe with big sleeves resembled a black eagle in the sky. Qin Fen marveled at Steward Hou’s Wukong technique. Perhaps it’s time to practice it properly and integrate the Wukong technique into his movement technique.
Song Jia was wearing a pale yellow silk cheongsam and little red shoes on her feet. With a faint blush on her cheeks, she appeared in the sight of Qin Fen.
There was no other person on the top of the mountain. Song Jia found Qin Fen and stopped her footsteps immediately. Her hands and fingers were gently stirred in front of her body. The tweaking demeanor was as though it was a completely different person than that of Lady Song Jia in the status of the young queen.
The tip of Qin Fen toes tapped lightly and he sprung a distance. Currently, Qin Fen was already standing at the true peak of fifteen stars. What seemed like an effortless tapping on the ground was enough to let him fly far away.
In the quiet hilltop, the two faced each other speechlessly. After suppressing the urge for a long time, Qin Fen raised his hand to scratch the back of his head and said, “Long time no see…”
Song Jia’s pretty face showed slight disappointment and her little mouth pouted. Having waited and yearned for so long, she didn’t expect that Qin Fen would utter such words after holding back for a long time.
“You have become more beautiful…”
At the second half of Qin Fen’s sentence, Song Jia’s disgruntled face suddenly seared with blooming rose red and her heart was filled with sweetness, secretly delighted that her boyfriend was not a blockhead. The same honeyed words sounded more convincing than coming out from Lin Liqiang’s greasy and smooth-talking mouth.
Qin Fen’s arms wrapped around Song Jia’s body and closed tightly. In an instant, her body was put into his arms. The seductive body scent suddenly penetrated his nose.
“I miss you.” Qin Fen leaned in and gently whispered in Song Jia’s ear, “I was beaten badly by your grandfather for this time’s marriage proposal. It is the first time I was that miserable since my debut.”
Song Jia clenched her fist and gently thumped Qin Fen’s chest, “I am very satisfied that you came but knowing that he is undefeatable and yet still coming forcefully, it made me worried. This…”
Qin Fen imitated Song Jia’s tone, “I am very dissatisfied…”
“You have s.n.a.t.c.hed my words…” Song Jia looked up at Qin Fen. Not allowing her to finish her protest, she received two strong and powerful lips that sealed her cherry lips completely. This made her fell madly in love. Her fair arms also slowly embraced around the back of Qin Fen.
After a long kiss, lips parted.
Song Jia looked at Qin Fen’s body and asked tenderly, “Did it hurt to be beaten by my grandfather?”
Qin Fen was speechless and smirked, “I fainted so many times and rolled all the way from the top to the foot of the mountain. Even though there was true energy protecting my body, it still hurt terribly.”
Song Jia forced herself into the arms of Qin Fen and glued her cheek against his chest. Her words beamed with joy, “Right now, I am the happiest person in the world.”
After hugging each other for some time, Song Jia moved her head out of Qin Fen’s arms. His expression was a little eccentric and her face blushed even more, “Naughty, what are you thinking?”
Qin Fen’s smile carried some awkwardness. Such a beautiful woman in my arms and she’s my girlfriend. Her s.e.xy body closely attached to the body. It is really normal to have some instinctive body reactions. When people are indulged in love, who will deliberately be distracted and use true energy to suppress some physiological reactions?
According to Lin Liqiang’s ‘knowledge’, if a couple hugged together and the male body had no eccentric physiological reactions, then the woman should be more worried.
“You’re too beautiful.”
“Greasy and smooth-talking mouth, you have learned to be naughty from Qiangster.”
Qin Fen laughed along. At this moment, even Young Master Lin would not object using himself as the opposite type.
Song Jia’s arms s.h.i.+fted movement and entwined around Qin Fen’s neck. Clutching his strong neck, she said, “It was not easy for you to come. I will show you around.”
Song Jia turned around to the right side of Qin Fen’s body and hugged Qin Fen’s arm with her arms. She seemed to have no qualms at all about the towering and elastic double peaks rubbing gently against his arms.
Walking in the mountains, Qin Fen watched and listened to Song Jia describing things that happened lately. He felt undecided and doubtful.
Should I tell her about the matter of Fenghua Danyun? Qin Fen looked at Song Jia who was so happy. Although he knew that he was knocked out by Fenghua Danyun Asura at that time, it was still physical intimacy.
“Brother, don’t blame me for not reminding you that some things can’t be said.”
Qin Fen recalled the message that Lin Liqiang answered, “The relations.h.i.+p between men and women should be honest but real honesty is not to tell her whatever you have done. Some things are not good even if we are just being honest because it will hurt the relations.h.i.+p between the two of you. The so-called honesty is the honesty of the mind.”
“For example, if you really love her then just tell her. If you don’t love her, you should tell the other person honestly as well. Honesty should be in terms of thoughts and mind, not telling the other person whatever you did in the past. ”
“Say it.” A simple word was Enzo Rota’s suggestion.
“Old Qin, don’t listen to Old Enz! If a woman doesn’t love you, it doesn’t matter if you confess to her. However, if she really loves you deeply, like Jia Jia, you are not just destroying the relations.h.i.+p, you are also destroying Jia Jia personally!”
“What are you thinking? You seem so captivated.” Song Jia moved her breathtakingly beautiful face in front of Qin Fen in an instant. Together with her curious expression, even with Qin Fen’s steadiness, he could not help but felt suffocated.
Qin Fen looked at Song Jia’s stunningly beautiful face. Although it would be difficult to lie for a lifetime, it was not impossible, …..
“I will tell you a story.” Song Jia clung to Qin Fen’s arm and took a deep breath as if she’s determined something important, “Before I finish the story, you can’t interrupt.”
Qin Fen nodded lightly. He knew that if this kind of hesitation was too serious, it might even affect his martial dao of Divine Boxing which had the martial dao style of doing whatever one wanted to do. His current hesitation was completely in conflict with the martial dao.
“Once upon a time, there was a girl who was mutually in love with a boy.” Song Jia’s cheeks leaned against Qin Fen’s strong arm, “As time pa.s.sed, they became more and more in love, as though they would miss each other if they didn’t see each other for a second. When people thought that they would be happy together, the girl returned home one night and a bad guy suddenly rushed out from behind. He used an overpowering drug to knock her out and then raped her. After the boy found out about this, he abandoned the girl without hesitation and the reason was that she was no longer pure. Subsequently, the girl committed suicide by jumping off the building. The boy took another woman to be a wife.”
Song Jia glanced up at Qin Fen and blocked his lips with his fingers, “I haven’t finished yet. Listen to the next story. Once upon a time, there was a girl fell in love with a boy that loved her. As time pa.s.sed, they were more and more in love and finally developed to the point where they missed each other when they couldn’t see each other for a second. When people thought they would be happy together, the girl was raped by a bad man on the way home at night. The girl desperately resisted and at last, the bad guy strangled her to death. He fled after raping her dead body. The boy rushed to the scene and burst into tears. He asked why the dead girl did not obey the bad guy temporarily. In the face of such a thing, it is impossible to resist. She should have lived and he wouldn’t mind.”
“The boy who finished crying disappeared from people’s eyes. A few months later, his figure appeared in the court because he committed murder. The person he killed was the bad guy who raped and killed his girlfriend.”
“Don’t talk yet, I will tell you the third story.” Song Jia’s face leaned on the Qing Fen’s shoulder, “Once upon a time, there was a girl fell in love with a boy that loved her. As time pa.s.sed, they were more and more in love. One night, as the girl returned home, she encountered a bad guy. At this moment, the boy appeared and beat the bad guy away. They lived happily ever after. The girl asked the boy afterward, if she was raped, would the boy still love her? The boy said, yes! I will love you even more and I will kill the b.a.s.t.a.r.d who raped you!”
Song Jia paused her footsteps and gently looked up at Qin Fen. In a voice softer than usual, she whispered gently, “What do you think of the way the man handled the situation in the second story?”
“If I were him, I would do the same thing.” Qin Fen frowned slightly. There are two types of most hateful people in the world, the corrupt and the rapist!
People who have the ability to corrupt usually have a good foundation in material life but they are still corrupt. Such people should be killed!
Although prost.i.tutes were not professionalized in the world today, such industry was an undeniable existence. If rapists really have physiological needs, they can go there and both parties can take what they need. These people who rape women and destroy other people’s lives should be killed!
“Then…..” Song Jia held the arm of Qin Fen, “What do you think of the way the man handled the situation in the third story?”
“If I were him, I would be like him.” Qin Fen frowns creased a little more, “If this happened to me today, I would still kill him even if he didn’t touch you. I couldn’t feign ignorance like it’s not my business just because he didn’t touch you. It is due to the system that is too condoning that rapists who ruined a person’s life are only sentenced for a few years. This punishment is too light. If I am an ordinary person and encountered this kind of thing, if he didn’t touch you, I will also draw his portrait and upload it on the net. If he touched you, I will kill him. Before the police catch me, I’ll try my best to kill those who can’t be judged by the courts.”
Song Jia’s arm hugged Qin Fen tighter and her body was completely attached to Qin Fen’s arm, “Although what you said is totally against the law, if everyone has this idea, perhaps there would be no more rapist in the world. ”
“Right, what about the first one?” Song Jia tilted her head up and looked with eyes full of eagerness to know the answer, “What about the man in the first story?”
“Does he really loves that woman? Or is what he loves chast.i.ty?” Qin Fen shook his head gently, “It is already unfortunate to be raped, what is the difference with the rapist if he still abandons her at this time? If he truly loves her, he should be more concerned about her and take care of her at this time. Then find the rapist and kill him.”
“So, you think that the boy doesn’t love the girl who was raped, is that it?” Song Jia blocked the way of Qin Fen and looked at him with a serious expression.
“Yes.” Qin Fen nodded more heavily than before.
Song Jia cracked a smile, “Then that’s it. Being raped is not a choice. If even so, one cannot forgive the lover, then it’s not truly loving the other half.”
Qin Fen stunned for a while and looked at Song Jia, who was back to his side, embracing his arms with hers.
“There are some things that really can’t be controlled by manpower.” Song Jia strolled easily and her hair swayed gently on the neck. She looked at the gra.s.s on the ground and said softly, “However, if some things happened and we just say it bluntly, even though it is being transparent to the other party, it will still hurt the other party’s heart. It is good for both men and women to have a common friend. When one party encounters confusion and seeks to discuss with a common friend, it is very important whether the words are truly sincere or not. After a person’s retelling plus the marriage proposal that caused the person to be beaten awfully…”
“A girl’s heart is very soft.” Song Jia looked up at Qin Fen, “So, be good to the girl you love. Don’t let the girl who loves you shed a tear for you.”
Qin Fen looked at Song Jia in a daze and was stumped for words at that moment. The matter had been troubling him for a long time and had him thinking of every way possible to disclose. Yet, he still didn’t know how to open up. Instead, Song Jia used the method of story-telling, which in turn enlightened him while also stating her stance discreetly.
It turns out that this was the reason why Lin Liqiang always strongly requested me not to say! Qin Fen only thoroughly understood at this moment why Lin Liqiang was so strongly opposed that day. In the end, he even requested that if he had to say it, then say it clearly to the person face-to-face.
All of this was to buy time for Lin Liqiang so that this middleman could execute his elaboration. Perhaps Lin Liqiang had completely emulated the images and dialogues of the three-party meeting on that day. Otherwise, why would Song Jia talk about sincere words in the discussion?
It’s good to have such a friend!
“En, I know.” Qin Fen didn’t know what else to say.
