Death… And Me-Novel

Chapter 1410: I must take more care from now on

Of course, Luan didn't understand what Roan meant as he was just too young. Though, he understood that nothing would happen to him, at least. "Th-Then... can I go back?"

Roan looked at him with a confused expression. "You can if you want to. But if that's the case, why did you follow me in the first place? Was it really just because you were curious?"

Luan nodded, saying, "I want to know more about big brother. You saved me for no reason."

"I see..." Roan understood after that. "I saved you because I was bored. In fact, I saved quite a few other people, and you were just one of them. You can go back to where you came if you want."

Rean couldn't help but ask, "Luan, do you have parents to whom you should come back?"

Luan shook his head in response. "My dad left around 4 months ago and didn't come back anymore."

Rean couldn't even feel surprised by that anymore. "Well... that sucks..."

Falangia was the same as Rean. "That's how things work here. His dad is probably gone already. I myself had quite a few encounters where I almost passed away, which would leave my daughter alone as well."

Rean closed his eyes to think a little when Roan intervened. "I hope you're not thinking about bringing this guy together. Do you think we have the time to take care of others while we're already having difficulty taking care of ourselves? If that's the case, then what about all the other kids in this city, or in all other cities we passed by or that we will pass through? Are you going to take them in as well?"

Rean scratched the back of his head, saying, "Alright, alright... but I'm still on my time off, so I'm going to help him and the others in any way I can."

Falangia couldn't help but ask, "You said that you stopped to rest. Don't get me wrong. I'm extremely grateful for the help you gave me. However, can it really be considered rest if you spend your time helping everyone around?"

Rean nodded without thinking twice. "Of course! It makes me feel better, even if the situation itself won't change much. Compared to the constant life and death situation that we have been through, this time in Dry Sky City is really relaxing."

Roan had to admit Rean was right. "Only if you compare it to our normal situation, of course."

Falangia couldn't even imagine it. Just what kind of life were the twins living for them to almost always be in life and death situations? They were two Peak Stage Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators. Their cultivation was as strong as the City Lord. Is there really something that can put them in danger? She had a hard time thinking about something that could be dangerous for these two.

Rean then patted Luan's head before saying, "Alright, you heard Roan. You can go back to where you came from now."

He then made his way outside the house, which caught Falangia's attention. "Where are you going?"

Rean shrugged his shoulders, saying, "Where else? I'm going to pay a visit to that guy called Gaius. He obviously doesn't mind the abuse his subordinates do in the districts around his mansion. Even rapists seem to be welcome. With that being said, I can't possibly let him escape the blame."

Of course, Roan didn't try to stop Rean. There was simply no one in this city that could possibly put the twins in danger. The city lord was most likely an average Elemental Transformation Realm Cultivator, and the twins could even fight geniuses one entire realm above themselves. Let alone at the same realm. A hundred of them probably wouldn't be of any concern to the twins.

"Wait!" Falangia stopped Rean before he left, though.

Rean looked back at her, confused. "What is it?"

Falangia then asked, "You said something about we don't have to worry about the repercussions of what happened here. But if you leave, what will happen to us? The city lord's people will eventually come after us if you just leave like that. Don't get me wrong. I have sustained my daughter on my own until now, and I'm not afraid of being left behind with her again. However, that would be in the case that nothing like this happened. If you hadn't intervened when Gustin came in, at most, we would be forced to have sex with those guys, but we would survive to see another day after they got bored of us. Now, it definitely won't be as simple."

Rean nodded in response. "Oh, that? Don't worry. I was simply going to bring you two to the cities close to the center of the Treavin Continent. I don't know if life there is easier, but it should definitely be more developed than Dry Sky City. It shouldn't be a problem since the only person you care about in this Realm of Gods is your daughter."

Falangia was taken aback. "But... wouldn't it be extremely expensive to have us teleport as well?"

Roan, who was also making his way outside, snorted in response. "Do you think anyone in the Formation Guild will dare charge two Peak Stage Elemental Transformation Realm cultivators?"

Only then did things make sense to Falangia. "So that's why you are so carefree. Other than the extra time, you won't lose anything else."

Roan nodded in response. "That's basically it."

Suddenly, a big black and white Demon Bird appeared in the middle of the street. Obviously, that was Kentucky. "Eh? What is it? I was sleeping, you know?"

Rean patted Kentucky. "You can keep sleeping here. Just make sure to protect Falangia and her daughter, will you?"

Kentucky immediately recognized Falangia. "Oh! The girl who was feeling too hot..."

Falangia's face became bright red once more. 'Do you need to remember me because of that?!'

Kentucky then sniffed her a bit before saying, "You're smelling quite well now, and you look a lot more beautiful. Alright, you can leave this baby for the great Kentucky to take care of. I believe that one is her daughter. Very cute as well. There's absolutely no problem!"

Falangia felt like crying. Didn't that mean she smelled horrible before Roan forcefully gave her a bath? In doubt, Falangia tried to smell the clothes that Roan had ripped off earlier, and her expression went dark. 'Holy shit! I smelled terrible!' She just didn't notice before because she was always like that.. 'Damn, I hate this desert.'
