Cloud Thinking

Although Helia was very curious, she was a person who valued her life. She would only seek death within her ability and would not easily commit suicide.

The sea area that both demigods were so afraid of was not something she could explore or set foot on now.

Well...if you get tired of living and want to die, you can go and have a look...

"How do I replace this eyeball? Can I just dig it out and put it back in?"

She rubbed her hands, seeming to be ready to do something.

Although Casper couldn't see, he could hear Helia's joking tone, which was like playing house. If you didn't know better, you would think she was treating him as a doll. He immediately couldn't hold back his aloof riddle persona and shook his head like a rattle: "No no no no no!"

"Let me do it, sister, you are clumsy." Euros was amused and squinted at Helia. As expected, she glared at him, and then he immediately changed his words: "I don't want you to dirty your hands. You are the most skillful."

"My sister used to mend my torn clothes with needle and thread, and she would also knit all kinds of fun things for me. No one knows better than me how skillful my sister is."

“He” walked towards Casper as he spoke, but his face, which was smiling at Helia just a second ago, suddenly turned cold when he looked at Casper.

He not-so-gently ripped off the cloth wrapped around Casper's eyes, frowned in disgust, and threw it aside.

Euros held the bottle containing the divine pupil in one hand and placed the other hand on Casper's tightly closed eyelids that were difficult to open. The warmth of his palm seemed to trigger something in his numb eyes and they began to ache slightly.

He recited some spell, and the divine pupils in the bottle turned into two golden spots of light. They followed the channel built by his arms and went into Casper's eye sockets.

He felt warmth at first, but soon the warmth became hotter and hotter, and in the end it seemed to burn his entire body, melting his bones and blood, and he could no longer feel the existence of his own body. All that was left was the omnipresent and extreme pain that could not be expressed in words.

Seeing Casper twitching and falling to the ground, looking like he was about to die, Helia looked at Euros with some concern and asked, "Is he going to die?"

Euros lowered his eyes and stared at the embarrassed Casper, without any emotion in his eyes. But when he heard Helia's voice, he immediately looked over with a smile and explained, "Sister, that is a divine pupil after all. Even though this guy has been favored and watched by the gods many times, it is not something he can easily bear now."

"If you can make it through, you will be reborn. If you can't make it through... then you will die."

Helia began to regret making the suggestion of changing the eyes.

At first she thought that Casper should be similar to her, a vessel of God, a darling of God. Moreover, Casper was the young master of the Tanasha family and a ninth-rank great magician, much stronger than her.

If she can withstand the power of the gods, there's no reason why he can't, right?

But she obviously forgot that the reason she has been able to survive until now is all thanks to the protection of her old father. In the current situation, Casper can only rely on herself.

"We can't really let him die." Helia said as she squatted down, grabbed Casper's wrist, and slowly injected magic power into his body to help him fight against the remaining divinity in his divine pupil.

Sinking in a pool of boiling lava, Casper felt his body melting bit by bit, and along with the boiling magma, it dispersed in different directions. His consciousness also became blurred and distorted bit by bit as his body disintegrated.

Who am I… Where am I… Is this hell… Am I dead…

Just when he was about to merge with the lava and his consciousness completely dissipated, a hand suddenly grabbed him from sinking, pulled him out of the sea of ​​magma, and brought him back to consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already bright outside. He couldn't tell how much time had passed just by the color of the sky.

He lay on the bed, his blurred vision slowly focusing among the layers of shadows, and finally he could clearly see the unfamiliar ceiling.

Can I see it?

Casper's eyes widened in shock, then blinked rapidly. After confirming that the scene in front of him had not changed, he wanted to pinch himself to see if he was hallucinating.

But as soon as he raised his hand, he felt resistance, and when he turned his head, he saw Helia sleeping on the bed holding his wrist.

The other person seemed to be exhausted and was sleeping soundly. His action just now did not wake her up. Her steady and powerful breathing echoed in the room, intertwining with his slightly rapid breathing, which inexplicably gave him a strange feeling.

He tried to pull his hand away from Helia, but he had forgotten how strong Helia was, and he couldn't pry open those five fingers that were like iron handcuffs.

But he didn't dare to make any big movements, for fear of waking up Helia. He didn't know how to face her for the time being.

He felt a surge of magic in his body that did not belong to him. Obviously, it belonged to Helia.

During her coma, she probably kept transmitting magic power to herself, and finally she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Thinking of this, he raised his other hand and touched his eyes. He still remembered what Helia had said to the two men at that time. The eyes in his eye sockets now once belonged to a god.

In other words, I now have a pair of divine eyes?

Is this reasonable?

Judging by the results, he had obtained a pair of divine eyes that were unique in the world, which was definitely a big win.

Moreover, Helia did not seem to have any intention of killing him, and she had even been trying to protect him. His life was not threatened, only his personal freedom was restricted.

This small price in exchange for a pair of divine eyes is worth it.

Moreover, Helia could have been a bad person, but she didn't. Instead, she always treated them well and did a lot for him. He should have been grateful.

However, Casper never forgot that the reason he was blind was all because of Helia.

Even though Helia promised to replace his eyes and even took out a pair of divine pupils, those divine pupils almost killed him!

Helia didn't consider his feelings at all! She just manipulated him according to her own will!

I just felt grateful to her? I felt sorry for her? I thought she was a really nice person? This is crazy!

Isn't this just a slap in the face followed by a sweet reward? The root of all this is Helia. If she hadn't kidnapped him, he wouldn't have to go through all this pain!

Yes... that's it! I am the victim. How can a victim be grateful to the perpetrator? It's so weird!

Before Casper could sort out the complicated and chaotic thoughts in his mind, a knock on the door brought him back to reality. The door slowly opened and a familiar head poked in.

Seeing Casper awake and his golden eyes, the other party was shocked at first, but then he shouted happily: "Sir Casper, your eyes are healed!"

"Shh!" Casper subconsciously raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Aphra to keep her voice down, and then looked at Helia who was still sleeping on the bed.

But after he did this, he realized that it was a bit strange. Why did he care so much about Helia? If she was woken up, she would be woken up. It would be best if she didn't get enough sleep and went out to be killed by someone, so that he could leave smoothly.

But... his subconscious actions were not fake. In his subconscious, he actually wanted to care about Helia???

Aphra ignored Casper who was lost in his thoughts, but walked to the bed, picked up the blanket that had slipped off Helia's shoulders and threw it on the bed, then held Helia's shoulders and shook her.

"Helia, the meal is ready. Shall we go eat first and then rest?"

With such a big commotion, Helia naturally couldn't fall asleep anymore. She forced her eyelids to lift, straightened up dazedly, and raised her hand to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

It took her ten seconds to restart the computer. Thinking of what she was doing before going to bed, she suddenly looked up at Casper who was sitting on the bed and also looking at her, and saw her own figure in the other's golden pupils.

"Hey! You're awake! Can you see?" She stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Casper.

Casper's expression was somewhat complicated, just like his confused thoughts. He didn't know how to face Helia, nor did he know what to say.

One of the rare times in life when you are speechless.

Helia didn't care whether he paid attention to her or not. She supported herself on the edge of the bed and tried to stand up. However, she had maintained the same posture for too long and her legs were numb, so she couldn't stand steadily and was about to fall.

"Ouch, my feet are numb!"

Fortunately, Aphra supported her and said, "I'll support you, take your time."

Seeing Aphra, Helia was obviously in a better mood, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously.

Only then did she smell the aroma of food. She shrugged her nose in an exaggerated manner, "Wow, what is this smell? It smells so good! What dishes are there today?"

"This is a new dish I learned! You must try it!" When she mentioned this, Aphra became visibly excited. She supported Helia and was about to take her out. "Hurry up, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

Casper was in a coma for a whole week. Helia went out to cause trouble at night, and when she came back, she took over to transfer magic power to him to prevent him from being devoured by divinity and mutating into a monster.

When she was not around, it was usually Watersiser who helped keep an eye on Casper, and occasionally Euros or Ianhill would help out when they were free.

Of course, Euros was very reluctant. He was always hostile to other men around Helia and was unwilling to show them any good looks.

Ansel also arrived here four days ago, but he seemed to have other things to do here, so he met Helia briefly and never saw her again.

During this period, Aphra learned how to cook from the maids who took care of them. She unexpectedly had a talent for it and could make decent dishes in just a few days, making her life more enjoyable.

She seemed to have fallen in love with cooking recently and had developed it into a hobby. Every time she cooked a dish, she would invite Helia to taste it.

Helia was always keen on showing support, and she didn't worry about Aphra poisoning her or anything like that. She would eat whatever the other party gave her, and every time after eating she would give the other party high praise. Her little mouth was as sweet as honey, and she would praise Aphra until she blushed every time.

Watching the two people walking out sticking together, Casper, who was completely ignored, suddenly wanted to shout out loud: I'm still here, why don't you call me to eat!

But his rationality suppressed this thought. He could only watch the two people leaving, lifted the quilt, slowly got up and got out of bed.

Because he had been lying down for too long and the long-term pain made him a little numb, his legs were a little out of control.

He walked leisurely to the window, pulled open the curtains, pushed open the window and looked out. The colorful world came into view.

He also saw the pair of golden eyes that did not belong to him through the reflection in the glass window.

He raised his hand and touched himself from head to toe. Only after confirming that there were no other changes in his body and no other discomfort did he reluctantly feel relieved.

"Puchi——" A suppressed laugh came from behind him. Casper turned around and saw Helia leaning against the door frame, looking at him and laughing, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

Casper just felt confused. Helia laughed for a long time before she spoke: "I came to call you for dinner. I didn't disturb you... um... enjoy your body...?"

As soon as she came over, she saw Casper looking at her through the window, and then she saw him touching her body up and down. She thought he was being narcissistic, so she didn't say anything to disturb him immediately.

But in the end, it got funnier and funnier the more I watched it, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Casper would rather Helia just laughed at him than hear words of concern from her, because it would only make him more conflicted and tangled.

He stared at Helia for a long time without saying a word. Just when Helia thought that he might have some problem again and was about to come forward to see him, she heard him ask:

"Are you a good person or a bad person?"

He asked in a very serious tone, as if he really cared about the answer to this question, but the question he asked made people feel childish.

Helia sighed and nodded in confusion. She wanted to ask him if he was too sleepy, but when she met his eyes that demanded an answer, she closed her mouth again.

After thinking for a while, she replied: "If you insist on asking this, then I can only say that I am neither a good person nor a bad person."

"There is no such thing as absolute good or evil in the world, and there are no absolute good people or bad people. I don't want to be a good person, nor do I want to be a bad person, but that doesn't affect whether I do good or bad things."

"If you are confused just because of what I did to you, then there is no need to be confused. I kidnapped you for a purpose, and curing your eyes is just one part of my goal. I am after the value of you."

"If you really want to repay me, then just stay here honestly and don't cause any trouble for me."

"Yes!" Casper was about to say something when Aphra's voice came from the living room:

"What's wrong with you guys? The food is getting cold! If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after dinner!"

Helia glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to eat.

Casper followed, but his mind was distracted throughout the meal, wondering what Helia wanted from him and what she wanted him to do.

She wanted him to stay here honestly and not cause trouble, which meant that she didn't need his help in the near future. In other words, Helia didn't need to use him to deal with the noble family.

But after realizing this, he felt even more uneasy, because Helia might very well want him to help do something bigger than the Explosive Family.

After all, I still have to find a way to escape...
