Collapse Immortal

Oh no, the child has really grown up now.

After Alicia finished counting, she put the money away properly, then hummed a song as she pushed Fang Ning back to the meeting place. There, Pado also returned with a large package.

Because it was just a game, Padu actually started out working with Alicia, but she felt she could do it alone, so after saying hello to Alicia, she went it alone.

Judging from the results, she seems to have reaped a lot of rewards.

"Sister Ai Li! Brother Fang! Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time."

"I'm sorry, Phyllis. It's been a while since we last met, and I missed you guys so much. So Fang Ning and I chatted about fundraising. How's your situation? Did you make a lot of money?"

"Not a lot, actually. I went to the aristocratic schools in the east and bought them some things that only common people would use, but they really wanted. Then I also got some things from them that they thought were worthless, but they actually sold for quite a bit of money."

"By doing this on both sides, I made a lot of money."

Padu took out a gold coin from his pocket and said excitedly:

"Look, this is a real gold coin! And it's an antique. Even Boss Kevin only has a few of them."

Alicia, who received a large pile of jewels also given by a friend, smiled but said nothing, probably wanting to give Phyllis a surprise after returning to the hotel.

Fang Ning was stunned by the name Kaiwen... no, Kevin.

For some reason, Fang Ning was deeply impressed by Kevin.

It’s not because his fate carries the extremely domineering nature of “the strongest in the world”, and this “strongest in the world” does not include Fang Ning and Ailishia, neither of them will be affected by the fate.

What really impressed Fang Ning was that in that weird future, Kevin made him understand one thing.

No matter how cold something is, the water flowing out of it will be hot.

Perhaps because the experience was too exciting, in that future, for a long time, the fallen Fang Ning was rubbing the iceberg to generate heat, making her repay him with a spring of love.

Because it was too stimulating, Fang Ning would think of Kevin whenever she thought of Kevin, which made it very difficult for her to remain calm.

In order to avoid having any more wild thoughts, Fang Ning immediately took Alicia and Padu on a cruise ship to the other side of the sea, which brought them one step closer to their destination.

Chapter 18 A small episode on the journey

Sailing on the sea is a rather boring thing. After the initial novelty, you will lose interest in this environment where there is nothing but water.

Fortunately, the cruise ship Fang Ning and the others were on was luxurious enough. Although some places were not suitable to visit, there were still many other things to help them pass the time.

For example, various banquets of all sizes and classical music concerts performed by several well-known bands.

Alysia and the others both liked to go, while Padu was more interested in banquets where they could eat and drink for free. As for Fang Ning...

He has never cared much.

Food is not necessary for Fang Ning, and his appreciation of classical music is also limited.

This was mainly because when listening to those people perform, Fang Ning would unconsciously deduce their fate, turning the concert into an appreciation of the various aspects of human life, or deduce the music being performed, directly observing the creator's mental journey.

Therefore, to him, the so-called concert was not as good as the tunes that Alicia hummed in her spare time.

However, just because it doesn't matter doesn't mean that I won't participate. Pado is old enough, and Alysia is not that old either, so at these times, Fang Ning, a 500-year-old adult, naturally needs to be present.

Although he wasn't very interested in food and music, Alysia's dresses were very beautiful, so his trip wasn't in vain.

The only not-so-good thing was that there were often women overflowing with maternal love who would run over to ask him about his well-being in the corner of the party, and their sympathy was almost overflowing from their chests.

Fang Ning had no choice but to explain that using a wheelchair was just a hobby, there was nothing wrong with his body, and he was an adult.

As a result, the women became even more excited after listening to it.

Those with bolder personalities directly started talking about adult topics, and all kinds of hints were almost becoming explicit.

Fang Ning simply made her point clear and decisively declined the invitations to visit their rooms to see the good stuff.

For adults, there are many things that cannot be said openly, which are the so-called unspoken rules.

Therefore, this trick naturally discourages most women who are interested in such an indulgence.

However, it sparked the interest of some other people.

"Boy, you have quite the personality. Do you want to have a drink with your sister?"

The mature voice of a young girl sounded from behind, accompanied by a fragrant breeze with the smell of alcohol. The extremely elastic waveform hit the back of Fang Ning's head, and a few strands of bright red hair teased his cheeks.

Fang Ning was about to speak when Ai Lishiya's lovely voice suddenly came from behind her.

"No, big sister, he doesn't drink."

When did she come here? Wasn’t she just at Pado’s place?

"Ah, it's the pink little sister, let's drink together."

"Oh, that's shocking. You actually invited minors to drink. It seems that you are really drunk, big sister. In that case, go and have a good rest."

"No! I'm not drunk yet, hehe, beautiful boy, my beautiful boy."

She was obviously a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, but at this moment she laughed strangely like a pervert, hugged the boy in the wheelchair tightly with both hands, and stuck her head out, trying to rub that expressionless handsome face.

Fang Ning raised her hand to the girl's face, ignoring the incoherent mumbling coming from her rosy little mouth. She took a closer look and found that it was a familiar face.

Before he taught the Dharma, Himiko was Hua Weilai's benefactor and close friend, but after he taught the Dharma, she became Hua Weilai's colleague and close friend.

Although Fang Ning changed Hua's fate, she would still meet the person she was destined to meet.

The world is not big. For true friendship, no matter how far apart we are, we will always meet again.

After breaking free from Himiko's embrace, Fang Ning turned the wheelchair and looked back. Alicia was carefully supporting the red-haired girl. Her eyes swept across the venue and saw Pado eating and drinking on the other side, unaware of anything.

"Why are you here?"

"Because it's very lively here. There were so many older sisters around just now, so of course I noticed this place."

As Alicia spoke, she helped the drunk woman to the sofa at the side. Her tone was as cheerful as ever, and even contained a hint of gloating.

"How is it? How does it feel to be surrounded by big sisters? Don't lie, I know you're staring at me."

Fang Ning glanced at the girl who was adjusting her dress beside the sofa. When she was helping Himiko just now, many parts of her dress were wrinkled. If she didn't pay attention to it, it would affect the girl's image.

After Alicia finished getting dressed, Fang Ning said as a matter of course:

"Yeah, I just like big ones."

"...You're quite blunt, but I feel like I'm used to it. As expected of you."

"It's just expressing my own preferences, just like some people like to taste delicious food and some people like to appreciate music. I like big ones."

"Okay, okay, I know you like it, but I can't emphasize it so many times."

After saying this, Alicia placed her palm on her chest, which could only be held in one hand, and sighed in a feigned sadness:

"Even someone as beautiful and lovely as me has some minor flaws."

Fang Ning looked at the pink-haired girl carefully and analyzed:

"Considering your apparent age, this size is normal, even large."

"So... do you like it?"

Alicia suddenly came over and grabbed Fang Ning's hand, as if she wanted him to feel her heartbeat.

"Or is it me that you like?"

"..."

Fang Ning did not answer, but stared into Alicia's eyes. After a long while, she looked away and withdrew her hand.

Alicia didn't care, but took another step forward, her calves already kneeling on the wheelchair, her white and round knees exposed from under the dress, close to Fang Ning's dark pants, emitting a crystal-like luster under the lights of the banquet.

In the upper body, the tips of their noses almost touched, as if they could feel each other's warmth. The turquoise eyes and the pink crystal eyes reflected each other, and were reflected in each other, going back and forth, as if there would never be an end.

But the endless corridor also has an end, just as eternity will also come to an end.

Amidst the heartbeat, something came out from inside.

"So, do you like me?"

"…Um."

She answered as a matter of course, knowing that he would agree, because he was a born playboy, his colors were the most brilliant, so he never made a choice, just wanted them all.

But, she is the same, she loves humans from the bottom of her heart, and she also loves him from the bottom of her heart.

So, she will not hide it, just like she never hides her love for humans.

The tips of their noses touched and then moved apart, their lips met, and they used the tips of their tongues to express their love.

However, after they separated, Alicia had an inexplicable look on her face. She smiled and said in a coquettish tone:

"Fang Ning, you're really skilled. There must be some secret, right? Teach me."

"..."

Fang Ning's body froze and he was speechless for a while. Fortunately, Alicia was in a good mood at the time and had anticipated certain things, so she did not pursue the matter. Instead, she dragged him to the concert hall which had not yet been officially opened.

In the empty hall, the band on the stage were tuning their instruments.

"Let me tell you a secret. The band conductors here were actually invited by Eden and I."

The girl went on stage and communicated with the band conductor for a few words, then took the baton from the meticulous-looking man. Everything seemed to have been planned in advance.

A piece of music that had never been heard before began to play, but this time Fang Ning was unable to see the end of the piece because the composer was on the stage waving his baton and giving him an adorable smile.

Therefore, even without the influence of the calculation, Fang Ning still could not fully enjoy this concert that belonged to him alone.

He only knew that the music was expressing Ellie's feelings, and it was so passionate that it even made him blush.

After this, the relationship between Fang Ning and Ailishiya changed. They were no longer guardian and ward.

But for Padu, it was just a meal's time. When she saw the two people again, she inexplicably felt as if she had both parents.

In short, to Padu's confusion, the cruise ship arrived at their destination.

Chapter 19 The Bound God

The swamp is dangerous. Its danger lies not in the open, but in the dark. Every careless step you take may lead you into a quagmire from which you cannot escape.

But for this poisonous swamp filled with miasma, the danger in the dark is no less severe, and it is extremely dangerous even in the open.

Fang stared at the marshland not far ahead, which seemed to be covered by colorful auspicious clouds. He turned around and said to the pink-haired girl:

"Next, you take Padu and break through here. I will wait for you in front."

"From... from here?! Brother Fang, are you planning to kill us?"

Looking at the colorful swamp in front of him, even with his limited knowledge, Pado knew how dangerous it was.

"Oh, don't worry, little Phyllis. I will protect you. Just leave it to me."

Alicia hugged the frightened little girl with a gentle smile on her face, but when she turned to look at Fang Ning, her tone was a little more coquettish.

"My dear, if you're just training me, there's no need to bring Phyllis along; she's so young."

"Right, right, right! I'm only nine years old. It's too early for me to be thinking about this!"

"But, I have planned it..."

Fang Ning was somewhat unwilling. He didn't like his plan being disrupted, so even though he had just confirmed his relationship with Alicia on the boat, he didn't change his plan to let her cross the poisonous swamp.

"Okay, don't be unhappy. How about this? You come in with us. That way, I can rest assured, little Phyllis, and your plan will be completed. It's the best of both worlds. How about it?"

"But I wasn't in the original plan. You were supposed to protect Phyllis through."

"Then add a condition: I'll protect you two. This way, not only won't ruin the plan, but it will also make it more difficult."

"This one……"

Fang Ning thought about it for a moment, felt that there was no problem, and nodded in agreement.

"Then let's go. You must follow me."

"Wait a moment!"

After telling Alicia to stop, Pado immediately jumped onto Fang Ning's knees, pulled up his coat, and shrank into it, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Okay, I'm ready to go."

"Hmm, it feels..."

Alicia suddenly laughed, looking at Fang Ning who looked puzzled, and explained happily:

"It feels like my dear is pregnant. When I think about this, I suddenly feel happy."
