Chapter 32: The Dark Executor II

  Looking at the man in front of her with impeccable manners, the first thing that came to mind was that he might be able to help her learn etiquette. After all, Sebastian's every move was very standard and elegant in his impression. The system made itself his teacher, so its own etiquette couldn't lose points.

  Lü had a headache, what could he possibly teach him, after all, he never knew he had the potential to be a teacher.

  Lü was lost in thought when he heard a soft laugh, looked up to see Tanas smiling at him with a hint of amusement, and only then realized that he had been daydreaming.

  He rubbed his face with a somewhat embarrassed expression and said as politely as possible, "Just call me Lv."

  Tanas smiled slightly, "Are you blaming me for not saying out my full name? It's just that it's too long."

  It took him a while to realize that he had probably misunderstood something, and just as he was about to speak up to explain himself, Tanas spoke again.

  "Tanás móri leiná válltei. So, may I have the honor of knowing your name?"

  Lü Zhang stretched his mouth and felt that he had probably dug a hole for himself to jump into. His surname changed in every life, but strangely, his name was always Lü, so he was already used to this name. But you say what his surname should be now...

  Lü could only say casually, "Lü Lin." If he had known earlier, he would have just called him Lin Xiao. It's really a case of self-inflicted suffering.

  Lü didn't notice Tanas's eyes narrowing slightly after hearing the surname. Tanas bowed slightly, smiling and said.

  "How rude of me, keeping you standing at the door all this time. Please come in, I'll instruct my servant to prepare some delicious pastries for you."

  Lü nodded and followed Tanas into the castle.

  The interior of the castle was luxurious, leaving him speechless. The vaulted ceiling above was adorned with a massive crystal chandelier that sparkled dazzlingly, radiating a warm glow. The stone floor beneath his feet seemed to be deliberately made to appear somewhat old-fashioned, yet it did not lose its elegance, as if it had been imbued with the patina of history. The lifelike sculptures on either side, which also exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression, were so exquisite that even he, who had seen countless masterpieces in modern times, couldn't help but praise their craftsmanship. This ancient castle was truly a masterpiece of beauty and grandeur.

  After sitting down in the living room, Tanas lightly clapped his hands, and a ghostly figure suddenly appeared behind him.

  The law enforcement officer gazed at the master and servant in front of him with an unchanging expression. Tanas was a standard Westerner, with three-dimensional features that were not as bold and unrestrained as they seemed, but rather refined and gentle like water, seemingly easy to approach, yet carrying an invisible guard that ordinary people could hardly detect. A pair of sky-blue pupils seemed warm, but hid deep darkness like the night in the depths of his eyes. His half-long golden hair hung down on his shoulders, carrying a medieval noble's quiet elegance. And the servant behind him had rare black-green hair, with a pair of crimson-like eyes that were as sharp as unsheathed swords, making people secretly frightened.

  These two people are probably not good companions, so why do they want to stay here as guests?

  Tanarus smiled, seemingly oblivious to the scrutiny of the law, with the corners of his mouth always at the same angle, without even a slight fluctuation. "Hega, go get some snacks from the kitchen."

  He raised his head slightly and vanished into thin air just like when he came.

  Tanas stood up and nodded politely, "Sorry, I have something to take care of. Excuse me for now, if you want to rest, you can ask Hega to bring you to your room. Well, excuse me."

  Lü nodded, and didn't let out a breath of relief until Tanas's figure disappeared from the doorway. He didn't know what was going on, but despite Tanas not showing any bad intentions, he felt inexplicably tense.

  Feeling the little head in her arms move, Lu held out the small crow and placed it on her leg, remembering the healing technique the system had given her after completing the last task, she asked Xiao Nuo how to use it.

  After knowing the basic usage, Lü and Xiao Wu Ya stared at each other with wide eyes, then couldn't help but burst out laughing. Xiao Wu Ya's round and shiny eyes are really cute!

  He gently stroked the little crow's head and whispered, "Be good, don't move, I want to help you treat your injury, it shouldn't hurt."

  The little crow blinked its eyes and let out a cry. Lu didn't know if it had understood, but still gave it an encouraging smile.

  She placed her hand over the wound, and a soft glow emanated from her palm. The little crow's injuries began to heal at a visible rate, and in less than a minute, they had completely disappeared.

  The little crow twisted its small head and looked at its own wings, then shouted a few more times.

  He smiled and stroked its soft feathers with a good mood, while the little crow nestled in his palm and rubbed against him.

  The warm atmosphere was suddenly destroyed by the appearance of a person, Heika expressionlessly held a plate of exquisite pastries and gently placed it on the table, slightly bowing. "Please help yourself."

  Ritsu hastily called out to Hega, who was about to turn around and leave. "Hey, sorry about this, but I think I'll go rest in my room first. Can you take me there?"

  Heiga turned around and nodded. "Please follow me."

  Following closely behind He Ga, Lu completely forgot the route they took to get there. He looked at He Ga's calm and composed back with a mix of frustration and helplessness. To be fair, He Ga wasn't walking fast, and each step seemed carefully measured, as if every step was exactly the same size, but...

  He's a half-witted fool, this room is so far away, I reckon if no one comes to pick him up by dinner time, he'll starve to death in the castle... Depressed and distracted, Ritsu didn't notice when Hega stopped in front of him, and completely out of it, Ritsu proudly bumped into him.

  "Ah!" Covering his nose, which was aching from the impact, Lü found something while feeling depressed - Hega's body was icy cold without any temperature.

  He didn't have time to think about what species Hega was, because when he looked up, the expression on Hega's face, which had always been paralyzed, suddenly made Lv explode in fright.

  You, you, you! You're speechless, that's fine. But what's with the nakedly contemptuous gaze?!

  The look of grief and indignation on his face was so comical that a hint of a smile flashed across Hega's eyes.

  But when he looked over, it was still that annoying paralyzed face.

  He Qia turned his face away and stopped paying attention to him, only pushing open a room door. "It's just here. So."

  Worried that Hega would suddenly disappear again without a word, Lu didn't dwell on what had just happened and instead hurriedly asked. "That, can you come pick me up during dinner time? I forgot how to get back..." Lu suppressed the urge to let out a long sigh in front of Hega, feeling utterly humiliated...

  He Jia's face rarely showed a hint of surprise, and he quickly covered it up with a light cough, nodding solemnly.

  "Alright. I'll come tonight to guide you. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first." With the lawyer's nod, He Ga quickly disappeared.

  It's the first time I've felt so relieved and happy about a breakup.

  After entering the room and closing the door, he was no longer surprised by the luxurious decorations. But the little black bird in his hands suddenly flew away from him, and then transformed into a black-haired red-eyed young man under his astonished gaze.

  The young man's eye color was different from Hega's too striking bright red, but a dark red, yet with the same enchanting charm. The face that had not fully opened up could already be seen as handsome in the future, and the cold-looking face was staring at himself steadily.

  The dark red pupils hid an inexplicable darkness, yet surrounded by a seemingly contradictory gentleness. It was precisely the warmth in that darkness that gave the young man a fatal attraction.

  The young man's beautiful lips parted slightly, his low and pleasant voice couldn't stop Lü from stiffening for a moment.

  "You saved me, I can grant you one wish."

  "My name is Sebastian Mikalis."

  The system is going to be the death of me.

  By the way, I'd like to explain that Sabus is actually Xial's name, but some readers may not know his original name and might get confused while reading. So, I directly used the name Sabus instead. Please don't mind this issue, guys~ (Absolutely not admitting that some thousand is being lazy)
