Chapter 826: Chapter 819: Lovers Not Yet Full

"I always feel so embarrassed..." Luo’er scratched his head and after a slight cough, shyly lowered his head.

"Luo’er," Fulajie’er floated in front of Luo’er, looked down at him from above, and asked earnestly, "Will you stay here forever?"

"Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" Luo’er asked after a brief pause.

"Well," Fulajie’er hesitated, then said somewhat awkwardly, "You are originally from another world. If one day all of you return, then I will be left all alone in this world. There’s no magic in your world, so it would be pointless for me to go there..."

"But you have your sister, why do you say you’d be all alone?" Luo’er looked up at her and asked.

"Well... about my sister," Fulajie’er spun around on the spot and then pouted, "she’s going to get married one day and won’t always stay by my side."

"I think your sister wouldn’t marry so easily. After all, in her heart, apart from studying, there’s only you," Luo’er said, looking down and continuing to write as he spoke.

"But I hope she gets married. I don’t want her to be alone, growing old just for my sake. Before I’m fully resurrected, I’ll almost never die, but it’s different for my sister. A hundred years later, I’ll truly be all alone," Fulajie’er said with a sad expression.

"By then you’ll still have us, don’t be so pessimistic," Luo’er comforted her.

"You’re from Earth, you can’t stay in this world forever," Fulajie’er looked at Luo’er, her eyes revealing a touch of desolation, "My sister said that your world is wonderful and exciting, like heaven, so you wouldn’t stay here for long. I’d really like to see your world, but I can’t go there. Once all of you leave, I’ll truly become lonely."

"Don’t worry, I won’t go back to Earth. I’ll continue to stay here and change this world," Luo’er said, taking a deep breath and then looking at Fulajie’er affectionately, "Right now, I’m constantly seeking ways to advance. When the day comes that I enter the higher echelons of the headquarters, I will spare no effort to resurrect you, if, if..."

He paused, and continued, "If there’s really no other way, then I’ll transform this world into one like Earth, and let you experience what you think of as heaven."

"Really?" Upon hearing Luo’er’s promise, the gloom on Fulajie’er’s face vanished, she flew in front of Luo’er and looked at him full of hope, asking.

"Of course it’s true, I keep my word," Luo’er affirmed with a solemn nod.

"Actually, it doesn’t matter to me whether I’m resurrected or not. As long as I can always be with you, I feel very content," Fulajie’er said with a smile, her eyes forming beautiful crescents. Her body made of magic emanated a charming halo, creating an atmosphere so intimate that it was intoxicating.

"Luo’er," Fulajie’er called out softly to Luo’er, who was lost in a daze.

"Hmm, eh!" Luo’er was stunned for a long while before he snapped back to reality.

"You’re a half-elf, right? Even though you’re just a half-elf, you can live for hundreds of years. So, can you promise me that if I really can’t be resurrected, you’ll spend these centuries with me? I’m really not asking for much, just that you wear the pendant all the time. You don’t have to pay attention to me for days, and you don’t have to talk to me for weeks. It’s enough for me just to be by your side, is that okay?" Fulajie’er asked with pursed lips, her voice uncertain.

Luo’er stared at her blankly for a long time before slowly coming back to his senses and asked shyly, lowering his head, "Would you, would you really be willing to always be like this?"

"I would," Fulajie’er answered without hesitation, "I don’t care who you’re with or who you become a husband to. I’m just a ghost, just a spirit. What I need is companionship, just companionship... This has nothing to do with love, but is, just a bond..."

After hearing her words, Luo’er seemed flustered. He shakily placed his pen on the table, then clasped his hands tightly together, breathing deeply with his head down, feeling a bit woozy.

"You, you don’t have to answer me right now, you can think it over for a few days, I can wait..." Seeing Luo’er’s flustered look, Fulajie’er also seemed influenced by it, twisting and wringing her hands behind her back in mid-air, and said shyly with her head lowered.

"No, I promise you," Luo’er inhaled deeply, then answered earnestly.

"Really?" Fulajie’er was startled for a moment and then asked, overjoyed.

"Yes, if it’s just companionship, I think I can give that. But I’m sorry... I might not be able to love you..." Luo’er said with his head down, his voice deep.

"It’s, it’s okay, companionship is enough," Fulajie’er turned away, revealing a bitter smile.

"Sorry..." Luo’er said softly.

"No, I’m the one who should be apologizing..." Fulajie’er said with her back to Luo’er.

The atmosphere then froze, devoid of the harmony that had just been there, and both of them awkwardly dared not face each other, remaining in a stalemate.

Just then, footsteps approached from outside the door, and Hu Daoke barged in, pausing briefly at the sight of Luo’er and the now-visible Fulajie’er before saying cautiously, "Well, Boss, it’s time for dinner."

"Alright, I’ll come by in a bit," Luo’er nodded, intending to stand up.

"No, no, no, I’ll bring it to you. It looks like you’re pretty busy," Hu Daoke waved his hands and then stepped backwards out of the room, gently closing the door behind him.

Although he didn’t know what had happened inside, he could clearly feel the awkwardness, so he tactfully made his exit.

"Er, well..." Interrupted by Hu Daoke, the awkwardness between them had dissipated quite a bit, Luo’er coughed slightly and then began, "Just so you know, if the mission requires it, your pendant might still need to be worn by someone else."

"Mhm," Fulajie’er nodded understandingly and said, "I know, and I won’t say anything if it’s for a mission, but when there is no mission, you absolutely must not give me to someone else."

"What if your sister comes asking for it?" Luo’er suddenly remembered this and couldn’t resist asking.

"Ah, if it’s Sister, she would need my permission first," Fulajie’er said after a moment’s hesitation.

"That doesn’t seem right," Luo’er stated seriously, "after all, she’s your sister. If she wants to be with you, and you insist on sticking with me, she would be so heartbroken."

"Mm... alright then, Sister can be an exception," Fulajie’er decided after some thought.

There was a pause, but Fulajie’er couldn’t help pouting, muttering, "Actually, someone clearly likes her. I don’t know why she always seems indifferent."

"Really, someone likes her? Who?" Luo’er asked in surprise, as if compelled.

"That black-haired Shani guy, what’s his name, something, Li..." Fulajie’er frowned as she spoke.

"Li Si?" Luo’er ventured.

"Oh, that’s right, him. Whenever I’m with sister, he comes by to check on her whether or not he has other things to do, but he’s so clueless, I’ve never understood what he’s up to," Fulajie’er explained.

"That guy..." Luo’er shook his head in slight exasperation.

"He’s younger than Sister, isn’t he?" Fulajie’er asked thoughtfully.

"Hmm, he might even be younger than you," Luo’er confirmed with a nod.

"Is that appropriate?" Fulajie’er questioned with furrowed brows.

"What’s inappropriate about it? Age isn’t a barrier to love," Luo’er shrugged.

"But it seems like Sister has never been interested in him," Fulajie’er said, puzzled.

"Didn’t I say before? Your sister’s head is full of knowledge and you; there’s no room for him," Luo’er shook his head.

"Poor guy..." Fulajie’er couldn’t help but say with genuine sympathy.
