Chapter 119 The Two-Faced Saint is a Big Shot (5)
After that, until the training ended and he returned to his bedroom, the God of Light did not speak again. This was so long that he felt that He had already left.
Just as he was getting ready to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.
Shi Qi was puzzled, so he got up and opened the door, wondering who would come to visit him so late. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Fran standing there, looking up at him.
"What's wrong, Fran? Is there something you need so late at night?"
Fran: "Godfather, I'm a little scared to sleep alone. Can I sleep with you?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qi was instantly filled with doubt. Afraid? The original owner had never heard him say he was afraid of sleeping. However, Shi Qi did not refuse him, but simply said, "Okay."
Seeing that Shi Qi had made way for him to enter, Fran happily went inside, muttering, "Thank you, Godfather."
While waiting, Fran got into bed first, then followed suit and snuggled under the covers: "The Godfather's bed is so comfortable."
Shi Qi chuckled: "As the Holy Son, I haven't treated you badly, have I? What, is your bed not to your liking? Should I get you a different one?"
Fran curled up obediently under the covers and spoke obediently: "No need, my bed is very comfortable too. It just feels good to sleep with my godfather. I like sleeping with my godfather."
Shi Qi was still quite receptive to this approach, reaching out to pat Fran's head: "Alright, go to sleep early." Once he was asleep, he could investigate further, thinking as Shi Qi glanced at Fran's shoulder.
Fran: "But...Godfather, I'd like to hear a bedtime story."
Shi Qi fell silent at these words: "..." Before Shi Qi could answer, Fran said with a sorrowful expression, "I've heard that other children have their parents tell them bedtime stories to lull them to sleep when they're little, but I don't even remember what my parents look like..."
Shi Qi couldn't stand Fran's attitude at all: "Okay, I'll tell you..."
As a result, before Fran could fall asleep, Shi Qi had already lulled himself to sleep, and was fast asleep. He didn't even feel Fran reaching out to touch his face, and naturally didn't see the flash of gold in Shi Qi's unreadable eyes.
Fran's favorability +10
Shi Qi never expected to sleep so soundly, and was only woken up the next morning by Fran, who was already up and dressed.
Shi Qi opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Fran's little face. He said, "Godfather, it's time to go pray."
He went over Fran's words in his mind, then suddenly sat up, looking at Fran with a face full of regret, and asked, "What time is it now?"
Fran: "It's almost eight o'clock."
Shi Qi felt quite regretful. How could he have fallen asleep so easily last night? Was he a three-year-old? He even fell asleep while being told a bedtime story? Fran wasn't asleep yet!
007: "Host, there's something I'm not sure if I should say?"
Shi Qi: "Go ahead and talk..."
007: "Fran went out shortly after you fell asleep last night and never came back."
Shi Qi: "I was sleeping so soundly that I didn't even notice he left?" 007 didn't say anything, which clearly meant he agreed with the first part of his statement.
Shi Qi was filled with doubt. He wasn't a heavy sleeper, yet he'd experienced this twice in a row since arriving here, and the second time even after a good afternoon nap. Was that possible? Obviously not. He guessed he might have been influenced by something, but what exactly was it? And why did Fran want to go back in the middle of the night? Didn't he say he was afraid?
Shi Qi thought about it again and again but still couldn't figure it out, so he could only put it aside for the time being and get up to go to the prayer room.
Although the God of Light told him he didn't need to pray anymore, Fran had come to call him, so Shi Qi had to put on an act in front of him.
Shi Qi entered the prayer room, while Fran, who had followed him all the way, waited outside the door: "Godfather, I'll wait here for you to finish praying."
----
Upon entering the prayer room, Shi Qi was momentarily at a loss for what to do, so he simply knelt down in front of the idol, emptying his mind and spacing out, just to pass the time.
Before he could even stand there in a daze for a minute, the voice of the God of Light rang out: "What are you doing now?"
Shi Qi said confidently, "Just spacing out, didn't you say I have no faith? Praying is useless anyway, so I might as well just spacing out."
The God of Light was speechless: "...Then what are you doing here? Are you here to bother me?"
Shi Qi said, "Wasn't it your personally chosen future Pope who sent me? I have to give him face, right? Besides, don't you know that he was the one who woke me up today?"
The God of Light felt somewhat guilty, but there was no hint of guilt in his words: "What makes you think that way? I have no reason to keep an eye on you."
Shi Qi feigned innocence: "What makes you say that? I didn't say you were paying attention to me. I was just thinking that Fran is, after all, the successor you personally chose, and I thought you might be concerned about his condition..."
The God of Light felt his face was being tarnished. As the object of faith for most people, He couldn't tolerate this any longer: "Ister, have I been too good to you all these years, making you think you have the right to talk back to me?"
His words were filled with a dangerous aura, and one could even feel the murderous intent in the air.
Suddenly, Shi Qi felt a pressure on his neck, followed by a feeling of suffocation. He was lifted up by the neck.
Then, the voice of the God of Light rang out again: "Don't forget, I am a god, and you are just an ordinary person whom I bestowed with the power of light. Crushing you is easier for me than crushing an ant..."
Shi Qi's face was already flushed from lack of oxygen. After saying this, he felt the pressure on his neck ease, and then he collapsed weakly to the ground, coughing incessantly and gasping for fresh air.
"Remember this, don't try to talk back to me next time. A moment of anger will only hurt you."
After saying that, there was no more sound; it seemed he left in anger.
007's voice was full of anxiety: "Host, are you alright?"
Shi Qi remained silent, calming his breathing, his eyes dimming slightly. He had initially suspected that the God of Light might be that person, since in the original story, the God of Light didn't appear so frequently and was always associated with the villains. But if it really was that person, they definitely wouldn't want to hurt him like this; perhaps this was another bug in the main system...
