I'm Really Not the Lord of the Abyss - Chapter 29

“Lord Jiada, how should we handle this…this person?”

The believers, full of passion and energy with nowhere to vent, began to frantically look for things to do.

Even if it was just a little bit, they wanted to immediately carry out the will of God!

“God does not like this kind of sacrifice, don’t do it in the future.” Jiada looked at the blond man in the coffin and pondered.

Then, he personally stepped forward to untie the other’s bindings, showing a sincere and kind smile on his face, and carefully dusted off the dust on the other’s clothes.

“I’m really sorry…” At this moment, Jiada’s face was shining with a holy light, as if he was truly like the high priest in the temple listening to people’s prayers, with a righteous face, “We foolishly misinterpreted God’s meaning, and scared you. You are visiting this town for the first time, right? Where would you like to go? We can send someone to take you there, everyone here is very familiar with this area, if you are willing, we can totally act as your guide.”

“…Please forgive our rudeness, we sincerely ask—let us make it up to you!”

Hearing Jiada’s words, the other sect members were stunned for a moment, and then one by one they reacted.

Yes, they now have to fully comply with God’s will, and absolutely cannot do what God dislikes.

Moreover, they had seen with their own eyes how dazzling and lofty God was!

In order to match that brilliance, acting like rats hiding in the gutter as they did before, was simply a disgrace to their God, absolutely not!

They must become better people, in order not to disgrace God’s glory, and to let more people know how great their God is!

Everyone suddenly understood Jiada’s good intentions, and they all took him as a model, holding their heads high, with ashamed expressions.

“Yes, yes, big brother…no, sir, whatever you request, just ask…”

Hosen, surrounded by everyone, had his chest heaving, but did not answer their words.

No matter what, the things that happened in this short period of time were too stimulating.

God? Does such an existence really exist in this world? But…he was indeed saved by their appearance. If it weren’t for this series of unexpected developments, he would have probably been killed by that mad sect leader!

The previous events flashed before his eyes, and then, Hosen’s gaze settled on the believers in front of him.

— Really different now…

At first, it was a bit uncomfortable, these people were trying hard to articulate their words, imagining themselves as those who served in front of the saints.

In an instant, it seemed as if their entire realm had elevated several levels, the lofty sense of mission made them completely forget everything else.

Hosen, who had escaped from death, couldn’t help but wonder, could faith really transform a person?

Seemingly seeing his confusion and wavering, Jiada secretly smiled, slowly stepped forward, and said with utmost sincerity—

“I think this is also a fate bestowed by God. I wonder if you are interested in learning about our sect?”

“I assure you that this is a completely reborn, brand new sect! We will judge the sins of the old sect leader, and deeply repent for everyone’s past mistakes!”

“I intend to develop the new sect among the general public, so that they can also gain infinite hope and courage from God’s salvation like us. If you could be the first reference to provide me with suggestions, I would be very grateful.”

“…” Hosen opened his mouth, reason told him that he should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

However, how could he act as if nothing had happened after experiencing all this!

Seeing this, Jiada smiled slightly, waved to the believers behind him, “Everyone, clean up here first, the relics of God’s descent will henceforth be the holy land of the new sect, we must preserve it well for future believers! Also, bring some food, water, and towels, we need to treat our distinguished guest well.”

Just as Jiada found the first safety (real) benefit (test) target for the new sect, Lu Mi and others had already left the underground.

Alonfus left a shadow next to Jiada, which could keep track of the other’s movements in real time and maintain contact.

Thinking of everything that happened in the underground palace, Lu Mi still wanted to sigh—

Good heavens, you all are Oscar-winning actors, which made me, who was standing inside with a poker face, extremely awkward.

He really didn’t expect that Jiada, who was improvising, actually had so much drama. When the other party pounced in front of him, he didn’t even react to what the other party was saying.

Fortunately, Lu Mi knew that his appearance was mainly to leave enough deterrence for everyone.

So he didn’t say a word, he just split the dome directly.

Alonfus commented afterwards—silence is golden at this moment. This move of not saying a word greatly preserved the power and mystery of their existence, and he believed that those humans were now more in awe of them.

Then, Alonfus named and criticized Jiabo, don’t think he didn’t see that the other party was distracted all the time!

Jiabo moved his feathered eyelashes listlessly, completely ignoring this accusation, then, the white-haired demon quietly looked at the figure walking in the front.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Mi noticed the other’s gaze and naturally asked back.

Ignoring Alonfus who was gloomily staring at him on the side, Jiabo rubbed his eyes tiredly and softly said, “Can I sleep at your place today?”

“Hmm?” Lu Mi’s expression didn’t change, his tone was still calm, “Didn’t you sleep well yesterday?”

Jiabo lightly responded, his long silver-white eyelashes drooping, “The mirror world, too noisy.”

Now the mirror world has a dragon, fairies, Zerg army… For the demon who likes quiet, it’s only because it’s Lu Mi’s wish, so he can bear it.

Lu Mi also realized this, showed an apologetic expression, and nodded, “I will think of a solution as soon as possible, you can come to my bedroom tonight, but there is only one bed…”

“Hmm.” A comfortable and subtle curve appeared at the corner of Jiabo’s lips, “I can sleep on the floor, my head can lean against you.”

Ah…

Lu Mi swallowed what he originally intended to say.

Because he remembered that when he first contracted Jiabo in the abyss, the two of them wandered around the abyss.

Seeing a powerful enemy, they would go up and fight, his physical skills improved the fastest during that time. When they were tired, of course, there was no bed to sleep on, so they just found a bare rock.

Sitting on the desolate ground, leaning against a rock, the two of them shoulder to shoulder, head to head, they fell asleep together like this.

As if in the world of the apocalypse, only they were nestled together.

At that time, the white-haired demon almost didn’t understand anything, he was born in the mirror world and almost never left the space that only he himself existed in.

After being pulled out by Lu Mi, he had been following him. For the first period of time, Lu Mi felt like he was carrying a delicate sculpture, the ice and snow-made white-haired demon had almost no expression.

Later, as Jiabo spent more time with Lu Mi, his expressions gradually increased, and he also began to express emotions to others—but most of them were still Lu Mi, it was very difficult for others to see anything other than laziness and expressionlessness on the demon’s face.

…….

Until this night.

The stars hung in the night sky, twinkling with quiet light.

Lu Mi confirmed that everything was going well on Jiada’s side, and then arranged the subsequent distribution of the Zerg army.

A part of the Zerg army was sent back to the Abyss Western Area, after all, the Zerg Queen Mother was dead, some of the Zerg swarms that had been defeated before in the Western Area seemed to have some ideas, and some were ready to make trouble.

They needed to suppress these restless people, and by the way, let the Western Area know that they had welcomed a new master.

This matter should have been best handled by Jizhou, after the death of the Zerg Queen Mother, there were currently no Zerg in the Western Area that could be his opponent.

However, the Zerg army stated that it was better for their big brother to stay by the master’s side!

The four-winged Zerg, who had been promoted to the second-in-command, encouraged Jizhou with a hint when he left, “Big brother, remember to perform well in front of the King—the demons came earlier, our Zerg’s future position in the King’s heart, all depends on your performance, big brother!”

Jizhou nodded solemnly, “I will.”

As long as the silver-eyed youth needed it, through fire and water, he would fight for him on the front line.

The four-winged Zerg nodded with satisfaction, stepped on the road to the crack in the mirror world, and after walking far away, he didn’t forget to shout back, “Remember to be a little cuter—!”

Cute?

A faint confusion appeared in Jizhou’s serious eyes, what does his fighting and killing for the King have to do with being cute? It won’t make him stronger?

Then, Jizhou retracted his gaze, under the watchful eyes of the remaining Zergs pounding their chests and stomping their feet, he bowed his head to Lu Mi and asked for instructions, “Then, I will retire first, you can call me anytime if you need anything.”

He was like the most loyal knight, guarding by the side of the throne.

By the time Jizhou left the bedroom, there was finally only one silver-eyed youth left in the not-so-large room.

—It’s time to rest.

Lu Mi, who had finished washing up, spread out the bedding, suddenly turned his head and called out to the only full-length mirror in the room, “Jiabo?”

The mirror rippled, and the white-haired demon with a red dragon on his head walked out from inside.

Upon seeing this, Lu Mi laughed knowingly, “What’s wrong with Kier?”

The red dragon seemed to be tired from playing, let go of the white hair it was grabbing with its claws, fluttered its wings, and flew into Lu Mi’s hand. It sniffed the familiar scent around the youth, closed its sleepy eyes, and fell asleep peacefully.

Jiabo’s white hair was slightly messy, and his breath was a bit unstable, “I didn’t originally want to bring it.”

His tone was unusually calm, but for some reason, Lu Mi heard a hint of grievance from it.

The silver-eyed youth couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, he put the red dragon into the prepared bed.

Then, he took out another prepared mat and spread it on the floor next to the bed.

Lu Mi was the first to sit on the mat, leaning against the foot of the bed, and patted the spot next to him, “Come.”

Jiabo seemed to be stunned for a moment, he walked over subconsciously and obediently sat down. It seemed that only after he was close to the youth, from the human’s living body, through the fabric, did he feel the warm touch, as if he was suddenly awakened.

“What is this?”

“Ah, I just suddenly missed it, so let’s sleep like this tonight, just like we used to.” After saying that, Lu Mi looked at the mini red dragon that had occupied the center of the bed, a faint smile appeared in his eyes, “Besides, I don’t want Kier to suddenly grow big in the middle of the night and be suffocated by the pressure.”

“…Hmm.” Jiabo responded softly. Although he didn’t say anything, Lu Mi could clearly feel that the other’s mood had improved.

“Will it be a bit crowded?” Lu Mi moved a bit, he only had one spare blanket, although the demon was not afraid of the cold at all, sleep should have a sense of ceremony, and must be covered by a quilt.

“No, it’s very close to you here.” Jiabo suddenly turned his head to look at him, “Can I lean on you?”

“Come on.” Lu Mi lifted his shoulder a bit.

So Jiabo’s eyes trembled, and he gently leaned his head on the youth’s shoulder.

Ah…

An unknown sigh echoed in the demon’s heart.

He originally thought it would be a sleepless night, but for some reason, wrapped in the familiar scent of the silver-eyed youth, his heart became light and fluffy, like stepping on a cloud, on cotton candy—soft beyond belief.

As if a gentle poke would suddenly bring tears.

“…”

The long breath sound came from his ear, Lu Mi slightly turned his head, and found that the demon had already fallen asleep peacefully.

Under the warm yellow light, the demon looked like a sleeping crystal, incredibly beautiful.

“…Goodnight, Jiabo.” The soft words, with the sudden extinguishing of the light, dissipated in the night wind.

The demon in his sleep gently grabbed the corner of the person’s clothes next to him, like a ghost finally returning home, tightly grasping his entire world.

Perhaps, the meaning of the youth to him was just that important.

The youth once led him out of the closed world where only he existed, and after that, he did indeed see a wider and more vast world.

But that was not as exciting as he imagined, or rather, that was not what he was pursuing.

Even Alonfus’s expectations and ambitions for the youth, he saw it all, but didn’t care at all.

No matter if it’s a land of freedom or a cage of bondage, no matter if the youth was high up or in the dust, whether for the king or for the people—he didn’t care, as long as it’s this person…

He just simply, wants to be by this person’s side.

……

The next day, Gaudi knocked on Lu Mi’s room in a hurry.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Mi opened the door.

“A new undercover agent has arrived—he’s already at the branch’s door!”

Lu Mi’s eyes moved, he glanced at Jiabo and the red dragon in the room who hadn’t woken up yet, and nodded at him, “Take me to see.”

Then, in front of the branch’s door, Lu Mi and the blond man looked at each other.

Hosen’s eyes widened, he looked at the silver-eyed youth’s familiar face in astonishment.

“God…” He stammered for a while, finally squeezing out a sentence, “God has manifested again!??”
