"I have been waiting here for you for seven days," Lunar God said calmly, her voice like orchids in an empty valley.
"Uh… I must be hallucinating."
Wen Wen took a step back, closed the restroom door, and then opened it again.
Lunar God was still standing there, her eyes like clear springs looking at him.
Awkward, very awkward, extremely awkward.
To be honest, he had a special feeling for Lunar God.
However, he also knew that this feeling was not related to himself at all, but was purely an instinctive reaction to the power he had inherited. Therefore, he had always kept his distance from matters related to Lunar God.
But making someone wait at the restroom door for seven days, this feeling… was truly indescribable.
"To be able to stay in such a small restroom for so long, is it your kidneys that are bad, Uncle?" Iyeta, whose skin was slightly tanned, hid behind Lunar God and mercilessly taunted Wen Wen.
Wen Wen's lips twitched. "What does kidney health have to do with superhumans?"
Afterwards, Wen Wen ignored Iyeta and respectfully said to Lunar God, "May I ask if you have something important to see me about? As long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse."
Lunar God herself was a cataclysmic level big shot from the Inner World. Looking at her relationship with the man in black, she might even be a more powerful deity than Cicada Ancestor. Moreover, Lunar God had helped Wen Wen once before, so Wen Wen had to be polite to her out of reason and emotion.
Of course, "will not refuse" was just a polite remark.
If Lunar God asked him to do something extremely dangerous, Wen Wen would definitely procrastinate.
Lunar God looked into Wen Wen's eyes and asked, "Where is he."
"Uh, well, he's already dead."
Wen Wen knew very well who Lunar God was asking about. However, the man in black had instructed him to tell Lunar God that he was dead.
"You are lying. I saw him that day." Lunar God exposed Wen Wen's lie.
Wen Wen coughed twice, not knowing what to say.
He didn't understand the situation very well. Based on the available information, perhaps the man in black had ruthlessly abandoned the devoted Lunar God from the Inner World, and then Lunar God had crossed worlds to find him.
So, in Wen Wen's opinion, this was like being force-fed dog food.
If he wasn't unable to afford to offend either of these two powerful figures, he wouldn't have wanted to be stuck in the middle, acting as a third wheel.
At this moment, Wen Wen regretted why he insisted on being unconventional and becoming a detective specializing in murder cases.
Why didn't he learn from his peers and occasionally handle cases like catching mistresses, adulterous wives, or incestuous relatives?
At least then, he would have some experience in handling such domestic matters.
How could he, a virgin, navigate the complexities between these two infatuated individuals?
Just then, a sigh was heard, and a black figure appeared behind Wen Wen. Wen Wen and Iyeta were completely unaware, and only Lunar God could see the man standing behind Wen Wen.
"You are finally willing to see me. I miss you… But, who are you?"
The man in black took off his hood, revealing a face somewhat similar to Wen Wen's, but his eyes were slightly larger, and there was a black circular mark on his brow.
The mark was like a black hole that devoured everything, or like a burning black sun.
"I shouldn't have met you, but since you found this place, I can't just keep avoiding you…"
In fact, when the man in black sensed Lunar God's clone descending into this world, he had wanted to talk to her, but he had been restraining himself for her safety.
"But I won't tell you my name, and don't try to remember it. It will be a good thing for both you and me."
Lunar God was stunned. She reached out to touch the man in black's face, but retracted her hand halfway.
"Then… can I talk to you?"
Her tone was hesitant yet expectant, emotions that had never appeared in her heart before.
The man in black remained silent for two seconds. "Yes, let's talk…"
After he agreed, Lunar God said to Wen Wen and Iyeta, "You two go out first. We have something to discuss."
Before Wen Wen and Iyeta could react, they found themselves in the corridor, and the previous room was sealed by some power, preventing them from investigating its contents.
Iyeta had heard Lunar God's words, but she hadn't seen who Lunar God was talking to.
"Hey, Uncle, who exactly is that 'him'?" Iyeta poked Wen Wen's arm.
Wen Wen rolled his eyes. "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? I want to know more than you. Also, stop calling me Uncle. You're old enough to be my grandmother."
"Don't be so stingy. Tell me a little, will you? I'll trade you with information about Princess Lunar God. She wears…" Iyeta patted Wen Wen's shoulder, acting like a female driver.
Wen Wen pushed Iyeta's hand away with disdain. "You coal-mining, steel-plated, sharp-tongued woman, don't try to get close to me."
Iyeta snorted coldly. "Do you think I want to get close to you? People will think I'm crazy if they see me talking to a pig."
Wen Wen took out a rocking chair and sat on it, rocking back and forth, asking in a 평淡 tone, "With such a poisonous mouth, your ex-boyfriend must have had uremia, right?"
"You, you… Wahahaha, you infuriate me, I'm going to curse you to death today!"
Iyeta's expression turned ferocious, and she began to unleash a torrent of abuse at Wen Wen, without using any vulgar words, and her vocabulary was never repeated.
Wen Wen, not to be outdone, launched his verbal assault, with all sorts of unspeakable words emerging one after another.
The more they argued, the angrier they became, almost like street ruffians clawing at each other's faces.
If it weren't for Lunar God's presence, Wen Wen and Iyeta would have been mortal enemies, so the two of them erupted into conflict without any instigation.
However, since the two were discussing matters next door, they couldn't really fight. So, after about ten minutes, both of them were tired of arguing.
Wen Wen took out a basin of oddly flavored carrots and poured two large glasses of beer from a hundred-flavor cup, casually chatting with Iyeta. They were getting acquainted through their arguments, so to speak.
The conversation between Lunar God and the man in black next door was also coming to an end.
"Can I come to see you again?" Lunar God looked at the man in black expectantly.
The man in black sighed. "Until he can stand on his own, I can come out like today. You can come and find me… but, don't be too frequent."
Lunar God asked with a hint of jealousy, "That human looks a bit like you. Is he your descendant?"
"I have no blood relations…" the man in black quickly explained.
"Then, is he your successor?"
Lunar God pressed on, as she could infer the man in black's state from Wen Wen's condition.
The man in black shook his head. "What he is, is a bit complicated to say. He is me, yet he is not me. He can be considered my successor, yet he is very different…"
"If I have to say, fate arranged for him to appear before me. He is my only hope, and the only release I can possibly obtain."
"Release…"
Lunar God was taken aback. She wanted to ask more, but was stopped by the man in black.
"Time is almost up. You should leave now…"
