"I can not go back."

"What do you mean?"

"You can think of me as someone who was transported here and lost my powers. Now I'm just an ordinary person with some skills."

"...Do you think I'm stupid? An ordinary person could have the aura of a True Ancestor? What's your connection to the War King's Domain?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with us."

Nangong Nayue looked at him calmly; it was clear she didn't believe him.

"I'm telling the truth!" Shi Chen raised his hand and swore.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything. If possible, could you take me in?"

"Me? Take you in? Do you really think I'm stupid?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but laugh.

"But you're worried about me here, aren't you?"

"......where u from?"

"Hmm...the great Eastern country?"

"Why are you asking me? Are you from China? Are there True Ancestors in China? Are you trying to fool me? Could it be that you are the Fourth True Ancestor?" Nangong Nayue suddenly asked.

"You know about the Fourth True Ancestor? She has already appeared?" Shi Chen asked hurriedly.

This shouldn't be the case. It doesn't seem to match the timeline he just determined. At Nangong Nayue's current age, shouldn't the Fourth True Ancestor still be asleep?

"Her? You know the Fourth True Ancestor?" Nangong Nayue seized on the key point and asked in return.

"almost."

"What's your relationship with her?"

I don't know them yet.

"..." Nangong Nayue glared at him unhappily. This guy was full of lies.

"Don't be angry. Tell me first, how do you know about the Fourth Ancestor?"

"The Night Elder of Flamelight... Isn't it normal to have heard of him?"

"So, the Fourth True Ancestor really hasn't appeared yet?" Shi Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"What? You mean the Fourth True Ancestor is about to appear?"

"Yes." Shi Chen nodded; there was no point in hiding it.

"..."

Nangong Nayue was stunned for a moment, then immediately questioned in a cold voice, "Then what is your purpose? To help the Fourth True Ancestor be resurrected?"

If the person in front of me might be a True Ancestor and helps revive the Fourth True Ancestor, then that would be troublesome, as her chains of discipline are still ineffective against him.

Shi Chen laughed sheepishly and said, "Helping the Fourth True Ancestor resurrect? No interest. I just want to settle down here."

Chapter 41 Tired of Living Alone

"What exactly do you want to do?" Nangong Nayue asked impatiently.

She didn't want to talk to this person anymore; he was talking nonsense, completely unreliable, and treating her like an idiot.

She might as well just ignore him; there's no real danger anyway. At worst, she could just keep a close eye on him from the shadows.

"Didn't I just say? Can you take me in? I'll do anything, as long as you provide me with a place to stay," Shi Chen said pitifully.

His primary task now is to cling to Nangong Nayue's coattails, and since he knows her quite well, he doesn't need to resort to any underhanded tactics or hide anything from her.

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

“…” Nangong Nayue turned her head away.

To be honest, with such a handsome young man putting on such a pitiful act, she almost agreed on the spot.

Is this guy still a succubus?

It would indeed be unsafe to let him roam freely in this city; it would be terrible if he were to harm an innocent young girl.

But for her to take him in... she's used to being alone.

"Why don't we report you to the higher-ups and let them decide how to deal with you?"

"No, that's too dangerous. What if dangerous people take notice of me? I'll be studied. You don't want me to go berserk out of fear and do something bad, do you?"

“?” Nangong Nayue frowned.

Why does this sentence sound so strange?

This guy is really persistent; she shouldn't have come at all.

"...Do you really want me to take you in?"

"Really!" Shi Chen nodded vigorously.

"No purpose?"

"Does it count because you're cute?"

"...You can do everything?" Nangong Nayue ignored him and continued to ask.

"She can do some housework and also teach."

"Teaching? You're a teacher?"

"almost."

"Do you know how to brew black tea?"

"Absolutely!" Shi Chen replied confidently.

He used to make coffee and black tea, but not everyone who comes to a coffee shop is there to drink coffee.

At this moment, he also remembered that Nangong Nayue liked to drink black tea, which seemed to offer him a chance to prove himself.

"You're very confident."

"be honest."

"What about what you said before?"

"I really am from the East. My name is Shichen. Is there anything wrong with this name?"

"Shichen...you didn't lie to me and just picked a random name?"

"I swear to God! This is my name! I'm a dog if I'm lying!"

"..." Nangong Nayue couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

This oath is completely meaningless. This guy is acting like a child.

"How old are you?"

"About twenty-five?"

"You're only twenty-five? Then what's with the True Ancestor aura on your body?"

"There might be some unexpected ones, but they're not really useful anyway."

"Is it an accident..."

Nangong Nayue believed this. The True Ancestor's ability was mainly based on his familiars, and familiars were aggregates of magic power, but Shichen had no magic power at all.

If this guy weren't immune to his Discipline Chains, she wouldn't have to worry about him at all.

So, this guy really didn't lie to her?

"I can take you in, but we need to agree on a few conditions."

"No problem!" Shi Chen quickly and excitedly agreed.

"...First of all, you have to listen to me from now on."

"Ok!"

"Secondly, you cannot act without my permission."

"no problem!"

"Also, you'll be living with me, but there will be a curfew."

"Live together? That's great!" Shi Chen asked excitedly to confirm.

"You bastard..." Nangong Nayue glared at him: "Be serious!"

"Oh." Shi Chen nodded honestly.

"Are you a pervert? You're actually interested in me?" Nangong Nayue couldn't help but ask.

Even with her lack of romantic experience, she could tell at this moment that Shi Chen seemed genuinely interested in her.

And it's visible to the naked eye.

It seems to be the first time someone of the opposite sex has shown interest in him... It's quite novel.

"How could I be a pervert?" Shichen shook his head and denied it: "Then Yue-chan, didn't you just say that you are twenty-two years old, an adult woman?"

"Don't call me that so affectionately!" Nangong Nayue almost couldn't resist hitting him with her fan.

Why are you still interested in me looking like this?

"So cute, and it's legal."

“You must be a pervert. I really can’t let you run wild in this city.” Nangong Nayue shook her head helplessly.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"One last thing, you have to make me black tea every day."

"Leave it to me, I guarantee you'll fall in love with my cooking."

"Heh~" Nangong Nayue sneered, then pointed her fan at the time.
