Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

Chapter 69 Honorary Advisor No. 001

The relationship between hunter and prey is never fixed.

Sharon wasn't really unable to learn it; she was just instinctively pretending not to.

This kind of thing really doesn't need to be learned. It's like how some women suddenly become powerless in front of the men they like, unable to even open a bottle cap.

But can they really not open it?

They're just deliberately creating opportunities to interact with people they like.

An Ruowang noticed Sharon's gaze and shifted her focus to Sharon's face: "See? It's actually quite simple."

At that moment, he realized that Sharon was already quite close to him.

Since both parties need to put their hands together, it's normal for their bodies to be closer together.

When people communicate, the spatial distance between the two parties is of great significance; it can subtly tell us about their relationship and psychological state.

The distance between An Ruowang and Sharon now exceeds the normal social distance, which is within 45cm and has exceeded the intimate distance.

He could even hear Sharon's soft breathing and sense the pulse and vitality in her body.

But An Ruowang felt that their relationship hadn't reached that point yet, and maintaining this distance seemed a bit inappropriate.

He thought for a moment, then released Sharon's small hand and took a half-step back: "Now, try it yourself?"

Sharon looked at the released hand, then looked up at him: "...

'

This was the first time she had ever initiated such intimate contact with a man.

From childhood to adulthood, from the chaos of the Southern Continent to the shadow of Backlund, she has always been alone.

Her entire world consisted of her teacher's teachings and the precepts of Temperance.

She learned to suppress, to restrain, and to keep all her desires buried deep inside.

Only in this way can one avoid being consumed by the curse of the prisoner's path, and subsequently going mad and out of control.

The temperance school restrains unnecessary and indulgent desires. Romantic love between men and women falls within the normal physiological realm. Humans are born with desires, and only those who have not received proper education in this area would regard them as a monstrous flood.

An Ruowang even met people who felt their genitals were ugly, hated their own gender, and wanted to cut off their genitals.

Sharon had never met anyone "important" before, so she had always suppressed and restrained her love life, thinking that such things were not a big deal.

But just now, when the "important person" tacitly took her hand and led her to turn the pen, Sharon suddenly felt a little dazed.

This feeling of psychological resonance and physical contact with An Ruowang made her feel physically comfortable.

Now, the warmth from his burning body and the unique, pleasant scent emanating from him had vanished in an instant, leaving her feeling a sense of loss and emptiness.

However, she couldn't bring herself to abandon the act of spinning the pen and take the initiative to reach out to the other person.

If she were in a semi-werewolf state, her ears and tail would definitely droop listlessly.

I think Sharon, the temperance advocate, is the real showy but repressed little chef. Does anyone understand?

This kind of long-suppressed feeling, once suddenly granted freedom and exposed to a ray of sunshine, is released in the most intense way.

However, Sharon ultimately did not speak, but simply raised her hand and held the pen between her fingers.

Then, the pen spun smoothly between her fingers.

An Ruowang, without suspecting anything, praised, "I knew you were so smart, you'd learn very quickly."

"It's because you taught me well," Sharon replied, then suddenly recalled that the other person seemed to have said something similar before.

An Ruowang smiled and readily agreed, "Let's stop here for today. Take it slow, don't rush it. From now on, when you teach me combat and marksmanship each day, I'll also teach you a little bit in my spare time, how about that?"

Unreasonable task and target setting, coupled with the conflict between parents' and elders' eagerness for quick results, is also one of the major reasons why some people feel frustrated with their studies.

Sharon pursed her lips, seemingly a little disappointed: "—Okay."

Seeing this, An Ruowang smoothly changed the subject: "By the way, speaking of which, there is another important matter."

Upon hearing this, Sharon looked up, suppressed the surging emotions within her, and immediately became serious, instantly switching into battle mode: "Speak."

"No need to take it so seriously, it's not urgent," An Ruowang waved her hand.

He is very methodical in everything he does, and he considers urgent matters and important matters to be two different things.

An Ruowang lifted her priest's robes, showing them off: "Teacher Sharon, now you know I'm a chosen one of the Goddess of Night, and have successfully become an unofficial Night Watcher, right?"

Sharon was a little confused: "Hmm."

"Then—" An Ruowang flipped her hand, magically producing a badge as if by magic, and showed it off, "Would you like to become an honorary advisor to the Church of the Night?"

It was a black metal badge, with the classic Crimson Moon pattern on the front, looking small and exquisite, with a string of Rune script on the bottom—

"Watching over in the darkness"

On the reverse side of the emblem is the official title and number engraved in Rune: "Honorary Advisor of the Church of the Night, No. 001".

An Ruowang's position is "Family Member", which can also be described as "Unofficial Night Watchman", so he is not number 001.

Sharon was stunned.

She looked at the badge, then at An Ruowang, her small eyes filled with utter confusion: "—What?"

"Honorary Advisor"

An Ruowang pushed the badge forward: "You don't need to join the Night Watch squad, nor do you need to be subject to daily scheduling or information gathering, but you can choose whether to help when the church needs you. In return, based on your contribution, you can enjoy certain treatment and benefits, including certain tax breaks and official protection."

He thought for a moment, then added, "As you know, this system came about because of me. Because it's still in the exploratory stage, the specific rules are unclear, but the restrictions aren't many. You can think of it as becoming a mercenary for the Church of the Night?"

An Ruowang smiled: "In that case, as long as you stay in Backlund, you'll be safe. The hedonistic faction within the Rose School won't dare to lay a hand on you or provoke the Church of the Night."

Sharon paused for a moment: "—It will cause you trouble."

She originally thought that this title of unofficial night watchman or honorary advisor was An Ruowang's own idea, and that he had fought for it for himself, and that he was the only one who held it.

Upon seeing the badge numbered "001", Sharon's mind and spiritual intuition immediately connected the dots and revealed the truth of the matter.

She had previously confided in him about her situation as a Temperance advocate being hunted down by the Hedonists, so he specifically applied to the Church of the Night to include her in the system of honorary advisors.
