"You didn't even lock the door. The room is empty." Kuran Shu seemed to sigh, the sound barely audible. "Do you really want to escape from me?"
His eyes fell on Yin Li, but it seemed as if he was not looking at Yin Li. His expression was very calm, not angry, but a little melancholy.
Seeing that he was not angry, Yin Li felt relieved. "This has nothing to do with you. I have stayed here long enough. It is time for me to leave. It is just that you... just happened to come back."
Kiryuu frowned. Compared to the fact that Yin Li left because of him, this answer was even more difficult for him to accept.
Rather than ignoring him, he would rather Yin Li be hostile to him and hate him.
As long as it's memorable, the means don't matter.
"Do you believe what you said?" Kuran Shu suddenly lost his usual gentleness, his words became sharp, and a red light flashed in his eyes. "It's not because of me? Then why didn't you say goodbye to me?"
"I didn't say goodbye to anyone." Yin Li looked into his eyes gently, as if looking at a naughty child.
"You can't leave." Kuran Shu stood up and walked towards Yin Li, then knelt in front of him and held his right hand with both hands.
"My Lord, I don't need your permission for my actions." Yin Li said sarcastically.
He was a little disgusted by Zero Kiryu's touch and wanted to pull his hand back, but Zero Kiryu's next words made him stunned in his chair.
"I have signed a contract with the Holy Church. I will keep an eye on you and not let you leave the territory." Jiulan Shu put his face against the back of Yin Li's hand, with red light flashing in his eyes.
"Watch over me? What right do you and the Holy Church have to restrict me?" Yin Li's attitude was cold. He lowered his eyes and looked down at Jiulan Shu condescendingly, the cold light in his eyes almost overflowing.
Looking at this look, a fire ignited in Kiryuu's heart, his soul trembled, his breathing became heavier, his body shook, and he held Yin Li's hand tighter, as if he wanted to merge the two into one.
He stared at the white-haired boy with scorching eyes.
That's it!
He finally knew what he wanted!
He wanted Yin Li to look at him. Pure Son of God, merciful Father, please look at me.
He wanted to make Yin Li angry and let her be infected with human desires! And all this was caused by him.
He wanted to love him, to become one with him!
The moment he gave up his life, he killed himself, and Yin Li, who saved him, should be responsible for him.
"With my life. I guarantee with my life that you will not leave here." He tilted his head and began to kiss the back of Yin Li's hand.
He's threatening me with his own life?!
Shock, anger, and disbelief intertwined in his heart. Yin Li suddenly pulled out his hand, grabbed Kuran Shu's neck, and threw him to the ground.
"Are you threatening me with your own life? Do you have the guts to do that?"
"If you use a little more force, you might be able to kill me." Kuran Shu stroked the hand on his neck. He could even speak, "And the safer way is to stab me directly in the heart."
Yin Li would not kill him. What Kuran Shu did did make him sick, but it never touched his bottom line.
Sensing that the force on his neck was beginning to relax, Zero Kuran pulled the boy to the ground with force, and the two exchanged positions.
Yin Li looked at his actions coldly, "I don't understand, what exactly do you want to do?"
He and Kiryu Kiryu had only met a few times, spending less than a day together at most, and interacting with him only a few times. He never believed that he had the charm to make Kiryu Kiryu fall in love with him in just a few days and be so obsessed with him.
He was more inclined to believe that Zero Kiryu's persistence was a desire for conquest and possession, which was the bad nature of all men.
"I want you to be mine."
Shu Kiryu looked at the young man under him, his white curly hair spread on the floor, his messy black robe revealing his white collarbone during the argument, the faint candlelight illuminated his cold and hard profile, his red eyes staring at Shu Kiryu with contempt, as if he saw through his inferior nature.
Zero Kiryu looked at him for a moment, then covered his eyes to hide the cruel look. He lowered his head and leaned over, licking the smooth neck with his lips and tongue. His fangs easily pierced the soft skin, and the warm blood flowed down his throat into his body. A sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously, and at this moment they became one.
Hearing the clear swallowing sound beside his ear, Yin Li tilted his head and said, "Goodbye, Jiulan Shu."
Zero Kuran?
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Zero Kiryu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly an irresistible dizziness rose from his body, and his body fell down weakly.
Yin Li looked at Shu Kiryu falling on her, golden energy flowing in Yin Li's eyes, and the Enchanting Demon Eyes with the functions of confinement, brainwashing, and memory tampering were activated.
He stood up and looked at the unconscious Kiryuu, and suddenly something flashed his eyes.
A small red glass bottle rolled to the ground at some point.
Chapter 199 Jiulanshu 17
A week has passed since Zero Kuran's memory was erased.
Yin Li didn't see him again during this week.
After leading everyone in the church to finish the service, Yin Li closed the book in his hand and prepared to walk down from the pulpit.
"Father, please don't leave yet. We have something to tell you."
Yin Li turned around and looked at the farmers in front of him. Their patched coarse cloth clothes were covered with dust, and they looked tired.
"What do you want to say? Please sit down." Yin Li said gently.
Looking at the gentle priest, several people pondered for a moment before one of them finally spoke.
"Father, you know, our lord, he... he's a monster!" The man said nervously, "Please go and destroy him!"
"A week ago, the church visited the lord, and their carriage passed through the market. You should have heard about this. The church left, and the lord is safe and sound." Yin Li looked at the group of people in front of him, their expressions varied. "The church acquiesced to the lord's power, so I naturally support the church's decision."
"But it's a monster. It will hurt us. You have to protect us!"
"That monster lord can suck blood! I once saw him suck a living person dry!"
"As a priest, you should eliminate heresy!"
Their words aroused the grief and fear of the crowd. The crowd that did not disperse was also infected by fear and began to use emotions and morality to coerce Yin Li.
"Quiet!" Yin Li's voice was steady and powerful, but his expression was no longer gentle. "I know why you are here. The lord has started collecting taxes, right?"
The crowd fell silent, they began to look around, they began to get restless.
"He's starting to clean up the market, hasn't he?"
"He's enacted a lot of new measures that benefit the town, but harm your interests, right?"
"You know what? He emptied his savings to pay last year's taxes and handed them over to the church. Now he's just restoring the normal tithe, and you can't stand it? Has he ever asked you for anything extra?"
"He's been back for a week. Didn't you just find out he's back in the territory now? He walks the streets every day, surveying the town. Didn't you see it?"
"You still say he's a monster and that he'll hurt people? Did he really kill anyone in front of you or bite your neck and suck your blood?"
"Don't use high-sounding excuses to cover up your greed. He just touched your interests."
"I've never seen him sucking blood from you. Instead, you're like flies trying to suck his flesh dry."
Yin Li stood on the pulpit, looking down at the crowd below with a look of disappointment and pity. The sunlight shone through the stained glass windows, casting mottled shadows on him.
Suddenly one man knelt down and began to confess, “Dear Heavenly Father, please forgive us and send the Holy Spirit to sanctify us.”
More and more people knelt down and said in unison, "My dear Heavenly Father, Holy Spirit! Please forgive my sins, because you came to summon sinners, not the righteous."
After the collective confession was over, Zero Kuran walked forward from the shadows on the side.
The young priest had been delayed for a long time and was packing up to prepare the hall. Even when he saw Zero Kiryu walking out of the shadows, he did not stop.
Jiulan Shu had no choice but to wave away the servants behind him and followed him while saying, "Thank you for protecting me, Father Yin Li."
Yin Li responded politely, "I'm not defending you, but justice. Please forgive me, I have to go to teach next, and the students have been waiting for a long time."
"No need to apologize. It's my fault for coming here in such an intrusive way. I heard about Father Yin Li's deeds as soon as I got back. Unfortunately, I've been busy with official duties recently, so I haven't come to visit you until now. I was also delayed this morning because of my affairs. As an apology, please allow me to share your worries. I can teach you some basic knowledge."
After passing through the side door of the hall and down the long corridor, Yin Li pushed open the wooden door of the classroom. Students sat in the front row, their bodies jumbled together. The few students barely filled the room. Their ages varied, from the youngest five to the oldest sixteen. Each one had ink, a quill, and parchment in front of them. In this era of book scarcity, textbooks weren't always available to everyone. Even the stationery was provided by Yin Li.
Kiryuu Shu observed the young faces in the classroom. Most of them were farmers' children, wearing patched clothes. Long-term heavy work had left thick calluses on their hands, and there was black dust in the gaps between their nails that could not be washed off.
The moment they saw the glamorous Kiryuu Shu, they shrank back and felt restrained. It was a fear of facing someone in a higher position and a sense of inferiority towards themselves.
Zero Kuran withdrew his gaze from them, wanting to reduce his presence as much as possible so as not to cause them any pressure.
Yin Li picked up a book from the podium and handed it to him, "This is the content you will teach later, familiarize yourself with it first."
Zero Kuran nodded, took the book, and walked to the last row of seats and sat down.
He casually flipped through the textbook in his hand. The font in the book was beautiful, clean and neat. Although he had never seen Yin Li's handwriting, he subconsciously thought that this was written by Yin Li. This was a textbook copied down for students.
The content of the book was also the most basic introductory knowledge of the subject. He simply went through it, then raised his head and listened to Yin Li's teaching.
In order to take care of the younger students, Yin Li taught very slowly. He would go down one by one to check everyone's parchment.
The students also cooperated with his teaching. Even when the children slowed down their progress, no one got angry. The classroom atmosphere was very good. There is a special place where ordinary children can go to school. Not only can they receive an education, but they can also go to school with their peers and make friends. Being in such a place is enough to make them happy.
Only a few basic words were taught in one class. Seeing that it was time to end the get out of class, Yin Li let them take a break and go outside the church to exercise and bask in the sun.
"Teacher, who is that adult?"
Most of the students knew the identity of Zero Kiryu, and those who didn't knew had guessed it. With his aristocratic attire and inhuman beauty, he was undoubtedly the lord.
Only the youngest student, 5-year-old Anna, curiously pulled Yin Li's clothes and asked this question.
Yin Li picked her up and introduced Jiulan Shu to everyone, "This is the Lord. I'll leave the next lesson to him."
"Hello." Jiulan Shu looked at the students who were still reserved in front of him. Some of them even hid behind Yin Li. "This is my first time as a teacher. I am definitely not as good as your teacher Yin Li. If my teaching is bad, please don't make fun of me."
Looking at Zero's gentle smile and listening to his lack of confidence, the braver children stepped forward to comfort him, "It's okay, we didn't know anyone at the beginning, and it was Teacher Yin Li who slowly taught us. Teacher Yin Li said that everyone starts from not knowing how to do it and then goes on to know how to do it, there's nothing to be ashamed of."
"Yes, and the Lord must know more than us. It should be okay for him to teach us, right?" At the end of the question, he looked at Yin Li uncertainly.
Yin Li smiled and nodded to him.
"You are so beautiful." Anna, who was held by Yin Li, stretched out her hand towards Kuran Shu's face, and stroked his face with her tender hands.
Kuran Shu was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since he heard people praise him from the heart. He smiled and touched her head, "You are cute too."
Chapter 200 Jiulanshu 18
At around 11 o'clock, Kuran Shu was standing on the podium giving a lecture. Seeing that everything was going well, Yin Li left the classroom to prepare lunch for the students.
At that time, most people ate two meals a day and skipped breakfast. However, farmers had to get up at dawn to work and could not survive without breakfast, so they mostly ate three meals a day.
Yin Li provides lunch for the students, and the portion is sufficient. He allows the students to take away any leftover food. This is why the farmers agree to send their children to school here.
Lunch was white bread, jam, vegetable soup and some fruit.
After preparing lunch, Yin Li returned to the classroom and told them to leave.
