???~

The singing voice floated along with the wind and reached the ears of everyone in the house.

The children ran to the window and the door, looking at Xiwang singing in the rain with some surprise... Even at this moment, Xiwang seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, and even his steps became brisk.

The happy mood drove his limbs and made him dance in the rain, as if he was celebrating the sudden arrival of rain and the sudden fall of water.

"Xiwang, what are you doing?"

The priest naturally came over as well, and frowned as he looked at Xi Wang who was singing and even dancing in the rain. He spoke in a gentle voice while trying to stop other children who wanted to run out to play in the rain.

"Come back soon, don't play anymore, getting wet in the rain is bad for your health."

???~

But Xiwang ignored him.

"If you keep doing this, you'll become a bad boy, okay?"

The priest frowned again, and while maintaining a gentle tone, there was a hint of threat in his words.

"........."

Xi Wang opened his eyes a little, glanced at him, then closed his eyes again and continued singing.

He seemed to be saying: I know what you are saying, but I don't want to hear it.

"...You're really naughty."

The priest's tone was somewhat helpless, with a hint of joy but also a hint of irritation.

He was naturally happy because, in the past, he could have used this as an excuse to label Xi Wang a "bad boy".

The reason for his irritability was naturally that he knew that the director had been keeping an eye on him recently, so he had to stay quiet and not make too many moves. Therefore, no matter how much he thought about Xi Wang, he had to suppress it first.

But...some reasonable [punishment] is okay, right?

After all, he is a [bad boy]~

So the priest took a step and walked into the rain.

tick-

The rain hit his body, and the sudden cold feeling made him shiver... Is the rain so cold?

But he didn't care too much, because he saw that when he stepped into the rain and approached Xiwang... Xiwang's figure paused slightly, and even the singing stopped.

Ha... just a slightly rebellious little guy - the priest smiled in his heart and didn't care.

The priest just came to Xiwang's side and reached out to grab Xiwang's wrist.

"Okay, come back with me and be a good boy, okay?"

He said so.

However... Xi Wang turned around and dodged.

"you!"

"Father...are you too anxious?"

Xi Wang said this softly, but the tone was completely different from before.

It was not the kind of well-behaved, quiet tone like that of a shy child, but a dangerous, confident, and slightly weird tone that did not sound like something a child could say.

"Xiwang, what are you talking about? Come back with me. It's not good to get caught in the rain. You'll catch a cold."

"Humph~?"

The priest reiterated, but the only response he got was Xiwang's happy hum.

The melody, which should have been a relaxing one, now sounded so harsh and irritating to the priest.

"What a naughty child... Come back with me!"

The priest temporarily put aside his gentle tone and warned in a low voice, looking at Xiwang with dangerous eyes.

"Ah……"

However, at this moment, Xi Wang stopped, opened his eyes, and looked at him.

? !

But the priest unconsciously took a small step back.

Because he suddenly noticed that Xi Wang's eyes at this moment... seemed to have changed.

In the dark pupils, there are bright spots of golden light like stars, and there is an especially obvious scarlet circle on the outer contour of the pupils.

More importantly, the meaning in his eyes... Not as quiet and shy as before, but soft like water and gentle like the wind.

Rather, it was an extremely dangerous look, one that carried a strong threat and warning, and even a little bit of a teasing look... like a look one gives to a prey.

That was definitely not a look a child would show.

And he didn't know if it was the priest's illusion, but after being looked at like this by Xi Wang, he always had an illusion... that he was [marked], as if he would encounter something extremely bad next.

"...Okay, Father, I will be obedient."

But at this moment, Xi Wang suddenly laughed again, her laugh was bright and gentle, and her tone was exceptionally cheerful and lively, completely opposite to her previous quiet and shy appearance.

"........."

However, at this moment, the priest did not respond to Xi Wang's words at all... because the feeling he had was not gone yet. The feeling that he was being stared at by something dangerous, that he was [marked] by something strange, was not gone yet... and it had even become more obvious!

"I'm sorry to have made the priest worried~"

Xiwang walked towards the room, and when passing by the priest, he patted his lower abdomen lightly, as if to remind the stunned priest, and then continued walking forward on his own.

"........."

But the priest remained frozen in place, not moving.

"Father?"

It was not until Xi Wang's voice came from behind that the priest seemed to come back to his senses. He turned around and looked at him.

"Aren't you going back?"

"... Humph, hurry up. Getting wet in the rain is not what a "good boy" should do. Get ready to be punished."

The priest was silent for a while, and there was a hint of vigilance in his eyes when he looked at Xiwang, but more of anger.

Then he took a step and quickly returned to the room... The cold and wet rain made him feel irritated, and the warmth and dryness made him feel more at ease.

"Ha ha……"

Xi Wang looked at the priest who didn't even care about him anymore and chuckled twice. The curve of his mouth looked a little weird.

"Punishment... I don't know what it will be?"

Xi Wang murmured softly, looking at the priest with a different meaning in his eyes, as if... looking at some [prey].

It's like... marking someone.

【You become more fond of places and weather related to water! 】

"Humph~?"

Xiwang began to hum the cheerful and gentle tune again, and walked towards the room with brisk steps.

Faced with the curiosity and inquiries of other children, Xiwang changed his previous quiet and shy appearance and communicated with other children in a familiar and cheerful voice.

Although the children were a little surprised, the excitement and curiosity that followed made them put these little doubts behind them and happily communicate with Xiwang.

tick-

Meanwhile, the rain…is still falling.

…………

Today is Xiwang's fourth day in the church.

In the afternoon of that day, a priest named Enrique came to the church, found the priest there, and also found Xiwang.

After a brief chat, Father Enrique left, as if he had something important to do.

On the evening of the fifth day, Father Enrique came with the police chief and handcuffed both the priest and the nun and took them away.

On the sixth day, faced with a large amount of evidence that Father Enrique found from nowhere, faced with the tsunami-like public opinion, and faced with the severe condemnation of the "Church", the crimes of the priests and nuns were irrefutable.

On the seventh day, the judgment of the priests and nuns was announced.

And this day, the seventh day... happened to be raining again.

tick-

It is the sound of rain falling.

"Humph~?"

Xi Wang sat on the wall, humming a cheerful melody, swinging her legs in the air, and letting the rain wet her clothes.

"So……"

Xi Wang opened his eyes, and in a trance, he could see the scarlet circle around his pupils...it seemed more conspicuous.

"What will the punishment be?"

"Ha ha……"

Xiwang chuckled softly.

The rain was still falling, covering the world with a veil and adding a touch of dampness to everything around.

Chapter 4382 You Still Have a Lot of Things to Do ()

[After Father Enrique finished dealing with the church and the priest, Sister Teresa also arrived here. The two of them were concerned about you... But this time, they found something a little different about you.]

[On normal days, you are very quiet, like a calm lake, but on rainy days, you become extremely lively, even... dangerous]

[Just like the ocean, sometimes it is as calm as a mirror, and sometimes it is turbulent]

[Father Enrique and Sister Teresa realized that they should take good care of you and guide you... This is not a difficult thing to do because you trust them very much and are willing to listen to their teachings.]

[Under their care, your personality has been adjusted little by little, becoming as lively and well-behaved as an ordinary child...but you appear to be too lively on rainy days.]

[But fortunately, everything is fine. You seem to have become like you were before, so well-behaved, cute, and lovable... Only then did Father Enrique and Mother Teresa breathe a sigh of relief.]

[Then, the two asked you what path you planned to choose and what kind of person you wanted to be in the future]

[In response, you tilted your head, expressing your desire to learn more.]

[Mother Teresa smiled and said that if you do this, you will probably waste your talent in art... However, after finding out that you are very determined, she didn't say much, but just supported your decision and wished you the best in your future.]

[As for what happened next, there is no need to say too much... You followed Father Enrique to many cities and learned all kinds of knowledge from different people, including gentleman's etiquette, theological meditation, and self-defense fists and feet.]

[I would like to specifically mention the theological scholar who taught you meditation… because after you “medited”, you vaguely saw several strange things, including a horn surrounded by flowing water, a sword of fire, a cane wrapped with snakes, and bound and pierced butterflies.]

[And I don’t know if it’s your illusion... The sword with fire and the butterfly pierced by it seem a little blurry... It’s like it will take on a human form from time to time, and the appearance is clearer.]

[In addition, you can also vaguely sense a harp wrapped in starlight and thunder... or is it a key? In short, it is something that keeps changing its appearance, but its shape is more vague than the other four, and I don’t know why.]

[When the theologian who taught you meditation learned this, he was stunned. You could see that his expression was blank, then slowly became terrified and panicked, and finally went crazy.]

[He seemed to find it hard to imagine that someone would receive such "favoritism", and also hard to imagine that someone could endure such "favoritism"]
