Chapter 292: Kailun’s Celebration
“The greatest demon has been slain. The kingdom will enjoy lasting peace. Enjoy the celebration, everyone. The future belongs to all of you.”
After eliminating Paul, Kailun waved his sleeve and sat back down.
The people in the plaza were silent for a moment, stunned by the scene of the demon being instantly killed. Such a powerful demon wasn’t even a match for their king.
No, strictly speaking, Kailun had only moved his hand to suppress the demon.
The next second, thunderous cheers erupted from the plaza. Countless people chanted Kailun’s name, their respect for him reaching new heights. They practically worshipped him.
Seeing those adoring eyes, Pope Meggie Liran sighed. No one could match Kailun when it came to manipulating people’s hearts. But from another perspective, his actions had indeed changed many lives.
He had broken down the barriers of knowledge, giving the masses new possibilities. He had built trade routes, revitalizing the economies of various countries. He had purged the “tumors” within the Temple, rebalancing the world’s powers…
Judging solely by his actions, Kailun might truly be a good person for most people.
However, in her eyes, he was still a demon. He had bullied both Chrissy and her.
If it weren’t for her strong willpower, she might have already broken down under his relentless attacks.
“I’m feeling a bit unwell. Can I be excused? This celebration seems like it will last for a while.”
Meggie Liran withdrew her gaze from the plaza.
People were already cleaning the bloodstains on the altar. There would be many performances later, and in the afternoon, a series of new reforms would be announced.
The celebration would last for three days. During these three days, all alcoholic beverages in the kingdom would be sold at a seventy percent discount, with the government covering the losses for the taverns.
Of course, the so-called “government funding” actually came from the Temple’s coffers. Every time she thought about this, she would curse Kailun in her heart for his shamelessness.
“Unwell? Do you need me to examine you? Don’t underestimate me. I’m actually quite good at healing.” Kailun played with her hair. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask Chrissy. Every time she complains about chest pain, I’m the one who heals her. This kind of minor problem is nothing to me. You can trust me. I never lie.”
“Yes, yes, he’s right. Master has a pair of skillful and powerful hands. He always makes me feel so comfortable.” Chrissy said with a dreamy look, her eyes sparkling.
Meggie Liran: “…”
Such a good Saint, corrupted by Kailun. A demon like him should be burned at the stake!
Unfortunately, there was no one in the world who could punish Kailun anymore. Even the entity who had created the Temple of the Celestial God had become his pawn.
Seeing Meggie Liran looking at her with a strange expression, Fate tilted her head and blinked her big eyes. “I guess you must be suffering from a heart ailment. Ordinary medicine probably won’t work. You need Master Kailun to personally treat you. Am I right, Master Kailun~”
She imitated Chrissy and called Kailun “Master,” her actions not only teasing Meggie Liran but also flirting with Kailun.
Kailun gave Fate an appreciative look. “She’s right. I’m very good at treating heart ailments. You can trust me with this. If you’re interested in the celebration, you can stay and watch. If not, you can leave anytime. I might need some time to ‘treat’ her.”
He wasn’t interested in the rest of the program. He could leave those trivial matters to others. Compared to the celebration, he was more interested in playing with the Pope’s restless heart.
His abilities had increased again, and he wanted to find an opportunity to test them. The Pope, kneeling before him, was the perfect subject.
“Chrissy, come with us too. I can use this opportunity to see if your old ‘illness’ has relapsed.” After taking Meggie Liran’s hand, Kailun also called for Chrissy. He wanted to see if this mother and daughter had a “heart-to-heart” connection.
“Okay, okay!” Chrissy nodded excitedly. “Now that you mention it, Master, my chest does feel a bit sore. It seems you need to thoroughly investigate and find the root cause.”
“Chrissy, stop fooling around!”
Meggie Liran’s face flushed red, and she warned Chrissy. If it weren’t for the veil covering her face, she wouldn’t have the face to see anyone.
Having experienced Kailun’s “treatment” before, she knew he was just trying to bully her. What else could she do but endure it?
But having Chrissy join in was a different story. She was afraid she would bash her head against the wall in shame. Being together with her adopted daughter… it was too embarrassing.
“Mother, I’m not fooling around. I just want Master to treat me. Why are you so angry? Did you misunderstand something?”
Chrissy grinned and hugged Kailun’s other arm, sticking her tongue out at Meggie Liran playfully, her eyes filled with “filial piety.”
After waiting for so long, she could finally fulfill her wish: to share the “joy” and “suffering” with her mother. Such wonderful sensations should be shared with Mother.
Hearing Chrissy call her “Mother,” Meggie Liran’s fair neck turned crimson. “I’m not your mother! Stop fooling around!”
She couldn’t admit her relationship with Chrissy. She knew it would only excite Kailun.
But as if to spite her, Kailun gently scratched her palm. “Don’t worry, we can address each other separately. Chrissy can call me ‘Daddy,’ and you can call me ‘Master.'”
Chrissy seemed to understand his intentions. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. “That’s right, Daddy~”
“Pfft!”
Meggie Liran almost spat out blood in anger. Her face was as red as blood, her eyes glaring at Kailun resentfully.
It seemed they were determined to bully her. Was she, the Pope, going to be “corrupted” today?
“Hey, hey, hey, can I join too? Listening to you, my chest also feels a bit sore.” Fate, wanting to get in on the action, jumped up from her seat. How could she miss out on such fun?
“Sure, come with me.”
Kailun readily agreed and led Meggie Liran and Chrissy to the next room, which was secluded and private.
As the king, it was only natural for him to enjoy himself during the celebration, right?
After the four of them entered the room and closed the door, Ottovia Nuonuo blushed and said, “Hmph, that Fate is as vulgar as ever!”
She didn’t dare to scold Kailun, but she could scold Fate. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t feel at ease.
Of course, she wouldn’t admit that she was also tempted. She wasn’t that kind of person.
But why did everyone else have a strange glint in their eyes?
