Chapter 77.3 - Tower of God: Fairy Illusion (2/2)

Even though the interval between attacks was shortened from half a day to a few hours, even though the vine was much stronger and had thorns all over its length, and even though the juice was replaced with a strong acid, the vines’s role became that of an actor who appears on stage for a second before he is immediately killed off.2 They can’t even get within 10 meters of Xiu before they are killed.

Vine: I used to be a powerful fighter like you, then I took an arrow in the knee … I mean,an arrow in the fruit.3

With the Moe Lord who was at the level of a false god, they finally found the maze’s exit. The scenery beyond it was like the elf kingdom that Du Ze had seen before. There were lakes surrounding the Tree of Life and the wind whistled through the trees, like an invitation – apparently this was the endpoint of the elf trial.

Enoch and the demon sisters had never seen such a beautiful place so they wanted to stay for a while. The Tower of God had recreated the elf kingdom exactly, hence Ariel was quite at home and was able to guide them to an elven tree house. The house was fully furnished but there were no people inside. It seems that the Tower of God only copied the scenery but not the people.

They were in the maze so long that everyone was tired. They all found rooms to rest in. Du Ze and Xiu naturally found a room for themselves. Du Ze felt very tired because every time they killed the vines, the porcelain people would turn to them for help. The first refusal, he didn’t take it to heart. The second refusal made him feel guilty. By the third and fourth times … he had become numb and learned to ignore them.

All kinds of thoughts whirled around in Du Ze’s brain. The Tower of God, “the rules,” the Creator God, … even though he was very tired, he did not want to go to bed. He stood inside the room blankly for a while then walked out of the house

The huge moon seemed to fill the entire night sky. He was in this place of eternal night for such a long time that his body clock was a bit confused. Du Ze had just sat down on a branch when he heard someone come to his side. Even without looking, Du Ze knew that it was Xiu.

The branches trembled slightly as Xiu sat beside him. Du Ze suddenly felt that this scene was quite familiar. The shining lake, the glowing spores floating in the air, and even the person beside him, it was exactly the same as that night.

Xiu stretched out his hand and gently touched the back of Du Ze’s neck. When Du Ze turned his head, the corner of Xiu’s lips turned up and he smiled.

“Do you want to hear me sing?”

A breeze ruffled the elf’s silver hair, disrupting time and space, and Du Ze seemed to return to that night at the elf kingdom. At that time, a silly, cute reader heard his favorite protagonist confess to him and he was so scared that his soul almost escaped from his body.

When he thought of that scene, Du Ze turned his head to the side, unable to stop himself from smiling. Xiu looked at Du Ze’s profile and lowered his head to kiss the upturned corner of Du Ze’s mouth.

“I like you, Du Ze,” Xiu whispered. His voice was very light and each word he said was imbued with a bottomless emotion.

“I like you very much, I like you a lot, I like you so much that I’m a bit … I don’t know what to do.” The elf’s voice was like fine wine; after listening to it for a long time, one will become intoxicated. Xiu took Du Ze in his arms. The elf sighed in satisfaction, as though he had received the best gift in the world.

“In one month’s time I’ll have you.”

The thought of that one-month agreement suddenly made Du Ze realize that Xiu was always the one who took the initiative, while he was always passive.

He likes Xiu so why not take the initiative?

Du Ze reached out to embrace Xiu.

Just like now, he wants the two of them to be closer and it’s better for them to act as equals. Then, shouldn’t he do something to dispel this bit of uneasiness?

Du Ze pushed Xiu away. A silly, cute person wanted to take the initiative. He wanted to speak but did not know what to say; because he cares so much, he became too nervous and tongue-tied.

What should I say? “Come at me right now?” That doesn’t seem quite right …This young man has seen a lot of things online. In this case, well, he should say, something like –

Gazing into Xiu’s eyes, Du Ze, with an impassive face, uttered the first line that came to his mind.

“Give it to me good.”

…………

……

…… WTF!!!

Translator’s Notes:

The line that Du Ze said to Xiu was actually quite vulgar and it’s a CN meme. I did not translate it since the meme is not even known outside of China. I guess a G-rated version of it would be “Do me from the front” or something like that. However, such a literal translation seemed weird, therefore I translated it as “Give it to me good.” That is the actual meaning or something like “Take me now” … but as a funny meme. Sorry, idk any similar meme in English.

What do you think is going to happen next? *smirks*
