Chapter 394 394: Lessons Learned (Part 1)

Renji thought that Yuki would have a big reaction, if not getting jealous, at least she should be surprised.

However, the blonde girl in front of him just nodded, then propped her cheek with one hand, and said with a bit of emotion, “Is that so? It happened much faster than I expected.”

“Expected… much faster?”

Renji didn’t quite understand what Yuki meant.

But Yuki just smiled and didn’t explain. After brushing it off with a chuckle, she quickly put on a very curious look, eager to hear the gossip, and impatiently asked the young man:

“Quickly tell your big sister, how did you two meet? What’s her name? How old is she? What does she do? I’m very curious about what kind of woman out there could capture our little brother’s heart so quickly.”

Faced with Yuki’s enthusiastic questioning, as if she cared more about the other person than himself, Renji was a bit confused for a moment. This was a bit different from the plot he had imagined.

Are all women like this?

Although Yuki’s reaction was a bit strange, Renji had no way back now. He took out the autographed photo of Lena that he had prepared earlier from his bosom and placed it on the table.

“The convenience store where I work happens to be right next to the Alliance building. Today, out of curiosity, I was thinking about borrowing a card from a friend to sneak into the building and take a look at the Alliance, but I was discovered by the Alliance employees inside.”

“Afterwards… Originally, the Alliance people all said they were going to call security and the police. Fortunately, she stepped in to help us and resolved the matter.”

Renji simply recounted today’s events to Yuki, and naturally, “she” was the pink-haired woman in the photo.

Yuki listened very attentively, then following Renji’s words, she also shifted her gaze to the photo.

“So what about this autographed photo?”

“Later, I found out that her name is Lena, and she is the chief designer of the Alliance. Because I borrowed my friend’s phone and played ‘Fallen Chronicles II’ a few times, I had a very good impression of her. I was thinking about whether I could get an autograph. Afterwards, miss Lena not only gave me her autograph but also took a photo with me in a very approachable manner.”

Renji continued to explain truthfully.

Hearing this, Yuki nodded, “So, you fell in love with her?”

Although Yuki’s expression didn’t change much and her voice was very normal, Renji always felt something strange, a feeling he couldn’t quite describe.

But there was no way around it. He had never been in a relationship and didn’t understand women at all. He could only continue with a stiff upper lip, “Mm, yes…”

In fact, in Renji’s heart, he indeed had a great fondness for Lena, and a very strong sense of closeness, even though it was their first meeting.

But Renji mostly regarded this as love at first sight, after all, Lena’s beauty was indeed no less than Yuki’s.

And the reason why he wanted to lie to Yuki now, saying that he liked Lena, even love at first sight, was more because he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Yuki.

To be precise, to get rid of their improper relationship.

After all, in Renji’s traditional view, how could there be anything between a landlord and a tenant? This kind of plot was simply the same as what happens in some erotic novels.

And the better Yuki treated him, the more reluctant Renji was to take advantage of her.

He hoped to establish a normal, sincere, and pure friendship with Yuki.

And not like now, as if he was being favored by some rich woman and being kept by her.

On the other side.

Seeing Renji’s affirmative reply, Yuki also nodded as if it was a matter of course:

“Mm, indeed, as a big celebrity, Director Lena can dote on her fans like this, which can really make people have a good impression of her. Plus, She is indeed very beautiful. If I were you, I guess I would fall in love with her too.”

“Huh? Sister Yuki, you… know her too?”

“Don’t think that just because I’m older, I don’t play games.” Yuki blinked her eyes and didn’t directly answer.

And Renji also naturally went along with Yuki’s words, understanding that Yuki was also a player of “Fallen Chronicles II”, so it was normal for her to know Lena.

“Alright, I roughly understand. Don’t worry, your big sister will support you!”

Yuki waved her little fist at him, looking like she would give him advice and even be his wingwoman.

“No, Sister Yuki, I… I don’t mean it that way.”

“What’s wrong? Don’t you trust your big sister? Let me tell you, just earlier today, the friend who came to visit me at home also came to consult me about relationships. I have a lot of experience in this area! With my support, you’ll definitely be able to win the beauty’s heart!~”

Renji finally couldn’t hold back anymore.

Winning the beauty’s heart and getting Yuki’s support were not his goals at all.

Renji stopped beating around the bush and chose to directly break the window paper.

“No! what I mean is, from now on, let’s not… not… not fix things anymore.”

What “fixing things” meant, both of them understood.

After the young man said this, the living room fell into silence.

The atmosphere became a bit heavy. Just as Renji was thinking about what else to say to break the silence, Yuki got up from the table and sat down beside him.

Next, without saying anything or making any moves, the blonde woman beside him seemed to fall into some kind of memory, looking up at the ceiling and murmuring to Renji:

“Renji, would you like to hear a story from your big sister?”

A story?

It was a bit abrupt. Renji wasn’t quite sure what Yuki wanted to do, but he subconsciously nodded along, “…Okay.”Vissit n𝒐velbin(.)c𝒐m for 𝒏ew 𝒏ovels

“A long, long time ago, there was a world full of scars. In this land filled with suffering, all living beings lived very hard lives. The world also didn’t want to see the creatures on the continent suffer, so it gave birth to a new powerful race called elves.”

“Elves were the darlings of the world, born with great power. They were the guardians of the world. They received a blessing from the world, a very powerful blessing—they could gain strength from helping others.”

“The mission given to the elves by the world was to help the suffering creatures, to give them shelter, and to fulfill their wishes.”

“When an elf helped enough creatures and fulfilled enough of their wishes, their own strength would also increase rapidly. This was specifically manifested in the wings behind the elves.”

“Two wings, four wings, six wings, eight wings, ten wings… and the legendary twelve wings.”

“In history, the most powerful elf only reached ten wings and could no longer advance, even if they helped countless more creatures and helped them fulfill even greater and more ambitious wishes, they still couldn’t evolve to the final twelve wings.”

“Many elves were very puzzled and perplexed by this, and also deeply unwilling to accept it, because if they could reach twelve wings, they might not only be able to save living beings but even… save this terminally ill world.”

“Therefore, countless elves who reached ten wings in history were trying their best to continue helping other creatures in order to gain the world’s recognition and obtain the power of ‘twelve wings’ that could save the world.”

“But in the end, there was still no result. Even worse, an outstanding ten-winged elf perished while trying to fulfill someone else’s wish, a very greedy wish.”

“The death of the ten-winged elf sounded the alarm for all elves, making them disheartened and gradually retreating into seclusion, no longer believing in the existence of ‘twelve wings’ and accepting the fate that the world would eventually perish.”

“Similarly, the vast majority of elves also gave up the blessing given to them by the world, no longer fulfilling the wishes of living beings or drawing strength from helping others, and instead cultivating on their own.”

“But without the help of the blessing, elves were actually no stronger than other races and became increasingly declining. Moreover, because they refused to help other creatures, they even gained a bad reputation for being arrogant and conceited.”

“If this continued, perhaps the end would really come, but… a turning point appeared.”

“One day, a human intruded into the elven realm. At that time, the elves were no longer as glorious as before. The decline of the elven world also allowed monsters to run rampant, and even the elven race faced the crisis of being invaded by monsters.”

“In such a dangerous situation, the captain of the elven knights, in order to quickly gain the power to resist the monsters, could only restart the fundamental reason that once made the elven race powerful—the blessing from the world. She had to go and fulfill the wishes of other living beings.”

“And this human who intruded into the elven race naturally became the target of the female knight captain.”

“The wishes of living beings have always been greedy and bottomless, and humans are even more so. The knight captain had originally prepared to satisfy the greedy human in exchange for power. But surprisingly, during the interaction between the knight captain and the human, none of the wishes made by the human were for his own benefit.”

“On the contrary, the human only hoped to defeat the monsters, save more suffering people, purify the pollution, and make wishes for this world and even for the elven knight captain.”

“By fulfilling the human’s wishes, the knight captain’s strength rapidly increased, from four wings to six wings, then to eight wings, and finally reached the pinnacle of the elven race’s history—a ten-winged great elf.”

“It was not until this point that the knight captain realized that the world’s recognition was not about letting the elves selflessly fulfill the wishes of others, but about finding someone who was willing to ‘make wishes’ not for themselves.”

“At this moment, the knight captain understood the conditions for achieving ‘twelve wings’, but under the rules of the world, like many predecessors, she could not say it out loud and could only rely on that human. And in the end, the human also gave the only answer.”

“Renji, do you want to guess what wish this human finally made to the ten-winged knight captain in the story?”
