Ash put her hand away, looking a little uncomfortable.
"But since you don't have a relationship and you don't have a family, won't you always be alone?"
"We have always been... Yeah!"
Freya suddenly remembered something, took out her homework from her schoolbag and started writing furiously: "The benefits of the socialized upbringing system include this... Cultivating an independent consciousness from an early age... Getting used to fighting alone... Having more advantages in exploring the virtual world... "Every citizen of Blood Moon is a qualified reserve magician"... Okay, it would be unreasonable for the professor not to give me full marks this time!"
Ash watched her write her paper and continued to ask, "Don't you want to have a perfect harmony with your lover, don't you want to share your joy and confide your stress to your loved ones, don't you want someone to care about you?"
"Why are you asking so many weird questions... Are you planning to become my lover and live with me?!"
"I've already said that I will stay here for a maximum of seven days and then leave."
Freya shrugged and replied, "I don't need to find a lover. I can get a perfect relationship by spending some money on Nika. If I want to share my joy, I can show off my achievements to my classmates in the curtain. If I want to talk about my stress, I should go to a psychotherapist. As for caring, isn't this another way of saying 'investment'? If someone cares about me, it means he wants to gain greater benefits from me."
"If I am of great use, everyone will care about me; if I am of no value, naturally no one will care about me, even my lover will leave me. This is very superficial human nature."
Ash said softly: "But human nature is not only about weighing interests, but also about truth, goodness and beauty."
"But why should I pin my hopes on others instead of investing all my resources in myself?" Freya smiled and said, "If I'm hungry, I can go to the restaurant. If I need something, I can go to Nika. If my room is dirty, I can find a part-time worker. If I feel stressed, I can go to a psychotherapist. Psychotherapist is actually one of my future career options. It's the 17th century now. If I have any needs, I can just spend money to satisfy them. Why should I gamble on human nature?"
"Even my gambling-addicted friend Adela doesn't dare to participate in this kind of gambling where the initiative is completely in the hands of others. Entering into an intimate relationship is too risky."
"But don't you feel lonely?"
Freya wrote the last period, put the homework back into her schoolbag, and turned to look at Ash.
“It’s the same for everyone,” she said.
Then she reached out and picked up Xiaoxian, rubbing her face affectionately. Xiaoxian, on the other hand, pushed her away with her paws in disgust, "Besides, I still have Xiaoxian, how can I be lonely?"
Facing the pure and happy eyes of the Veela, Ash suddenly realized that the ogre mayor Finanxie had not yet touched the core of the Blood Moon Kingdom.
Because he is also an orphan, he has no relatives, and he doesn't know how to love.
Just as Freya is unaware of the sour smell of her clothes, most people living in the Blood Moon Kingdom are unaware that they have lost the ability to love.
How can someone who has never seen the sun know its warmth? How can someone who has never felt the care of his family believe in selfless love
Perhaps they believe that there is selfless love in this world, and they yearn for such love, but they are more convinced that such love will not come to them.
Just as Financière believes that the Blood Moon Kingdom does not deserve a savior, they also believe that they do not deserve to embrace love.
The ogre thought that the blood moon was isolating everyone by sowing the seeds of suspicion and building a wall of discrimination. But in fact, the blood moon was extracting the seeds of love from everyone's heart through education, making everyone spontaneously resist entering into an intimate relationship. Discrimination and suspicion were just the stench of this loveless soil rotting and weathering.
Ash suddenly thought of Langna - was the reason why this werewolf was regarded as a traitor of Yueying because his sexual desire was too strong
Freya saw that Ash didn't speak for a long time, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
Ash came back to his senses and smiled, "No, I was just thinking about where I could make some money."
"If you are willing to show up, I suggest you work part-time as a clay potter. With your appearance, although you are not the most senior clay potter, you are also considered to be mid-to-low level, and there should be many customers who will choose you. How about I introduce you to a clay pottery? Even if you don't want to work there for a long time, you can still experience it. Many men with decent looks will work as clay potters for one night to judge their market positioning."
"Thank you, but my skills are very poor and I am not qualified to earn this money."
"Beginners are actually a good selling point. Many rich women like virgins. And if you want to practice your skills, I can accompany you..."
"Didn't you say you had class at 2pm? It's already 1:50pm."
Freya looked at the time and quickly picked up her schoolbag: "Oh no, oh no, I almost forgot the time, these dishes..."
"I'll wash it," Ash said, "Will you come back to eat with us tonight?"
here we go again.
Freya felt herself getting that strange emotion again.
It has nothing to do with lust or greed. It makes Freya both hate and like Ash. It makes Freya both want to stay away from and get close to Ash.
Is it the curse of the Four Pillars? Or is it the polluted aura unconsciously emitted by the evil saint
She thought so in her heart, but she replied: "Yeah."
"Any dishes you'd like to eat?"
"Red Flame Lala Fatty Fish Roe Rice Bowl, is that okay?"
"No problem." Ash waved his hand: "Be careful on the road."
The strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger. Freya nodded hurriedly, put down the small string, and left the house in a hurry.
Ash decisively turned off the store exploration video and clicked on "Killing Virtual Realm Creatures with Hands: Slaying Fish and Dragons". After watching the video, he put on his clothes and mask and summoned his stand-in.
"Wash the dishes, clean the house, and play with the cat if you have extra time. If you encounter any accidents, just remove the Stand. Do you understand?"
The Stand nodded.
Ash opened a worksheet called "4.29 School Class Schedule" in the Veil of Knowledge. This is a file that can only be downloaded through the inner curtain of Kaimon University, but Freya happens to be a student of the university.
He didn't just randomly find a family to stay with; he came well prepared.
His eyes stopped at a line in the timetable.
"16:00~18:00, "Ancient Ritual Faction", Shillin Carr, Classroom 108."
After confirming the target, Ash was ready to go out, but he saw Xiaoxian sitting on the floor like a fat otaku, looking listless and listless.
Ash's heart moved, and he activated the sympathy spell on Xiaoxian, and immediately received waves of pain in response.
Although it was in pain and uncomfortable, it did not feel unhappy about it. It was calm as if it was used to the pain. Looking at the sympathy spirit in Ash's hand, it tilted its head, seeming a little curious.
"Congenital rickets?" Ash gently stroked Xiaoxian's head. "They are screened from birth. Only the lucky ones who meet the aesthetic standards and have value can survive. Then they live in cages and are castrated and sterilized. After they are released from the cages, they are used as commodities to squeeze out their value..."
“Because I have been with pain since I was a child, I don’t think of it as misfortune, but rather as my natural fate; because everyone is like this, I don’t think of it as pain, and naturally I don’t have any worries.”
He reached out and scratched the Scottish Fold cat's chin, and Xiaoxian smiled contentedly.
“It’s really hard to be a spectator.”
