Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 913: Chapter 911 Helping Others is a Joy Chapter 913: Chapter 911 Helping Others is a Joy “You mean you want to come with me?”

Seraphina was stunned not only because Fu Qian was unexpectedly agreeable, but his subsequent request also made her vigilant.

“Of course, helping others is the joy of life.”

Fu Qian’s eyes were brimming with purity.

“Don’t worry, it’s absolutely free.”

“Mr. Fang, I appreciate your kind offer, but I don’t need help at the moment.”

Confirming Fu Qian was not joking, Seraphina’s first instinct was to refuse.

“No, no, no, you do need help.”

Unfortunately, the other party’s tone was even more resolute.

…

It took only two seconds for Seraphina to grasp the threatening undertone in Fu Qian’s words and fully recognize the situation at hand.

“Ancient Reminiscence has been in my possession for a very, very long time, but only now have I thought about exploring it. Do you know why?”

Seraphina took a deep breath and looked at Fu Qian very seriously.

“Let me think, it’s not a question you’ve just become concerned with recently… so the motivation must always have been there. You had the motivation but not the action because there were objective difficulties?”

Fu Qian stroked his chin and quickly reached a conclusion.

“What you want to do, even for a demigod, is still considered too risky to control?”

“I think I’m starting to understand why Yuan Shan values you so much.”

Seraphina sighed deeply and did not deny it.

“So even so, you still plan to come and join the excitement?”

“Thinking of it in such a twisted way is really disheartening.”

Fu Qian shook his head in lament.

“People will watch the excitement, and volunteers are serious about their work.”

“Besides, the Abyssal Chronicle is also here with me. How much more information do you think the Bloodline Clan needs to keep secret from me?”

Considering his relationship with Seraphina, Fu Qian never thought she was much concerned about his well-being.

If he were to be struck dead by lightning the moment he stepped outside, she would probably applaud with glee.

So her reluctance to accept his help was not out of compassion; it was obvious she didn’t want him to know too much about the Bloodline Clan’s secrets.

…

“Fine.”

After being persuaded with facts and reasoning, Seraphina was finally convinced.

“If possible, I hope we can start as soon as possible.”

“No problem.”

Fu Qian looked up at the sky outside.

“Let’s do it tonight. If I remember correctly, Ancient Reminiscence needs to be activated by moonlight.”

“Don’t you have anything else to do?”

This guy is too eager!

Seraphina appeared at a loss for words at the volunteer’s proactiveness.

“There is, but it’s not urgent.”

Fu Qian smiled, knowing he could visit Wen Li anytime. Opportunities to explore such secrets were rare.

“Just a moment, I’ll go get the item.”

…

Although in theory he could have directly smashed Valudo in front of Seraphina, Fu Qian still showed some respect for the demigod.

Having her wait a moment, Fu Qian went upstairs to remove his mask, entered the storage room, and quickly found the dull, clouded sphere on the table.

He had accepted this item previously just by going with the flow, mainly because the Demigod Seraphina had been overly enthusiastic and delivered it to his doorstep.

In hindsight, it seemed to have been quite worth it.

If it hadn’t been for the cataclysm this time, Selana might not have divulged any clues.

And now, the Red Moon, whom many of the Bloodline Clan regard as the Ancestor, is closely related to me.

Why did it become like that?

This information was of far greater value to Fu Qian than any extraordinary item.

Without delay, Fu Qian promptly put on the mask and returned to the bookstore.

Here you go!

Under Selana’s watchful gaze, Fu Qian descended from the second floor, casually tossing Ancient Reminiscence into her arms.

“Now you give this to me, are you not afraid that I’ll change my mind and just take it and leave?”

Her actions were so decisive that even Selana couldn’t help but inquire.

…

Fu Qian said nothing, and even looked over in surprise.

“What’s wrong?”

This somewhat eerie reaction made Selana shift her gaze away somewhat unnaturally after a few seconds.

“Is this your way of admitting that this thing is mine?”

It was then that Fu Qian shook his head and sighed.

…

Reminded by Fu Qian, Selana finally realized the problem in her words, and though she didn’t speak up for a while, her expression clearly showed embarrassment tinged with annoyance.

“I was just kidding. You’re not foolish. Under the current circumstances, where in Shangjing can you find another demigod with the time and willingness to help?”

Fu Qian waved his hands with a mischievous grin, signaling her to be patient.

“Faced with an exploration of uncertain success, which can effectively increase the success rate at the price of a slight increase in the risk of information exposure, even kindergarten kids would know how to choose.”

…

Fu Qian was undoubtedly very adept at helping people weigh their options, and a few casual remarks were enough to plunge Selana once more into silence.

Obviously, his words had hit a sore spot. Although it was a long-held obsession, she was genuinely not optimistic about the actions to come.

If there had been any certainty, why would she have waited until now?

Her subconscious refusal to agree with Fu Qian just now was clearly because she did not want this outsider to know too much.

But as the other party said, facing such a nature of exploration, a demigod helper who did not seek repayment, even within the family, would probably not be so easy to find.

“Alright, we shall start our action promptly in a while.”

Without further skepticism, Selana placed Ancient Reminiscence by the window, then stood guard there, quietly waiting for nightfall.

And in the corner of her eye, the mysterious consultant of the Night Watchman was already lounging in a chaise, leisurely flipping through a book.

…

“Is it time?”

Perhaps influenced by Selana, the moon tonight seemed unusually bright.

And as the light gradually intensified, shining on the Ancient Reminiscence for a while, Fu Qian heard Selana’s call.

Looking up, the Vampire Demigod appeared significantly more energetic than during the day, and even the speed of her injury recovery seemed markedly increased.

“Almost time.”

Selana didn’t say much, signaling Fu Qian to stand beside her.

Flowing with the tide, Fu Qian curiously observed the Ancient Reminiscence, which was about to be activated.

In just this short time, the item seemed to be undergoing a drastic transformation, becoming somewhat translucent after basking in the moonlight.

“Legend has it, this is the left eye of the first of the Bloodline Clan.”

Selana’s voice floated softly to his ears, revealing the origin of the object before them.

“And it’s called Ancient Reminiscence because it has reflected the Ancestor’s glory and has perpetually enshrined that scene within, even after death.”

It was actually an eyeball.

Listening to this ancient secret, Fu Qian nodded slightly.

And at that moment, as if responding to their conversation, the clear, transparent eyeball’s textures began to slowly flow and, in the next instance, converged into a pupil facing both Fu Qian and Selana.
