Chapter 610
Chapter 610
"Lin Yu!" The crisp shouts came from far away. Lin Yu looked up and saw March Seven running towards him like a happy little bird, with Xing following quietly behind her.
"We saw from a distance that you looked sad. What's the matter?" San Yue Qi blinked his big eyes and asked with concern.
Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then told him the whole conversation between him and Aglaya.
"What?!" San Yueqi's eyes widened instantly, and her voice unconsciously rose octaves, "You actually agreed to date her? Lin Yu, are you out of your mind?" As she said that, she put her hands on her hips and glared at Lin Yu angrily, looking like a kitten with its fur standing on end.
Xing Ze frowned slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes, "Lin Yu...you are indeed a bit too much...you just promised March 7..."
When Lin Yu heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He then remembered that he had made a solemn promise to San Yueqi not long ago.
...
After leaving the vortex of creation, Aglaya came to this side.
"Aya, will this expedition go smoothly?"
"Do not hesitate, my master. You are the one who interprets the oracle for the Golden Race. Your hesitation in words and actions will shake everyone."
"I know, I know, but right now it's just you and us!"
"But...do we have to go to this extent just to fight against Nicardoli?"
Aglaya knew what Tibao was talking about.
"I'm sorry, the situation at that time... made me do this subconsciously."
"But it doesn't matter. You and I will leave this stage one day, and the fate of Omphalos will be handed over to others. That's the future you see, isn't it?"
"Hmm..." Tibao lowered his head and hummed softly.
"The oracle of salvation is unclear. It urges us to challenge the gods, but never tells us what the predicted "tomorrow" will look like."
"Right now, people are willing to believe in the oracle and unite around the Golden Race, but one day, if people's faith is shaken, everything will collapse."
"So, we must be prepared. It doesn't matter if you and I are wearing rags. We can just focus on weaving a battle suit for the Savior."
"Aya, have you noticed... you keep saying you don't believe in human selflessness, but you are about to become a living counterexample."
“Maybe it’s because the human part of me is leaving me.”
"Another dawn without end, how bright the day is, how long the night is."
"The Golden Line is exceptionally calm today. The sky, the earth, and the ocean all hold their breath. Are they mourning the inevitable death of a Titan..."
"I really want to take a bath..will you accompany me?"
"Let's go, Aya. It's been hundreds of years. When have we ever refused your invitation?"
...
The two walked slowly towards the bathing palace. Along the way, Tibao looked up at Aglaya from time to time, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Aglaya keenly noticed Tibao's strangeness and asked softly, "Tibao, you seem to have something else to say. Don't keep it in your heart. Say it out."
Tibao stopped, turned around, and looked at Aglaiya seriously, "Aya, are you really willing to retreat behind the scenes like this? You have paid so much and sacrificed so much for Omphalos, but now you have to hand it all over to others. I am worried that you will regret it."
"Tibao, I have never regretted my choice. The future of Omphalos cannot rely on just you and me. We are just passers-by in this long river of history. One day, there will be more suitable people to take over the responsibility of protection. I believe that they will do better than us."
"But have you ever thought about whether those so-called 'saviors' can really shoulder this responsibility? Do they have enough ability and courage to face the numerous difficulties and challenges ahead?"
"This is exactly what we need to verify. We need to create conditions for them, give them help and guidance, and let them grow through hardships. I believe that as long as they have faith in their hearts, they will be able to overcome everything."
Tibao sighed helplessly, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will support you."
The two continued walking forward and soon arrived at the Bathing Palace. Inside the Bathing Palace, there was a lot of steam and a faint floral scent.
Aglaya and Tibao slowly walked into the bathtub. The warm water instantly wrapped around their bodies, making them feel extremely relaxed and comfortable.
"Aya, where do you think we will go after this war is over?" Tibao asked softly.
Aglaya closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the tranquility of the moment, "I don't know, maybe we will find a quiet place to spend the rest of our lives."
"Or perhaps, we will continue to work for the peace and prosperity of Omphalos."
"But no matter what, as long as Omphalos can have a good tomorrow, I will be satisfied."
Tibao smiled and said, "Yes, as long as Omphalos is safe, everything we have done will be worth it."
"But Aya, are you interested in that Lin Yu?"
Agle paused, a hint of surprise flashed across her originally calm face, she turned her head to look at Tibao with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Why do you suddenly ask this?
"I overheard your conversation by accident. The conversation between you and him at the center of the Creation Vortex had a different meaning."
"You misunderstood. I don't have that kind of intention towards him."
Tibao crossed his arms, still with a half-smile on his face, obviously not completely convinced by Aglaya's explanation, "Oh? Is that all? It sounds to me like it's not that simple. You asked him to try to make you have feelings for him. That's not something you would say."
Aglaya frowned slightly, with a hint of seriousness in her tone, "It's good that you and I know about this matter, and we must not spread it. Our top priority right now is to deal with Nicardoli, and we can't let these insignificant things distract everyone's attention."
"Don't worry, I'm not a big mouth, but I still think Lin Yu is quite interesting. He seems to have a special charm that makes people want to get close to him."
"He is indeed a little different. His way of thinking and his style of doing things are different from those we have met before. Perhaps he can really bring us unexpected surprises."
Tibao's mouth curled up, and his smile became brighter. "Maybe you saw this in him, and that's why you have such feelings for him."
"Look, you usually keep your distance from everyone, but when you communicate with him, your attitude is obviously different, with a little more patience and concern."
Aglaya was slightly startled. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, with a hint of honesty in her voice, "Maybe so. I may have hidden this emotion in my heart. In the process of contacting him, I can feel his unique temperament, which attracts me inadvertently, but I really don't have the kind of feelings between men and women for him now.
Tibao's smile remained the same, "Sometimes it's hard to explain things like feelings. You never know when you'll find yourself trapped in it.
Aglaya shook her head gently. "Tibao, I am very clear about my responsibilities and mission. Omphalos is facing an unprecedented crisis now. I will pay attention to and value everyone who may be a helper, and Lin Yu is no exception."
"I just hope to draw on his strength to lead us out of this difficult situation and protect our home. As for feelings, I can only put them aside for the time being."
"I understand, Aya. Everything you did was for Omphalos, I never doubted that."
"I know, Tibao, thank you for your understanding and support."
Tibao nodded vigorously, "Of course! If we fight together, we will definitely be able to defeat Nicardoli."
“As for Lin Yu and the others, let’s wait and see. I hope they can become the savior of Omphalos as we wish!”
As Tibao spoke, she dangled her feet in the pool leisurely. Her white feet were faintly visible in the clear water, splashing tiny ripples.
Aglaya nodded slightly, and his eyes unconsciously fell on Tibao's shaking feet, but his thoughts were still lingering on Lin Yu and others.
"Yes, they carry the hope for the future of Omphalos. Although the current situation is still grim, I can feel a different kind of power from Lin Yu, a possibility that may turn the tide."
Tibao retracted his feet and wiped them gently with a towel, with a thoughtful look on his face, "However, Aya, even though Lin Yu and the others have extraordinary potential, the road ahead is full of thorns, and Nicardoli's power should not be underestimated."
"Because of this, we must be fully prepared and provide them with the necessary guidance and support as they grow. We cannot let the light of hope of Omphalos be swallowed by darkness in its infancy."
Tibao nodded, stood up and stretched, "That's right, we have protected Omphalos for many years, and we must not fail at this critical moment."
Aglaya also stood up. In the mist, she picked up a towel and gently wiped her body.
At this time, Tibao was beside her and helped her tidy up her clothes.
"Aya, have you grown bigger again?" Tibao blinked his big watery eyes and looked at Aglaya with a bit of curiosity.
Aglaya was slightly stunned, then realized what Tibao was referring to, "Tibao, it's already this time, and you still have the mind to make such a joke."
Tibao refused to give in and said with a smile, "Oh, I just want to lighten the atmosphere. You see, we are overwhelmed by all kinds of troubles every day. Occasionally, we can feel better by joking around." As she spoke, she deliberately looked Aglaya up and down, with a serious look on her face.
Aglaya turned her head away slightly, a faint blush on her cheeks, and pursed her lips without saying a word.
Her slightly trembling eyelashes and unnatural expression made Tibao more certain that his teasing had worked.
Tibao smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that Aglaya, who was usually aloof and serious, looked quite cute at this moment.
Seeing that Aglaya didn't say anything, he couldn't guess whether she was shy or blaming himself in her heart.
Tibao blinked, her eyes rolled, and then she smiled and softened her tone, "Okay, okay, I'll help you put your clothes in order, and I won't say anything." After that, she began to put Aglaya's clothes in order seriously.
Aglaya stood there quietly, watching Tibao tidy up her clothes.
Tibao lowered his eyes, concentrating on fiddling with the corner of his clothes, occasionally reaching out to smooth out the wrinkles.
The corners of Aglaya's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and a warm current surged in her heart.
She was grateful to Tibao for always being able to bring her a moment of joy in such a relaxing way during these stressful and depressing days.
