Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 237

Arthur and Swain talked about a few more things while the girl waited at the side, listening to them and trying to figure something out but it was useless since they were speaking in a general way, saying no names or anything that she can take a hint from .

It wasn’t until Swain mentioned a certain name that her interest was lit up .

"Master, if Miss Lucy sees you with a girl, she’ll be angry . "

Lucy is known for excessive jealousy, if Arthur talks to another woman then she’ll immediately become jealous . He’ll not only be ditched, she would also treat that woman with hate, as if she will kill her just for talking to her husband .

So what Swain said was totally true, if Lucy saw him with another woman, it’ll be his funeral followed right after by Jian Si’s .

Cold Sword was stubborn, so was Lucy, if the two met and with Lucy’s provocative attitude toward other women around her husband, a fight would surely break out .

Just thinking about it made Arthur sweat, still, he would prefer Lucy being her and getting angry over her being absent and not being able to talk to her .

"Hahaha I bet she will, but do not worry, she’s just my student . "

Although he was still not content with Jian Si’s presence, Swain nodded and nervously said

"Master, please don’t involve me when that happens, a man doesn’t want to suffer from Miss Lucy’s wrath . "

Lucy never met him, but they’ll surely meet and knowing that he’s Arthur servant and he let this happen, he’ll suffer from her scolding some way or another .

In fact, Swain was happy that he wasn’t a female lest Lucy kills him, she wouldn’t let another female residing with Arthur all day long, protecting him and talking to him more than her .

Although Lucy is overprotective and easily gets jealous, Arthur loved that side of her since she becomes pretty cute when she’s pouting and angry, but that only applies to him, for other people, they would only see her as a cold-blooded woman with an indifferent attitude and an expressionless face .

On the side, Jian Si held back her urge to ask about Lucy as she knows she won’t be answered, but she had some speculations from their previous talk .

Arthur reminisced about Lucy for a short time before he looked at Jian Si and shook his head as if denying something .

Although they were a bit similar, he felt no attraction whatsoever to this girl or any other women, excluding Lucy, of course .

Jian Si was a beauty but her murderous aura made everybody else see her as a slaughtering monster, not as a beautiful girl .

Arthur could see the girl’s beauty, that didn’t change his opinion about her . They say appearance doesn’t matter but that not entirely true, for most people, at least .

To say that he wasn’t attracted to Lucy’s beauty would be a big lie, but the reason he fell for her isn’t her exterior appearance but what’s inside, the pain she felt, the suffering she endured and the connected fates they had .

She was a person who experienced tragedies like him, someone who could understand his thoughts more than any person in this world, he really could not think of a life without her .

"You want me to teach you, right?"

Arthur’s words excited Jian Si, who was eagerly waiting for him to teach her his style, maybe she could learn a thing or two or even gain an enlightenment . His style wasn’t entirely like hers but it was similar, in more than a way, so it’s beneficial for her if she experiences it in a closer look .

The girl nodded her head in confirmation so Arthur resumed

"It’s easy, you just have to injure him . One time is enough . "

He pointed at the quiet Swain, who stood near the door, guarding with his eyes closed .

Confused at first, the girl looked at the short youth with a frown then she retorted

"How does fighting him will help me? I can kill him in a few moves . "

Arthur grinned and replied:

"Hohoho, kill him in a few moves . Did you hear that, Swain?"

"A may says, nothing is more dangerous in this world than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity . "

There was nothing to be said about this remark, Swain doesn’t even take Jian Si seriously . She may be strong for someone her age and amongst all the talented juniors, however, she pales in comparison to him .

He originates from the Book of the Damned, not only that, he’s the fusion of the golem and the book, his strength is unfathomable and if he were to go all-out, he would be able to defeat Peak Gods .

"Hmpf! A kid dares to act arrogantly before me! It’s a waste of time to fight you . "

Still calm and unaffected by being called a kid, Swain didn’t bother retorting, he merely smiled and remained silent .

Seeing that Jian Si was getting heated up, Arthur said

"I didn’t force you to come here . This is just a test, I can’t make anyone my student, if you can’t even pass this test, then don’t bother coming back here . Actions speak louder than words, you say you can kill him in a few moves, if so, then go ahead and do so . "

Jian Si resolutely held her sword, ready to attack only to be stopped by Arthur, who reprimanded her

"Are you crazy? This is a room and not arena, go find somewhere else to fight, I need to rest . "

Cold Sword bit her lips, she couldn’t even count how many times she had been insulted today, it’s definitely a first for a person like her .

Swain held the opened the door and waited for her leave first . The girl snorted and left with her longsword in hand, as for the youth, he bowed at Arthur and left .

When the room became empty, Arthur laid on the large bed and closed his eyes, not even entering meditation . He had a strong urge to sleep, the mental exhaustion weighed on his mind and his numb limbs made his movements rather sluggish .

With Lucy’s picture in his mind, and the sound of his daughter’s laugh, he entered a deep sleep .

...

Swain and Jian Si soon found a large courtyard inside the Kang Castle . The guards were already informed about the new guests so they didn’t bother them, only standing guard and doing their job .

With some distance separating the two parties, they stood opposed to each other . Jian Si held the longsword, ready to swing at the youth, as for Swain, he neither took a weapon nor did he even open his eyes, clearly not taking this fight seriously .

"A man doesn’t have all day, thou may begin . "

He raised his hand, indicating for her to attack, which she did right away . With a thick murderous aura and an overwhelming momentum, she leaped at him similar to a tiger hunting its helpless prey .

The black sword came diving down at the youth from above, who in response only raised his right hand to meet the incoming attack .

A red aura enveloped the sword, adding to its bloodthirst and increasing its power, however, this attack which can eradicate a Divine Being was easily stopped by Swain’s hand .

The bare hand collided with the sword, absorbing the Energy and force behind it, rendering it weak . He then waved his right hand, pushing the sword and its user away from him .

"Thou said a few moves? A few moves it shall be, then . "

The youth suddenly appeared in front of Jian Si, who was still trying to stabilize her body due to being pushed by the opponent’s hand .

The right hand, which had absorbed the previous attack’s energy, had transformed into an old rotten hand that emitted thick blood aura and a dangerous Death Energy . The palm hit the girl, sending her flying until she crashed into a far away wall, surprising the spectating guards .
