The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 269 - 201: Under the Leadership of An Su, the Church Flourishes (Parts Combined)

At 6 a.m., Heaven.

[Duration: 18 hours]

As the saying goes, "A monk strikes the bell for as many days as he’s in the monastery," and although An Su was only a temporary Holder of Heaven, he still had to attend to his duties. The work of the gatekeeping elder was fairly leisurely; apart from watching the gates, it was just a matter of dealing with visiting guests.

Having slept for three or four hours, An Su had replenished his energy and donned the formal long robe of the Cardinal, carefully smoothing out any slight creases around the collar in front of the mirror.

The man in the mirror, although his true face wasn’t visible and only the complex and splendid interweaving of light within his shell was seen, was tightly enrobed in a scarlet robe, giving an impression of mystery and stunning beauty.

Gods are faceless and formless, which fitted the Demigod’s temperament quite well.

Having a specific appearance would actually lower the swagger.

However, the main reason was that old Merlin had no skill in sculpting facial features.

[Arthur Sunny requests an audience]

An ethereal voice echoed in An Su’s ear.

With a slight frown, An Su hadn’t expected to attract his first guest so soon.

Arthur and Lister, due to their undercover roles in the Esoteric Religion, were permitted by Merlin to meet each other.

"Let him in," An Su said while going over the strongman quotes of a Demigod once more, to prevent any slip-ups. He wrapped the Cardinal’s robe tightly around him and found an excellent spot to watch the view, standing atop a staircase with countless steps, rivers revolving beneath his feet and stars transforming above his head.

An Su stood at the very peak of Heaven, his back ramrod straight, hands clasped behind him, assuming the powerful pose of turning his back to all beings, as the chill wind howled, so high it made one feel colder.

The so-called turning one’s back to all beings and looking into the distance from a high place is exactly like fishing in solitude through the ages.

Since Merlin had placed such trust in him, An Su would certainly not let Merlin lose face.

After adjusting several times to ensure his posture was correct, An Su lowered his voice and slowly said,

"Who dares disturb me?"

The deep voice reverberated between heaven and earth, ancient and unfathomable.

Arthur climbed the steps with great enthusiasm and observed An Su’s immovable, proud silhouette from afar, secretly astonished; he hurriedly paid his respects, saying, "I am Arthur Sunny."

Arthur failed to recognize that the person before him was An Su, since An Su had hair, and his entire body was not glowing.

After waiting a good while, he did not see His Excellency Merlin turn around.

Arthur grew curious.

He tilted his head left and right, but could never catch a glimpse of An Su’s front — when Arthur looked left, An Su would lean left; when Arthur looked right, An Su would lean right.

After several tugs back and forth, Arthur still couldn’t see An Su’s front.

This strongman pose was all about turning one’s back to all beings; if beings saw the front, it would diminish the swagger.

"The peerless strongman An Su," he thought to himself.

So it is...

Arthur also revealed an expression of sudden realization, marveling at the increasingly flamboyant realm of His Excellency Merlin. With his clever mind, he instantly thought of the answer: His Excellency Merlin was turning his back to him, probably because he was not wearing pants up front.

Clad in only a long robe and without pants, that’s why he had to face away.

The so-called turning one’s back to all beings and looking into the distance, like an eagle spreading its wings, is just like this.

Such acts, Arthur had done before as well, enjoying the radiant sense of having nothing below the waist — this unbound, forthright and straightforward feeling is indeed the essence of radiance.

Unfortunately, the contemporary Church’s way of thinking is too conservative, especially that of the Order Church, which insists that what he did was the ’indecent exposure crime endangering social order,’ and they even fined him several hundred Gold Coins.

Arthur decided to promote His Excellency Merlin when he returned so that others would know of the prestige His Excellency Merlin held today.

"Arthur," An Su maintained his powerful swagger, continuing to face away from all beings and spoke profoundly, "What business do you have with me?"

"Your Excellency Merlin, I have brought you a surprise!" Arthur promptly announced with a proud face, "You are about to have a Demigod girlfriend."

An Su fell silent and, after a while, he said, "Who introduced her?"

As a glorious knight, Arthur believed in the virtue of generosity, so he naturally would not hog such a monumental credit to himself. He promptly credited his two good brothers,

"It was Brother Su and Lister who introduced her to you!"

An Su’s back silhouette trembled slightly, nearly losing his Demigod swagger. He peeked at Arthur behind him with his soul and saw him smiling as radiantly as the rising sun.

"How despicably cunning this guy is," An Su thought to himself, using the same tactics as him.

"I believe that your merits are not insignificant," An Su said darkly.

"Not at all, it’s all thanks to Brother Su and Lister, especially Brother Su!" Arthur eagerly showed his spirit of humility, "This has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"Let me guess, is this Demigod well-endowed both front and back?" An Su asked.

"You are correct," Arthur admired him even more.

"And is she closely related to me?"

"How did you know?" Arthur showed a surprised expression. Could it be that His Excellency Merlin was the legendary lover?

"Is she bald?"

"You are simply divine." Arthur’s reverence for Merlin reached the point of complete prostration. Could it be Merlin could also foretell?

An Su smiled, his wicked plan taking shape in his mind.

"Is her name Lada Morris?"

His Excellency Merlin actually already knew!

Arthur trembled all over, his scalp tingling, realizing that if His Excellency Merlin knew the name Lada, then he must be aware that the supposed Demigod girlfriend was none other than the Bishop of Pain who had undergone a gender change.
