The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing-Chapter 279 - 206: The Love Mind Battles of Geniuses (Two in One)

2 p.m., Crow Alley.

The low hum of the wind whistled through the streets, rattling the dilapidated doors and windows of the homes, sunlight unable to penetrate Crow Alley.

Only the icy wind and the shadows of dark clouds perpetually enshrouded this rundown alley, imparting an ominous sense of a storm impending.

"Bishop Merlin actually holds true affection for you, it’s only because society will not accept it that he deliberately keeps his distance!"

Bishop Rada, upon hearing such fervent assertions from the two, couldn’t help but feel a shock to his heart, "Are your words truly so?"

Presently bearing the appearance of a beautiful young girl, he slightly furrowed his brows, expressing doubt about the veracity of their words.

"Every word we speak is true." Lister and Arthur proclaimed sanctimoniously, they certainly hadn’t lied, their genuine desire was to help His Excellency Merlin and Bishop Rada, "It is top-secret news we personally uncovered from Heaven."

"No one else is privy to this information."

Having said that, the two couldn’t help straightening their chests with proud and self-satisfied smiles, eagerly taking credit, "Even Brother of the Stairs is clueless about this!"

Rada, observing the demeanor of the two, sensed they were not likely lying.

It wasn’t that Rada trusted them per se, but rather he felt that, given their cowardice, they wouldn’t dare deceive him.

Just to be safe, he utilized a secret Appraisal Skill passed down by the Painful Esoteric Sect, using spirit vision to analyze their souls. He noticed their emotional turmoil was calm, their heartbeats and pulses unchanged, which indicated their words were indeed truthful; they had surely entered Heaven.

Bishop Rada then began to ponder what the two had said, and upon careful reflection of Merlin’s actions that day, he too found them peculiar.

If Merlin didn’t harbor feelings for him, why would he go out of his way to distance himself?

Why engage in battle with him for an entire year,

If Merlin didn’t hold him in his heart, why not seek out other Demigods from the Esoteric Religion?

The more he thought, the more plausible it seemed.

Bishop Rada was hardly a prude; he had even researched such matters, and especially after binging several episodes of "Child of the Curse and The Maid’s Forbidden Love" in recent days, he had become a novice master of romance.

In academic terms, they classified Merlin’s type as "tsundere".

At that thought, Rada felt an itch at the top of his head, as if he might sprout a head full of hair; the tranquility he had cultivated, looking beyond the mortal world, suddenly became agitated, and the roots of trouble, which had been plucked clean, seemed to be growing back.

"But His Excellency Merlin currently has his reservations, so it’s best to first pose as a woman when associating with him, to avoid drawing attention," Lister suggested, "Once affections deepen over time, then it’s not too late to reveal the truth."

Bishop Rada felt a connection; Merlin was the key to restoring his lush, crimson hair.

At such a moment, he could no longer afford to maintain a bishop’s dignity.

Bishop Rada quickly inquired of Arthur and Lister, "Then what exactly should I do?"

After all, Yang Zi and Yue’er were veterans at being women; it was only fitting to seek advice from one’s seniors at such a time.

"Don’t take any weapons or gear, it’s better for a girl to be ladylike," Lister advised calmly, followed by Arthur who added, "It’s best not to wear any clothes; that way, it shows your sincerity and that you are serious about this date."

Um... Bishop Rada nodded, not quite understanding but feeling it made sense.

"You can wear the Swaddling of Bliss to cover your private parts, ah, it’s the most luxurious item in the imperial capital, used by noble girls," Lister even remembered to plug the product.

Bishop Rada was a celebrity within the Esoteric Religion,

and they planned to take dozens of photos later to promote him broadly, to let all Cultists know that the notorious murderer Rada also liked to wear diapers. With the celebrity effect, their orders would surge, and they could ruthlessly rake in the money, ultimately breaking into the untouched market of the Esoteric Religion.

In time, they would dominate all rivals.

Lister pushed up his glasses, a wicked smile curling at the edge of his mouth, everything under his control.

Bishop Rada, feeling Lister had a point since the product was expensive and expensive usually meant good, was content in his heart. Feeling these two had contributed, he generously assured Arthur and Lister, "If you two truly aid me, there shall be handsome rewards upon success!"

Lister and Arthur exchanged a knowing look, their smiles speaking volumes.

"Consider it done."

"Hmph, love is but a war!" Lister and Arthur snorted in unison, thumping their chests, "Just follow our lead, and victory is assured!"

They had been waiting for just such a declaration from Bishop Rada.

If they could successfully bring those two together, establishing such great merit, not only would they be richly rewarded by the Esoteric Religion, but upon hearing of their achievements, His Excellency Merlin’s promised reward the following day would undoubtedly be much more generous.

Merlin would find love, and so would Rada, everyone would win once, and they would triumph twice!

For the happiness of all humanity, Lister and Arthur were ready to fight to the end.

With the assistance of these two love geniuses, Rada was bound to conquer this battle of hearts and minds in love.

It was just a pity for Brother Su, who missed out on such a splendid task; surely, if An Su knew, he’d be green with regret. Arthur and Lister couldn’t help but reflect internally.

3 p.m., The Lavender Fields.

The afternoon breeze scattered the clouds on the horizon, the sun tinting patches of scattered fluff with hues of color, rendering the sky in layers of powdery pink, and the deep purple of the lavender fields rippled in the wind as well.
