Chapter 808 - 15.27

"Un, I will do anything for Bai Gege…." Han Shun said.

"Good boy, Hehe…."

Bai Shijue and Han Shun spent the evening sitting side by side, with Han Shun leaning on Bai Gege's arm. He felt safe and warm. This was what he wanted, only this.

They arrived at the teashop late at night. Han Shun was already sleeping peacefully in Bai Shijue's arm. So Bai Shijue didn't plan to wake him up.

He carried Han Shun in his arm as he walked out of the carriage. The carriage vanished into thin air once Bai Shijue entered the teashop.

He passed the teashop and went to Han Shun's courtyard, the place where he slept before he was sent to the soldier barrack.

Bai Shijue carefully laid Han Shun on the bed, but before he could get up. He suddenly felt a strong pull that pulled him down to the bed. 

"Gege…" Han Shun mumbled in his sleep as he hugged Bai Gege's waist. 

Bai Shijue sighed and laid beside Han Shun, who hugged his waist tightly like a baby koala. 

He didn't want to wake up the young man, so he let Han Shun sleep like this for the whole night.

Pupa materialized in front of Yunyu and asked, "That kid… is very sticky with you. I think after we go to the immortal realm, we need to separate him from you, at least make him less dependent on you."

"Eh, what are you saying, Pupa? It's normal for Han Shun to get sticky with me after four years of separation."

"It's not even four years of separation. You've been watching him training in the barrack for almost every night."

"Hehe, I mean, I've only shown up in front of him once in a while."

"Anyway, I'm just giving you some advice. A young man like Han Shun needs to be separated and introduced to someone else, whether a man or woman in the immortal realm later on. So he will start having independent thoughts and leave you alone," Pupa said.

"Okay, that one, I agree, ah. I have no intention of romancing Han Shun in this world. I just want him to fulfill his destiny as the leader of an immortal sect, and possibly godhood as well." 

After cementing his goal with Pupa, Bai Yunyu got up from the bed in the middle of the night, leaving Han Shun alone to sleep.

**

Han Shun was dreaming right now, but it was a weird dream.

In his dream, he was thrown into a world that was foreign to him. The world didn't have any familiar buildings. Instead, there was a golden castle and a big, white building with a big crucifix on top.

He looked around confusedly and then saw a man with very pale skin walking in his direction.

He was tall, slender, and had long dark hair. His eyes were enchanting red, like a vampire that was ready to eat him.

Han Shun watched how the man walked past him with his servant, and for some reason, he had a familiar connection with this man. 

The man walked to the street filled with filth and many street kids who begged for money or food, similar to what Han Shun experienced before meeting Bai Gege.

The pale man smiled when a street kid approached him, asking for food, and he crouched to be on the same eye-level with the street kid and took an apple and bread from his sleeve like a magician.

"Thank you so much, Sir!"

The pale man patted the head of the street kid and said, "You should come to the orphanage that I run. There is plenty of food there, and you don't need to worry about shelter. You can live there until you're eighteen years old."

"R—Really?! I can go there?"

"Yes," the pale man looked at his servant that followed him from behind. "Take this kid to the orphanage. Assign him to study as well, at least until he can read and write. So he won't be completely illiterate."

"As you wish, Duke."

The servant grabbed the kid's hand and brought him to the carriage. The carriage went first, leaving the pale duke behind. The duke didn't seem to worry, though. Instead, he kept walking until he reached a house full of people with physical disabilities.

One was missing both legs, the other was missing both arms.

One was blind, and the other had a growth stunt. 

"Oh, the duke is here!"

"Duke! Please don't get too close to us. You will make yourself dirty!"

"Yes, please just throw the food on the ground. We will eat it!"

The pale duke smiled when he heard that. Of course, he wouldn't do such an inhuman act to another human being. 

He approached them and then started feeding them one by one with a spoon, one bowl of food for each person.

"Duke… you're so kind…."

"I'm just doing what I must do."

Han Shun watched how the pale duke didn't show any frown or disgust with the filth of those people. They seemed to be homeless—no, even worse, the forsaken that wasn't supposed to be touched by anyone. 

It reminded Han Shun of one particular person who would do the same whenever a beggar or street kid. But Han Shun was lucky that Bai Gege decided to take him in instead of another.

Because if Bai Gege thought about helping other street kids, then Han Shun wouldn't be in this current status now. He would probably die before he even reached the age of 10.

"Bai Gege…" Han Shun mumbled as he kept watching the pale duke feeding the homeless. The homeless hugged him tightly, like holding on to their last hope, and the pale duke still didn't show any frown or displeasure. He just laughed and continued feeding them.

"He is amazing, right? He is my beloved Duke Damien of Delcostro.. He is the man who shows me that a vampire can be good too, and a saint… can be evil."
