Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 693: IUD-Chapter 690 Just Fellow Beings

Three days had passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Fang Li stayed in his room and slept continuously, as if he wanted to make up for all the nights he had stayed awake before.

Whether it was day or night, he remained asleep.

Thanks to Arcueid’s power, his body had fully recovered.

However, the aftereffects on his soul were not something that Arcueid’s power could cure.

As a result, Fang Li needed to rest and recover from his soul’s fatigue.

During this time, several people from the Tohno household visited him.

Even Tohno Shiki, who had apparently regained consciousness, came to see him once.

However, the group tacitly avoided mentioning anything about Arcueid, focusing instead on discussing the events that had transpired in Misaki Town.

Other than that, Fang Li remained in bed, sleeping soundly.

During this time, Fang Li also tried to control the power that Arcueid had left in him.

Unfortunately, the power did not obey him.

It simply resided in his body, much like a proud and independent forest king guarding his territory.

This was only natural.

After all, this was Arcueid’s entire power.

It seemed as if Arcueid had truly poured all of her power into Fang Li’s body.

Even the parts that hadn’t fully recovered before were now gradually healing inside Fang Li instead of returning to Arcueid’s own body.

Thus, once this power fully recovers to its peak, it will be a terrifying power, strong enough to destroy an entire continent, a power equivalent to the Second Rank.

If Fang Li could freely wield such power, would he have anything to fear in the future?

It’s important to note that within the Main God’s Dimension, Divine Envoys of the Second Rank are as rare as phoenix feathers, and those of the First Rank are practically legendary.

For Fang Li, a mere Fourth Rank Divine Envoy, to gain such power in one step would be nothing short of a dream.

Of course, Fang Li had no intention of using this power.

“This power ultimately belongs to Arcueid.”

Therefore, Fang Li knew that he would have to return this power to the princess one day.

Moreover, he would only do so when he was strong enough not to covet such power, and he would return it to Arcueid face to face.

This was something Fang Li had to do in the future.

However, before that could happen, Fang Li would have to find the Millennium Castle and figure out a way to return the power.

Until then, Arcueid could enjoy her sleep.

Three days later, Fang Li finally got out of his room.

He walked into the living room and found the Tohno family gathered there.

“What?”

Tohno Shiki shouted in surprise.

“You’re leaving?”

Not only Tohno Shiki, but also Tohno Akiha, Kohaku and Hisui looked at Fang Li in astonishment.

“Why?” Tohno Shiki asked quickly.

“Why did you suddenly decide this?”

Unlike the confused Tohno Shiki, Tohno Akiha, Kohaku and Hisui seemed to understand and they fell silent.

After all, on the first day that Fang Li arrived at this western style mansion and became the Tohno family’s butler, he had already said:

“One day, I will leave.”

Fang Li smiled slightly and shrugged his shoulders.

“Even though my time with the Tohno family hasn’t been long, it’s time for me to go.”

Indeed, it hadn’t been long.

In fact, it hadn’t even been a month.

“If we calculate by the month, I wouldn’t even be entitled to my salary, right?” Fang Li chuckled and said to everyone, “But since the time was short, at least it won’t feel like a tearful goodbye. We weren’t that close anyway, right?”

These words were a bit cold.

The length of time was not the main issue.

Fang Li should have realized this back at the Roswaal Mansion.

After all, during his time there, a kind-hearted half-spirit girl and a gentle Oni girl had formed a deep bond with him in just about a month.

But things were different here.

While his relationship with Arcueid might have been complex, his relationship with the Tohno family was much simpler – it was purely professional.

“So let’s part amicably.”

Fang Li clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention, and said with a smile.

“Thank you all for taking care of me during this time.”

Although Fang Li’s tone was casual, the sincerity in his words was obvious to everyone.

Because of this, Tohno Akiha finally spoke up.

“Are you sure you won’t reconsider?” Tohno Akiha’s tone was also sincere as she said, “To be honest, I don’t agree with you leaving like this.

The family could really use your help right now.

The recent riots in the city have been quite disturbing.

If you could help us, it would be a great help.

Although she said that, Tohno Akiha had another reason, didn’t she?

“Our Tohno family owes a debt to your Nanaya family.

If we just call it even now, it wouldn’t make much sense.” Tohno Akiha continued, “So I still hope you’ll stay.”

Hearing this, Fang Li smiled.

“Actually, you don’t owe me anything. A clan’s debt can’t be repaid by just one person.” Fang Li looked at Tohno Shiki before turning back to Tohno Akiha.

“If you really want to repay this debt, there’s someone else you can repay it to. It doesn’t have to be me.”

Tohno Akiha remained silent while Tohno Shiki looked puzzled.

After a moment, Tohno Akiha sighed in resignation.

“It seems you’ve made up your mind.”

“That’s right.” Fang Li replied frankly.

“So let’s look forward to seeing each other again in the future.”

“I see.” Tohno Akiha nodded and glanced at Fang Li before saying softly, “Take care then.”

“Fang Li San,” Kohaku also spoke.

“Please take care of yourself.”

“Safe travels,” Hisui added, speaking up rarely.

Finally, Tohno Shiki scratched his head and sighed as if giving up.

“After all, I still don’t understand what kind of person you are.”

Fang Li smirked at this.

His response was simple.

“We’re the same kind.”

“Just fellow beings, that’s all.”

And that was that.

With these words, Fang Li’s journey in this world came to an end.
