Death… And Me

Chapter 1429 - Rafatia\'s Point Of View

Rean and Roan also didn\'t consider using 10000 Destiny Points to simply let them enter the Dimensional Realm either. First, how long would it take to gather that many points? Also, it would be too expensive. As much as Rean wanted to help the two, he couldn\'t go that far as Destiny Points were too important to the twins\' main objective.

"I... think I won\'t go," Falangia said as she squeezed Rafatia\'s hand. In the end, she had to admit the risk was too high. However...

"If mommy won\'t go, then I will!" said the little girl with an angry expression. "I want to stay with the two big brothers and the great Kentucky."

Falangia shook her head, though. "It\'s too risky. We could die there."

Surprisingly, Rafatia\'s answer took even the twins by surprise. That\'s because it was very \'adult-like\' even though she was that young. "Die? What\'s the difference then, mommy? Wasn\'t our life in Dry Sky City the same? Every time mommy went out, you always warned me that you might not come back because of the dangers. That time when that bad man invaded our house and did that... thing... with me, he could have killed me right after. Our lives had always been dangerous to start with, so why should we care about whether we die or not?"

After she was done talking, Rean, Roan, and Falangia looked at Rafatia with expressions of surprise and wonder. Even Roan had to admit the little girl had a point. "Well, she isn\'t wrong."

Rean looked at Roan after that. "I thought you would be the first one to not want them to come with us."

Roan didn\'t deny that. "Indeed. However, I\'m not the type of person that would ignore a good argument. She might not be talented in cultivation, but she\'s definitely very intelligent. After what she said, I won\'t intervene in their decisions anymore."

Rean shrugged his shoulders in response. "Well, I\'ll do what I can, that\'s all. It\'s all up to Falangia at this point."

Falangia was still shocked at how mature Rafatia\'s words were a moment ago. She even brought up the event where she was raped even though she obviously didn\'t want to remember it anymore. She then got down to Rafatia\'s level and patted her head. "Our harsh life still has its good points, it seems."

Rafatia was confused this time. "What does that mean?"

Falangia smiled and didn\'t explain. She only berated herself for not noticing something so obvious before. She had to have her daughter put it out on the table for her to realize it. "Rean, Roan, even in the center of Treavin Continent, life won\'t be much easier. You guys already confirmed that when you checked Valantior with your Divine Senses. With that being said, Rafatia or I might die due to some shitty reason in the future if we stay here. And so, I\'ll follow my daughter\'s wishes. I want to risk passing through the Under Desert Sea."

Roan kept his eyes closed and just nodded after that. Well, Luan was also very weak, so they already had to consider their companions\' level when passing through the Under Desert Sea anyway.

On the other hand, Rean went close to Rafatia and patted the girl\'s head. "Rafatia is already a very mature lady. I\'m sure your future will be very bright since big brother Rean will definitely protect you."

Rafatia\'s cheeks got a little red after that. "T-Then... will big brother Rean stay with me?"

Rean nodded, not understanding Rafatia\'s real meaning with that question. "Of course! I like Rafatia very much, after all."

Rafatia\'s eyes lit up in response as a bright smile appeared on her face. "Then... it\'s a promise!"

"It\'s a promise!" Rean nodded in agreement.

Rafatia then seemed to forget that Rean was there as she looked at Falangia. "See? I got Rean! You were too late! However, I don\'t mind sharing him with you, mommy."

Those words only made Rean confused, though. "Got me? Sharing?"

Falangia felt like dying there and then.

*Pah!*

*Ouch!*

Falangia lightly knocked Rafatia\'s head, just to make her feel a bit of pain. "W-w-w-w-what the hell are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense. There\'s no need to share anything."

Rafatia rubbed her head with a wronged expression. "So you really want him only for yourself! I won\'t let you!"

Falangia grew even redder after that. "That\'s not what I meant!" She then looked at Rean in a hurry and apologized. "Forget what this kid is talking about. She\'s only doing it to embarrass me."

Rean didn\'t seem to mind, though. "Hahaha! It\'s okay. Kids are usually very selfish, after all. Don\'t worry, Rafatia. You can share me with your mommy." He then hugged both Rafatia and Falangia, which made Falangia\'s heart almost leap out of her mouth. Sure enough, Rean completely missed the point in that conversation. He thought it was some kid\'s nonsense and just tried to appease Rafatia by doing that. In the end, both Rafatia and Falangia still looked no more than kids in his eyes.

Roan didn\'t seem to have the patience for that, though. Well, he also saw Falangia as nothing more than a slightly bigger kid due to her age.. "Can you leave your jokes for another time? Rean, there\'s still the matter of the Molten Divine Rock Flower to talk about."
