The Yellow-Haired Villain in Soaring Phoenix’s Novels Also Desires Happiness - Chapter 267



45. One of the Reasons

Her cheeks flushed, Anna gazed dreamily at the man before her, the little anger in her mind having long since flown away, leaving only warm affection that filled her heart.

“Junior, you’re such a bad person.”

Anna playfully punched Mu En’s chest:

“What am I supposed to do with you like this?”

“Let’s just say I’m a bad person.”

Mu En chuckled, grabbing Anna’s soft hand and gently kneading it in his palm, then lifting the other hand holding a bouquet of flowers.

“So… can the best senior in the academy accept this bouquet of the most beautiful flowers in the academy now?”

“……Hmph.”

Anna shot Mu En a charming glance, taking the flowers and gently inhaling their fragrance.

“They smell so good.”

“Of course, I picked them with great care…”

“Filled with the scent of magical ripening, huh?”

“……Uh.”

“The one who ripened them is a female magician, and judging by the scent, she can’t be over twenty…”

“Why can you even tell that from the smell!”

Mu En wrapped his arms around Anna, gently pleading:

“Forgive me, senior, it’s winter, and this is the only way I could get you flowers. The ones in the academy’s plantation are all medicinal herbs, and if I picked them, the professors would scold me to death.”

“……”

Anna tilted her head and stared at Mu En for a long while, then suddenly broke into a smile, stroking Mu En’s hair, her eyes crescent-shaped:

“Alright, alright, I forgive you. You really like to act spoiled, don’t you?”

“Hmph… because you’re my senior.”

Mu En took the opportunity to rub against Anna’s bouncy chest, then lifted his head to change the subject:

“By the way, senior, what’s going on?”

“What?”

“Those…”

Mu En pointed to the back of the classroom.

At that moment, the back half of the classroom’s bookshelves had been cleared out, the ancient texts that were originally stored there now packed into boxes.

Those intricate instruments were also wrapped in cloth, tightly bound with ropes.

Mu En had actually noticed this as soon as he entered the classroom, but only now did he have the chance to ask.

“Senior… are you moving classrooms?”

“No.”

Anna shook her head:

“I’m just simply packing my things.”

“Packing? Why?”

“Because I’m dropping out.”

“Dropping out… dropping out?”

Mu En was taken aback for a moment, then a hint of sternness flashed in his eyes:

“Why? Why would you drop out when everything is fine? Is someone forcing you? Is it the Silent Agency? No, I’ll go find them right now; they are going too far, clearly you…”

“Alright, alright.”

Anna reached out her finger to press against Mu En’s lips, a hint of sweetness curving at the corners of her mouth:

“Don’t be so anxious, junior. Dropping out is my own decision; no one is forcing me.”

“Your own decision?”

Mu En was even more confused, “Why?”

“Because…”

Anna tossed her hair lightly and said softly:

“I want to join the Silent Agency.”

“Wh… what? Join the Silent Agency?”

Mu En’s eyes widened in shock, momentarily unable to accept this twist, his mind went blank.

“Why?”

Mu En said angrily, “They clearly persecuted you before!”

“But they were just following the rules, weren’t they?”

Anna reassured him:

“And their original intention, to some extent, was to protect me; they just didn’t expect those fanatics to be so crazy as to directly attack the branch of the Silent Agency.”

“But…”

“Alright, junior, there’s no need to be angry. Let me tell you a secret.”

Anna once again wrapped her arms around Mu En, leaning close to his ear and whispering:

“Do you remember the old man I took you to meet last time?”

“That… your adoptive father?”

“Yes, his true identity is… the Swordbearer of the Silent Agency.”

“Wh… the Swordbearer?”

From noble mtl dot com

Mu En was once again unable to accept this twist, his mind momentarily blank.

At that time, the old man did indeed display something extraordinary, but he had never imagined that he was the infamous Swordbearer!

What kind of place was the Silence Organization? It was a place where, aside from the Evil God and the Majesty, no one cared.

And that Swordbearer was even more…

“I only found out about this recently too.”

Anna tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and sighed:

“Before, I always thought he was just a somewhat cunning mysterious old man.”

“…”

Mu En’s mouth twitched violently.

What kind of refreshing story is this?

My adoptive father, who runs a grocery store, is actually a super impressive behind-the-scenes big shot?

The kind that can summon a hundred thousand Silent Ones to help boost his grocery store’s performance with just a command?

“And also, my joining the Silence Organization isn’t solely for that reason.”

“Not solely?”

“Mm, as I mentioned to you before…”

Anna smiled slightly, “But it’s more direct to show the junior.”

As she spoke, Anna suddenly pointed.

At the back of the classroom, beneath the already organized clutter, the shadow cast by the light from outside began to writhe.

It then transformed into a pitch-black pool, gradually swallowing all the clutter.

Soon, the entire back of the classroom was empty.

“What is this…”

Mu En swallowed hard.

“The partial power of the Silent Moon, probably because it didn’t have time to be taken from my body back then,” Anna said.

“This…”

Mu En recalled the time he desperately wanted to take the senior away with the Silent Moon and suddenly gained some clarity, then nervously looked at Anna, “Is that okay? After all, it’s the Evil God…”

“Don’t worry, the moon is already dead,” Anna said softly.

Mu En immediately felt enlightened.

Right, the moon is already dead.

The terror of the Evil God’s power is that once you become tainted by it, it’s very difficult to sever the connection with the Evil God.

But the Silent Moon is already dead, and its power has turned into something without a master.

There is no purer power in the world than this.

“So, are you going to join the Silent Agency?”

“Yeah, aside from the Judgment Temple of the Church, I doubt there’s a place that understands the evil gods better than the Silent Agency. There, I can learn how to fully master this power.”

Anna gently rubbed her cheek against Mu En’s and said:

“Didn’t I say? From now on, I’ll protect you, junior.”

“Senior…”

Anna’s tenderness made Mu En’s heart warm, and he couldn’t help but sink deeply into her broad chest.

“But that’s just one of the reasons.”

“Just one of the reasons?”

The senior joining the Silent Agency had considered so much?

Mu En blinked, curiously asking:

“What’s the other reason?”

“As for this last reason…”

Anna stared intently at Mu En, her expression somewhat meaningful.

But just as Mu En felt uncomfortable under that gaze, she suddenly smirked and playfully said:

“I won’t tell you, you bad person~”
