Chapter 60 - 『Home Is Where The Family Is』

Looking down, Xie Lian couldn't help but smile at the familiar face of the redhead after so many years. After all, he considered Cale as one of his children.

Despite the redhead having no memories prior to the years they spent together, then Xie Lian could simply bring it back.

Though, there is something about Cale he should direct his attention to.

"Do you know the reason why you're slowly becoming a God?" Xie Lian asks testingly, before standing up from his seat and walk closer to the latter.

Cale frowned for a while before answering, "Because I was stabbed to death?"

Xie Lian huffs disapprovingly, "Quite. But you're not even dead yet, so why is your hair turning black again?"

True to his words, Cale's red hair was slowly turning black, both to his mortal body and his spiritual one.

Cale was silent. Truly, he doesn't know why.

Is it perhaps because he's grieving for Xue Yang's loss? He couldn't even remember how he managed to place all his people's soul into another world.

If he knew, then he could've safely delivered Xue Yang's soul to Rowoon.

"Thinking of sending that child's soul to another world is not possible."

Cale frowned when Xie Lian had said that. He was about to talk back when the God had cut him off.

"Xue Yang doesn't want to rest in peace yet."

Xie Lian then smiles, and Cale couldn't help but think that his smile is that of a sly one.

"And why is that?" Cale asks, his confusion still there.

"Ask him that yourself when Wei Ying and San Lang brought his soul back. Think hard of my previous question first while we snack." The God says before siting down in front of the table, and Cale blinks profusely for a while and wondering when the hell did the table filled with snacks appeared.

Seeing as there is no better thing to do, he would just snack together with the peculiar deity. He wasn't the one to ignore free food after all.

The first food he set his eyes on was mantou, considering he doesn't have a choice since it was on the main serving.

So he grabbed one and took a bite before feeling something crack. His sanity? Maybe. His teeth? Absolutely.

Cale animatedly spits the blood that fell from his teeth, shuddering at the feeling of biting a rock-like texture.

He looked dumfoundedly at the God who eats the rockly mantou like it was a delicacy, that is if you ignore the loud crunching that is coming from Xie Lian.

For the sake of his crumbling sanity, Cale decides to hide the mantou (weapon of mass destruction) in his sleeve and simply picks up his chopsticks to eat dumplings with chili oil, acting like nothing possibly disastrous happened.

Thinking back to the God's first question, there is only one possible answer for that as he feel the hollow spot on his chest.

His golden core.

At the same time, the God before him hums, "You already knew the answer." He says, in a matter of fact tone before looking at the redhead solemnly.

At that time, Cale could simply nod.

His golden core melted when he was stabbed by Alver. Thinking back, Taerang may also have the same abilities like the core melting hand.

Cale unconsciously rubbed his chest, feeling the phantom pain from back then.
