A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 515 Fighting

The two sides exchanged blows, unleashing deadly attacks on each other. Instantly, swords flashed and energy flew everywhere. However, the two sides were evenly matched and their strengths were equal, so neither could gain the upper hand for the time being.

Both sides in the fight knew that it would take considerable effort to kill the other, since their strengths were roughly equal. The only way to deliver a fatal blow was to take advantage of the other's momentary lapse in concentration. However, this idea was somewhat extreme and unrealistic.

The two fought for several minutes, knowing that continuing like this would be pointless for both sides. Moreover, they were both wondering if the other had accomplices lurking in the shadows, and if so, the consequences could be dire. Therefore, almost simultaneously, they both deflected each other's attacks and stopped, though their eyes still burned with fury and their faces remained unyielding.

“Sipler,” Antoni said angrily, “We, the Holy Fire of the Sun, have no enmity with your Heavenly Fire Cross Church, yet you have stabbed us in the back. We will remember this grudge, and in the future, the Holy Fire of the Sun will make your Heavenly Fire Cross Church pay a heavy price.” With that, he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go.”

Sipler chuckled coldly and said, "How absurd! I haven't even avenged this slap yet, and you dare to turn around and bite me? That's just ridiculous!"

However, the thought of one of the Sun Holy Fire Hall's branches being wiped out brought him some relief. He sneered again and said, "Damn it, good riddance."

“Deputy Deacon Sipler,” a companion said, “the people of the Sunfire Church have dared to slander our Crossfire Church without any regard for the facts. This is intolerable. We shouldn’t have let them go just now.”

Sipler frowned and said, "I was worried that they had brought accomplices, which is why I didn't act rashly. We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's go back and report this to the priest so that he can make a decision."

When Chao Bufan woke up, it was already bright daylight. He looked down at the two beauties in his arms and met their tender gazes. A unique smile of happiness immediately appeared on the faces of all three of them.

“Extraordinary,” He Yifei asked softly, “didn’t you say you were going to find God’s treasure today?”

“Yes,” Chao Bufan replied, “What’s wrong?”

“We want to go too,” He Yifei said softly again.

Chao Bufan smiled and said, "Then let's go!"

"Really?" the two women exclaimed with delight.

Chao Bufan grunted in agreement and said, "I was planning to take you with me anyway, so you could see what this so-called God's Treasure is all about."

"kindness."

The two women simultaneously murmured "Mmm," then got up and dressed. Chao Bufan then began to admire the graceful figures of his two wives, seemingly never tiring of the sight.

"Bufan, haven't you seen enough yet?" Lin Xiaomin said playfully as she dressed. "Get up, let's go now."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan smiled slightly, then sat up and said, "I'm not in a hurry, why are you all in such a hurry?"

Lin Xiaomin said, "How can I not be anxious? We've been out for so long, I'm starting to miss Sister Baihe and the others. Bufan, don't tell us you don't miss them!"

Xiao Min's words struck a nerve, leaving Chao Bufan speechless. He gave a bitter smile and said, "It would be a lie to say I don't miss them. I miss them even more than you do. I'm going crazy with longing."

“Of course, at least you can taste something new every day,” He Yifei suddenly replied.

He Yifei's seemingly unintentional joke resonated deeply with Chao Bufan, stirring a profound sense of guilt within him. Throughout history, countless kings and generals have risen and fallen, especially the emperors revered by all. Which of them didn't have their so-called three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines? Yet, how many did they truly care about? How many women, favored by an emperor for a fleeting moment, then suffered the ravages of time, the loneliness of the cold palace, and ultimately died alone?

He suddenly remembered a poem: "Silver candles cast a cold light on the painted screen in the autumn, a light silk fan flutters, chasing fireflies. The night sky is as cool as water, I sit and watch the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl stars."

What kind of desolation is this? What kind of loneliness is this?

Yes, I can try new things every day, and I openly say I treat everyone equally, but I've ignored their feelings. No one is omnipotent; everyone has selfish moments. What I can truly give them is far less than what they want because I can't guarantee that I can treat everyone equally. Therefore, I can't be selfish; I must treat each of them kindly and stay by their side for life.

"Bufan, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and get dressed." Xiaomin, who was already dressed, urged him when she saw Chao Bufan sitting on the bed in a daze. He Yifei handed him his clothes and asked in confusion, "Bufan, what's wrong with you? Why are you spacing out all of a sudden?"

Chao Bufan smiled slightly, and then said while putting on his clothes, "Yifei, Xiaomin, from today onwards, I will never let you out of my sight again."

Upon hearing this, the two girls were both taken aback, but secretly delighted. Then, Xiaomin joked, "So, according to you, if we sisters go to the toilet, you'll have to come along too?"

"Uh!" Chao Bufan exclaimed in surprise, then laughed and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

As he spoke, Chao Bufan got off the bed, put his arms around Yifei and Xiaomin, and said, "Yifei, Xiaomin, I'm serious. From now on, I will never let either of you out of my sight again. From now on, wherever I am, you will be there too."

Upon hearing this, a uniquely happy smile immediately appeared on the faces of the two women—

“Bufan,” He Yifei said softly, “Actually, we don’t have many demands. We just hope to be with you every day. Also, you must never be hurt. You are the backbone of our group of sisters. If anything happens to you, then we—”

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan felt a pang of pain in his heart and quickly hugged the two of them tightly, saying, "Don't worry, I will be fine no matter what, because I want to keep my promise to each of you."

The two women simultaneously murmured "Mmm."

"Alright," Chao Bufan smiled slightly, "Let's go brush our teeth and wash our faces!"

After washing up, the three of them went downstairs for breakfast and then went to the headquarters of the Orthodox Church.

Father Frodo had been waiting outside the church for a long time, and when he saw Chao Bufan, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Father, is everything ready?" Chao Bufan asked.
