Xion gaped at the painting that covered nearly one-third of the wall.
It wasn’t the ornate frame, inlaid with glimmering gold and precious jewels, that forced his heart to give a silent thump against his chest.
No, it was the simple room of an inn painted on the expensive sheet.
As if spellbound by an urge to take a closer look, he shuffled closer until his nose could smell the faint scent of paint still lingering on its surface.
He had never thought that one day he would feel such intense emotions from the picture. A scene he couldn’t even properly see.
The inn was familiar, so were the two sleeping figures on the small bed, huddled in the corner.
A single duvet was wrapped around the two teenagers, but the corner of the fabric had slipped down from the bed, nearly touching the ground.
From the way he had been holding Rael in his arms, it must be him who tossed and ended up tossing the blanket down.
Rael, on the other hand, looked so docile as he lay there. The boy looked utterly peaceful.
From his hazy vision, he couldn’t decide where he should look. At his own mess of black hair that seemed to blend into the darkness, or at the long silver strands of hair surrounding him like moonlight.
[Host, I have a vision-clearing charm. Do you want it?]
’Huh?’
Xion, engrossed in the painting, nearly missed the system’s implication.
’You have what? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?!’
If the charm could fix his blurry vision, then he was more than willing to pay the price.
However, the system that would have been very enthusiastic about selling the products was strangely silent before speaking again.
[I just got it from another system. But it costs 1 million points and it can only be used for half an hour. Then the charm will vanish.]
The system had been diligently studying human behavior patterns. From the reports, it wasn’t hard to see that humans were more vulnerable during the period of loss.
They were also more violent toward such short-term help, which couldn’t alleviate the real problem at all.
If this could force Xion into the spiral of depression just like Xion had been suffering in his earlier times, that would not be ideal.
So, it had hesitated for almost a day after getting a new product.
Nonetheless, looking at Xion squinting his eyes to get a clear view of the scene depicted with colors, the system finally voiced it all out. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Unlike what it assumed, Xion didn’t feel sad. Rather, his eyes brightened at the notion of seeing clearly again.
So what if it was only for half an hour? He was rich, and he was allowed to squander his wealth as he pleased.
And if he somehow ended up needing more, he might really sell Darius’ things to the system.
’Okay, let’s buy that.’
A white flash covered Xion from head to toe. The spiritual energy not only made his vision as clear as a high-definition camera, but it also made his insides feel lighter.
It was as if he were stepping on clouds.
’It feels like I am being swallowed by a marshmallow.’
[We also have high-quality marshmallows. Do you want to buy some? Only 10 merit points~]
"With big glowing wings, they chase away fear,
Sleep safe and sound, for the angel is near."
