Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

"Mother! Father! Brother... I'm here!"

Chiyou's anxious voice echoed across the scene, making the frightened trio feel tempted to open their eyes for even a split second.

But it was just that the amount of fear that overwhelmed them was too great to bear.

And at this moment, their entire body and eyelids felt a hundred times heavier instead.

Should they open their eyes? No! What if it was a trap? What if those things were only playing tricks with them?

They felt like they would immediately go into cardiac arrest if they opened their eyes only to come face to face with their doom.

But before they could even think more about what to do, they suddenly felt a hand touch their shoulders and embrace them warmly.

Of course, their first impulse was to push the hand away and kick with their might in horror.

"No! No! No! Get away from us, you Monster."

"Mom, Dad, brother... It's me... It's me; I came back with the Grandmaster!"

Uh?

The trio quickly opened their eyes and was shocked, relieved and pleased to see Chiyou beside them.

"Chi... Chiyou, is it really you?"

Chiyou nodded slowly, with tears in her eyes.

And at this moment, the gang of 4 all hugged each other and shed tears of joy at their survival.

"Daughter!"

"Sister!"

"Parents! Brother!"

"We thought we would never see you again!.. It's good. It's good that you're safe and sound."

~Woooooo~~~

All 4 cried their eyes out, with even her father shedding tears from the catastrophe they had just escaped.

.

Chiyou's father felt his entire body quiver uncontrollably whenever he thought of his entire family almost becoming extinct.

They were his family! His treasures! His previous gems, and the ones he could die for.

So to see them all so helpless with him having no way to protect them, all he could do right now was cry like a child at how fortunate they were.

Looking up at Dorian and Butler Sheng, he quickly wiped his tears away and let down on his knees with his head touching the floor.

"Thank You, kind Grandmaster and sir, for coming over and saving my lowly family! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!"

Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam. Bam~

He kept thanking Dorian continuously while slamming his head onto the creaky floor as hard as he could.

And his wife, son and Chiyou, also followed suit to do the same actions too.

They thanked him while crying and letting out all their frustrations to the world

The system looked at the pitiful family, be for glancing at its host in an aggrieved manner.

[Host. Why don't you make them stop? I thought you didn't like these sorts of things?]

'Are you human?'

[No host.]

'Then you wouldn't understand.'

[Then why don't you explain it to me, host?]

'Because you're too stupid to understand.'

[...]

Once again, the system felt like committing suicide because of its host

What evil did it do as a system to be stuck with such a host?

And how can its host think that it was stupid?

This daddy here was one of the genius systems around, okay?

The system crouched down and pitifully drew letters on the floor of its space in an aggrieved manner.

It had no tears but only wanted to cry.

(:+0+:)

Its host was a big Meanie!

.

Dorian was too lazy to get bothered with the system.

Yeah. It was true that he didn't like such things and was very uncomfortable having people kneeling and kowtowing all the time.

But, he could also read a room too.

These people had been suffering for weeks and weeks.

And today, they had met with such a disastrous turn of events that not only shook them to the core, but also showed just how fleeting their mortal lives were.

Yes. They were helpless, scared, panicked, worried and pent-up with all sorts of emotions in them.

So after all they had been through, they could finally let out all their grievances, air their chests and emotions out, which in a way was therapeutic too.

Holding it all in with no one to talk to but themselves, can be very choking.

And so, the moment they saw Dorian and Butler Sheng, they not only thanked them but began relaying how much suffering they had undergone during this period.

Of course, Dorian wouldn't let them ramble on and on for so long.

He genuinely couldn't handle so much of their actions.

So he secretly gave them a time limit of 2 minutes.

Two minutes was what he gave for them to cry and get things off their chest.

It might not seem like a long time, but it would be enough for them to gather themselves a bit.

And as time went by, one could visually see them picking themselves up too, compared to the moment they first fell to the ground.

Dorian had long begun his countdown.

And in a blink of an eye, their 2 minutes were up.

.

"Get up. I only did what I had to... And, when it comes to me, there is no need to do this sort of thing again."

Woosh!

In a flash, the family of 4 all stood up gratefully, with no one feeling aggrieved for kneeling or kowtowing in any way.

To them, they would've liked to continue doing so in hopes of expressing their gratitude. Unfortunately, it looked like the Grandmaster might be uncomfortable from it all.

So they secretly took more and promised not to do so again.

Of course, they were also impressed by the Grandmaster too.

If it were other people who had such skills, they would want people to bow and even kiss the floor they walked on.

But just look at the Grandmaster?

At such a young age, he was not only humble... but also very considerate and kind despite his wealth and skills.

Tsk! Such a person was so hard to find nowadays, and definitely deserved all their praises!
