Chapter 77- Dead People Can't Talk

"Didn’t I say not to bother me?” Claire said fiercely.

“Miss, it’s me, I came to give you food.” Jean’s voice quietly sounded outside the door.

Claire froze, then stood up to open the door for Jean. Jean was carrying a dish, his expression lonely for some reason.

“Come in.” Claire said sourly.

“Miss…” It was only after Jean shut the door and put the pan onto the table that he sat down and stared at Claire.

“Something else?” Claire asked, frowning slightly.

“Miss, I wanted to ask you, do you accept my loyalty?” Currently, Jean’s expression was exceptionally serious.

Claire froze. What was that supposed to mean?

“If I didn’t accept, then I would have thrown you away long before, during the battle against the golden dragon.” Claire said coldly.

“But, Miss, why did you not tell me about your dangerous actions last night? I am your guardian knight; I don’t want to share joy together, but to face hardships together. I hope you can share your worries, hope that when you are in danger, I can shield in front of you.” Besides seriousness, Jean’s expression had a faint hint of loneliness.

In a flash, Claire wasn’t able to say anything. She just stared at Jean’s shining gaze.

“Miss, if next time something like this happens where I can’t help, please can you tell me once, okay?” Jean implored, staring at Claire strongly.

“Okay…” Claire looked at Jean’s expression and couldn’t help but say the word okay.  

After obtaining Claire’s reply, a smile appeared on Jean’s face. “Then Miss should first eat and then rest.” After saying these words, he got up, opened the door, and left.

“Ma, this man has improper thoughts about you, definitely. I dislike this guy, too tsundere, not showing anything on the outside.” Golden Lotus’s voice suddenly sounded, then said happily, “At least that Walter or something guy has disappeared. From now on, Ma is all mine.”

(TL: Before people call me a weeabo, the meaning of it was “outwardly cold or retiring but deep and passionate inside” and that sound suuper awkward by itself. I’m fairly sure this is the Chinese equivalent of tsundere, positive. Although I probably am a weeb seeing as I made the website name japanesemafialady…)

Claire: “………”

“Golden Lotus, don’t sleep. I want to break through. Help me withstand the heavenly tribulation.” Claire said after looking at the food on the table and eating some casually.  

“Okay. Right now?” Golden Lotus answered immediately.

“This place doesn’t work. We’ll go out the city.” Claire understood very deeply that she had to become strong as fast as possible. The Divine Princess, Liuxue Qing was actually able to detect her when she was invisible.

“Okay.” Golden Lotus was eager to try.

Claire reached her hand out at White Emperor, who was beside the pillow. White Emperor chirped twice, pounced onto Claire’s hand, and then while he was at it, crawled up to her shoulder and then her head.

Claire was about to go out, but then thought of the promise she had just made with Jean. She then turned to knock on Jean’s door.

The door opened very quickly. Jean looked at Claire, who was standing at the door, and said, puzzled, “Miss, is something the matter?”
