The Bored Immortal
chapter-211

Viktor subtly smiled and said, "I think your whole clan is in for a shocker today, especially your disciple, Ayana."

Nyissa pinched her lips and petulantly said, "You already blurted out everything to her. At least, she won't be as shocked as others hearing it for the first time."

Nyissa wondered what her disciple would think of her Master for suddenly taking this decision. Even if she was her disciple in name, over the years, Nyissa had started to see her as her little sister.

"Well, now that some have already seen this. Gossips and rumors must be already spreading, and I am sure there could only be a few conclusions they can come to. But even if this sounds selfish, I am glad that you remained single for 900 years. It is surely a feat not even I can do. I am sure countless men must have tried to court you for all these years," Viktor softly chuckled.

Nyissa's cheeks blushed as she lightly slapped his hand, "Stop it. You make it sound...embarrassing. What about you? How many women did you have over the period of 2000 years?" Nyissa asked with a piercing look, to which Viktor inwardly grimaced but on the outside kept a straight face.

Still, he said something to put her at ease, "Actually, I slept for almost 1000 years, so in a way, just like you, I remained single for all those centuries. And before that...well, the first woman I fell in love with was your grandaunt."

Nyissa's lips parted in surprise as she didn't know her grandaunt was his first love. But this also made her feel a bit guilty thinking that she was snatching her grand aunt's man from her.

But she remembered how Sae didn't seem to be angry or sad when her grandfather proposed her marriage to Viktor. It was more like she was looking forward to it, strangely enough.

"As the Blood Demon, I never believed that I would fall in love with someone, nor will anyone else with me. Most would piss their pants if I just look at them. If I wanted women, there were already countless girls ready to throw themselves at me. But I was never interested in any one of them until one day Sae suddenly came to me with a portrait painting of my visage. To be honest, I never thought a painting could look so beautiful and lifelike. Her beauty, her artistic skills, and her enamoring nature made me curious about her...curious in someone for the first time in a long time. And soon that curiosity turned to love when I told her to stay with me," Viktor recounted with a smile.

Nyissa didn't know why but she felt a bit envious of her grandaunt for her getting to have a history with Viktor and knowing him better.

She felt as if there was a lot about Viktor she had to uncover since even now, she felt that he was an enigma.

"Wait...considering the person you were at that time, did you force my grandaunt to—"

"Of course not," Viktor waved his hand and said, "For some reason, I didn't feel like sleeping with her the moment I saw her, but to get to know her more. So even if the way I said sounded like an order, I was more like asking her to stay, to which she agreed, and from then on, I ignored everything else and started to spend time with her. While spending time with her, I realized that some foreign feeling was taking root in my heart, and I wanted to explore it. Since I was afraid of her leaving suddenly, I asked her to marry me, to which she agreed as well. But I wanted to know if she agreed because she sought revenge or because she loved me. I am not sure when she started to love me," Viktor said with a glazed expression.

Nyissa's expression softened as she said, "I don't think it matters when she fell in love with you as long as she loves you. But if I have to guess, she must have fallen in love with you early on because I think my grandaunt wouldn't easily agree to such things even if it was for revenge."

Viktor smiled as he remembered certain things, "I think so too."

"So, what happened after you faked your death?" Nyissa was curious about what kind of life Viktor led after quitting the life of being the Blood Demon.

Viktor grinned and said, "I don't think you would believe me."

Nyissa narrowed her eyes and confidently said, "I doubt there is anything in this world that would surprise me."

"You know the dominant religion in our world?"

Nyissa answered with a confused expression, "Washi? And? What about it?"

"Who was the founder of Washi and someone still revered as a godly figure, rumored to have possessed the ability to move heaven and earth? The holy son of God?" Viktor asked with a smug look.

"Of course, it was Saint Zehing. But he was just a fraud according to our history."

Viktor inwardly gulped, hearing her words.

She continued, "I heard he was quite perverted as well, and whenever no one was looking, he could be found sleeping on a woman's thighs. How could someone preach about justice, morality and righteousness and still be shameless enough to do such acts behind the curtains?"

Viktor's eyes twitched as Nyissa went on, "Wait a minute...You….You, don't tell me…" Nyissa put two and two together and looked at Viktor with an incredulous expression.

Viktor gave a side glance at her and acted as if he didn't know anything.

"You were Saint Zehing? The son of God and the messiah of humanity? You were the one who wrote that holy book named Wahing that the whole world still considers sacred to this time? It was more like you were the messiah of pretty flowers who were ready to sleep with you," Nyissa's grip around Viktor's hand tightened as he coughed and said, "Look, your history is flawed as I said. Zehing was indeed a righteous man who acted as if he was God's messenger. And I, ahem...he did indeed save countless people, especially using his special abilities. It wasn't for nothing he was known as the messiah of humanity. Also, he did not sleep with women, but they were merely his devoted followers who wished to serve him. He can't be blamed for that."

The holy book named Wahing was something he wrote when he was bored and wanted to note down whatever bullshit he had in mind. He just didn't expect people to like it so much or it to become so famous.

Nyissa continued to look at him with a 'Are you serious?' expression, but after a few moments, her expression loosened up as she let out a soft giggle, feeling amused by Viktor's expressions and his fiascos in the past.

She could only wonder what people would think if they came to know that their so-called messiah was still alive and a playboy.

Still, she asked, "But I believe you took that role on for a reason. Why?"
