Celia: After Dying in the Apocalypse, I Live Once Again!

Chapter 149: The Amazing Truth!

Celia: “…”

Once more, Illya got ahead of herself, acting very smug and mysterious. However, Guanyu wasn’t one to be edged in this kind of way; so, as you’d expect… Celia was given quite the interesting look by the Cultivator.

It was one of those gazes that you read in novels, manga, or see in fictional situations. The look being a mix of “I can’t believe that I still love this woman after all this, somehow, even more.” and “If you were anyone else, I’d have you tortured to death, revived, and forced to repeat that punishment until I was satisfied.” Honestly, I was quite terrified, despite not being involved in this scene, Celia and Guanyu seeming to (thankfully) forget my narration presence entirely.

Guanyu: “Do please explain the supposedly wonderful truth, dear wife.” She gently demanded with her eyes closed.

Celia: “O-okay, right away!” She stammered out.

Guanyu: “I’m waiting.” She reminded not a second later.

Celia: “The size of threads varies, depending on the connection between the people involved.” She answered with a hurried tone.

Guanyu: “…”

Celia: “( ? _ ? )”

Unfortunately, while she gave an answer, it wasn’t the one that Guanyu wanted to hear come out of Celia’s mouth. Though, this just proves that Celia doesn’t pick favorites in her harem; answering a question which we already correctly assumed the answer to.

Instead, what Guanyu, me, and the other wives, upon asking Celia about this… expects the woman to admit whom among her harem is at the top of her heart; the one with the thickest thread, who had a golden connection to Celia.

Guanyu: “Let me correct your misunderstanding… Celia, who is the one you love most, said love proven by their thread being the best? That is what I meant by my earlier question.” She clarified with a serious, nervous tone.

Celia: “I love my wives equally.” She instantly answered, all in a nonchalant, matter of fact tone.

Guanyu: “…”

Vulely: “Celia! That is a major cop out of an answer, and you know it!!!” I accused, appeared in my physical form, now standing before the two with my arms crossed.

Celia: “It isn’t, I swear!” She replied with a tone like I was the one in the wrong.

Before I could get further upset or speak more, Guanyu raised her hand; signaling for us both to stop. She then asked Celia for solid proof of her claim; as it was one that both Guanyu and I found hard to believe. Even if we wanted so much to believe said flowery words…

Celia: “Hm… But how can I?… Oh, I know! You two, close your eyes.” She requested with an earnest expression.

Guanyu and Vulely: “…”

Celia: “Come on, trust in your dear wife.” She pleaded with a somewhat sad tone.

Guanyu: “Fine, we’ll do as you ask. Vulely, worry not; if Celia isn’t being honest, I shall grant her an appropriate punishment.” She said with a reluctant sigh.

Vulely: “…Alright.” I agreed with my own sigh, longer than the Cultivators.

After our eyes were closed, we were then seeing the world through Celia’s. Invoking Thread of Love, we saw what Celia already knew. Each thread was golden and thick as can be, even the threads connected to the recent additions to Celia’s harem.

The woman was truly insane, loving each of us at the same, overly deep level. Worse… this caused us two… to now, somehow be even further in love with Celia!…
