183 The Muse (Part 3)
After the human pioneers of the origin planet discovered the unique characteristics of the muse, they regarded the muse as precious treasures.
They captured all the muses and sold them to the nobles on various planets.
In the beginning, the major nobles of the Titanium Pole World were proud of having a muse as their lover. The muse relied on their looks to charm the decadent nobles, and they were able to thrive in human society.
That was until the two great nobles on the origin planet started a terrible war with the excuse of a muse woman.
Not only had the war exhausted all the resources on the origin planet, but the destruction caused by the war had also caused the technological capabilities of the origin planet to regress.
As the mother star of the origin of mankind, the origin planet had completely declined.
The war had caused hundreds of millions of casualties on the origin planet, and the civilization had regressed. Everyone needed an outlet to vent their emotions.
The muse woman took the blame, and the saying femme fatale became popular on the origin planet.
In the next hundred years, the muse appeared in many wars. Those in power deliberately pushed the blame onto others, and the media also followed suit. In addition, people had a special preference for stories about femme fatale.
For a time, the muse had become a synonym for disaster in the human world.
Everyone would look down on the muse. Even if there were nobles and muse lovers, they would do it secretly and not dare to be discovered. Once discovered, the reputation of the noble would be ruined.
The muse had become the target of everyone’s wrath.
Under such circumstances, many of the muses who were sold as goods and left Red Water Planet could not return to Red Water Planet and die in their ancestral land.
In addition to intermarriage with humans, purebred muses were almost extinct.
After reading the story of the muse, Ning Shi looked at Nico with sympathy.
The muse had originally lived freely on Red Water Planet, but they had been sold as goods by the colonists and had become homeless galactic refugees.
In the end, they were even used as an excuse by the humans to start a war and were cursed.
Seeing that Ning Shi’s eyes had moved away from the book and were looking at him with sympathy, Nico finally found the opportunity to ask.
“You really don’t seem to be afraid of me? You’ve been close to me for more than eight hours. If you trust me, don’t do any dangerous actions or activities during this time.
“If you stay in the orphanage quietly, bad luck will only cause you to fall, step on feces, or kick the corner of the table. Although it’s unpleasant, it’s not fatal.”
Ning Shi didn’t care. He reached out his hand and said seriously.
“Hello, Nico, my name is Ning Shi. I grew up in this orphanage. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Nico hesitated for a moment but still stretched out his hand and shook hands with Ning Shi.
He said embarrassedly, “Ever since I learned how to take care of myself when I was five years old, no one has dared to touch me. You’re very brave. I can feel that you don’t have any fear or dislike for me.”
Ning Shi felt that Nico did not reject him, so he changed his plan.
He kept the book and said confidently, “I’ve never believed in luck. I only believe in myself. It’s rare to meet someone of my age in the orphanage. Do you want to have a meal with me?”
Nico was infected by Ning Shi’s self-confidence. He smiled and said, “I hope so. No matter what, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
The two of them walked side by side to the orphanage’s canteen. The little boy, Wang Fu, followed behind them with a one-meter distance between them.
In order to save money, the orphanage only provided two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the evening. The meal time was only half an hour, so Ning Shi and the other two had to speed up.
Ning Shi walked along the corridor to the cafeteria. Who knew that a window at the side of the corridor would suddenly open?
Bang!
Ning Shi couldn’t avoid it in time and his whole face was stuck to the windowsill. Suddenly, he saw stars and his nose ached, a red liquid flowing out of his nose.
Nico was very aware and kept a distance of more than a meter away from Ning Shi.
Wang Fu handed him a piece of gray cloth and said, “You can believe in yourself, but you must also believe in luck.”
