Star Iron: Holding the past events of the sun and moon in its hands, a dove carrying a nail from the

Aglaia nodded: "Thank you. This time, I will talk to Sefaria and make sure that the situation won't happen again like last time."

"The Senate has its eyes on you, but don't worry, I will clear away all obstacles for you."

"May your trip be successful."

……

After Aglaia left, Bai'e walked in and immediately saw Yun Xingqi with a worried expression.

He smiled, put his hands behind his back, and quietly walked up to Yun Xingqi.

When Yun Xingqi was enveloped in shadow, she came to her senses and suddenly looked up.

Upon recognizing the person, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's you, partner?"

Bai'er asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Did you not enjoy your chat with Lady Aglaia?"

Yun Xingqi nodded, somewhat disappointed: "Yes and no, I talked a lot with Aglaia."

He told Bai E what had just happened.

"Do you think I'm a bad person...? Everyone is so kind to me, but I wanted to test her."

"To say that this was an instinctive reaction to protect oneself... is too far-fetched. Wrong is wrong."

Bai'e listened quietly, and only after the boy finished speaking did he ask softly, "So what were you thinking when you were testing Lady Aglaia?"

"If Lady Aglaia could see the words in this book, would you be happy, or would you regret it?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Xingqi subconsciously said, "Of course I'm happy. This way, she'll have a trump card."

After he finished speaking, he was stunned.

Bai E nodded: "That's right, then what's there to worry about?"

"As long as we live in this world, we will all have some selfishness to some extent, which is normal."

"I can sense that you care about Lady Aglaia just as much as you care about us, and it's genuine."

"Please stop worrying, okay?"

As he spoke, Bai E took a ring from behind his back when no one was looking.

By the time Yun Xingqi realized what was happening, the ring was already on his finger.

The ring was set with many gemstones and engraved with the mark of the Titan of the Necropolis.

Bai E smiled and said, "Partner, didn't you say you wanted a small, portable space like ours?"

"I had Teacher Tibo make one myself, just like you said."

"The interior space is the same size as ours, but it's lighter. Do you like it?"

This ring carries his scent, so that even if they are separated after the creation of the world, they can find their partner using this ring.

Yun Xingqi stared stiffly at Bai E, then looked at the exquisitely crafted ring on her finger.

I like it, but... it's on the ring finger, for crying out loud?

Does Onphalus have no tradition of wearing rings? Or does Baier not understand?

But... seeing Bai E's expectant eyes, Yun Xingqi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"...Yes, I like it very much, thank you, partner."

Well, I doubt anyone on either side of the monastery understands the meaning of this, so just wear it.

It's still pretty.

……

Soon, at Yun Xingqi's request, Aglaya found him a lot of materials.

According to him, the goal was to create something that would help the Butterfly see the Titan of Death.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Descendants were all shocked. They hadn't expected that, besides the people from Tree Court, Yun Xingqi also knew alchemy.

And so, amidst the expectant and encouraging gazes of everyone, Yun Xingqi carried piles of materials back to his seclusion.

……

Three days later, in Ohmma, it was the dead of night relative to the outside world.

"boom--!!!"

"Bang--!!!"

……

"What's going on?!"

"What happened??"

"Could it be an enemy attack?"

With a series of loud bangs, the entire population of Ohma was awakened, and the Golden Bloods got up to investigate the commotion.

Just as everyone stepped out of the room, they immediately saw the Cloud Stone Palace, which was emitting black smoke.

"What's going on? Who dares to launch a sneak attack on the Cloud Stone Palace?"

"Could it be that Nicardi has attacked?"

The crowd hid in fear and began to whisper among themselves.

Panic quickly spread throughout Ohmma.

But the Golden Descendants were stunned by the sight, their hearts pounding, and they hurriedly rushed towards Yun Xingqi.

The reason is that the place emitting black smoke is Yun Xingqi's bathing palace.

……

When everyone arrived, they saw Yun Xingqi, who was covered in black and had his head submerged in the water.

"partner!"

"Little Qi!"

……

Everyone rushed forward and pulled Yun Xingqi out of the water.

Then, Feng Jin began the examination with a nervous expression.

"What should we do?! It seems like..."

Seeing that there was no movement, she began to press on Yun Xingqi's chest.

"Wow--!"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—"

But in that instant, a mouthful of black smoke mixed with black water spewed out of Yun Xingqi's mouth, directly staining Feng Jin and the nearby Bai E black.

"Cough cough..."

"cough……"

As the black smoke was exhaled, Yun Xingqi slowly regained consciousness.

But when I opened my eyes, all I saw were two black lumps of coal.

Not only that, these two black lumps of coal even had eyes, and were staring intently at him.

This scene is so bizarre that anyone who sees it would be scared half to death.

Sure enough, Yun Xingqi screamed and slapped the two black coal balls in front of her.

"Help! Partner! Aglaia! There's an assassin!!!"

"Help!"

As soon as he stood up, Yun Xingqi was stunned again.

At that moment, Aglaia, Xia Die, Ti Bao, Tian, ​​and Tian Ning all looked at him with complicated expressions.

But she couldn't worry about that anymore, and Yun Xingqi quickly hid behind Aglaia.

"Why are you all here? Where are Bai E and Feng Jin? Never mind that, just save me!"

"Are these two lumps of coal trying to assassinate me?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two black coal lumps turned their heads and looked at Yun Xingqi with resentment.

Aglaia and the others twitched at the corners of their mouths, unsure of what to say.

Yun Xingqi asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you know these two lumps of coal?"

Two black lumps of coal: "..."

The next second, the two black coal balls washed their faces by the water, covered their faces, and looked at Yun Xingqi with reproach again.

"Partner, you really don't hold back."

"Pray for treasure..."

As the two revealed their true forms, Yun Xingqi was stunned, staring at them in shock, and then at Aglaia and the others.

Then he saw the room, now a ruin, still emitting cool smoke.

"Uh... would you believe me if I said I didn't do it on purpose...?"

As she spoke, Yun Xingqi guiltily ran over and rubbed Bai E and Feng Jin's faces.

Afterwards, she washed her face, revealing her true appearance.

Feng Jin asked stiffly, "Qi Bao... is this what you meant by... helping Die Bao? Isn't it a bit too much..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but it was clear that everyone understood what she meant.

That's what they think too.

Judging from this situation, is this helping Xia Die find the answer? It certainly could be.

But it seems the price is being paid by sending the Butterfly to the underworld, right?
