Xingyin and Xinghua instinctively prepared for battle. They both recognized the witch who appeared in front of them as the valiant witch who had beaten up the thugs earlier. They had also watched the daily mission of Guangbao's acts of bravery with Duke and Amber and understood the power of Guangbao.
But when the Radiant Witch actually stood before them, the Star Sisters truly realized just how terrifying the powerful beings in this world were.
In their previous world, although the warriors were extremely powerful, with even a minor leader capable of displaying Cecil-level destructive power, that was only possible with the support of the rules of the alternate dimension. The true value of their world lay in the soul level, while the physical destructive power simply could not be unleashed once they left the alternate dimension of the clothes-tearing game.
After arriving in this world, the Star Sisters quickly realized that they were much weaker—their clothes still had the strange ability to increase their combat power, but they were not as strong as they had been in the previous world, and they were no match for someone like Cecil.
"Radiant Witch, Cecil."
Cecil stood before the Star sisters, proudly introducing herself, but to her surprise, the two women were stunned upon hearing her name. The older sister's lips twitched slightly, while the younger sister burst out laughing.
Cecil: "?"
Are you polite?
"I...cough, I'm sorry."
"Amber Cecil," what a Frankenstein's monster name! Duke, you've really got some talent!
Fortunately, Guangbao was sensible (but also lacking in manners) and immediately accepted the sisters' apology. Then, he asked with concern, "You two sisters aren't residents of the floating city, are you?"
“Yes, we just arrived here yesterday.” The Xing sisters nodded in unison. “It was Amber… Duke who brought us here.”
"I knew it was him right away."
Cecil muttered a few words, about to take the two unfamiliar children and continue following Duke and Amber, when suddenly she sensed a somewhat familiar killing intent. Startled, Cecil abruptly turned around, raising her hand to conjure a sword of light, aiming it in that direction:
"Who goes there?!"
When Guangbao saw Geyue and Natasha walking out in the direction she pointed, her expression was quite interesting.
“Not bad, Cecil.” Geyue raised an eyebrow. “You were able to sense the killing intent that has accumulated on me over the years. Are you close to becoming a legend?”
"We're...we're still a tiny bit short." Cecil hadn't expected so many people to be following Duke. She gave an awkward laugh: "What are you all doing here?"
Kazuki pointed to the succubus lady beside her and said succinctly, "She likes that person, so we followed her."
Cecil: "?"
Guangbao's already limited brain started working at lightning speed:
Natasha is a lesbian—Natasha likes one of the two people she's dating—Natasha likes Amber?!
Clearly, Guangbao's version was out of touch, resulting in some rather absurd errors. No one present was aware of her misunderstanding, so no one offered to explain it to her. On the other hand, the Xing sisters, unaware of any rumors, avoided any misunderstandings.
"Hey, is everyone here? Are you all here to wish our older brother and sister well?"
When Gret arrived, the group that had been following him were already numb, but when the next guest appeared, the atmosphere reached a new and enthusiastic level.
"Your Highness Bain, what are you doing here?"
"Hmph, why can't I?" Bane, whose arm had been reattached with the witch's help, snorted. This hero-level ranger, who had somehow joined the tracking group, now held a longbow in his hand and said with murderous intent, "If Duke dares to harm Amber, I'll shoot him with an arrow!"
Cecil looked around at the impressive lineup in front of him, pondered for a moment, and came to a conclusion.
Duke is probably in for a tough time today.
……
Aren't you going to join in the fun?
Eve put down her binoculars, turned around curiously, and asked:
"You're one of his 'ex-girlfriends,' aren't you?"
"What's the point of joining in this commotion? How can they possibly follow anyone like this?" Carol, standing behind Eve, twitched her lips slightly, pointed at the group of seven or eight people huddled together, and asked speechlessly, "When did our elite witches and adventurers become such idiots?"
"When it comes to love, humans become idiots... Oh, succubi and elves are no exception."
"Damn it, how did the floating city become like this?"
Eve waved her hand, then picked up her binoculars and peered through the air, casually asking:
Do you think Duke really killed Talia?
Chapter 125 She's getting anxious, she's getting anxious
Do you think Duke really killed Talia?
"how is this possible?"
Carol shook her head, squinting her eyes, a clock-like pattern appearing in her pupils. They were at the highest point of the floating city, but she could see the mischievous tracking team even without binoculars. She quickly locked onto the Star Sisters, who had just left the witch game:
“I have reason to suspect that she is inside one of their bodies.”
“I think it’s the older sister, after all, Duke said she was possessed.” Eve frowned in distress. “But it could also be the younger sister. Talia possessed the older sister just to mislead us, which is a counterintuitive act.”
"Is it possible that she's acting against logic? Does she think we'll believe she's on her sister, but instead she's hiding on her older sister?" Carol asked curiously. "We thought she was on the second floor, but actually she's deliberately staying on the second floor without moving?"
"What kind of nonsensical anti-logic?" Eve rolled her eyes and put away her binoculars again. "There are only three possibilities: Talia is in Xingyin's body, Talia is in Xinghua's body, or Talia is split into two soul fragments, both residing in the bodies of the Xing sisters."
Carol paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Isn't it possible that Talia is inside Duke's body?"
"Are you crazy?" Eve was so angry at these words that she immediately punched Carol. "I'm the one who treated Duke, do you think I would forget to check his soul?"
"Oh, I forgot." Carol rubbed her arm and complained, "Ouch, that hit really hard! Were you intentionally throwing a punch?"
"At your age, why are you pretending to be a frail, delicate girl?" Eve said irritably. "So, what should we do now? Arrest those sisters?"
“Of course not. We’ve finally got this opportunity, why should we alert them?” Carol smiled slightly, placed one hand on Eve’s shoulder, and snapped her fingers with the other: “Time, stop flowing.”
In an instant, time seemed to stand still throughout the world, except for Carol and Eve, who were able to move freely.
"Let's begin."
"okay."
Eve took a slow, deep breath.
Eve is not one of the four legendary witches currently existing in the floating city, but her seniority is longer than that of the other three legends. Her active period can even be traced back to the few hundred years after the floating city was built. Even the current city lord, Carol, is a hundred years younger than Eve.
Throughout her centuries-long life, Eve has witnessed many outstanding successors surpass her and achieve legendary status, as well as many outstanding successors who perish on the path to legend. Yet, she has always maintained her own pace, striding forward on the path of her own legendary destiny.
"Only exceptional spellcasters can be called witches, so what's wrong with me not wanting to follow paths that have already been trodden, but instead wanting to become the most unique legendary witch?"
The Witch of Wishes has so far remained at the near-legendary level, but no legendary witch would underestimate her achievements.
Eve spoke slowly in the direction of the Star Sisters:
“The soul will not be able to stand alone here.”
The change in rules has enveloped the entire floating city.
Then, the paused time resumed its flow.
Having finished all that, Carol and Eve returned to their relaxed state, looking to be in a very good mood. They continued to gaze at Duke and Amber's date, even casually making a bet: "When do you think they'll realize they're being followed?"
Carol tilted her head: "Duke already found out, didn't he?"
"But Amber probably didn't notice. Otherwise, if that kid had realized Bane was following them, he probably would have immediately used spatial jump and run away with Duke. Maybe he would have teleported right in front of us, after all, the scenery here is really nice..."
Before Eve could finish speaking, Duke and Amber suddenly disappeared from the telescope's field of vision. She was stunned for a moment, then put down the telescope and met the young couple who had suddenly appeared holding hands.
"Huh?"
"Time, stop flowing."
The next instant, Carol and Eve appeared on another rooftop, and she heard Carol's annoyed complaint: "Shut up, you jinx."
"Oh, this." Eve's lips twitched slightly, then she asked curiously, "Are you avoiding Duke?"
"……Shut up."
Oh dear, she's panicking, she's panicking.
Eve looked at her best friend, who, while outwardly keeping quiet, had actually started gossiping.
Could it be that Carol and Duke really have some kind of romantic entanglement?
……
Duke and Amber noticed the pursuers behind them quite early on.
To be honest, it's hard not to notice half-baked stalkers like the Star Sisters and Cecil, especially Lightbao—does she think she'll be inconspicuous if she doesn't glow? With that bulky knight's plate armor, how is she supposed to hide herself?
Kazuki did hide herself very well, but with a burden named Miss Succubus (or Defeated Dog) in tow, she couldn't completely conceal her presence.
However, at first, they both ignored the pursuers behind them.
Putting Duke's motives aside, Amber's were simpler: she deliberately wanted to declare her status as the official wife by going on a sweet shopping trip with Duke in front of these "rivals."
But to their utter surprise, the stalkers soon dropped their act and formed a stalker alliance behind them. An unexpected guest also appeared – when Bane showed up, both Duke and Amber panicked.
The brother-in-law even brought a bow; how could they possibly be in the mood for a date?!
So the two of them slipped away in front of everyone, their first destination being the tallest clock tower in the floating city, where they unexpectedly bumped into someone equally unexpected.
"I think I just saw Eve and Carol?" Amber rubbed her eyes. "Was I seeing things?"
Duke didn't answer; he frowned and began to think.
He was certain that the two of them hadn't been seeing things; they had genuinely seen two people at the top of the clock tower. The one Amber referred to as "Sister Carol" was none other than Carol, the current lord of the floating city.
"That's strange, why does she look so familiar..."
He muttered something strangely.
"It's so beautiful." Amber, clearly oblivious to his thoughts, leaned against the wall of the clock tower, taking in the magnificent panorama of the floating city before her, and said with great emotion, "Duke, where do we go next?"
"Where do you want to go?"
When Amber heard Duke throw the ball back to her, her eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled sweetly:
"So...would you like something more exciting?"
Chapter 126 A Kiss to Remember Forever
"So...would you like something more exciting?"
Duke raised an eyebrow, looked at Amber in front of him, and said provocatively, "Why not?"
To be honest, he was really looking forward to seeing what kind of trouble Amber could cause him. With Duke's consent, Amber took his hand and then teleported him back to his friends and family.
"Huh?"
