The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Tears?

His fiancée was crying tears of blood!

"Sophie...you! What happened to you?"

What happened?!

You actually...

It actually has feelings?!

Ah? ? ?

I thought your heart had hardened to the point of being as hard as stone...

Although that's what he thought, the skills he honed over the years as a sea king made him pull back from the brink and not say what he really meant.

He tried to get up, but found that he couldn't get up at all. His whole body was limp and powerless, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body.

My face, in particular, is burning hot...

"Cough cough... What happened?"

My injuries don't matter. Tell me why you're crying first.

Sophie didn't wipe away her tears, but sniffed and calmly said:

"...Your face is cut, I'm bandaging it for you."

Is that so?

His instincts told him something was wrong, but Aquaman's intuition told him he couldn't keep asking.

"Oh, I see..."

He nodded slowly, understanding, and sighed with difficulty:

"Then I'll leave it to you. Please go easy on me."

Nodding, Sophie tore off a piece of cloth and wiped the blood from Anthony's wound.

"Um, Sophie..."

"Ok?"

Anthony's eyebrows twitched, but he still didn't have the courage to ask the question, and could only stammer:

"We...no, we're okay."

But Sophie wasn't buying it. She nodded and said casually:

"If you won't tell me, then I will. When we get back, you'd better clean up your mess as soon as possible."

Anthony: ?

???

"Uh, why?"

Why the sudden change of heart?

"marry."

Nodding in understanding, Anthony said with a sudden realization:

"Oh, I see, so it's for a wedding..."

Anthony: "…………"

Ok?

"...Who's marrying whom?"

Sophie, her eyes filled with pity as she looked at the incredulous Anthony, calmly said:

"You and me."

card!

He tried anxiously to get up, but the result was that his already dislocated bones made another loud noise, causing Anthony's expression to twist violently.

Even while enduring such pain, he still managed to shout:

"Oh! Why!?"

She pressed him back down without any mercy, and after thinking for a moment, Sophie said:

"If you absolutely have to give a reason, it's intuition."

The Jasmine family possesses the most mystical, yet also the most deeply believed, special abilities.

intuition.

"If you marry me, you'll definitely be happy... Can you accept this?"

I can't accept this!

"Or to put it another way, Anthony, between liking and disliking, which would you choose?"

With a twitching cheek, Anthony looked at Sophie and stammered for a long time before finally saying:

"If you choose this, it's probably because you like it..."

"That's good."

Good? What's so good about it?

"By the way, if you were to elope, how would your family react?"

You've already thought of this much!?

Anthony wanted to complain, but his body wouldn't move, and he ultimately succumbed to Sophie's calm gaze, managing to say with difficulty:

"Maybe, uh, some people will celebrate? After all, those collateral relatives might have a chance too, but they're probably dreaming. Just look at my old man's health, he could have ten more children without a problem..."

"Wait! You're not really thinking of doing this, are you? Even if we elope, our expenses..."

Seeing the way Jasmine's direct descendants looked at him as if he were an idiot, Anthony blinked and cowered.

Fine, you're rich, so what?

"That's enough. This matter is over. We can talk about the rest outside."

"Oh……"

Anthony doesn't know what the future holds, but right now, he feels like the world is shrouded in darkness.

The miserable life that will last for the next few decades seems to be clearly foreseeable.

In a corner unnoticed by Sophie and Anthony, a slender figure, a third person in this scene, is hidden in the shadows.

Chu Yu watched the entire farce unfold.

Even when Sophie was about to kill Anthony, she had no intention of stopping her.

She watched with pure eyes and a calm expression.

A phantom scale appeared in Chu Yu's eyes, as if he wanted to do something.

But she ultimately chose to remain hidden, and after the two people's voices disappeared, she also chose to withdraw.

……

……

"Keynes, things have come to this point. If you don't give an explanation, it really won't do."

Finally, after repeated inquiries and receiving notification, Keynes no longer avoided the issue.

He approached the group of legends and bowed slightly in apology:

"I will address each of your questions one by one."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Starchaser competition is only one part of the reason we invited you here."

"The real reason is to witness something else..."

Straightening his clothes, the elegant old nobleman turned around, ignoring the furrowed brows of the other legends, and bowed to the empty sea.

"Please, everyone, witness the miracle of humankind..."

He raised his head and gazed at the seemingly empty sky with an enthusiasm that belied his age.

He shouted loudly:

"On behalf of the Jaslin family, Keynes cordially welcomes Your Excellency's arrival."

……what?

Before the legends could figure out what was going on, Augustus, who had been sitting in his seat, slowly got up and left.

Unlike Keynes, he did not bend down, but he also stood up straight, gazing intently at the sky.

Cecilia, who was playing the role of the swordswoman, did not stand up. She merely raised her head slightly, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and whispered to herself:

"...It's been a long time."

The next moment, it got dark.

Suddenly, a huge shadow was cast from the sky onto the calm sea!

At the location from which Augustus had been teleported, ripples appeared in space, revealing the truth within.

Hidden within is a colossal ancient structure, the pinnacle of human power—the Sky City!

After a thousand years, it has once again revealed its original appearance to the world.

At the same moment the sky appeared, Ning Feng, sitting on the broken throne, opened his eyes and his body disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he suddenly found himself floating high in the air.

Without understanding the situation, Ning Feng naturally lowered his gaze and looked in the direction where there were people in his field of vision.

But to everyone on the cruise ship, the scene was quite different.

After Keynes bowed respectfully, Ning Feng suddenly appeared in the sky in front of Sky City!

Or perhaps, it's like a castle in the sky...
