The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

"........."

Am I angry? Not really.

Ning Feng now only felt a little amused and helpless about Xilin's act of offering herself up as a sacrifice.

What a childish person you are!

You didn't say that in bed just now. Why are you acting differently now that you're out of bed?

It's just too much.

"You wait! I'll wait until you come back..."

A smile played on his lips as Ning Feng silently murmured to himself:

"I'll definitely show you why flowers are so red!"

What should we do about the current situation?

escape?

Escaping won't solve any problems, nor is it Ning Feng's style.

Jiang Wan is mistaking me for Xilin. Should I expose her?

of course not.

This is a great opportunity.

Ning Feng smiled, concealed his aura, silently walked behind Jiang Wan, and then gently hugged her from behind.

Jiang Wan: !

?

who!?

Ning Feng clearly felt that Jiang Wan's body stiffened and her muscles tensed after the unexpected situation occurred, and she almost retaliated.

Before Jiang Wan could make a move, Ning Feng released his concealed armor, wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, and said:

"Feel sorry."

In an instant, Jiang Wan's tense caution relaxed completely, and she felt a little guilty, wanting to turn around and glare at Ning Feng.

Don't scare people!

Ning Feng lowered his head and whispered in Jiang Wan's increasingly red earlobe:

I'm sorry to have worried you.

"Next time, I won't make you worry again."

Feeling the body in his arms gradually soften, Ning Feng knew that he had probably succeeded.

"Please forgive me, don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Jiang Wan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but after hearing Ning Feng's gentle voice, she lost all interest in it.

She hesitated for a moment, and finally just let out a soft hum from her nose.

"Ah."

She turned her head to look at Ning Feng's smiling eyes, snorted, then tilted her head back and closed her eyes.

She was waiting, and making no attempt to hide it.

She didn't care about anything else, whether it was a championship or anything else.

As long as Ning Feng can return safely, that will be enough.

Seeing Jiang Wan's adorable expression as she tilted her head back for a kiss, Ning Feng smiled silently.

look.

This matter is actually very simple.

Sometimes, they don't want to argue about who's right or wrong; they might just want to apologize.

Ning Feng refused to bow his head to others, no matter it was his fault, and even if you broke his spine, it wouldn't be acceptable.

But he didn't mind them bowing their heads.

Even if the mistake wasn't my fault, it doesn't matter.

Someone will always pay the price for this.

"Hehehehe..."

While pondering how to punish Xilin for deserting, Ning Feng lowered his head and gently kissed her slightly upturned red lips.

……

……

"call!"

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Shirin patted her chest, which wasn't heaving much, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Haha, I almost forgot something important."

He was a legend after all, so he couldn't possibly be afraid of anything; he was just worried about upsetting her.

After all, the other person is still a child, while I am already a mature adult. I should learn to respect the elderly and care for the young.

It's not that I'm scared!

No, that's not true!

"Even if I'm scared, pshaw, I'm not scared at all."

How can something legendary be described as frightening?

This is merely a necessary concession at certain times in order to get along better in the future, and a necessary means to prevent the conflict from escalating.

Yes, that's right!

Saying it like that makes me look good.

Calming down, Shirin slowly opened her eyes, finally having time to observe her surroundings.

When I thought back to it just now, time was already very tight. In order to avoid Ning Feng asking too many questions, I only made one change to the teleportation array.

I remember it was...

"...Uh, what!?"

Her slowly widening eyes suddenly widened, and Xilin stared blankly at everything in front of her.

An empty hall, rows of seats, a star map on the dome... and a slender figure standing by the window.

Looking at this scene she had seen in her dream, Shirin suddenly realized that the symbol she had changed was actually "return".

Shirin returned to Sky City once again and was teleported directly to the Stargazer's side.

After that, Xilin also learned what happened while she was unconscious and what kind of achievements the Stargazer had made by using Ning Feng's body.

The outside world's rating of stargazers is complex, but it mostly revolves around words like "powerful," "mysterious," "terrifying," and "dominant."

If Shirin hadn't seen it before, she would definitely have agreed based on that video alone.

They would never believe that this legendary figure, who is considered mysterious even in the history of the Watchers, would look like this.

Recalling the gentle figure in her previous dream, Shirin found it hard to reconcile the frail figure before her with the one who now silenced the entire world.

"Your Excellency the Stargazer..."

Suddenly appearing here, Xilin felt not much tension, but rather a little confused.

She didn't know why she thought that way, but she didn't feel uneasy or nervous; instead, she felt a sense of familiarity.

It's like looking at a familiar, gentle elder; even if she possesses great strength, you won't feel afraid.

For some reason, Shirin asked on her own initiative:

Have we met before?

After a moment of silence, the stargazer, whose back was to Shirin, did not answer the question, but instead spoke:

“I actually noticed you a long time ago, probably when you first came into the sight of the Watchers.”

what?

Shirin was genuinely surprised to learn that she had already been noticed at that time.

"This is easy to understand. Your appearance caused quite a stir at the time, with such a pure bloodline atavism. Some people believed that your essence was actually the same as that of pure-blooded elves born in those worlds."

With a furrowed brow, Shirin wanted to retort, but remained silent.

Sure enough, the stargazer continued:

"Of course, that idea was rejected. Your existence is no different from those awakened beings who have mixed bloodlines of different extraordinary creatures."

"You are human, and only human."

This is the consistent style of the Watchers and an unchanging consensus.

"At the beginning, someone suggested that you go undercover among the supernatural beings, or at certain times make contact with their higher-ups."

"But all of these ideas were ultimately rejected."

She blinked. Although Shirin was very unwilling to accept that idea, she had to admit that there was some truth to it.

"……Why?"

Why didn't I end up going down that path, and instead was able to live a carefree, easy life?

Ha ha.

With a soft chuckle, the stargazer spoke with a touch of wistfulness, his voice low and resonant:

"Because we no longer need to do those things."

what?

Looking up blankly, Shirin saw a hint of kindness in the stargazer's eyes.

“Things are different now than they were a thousand years ago. We are no longer so weak, and we no longer need to sacrifice the lives and future of a small number of people to achieve those goals.”
