The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Before I apologize to you, please allow me to express my respect.

"Huh? A tribute?"

Anthony: ? ? ?

Anthony can understand expressing his apology, but what does this respect mean?

"Yes! It's about respect. Didn't you just demonstrate some truly excellent qualities?"

There was no joke at all; the angel exuded a powerful, dazzling will that even made Anthony somewhat uneasy.

"Uh, but I was only focused on escaping..."

"Escape? What are you talking about?"

Ning Feng interrupted Anthony again, taking a heavy step forward.

"Who would mistake your wisest decision just now for running away? Didn't you make the most correct decision at the first moment?"

"When faced with an enemy that is impossible to deal with, one must flee even if it means abandoning one's dignity, as this is the only way to have a chance of passing on intelligence."

Taking another step forward, Ning Feng's imposing aura forced Anthony to instinctively take a step back.

Don't come near me!

"Therefore, I express my sincerest respect to you! And I ask for your forgiveness for previously regarding my perception of you as a nobleman who possessed strength but lacked experience."

Anthony stared blankly at Mephistopheles, who seemed to be apologizing but exuded an imposing aura, feeling somewhat confused...

What is all this nonsense?

Using his last shred of reason, Anthony asked:

"You, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"Please believe me. Besides, angels never allow themselves to speak lies."

If it's the kind of angel who has strong self-discipline.

Mephistopheles nodded earnestly to Anthony, extending his palm with unmistakable angelic lineage characteristics.

"Please remain vigilant. With you here, our chances of survival will be greatly increased!"

I can't live without you!

Without your vigilance, we wouldn't even be able to walk a kilometer!

So stop worrying about what others think and continue to develop your strengths!

Wake up quickly, or else...

Biting his lip, Ning Feng suppressed his instinctive impulse and gazed affectionately at Anthony.

I almost burst out laughing.

Still in a daze, Anthony was being beaten so badly by Ning Feng's relentless combination of punches that he was completely disoriented. In a daze, he grabbed the hand that Ning Feng offered.

"Ah, um, okay."

……

……

"That idiot, he's been completely manipulated."

Standing next to Andrew, Eberron looked at Anthony, whose expression had clearly brightened, and shook his head helplessly, muttering:

"I really don't understand, with his IQ, how did he manage to hook up with those women?"

Could it be that we really rely solely on that stinking skin?

Eberlen admits that Anthony's appearance is acceptable, but his inner qualities are really lacking.

Regardless of what others think, Eberlen has always kept his distance from those who are all show and no substance.

More attractive to her than the looks bestowed upon her by her parents was the inner strength cultivated through hardship and perseverance.

Just like...

What are you talking about?

Smiling and shaking his head, Andrew made a shushing gesture in front of his mouth, winked his left eye at Eberron, and chuckled:

“I also think Mephisto makes a lot of sense. Don’t you think so, Miss Eberlen?”

Don't worry about whether those things are true or not.

Anthony has already suffered enough; let's just let this matter rest.

Does it matter whether Mephistopheles's actions were genuine or not?

unimportant.

not to mention……

Andrew glanced at the silver wings and angelic halo behind Mephistopheles, muttered something to himself, and then smiled at Eberron:

"Angels don't lie, do they?"

Chapter 398 Pride and Awe

【It's a good thing you could do something like this to a man! Hahaha...it must have been really tough on you~】

Ariana's black cat form appeared on Ning Feng's shoulder, covering its head with its paws and laughing tremblingly.

She laughed so hard she was doubled over, rolling around on Ning Feng's body, but showed no sign of falling.

And wow! This little guy is really interesting! (He has a gorgeous appearance.)

Did they genuinely not realize they'd been deceived? Or were they successfully subjected to moral blackmail and PUA tactics by an "angel" (a person's emotional manipulation tactics)?

Or is it just taking advantage of the situation and going with the flow?

Is he playing dumb, or is he genuinely stupid?

"Who knows? Besides... it doesn't matter at all, does it?"

Turning his head, Ning Feng watched as Anthony, covered in "warrior's medals" and dust, strode towards Andrew and the others.

That proud and upright confident back looked fearless, like a warrior who deserved praise.

"Now that things have come to this, the truth or falsehood is no longer important. No... just like many things, it was never important in the first place."

Truth and falsehood are intertwined; who can truly see through them?

"And ah..."

With a distant gaze, Ning Feng lowered his eyes and softly spoke to the black cat on his shoulder:

"What I said wasn't entirely acting."

Ning Feng smiled as he watched Anthony proudly accept praise from Andrew.

"That kind of vigilance may seem a bit excessive, but it shouldn't be ridiculed. I genuinely believe that."

Ariana: The Black Cat's Mystery.GIF

Although she was in the form of a black cat, her face was full of unspoken words:

What strange thing are you talking about?

"Those words might fool a fool, but don't try to fool me!"

And so on.

"Ah, I knew it. You didn't notice either."

Having already guessed this, Ning Feng didn't argue. He simply tapped the black cat's nose lightly with his knuckles, and chuckled as he walked away:

"You two are a given. You probably haven't experienced much fear since birth, so you've never paid attention to this kind of thing."

Although there were few clues about the identities of the angel and the demon, Ning Feng had managed to guess some of them.

Beings qualified to converse on equal footing with the gods are born mythical creatures, truly legends among legends.

Beings like them are almost completely unaware of fear.

Such an existence can arrogantly look down upon all living beings, and it is only right that it should do so.

but……

“But I shouldn’t be like that. I don’t have the right to be arrogant, but I already have a similar arrogance to yours.”

Under the subtle influence of the two, Ning Feng suddenly realized a certain trait within himself after seeing Anthony's reaction.

arrogant.

Having seen and experienced so much, Ning Feng unconsciously placed himself in a superior position.

A giant dragon?

Are dragons really that scary? Even if they're legendary when they're fully grown, so what?

Is he comparable to a false god? Is he comparable to a saint? Is he comparable to a demon lord?

Nothing compares to it; it's just a mere dragon. Could it possibly kill me?

Absolutely impossible!

Since that's the case, does that mean we really don't need to care?

No, it's not like that.

This idea is absolutely wrong.

very dangerous!

If things continue like this, I don't know when I'll pay a heavy price for my arrogance.

"What I lack now is a very important quality."

"I lacked caution."

Caution is a very valuable quality.

"My mindset has been changing as I've met more people."
