The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　The Ice Dragon is back.

　""

　On the terrace, Vivian yawned listlessly, looking at the hustle and bustle of Danzhou City.

　Vivian looked at the hazy city outline with her blurry eyes, and scenes from Shura's dream appeared before her eyes again.

　The fire...his mother's instructions...and the young man running desperately towards him.

　She drifted outside of time. After an unknown amount of time, she finally jumped out of the crack created by the truth and appeared in the Fallu Mountains.

　Then, she was picked up by Alice and taken to the Academy, completely away from her past.

　But her past eventually came back to haunt her.

　For some reason, Vivian couldn't be happy at all.

　She once had an almost pathological desire for the past, wanting to know where she came from, as if this could explain a lot of confusion.

　But when she really knew her past, she would rather she had never known it.

　The bloody reality, the inexplicable mission, and the almost crazy sadness all came rushing in.

　Vivian hadn't spoken to anyone for three days since she woke up.

　She didn't know how long she could maintain this state.

　""

　"Good morning, Vivian."

　Vivian turned her head and saw a figure outlined in black and white light, sitting at the small table on the terrace.

　It’s Xingmo.

　She was holding hot soy milk in one hand and fried dough sticks in the other.

　"Do you want to eat?" Xing Mo waved the fried dough sticks.

　Vivian shook her head and turned her gaze to Danzhou City outside the terrace again, her eyes still blurred.

　Seeing this, Xing Mo smiled lightly and said:

　"I'm sorry, I've seen your past too."

　Vivian shook her head again, indicating that it didn't matter, but still didn't want to speak.

　Seeing her like this, Xing Mo continued to talk to himself:

　"Seeing you like this, I'm actually a little worried."

　"After all, from this point of view of our backgrounds, we may be quite similar... We both have no past, and we both long for the past, but you saw your past before me..."

　Hearing this, Vivian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Xingmo.

　She suddenly realized that Xing Mo was indeed someone very similar to herself, and even her purpose in coming to Yan Xia was... for the Haishang Yun, and also for clues about her past.

　"I'm a little confused," Vivian's voice was a little hoarse. "I know those are just my memories, but it always feels... unreal."

　"The unknown is certainly terrifying, but the truth is often heavier than we imagine," Xingmo nodded. "I understand... After all... I lived in Xingmo's body for so long, and it's been less than a year since I became like this, yet I feel like this is how I was meant to be."

　"It always makes me think...what I was like in the past, what I've been through, why are all these secrets surrounding me..."

　"Are you afraid?" Vivian whispered, "I feel... my previous life seems meaningless..."

　Meaning...As the descendant of the ice dragon...according to dragon logic, Vivian should seek revenge.

　This is a shame for the family and a tragedy for the bloodline. Those people slaughtered her people like slaughtering livestock.

　Her time in the Citadel taught her that she shouldn't be overwhelmed by hatred, but her dragon instincts told her that she should hate.

　Just like her brother Perses Xia, she should seek revenge and cut her enemies into pieces.

　""

　Facing Vivian's question, Xingmo smiled faintly.

　"A little bit," she whispered, "I'm scared for sure, but the significance... maybe not that important."

　"Not so important?"

　"No matter who you are," Xingmo waved the fried dough sticks in her hand, "waking up in the morning to eat fried dough sticks and soy milk is always a very enjoyable thing, isn't it?"

　"But...what about the hatred?"

　"Think about it after you finish eating fried dough sticks and soy milk."

　"But in this case..."

　"We can eat fried dough sticks and soy milk first. It won't delay us, right?" Xing Mo blinked. "But if we're hungry... then we can't do anything."

　On an empty stomach... you can't do anything...

　Vivian instinctively felt that these words were absurd, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that something was about to come out.

　Did she really want to become a monster like her brother, immersing herself in slaughter all day long?

　Instinctively, Vivian felt that such a life had nothing to do with soy milk and fried dough sticks.

　that's true.

　Rather than thinking... maybe you should experience it first.

　"Can you give me half a fried dough stick?" Vivian whispered.

　Hearing this, Xing Mo smiled lightly and picked up a small bag:

　"I brought you one too. Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and multi-grain pancakes. I added two sausages and two portions of pork tenderloin to the pancakes."

　"Are you so sure that I will eat breakfast...?" Vivian's eyebrows twitched slightly.

　"I am sure."

　Xing Mo's expression suddenly became serious:

　"Because the Vivian senior I know is definitely not someone who is indecisive."

　"!"

　Hearing Xing Mo's words, Vivian felt as if she had received an electric shock, and her fingers trembled slightly.

　She turned around, gently rubbed the corners of her eyes at an angle where Xingmo couldn't notice, then looked back with a smile.

　"Okay! After we finish eating, we'll go find Alice!"

　PS: I was so happy today.

　There will be additional updates at 1:00!

Chapter 405 When the Wind Howls (Part 2) -4k- (Updated when happy)

　When Xingmo led Vivian into the room, Alice flew over at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye.

　Without waiting for Vivian to speak, she grabbed Vivian's shoulders and with a clean sweep of her legs, tripped Vivian and picked her up in a princess hug.

　"Hey! Alice! What are you doing?!"

　"What do you think," Alice glared at Vivian, "You ignored me for three days!"

　“Oh my…”

　Vivian turned her head away feeling a little guilty, while Alice smiled faintly and kissed her on the cheek.

　'Well, I understand,' Alice murmured, 'that's why I didn't bother you.'

　"Humph..."

　Vivian pouted and struggled for a few times before she won the right to walk independently.

　She looked into the room and saw Aurora sitting at the table, so she moved closer.

　"Xiaoshu, have you analyzed any information from my dream?"

　"Unfortunately, apart from your memories, only the remnants of those devoured by Poerseth Xia remain," Aurora shook her head. "But it's truly miraculous. The Ancient Dragon Hunter killed so many people and then devoured and erased their souls with icy flames, fusing them together. Finally, he burned you with icy flames during that battle, allowing you to see everything that happened in a strange way."

　"Is... is that so...?" Vivian muttered, "No wonder that dream... had multiple perspectives."

　"Yes, after all, Wanzhe, Linyu, and Linkmu were all killed by the Ancient Dragon Hunter himself," Aurora muttered. "No wonder Zuo Shangtang and the fleet weren't seen in that dream. He's still alive."

　"Yes, he's still alive."

　When Zuo Shangtang's name was mentioned, Vivian's face became noticeably more ferocious.

　Zuo Shangtang...As the prefect of Danzhou, even if he was just a puppet, he should still be held responsible for what happened back then.

　"I will bring him to justice," Vivian whispered, "I will make him confess his crime!"

　""

　Aurora glanced at Vivian with a complicated look, turned her head, and said:

　"Don't you hate humans? After all, you're the murderer who wiped out the whole family."

　"I hate those murderers, but as human beings..."

　Vivian turned her head and glanced at Alice who was talking with Xing Mo not far away, and said softly:

　"I love humans, and I hate humans."

　"That's really tiring," Aurora stuck out her tongue, "though I am too."

　"But turning into a monster like my brother... No, I won't become like that."

　Vivian nodded firmly, her eyes sparkling.

　This look surprised Aurora a little. She frowned, looked at Vivian, and said:

　"How did our little saint persuade you to come here?"

　“Soy milk and fried dough sticks!”

　"...ha?"

　“Soy milk and fried dough sticks!”

　"What do you mean? What are soy milk and fried dough sticks?"

　"food!"

　""

　Listening to the magical animal exchange meeting in the distance, Xingmo rubbed his temples with a helpless smile on his face.

　"What's the situation?" Xingmo asked Alice.

　"Danzhou Prefecture is temporarily under the control of Qiuniu, but he's basically not in charge of anything. He's just sitting there," Alice spread out her hands. "He seems... to have some restrictions?"

　"Restrictions..." Xing Mo rubbed his chin, "Does that mean he has concerns about not being able to take action directly?"

　"That's roughly what I'm talking about. You should talk to him about the details later. Riddle Dragon doesn't seem very willing to talk," Alice nodded. "Anyway, the Danzhou guards are already organizing their forces. They've decided to launch their first attack on Fort Howling in three days. They want to at least put pressure on Doreen Dubois to hand over Zuo Shangtang."

　Doreen Dubois, Lord of Whistling Keep and a known member of the Black Dragon Society.

　Her name, Xing Mo, was not unfamiliar: in Lin Yu's files, he relied on the power of Doreen Dubois to gradually grow bigger and bigger, and became a warlord-level figure in Danzhou.

　She should be a servant - that is, a high-ranking member of the Black Dragon Society, equivalent to an individual unit with strong execution capabilities, with strength between saints and demigods.

　But Xingmo guessed that Doreen Dubois was at least a demigod.

　At the end of the Dragon Boat Incident, due to the arrival of Aurora, the Ancient Dragon Hunter fled the venue, avoiding a second round of large-scale fighting.

　According to Ruan Lili and Mr. Cha's subsequent statements, Gu Longshou flew across the sea, probably to capture Zuo Shangtang.

　A long time later, near the estuary, the patrol discovered a destroyed mountain - it was speculated that it was destroyed by the ice flame, and the culprit was naturally the ancient dragon hunter.

　Zuo Shangtang was abducted from Mr. Cha by Doreen Dubois, which means... Doreen took Zuo Shangtang to avoid the ancient dragon hunter's pursuit.

　This is not something that can be escaped by spatial displacement. The ancient dragon hunter holds the string of truth. If he wants, he can definitely pull Doreen out.

　Being able to escape from such a harsh situation, Xingmo speculated that she was at least a demigod.

　She couldn't help but sigh. After Yan Xia, there were already nine known demigods with spiritual awareness, and now there was one more, Doreen, which was ten times the number of demigods that the academy had previously had.

　With so many demigods, if there were no checks and balances between the states of Yanxia,

　If it weren't for the existence of the Renyantang organization, perhaps they would have already launched large-scale conquests...

　Although Xing Mo estimated that a demigod like Professor Merlin who controlled the strings of fate could easily fight five people alone, if a large-scale supernatural war really broke out, the civilians would suffer.
