Quit the team, then picked up a beautiful girl with problems

"You and Grandpa killed all the bad guys before, right?"

"The mastermind has been brought to justice."

"Where are the henchmen?"

Li Ang was somewhat surprised that she would ask about those people. He asked, "Did they scare you when they were in the village?"

"No." Meimei shook her head.

After a brief thought, she said, "It's just that I think that we must eradicate all evil. I've heard stories like this before."

"Big brother, if you meet these people next time, you must kill them all."

Leon didn't understand where her idea came from, but this conclusion was now beyond doubt. At first, he and Otto were inclined to torture them, but the people in the empire were all like suicide monsters, and there was no chance of ordinary torture.

If there's a chance, he still has to use spiritual drive to wear down the opponent's will and conduct direct mental questioning, but overall there's no problem in eliminating their thinking, so he nodded to the girl.

Meimei seemed to be still unsatisfied. Her little hand tightly grasped the fork, and it took a long time for her to relax.

"Where will you go in the future?" said the girl.

"The next island should be the Rudder City, right?" Leon said with a smile. "We've been looking forward to this for a long time. We came to Mengze Island just to build an airship. It will be our future home."

This reply didn't seem to satisfy Meimei: "And then? Are you going to be enemies with the Empire?"

Li Ang was silent for a moment because of this sentence.

The answer to the question is of course yes, and the reason is Zoe.

He had barely read the main storyline of "Newbis Fantasy" before, only knowing that the final enemy in the first stage of the game was the Holy Sporial Empire. And no matter what game it was, the villain that ended up being the final enemy of a major chapter was bound to be no simple villain.

This is also the reason why Li Ang resisted picking up the wild cat at first, but now that he has adopted it, he has to deal with the subsequent troubles at the same time.

But as the empire reveals what they hide behind, the road becomes increasingly difficult and dangerous.

If this force eventually spreads the flames of war to the entire sky, then regardless of whether Leon chooses to join Zoe or not, he will still have to fight against it. The order of the Ignis airspace alone cannot be maintained by Alafia.

"If I meet them, of course I will take action."

"What if it fails?"

"What do you mean?"

Li Ang wondered if what happened yesterday had a big impact on her.

"What if you and your girlfriends failed before the might of the Empire... or the monsters they brought with them?"

Li Ang looked at Meimei carefully and said, "I didn't realize you were such a pessimist."

The child's words did not make him feel bad, but he realized that Meimei was not what she seemed.

Meimei wanted to say something, but she felt her head being covered by a soft and warm hand.

"I won't let it get to that point."

Li Ang's voice was serious.

"But what if your friends and family members fall one after another in front of you, and even though you don't want things to get to that point, you can't stop them? What should you do—"

Li Ang sighed and rubbed the child's head. Although she had her hair in braids, a few of her hairs stood up.

"Everything we do today, yesterday, and tomorrow is to become stronger so we can face powerful enemies in the future."

Li Ang said, "If the enemy is too strong, I will take them all and run away together. If the enemy is too strong, I will run to the end of the sky."

When she heard about escape, Meimei's expression changed slightly.

"What if the world ends and there's no escape?"

Children just like to get to the bottom of things.

If it was Zoe who asked this question, Leon would have hit her head long ago. The girl in front of him was too young and not familiar enough, so Leon could only stand up.

"When forming a team, my goal is to ensure that everyone in the group can actually help each other and work as one. This is done to defeat strong enemies and prevent any bad things from happening.

"If I really want to imagine the most extreme scenario, I would definitely die before them. I don't know what would happen to them after that."

Li Ang felt that the conversation had been exhausted by the little girl. He stretched and said, "Okay, I'm going back first. You should digest it and rest early."

He rode the wind and flew towards the portal, wondering where the pink rabbit would go.

Maybe he went to the armor in the underground cave? Let's go check it out first.

Leon flew into the portal.

In the air, the figure of the old swordsman jumped down from the edge of the island rock peak. He came to Meimei and saw the barbecue lunch box.

"Leon has been here?"

"Yeah." The girl answered him softly.

"I don't know where that big bird flew off to. It's also water-attributed. I think it was attracted to the water element of Mengze Island, which is very compatible with this world. I didn't catch it, and it disappeared. I need to remind the villagers to pay attention these days. Meimei, you too, try not to run around, and be careful at all times."

"Ok."

Meimei nodded and said in a very low voice, "It's okay."

After Otto left, the girl still sat quietly on the eaves, looking at the sky, as if she felt something.

When Li Ang just said that he was going to die in front, he didn't notice that her whole body trembled.

"Die before others?"

The girl's expression showed a sadness that shouldn't belong to her age. "I can't do that. All I can do is abandon everyone and keep running, running... You're so gentle, what should I do?"

Meimei stood up, and her whole body dissolved like running water.

In the forest, her figure reunited. In front of her was the big bird that had just flown over Huanwo Village and attracted Otto away.

The moonlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, and at this moment it could be clearly seen that the big bird itself was made of water, but the power of this water was too thick and compressed to the extreme, appearing a deep abyss of dark blue.

The girl waved her hand and the spirit in the big bird was drawn out and held in her palm.

"Magic Diver, I didn't know there was such a profession. Splitting and duplicating spirits to create familiars is really useful."

After she dispersed from the giant bird's form, she just stood silently in the woods, not afraid of the shadows around her and the chill of the night.

"What should I do..."

Meimei just kept repeating the same words, her tone sobbing and complaining, until her voice became smaller and smaller.

As the forest grew quieter and darker as night fell, she still stood in the shadows, as if she had merged into the quiet darkness.

"who!?"

Meimei suddenly looked up, and with a spiritual reaction that was enough to make her tremble, she disappeared into the forest behind her at such a fast speed that she could not follow her.

257. The Resurrection of the Sea Dragon

"Mr. Mizutsuki, Mr. Mizutsuki?"

Leon called out from the hollow underground cave.

The steel giant was silent, and the sea dragon skeleton had long since merged into the soil and rocks. Apart from the fluctuations of the water element spirit transmitted by the water crystals all over the ground, there was no movement here.

Li Ang tried to think about how Meimei communicated with the rabbit. She was born with the ability to use spiritual methods to connect with all the water spirits on this water island. He also wanted to imitate this method to do something similar.

Sensing the water spirit throughout the cave, he moved it again, trying to make the rabbit notice that he was looking for it.

After a while of busy work, there was no response.

"Strange, where did that dead rabbit go?" Li Ang said to himself.

"Here's the dead rabbit."

He felt his head sink, and Yueyintu, with its body limp, suddenly appeared.

"Well," said the Water Dragon, "I came out later just to see if you were scolding me, and sure enough, you were."

"You heard me wrong. I clearly said 'a rabbit-like dragon'."

"Bullshit!"

Yueyintu gave him a few punches on the head that felt like cotton, then stepped on his shoulders and jumped into his arms.

Sniffing the lunch box, Leon said, "This is for you."

"Rabbit can't eat meat, thank you for your kindness."

She put her hands on her hips and said, "Want to please me?"

"Yes." Li Ang said frankly.

"Well, you have some sincerity, but it's not very effective. Keep working on it."

Aqua nodded and explained further.

"I'm not being picky. The rabbit you see is just a rabbit. My dragon incarnation is powerful because I have the knowledge to control it, but I'm limited by my rabbit body. There's nothing I can't do. Even if you asked me to fight a 9th level or a legend, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Li Ang nodded, but then he heard her say, "However, the cooking skills are far inferior to the barbecue restaurant in the Trade City, and you haven't prepared any beer yet."

Li Ang felt his fist harden.

"Besides delivering the barbecue and calling Ben Long out, is there anything else?"

Originally, there was no such thing, but after the conversation just now, there is one now.

Li Ang frowned slightly and asked, "When did you become Meimei's pet?"

"It was shortly after Leviathan's power was revived. I can't remember exactly, but she was just a tiny girl then, maybe half her height now."

Half the height?

Meimei now looks to be in her early teens, and she is not very strong. If she is not even half her current height, even with the exaggerated description of a rabbit, she may be four or five years old.

"Why are you asking this?" The Water Dragon was curious.

"She is not an ordinary child," Li Ang continued.

"Of course, otherwise why would this dragon be interested in her? Wait, you harem bastard, are you planning to make a move on her?"

"It has nothing to do with this."

What Li Ang wanted to say was extraordinary was not her talent, but her worry and anxiety about the future. Even a child from a complicated family situation on modern Earth, living in an uneasy environment, might not be able to successfully weave her emotions into such negative assumptions about the future.

"Does she really have no other abilities besides spiritual gifts and affinity with water? For example, prophecy?"

Li Ang had just checked it with the game panel, and it showed that she was just an ordinary child.

However, not all of the game system's observations can be displayed. First, it was Faronio, and then the Moon Hidden Rabbit. None of them could show what they were hiding.

"How could that be? I've been with her day and night, and she's just an ordinary child. She had never used any powers before she met Otto and you."

Li Ang asked this, and although Rabbit denied it outright, Li Ang had already noticed that she was a little unconfident.

"Alas, but I'm really just a rabbit right now. If she's really that complicated and hiding something, I can't sense it. That child is a person with her own ideas."

Aqua continued to say that the so-called incarnation of the gods is not the "clone" or "transformation" of the gods, but a fake body that the original body relies on because it cannot appear in the world for some reason.

"Because all the water elements in the world are one, this dragon possesses aspects of the Six Water Dragons and the Ancestor of the Sea Dragon. Mortals understand this as one soul with multiple bodies. The water power of this island doesn't belong to the water dragons that support the world, but to the deceased sea dragons. Diana has been nourishing the waters here for years, allowing the sea dragon's power to revive. This tiny bit of power formed the incarnation of the Moon Rabbit, so this is several levels of barrier between this dragon and me."

She stared at Li Ang fiercely: "You don't think Benlong is unreliable, do you?"

Li Ang didn't respond immediately, so she immediately said anxiously: "No way? You can't do that?"

"Kind of."

Now, Meimei was clearly different, and while that was asking too much of a rabbit, it would indeed undermine the god's dignity if she was completely unaware.

Yueyin Rabbit was so angry that his fur stood on end: "Okay, okay, I will send the incarnation of the Trade City over right away."

"Can you tell anything when you come here?"

"Don't you dare believe me?!"

The rabbit punched again and again.

"It's not that I don't trust you, I just want to broaden my horizons."

"Okay, okay, next time there's a Six Dragons gathering, let that weird-breasted agent take you to the Six Dragons Divine Realm so you can feel the majesty of the gods."

Stop talking, it's becoming less and less cool.

"Never mind. This dragon has been looked down upon for a long time."

Yueyintu looked very aggrieved: "If the water bodies of the islands continue to drain away, one day this dragon will be completely destroyed."

"Is there any way to fix it?"
