I really didn't want to burn it.

"Yes, someone is trying to seduce me."

Hearing this, Mashu rolled her eyes dismissively. "How much did you drink to crave peaches like that?"

Li Ang quipped, "So, after all this time apart, did Mash go to Zaun for further studies? Or maybe a Chinese language course?"

Mashu crossed her arms, her face slightly flushed, and turned her head to the side.

"Don't overthink it! Leon... you did something so outrageous! We... we Chaldea will never forgive you!"

"I understand. Chaldea will not forgive me, but you will."

Li Ang nodded knowingly.

“No way!” Mashu retorted loudly. “Why would you think that?!”

Snapped.

Ritsuka clapped her hands forcefully.

"You two can flirt anytime, and I wouldn't mind adding me later, but could you consider the current situation first?"

"Humph."

Mashu gave a heavy snort and walked to the side to gently stroke Fou. Phil had not participated in the final battle because he was injured while capturing the Bull of Heaven and was recuperating in the Ark's cabin.

"Fufu~"

Fou comfortably squinted its eyes and stuck out its little tongue to lick Mashu's fingertips.

"Haha, it's so itchy."

Mashu smiled happily.

It's true that when you're in a bad mood, playing with small animals can greatly relieve psychological stress.

"A lewd beast."

Li Ang coldly stared at Fufu, whose body was half-buried in the marshmallow.

"Li Ang, don't argue with those little animals. There will be other opportunities in the future."

Ritsuka patted Li Ang on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"..."

Li Ang didn't want to talk to her.

"Alright, enough joking around." Ritsuka's smile faded, and she asked seriously, "Li Ang, what's the situation right now?"

"Riding a tiger is a difficult situation."

Li Ang shook his head slightly and whispered to the mourning system in a voice only he could hear.

What would happen if I forced my way through the black passage?

[Next year during the Qingming Festival, your grave will be very lively, because the King of Britain, the Greek goddess, the Roman emperor, and the Qin emperor will all be there to trim the grass on your grave.]

"Although there's nothing wrong with adding Ah Zheng, it just feels a bit strange," Li Ang muttered to himself.

Ritsuka, standing to the side, looked at Li Ang with the kind of care one would give a patient.

"Ahem. The passageway is fixed in place; it only allows us to go that way." Li Ang pointed to the pale gold road.

"Can't things be changed?"

"There's no other way. My current condition is terrible. If I rashly change course, I might get caught in a strange spacetime rift, and things would get even worse."

"So our only option is to go to that unknown singularity?"

“Yes.” Li Ang scratched his hair and said with a troubled expression, “Not to mention the danger of the singularity itself, we might encounter King Solomon again after we arrive.”

"So you want to go back to the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yeah, Zheng is definitely no less than that guy."

Of course, there are also his beautiful wives and concubines in the Qin State Preceptor's mansion, so he can enjoy a life of luxury as soon as he returns.

However, in the current situation, let alone enjoying happiness, it would be good enough if they weren't caught by Goetia.

Although Getia said he wouldn't kill Li Ang, there are many ways to torture someone.

Given Li Ang's past record of secretly assaulting Goetia's anus, Goetia will definitely try every means to torture him once she catches him.

Moreover, and more importantly, it is necessary to protect the safety of the Chaldea duo.

Goetia wouldn't kill himself, but Mash and Ritsuka might.

"Anyway, Ritsuka, please be careful when entering the new singularity."

Li Ang reminded the duo, "Don't worry about me in this critical moment, just run! And Mashu, you must protect your senior's safety."

"This... seems impossible."

Ritsuka smiled bitterly, revealing the handcuffs on her wrists.

“I’d forgotten about it if you hadn’t mentioned it…” Li Ang shook his handcuffed hands. “We still need to figure out how to get this sorted out.”

It has to be said that handcuffs are quite a strange thing.

Without handcuffs, Li Ang wouldn't have been able to take Ritsuka away immediately.

But it was precisely because of the gloves that he and Ritsuka were forced to stay together.

"Anyway, once we get there, we'd better figure out how to unlock it."

With this in mind, Li Ang put his arms around the two women, one on each side, and led them along the pale golden passage into the unknown new world.

Li Ang saw the surrounding space tremble violently, and his whole body was distorted due to the change in spacetime.

"Ugh... I feel dizzy and lightheaded. As expected, this simplified spell has no advantages other than not using much magic power!"

"Li Ang, shut your mouth!"

Unable to stand Li Ang's nagging any longer, Mashu shouted.

But before Li Ang could even respond, the scenery before the three of them underwent a dramatic transformation.

"so white."

This is visual feedback.

"It's so cold."

This is a physical sensation.

Amidst the frantic howling in their ears, Li Ang found themselves in a world covered in silver.

"Where is this place?"

Braving the wind and snow, Mashu asked loudly.

“That’s not important,” Li Ang replied. “I just want a down jacket out here as soon as possible; I’m freezing.”

After saying that, Li Ang and the other two fell to the white ground like shooting stars.

"Hmm? Have we had guests?"

In a magnificent palace, a woman slowly raises her head and looks into the distance through the glass-like ceiling.

"This aura... it's a bit strange?"

The woman stood on the golden floor of the great temple, a look of confusion on her face.

"Lady Skadi."

A young girl in military uniform appeared behind the woman and knelt down on one knee in front of her.

"We have guests from out of town."

Skadi gently squeezed the wand in her hand and spoke to the girl.

"Guests from out of town?"

The girl found this request very strange.

"Yes, you go find them and then determine their intentions."

Skadi spoke with an undeniable air of authority.

"I understand. But..."

The girl hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "Should we inform Lord Thor?"

Skadi gave the girl a cold look before refusing, "No need. Lord Odin is asleep right now, and he already has enough to deal with. There's no need to bother him with such trivial matters."

"I know."

The girl lowered her head.

After the girl left, Skadi sat on the magnificent chair in the palace.

She stared at the ornate carvings on the ceiling, deep in thought.

"This is a crucial moment in the plan, and an outsider has broken in... Is there some reason for this? Could it be..."

Skadi's gaze turned to the other end of the palace gate. The luxurious and magnificent decorations on the gate revealed the noble status of the person behind it.

“Odin… was this your doing?” Skadi stroked her chin, her face frosty. “You really are persistent…”

Unfortunately, there was no response to Skadi's mutterings; the empty palace remained silent.

Skadi didn't expect anyone to talk to her. She leaned back in her chair, propping her face up with one hand, like a languid noblewoman.

"Honestly, what's wrong with letting Asgard's glory continue forever? Odin... do you really want to die that badly? Let the gods continue, until he returns home..."

Skadi slowly closed her eyes, as if talking to herself, or perhaps murmuring in her sleep.

With her gorgeous long purple hair, fair and delicate skin, and exquisitely beautiful face, Skadi confidently believed that she was in no way inferior to the goddess Freya.

Swish.

Her long, purple hair cascaded down naturally, outlining the goddess's perfect appearance.

At this moment, Skadi was like a flawless painting, but unfortunately, no one could appreciate her unparalleled beauty.

Skadi, already fast asleep, didn't care; she had been alone for many years.

What is a person...

As Skadi drifted off to sleep, she felt as if she had returned to many years ago, to that blissful moment that she would never forget.

On that day, she was a bride blessed by the gods.

That day, she found the love of her life.

That day...

"Li Ang, when are you coming back?"

The goddess whispered her wishes in her dream.
