A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut.

However, the boss didn't say anything about it, so it seems that Naruko paid too much.

“Did we scare someone?” Eric asked Alice, pointing to the doorway.

"Colonel, you're the one who scared them away." Alice calmly concealed the fact that she had exuded an aura of power.

"If you're not eating, could you go buy me some souvenirs?" After emptying the plate in front of her, she ordered another dish.

"No, you're eating way too much."

"Colonel, you won't have the energy to work if you don't eat properly. I hope you can understand that this is a normal need of mine."

“Okay, okay, normal needs,” Eric replied irritably, stroking his chin.

---

"Whoa...that was scary. Bray's friends really are all menacing." Naruko patted her chest.

"Yeah!" Nia pumped her fist in agreement.

Naruko figured that if she said anything more, the two of them would devour her whole.

However, she didn't think she had said anything wrong.

Is that the phrase used to pressure people into marriage? People these days are really not frank enough.

"But Nia is really strong; she didn't even cry because her uncle and aunt were scared."

As expected of my daughter, she inherited this courage from me.

The less she resembles her father, the better, because the more she resembles him, the more abnormal she is.

Just then, Naruko smelled a floral fragrance.

Although it smells nice, it's not the kind of light, comforting floral scent.

The strong flavor made Naruko feel a little uncomfortable.

"This child is quite adorable." A slightly seductive voice rang in my ears.

Naruko couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

A somewhat aloof, black-haired woman stopped beside Naruko and her daughter at some point.

The woman's attire was also eye-catching; she wore a red and black robe, like a blood-red rose blooming in the darkness.

At first, Naruko took a few steps back.

Naruko's intuition told her that something was off about this woman.

"Waaaaaah!! Waaaaah!!!!" Nia suddenly started crying uncontrollably.

"She's crying? Looks like I scared her." The woman said in a very slow voice.

If someone were to compare this to the wanted poster, they would discover that this woman is Ye Shuang.

He is also the current leader of the "Mathematical Society," standing openly in the street.

She seemed completely unafraid of being discovered or captured, and even had the mood to talk to Naruko and her mother.

She should have been in the Northern Continent, so it's puzzling that she's come to the Central Continent at this critical juncture.

"No, I'm probably just hungry." Naruko continued chatting calmly on the surface, but in reality, she was looking for an opportunity to slip away.

First and foremost, she needed to leave this woman's side; otherwise, Naruko would always feel uneasy.

“She looks a lot like the child someone mentioned.” Night Frost reached out her fair hand, wanting to touch Nia’s face.

“Although he told me not to have any contact with the child, but…” She narrowed her eyes.

Naruko used her arm to block Yoshino from touching her child.

Just as Ye Shuang was about to do something, her movements suddenly stopped.

She looked warily to her left.

There was nothing on the left side of the street, of course, but there was something on the clock tower in the distance that caught her attention.

"I didn't expect that someone would be watching you all the time." Ye Shuang withdrew her hand and smiled.

"Is that why you won't let me run into you?" she muttered to herself, then leisurely walked away.

They appeared suddenly, and then suddenly disappeared.

Two graceful figures can be seen on the outer beam of the clock tower.

It would probably take someone with very good eyesight to see the two people sitting there clearly.

But once you see them clearly, you'll definitely be captivated by their beauty.

Unfortunately, these two are not human, but two dragons that are temporarily existing in human form.

"Sister, are we really not going to bother with this human?" Xiaoxue, with her ponytail draped over her shoulder, looked at her sister with a puzzled expression.

Her long, snow-white hair was tied into a braid and draped over her shoulders, making her look very virtuous and giving people a mature and steady feeling.

It would be even better if His eyes didn't radiate that glowing heart when He looked at His sister beside Him.

"Don't worry about it, it'll be too much trouble if you try to manage it." Xiao You's long, black hair was draped over her shoulders, fluttering in the wind above.

He tidied his long, flowing hair and looked at the distant night frost.

"I tried to curse this human, but it doesn't seem to be working very well," Xiaoyou said to Xiaoxue.

The moment Ye Shuang showed malice, Xiao You cast a curse upon her.

However, the effect was not as obvious as expected.

Normal humans should have no resistance to concepts, after all, not everyone has a strange longsword like Bray.

Thinking about it this way, this woman who harbors ill will towards Naruko and Nia seems to be quite something as well.

Although not as forceful as Bray, who could completely suppress a weaker concept, the concept had a much smaller effect on this woman.

However, it's not entirely without effect; we'll see the specifics in a little while.

"Isn't the concept particularly effective for her?" Xiaoxue also fell into deep thought.

They naturally didn't know that Ye Shuang had a black ring in her hand, and this ring was the reason why Ye Shuang absorbed some of the influence of the concepts.

In any case, this ring is something that can snatch a part of the wearer's fate.

Moreover, the fact that Night Frost can withstand the concept is definitely not just due to the ring.

"What should we do? She seems to have designs on Naruko and Nia," Xiaoxue said.

If Ye Shuang insists on doing something, Xiao Xue thinks it's better to be more decisive.

"Huh? Looks like he's gone." Xiao You pointed at Ye Shuang's departing figure and said with some surprise.

"She seems to have seen us." Xiaoxue noticed the glance Ye Shuang gave her before leaving.

"But that's fine too. If we get serious with her, things will probably get pretty messy." Bai Long sighed.

The twin dragons are not afraid of a mere human; there is another reason why they did not act rashly.

"We absolutely cannot let this get too big." Xiao You inexplicably shivered.

As a black dragon, Xiao You was naturally not afraid of Ye Shuang.

Night Frost is indeed a bit troublesome to deal with, but Xiao You won't feel any pressure if it comes down to it.

The one who put the most pressure on Xiaoyou was actually the dead fish-eyed guy who was sunbathing at home.

The cold war was also because of that guy.

"If that guy finds out we're causing trouble, he'll definitely get violent." A subtle expression appeared on Xiao You's usually cold face.

Xiao You was deeply impressed by what Bray had said on her back.

"Why do you smell of blood?"

"I just killed an eagle."

"Same as us?"

--"Um."

--"Why?"

—"I don't like it."

"Absolutely not, can, let, him, dislike, me." Xiao You said, enunciating each word clearly, her tone so serious that Xiao Xue was stunned.

"Sister, are you talking about Mr. Bray?"

“That’s right, that guy will kill any Silver Species he doesn’t like,” Xiao You said solemnly to her sister.

This is a very serious matter and cannot be taken lightly.

This concerns the lives of their two young dragons.

Afterwards, Xiao You specifically asked Nicol Bolas about it and learned that Bray had not killed a simple Silver Being, but a demigod with many legends.

"Sister, you're shaking so badly," Xiaoxue said, her feelings complicated.

"Mr. Bray can't be that scary, can he?"

Although Xiaoxue knew that Bray was quite dangerous and that she was not the type to casually use a knife.

If Bray were more irritable, his two dragons would have been sashimi long ago, and they wouldn't have had the chance to sit here enjoying the breeze.

"No, that guy is absolutely terrifying!" Xiao You said with unwavering conviction.

"Even so, if that woman is going to hurt Naruko and Nia, and we intervene, he won't blame us no matter what," Xiaoxue said to her sister after thinking for a moment.

"!" Xiao You was startled, suddenly realizing this.

That guy is surprisingly protective of his own. If he caused trouble with Yuki because of Naruko and Nia, he probably wouldn't get killed.

Who knows, that guy might even thank the two sisters.

Thinking of this, Xiao You suddenly felt motivated and stood directly on the beam.

His slender figure seemed as if he could be blown over by the strong winds at any moment, yet he managed to stand firm in the wind for so long.

"Sister, what do you want to do?" Xiaoxue looked up and asked.

Xiao You brushed her slightly messy long hair aside and looked down at the miniature city below with an aloof expression.

She has a very cool and aloof image, and would be even more perfect if it weren't for the following sentence.

"Transform into a dragon and devour that woman in one gulp," Xiao You said.

"Sister, calm down!" Xiaoxue suddenly shouted, suppressing Xiaoyou, who was about to transform into a dragon.

If Xiao You really transforms into a dragon here, things will really get out of hand.

“It’s alright, Bray won’t blame us.”

"That's not the problem; the problem is that the human has disappeared."

"Gone?" Xiaoxue's words finally calmed Xiaoyou down.

Xiao You frowned and scanned the city below, only to discover that the human from before was indeed gone.

While He was discussing with Xiaoxue, He quietly faded from their perception.

Xiao You was certain that the human was still in the city, but probably had noticed them and had hidden himself away.

"What a coward. He was so brazenly spreading his aura before, as if he was afraid others wouldn't notice," Xiao You said disdainfully.

"It's a bit of a pity, but let's keep an eye on Naruko and Nia." Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her sister had calmed down.

"This is the only way." Xiao You was already used to being a bodyguard.

However, he didn't have much of a problem with being Naruko's bodyguard. Naruko had been his teacher for a period of time and taught him a lot about the principles of being a dragon.

"Xiaoxue, is there anything to eat?"

"Of course~" Xiaoxue smiled and then took out a breadstick from her chest.

"..." Xiao You took it without saying a word, and glanced at Xiao Xue's weapon without leaving a trace.

Why would they take food out of this strange place?

But Xiaoyou only thought about it for a second.
