The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"……what?"

Xitana, who was about to reach out and pinch Ming Furo, was stunned. She asked in confusion: "Why? Is it because Anser is going to..."

"That place is difficult for you and A'Luo to approach, and even more so for Crow."

A dark color flashed across Anser's eyes, but his voice was still gentle: "So, I can go by myself, you go and rescue the civilians, Susilen will do her best to help."

Xitana wanted to say something, but Ming Fuluo pulled her back and shook her head slightly.

The wolf who looked at the world with new eyes still seemed unwilling to give up. She didn't seem to think that she couldn't help Anser, but after Ming Furo's silent and repeated dissuasion, she gave up.

She rubbed Anser hard, and said gently but confidently: "Since Anser said he wants to go by himself... then I won't say anything more. Anser will be fine anyway!"

The girl let go of the most important person in her life and turned towards the direction where the sky was torn apart. Even though the blazing blood and fire were reflected in her dark red eyes, it could not erase the even more intense rage.

Pure rage towards the person who started all this, towards the fate that put Anser in danger time and time again.

"Then... I'll go first, Anser!"

Xitana took a deep breath, turned back and took one last look at Anser, with a confident and resolute smile on her face:

"Although I'm not as fast as Ming Fuluo, I will definitely come as long as you call me!"

Ansher smiled and nodded slightly, and the encouraged Hitana felt full of strength all over her body. She waved at Ansher, clenched her fists, and the surging power flowed through her body and then burst out from under her feet. Amid a deafening explosion, her figure disappeared in an instant and went to the most dangerous place.

The dangerous aura of the Feasting Flame lingered around Hitana all the time. She could feel the threats coming from all directions, almost everywhere, but most of them were still very far away. She was rushing to the nearest direction with all her might, hoping to save more people in time.

"You run really fast."

An indifferent voice sounded in Xitana's ears, and the petite Ming Fuluo appeared on her shoulder at some point and sat steadily.

"Or wait for them to be burned to death?" Xitana replied unhappily, glancing at Ming Fuluo, "Hey, dwarf, why don't you let me talk to Anser more? What if we can help him?"

Ming Furo also got used to Xitana calling her "dwarf" when she had something to do and when she had nothing to do. Anyway, most of the time she called Xitana "stupid dog", and occasionally called her "puppy". The two of them got along just fine.

The petite scholar was silent for a long time, and then said in a complicated tone: "Your intuition has always been very sharp, don't tell me... you didn't feel that Anser might be a little strange."

"..."

Xitana didn't say anything, but the fact that she slowed down her pace for a moment made Ming Fuluo realize that she must have noticed it.

The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became dull. Whether it was Ming Furo's understanding of Ansher or Xitana's intuition, they could quickly notice the change in Ansher's mood.

Of course, it's not just because of this, but more because Anther had long been on guard against them. Otherwise, no matter how well Ming Furo knew Anther, and no matter how perceptive Xitana was, it would be difficult for them to detect Anther's current psychological changes.

——He could almost fool his own mother when he was ten years old, so how could he not be able to fool two girls now?

"I'm just... suggesting a possibility."

It was Ming Fuluo who broke the silence: "Do you and I have some misunderstanding about Anser? He may not be very willing to save--"

"How can it be!"

Xitana interrupted Ming Fuluo almost immediately: "Do you want to say that Anser is a bad person, Ming Fuluo?"

"...You have too strong a filter for Anser, Sitana."

Ming Furo was mentally prepared for Xitana's stress reaction. She did not ridicule her in an overly harsh tone, but warned her very seriously.

"I know he helped you a lot, but if you can't even face those things, then you are just wishful thinking and indulging in your fantasy about Anser."

"What we need to do is give Anser help... and not deceive ourselves that he has never committed any evil deeds."

Ming Furo thought that if this point was not made clear, sooner or later, Xitana would have an irreconcilable conflict with Ansher.

As a result, Sitana's answer stunned her.

"Who told you... that I was deceiving myself?"

Xitana ran wildly with a puzzled look on her face: "Have you forgotten what I said when I was promoted?"

Knowing that Anther had committed countless evil deeds due to the pressure of fate, and knowing that Anther was still like this until now - that's what Sitana said at that time, she had never avoided Anther's sins.

It is for this reason that she hopes Ansel will depend on her, and she is determined to crush fate and give Ansel more choices.

"Since you know this clearly," Ming Fuluo said in a deep voice, "then is there anything wrong with the point I made earlier?"

"I remember you thought that Anser actually wanted to get better, didn't he?"

However, Xitana still did not directly answer the question, but asked in return: "Why do you change your mind now?"

"Because of his hesitation - don't forget, except Anser, no one can escape the control of fate."

Ming Fuluo's voice became much colder: "No matter how careful I am, and try my best not to become an obstacle for Anser to fight against fate, it is impossible to guard against the changes in my inner thoughts all the time... It's the same for you, isn't it?"

Hitana's speed became slower and she was not fully focused on rescuing civilians, which was enough to show the shock in Hitana's heart.

"You mean..." She whispered in disbelief, "Is fate already using us to deal with Anser? When?"

“All the time.”

Ming Fuluo's expression was somewhat gloomy. "I'm trying to disassemble my own thoughts... but I can't find any abnormal ideas that shouldn't appear. But I still made an assumption. I assume that it is fate that pushes us. I think Anser has goodness in his heart, and it is fate that forces us to give him this expectation."

"Anser, who cares about us, is unwilling to disappoint our trust and vision, and then gradually fall into the quagmire we created. Then we—"

"No." Xitana shook her head, "I don't believe it."

"It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not!" Ming Fuluo was a little anxious, "Only Anser has the experience of fighting against fate. We simply cannot tell from our own thinking what the result of fate is!"

Xitana didn't say anything, but just ran in silence. She seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to... not want to face it.

Unable to bear the silence, Ming Fuluo raised her voice: "Xitana! You——"

"Ming Fuluo."

Xitana said softly: "I underestimated you. It must be difficult to consider so many things."

"You..." Ming Fuluo's voice choked and she said angrily, "Now is not the time to discuss how I am. When it comes to hard work, what I consider cannot be compared with Anser. If you really feel sorry for me, think carefully about what I just said!"

"I'm not being stubborn, nor am I talking nonsense... You are usually very calm, but now you seem to be confused and even worse than me."

Xitana rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Since you know what you are doing in charge of destiny, why do you still think so much? How can you guarantee that your current fanciful thoughts and confusion are not the purpose of destiny?"

"I……"

Ming Fuluo was choked by Xitana's words and didn't know how to respond.

"When I say I believe in Anser, it's not because I've forgotten the bad things Anser has done, nor is it because I'm obsessed with him and have lost my mind."

Just as Ming Furo rarely showed anxiety and anger, Xitana also rarely... or almost never, put on a very patient attitude to explain.

"Because Anser is that kind of person... You have also seen Anser's memories, right?"

The girl looked matter-of-fact, and her tone was full of yearning: "He clearly wants to make this world a better place. He is more eager to change everything than anyone else. Did you see him showing any sign of annoyance when he was changing Hydra Territory bit by bit?"

"If it weren't for that bastard Fate..." Veins popped out at Xitana's temples, and the cruelty in her eyes was evident, "The Empire would have long ceased to be what it is now!"

After several seconds, she suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and continued, "What's more, Sister Aini and Mr. Flamel also hope that Anser can become a kind person."

"He never intended to be a bad person. Everything was forced by fate. It was fate that left him no choice."

"So." Xitana turned to look at Ming Fuluo, her expression unchanged, "We have to make efforts to make Anser become the person he expected to be."

But at this point, everything is back to the starting point. Xitana...has never responded to Ming Furo's original question.

She just said that she must help Ansher, but she couldn't answer. They all sensed the hesitation and wavering in Ansher's heart...what exactly caused it.

In the end, Ming Furo just sighed and said nothing more.

Of course, she knew what Anelisa expected of Anser, but she also remembered another sentence from Anelisa. It was that sentence that made Ming Furo question her own thoughts.

[Don't let my wishes become your burden, your shackles, your cage]

That gentle and great mother said these words to her children.

Lady Anelsa was unwilling to become Anser's shackles.

So will my vision be a burden to Anser?

What kind of person does Anser want to be?

Chapter 66: The Crazy Crown Prince

It wasn't that Ansher deliberately sent Mingfruo and Xitana away, or that he deliberately didn't want to help them save the civilians under the skyfire. The current problem was indeed unsolvable for the two of them.

——Anther himself could not extinguish the flames of this level.

Hydra flew into the sky and looked at the bloody crack in the distance. It looked like a mark that was torn apart abruptly, which made Ansor fall into deep thought.

"Given Ivora's mastery of space, her technique shouldn't be so blunt and rough."

He looked further away, and in the distance as far as Anser could see, there was a jagged crack that looked like it had been gnawed and torn by an animal. It was the door to another maze.

This method of tearing open the dimensional barriers forcibly is not in line with Ivora's ability and aesthetics, but being able to tear open thirty-five... oh, now it's thirty-six, tearing open a total of thirty-six doors to the maze in this plane at the same time, this incredible thing should be something that only she can do.

Anser's figure flashed, and in a flash he arrived in front of the rift. A heat wave that could easily burn the respiratory tract and internal organs hit him in the face, but Anser not only did not frown because of the brutally high temperature, but instead showed a look of surprise.

"This intensity..."

The young man stretched out his hand towards the bloody feasting flame, but he did not cover it with the breath of the abyss in advance as he did before when he was deliberately intimidating the grand dukes. Instead, he reached in directly.

The ferocious blood flame immediately engulfed Ansher's palm, but when the dark strange substance covered it, the flame that had dominated mankind for tens of thousands of years was instantly extinguished.

"It can be easily overwhelmed without any prior protection... The strength is much lower than before."

This is proof that the push of fate is still within a reasonable range. With this intensity, a normal fifth-order transcendent would not be burned to death by this blood flame. There are plenty of ways to deal with it.

But for low-level extraordinary people and civilians... it is still an absolute disaster.

Anser put his hands behind his back and whispered to himself, "Let's go in and take a look first."

When faced with the endless blood flames before, he was able to break into them directly and escape unscathed. If it were just this intensity, it would be no problem at all.

The subtle breath of the abyss wrapped around Hydra's body. Anser ignored the raging flames and stepped straight into the door.

But the moment he entered the door to the maze, his expression changed.

Because as soon as he went in, he came out again.

From another door.

Outside, the tall and burly man riding a giant dragon was looking at him in surprise.

"Hydra... Your Excellency?"

Olementine asked tentatively, but a storm was brewing in his heart.

Why did Hydra suddenly appear here? Could it be that he has discovered...

Ansher came back to his senses, turned his head to look at the door to the maze, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose.

"This is really... interesting."

He chuckled twice, then looked at the Dragon Lord Olementin and said gently, "What a coincidence, Lord Dragon Lord."

"...Yes." Grand Duke Long Yu lowered his head slightly, "I didn't expect you to come out of this door. May I ask what exactly... happened?"

"I originally wanted to enter the gate of the maze above the Silent City of Grand Duke Blood Dust to find out what was going on, but I didn't expect..."

The young Hydra tilted his head and looked at the door in front of him: "I'm here in a blink of an eye."

"this--"

The expression of the Duke of Dragon Language froze slightly. He was confused by this incredible statement, and shocked that Anser dared to go straight into the door that might be filled with the flames of feasting.

He had also tested and confirmed that this doomsday-like feasting flame was even weaker than the flame that first appeared in Honggu City, but this did not prevent him from being extremely wary of it.

"maze."

Anser said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"Behind the door is a maze, a maze of space."

The word "space" immediately triggered the alarm in Grand Duke Longyu's heart. He stared at the door from which endless blood flames gushed out, but there was still some light falling behind Anser.

"You mean, His Highness Ivora?"

"Yes." Anser's tone was still cheerful, even amused. "Besides her, I can't think of anyone else who can open thirty-six doors to the maze at the same time, and use such a delicate technique to connect the worlds inside the doors, turning it into a huge maze."

"Used to..."

The terrifying aura unique to Hydra instantly burst out from Ansor's tall and straight body. The dancing black air that was perfectly controlled outlined the huge shadow of a nine-headed demon snake in the sky, as if it was a doomsday demon that wanted to swallow even the sun in one gulp. Even though it was still vaguely missing five heads, it already had the inviolable majesty of a god.

The giant dragon under Grand Duke Long Yu's crotch immediately lost control, its dark golden vertical pupils were full of fear, it kept flapping its huge wings, and its panic-stricken look was just like a lizard with its tail stepped on, not at all like a continental overlord. If Grand Duke Long Yu hadn't tried his best to comfort it, it would have fallen directly from mid-air.

"Protecting her own maze."
