He asked Shirley about her condition with concern, and Shirley, who looked pale and barely breathing, replied, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

This is truly an example of lying with open eyes.

Shirley had no intention of increasing the distance between herself and Fike, but now that she was temporarily safe, a question came to Shirley's mind, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of it.

The question is, why did Fei Ke come to save himself?

·

Shirley is not ungrateful or ungrateful. On the contrary, she is extremely grateful to Fei Ke for risking his life to save her and her family.

However, precisely because of this, she felt strange, because from her point of view, Fei Ke really had no reason to do this, unless...

Unless... Fei Ke has fallen in love with himself and cannot help himself?

——/(/ /o/ω/o/ /)/

——(I…I, I, what am I thinking?!)

When Shirley thought that this might be her wishful thinking and self-indulgence, her face immediately became hot!

She subconsciously wanted to chant ice magic to cool herself down, but then she remembered that she was still in an abnormal state where she could not use magic, so she had to turn her face away to avoid being seen by Fei Ke.

Fortunately, Fike didn't seem to notice Shirley's abnormality. He continued to evacuate side by side with the thunder-horned warhorse Xiaomodo. The swift pace really made Shirley stunned.

——(Fike... He really had been hiding his strength before...)

Shirley is now unable to figure out Feike's true strength. Before, she thought Feike was not as good as herself, so she could still guess. Now Feike's strength is obviously above hers, so how can she see clearly.

However, there is one thing Shirley is sure of, that is, even with Fike's strength, he is still no match for Kenroshi Okami, not to mention the Wolf King or even the werewolf ancestor. Otherwise, they would not have to run desperately to escape death.

So, for what reason did Fike take such a big risk?

——(Forget it, I won’t dwell on it anymore. Worrying about it isn’t my style.)

Shirley made up her mind and decided to speak frankly and stop guessing.

·

"Sir Fike, I'm very grateful that you came all the way to rescue us, but I don't understand why you would risk your life to do this."

On the galloping horse, Shirley asked Fei Ke very seriously.

After hearing this, Fei Ke looked at Shirley thoughtfully for a moment before replying, "You're not going to default on your debt, are you, Lord Bingjixing? You still owe me 'reward for one thing,' have you forgotten?"

[The above image is from chapter 7.12 - The Reward for Gambling with Your Life]

Shirley was stunned when she heard Feike's answer.

"Reward for one thing"? Reward for what one thing?

Perhaps because the events at that time had nothing to do with her current situation, Shirley took a few seconds to remember the favor she owed.

She had anticipated all the possible answers that Fei Ke might give, but she had completely forgotten this one thing.

——(No... not really?)

——(Fiche, you're still holding on to that matter?)

Shirley was truly impressed. Who would risk their life to save someone just to repay a debt of gratitude? Wouldn't it be foolish to lose their life by accident?

·

However, Fike, how could he be such a stupid person?

·

Thinking of this, Shirley's emotions suddenly calmed down. She thought to herself, yes, Fei Ke is not such a stupid person at all, and he is not the kind of person who would be so petty as to cling to a favor.

The reason why Fei Ke answered this way was just to cover up the real reason.

——(Then…what is the real reason?)

·

"'Reward for one thing', of course I haven't forgotten. Ice Star Shirley will never forget a favor she owes."

Shirley did not choose to ask too many questions, but continued the topic based on Feike's questions.

Shirley would not force him to answer anything that Fei Ke was unwilling to say.

Shirley had experienced too many conversations like this one in the palace where people used excuses to cover up their true thoughts. Since Fike wanted to communicate in an "adult way", she would stay with him until the day when Fike was willing to speak out on his own initiative.

"I'm glad you haven't forgotten. When this incident is over, I will come find you, Master Bingjixing."

After getting Shirley's promise, Fei Ke smiled brightly and continued to concentrate on his journey.

After hearing this, Shirley felt very happy. At least she and Feike still had the "reward for one thing" as a bond to maintain their relationship, and they would not slowly become strangers after this storm.

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting in the royal court..."

"Xiao Moduo! Avoid!"

Before Shirley could finish her words, Fike suddenly shouted loudly!

Immediately afterwards, before Shirley could react, Fike and Xiao Moduo leaped to the left and right, respectively. Then, a silver light suddenly appeared, piercing the path they had just taken with a clang! The dense magical energy was the energy of Kenroshi Okami's Silver Divine Spear!

"Xiao Moduo! Lord Bingjixing! You go first!"

Fike drew out his pitch-black sword, and blue flames blazed on the blade.

He used his body to block the side and rear, which was exactly the direction from which the silver divine spear had just been launched. The young man's figure with his back to Shirley was resolute.

Needless to say, Shirley immediately understood that it was Kenroshi Okami who had caught up with her. This guy was like a nightmare and she couldn't get rid of him no matter what.

Now, the crisis has come again. Is she going to have to watch Fei Ke stay behind to cover their retreat?

Shirley hated her own weakness and her current powerlessness, but her reason told her that being weak was not scary. What was scary was that she was weak but didn't realize it and still dragged others down.

Therefore, Shirley made a painful decision. She wanted to "shamelessly" accept Feike's kindness again and follow the Thunderhorse Xiaomodo to leave... But this time, she had to at least make things clear with Feike before leaving!

"Fike!"

Shirley jumped off Xiao Moduo's back. At this moment, she forgot that her legs had been pierced by Kenrushi Okami not long ago, and she forgot that her body had been severely overdrawn. She didn't know what force was supporting her. She only knew that she had to get to Feike no matter what!

As soon as Fike saw Shirley jump to the ground, he immediately rushed to Shirley and reached out to support her body.

"Master Bingjixing! Your body can no longer bear it! Please follow Xiao Moduo..."

Fike couldn't finish his words because Shirley's lips kissed his mouth regardless of everything, leaving him speechless.

A kiss full of affection, short but intense.

In a moment, the passion came to an abrupt end, their lips parted, Shirley gently pushed Fike away, and then decisively got back on the horse.

"Listen carefully, Fike! I won't let you die here! You must come see me again!"

After leaving these words, Shirley rode away on Xiao Modo with tears in her eyes, without wasting another second of Feike's time.

However, Shirley didn't know that just after she and Xiao Moduo left, another girl riding the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse also came here.

And... she also clearly witnessed the scene of the two people parting just now.

8.230 - A Girl in Love (Part )

Dozens of minutes ago, Viviana rode the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse and followed Kenroshi Okami all the way.

Thanks to the incredible speed of the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse, Viviana can maintain a considerable tracking distance without worrying about being left behind.

In addition, since she and her father, Lord Scarlet, entered the werewolf territory openly, even though the war had just ended, the werewolves had no intention of making things difficult for her.

At this moment, although Viviana's actions were excused as "it was on the way", there was still a certain element of "not doing her job properly" in it, which made her feel quite guilty.

In order to encourage herself, Viviana quoted the motto of the Feiqi family: In the Feiqi family, hatred must be avenged and kindness must be repaid double.

Viviana told herself that she had been saved by Banning, and now Banning was in danger. As a member of the Scarlet Qi family, how could she stand by and watch him die? How could she not repay the favor?

——(Yes, so my current actions are completely fine! I haven't violated my family's motto, nor have I neglected my mission to rescue my father... Hmm!)

After convincing herself, Viviana felt that even the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse under her crotch ran faster.

She could hardly contain her excitement at the thought of meeting Banning again soon.

·

However, before Viviana could see Banning, she saw Kenroshi Okami taking a stance, about to throw the silver spear towards nothing in front of him.

Although Viviana had never fought with Kenroshi Okami and had never seen his moves, based on years of experience on the battlefield, Viviana judged that Kenroshi Okami would definitely launch a sniper attack on the enemy at a very far distance.

The target of this sniper attack is most likely Banning.

——(Oh no! If I attack from such a long distance, Benning won’t be able to detect it!)

Viviana was suddenly extremely anxious. In a hurry, she didn't care that the fact that she was following Kenrushi Okami would be exposed. She immediately shouted and asked the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse to run at full speed!

"Please! Scarlet Flame Divine Horse! I need your maximum speed!!!"

When the Crimson Flame Divine Horse heard the master's order, it immediately burst out with all its strength!

I saw the crimson fire bursting out from the body of the fiery warhorse, and then the crimson divine horse and Viviana turned into a red meteor flying close to the ground, and rushed towards the direction that Kenroshi Okami was aiming at at an extremely astonishing speed!

On the land where this red meteor sped past, only the burnt red land could prove that a swift thing had once flown past!

However, "flying close to the ground" is not flying after all. Not long after Viviana and the Scarlet Flame Divine Horse accelerated, the Silver Divine Spear flashed through the air and surpassed them, arriving at the destination first.

Viviana's already uneasy heart became even more uneasy. She was afraid that when she arrived, Banning would have become a corpse.

With a trembling heart, Viviana finally arrived at the spot where the Silver Divine Spear had fallen several seconds later. However, what she saw was not the tragic scene of Benning being pierced by the Silver Divine Spear, but a scene that made her feel even more shocked and sad...

·

At that moment, Viviana saw a woman who looked somewhat familiar, forcibly kissing Banning, then riding a warhorse that looked like Banning's, and galloping away.

As for where the silver spear ended up, it was no longer important to Viviana now.

·

Viviana stood there in a daze, looking at Banning, who was also stunned, with lifeless eyes.

What happened just now?

Why did that woman forcefully kiss Banning?

What is the relationship between her and Banning?

These questions kept running through Viviana's mind like a revolving lantern, but she couldn't answer any of them.

What she didn't know was that although Banning looked "stunned", he was actually just checking the "confession points" he had just earned.

·

Just now, after Shirley forcefully kissed Jiang Ran and left the words "Listen carefully, Fei Ke! I won't let you die here! You must come to see me again!", Jiang Ran received a text prompt for confession points.

——『The confession from "Shirley" has been confirmed. Energy point +1. Current energy point: 1』

Jiang Ran had never expected to receive Ice Star Shirley's confession in this way.

He originally thought that the chief court magician of the Kingdom of West would be more calm. After all, Shirley was 28 years old this year, exactly ten years older than Jiang Ran.

However, it is also a good thing for Jiang Ran to get confession points at this time, because there are only 8 days left in the confession death countdown. If Shirley does not confess, then Jiang Ran can only take action against Vanessa.

No matter what, in the current situation, it is too much to ask Jiang Ran to start from scratch to conquer a new girl.

·

It was certainly a good thing that Shirley confessed her feelings to Jiang Ran, but at the same time, something "bad" also happened.

When Jiang Ran noticed that Viviana was also present, everything was unavoidable... The speed of the flaming warhorse she rode was really amazing, even faster than the full speed of the small motorcycle, which directly resulted in Jiang Ran not having time to take any countermeasures.

In Jiang Ran's original plan, the Feiqi family was indeed one of the forces that would be dragged into the water, but what he didn't expect was that Viviana, who was "only" level 90 in the third stage, would actually be brought into the heart of the werewolf territory.

And now, Viviana's appearance here alone was beyond Jiang Ran's expectation. He couldn't think of any good way to deal with her for a while. He could only pretend that he didn't see her and concentrate on dealing with the silver spear that Kenroshi Okami might throw at him again at any time.

(All-round vision...)

(The Trickster: Suggestion Effect...)

(Hashrate boost and overclocking...!)

·

Five seconds later, Kenroshi Okami's attack did not come, but instead Viviana came riding a horse to Jiang Ran's side.

After not seeing her for many days, this girl with flawless silver hair and red eyes still looks so otherworldly.
