"Are we going to be sisters, Mia?"
"Huh?!" The sudden question startled Mia. She quickly turned around and hugged Mordred from behind. She rubbed her cheek against Mordred's. "Why did you ask, Mordred?" she asked softly. "Mordred, why did you ask that? Aren't we sisters? "
Although Mordred was almost 30 years old in human terms, she was still younger than Mia among the dragons. On top of that, she had a petite body, which made her the most delicate among the girls. That was why everyone affectionately called her Lil Mo.
"Phew!" Mordred's cheeks tickled Mia's. She squinted her eyes and pretended to be very comfortable. "Tomorrow is the Harvest Festival. There's a legend about the festival: if a couple becomes a couple during the fireworks, they'll be blessed and protected by the gods, and they'll be able to live happily ever after."
Mia's topic of romance, which she was not familiar with, caused Mia to blush. She whispered, "Where did you hear that, Mordred?"
"My mother told me that. She also said that if I ever meet a boy I like, I must confess to him at the Harvest Festival …" Mordred repeated what she had heard from Aya.
"Huh? Big Sister Aya told you about these things? " Mia mumbled under her breath. Her Mr. Hope had never taught her anything about romance. He would only scare away the boys who tried to flirt with her with a fierce look on their faces.
"What's the connection between the Harvest Festival and what you said before, Mordred?" Mia pressed.
"For the past two days, I've noticed that Mom has been secretly trying on those beautiful clothes." Mordred whispered as if she had discovered her mother's secret. "They're all beautiful clothes and jewelry. She only wears them on important occasions! She's probably getting ready for the Harvest Festival Gala, isn't she? "
Mia did not interrupt. Instead, she waited for Mordred to continue.
"But Mom never used to go to the Harvest Festival party because she said she didn't meet anyone she wanted to go with … So I always went with Grandpa. Now, it seems like Mom wants to go with Mr. Hope, right?" Mordred continued. "That's right, Mom.
"Huh? With Mr. Hope? "Mia asked in surprise.
"That's right. Ever since you came to visit us, they've been together, right? They go out and come back together every day. Everyone in the group is saying that they are going to get married. Mr. Hope is going to be my father … "Mordred rambled on." After all, they are together every day. Who knows, they might have kissed each other already? Hey, will mom give me a little sister? But Mr. Hope looks so serious. I'm a little scared of him. Mia? What happened to you? "
After mumbling to herself for a long time, she realized that Mia was frozen like a statue. She quickly shook Mia's shoulders and pinched her cheeks to get rid of her petrified state.
"No … It's nothing. My mind suddenly wandered off." Mia smiled awkwardly and lowered her head. She did not hear what Mordred said after that. The moment she heard that they were getting married, her heart felt like it had been struck by a sledgehammer. Her whole body froze, and there was only one thought in her mind. 'What should I do?'
At that moment, Baiyi did not know that the two ignorant girls were gossiping about him behind his back. He was preparing for the most crucial test, which was also the last one. That's right, the reason why he had taken turns to bring a few girls out for the past few days was so that no one would find it strange that he was preparing for it.
"There are so many birds along the way. Is it because tomorrow is the Harvest Festival?" Baiyi and Attie flew out of the No Man's Zone. Along the way, they saw many skycruising rays and gryphons with cargo and people on their backs. Everyone's faces were brimming with joy as they looked forward to the Harvest Festival.
I guess it's better for me to leave as soon as possible … Baiyi could feel the festive atmosphere around him, but he did not feel any joy at all. Instead, he felt a faint sense of danger. Instinctively, he increased his speed and brought her to a deserted island.
He handed the War God's Sword to his Kitty Cat Maid.
Attie was a little surprised. She tilted her head and looked at him inquiringly.
"Try it and see if you can sense anything," Baiyi said.
"Huh?" Attie scratched her head. She held the War God's Sword and looked left and right. Then, she cocked her head and listened.
"That's not what I meant!" Baiyi ruffled Attie's hair. "It's the same method you used to find me. Hmm, that's right. This sword can set up a sensing barrier, right?"
"Oh …" Attie nodded. She placed the hilt of the War God's Sword in her palm, and the hilt stood up on its own. Like a mushroom after a rain, the hilt split open and expanded into an umbrella-shaped structure that spun in Attie's palm.
'It has this function? Radar? ' Baiyi stared at the umbrella-shaped War God's Sword in shock.
"There's something strange in that direction …" Attie pointed to the southeast. That direction was further away from the No Man's Zone.
'There's a way!' Baiyi was secretly delighted. He no longer cared about the Levitation Spell. Grabbing her by the waist, he flew towards that direction with her in his arms.
"Ahhh …" Attie let out a yelp at the sudden intimacy, but she quickly got used to it. She continued to control the War God's Sword with one hand and wrapped her arms around Baiyi's waist with the other. She buried her head into Baiyi's chest, her cheek pressed against his cold breastplate. She closed her eyes, a satisfied expression on her face.
Under Attie's guidance, Baiyi soon arrived at an uninhabited area. It was a vast expanse of blue sky. There was not even a single floating island. It did not look like there was anything there.
However, with Baiyi's naked eyes and Attie's guidance, he found a subtle difference in the almost pure white sky.
"This is …" Baiyi cast a levitation spell on Attie and let go of her. He stared at the subtle distortion in the air in front of him. It was about the size of a bottle cap, and the distortion was very subtle. If one did not observe it closely like Baiyi, no one would be able to tell that there was something wrong with the air.
From that small area, there was a subtle fluctuation that could not be heard. The fluctuation was very unfamiliar to Baiyi. He was sure that neither he nor the Voidwalkers had ever felt such a fluctuation before. He released a little bit of his Psychic Energy and tried to touch the area. However, when his Psychic Energy came into contact with the distorted area, it passed through it as if it did not exist at all. It was as if the area was just air.
"As expected … I can't sense it with psychic energy …" Baiyi muttered under his breath. He released a little bit of mana from his finger and carefully touched the distortion.
The result was the same. There was no reaction.
"This must be the Law, right? It's everywhere, but it doesn't exist. We can see it, understand it, but we can't touch it, "the Scholar said in the Void." This must be a fragment of the Law that has yet to fully materialize. "
The Law was a concept, a kind of cognition. It was something that existed but did not exist. Unless it was materialized into an existing phenomenon or object, it could not be observed. The thing in front of them could be observed, but it could not be touched. That was why the Scholar came to such a conclusion.
"The War God is not a boring person. This must be the grand prize he prepared for me. But how should I accept it?" Baiyi pondered. Suddenly, he turned to Attie and said, "Give me the War God's Sword."
Attie, who had always been obedient, suddenly shook her head. She gripped the hilt of the War God's Sword with both hands and put it behind her back.
"What's going on?" Baiyi asked curiously. She was not betraying him. She was just throwing a tantrum.
"I'm not giving it to you … You were so mean to me before, and you even hit me …" Attie muttered in a low voice. She deliberately turned her face to the side, as if to say, 'Hurry up and coax me.'
So it's just a kid throwing a tantrum? She's even acting coquettishly … But Attie, who rarely acted coquettishly in front of him, looked quite cute at that moment. Baiyi was not angry at all. Instead, he thought it was fun. He pulled her closer to him and patted her head. "You're the best, Attie. Give me the sword, okay? I still have something important to do. "
Attie rubbed her head against his palm, but she still refused to give him the War God's Sword. Instead, she continued to whisper, "Unless you don't bully me or hit me anymore …"
"But what if you don't listen to me in the future?" Baiyi asked.
"Nonsense! I'll definitely listen to you! "Attie raised her head and said confidently.
"Alright, alright. As long as you listen to me in the future, I won't hit you or bully you anymore. What do you think?" Baiyi asked softly.
"And you're not allowed to tell me how to dress …" Attie added, blushing.
"Err … Alright then …" Baiyi could only reluctantly agree.
"Then …" Attie moved the War God's Sword from her back to her chest. She still did not hand it over with both hands. Instead, she made her last request, "You … You want to rub … rub … like Mia and the others …"
"You really have a lot of requests," Baiyi said with a smile. He reached out and lifted Attie up. He rubbed his visor against her face, causing her to blush. Finally, he planted a kiss on her forehead. "Are you satisfied now?"
