Chapter 22

"What? Are you so unhappy being with me?"

The emotion that was still brewing was extinguished; Ei met his gaze and rarely curved the corners of her mouth, yet she did not speak.

Even for an Ei-musha who only knew how to fight and kill, after feelings sprouted, she evolved from a cold god into a person of flesh and blood.

Even Ei herself couldn't believe that one day she would be held by the hand by a member of the opposite sex without any misgivings.

Of course, what she didn't know was that the young man standing beside her wanted to get more and do more excessive things.

But the only thing Ei knew was that being with the person she liked, time passed especially quickly.

Although they remained silent most of the time, neither felt uncomfortable; instead, there was a perfect intersection of water and milk.

When she suddenly realized it, two hours had already passed.

"I should go."

Ultimately unable to bear it, she withdrew her hand, stood before him, and explained, not knowing out of what psychology: "A memorial came from Ritou yesterday; the Khaenri'ah delegation requested an audience, seemingly having something to ask for."

Khaenri'ah?

Hearing this familiar name, Luo Li's DNA moved immediately.

One must know that not long after, they would be gathered by the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and the Seven Archons to be wiped out.

Of course, at this time period, there was no conflict between the Seven Nations and the godless nation of Khaenri'ah.

Although there was no god sitting in power, the ancient nation that took the power of the ley lines for its own use was also very powerful; its technology and alchemy were exceptionally developed, and almost the entire continent had "Ruin Machines" created by them.

Seeing Luo Li unmoved, Ei continued to explain: "Makoto handed over the power to handle the delegation to me, so..."

"Since that's the case, I'll go and see them as well."

Luo Li was very curious about the purpose of the Khaenri'ah delegation's visit and wanted to get to the bottom of it.

At this juncture, the other party actually came to Inazuma; it was clearly not as simple as a visit to establish diplomatic relations.

Ei was stunned for a moment, and upon meeting Luo Li's burning gaze, she couldn't help but turn her head away.

"As you wish."

"Then let's go."

Taking Ei's slender and smooth hand again, Luo Li snapped his fingers.

Immediately, a pitch-black vortex-shaped portal appeared before the two.

Without a doubt, this was an ability derived from the "Law of Space."

Having long been accustomed to the various strange abilities of the person beside her, Ei was not surprised, just stopped her footsteps and tried to break free from his palm.

However, Luo Li held it tightly, and she was unable to break free.

"What's wrong?" Luo Li asked, pretending not to notice.

"..."

Revealing her little emotions for the first time, she glared at the man close at hand, but before she could react, she was forcibly pulled by him into the pitch-black void.

There was no help for it; if he let her keep looking at him with those eyes, Luo Li couldn't guarantee he would be able to resist doing some light-hearted things.
