Chapter 400

The two clinked glasses, and Lan Lan Lite drank down heartily.

Jiang Li also drank it down.

He was just thinking about how to salvage the situation from a moment ago.

But suddenly, he smelled a peculiar fragrance.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Li widened his eyes.

Because the faint fragrance he had just smelled was far too familiar.

The fragrance on Julia's body.

He feared he would never forget it in his lifetime.

"What's wrong, Jiang Li?" Lan Lite asked.

"Your Highness—is Julia here with you?" Jiang Li did not hide it but asked directly.

"Oh—do you know Julia?" Lan Lite said.

Jiang Li did not notice that Lan Lan Lite's entire body trembled slightly.

"Does he still care about me so much?"

Lan Lan Lite was Julia, and Julia was Lan Lan Lite; Lan Lan Lite was female but wore a special divine artifact that concealed her gender, making her appear male.

At this moment, seeing Jiang Li care for her so much, Julia felt a bit sweet in her heart, yet also somewhat bitter.

"Jiang Li, Jiang Li, even if you were a true commoner, perhaps we might have a destiny in the future—but your identity is truly too special; we are ultimately unable to be together!"

"I know her—"

Jiang Li added: "We are very good friends!"

Mentioning Julia, Arondas's face was full of jealousy, completely displayed on his features.

"How close are you?"

Lan Lite could not help but ask.

Jiang Li recalled the various events of the past.

He was just about to speak.

But Lan Lite said, "I want to tell you some great news!"

"Oh—then Your Highness speak first."

Jiang Li found it strange; hadn't Lan Lite asked him to speak, so why suddenly interrupt him?

Lan Lite said: "At the end of this month, which is the day of my coronation—I will marry Julia!"

"What?"

Jiang Li and Arondas both cried out simultaneously, their faces filled with shock.

Only Lan Lan Lite sat with a calm face, took a sip of tea, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

Jiang Li's whole body trembled.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds and said, "Crown Prince, this is very good; when you marry, I will certainly attend!"

The two looked at each other.

Lan Lite did not know if it was disappointment in his heart or something else; he dared not look into Jiang Li's eyes and actively averted his gaze.

"Jiang Li—you also count among this batch of testers as one of the most excellent."

"Therefore, I hope you will perform excellently in the second test—do you know what the second test is?"

"Please instruct, Your Highness!"

Jiang Li bowed deeply, not daring to look at Lan Lan Lite, fearing the other would see the killing intent in his eyes.

That's right, it was killing intent; at this moment, Jiang Li had already turned killing intent toward Lan Lan Lite.

"Many people know about the matter between me and Julia, and besides, Arondas is here today, but this fake Crown Prince still insists on this—then I will have to apologize when the time comes!"

Jiang Li made up his mind in his heart: on the day the fake Crown Prince is crowned, he will climb high, rally everyone, and launch a rebellion.

Originally, the two had no grudge; Jiang Li only became an opponent to complete the dungeon.

But now it is different.

He and Julia are unlikely to be together for long, but he also does not want Julia to marry a man she does not like.

"He actually has Julia's scent on him—could this fake Crown Prince have done something?"

Thinking thus, Jiang Li felt somewhat depressed in his heart.

"This second test—you all testers must go into the dungeon of the Demon Human world! Slay the Demon Humans!"

"Recently it was heard—the Demon Humans have gathered a large group of experts to go to the Bone Castle in their world to seek the Dark Source—so we, the Kingdom of Norland—as allies of the Dark Abyss must dispatch some forces to assist the Demon Spirits in the Bone Castle!"

Lan Lite's words made Jiang Li feel somewhat strange in his heart.

He is the human in the Demon Human world that Lan Lite or the people of this world speak of.

He had just accepted a hidden mission to come to Norland, and now, coincidentally, he must return to his own world in another identity... this feeling was very strange.

Indeed—after Lan Lite finished speaking, the System showed no reaction.

The System would never issue a mission to assassinate humans.
