Chapter 1118

Na Kexia

Aglaea said coldly, "Provocation will only add to your death weight on Talandon's scales; the matter need not come to that."

"Non-human, non-divine monster, don't forget, you dare not kill me. If you snuff out the spark of 'reason'—what else could you have to oppose the Senate?"

Se xisi, Fire Pursuit Journey

Na Kexia immediately turned her head and glared at Se xisi.

Ah, I just wanted to say since a moment ago: as for you, does death really mean anything?

none.

Se xisi lightly shook his head: 'What I mean is, before I inject the fire seed into your heart... you are already a corpse.'

—— (separator line, no translation needed? Actually we need to output 【9】 with translation of the line "——". That's just a dash line. We'll translate as "——"? Probably keep as "——". We'll output same.

Original God.

In other words... is Na Kexia now also in a zombie-like state, just like Qiqi?

Inside Bu Bulu: white atractylodes, Qiqi, Na Kexia.

Go to Fengjin for some treatment; Fengjin can save that Xianfeng veteran from the brink of death.

Well, although I don't know much about Nakesha, I have seen people like him before. This kind of unconventional genius, seeing that his time is short, simply won't stay quiet alone; he must stir up trouble again at the end of his life. Looking at what he just said… he seems to have set his sights on the ritual sword of that black-robed swordsman; such a bold person… what daring deed might he pull off?

"Looks like you're looking forward to it." Bai Zhu set down his pen, let out a light sigh, and said: "I actually hope Nakesha can settle down a bit, go to Fengjin for treatment; Fengjin might be able to rescue that veteran of the Xuanfeng from the brink of death, and perhaps even find a way to save Nakesha."

"That veteran general with the hanging blade is 'no different from the dead,' but he isn't really dead, and his situation is worlds apart from that of Ke Xia! But instead of talking about that, Baizhu, aren't you curious about the problem that has constantly puzzled Sexisi? What exactly is a 'Titan'?"

——

"I'm back. I finally have time to tidy up a bit… Want to chat, Xing?" Danheng opened the door and walked in from behind her, "Strange, Mimi isn't with you?"

"Let it rest, it's been exhausted these past few days."

"Since it's not here, I'll ask you first. Do you really intend to take the place of the Golden Heirs and undergo the Oluonisi Fire Seed's trial?"

Xing rubbed her face: "I haven't decided yet; it was Mimi's idea…"

Danheng let out a deep sigh: "... Looks like we've ended up here after all; perhaps it's an unavoidable fate of 'Pioneering'? You'd better stay alert and prioritize self-preservation. From the experiences of those before us, the trial is absolutely no child's play."

"But what I'm more afraid of is that you'll bind yourself too tightly to Wengfalosu… If you really take on that Titan's divine position, will you still have a chance to let it go?"

Saying that, Danheng shook his head again: "Forget it, we'll take it step by step. No matter what happens, I'll be with you."

Xing put her hands on her hips: "So melodramatic, where did you run off to just now?"

I was entangled by two people dressed as guards, which made me miss Tian's farewell ceremony. They claimed to be envoys of the Senate, wanting to interrogate my identity. But I guess we've been under surveillance for a while… They deliberately waited until you and I were separated before acting.

Their questions covered everything: from how we arrived at Aohema, to our private dealings with each Golden Heir, even our experiences in the market—they wanted to dig deep. Fortunately, those two lackwits aren't too bright, so I managed to deflect most of their questions. They shouldn't come looking for trouble anytime soon.

"Senate… are they bad people?"

Danheng shook his head and said: "I don't want to make a black-and-white judgment, but their conduct… is indeed unpleasant."

——

Dragonkind.

"Throwing oneself into the fray may be brave, but it's just as dangerous, especially in Aohema nowadays."

Kaisa basically agreed with Danheng's assessment: first, Xing herself is not a Golden Heir, and no one can predict what would happen if she rashly bore a Titan's divine position. More importantly, as outsiders they can currently stay out of the conflict between the Golden Heirs and the Senate, but if Xing joins, the situation changes.

The Senate could very well see Xing as an enemy, regard her as an obstacle on the path of seizing power, and then those slanderous and framing tactics…… Kaisa never doubts the morals of those politicians, because they fundamentally have none.

"There are also Golden Heirs like Ke Xia who oppose the Fire Pursuit Journey; people like him are not necessarily rare, and they will definitely be among those the Senate urgently needs to win over." Chu Zihang said.

"Well, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. Looking at it this way, Ke Xia's position is quite tricky. He is an indispensable member of the Fire Pursuit Journey, yet he is a steadfast opponent of Aglaea. We can't let him die, but his being alive would also hinder Aglaea……"

"But there is also a possibility: Aglaea could try to recruit Ke Xia into the Fire Pursuit Journey." Chu Zihang said lightly, "Although the probability is low, I think we can give it a try."

"... Or maybe we should just forget it." Kaisa shrugged, "If he fundamentally doesn't buy into Aglaea's ideology, he will never compromise no matter what. You can kill someone like that, but you can't make them submit."

——

""But on second thought, Aglaea didn't let down its guard against us either. Before we get a clear picture, it's best not to offend either side." Danheng said, "The only thing we can confirm for now is that there are people in the Senate who are quite dissatisfied with the Golden Heirs. In the worst case… we might get dragged into the Holy City's power struggle.""

""I really like this episode.""

Danheng isn't as optimistic as Xing, sighing and shaking his head: "If only we had some breathing room, then we could organize the Heichi clues. But now……"

He turned his gaze toward the distance, under the 'Sun' borne on KefaLe's back, the sky was clear and everything was verdant.

""Only the weather is decent; let's take a few photos with the camera.""
