Chapter 1227: Weng Falos 3.3 (268)

"Put it on, Saifaliya, and don't get caught again next time. Your lovely face deserves more careful protection."

Saifeier's little face flushed, she hummed lightly: "You rich people just love meddling! Then I'll take it, and it'll be too late for you to regret!"

Saying that, Saifeier couldn't wait and bent down to try on her new boots.

"Um… hmm…"

"What's wrong with you?"

Saifeier muttered softly: "Um… is there a smaller size? These are way too big for me…"

Aglaea smiled knowingly: "Heh… then wait until you grow a bit more before wearing them."

——

Spiritual energy: 100%.

"Master, I wonder if Saifeier, upon learning of Aglaea's death, will regret not having been able to see her more back then?"

Longtao stood by the window of the consultation hall, looking up blankly at Saifeier as a child. They had once been so close, Aglaea cared for her and was gentle, like an older sister… why did it become like this?

"I don't know; after all, the scene shown in the curtain is from a thousand years ago, and no one knows what happened between them in this millennium." Linghuan, holding a cup of already cold green tea, said lightly, "But judging from Aglaea's attitude, Saifeier is deliberately avoiding her."

"Avoiding her…?" Longtao's voice was muffled, "Is there some misunderstanding that can't be spoken face to face?"

"I'm not sure either; perhaps after Saifeier grew up, she found the gap with Aglaea deepening. After all, one is a thief and the other is Aohema's administrator, also the leader of the Fire Pursuit Journey. It's like a beam of light: it has a bright side and a dim side; light and dark are always separated by a line and can never intersect."

Linghuan let out a soft sigh, feeling the topic suddenly grew heavy.

"Perhaps there truly is a misunderstanding or knot between them, but unfortunately… there's no chance to untie it anymore."

——

"... Fake! Fake!"

Saifeier let out a light sigh: "... You have to interrupt me in the middle of my story? Fake, what fake?"

Batureus pointed at the golden boots on Saifeier's feet and laughed triumphantly: "Your boots have none of Zagres's divine power! The biggest liar, Weng Falos, was also deceived by that Aglaea, ha ha ha!"

Saifeier was unfazed, smiling brightly: "You mouthy guy, watch out or I'll toss you into the Underworld River to feed the fish!"

"Aren't you curious how I got involved with that seamstress? Now you know. Satisfied?"

"Ha ha… I didn't expect such a plain story, really disappointing." Batureus paused, then his tone shifted, "But, uh… Big sister, there's also a possibility that Aglaea didn't intend to deceive you…"

"Huh?" Saifeier froze for a moment, her expression turning playful, "You… were you speaking for her just now?"

Batureus's head shook like a tambourine: "Uh… no, no! I just think this story is so moving, it can't be ruined by a single lie—if I had human tear glands, they'd be streaming down my face right now!"

"Heh! Thanks to your silver‑tongued skill, otherwise you'd have been caught to serve as a gate‑keeping house spirit." Saifeier looked up at the moon‑bathed city, "Enough idle chatter; let's look up at the Stikokisia before us—look how beautiful it is! Let me take a good sniff of the air's scent…"

"Sniff… sniff sniff…"

"Meow~~~~!"

Saifeier, hands on hips, said: "In this air… the scent of treasure permeates everywhere! Wonderful, truly wonderful! Thanks to Xia Die and Xiao Hui Zi, the ancient city's barrier could be dispelled—thinking back, my help was really worth it~"

"Treasure‑hunting time, Little Bazi! Lead the way; we'll split the loot two‑to‑eight."

Batureus scratched his face: "Uh, I have a small suggestion? How about we, seven three…"

Saifeier pretended not to hear, cupping her hand over her ear: "... Whoa, listen carefully, do you hear? The bone‑eating fish in the Underworld River has a stomach growling with hunger, right?"

Batureus quickly corrected himself: "... Eight two, just eight two! You're really fair, Big Sister Saifeier!"

——

One Punch Man.

"By the way, how did Saifeier obtain the Trickster Titan's fire seed back then?"

Thus line: Yuanzǐ Wushi was very curious; in its view, the Trickster Titan, also one of the Three Calamity Titans, shouldn't be that easy to handle, after all Nicadoli and Senatos required great effort for everyone to finally obtain the fire seed, so could Zagres be a particularly weak titan?

Moreover, a thousand years ago only a handful—Xia Die, Ti Bao, Aglaea—were around, and Xia Die never voluntarily mentioned the fire seed retrieval, could Saifeier have taken it down alone?

Saifeier might have taken down Zagres, but single‑handedly doing so seems unlikely.

"Perhaps Saifeier has some hidden combat power?" Banggu lifted his tea cup, took a small sip, "The girl's physique is light and clearly suited for martial practice. Additionally, all the golden‑blood participants in the Fire Pursuit Journey, except Ti Bao and Feng Jin, are quite formidable; even the academic Keshia could engage in close combat with the Fire Thief, not to be underestimated…"

"Speaking of which, everyone, regarding Saifeier's ability, a thought suddenly struck me." Tongdi lifted his head, shifting tone, "... about the sky fire seed."

"What?"

"Since Saifeier's ability is linked to lies, if she publicly declares that she has obtained the 'sky' fire seed and successfully convinces others, including Bai'e and Feng Jin, then can she truly create a 'sky' fire seed out of thin air?"

"This…"

Thus line: Yuanzǐ Wushi was startled by Tongdi's bold idea, instinctively furrowing his brow: "No, impossible, right? That's a fire seed."

"If it could be done, then Saifeier could theoretically create the fire seeds of twelve titans herself, as long as she deceives everyone." Tongdi licked his lollipop, then quickly shook his head, "No, no… that would mean she alone could accomplish the Recreation of the World. Hmm… probably just my fantasy."
