Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

Ling Sha rose and walked out of the Zheng Dian of the Shen Wei General's Mansion side by side with Kafka.

On the splendidly gilded Corridor, carved beams and painted rafters reflected faint light; footsteps were light and slow, yet only made the atmosphere between the two grow heavier.

The two women strolled along the familiar path, finally arriving at the Hua Yuan where they had spoken last time, stepping into that wooden pavilion and sitting facing each other.

The clear breeze was slightly cold, just like the two's differing states of mind at this moment.

Alone together, Ling Sha finally set aside her usual composed and dignified bearing.

On the surface she was still calm and unruffled, but her fingertips curled unconsciously, betraying the panic and unease in her heart.

The General would die, and the General herself seemed to have known this long ago.

This news was like a massive stone pressing on her heart, making it impossible for her to stay calm.

Even if heaven collapsed and earth shattered, even if the entire Huan Yu perished, she dared not believe that the Divine Lord who had never lost a battle, who protected Shen Wu, would have a day of falling.

Ling Sha looked at Kafka, her eyes holding a barely perceptible question; her tone turned cold abruptly, yet hid a trace of grievance and unwillingness, as if convinced Kafka had deliberately concealed it:

"Last time when the General spoke with Ai Li Ou, her emotions nearly lost control — was that when the General already knew she would die?

And you... did you also know long ago, yet deliberately didn't tell me!?"

Kafka gently shook her head, her eyes holding a few parts honesty; she had indeed been present then, personally witnessing Xuan Ge's loss of control.

But Ai Li Ou never mentioned Xuan Ge's death afterward.

"Ai Li Ou never said these things; it has always only given us Scripts related to the Stellaron and the Qiu Lie Shou — unrelated people and matters, it does not speak of."

Finishing speaking, she saw Ling Sha's tense shoulders relax slightly, the question in her eyes gradually replaced by fragility, so she took the opportunity to change topic, her tone softening a few degrees, trying to help Ling Sha shed her hard shell:

"Besides, do you distrust Xuan Ge's strength that much?

Since the Shen Wu Xian Zhou came into being, he has led armies on countless campaigns, never suffering a defeat; with the Xunlie causality upon him, how could he be easily defeated?"

"I..." Ling Sha's hand on her thigh suddenly clenched tight, fingertips turning white, her tone softening as well, carrying worry she could not cover up:

"I believe the General, I have always believed in his strength. But he... but he himself knows he will die... the moment I think of him facing that despair alone, I just..."

The rest of the words, she ultimately could not speak; the panic and heartache in her eyes could no longer be hidden.

Kafka watched Ling Sha like this, her heart stirring slightly.

This was the first time she had seen Ling Sha lower all defenses, revealing a soft, vulnerable side.

She comforted softly: "You and I are the same; our strength does not match Xing Xiao's top-tier level, we cannot directly protect him fully.

But Xuan Ge bears the causality power bestowed by Xunlie; since he already knew of the Divine Calamity long ago, he must have a way to break open the deadlock.

Don't forget, the Yao Guang's simultaneous dislocation — wasn't it also forcefully healed by him?"

Finishing speaking, Kafka stood up, lightly patted Ling Sha's shoulder, her eyes holding a few parts appeasement, then turned and walked toward the Qiu Lie Shou's residence in Shen Wu.

Comfort is comfort, but Xuan Ge's death news is of great importance; she must find Ai Li Ou as soon as possible to verify the truth of this matter.

Simultaneously, inside Xuan Ge's Qin Gong.

Xing Xiao sat quietly beside the window-side sofa, gaze falling on the few green plum trees outside the window, expression dazed, eyes full of concern for Xuan Ge;

while Huan Long paced leisurely examining this Qin Gong, her eyes carrying a few parts playfulness and helplessness.

Huan Long was momentarily speechless — this Qin Gong was not only permeated with Xing Xiao's own cool fragrance.

Besides Yao Guang and Jing Liu's auras, the auras of the other women surrounding Xuan Ge were present without a single difference.

Even that little fox Fei Xiao's sweet fragrance could be faintly detected.

She walked forward, opened the Yi Fu, the corner of her mouth twitching involuntarily:

Inside the Yi Fu hung various styles of sleepwear, each piece stained with the auras of Xing Xiao, Dahlia, and the others; one could imagine just how "lively" Xuan Ge's daily situation in the Qin Gong was.

Huan Long closed the Yi Fu, walked before Xing Xiao, and said in a calm tone:

"Go back first; otherwise when the Negative Creative God activates you and finds you not by his side, the fun will be big."

"Mm, I indeed have this premonition."

Xing Xiao slowly withdrew her gaze, looking at the green plum trees outside the window, replied softly, her tone carrying a few parts reluctance.

"It is time to go back; I cannot delay proper business because of my obsession."

Immediately after, Xing Xiao turned her head to look at Huan Long, her eyes holding a few parts wanting to speak but stopping.

But Huan Long seemed to have long seen through her thoughts; not waiting for her to open her mouth, she directly cut off her train of thought:

"Don't think further; the Yao Gong is the most protective existence in the entire Huan Yu, moreover to Him, Xuan Ge is the most special one."

Huan Long sat down opposite Xing Xiao, continued: "You forgot? That Divine Lord's Might - Chi Gui of his.

As long as he takes off that Fang Ghost Mask and puts on the Yao Gong's face, they are exactly the same.

How could the Yao Gong possibly watch him get into trouble?"

She paused, her tone carrying a few parts teasing, yet hiding a few parts certainty: "And even if the Negative Creative God wants to take Xuan Ge's ox....

Er... wants to snatch Xuan Ge away, back when he fought the great battle with Fen Feng, the Negative Creative God should have made a move then, not wait until now."

Hearing Huan Long's explanation, Xing Xiao nodded slightly.

Back then Fen Feng and Xuan Ge fought a great battle, the situation tragic, directly causing the entire Xing Xi where they were to shatter completely.

That great battle, while severing the Destruction Forces' best route to invade the Xianzhou Alliance, also caused terrible irreversible consequences.

Today that region leaves only a violent energy turbulence; if not for top-tier strength, anyone who enters faces certain death.

"Let's go." Huan Long stood up, lifted her chin at Xing Xiao, tone carrying a few parts calculation.

"When the war ends, no one will abide by any rules; at that time, naturally the strong get first pick, I will go all out to help you."

"Mm." Xing Xiao nodded, the pink in her eyes growing ever more condensed, lingering at the bottom of her eyes for a long time.

That was her obsession with Xuan Ge, and also her resolve — once the war ended, she would suppress that group of women with her identity as the Monarch of Extinction, not yielding a single step!

On the other side, in the main hall of the Shen Wei General's Mansion, Yao Guang and Jing Liu did not sit on Xuan Ge's General's Seat, but moved to a guest seat to the side, sitting side by side.

The hall was still quiet; the air still retained the tension from before, only with a few parts less of the murderous aura from jealous rivalry, and a few parts more of gravity.

Yao Guang poured herself a cup of clear tea, fingertips pinching the teacup, and without raising her head spoke, tone direct and carrying a few parts interrogation:

"Jing Liu, you staying in Shen Wu, is it not simply just wanting to protect Xuan Ge thoroughly?

What purpose do you have? Or rather, what plan do you have, wanting Xuan Ge to go do?"

Jing Liu heard Yao Guang's interrogative tone like this, was slightly stunned, a trace of puzzlement flashing in her eyes.

But Yao Guang is Abu Zhe; she could sense the urgency and wariness on Yao Guang; could it be Yao Guang divined something?

After pondering a moment, Jing Liu did not conceal it, frankly nodded: "Yes."

"Abundance?" Yao Guang raised her eyes, pursued with a question, a trace of realization flashing in her eyes, also hiding a trace of gravity.

"It is." Jing Liu did not have the slightest hesitation, lightly nodded.

Yao Guang violently raised her gaze, a trace of cold light flashing in her eyes, secretly rejoicing in her heart.

Fortunately she arrived in time; it seems the previous divination was not wrong; Jing Liu's plan would indeed push Xuan Ge onto a dead end.

"You cannot tell Xuan Ge, absolutely cannot let him know your plan." Her tone was firm, carrying an unrefusable warning.

Jing Liu slightly frowned, looked at Yao Guang in puzzlement: "Why?"

"I came precisely for this." Yao Guang's tone grew ever heavier, speaking word by word.

"The moment you speak, with Xuan Ge's temperament, he will definitely go do it regardless of everything! At that time, his death will be utterly irretrievable!"

Jing Liu deeply looked at Yao Guang, a trace of probing flashing in her eyes, attempting to see a flaw from her eyes, but Yao Guang's gaze was firm and grave, not looking fake.

After a long while, she only slowly withdrew her gaze, lightly nodded: "Good."

Yao Guang slightly raised her brow, somewhat surprised Jing Liu would agree this readily; the wariness in her heart did not dissipate, yet she also did not pursue the question.

Perhaps the timing has not yet arrived; wait until the war ends, then slowly figure out Jing Liu's plan is not too late either.

The main hall fell into silence again; a moment later... Jing Liu softly spoke, tone carrying a few parts vexation and puzzlement:

"Did I... give Da Li Hua an opportunity today?"

She recalled the scene just now, always feeling it was her that sentence "stay in Shen Wu to protect" that pushed the topic to a new height.

Making Yao Guang, Ling Sha and the others all dare not recklessly attack and denounce, engage in jealous rivalry....

Afraid of appearing ignorant, instead being outdone by others, indirectly giving Da Li Hua an opening to exploit.

Yao Guang turned her face away, took a deep breath, closed her eyes......

In the end still lightly nodded.

Jing Liu:...........
