Chapter 168: Nayue-chan, the Big Sister and Loli Dual-Form

"Tell me, is it really alright for me to know these things?"

Nangong Nayue set down her teacup, her deep blue eyes staring straight into Su Nian's, and asked with great seriousness.

"Of course it's alright, Nayue-chan."

Su Nian looked at Algol, who had returned to her seal at some unknown point, and said indifferently.

"You are a Retainer I have chosen, so naturally you are qualified to know these things."

"A Retainer, huh?"

Nangong Nayue murmured softly; she seemed to have realized the weight of these two words.

Su Nian did not hide anything regarding Little Garden from Nangong Nayue, and with Su Nian's immersive explanation, Nangong Nayue's understanding of Little Garden was far greater than what Gada knew.

She also understood just how high-level the matters Su Nian had just spoken of truly were.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Nian wanted to take her as a Retainer, she would have heard nothing, just like Weierdiyana.

Although they were in the same room, the transmission of certain voices was separated by as much as a dimension.

"It looks like I'm going to be completely stuck on your pirate ship now."

Nangong Nayue sighed and said; she really couldn't get off the ship even if she wanted to now.

After knowing these things, she had no choice but to follow Su Nian all the way to the end.

"What? Regret it?"

Su Nian looked at Nangong Nayue and laughed as he spoke.

"Yeah, really, really regret it."

Nangong Nayue put one hand on her hip and rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"If I had known I would meet you on Gozo Island, I definitely wouldn't have taken that mission from the Snake."

"Now look at this, because of that person, I have to work like a horse for you for the rest of my life; no matter how I think about it, it's a loss."

At this moment, Su Nian said with a bit of mischief.

"You can still quit now, you know."

"At least let me lose out completely."

Nangong Nayue rolled her eyes and said.

Having known all this, it would be strange if Su Nian let her quit, and given her personality, she would never let herself give up halfway either.

Since she had made the decision, she would just go crazy with Su Nian; she had long been displeased with this world anyway.

The corners of Nangong Nayue's mouth curled up slightly, and she chuckled as she said.

"Now we are accomplices."

"Yes, yes, yes, accomplices who are enemies with all the Gods and Buddhas in the sky."

Su Nian smiled slightly and said wantonly.

"Let's go, Nayue-chan, to complete the Flame Light Banquet and, while we're at it, handle the matter of the Prison Barrier."

Su Nian stood up from the sofa and patted Agulora, who was lying on his lap.

"Agulora, go call your sisters; it's time to complete your mission."

"Okay, Brother Su Nian."

Agulora shouted excitedly; was the Flame Light Banquet finally going to be completed? In this way, could her sisters also become one with Su Nian?

Nangong Nayue also set down her teacup, picked up the parasol placed to the side, opened it, stood up, and said to Weierdiyana.

"You stay here; we are going out for a bit."

"Understood, Lady Nayue."

Weierdiyana said sweetly, seemingly relieved by Su Nian's departure.

Nangong Nayue glanced at Su Nian, a hint of schadenfreude hard to hide in the depths of her eyes.

Only Su Nian fell into deep thought: Am I really that unapproachable?

Nangong Nayue smiled, turned her head to look at the Quartz Gate inside the Boundary Gate, and sighed.

"In the end, we have to meet again, Aya."

After the soft sigh, Nangong Nayue stepped into the Boundary Gate.

——

The central plaza of the Quartz Gate.

Su Nian looked at the twelve Vessels standing beside him and put away the smile on his face.

At this moment, the texture on the ground showing red light was gradually deepening in brilliance, soon becoming pitch black, like congealed blood.

At this time, the ritual of the Flame Light Banquet was extracting the memories of hundreds of thousands of people, converting them into magic power that could be used by the Fourth Progenitor (allegedly).

In reality, it was just a ritual with a lot of fanfare; how much magic power could be converted from the memories of over one hundred thousand people?

To Su Nian, calling it a mosquito's leg would be an overstatement.

The only significance of this ritual was that it was like an inauguration ceremony, simply announcing to the world that the Fourth Progenitor had taken office.

It was not necessary for inheriting power, but it was very necessary for gathering Merit.

Only after completing this ritual would the world truly believe that you are the Fourth Progenitor.

Fortunately, Su Nian had simply had Qianhe Yiren remove the memory-conversion part of the ritual, focusing solely on the grand spectacle.

"Alright, stop dawdling; let me see what the resurrection of the Fourth Progenitor is actually like."

Holding her parasol and standing behind Su Nian, Nangong Nayue urged him with a mix of complex emotions and a hint of lightness.

Her feelings about being about to meet Sendou Aya were complex, but the thought of being about to shed the duties of the Prison Barrier made her feel exceptionally light.

Upon hearing Nangong Nayue's urging, Su Nian smiled slightly.

"As you wish."

Twelve illusory wings of light extended from behind him, one of which was already radiating a rainbow-like glow.

That was the radiance of the soul of Agulora, who had already entered Su Nian's body.

Puchi! Puchi!

The remaining eleven wings of light pierced into the eleven Vessels, and immediately following, starting from the point of contact, the wings gradually suffused with rainbow-colored light.

The Familiars representing the Zodiac were gradually entering Su Nian's body.

Throughout the entire process, Su Nian released his magic power without any concealment.

Weng weng weng!

The atmosphere was constantly producing a humming sound; centered on Su Nian, a massive amount of magic power was vented across the entire space of Itogami Island.

And among these, the third wing of light on Su Nian's back was trembling slightly.

The third Familiar, Dragon-Snake Mercury, whose ability was to devour space, was the ability with the best compatibility with him.

Under Su Nian's manipulation, that power turned into vibration; it was affecting the stability of the surrounding space, forcing out the Prison Barrier.

"Always doing such troublesome things."

Nangong Nayue rolled her eyes in annoyance; did he really think she didn't know that what Su Nian was best at, and what he played with most skillfully, was space?

Forcing out the Prison Barrier was just a matter of moving a finger for him, yet Su Nian had used this troublesome method without hesitation.

Based on her understanding of Su Nian, this was probably another big scene, likely just to tell the world: Nangong Nayue, I have rescued her.

Although there was no point to this, after all, the high-level officials of the Itogami Island Artificial Island Management Corporation were all under their control.

But thinking of this, the corners of Nangong Nayue's mouth couldn't help but lift slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Just at this moment, Nangong Nayue's figure appeared with black and white pixels, like a television that had lost its signal.

"Has it been forced out already?"

Nangong Nayue exclaimed in surprise, then turned her head to look at Su Nian and said with a smile.

"I'll wait for you in the Prison Barrier; don't make me wait too long."

As soon as the words fell, Nangong Nayue's figure had already vanished.

At the same time, Su Nian opened his eyes; what appeared before him was Nangong Nayue, who was leaning her head against a chair, fast asleep.

Su Nian snapped his fingers, and a chair identical to Nangong Nayue's appeared behind him; Su Nian sat down, propped his head up with one hand, and just watched the mature-woman-form Nangong Nayue quietly with his head tilted.

Contrary to Su Nian's expectations, although Nangong Nayue in the Prison Barrier was in a deep sleep state, it did not mean that her body had stopped developing.

On the contrary, Nangong Nayue had developed quite well.

Her mature yet still somewhat childish face leaned gently against the back of the chair; unlike the Nangong Nayue outside who liked to wear gothic-style long dresses, the Nangong Nayue inside the Prison Barrier was wearing a simple loungewear dress.

It actually had a unique charm.

Finally, under Su Nian's eager gaze, Nangong Nayue couldn't hold it anymore and opened her eyes, looking at Su Nian with a hint of shame and anger.

"Couldn't you have waited a bit longer before coming?"

"Why come so early?"

"Of course, it's to see little Nayue as soon as possible... ah no, I can't call her little Nayue anymore, I should say it's to see the sleeping face of big Nayue-chan."

Su Nian looked Nangong Nayue up and down and said.

A super rare beautiful girl with both loli and mature-woman forms, she shares the same attributes as Leticia, how rare.

"You've got quite a figure, Nayue-chan!"

Su Nian couldn't help but give a thumbs up to evaluate.

"Shut up, it's just letting the body match the age in the dream."

Nangong Nayue glared at Su Nian in annoyance, but seeing that Su Nian was attracted to her mature self, she was also somewhat proud.

"So it was only in the dream."

Su Nian said with a bit of regret, though the half-smiling expression on his face remained undiminished.

"It's the same in reality, okay!"

Nangong Nayue said in near self-abandonment; she really had no way to deal with this shameless guy Su Nian.

"But I also really like Nayue-chan in her loli form."

Nangong Nayue spat and said in annoyance.

"Stop saying those messy things, hurry up and injure me now."

"Huh?"

Facing this strange request, even Su Nian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

At this time, Nangong Nayue snorted and said.

"The Prison Barrier can be broken, but it cannot be broken by me; just treat it as my final stubbornness."

"Clearly it's just that you can't actively break the Devil contract."

Su Nian muttered in a low voice, yet the muttering was clearly audible in the hall.

"So noisy."

Nangong Nayue glared at Su Nian in annoyance, only feeling that this man in front of her was truly her nemesis.

Anyway, every time, she would be angered by him until she had no temper left.

Su Nian smiled, and without a word, he directly picked up Nangong Nayue, placed her on his lap, and said softly.

"Be careful, Nayue-chan."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Nayue took a deep breath, trying her best to keep her mood peaceful, but in the end, she couldn't hold it together.

"I told you to injure me, not to injure me like this!"

Nangong Nayue shouted in extreme embarrassment, but in the end, she still couldn't struggle out of Su Nian's embrace.
