He hadn't expected anyone on this battlefield to approach him so silently, let alone directly grab his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His instincts screamed at him to instantly crush whatever had grasped him. But after a split-second consideration, he restrained his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the only person who could approach without triggering his danger senses would be her. Turning his head slightly, his eyes met Xie Antong's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found himself speechless. Any response now would betray the \"arrogance\" his mask demanded. Yet what reaction was appropriate here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong tightened her grip slightly, her fingers tracing the bones of his hand with practiced ease. All remaining doubts vanished - it was definitely him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You've hidden yourself quite well...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you really going to pass up this rare divine energy absorption? It's part of the game's requirements,\" Xie Antong said casually, looking up at the golden mask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression remained composed and natural, as if this were the most reasonable course of action. As if this were merely completing a game ritual to gain benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce: \"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long silence, he finally spoke: \"The strong don't need power from others. Especially not... this weak variety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\" Xie Antong nodded. \"But you also said all power in this world belongs to you. You're just reclaiming what's yours - what's the problem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce found himself at a loss for words - not because he couldn't respond, but because his focus was divided. He had no objection to completing the game's ritual with Xie Antong to gain strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet her behavior gave him an inexplicable sense of unease. Since when had she become so decisive in matters like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could process this, Xie Antong turned and led him forward by the hand toward the castle's center. Even in ruins, the center remained the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce offered no resistance, following her lead at a measured pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong walked ahead, a faint smile playing on her lips. What was she smiling about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That axe - a weapon so heavy it shocked deities, wrapped around a stone like it weighed nothing. That man - possessing the world's greatest physique and strength, lifting the golden axe effortlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning if he didn't want to move, no force in this world could make him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong led Lu Ce to the central clearing, where Sun and Shui Zhongmeng stood hand in hand nearby. Above them, swirling pink energy formed a small vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Ce and Xie Antong approached, another funnel began forming in the sky, channeling energy downward toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a ceremony chosen by desire, fueled by the love in people's hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No rainbow bridge. No cheering crowds. No magnificent palace or radiant heavenly light. Just ruins, blood, broken corpses, slaughtered guards, and a shattered princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet in this setting, the wedding commenced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun immediately noticed the energy nourishing his body being siphoned away. Seeing the newcomers \"stealing\" their power, anger surged within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he knew this was inevitable - the game's final task after all. With the power of desire and the \"Dream Wedding\" scenario, initiating conflict now would be disastrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just couldn't help feeling irritated... Why did their energy vortex look bigger than ours? Their effects seemed superior too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he understood the wedding must continue, the specifics eluded him. He'd been trying his best to psyche himself up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Love? He barely understood the concept. Desire, now that he grasped. But... that despicable guy over there couldn't possibly understand this stuff either!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouldn't that bastard be even worse than me?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tch... must be because they have an actual woman on their side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at me!\" Sun suddenly barked at Shui Zhongmeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shui Zhongmeng, already uncomfortable, nearly jumped out of his skin. \"What?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look at me properly. Pretend to be affectionate. You're feminine enough - can't you psyche yourself into it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Feminine?! My orientation's perfectly normal! Why don't you imagine yourself as the woman?\" Shui Zhongmeng shuddered in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one look at Sun's murderous, twisted expression confirmed the impossibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least maintain eye contact,\" Sun growled through clenched teeth. \"Their effects are better than ours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No shit! They're an actual couple - of course it's different!\" Shui Zhongmeng rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when? At most they're using each other.\" Sun scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shui Zhongmeng gave him a sidelong glance, too exasperated to respond. This is your limit? No talent for this whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While their side resembled a farce, Lu Ce and Xie Antong's atmosphere remained serene. Simply holding hands, their effects already surpassed the bizarre pair nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing their exchange, Xie Antong smiled. Gazing up at the golden mask's sculpted features, she suddenly realized this might be her most beautiful in-game moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps emboldened by the power of Desire's Chosen, she found unexpected courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rising on her toes, she brushed her lips lightly against the golden mask's cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fleeting touch of cold metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong's face flushed deeply, as if all her previous injections had instantly lost effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this was just a game. Though none of it was real.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today... consider me married.\u003C\u002Fp>",861,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.234Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab67df882d574816e61211de701bc01c3981da4dbb6f7a9a35452f8be30b1480","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-327","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-325",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
