Chapter 462: Another Ally Joins

As soon as those words were spoken, the private room fell silent for a moment.

Luo Jinyou also never expected to hear these words from Min Tianyou's mouth; he even wondered if this person had come to Heavenly Dome City just to hunt him down, though he felt it shouldn't be that extreme.

Min Tianyou remained as calm as ever, but it's a shame that Ying Duo still had that blank face, while Luo Jinyou's expressions were far more entertaining.

He spread his hands in feigned helplessness, saying, "There's no way; if I don't quit, I can't even leave Tianmian City, let alone come to a casino to earn a living—something the Supervision Bureau has expressly forbidden."

The first half is understandable; after all, he's a precious prophet of the Aberrant Arts, and the Supervision Bureau treats him like a treasure.

Doesn't that defy logic? How could the Supervision Bureau agree to let someone like him resign?

But Min Tianyou is even less likely to be here as an undercover agent—who would send a renowned Aberrant Arts practitioner into the enemy's lair to spy?

Min Tianyou must have sneaked here on his own.

"Your personal request?" Ying Duo asked, his tone unchanging, pressing further.

"Put simply, I want to take revenge on someone, but the Supervision Bureau would never approve if they knew, so I quit and ran away, coming to Heavenly Dome City on my own to find my enemy."

Luo Jinyou always felt that this person was leaving out a lot.

This is simply too terse.

Could today be some sort of wasteland revenge day? Why does everyone seem to want to get revenge?

Ying Duo sensed that even this seven-day Heavenly Dome City wouldn't stay quiet, but that's fine—more chaos is better; the messier the scene, the easier it is for him to profit from the turmoil.

"Who are you going to kill again?"

Min Tianyou decisively ignored the "again" in Ying Duo's words, and his eyes instantly turned cold.

"'Queen Bee'."

What a coincidence—he wanted that too.

He hadn't expected an unexpected ally, but Ying Duo's expression remained unchanged; instead, he tilted his head to look at Min Tianyou.

"So, you're asking me not to stop you from killing my teammate?"

Yang Yixie really wonders where Min Tianyou gets the nerve—you, a frail prophet with no weapons, dare to openly declare in the enemy's lair that you want to kill Mei Weis?

Moreover, Ying Duo and Luo Jinyou are nominally members of Co-Absorption.

"No, it's a request."

Min Tianyou corrected him, seriously meeting Ying Duo's gaze.

"Why do you think I'd agree, rather than report you straight to the Dome?"

He really speaks his mind.

Min Tianyou doesn't believe Yang Yixie is that loyal to the Dome—just after returning to Heavenly Dome City, he let the Dome Headquarters treat him the same as Tianmian City.

If Ying Duo's loyalty were just a tiny crack, he thought the Dome's boss would surely have been moved to tears.

"What if I say I believe in the bond we've forged through life-and-death together?"

As Min Tianyou said this, he looked quite serious, and Luo Jinyou momentarily doubted.

He knew Min Tianyou had known Ying Duo for a while—were they close?

Ying Duo felt nauseated; a slight twitch of his finger summoned a cannon onto his shoulder, its barrel aimed at Min Tianyou's head.

Facing that dark hole, Min Tianyou's expression didn't change, but fine cracks appeared in his beautiful pupils.

The temperature in the private room plummeted, but the cannon barrel on Ying Duo's shoulder merely emitted a faint hum as it began to charge.

【Charging energy...... (charging speed slowed due to low temperature)】

Ying Duo seemed serious; upon realizing this, Luo Jinyou immediately entered a state of alert.

Although I don't know why he suddenly turned hostile, first protect Ying Duo, then we'll talk.

Luo Jinyou's hand moved faster than his thought; a jade-like shield instantly enveloped them, blocking the ice shards flying from all directions.

The ice shards shattered into smaller ice particles, but the icy mist condensed directly inside the shield.

Luo Jinyou felt his fingers freezing and stiffening, and the icy mist quickly coalesced into a vague humanoid shape.

It had lovely long hair, suggesting a woman, but lacked facial features and details—only a rough outline.

Then she opened her mouth, exhaling a gust of cold like a blizzard sweeping inside a bottle.

Luo Jinyou tried to raise another shield, but Ying Duo instead lunged straight at the humanoid figure formed by the mist.

Luo Jinyou gritted his teeth, pressed his palms together, and tried to use his energy to wrap the spreading mist.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead; clearly manipulating this power wasn't easy for him, and the micro-blizzard within hinted at turning into a tornado, trying to break his energy seal.

Ying Duo shot straight through the afterimage of the mist, grasping nothing.

But after that humanoid shape dissipated, the icy mist in Luo Jinyou's jade seal also gradually faded.

Luo Jinyou glared at Min Tianyou, remembering that his Aberrant Arts manifestation was ice-related—this was clearly his doing.

What does attacking suddenly mean? Did he think he could keep both of them here?

Luo Jinyou's right hand curled into a claw; perhaps he himself hadn't realized that his attack style had changed along with his species.

Ying Duo's landing posture was ungraceful; he lunged forward, hit the ground empty-handed, and made a dull thud.

It was as if he'd been knocked silly by a fall, and he lay there for a while before getting up.

Ying Duo crouched on the ground; although it appeared only briefly, being close, he still managed to press it before the magnifying-glass icon vanished.

【Name: Min Xingyao (Lv. 52)】

【Title: Jester in the Mirror】

【Age: 26】

【Race: Spiritual Body】

【Affiliation: Church】

【Favorability: 50 (Friendly)】

【Current Status: Deceased, Weak, Attached Spirit】

He said Min Tianyou where did that nerve come from, sure enough he's hiding a trump card.

Level 52, huh......

By the way, can a soul kill?

Wait, in this world the soul bodies can actually be counted as a separate species?

Ying Duo now believes Min Tianyou has the ability to kill Meiweis.

"Do you still want to fight?"

The ice fissures covering Min Tianyou's eyes gradually began to fade, and he looked at Ying Duo with eyes full of wariness.

His sister, as soon as she returned, only told him one sentence.

"He discovered it."

"Never mind, but I cannot grant your earlier request."

Ying Duo, somewhat stiffly, crawled up from the floor and sat back on the sofa, as if the earlier clash had never happened.

Min Tianyou frowned slightly at the words; based on his earlier Observation Key, Ying Duo seemed indifferent to his colleague's life or death and had no intention to strike him—didn't he see that the cannons had already been withdrawn?

Not planning to block him, nor to report him to the Dome, and still not accepting his request, choosing to watch from the sidelines......

Wait, this guy isn't trying to!

"You see, you a fragile prophet killing Aberrant Species in Heavenly Dome City is quite inconvenient; considering what was said before, let's discuss cooperation."
