Chapter 1069

Aisi Desi placed the teacup in her hand on the table and gazed at the empty space beside her, her voice calm.

"It should be coming soon!"

Najehtan paused mid-motion, instinctively following Aisi Desi's gaze to the side—nothing there.

She frowned, about to ask, when the empty space before her twisted, and a figure clad in black gothic lolita attire suddenly materialized out of thin air.

"...... It's you who arrived first?"

Aisi Desi gave Wugeng Liuli a strange look.

"Perhaps something came up with my lord."

Wugeng Liuli smiled faintly, utterly at ease, and sat down beside the table, relaxed and composed.

As if she were in her own home.

"......"

Najehtan stared silently at Aisi Desi—wasn't it Chihong who was supposed to come? Who could explain to her who this exquisite young girl in black gothic lolita attire was? Yet a thread of gravity rose in Najehtan's heart, for she saw that Aisi Desi was treating Wugeng Liuli with complete equality.

If the other were not powerful enough, Aisi Desi, who upheld the principle of strength above all, would never adopt such a stance.

This clearly meant...... the girl before them was an unimaginably powerful warrior.

"Oh! By the way,"

Wugeng Liuli suddenly remembered something and turned to Najehtan, "You're the heir that Mengqi Lage found, aren't you?"

Najehtan's wary expression froze, and she stammered, "You are—"

"I'm a friend of Mengqi Lage! You may call me Wugeng Liuli, or Black Cat."

"Either is fine!"

Wugeng Liuli paused slightly, then whispered softly, "Mengqi Lage asked me to send you his greetings."

"So that's it! So you are indeed Mr. Mengqi Lage's friend...... I am deeply apologetic for my rudeness!"

Najehtan took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed slightly to Wugeng Liuli.

Wugeng Liuli did not return the bow; neither did Aisi Desi, who froze in place.

They both turned their heads toward the direction where Wugeng Liuli had appeared.

At that spot, the void twisted again, and Su Han's figure slowly coalesced from nothingness.

"You arrived this quickly? That exceeds my expectations."

Su Han saw Aisi Desi and Najehtan drinking tea, and was immediately surprised.

How much time had passed? You got here this fast?

"I sent a message, then after Najehtan agreed, I used the space-transfer array—Shangri-La—installed in the Prime Minister's residence and teleported here directly...... I thought this speed was normal!"

Aisi Desi nodded slightly, then added, "If you were going to come, you'd still need to wait a while longer."

"Is that so?"

Su Han nodded thoughtfully, though he wanted to complain—when did this world of Black Bullet have telephones? Aisi Desi, sensing his confusion, did not withhold explanation: "Telephones are not yet widespread! Their numbers are still scarce."

"The blueprint for the telephone was originally obtained by Mr. Mengqi Lage through an exchange with Mr. Tony."
