Chapter 514 His little sun

Around noon, the first snow gradually stopped.

The gloomy sky that had been overcast for days finally cleared up, leaving no clouds in sight. Warm sunlight streamed through the window into the bedroom, waking the sleeping figure in bed.

Shen Tang rubbed her sleepy eyes and woke up from her dream.

She lay on the large bed in Jialan Palace, surrounded by gossamer-thin white gauze curtains. She had changed into a new nightgown and felt no discomfort.

Jialan has water-based superpowers, making everything she does very convenient.

Recalling what happened last night, Shen Tang's cheeks flushed slightly.

What kind of cat eats fish...?

Clearly, the fish ate her!
Good morning, Tangtang.

Jialan woke up when she heard the noise. Her arm was still around her waist. She instinctively tightened her embrace, pulling the female closer to her, and lowered her head to kiss her lips.

Shen Tang wrapped her arms around his waist and back, responding to the overly sweet good morning kiss.

Jialan looked at the female in her arms, gently smoothing her slightly disheveled hair with her fingertips. Her azure eyes shimmered with boundless tenderness and joy, yet this was not even a fraction of the warmth in her heart.

"Tangtang." He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice tender and affectionate. "My little sun."

Being near her made him feel warm, like being in a beautiful dream he never wanted to wake up from.

[Congratulations, host! Jialan's favorability has increased by 10!]

Shen Tang felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
The two cuddled in bed for a while longer, and just as Jialan was about to launch another offensive, a knock on the door interrupted him. "Mistress, it's getting late, time to get up and have dinner."

It's Lu Xiao.

Jialan glanced unhappily at the doorway, but still let go of Shen Tang, kissed her cheek, and helped her straighten her slightly disheveled clothes.

The two then went out for a meal.

Lu Xiao prepared a sumptuous lunch.

After the meal, he handed over a document and said meaningfully, "Good news, the rebels have officially announced their withdrawal."

"Chief Necro proclaimed to the world that he would never again invade the border. This was the specific agreement signed with them by our envoys."

Shen Tang's heart skipped a beat. She looked down at the agreement in her hand, a complex feeling welling up inside her.

Fortunately, it ended well, so it can be considered a happy ending for everyone.

The soldiers at the front were also very surprised when they heard the news. They were prepared to fight to the death to protect the country and were ready to fight the vicious rebels to the bitter end. They did not expect that the enemy would retreat completely!

This is such an unexpected and wonderful thing!
[Host, do you want to use the Scissors of Fate to completely sever your ties with Necro?] the system prompted.

Shen Tang asked in surprise, "Can I still use the Scissors of Fate?"

[Yes, host. The Scissors of Fate have no limit on the number of uses, but each use will consume durability. The deeper the bond severed, the more durability will be consumed.]

The system explained, "[The last time the host severed his blood relation with Shen Qingli, it consumed 50% of the scissors' durability.]"

Shen Tang thought for a moment, then said, "Let's cut it then."

This farce should end.

The misunderstanding between the two was a series of unfortunate events. Now that the battle has ended, this ill-fated relationship that should never have existed should return to its original state.

Severing the connection with the scissors of fate is equivalent to erasing the residual effects of the love-at-first-sight potion. Even if Necro meets the real her in the future, he will no longer feel that spark.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully severed your ties with Necro! Durability depleted by 10%, remaining at 40%!]

Meanwhile, the rebel army had completely withdrawn from the imperial border and returned to its garrison. Necro returned to the palace, gazing at the empty halls, and felt an unprecedented loneliness welling up within him.

He walked slowly, his fingertips gently tracing the tables, chairs, and beds, as if he could still feel the warm touch left by the female, recalling her joys and sorrows.

I remember her sweet smile, her shy expression, her tearful face, her angry face...

Suddenly, Necro heard a soft "click" in the air—the sound was so faint it seemed like a hallucination, not from reality, but more like it was echoing in his mind.

Immediately, his tall figure trembled, and his dazed eyes gradually became sharp, deep, and incredibly clear.

He held his aching forehead, as if waking from a deep dream.

Staring blankly at the air in front of me, I felt like I hadn't been myself these past few days, but at this moment, I finally returned to normal.

But I felt empty inside, as if I were even emptier.

……

Although the rebels have withdrawn, the situation in the empire remains dire. Pollution continues to spread among the major empires, and even the pristine Sea Kingdom has not been spared!

The word "new" is added to the name of New Atlantis because the Atlantis was the first area affected when the pollution initially spread.

The contaminated land spreads even faster in the ocean, which is terrifying.

At that time, Atlantis, which controlled the seas, was in great chaos, struggling to fight against mutated creatures caused by external pollution and to quell internal power struggles.

Ultimately, the then-emperor of Atlantis completely abandoned the polluted "Forgotten Sea" region, joined forces with the high priests of the sea tribes to seal it off, and then allocated some territory to the rival regimes, thus establishing the current map of New Atlantis.

For centuries, under the protection of successive high priests and through the efforts of the people of the sea kingdom, New Atlantis had remained peaceful. Unexpectedly, pollution has spread again, and with overwhelming force, it seems almost unstoppable!
When Jialan received the message, her face turned pale.

New Atlantis and the Nightfall Empire are close allies. Even without personal feelings involved, Shen Tang was genuinely anxious. "Could it be that even the Temple of the Priests can't stop the spread of pollution?"

Jialan shook her head, "I haven't been back for too long, and I'm not clear about the current situation in the Sea Kingdom..."

He looked at Shen Tang and said firmly, "Tangtang, I want to go back!"

Shen Tang hugged his waist, tilted her head back and kissed his chin, "Go back! No matter what, the Night Glow Empire and I will always be your support!"

She also took out three fortress cores from her spatial storage. "Place these on the city wall. They can block pollution and erosion to a certain extent, prevent mutants from entering the city, and protect the safety of the people... These are the last three left. Take them back and give them to His Majesty Garuda."

Jialan's heart softened completely. She accepted the core and kissed her gratefully, "Thank you, Tangtang!"

“The Sea Kingdom is not only an ally of the Empire, but also your homeland and my home. This is what I should do.”

Jialan had a thousand words he wanted to say to her, but the situation was urgent, so he had no choice but to pack his things and rush back to the Sea Kingdom overnight.

Shen Tang has been extremely busy these past few days.

The situation in the Night Glow Empire is equally dire. Although it has barely managed to contain the spread of pollution, a large number of mutated beasts have broken out on the border, including some troublesome high-level mutated beasts, and even three 10th-level mutated beasts.

Shen Tang had no choice but to send Xiao Jin with elite generals to the border to guard and suppress the enemy.

Shen Tang herself also suffered an assassination attempt, by the same group of men in black of unknown origin, all of whom were at the tenth level.

Fortunately, she is now very powerful and has Xueyinzhou protecting her, so she escaped unharmed in the end.

Shen Tang knew she was being targeted; those people wanted to kill her and destroy her system, and they wouldn't give up until they achieved their goal.

Xue Yinzhou also sensed something and said in a deep voice, "Tangtang, when you were assassinated in the rebel territory last time, didn't you leave one alive? That assassin is now imprisoned in the Imperial Dungeon. Do you want to go and interrogate him yourself?"

Shen Tang was surprised that Xue Yinzhou had brought the orc back; she had assumed that they had killed him long ago after she fell into a coma.

Her eyes turned cold. "Take me to see him. Perfect timing, I have a lot of questions to ask him!"

good night~
