Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Lychee still felt that this seemed somewhat unreliable.

But the Holy Maiden of Time is exceptionally powerful.

She reached out and placed her hand on Lychee's arm, and the next moment, the room was empty.

……

……

Zuo Chang passed through the portal and returned to his office.

As soon as I landed, I heard applause.

He turned his head and saw that Blood Rose, Asuka Mayumi, and White Scale were still in the room. Asuka said, "Congratulations, General. You have fully demonstrated what it means to have a clever plan. It is beyond my expectations that you have obtained the qualification for the main competition so easily."

Zuo Chang humbly replied, "It's just a small-scale operation, nothing serious."

The battle for the Grand Slam title started precisely at midnight, and now, six or seven hours later, it is already dawn.

Just as Zuo Chang was about to say something, an extremely bright spot of light suddenly appeared beside him!

Everyone present became alert, staring at the enormous energy point that had appeared out of nowhere.

Intense spatial fluctuations spread outwards!

Bai Lin frowned, his body tense: "Is this... a teleportation spell? Why is it located in the general's office?"

The activation of spatial magic requires a fulcrum for support.

A skilled spellcaster can scan the world and instantly find a reliable coordinate to teleport, but more often they pre-set a fulcrum—

But this is Zuo Chang's office.

Only those inside Sky City have ever been here. Does this scene mean:

Is there a traitor within Zuo Chang's startup team?

Before anyone else could speak, Zuo Chang immediately said, "It might be the Holy Maiden of Time."

who? !

The one who reacted the most was none other than Yaotai Feibiao!

To others, the Holy Maiden of Time might just be a supreme expert at the fifteenth level, but to Feibiao, she was a genuine "enemy."

The next instant, the light faded away.

Two people suddenly appeared in front of everyone. Neither of them was very tall, but they had extraordinary beauty.

Especially the one dressed in a nun's habit; she not only had a delicate, porcelain-doll-like face, but also an indescribable ethereal气质 (qi zhi - a kind of refined, otherworldly charm).

She seemed harmless, yet people couldn't help but keep their distance and dared not approach her!

She glanced around the room, first nodding slightly to Zuo Chang, then turning her eyes to look precisely at the flying birds on the Yao Terrace, her gaze utterly calm.

"Lord Saint?"

In the silence, Bai Lin spoke.

He looked at Zuo Chang with some surprise and asked in surprise, "This... General, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you were inviting the Holy Maiden over?"

"I wasn't invited. I came on my own."

The saint spoke, her voice clear and distinct.

She looked at Bai Lin and said, "Knight Bai Lin, it's been a long time since I've greeted you. This—"

She pointed to the birds flying on the Jade Terrace.

"—Is that Asuka Misato?"

Gulu.

Even Bai Lin didn't know how to respond.

He silently took a step back, rationally maintaining his silence, and simply looked at Zuo Chang as if everything was irrelevant to him.

Seeing that Asuka had taken a deep breath and tried her best to appear graceful, she said, "I am. Your Excellency, you are as charming as ever, truly captivating."

Every time I finish one story and start another, I always find myself at a loss for words.

Too much foreshadowing might annoy the readers; too little foreshadowing will make the rest of the story difficult to write.

Write and delete, delete and revise, and time just slips away...

Ladies and gentlemen! It's not that I'm lazy, but I'm simply not up to the task!

Today, you are all Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, while I am but Li Yan. I am in trouble with the grain transport. I hope you prime ministers will have mercy. Another cart will be here soon, very soon!

Chapter 209 The Taciturn Saintess and the Flamboyant Lychee

The atmosphere at the scene was probably a bit tense.

The Saintess of Time looked at the flying bird with a hint of confusion in her eyes and asked, "Still as beautiful as ever? Have we met before?"

Fei Niao smiled slightly: "On the day of your wedding with the general, I was watching from the crowd."

"!"

"!"

The atmosphere took a sharp turn for the worse after those words were spoken!

Zuo Chang felt a lump in his throat and suddenly felt a chill. This was probably because the Sky City was floating too high and the temperature was too low.

Blood Rose's crimson pupils trembled violently!

Her mind was a complete blank; she didn't know what to say. Left with no other option, she could only turn to look at Bai Lin.

Make sense.

The current situation may only be resolved by Bai Lin.

Apart from Zuo Chang himself, only Bai Lin knew everyone present. He was Zuo Chang's "three-time veteran" and was of noble character, trusted by everyone, and had the most authority to speak.

only……

"what is happening!"

Bai Lin's face turned ashen!

He didn't even notice Blood Rose's pleading look; he simply raised his hand and unbuttoned his collar.

The situation is far too dire!

This pressure...

It seems even bigger than when we fought the Poison Dragon King and the Grim Reaper of Bones. Should we say something to calm things down?

The battle-hardened knight had no other choice.

He thought to himself, "In the end, it's still the general's fault. Bai Lin, Bai Lin, learn from the mistakes of the past! You can't afford to touch feelings at all!"

"I see……"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of Time showed no change in expression.

She looked quietly at the bird and said, "That certainly wasn't a pleasant experience for you. I'm sorry, I wasn't aware of it beforehand."

Her understanding surprised Asuka a little.

The saintess continued, "What you felt later was exactly what I felt. After me, the general married the spice master of the Hessé family, and at that time... I felt the same humiliation as you."

"Goo."

Zuo Chang subconsciously straightened his chest, his face full of seriousness.

He panicked even more!

But apart from him, everyone else felt a little relieved, as if they were seeing an even more complicated situation.

Ultimately, everyone was afraid that the Holy Maiden of Time and the Flying Bird of Yaotai would fight each other.

By the time--

Help whom?

Now, it's unclear whether the Holy Maiden is genuinely expressing her feelings or if she simply doesn't want the conflict to escalate.

In short, by bringing up Zuo Chang's third wife, she put herself and Fei Biao on the same side, making them allies rather than adversaries, which naturally eased the tension.

but……

and then?

Zuo Chang was in a complete mess, and at this moment he had no idea where he was.

The actions that are reasonable in the game seem so out of place in real life.

Can you please explain everything honestly?

He said he hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem at the time, and all his actions were carried out without knowing the consequences, so now everyone has to start over.

That way...

Is it really possible?

"where is the bathroom?"

In the silence, someone spoke.

The crowd didn't react for a moment, and just looked at the person who had spoken—

Saintess of Time!

Even with everyone watching, the saintess's expression remained calm and composed.

She spoke clearly and asked again, "Where is the toilet?"

"Ah, oh..."

Blood Rose finally realized what was happening and quickly said, "Holy Maiden, I'll take you there."

"Ah."

Zuo Chang's office was extremely luxurious, with complete facilities. Not only did it have a room for taking a nap, but it also had a private bathroom.
