I am the old, fiery-faced man from the senior department.

That's not justice.

The dragon interrupted her.

"Even if this war is lost, your Demon King will not die, because she is the Sarkaz Queen, the Demon King. The other party is not only her subject, but also her brother. What she has sacrificed is only some of her own kind... or even some Sarkaz who are not even her own kind."

“You know perfectly well what my presence here signifies. Kazdel will not be restored, and the Great Yan will not waste its national strength in this useless place.”

"...If it's just about suppressing their offensive and giving us time to recuperate, what kind of reward should I pay you?"

The dragon stood up expressionlessly and slowly walked to her.

"...I will help you because we made an agreement, and I hate people who break their promises."

"But...that's all."

Returning to a 52-year-old director's dream

"Kal'tsit, do you know what caused this thunderstorm? I asked the Doctor, but she's upset because her mission was forced to end, and she told me to ask you."

"Kal'tsit, are you listening?"

Gazing at the thunderstorm that separated heaven and earth like a rift valley, Phil sighed deeply, his heart filled with mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.

"No need to worry, Theresa. That's the help I've found."

"We now have enough time to recuperate, and everyone can take a breather."

"foreign aid?"

The Sarkaz girl was taken aback.

She had a vague idea of ​​who had triggered the thunderstorm.

Who else could be but him, who is both a friend of Film and the one who can control the celestial phenomena?

But what method did she use to get that person to help them, the demons?

"I'd like to take a day off, Theresa, is that alright?"

"Of course, Kal'tsit, you should have gotten some rest a long time ago."

Since Phil didn't answer, she didn't press the matter further.

She sensed an extremely complex emotion emanating from Felin.

"Thank you, Theresa."

Phil turned around and left alone.

"As agreed, I held off Theresis's forces for you. The Thunder Zone will remain until you are ready."

Filin silently closed the door, then slowly turned around and leaned against it.

"What, you don't want to introduce me to her?"

"Is it because you're afraid I'll crush her because of my hatred, or do you think that I, as a mercenary, have no need to know the Demon King?"

"..."

As Zhenlong glanced at Feilin's already unconcealed haggard face, his pent-up resentment intensified.

"In such a barren place, to consume one's body like this, even sudden death would not be worthy of pity."

"..."

Felin opened her mouth to reply, but her body couldn't muster any strength to speak, and her vision suddenly blurred and shifted.

"...I really don't know what kind of bewitching spell that demon king used on you."

Zhenlong caught Felin before she fell, pursed his lips, and carried her to the bed.

"Shut up, go to sleep. We'll talk when you wake up."

He casually pulled the thin blanket over Feilin, then Zhenlong ignored it and got up to return to his chair.

"..."

Felin raised her hand and tugged at the blanket, as if trying to unfold the quilt, but her aching hand couldn't budge it no matter how hard she pulled.

That's fine.

Filin lowered his arms and closed his eyes, which he hadn't closed for three days.

After several days of staying up late, I could still speak and walk if I was standing; but if I lay down, I would fall asleep the moment my head hit the pillow.

"..."

Is it so hard to just tell me?

He unfolded her blanket and covered her up again, took off her shoes that were in the way, and seeing that Fei Lin's brows were still furrowed even in her sleep, Bai Zhou also frowned and reached out to smooth them out.

"This is much better. If you have to think about things even when you're sleeping, it would be too tiring."

"..."

Bai Zhou left the house and gently closed the door.

It's time to go back.

I'll go back and take care of some things for a few days, and then I'll go check on Huijie and Xiaota's situations.

and also……

"Yo-ho! My dear Little White!"

When the daylight returned to Guanyu with a special prayer, it was immediately covered in something, and my right cheek was gently bitten, leaving a mouthful of saliva.

"I've missed you so much, sister."

The red and white fairy clung to him like a koala, its white tail wagging like a perrotin.

"Sister, I miss you too."

The dragon smiled and embraced her.

How much do you want to think about it?

"I really, really want to."

Nian chuckled, then pressed her face against his other cheek, took a deep breath, and savored the joy of their reunion.

"Alright, Ninth Brother, come down quickly."

Only when her brother called out did Nian reluctantly let go of him.

"May the Divine Lord be well."

"How have you been, sir?"

"It's okay."

After exchanging greetings, the elder brother invited him inside to rest.

"Tea from Huangyue, snacks from Wu region."

The two sat facing each other around the table, drinking tea and chatting about everyday things.

"Hey, Xiaobai, let's go eat out later."

The immortal tugged at his sleeve and whispered something to him.

"What would you like to eat, sister?"

During the day, Bai Zhou picked up a ripe chestnut, peeled it, and handed it to Nian. The latter stared at the chestnut for a moment, then leaned forward slightly and ate it in one bite with a "whoosh."

"Phew, how about I go eat something spicy to wake myself up?"

She had slept for a long time, and her mouth was dry and bland. She couldn't wait to eat something with a strong flavor to cheer herself up.

"Naturally."

After chatting with his brother for a while, Bai Zhou bid him farewell amidst Nian's nagging, and then took Nian to stroll around the capital city looking for shops.

"Although it has been transformed into a mobile city, I don't think the city has ever moved once."

"It feels like such a waste that we have to keep maintaining those mobile devices all the time."

Nian watched the changes in the city with great interest, his mouth full of words of emotion.

"Although there are no natural disasters to avoid, mobile cities are still indispensable as a necessity now and for a long time to come."

It can be useless, but it cannot be absent.

"Well, let those in charge worry about these things."

The year was quickly diverted by new things.

She pointed to the image on a billboard and asked him:

"Hey, Xiaobai, is that some new play?"

"Oh, that's a movie trailer. It's something like... The Peach Blossom Spring. It's about a poor boy who accidentally wanders into a secluded village while fishing. He discovers that the people there are still living in the past era, and then there are all sorts of misunderstandings and disputes between the people of the present and the villagers. In the end, they resolve their misunderstandings and live together."

"Hmm, I remember I was supposed to appear in it too."

He glanced at it during the day, and then recounted the general plot of the movie that same year.

Movies... well, they just sound like a variation of drama.

but……

"Huh? Little White has made an appearance too?"

This makes me even more interested in the year.

"You're not talking about the kind of 'appearance' where you're supposed to be the one shouting 'Spare the execution!' right?"

In the past, dragons in dramas only did this kind of thing.

"...Well, you'll see when you see it, sister."

Bai Zhou chuckled twice and then said:

"So, sister, do you want to go take a look?"

"Hmm, since you recommend it so much, I'll definitely go check it out."
