Skadi, returning to infinity

Above the clouds, a startling bird cry echoed.

A storm erupted, and sandstorms raged.

The bright sun began to dim at this moment, turning a dark yellow.

There was a black border around the edge of the sun, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

In the distance, a tornado stretched across the sky and earth.

As a series of soul-chilling sounds rang out, the members of the Tower of Babel could no longer stand.

"retreat."

The order was given directly, and the tanks that followed behind began to start.

One by one, the members of the Tower of Babel packed up their belongings and turned to the rear.

They didn't know what was happening, but the earth-shattering bird cry, the change in the sun's position, and the surrounding sandstorms all made them aware of it.

Deadly threat.

Neither the might of nature nor any other force can be provoked or resisted by them.

"You all go back with them, I'll stay here alone."

Titi returned with a frown, and Ali and Chen, who were wiping the blood off the Crimson Sky Sword, turned their gazes to her, seemingly waiting for her decision.

Skadi waved her hand, telling them to go back and not stay.

“Although I know you can handle them on your own, I don’t think I should abandon my mentor at a time like this.”

Chen looked very serious. She knew she was not strong enough, but that was not the way to abandon her comrades.

After all, she had "died" countless times in the past month and was not afraid of death at all.

Given that experience, it's normal for her not to leave.

“Let’s go.” But she didn’t leave. As if she understood, Titi walked to Chen’s side, took her hand, and left.

"I want an explanation when we get back." Chen's strength was no match for Titi's, so he could only let her pull him away.

Before leaving, Titi said this to Skadi.

"Mm." Skadi nodded in agreement.

The chariot left before the storm hit, leaving only Skadi and Ali standing there, looking at the towering bird.

It's true that whatever you want, you get.

PS: This chapter has 3000 words.

Chapter 70: "I want to know the Doctor's secret~"

Not long after Skadi and her companions set off, a guest arrived at the Tower of Babel.

The guest was dressed very conservatively, wearing a black veil hat that completely covered his head.

Several guards, also wearing straw hats, followed him, with two maid-like girls behind them.

Theresa, who was handling official business with Kal'tsit, received a message and then let these people in.

After entering, the woman wearing a black veil said a few words to those behind her, then waved them out.

"Little Kal'tsit, you can go out too. Just leave me and her here."

Theresa looked at Kal'tsit and offered a reminder.

"...Hmm." Although she wasn't sure if the other party would pose a danger to Theresa, they had already sent everyone away, and she was still here guarding the place.

That's not good either.

Besides, Theresa has the protective long dress Skadi provided, so she's not really in any danger.

"Please have a seat, Madam Chen."

After everyone else had left, Theresa pointed to the spot in front of her and said softly.

"I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

After taking off her hat, Mrs. Chen had a faint smile on her face.

"In the past two months, I have contacted Mrs. Chen more than ten times in the form of documents and letters."

Even though I was prepared, I still couldn't help but marvel at the lady's beauty.

Theresa's words were not a compliment, even though Mrs. Chen had been married twice and had two daughters.

But she still looks very young; the figure of a mature woman and the beauty of a young woman combine to create a very unique charm.

So Theresa's words were, in a sense, the truth. However, such truth had little effect on Madam Chen.

"Alright, Theresa, you don't need to flatter me like that."

"I've come to tell you something."

Mrs. Chen and Theresa made contact after Skadi returned.

After all, Wei Yanwu needed to pay for Babet's medical treatment, so Mrs. Chen, the "patient," took this opportunity to ask Wei Yanwu for Theresa's contact information.

Mode.

Although she didn't know what her sister wanted to do, this was the only time in over a decade that Madam Chen had made a request to Wei Yanwu.

Despite the fact that such a request was somewhat against regulations, Wei Yanwu secretly had Lady Wenyue send the message over.

However, he also warned against reckless actions, as they could worsen the relationship between Lungmen and Babel.

Mrs. Chen neither confirmed nor denied this.

On her first day, she took the initiative to reveal her identity and started communicating directly with Theresa.

With this beginning, the relationship between Mrs. Chen and Theresa quickly warmed up.

Not long after, Mrs. Chen explained her thoughts to Theresa, specifically mentioning that Chen would come to Babel after things had stabilized.

Ta and Skadi study

That's why, when Chen suddenly appeared in front of Skadi's gate a month ago, Kal'tsit and Theresa didn't mind at all, and were even quite aware of it.

It amused Chen and Skadi to communicate.

This was all planned and carried out without Skadi's knowledge.

After all, Skadi was preoccupied with dealing with internal traitors during that period, so this plan was designed to avoid distracting her and also to give her a "surprise."

Theresa deliberately kept this matter hidden.

Theresa had already made preparations for Chen's arrival after hearing Kal'tsit and Skadi talk about Lungmen.

But to her surprise, three days ago, Mrs. Chen sent an email saying that she would be visiting the Tower of Babel.

Moreover, he visited in the capacity of "Dragon Gate Envoy," not in his personal capacity.

That's really interesting.

I'm just visiting in my personal capacity; at most, I'll come here to have some fun and see my daughter.

However, if the visit is made under the guise of a "Dragon Gate Envoy," then there are many shady dealings involved.

Theresa thought of something, but instead of stopping them, she agreed to the request.

Kal'tsit knew this too, which is why she didn't insist on staying when Theresa asked her to leave.

Now that it's just the two of them here, they can talk freely about anything.

"Ugh, wearing this thing is such a hassle."

"It's hard to imagine the doctor wearing this every day; it must be very tiring, right?"

Mrs. Chen tidied her hair, feeling quite unhappy about wearing the hat.

"There's no way around it; the doctor has to take care of his image and can't let others know the whole story."

She started by asking a PhD student a question. Should we say she went straight to the point or that she was implying something?

"The image of the Doctor?"

Mrs. Chen looked at her with great interest.

She knew very little about the doctor.

She had asked, but Theresa didn't want her to know, and said very little during their conversation.

Now that she finally had the chance to ask in person, Madam Chen was naturally very eager to know.

Standing up, Theresa went to the other desk and slowly brewed a pot of tea.

As she did this, she asked curiously, "Didn't Chen tell you anything about the doctor?"

"She didn't say much, but she wouldn't even let me see what the doctor really looked like when I asked her to."

"Oh dear, daughters grow up and leave home." This is a completely different image from the sickly, depressed patient she was two months ago.

Mrs. Chen also seemed to be making a great effort to move on from the past.

After all, it was a mental illness that had troubled her for more than a decade, and it wasn't something that could be changed just by wanting to.

Her arrival here as a "Dragon Gate Messenger" is a major step in her pursuit of change.

However, her purpose seems to be somewhat impure, not just as simple as "Dragon Gate Envoy".

Am I mistaken?

Theresa was puzzled, but she felt her gut feeling was probably right. So what was going on?

"The doctor's secret is still very important, besides..."

At this moment, Theresa turned to look at Madam Chen, "Madam, do you really not know what the Doctor truly looks like?"

"Actually, Madam wants to see how the Doctor is different at home compared to other times, right?"

The scene where Skadi transforms into the Holy Sword Goddess is visible to everyone in Lungmen.
