As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

During this period, the nobles who were manipulated by Abigail were exhausted both physically and mentally, and several nobles even suffered a complete mental breakdown.

The nobles had gathered to discuss how to solve Abigail's problem, but the final result was that Abigail simply threw the group into the wilderness for a survival test.

In the end, very few of these people were able to return, and they all looked like refugees.

What puzzled Abigail was that despite being tricked like this, these people still didn't leave the city, and even more and more nobles were moving from other cities to Leander.

Abigail had no idea what they were thinking, nor was she interested in knowing. All she knew was that she was getting more and more toys.

As Abigail pranked more and more nobles, the name "Golden Demon" resounded throughout the noble circles of Leander.

Later on, whenever Abigail appeared, the nobles who saw her would flee without hesitation, even though it was futile. This reflects the nobles' fear and helplessness towards Abigail.

Similarly, during these ten days, Ye Feng gradually noticed something was wrong with himself. At first, he didn't know why Ivan would turn his face away and avoid looking at him every time they met. Until one time, when they accidentally bumped into each other, he realized that Ivan's behavior was a bit strange, and he even seemed to want to take advantage of him.

Fortunately, Ye Feng was no pushover either. After sending Ivan flying, Ivan recovered.

Then, Ivan gave Ye Feng a mirror, and Ye Feng finally understood his own situation.

But it was better not to know; once he did, his first feeling was one of dread.

You know, he and Ivan were old friends. Ivan could be said to have truly loved only Messier with all his heart, but Abigail's charm was able to turn Ivan back into the way he was before. This must be more than just a change in appearance.

He could imagine what kind of situation he would face if he walked down the street in the future.

A head full of sweat... sweat pouring down like rain...

Then I'd be sweating buckets!

The scene was absolutely stunning.

Moreover, it was indeed too beautiful, or rather, too effeminate. Ye Feng finally understood why there had been a set of women's clothes outside the bathroom earlier; at first, he thought Ivan was trying to disgust him.

Upon learning of this, his first thought was to go find Abigail, but when he remembered Abigail's "sweet" smile, he chickened out.

But if I don't resolve my own problems, things are fine while we're in the shelter. There are four of us, and only Ivan is affected. And Ivan is consciously avoiding the issue. But if, after we leave the shelter, all men are affected, even if I'm strong enough not to be forcibly turned into a "weapon," it'll still be incredibly annoying.

To solve this problem, Ye Feng tried many methods and finally found a relatively feasible one.

Then one day, Abigail suddenly discovered that Ye Feng was completely wrapped in a black cloth, looking just like a ninja.

Ye Feng had no choice but to wrap himself up like a ninja. But it was indeed the easiest way to solve his current problem.

At least for now, Ivan won't be affected, although he'll often be mocked.

Normally, Ivan wouldn't mock someone in this situation, but he still held a grudge about Ye Feng's betrayal. Although they were now allies because of Abigail, since they couldn't settle things with a fight, some banter was acceptable. Ye Feng's current predicament gave Ivan just enough reason to laugh.

Faced with Ivan's ridicule, Ye Feng naturally had to retort. As time went on, the relationship between the two became something that was hard to say whether it was good or bad.

Of course, according to Abigail, the two were having an affair.

Although neither of them would admit it.

Finally, as the army drew ever closer, the nobles of Leander realized that the situation was hopeless. Most importantly, the lower-ranking nobles and the guests were unaware that Marvin had not appeared for more than ten days. However, as the army continued to approach and the situation became increasingly tense, Marvin, who should have come out to stabilize morale, still did not appear. The lower-ranking nobles were not fools and quickly guessed that something might have happened to Marvin.

Thus, without a central figure, even the united great nobles could not reassure the lesser nobles. The entire noble group quickly disintegrated; after all, they had gathered for their own interests, and none wanted to jeopardize their fortunes here.

In the minds of most nobles, they figured that they, as minor nobles, couldn't significantly influence the situation anyway, and that as long as they fled back to their own territories, they wouldn't be implicated later.

This has been the case at least many times throughout the history of empires.

However, they underestimated Ivan's determination. Ivan had originally planned to let them disappear naturally, meaning they would gradually lose power during his reforms. After all, reforms must be carried out gradually; rushing them could backfire. But what happened this time made it impossible for Ivan to tolerate the existence of these nobles any longer.

Therefore, after the army recaptured Leander, Ivan immediately began his campaign against the entire country. All the nobles who resisted and refused to surrender were defeated and turned into criminals, forced to perform various dangerous and arduous tasks.

As for the nobles who surrendered after seeing the situation clearly, they were slightly better off. At least they retained a considerable amount of wealth, although they no longer had noble status or various privileges.

In short, during this nearly six-month-long reform, all the old aristocratic forces in the empire were purged, and new aristocratic forces rose to power. However, these nobles were different from the old ones; they were all selected from the bottom and had no hereditary power. Simply put, their power was earned through their own efforts; they were all capable individuals, not the former parasites.

Seeing the rise of these new noble forces, the common people were also celebrating, because due to the new system, they might also become one of these nobles. Simply put, apart from the royal family, there are no longer any hereditary nobles in the empire.

However, none of these people knew that Ivan was actually incapable of having children, so what the empire would ultimately become depended entirely on Ivan's future plans.

During this period, Abigail actually asked Ivan if he wanted immortality.

However, after much hesitation, Ivan rejected Abigail's offer.

他 说:

"Immortality is not what he pursues. He only wants to spend his life with Messier. If possible, he wants to grow old with Messier and live and die together."

Ultimately, Abigail granted his wish, binding their lives together. Moreover, at Ivan's request, Abigail used Messil's life as the foundation. When the body Messil now possesses crumbles, it will be the moment their lives end together.

At the time, Ye Feng joked that if Ivan wanted to achieve immortality, he could simply keep extending Messil's life so that the two of them could live forever.

But this is actually impossible. Ordinary people's souls also have a lifespan, and the passage of time will leave traces on the soul. This is one of the reasons why those who can truly be called immortals are all strong people.

All good things must come to an end. After Ivan quelled the unrest in the empire, Abigail also decided to depart from this world.

As she was about to leave, Messier took her hand and said to her:

"Abby, why don't you stay? You can have anything you want here, so why do you have to leave?"

“Messi, I am like the wind. I cannot stay in one place for too long. If I stay too long, I will fall silent and become unlike myself.”

This was the lifestyle Abigail chose herself; she wasn't suited to a tranquil life. She simply loved experiencing all sorts of interesting things, and if something wasn't available, she'd create it herself.

She's always lived like this, and she hasn't felt there's anything wrong with it.

Chapter 217 A Sudden Leap of One and a Half Years

Abigail left, but before she did, she gave Ivan the magic of dimensional teleportation. How Ivan uses this magic is up to him.

However, Abigail felt as if she had forgotten something, but she figured it wasn't anything important, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

Following Ye Feng into the teleportation portal, they unexpectedly encountered a problem during the teleportation process.

"Should I say I'm lucky or unlucky that I got to witness such a rare sight?"

Abigail and Ye Feng looked at the dimensional turbulence in the spatial passage and said something to themselves, somewhat speechless.

The turbulence was quite powerful, but it was useless against the shield that Abigail erected.

Compared to Abigail's composure, Ye Feng's face turned pale with fright. Such a thing had never happened before during teleportation, and judging by the situation, if it weren't for Abigail's protection, he would have already been swept away by the turbulent currents and vanished without a trace.

"Can't you be a little more sensible? It's just a turbulent current, nothing serious is going to happen. You should be grateful, this kind of phenomenon rarely occurs naturally."

Looking at Ye Feng's pathetic appearance, Abigail said disdainfully to him.

"You're not afraid, but I am. If I fall in, I won't be left with even a trace."

Too lazy to talk to this weakling, Abigail turned her attention to the dimensional turbulence.

Disrupted by dimensional turbulence, space has become somewhat unstable. Forcibly breaking through under these circumstances could easily lead to deviations from the original coordinates.

What surprised Abigail was that this turbulence not only made space unstable, but also seemed to disrupt the flow of time.

Although she didn't know how this turbulence would affect time, Abigail decided to write down the pattern anyway, just in case it came in handy later.

Soon, at least not long in Abigail and the others' perception, the dimensional turbulence stopped.

"It's a bit of a pity that we haven't fully figured out the operating rules yet; we can only try it slowly later."

Abigail looked at the now calm dimensional space and said with some regret, "But there's nothing we can do about it. This kind of thing is extremely rare, and it's not easy to encounter it again."

"Alright, it's time to go. I wonder how much this turbulence has affected us. What if we go out and find that thousands of years have passed outside?"

Abigail said it somewhat jokingly, but what she said was actually quite possible. After all, who can say for sure about something like time? Abigail was still in the exploratory stage regarding this kind of power.

As it turns out, Abigail can be quite a jinx at times.

When they left the dimensional space, they stepped off a machine that resembled a teleportation portal. At that moment, Ye Feng suddenly realized that a year and a half had passed.

"It's only been a year and a half, so things aren't as bad as we thought."

Abigail didn't really care; it didn't matter how many years passed, but if it took too long, she might miss some interesting things.

"I've been away for a year and a half this time. The minister might have already dismissed me."

Ye Feng said with some distress, "After all, it's common for transmigrators to encounter danger and be killed when they go out on business. If there's no contact for a year, something must have happened."

"What are you afraid of? It's not like nobody knows you."

"That's true."

Just then, the door to the room opened.

"who are you?"

A man entered; he appeared to be a patrolling guard or something similar.

"it's me!"

Ye Feng took off his mask and then quickly put it back on.

As for the guard on the other side, the blank expression on his face still lingered, as if he had just seen a beautiful woman.

Looking at the guard, Ye Feng tensed up. If the guard dared to pounce, he would definitely punch him away.

Fortunately, Ye Feng put the mask back quickly enough, and the guard recovered soon.

No one knows what the guard was thinking, and of course, no one wants to know.

"So it's Executive Officer Ye Feng. We've been missing for almost a year and a half, and we all thought something had happened to you."

"Something unexpected happened. Where is the minister? In his office?"

"Yes, the minister is in his office right now. You should go and inform him as soon as possible."

"Okay, I know. You can continue your patrol."

"Yes."

The guard then turned and left.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high level of official authority. Your position as an executive officer seems to be quite prestigious."

As they walked down the corridor, Abigail said to Ye Feng with a hint of teasing.

"Stop making fun of me. Don't you understand us transmigrators? Status and such are all meaningless; only strength matters."

"But at least your identity as an executive officer is very useful here, isn't it?"

"It really works quite well."

Soon, the two arrived at the minister's office.
