Collapse, women's clothing strategy Qiyana, then

"What do you mean?" Fu Xuanhu asked suspiciously.

Jing Yuan picked up the kettle, stood up, and examined it under the light of the Shence Mansion, as if it held some secret.

"What if I said that his initial idea was simply to sell this kind of thing?"

Fu Xuan's expression changed.

In terms of combat strength, she is far inferior to Jing Yuan, but her scheming ability is by no means inferior.

When Jingyuan mentioned it, she immediately recalled the scenes from the moment they met.

"Little fox!" Fu Xuan muttered under his breath, but there was no anger in his voice.

"Based on the clues he secretly provided before I left, we discovered the secret teachings of the Medicine King within Luofu."

"To be honest, even I wouldn't have attached such importance to it if the Great Lord of Annihilation hadn't shown up."

"But he connected all of this, and even..."

Jing Yuan shook his head, as if he felt that some of his conjectures were too far-fetched.

"Lure Huanlong to Beloborg? Would you, General Shence, dare to do something like that?"

"Of course he wouldn't dare, but he does have the ability to stay out of it, so it's hard to say."

Fu Xuan said incredulously, "Could it be that he really did it all for the Demon-Suppressing Divine Spring?!"

"We both know that plans often cannot be executed step by step, and the variables involved usually determine the direction of the plan's execution."

"For more complex plans, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

“I think even he should know this, so I tend to think that Huanlong’s appearance was an accident.”

Fu Xuan touched the gourd at his waist, feeling as if he had been used as a laborer, and felt slightly resentful.

I'll have to settle the score with that kid when I see him again!

"Without creating hype or publicizing it, simply presenting it as a gift to the Immortal Ship fully demonstrates the value of the Demon-Suppressing Divine Spring... To be honest, I'd really like to bring him into the Grand Diviner's Office."

Jing Yuan immediately revealed a mocking smile.

"Fu Qing, do you think he's deliberately avoiding getting closer to me because he's waiting for me to step down so he can then side with you?"

"..."

Fu Xuan felt it wasn't impossible.

She thought of that white-haired "little girl" again, the world's most adorable school principal, Teri-Li.

Then, he squeezed the gourd so hard he almost crushed it.

Jing Yuan noticed this little gesture and burst into laughter.

Fu Xuan blushed and stormed off.

Fort Clipper.

Cocolia was writing furiously at her desk, while Bronya was also busy checking reports.

After a morning of intense work, the entire Cripperburg finally got a brief respite.

"Mother, will Bai Yan come back?"

Cocolia rubbed her temples and smiled slightly when she heard what she said: "They didn't even take that starship with them, so how could they not come back? According to the information he gave me, they should be returning to Bai Yan's hometown, that legendary mysterious star field."

Bronya was relieved.

"I never expected that Belloberg's crisis would be resolved in this way..."

“Solving the crisis? Perhaps for him, these are all just side effects,” Cocolia remarked.

"Mother?"

Bronya felt something was off about that statement.

Could it be that Bai Yan actually has another purpose?

“Haha, I didn’t express myself well,” Cocolia laughed, leaning back in her chair. “Bai Yan’s desire to save Arilo VI is genuine, but among all the things he wants to do, saving Arilo VI is perhaps the simplest one.”

"When he was planning the whole event, he would make an organic whole arrangement based on all the goals. Although we were arranged in a direction that was in line with the plan, in terms of the result, we completely achieved our goal."

Bronya was completely confused.

Cocolia continued, “He went around in circles and then achieved all his goals; the process wasn’t straightforward, and by the time everyone realized what was happening, he had already accomplished his objective.”

Bronya understood this time.

"No wonder Mother wanted to keep him. Even without those powers, he is a very good person."

"Yes, I quite like him. What about Bronya?"

"Me too, Mother."

Earth.

Destiny Headquarters.

Durandal activated the Undying Star Anchor and relentlessly pursued the Herrscher of Knowledge.

The latter would occasionally turn around and make faces, while constantly destroying the precious facilities of the Destiny Headquarters, causing Durandal's anger to surge uncontrollably.

The pent-up frustration of the past few days, mixed with anger towards the person before her, had turned the blonde Valkyrie's face red.

"You bastard, stop right now!"

"I won't listen! Try and catch me if you dare!"

Golden flames shot skyward, and the Herrscher of Knowledge quickly swerved to avoid Durandal's attack.

"Wow, that was close! You almost hit me, hahaha..."

"Don't be proud!"

The two continued their chase, leaving the entire Destiny headquarters in chaos.

Durandal dared not use her full strength, as that would affect the others at headquarters, so she could only chase after them frantically, feeling helpless and frustrated.

Suddenly, the Lawbringer paused in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, Durandal immediately accelerated with all her might.

Then, a wicked smile crept onto the Herrscher's lips.

"You've fallen into a trap!"

The Lawbringer of Knowledge raised one hand and made a sword gesture.

Durandal's expression hardened instantly, and she realized her opponent's intentions. With a flick of her wrist, the golden bow, a weapon unique to the Undying Star Anchor, appeared.

"God is the ultimate in transformation, the wondrous being of all things; it cannot be described as..."

Yulandel drew her bow like a full moon, her long legs stepping on the back of the bow as she pulled the string with both hands.

Shoot the arrow!

however.

Although the Lawbringer was chanting, he did not gather any power in his hands.

The instant Durandal's ultimate move was completed, she suddenly flashed to the side and clenched her fist with one hand.

"Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you!"

"what?!"

The golden arrow had already been fired, but it failed to hit the Lawbringer of Knowledge.

Durandal shifted her form and quickly responded.

A terrifying force struck, and Durandal couldn't dodge in time, so she could only brace herself with her hands to block the attack from the Herrscher of Knowledge.

That face, which should have been expressionless, was now filled with arrogance and pride, as it unleashed a flurry of punches upon approaching Durandal.

The endless fist-shaped wing of Qi Yi Er ~ Ba Si Si Ba Ying Sudden Face, its power was extremely solid, and only a slight breeze appeared around it, with almost no energy dissipation.

Durandal lowered her head, her arms protecting her chest from the storm of punches. Knowing that this couldn't go on, she pushed hard through the rain of punches, sending her flying backward.

"cut!"

The Lawbringer frowned, then unleashed a powerful punch into the void.

A surge of power traveled through the air, causing Durandal to lose her balance and fall, about to crash into a laboratory and smash it to pieces.

"hateful!"

Durandal felt weightlessness and knew she had been tricked by her opponent again. At this moment, she could no longer avoid destroying the facility.

She vaguely sensed that there seemed to be someone else in the laboratory!

No, I must—

Just as she inevitably crashed into the others at headquarters, a sudden change occurred.

A hand suddenly appeared, its force not sharp, but supporting Durandal's waist, slowly neutralizing her momentum.

Her fall slowed down, and by the time she reached the ground, she was too slow to cause any more damage.

With my feet firmly planted, I landed gently on the ground.

"Thank you--"

Durandal turned her head and saw a familiar smiling face.

Bai Yan wore the Xianzhou outfit given to him by Jing Liu, held a longsword produced by Belloberg, and wore his usual single ponytail.

He held Durandal close, the two so close they could hear each other breathing—

Durandal held her breath, her eyes filled with astonishment.

A moment later, she looked away, and her breathing began to wash over her.

Her breathing was somewhat disordered, but it didn't originate from the battle just now.

"Is it you, Bai Yan?" She seemed afraid to look at the other person, and asked softly.

"No."

Then a fist was placed on his face.

I didn't use any force, I just kept it close.

Durandal seemed slightly angry, her face flushed, and it was unclear what emotions she was experiencing.

Bai Yan gently put the other person down and looked at the Lawgiver of Knowledge.

The latter then approached the two of them, frowning.

"You bastard, are you that woman's brother? You certainly have a womanizer's face."

The Law Master, upon seeing him, immediately spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Bai Yan remained silent, and unleashed a sword strike at the Lawgiver of Knowledge from afar.

A single sword strikes with breathtaking speed – Guardian.

The Herrscher of Consciousness vanished instantly, exiled into the Phase Barrier.

"Bianca, prepare your strongest attack and aim it at where she was just standing."

Where did you take her?

Despite asking this question, Durandal had already drawn her golden longbow once more.

"A small dark room, but it won't last long."

As soon as he finished speaking, cracks appeared in the space.

bump!

The one who understands the laws smashed through the invisible barrier and charged out, his face full of rage.

"You rascal, you just start yelling at me like that—!"

The golden arrow shot out, aiming straight for the Lawbringer's chest. The latter tried desperately to retreat but it was too late. He was hit by the golden arrow and flew backward.

Upon seeing this, Durandal's eyes lit up, and she quickly chased after them.

Once she reached a distance, she finally caught up with the Herrscher of Knowledge, and then proceeded to beat him senseless with her fists and feet.
