Late at night, Qingque and Fu Xuan drifted into deep slumber.
Wait, is she seriously ill?
Su Jinyan jolted awake from his dream, gasping for breath.
It had been a deeply restless night's sleep—this was already the third time he'd awakened.
"Whimper... traitorous disciple..." Fu Xuan murmured softly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed and pink lips pursed, sounding as sweetly endearing as a clingy kitten.
Leaning down, Su Jinyan gently tasted Fu Xuan's lips, their sweetness spreading between them like warm honey.
As if responding to this tender touch, Fu Xuan's frown eased, her porcelain-like cheeks flushing with a soft blush.
Even in slumber, Shizun remained so affectionate, yielding to him without any guard.
With a softened expression, Su Jinyan lay back down, intertwining his fingers with Fu Xuan's slender white hand.
The corners of Fu Xuan's lips curved into a faint smile, her cheek nuzzling closer against his skin.
My Shizun is truly adorable.
Feeling much lighter-hearted, Su Jinyan embraced Fu Xuan's petite frame, showering gentle kisses on her lips until she drifted peacefully back to sleep.
Beside Fu Xuan, Qingque mumbled in her sleep as well.
Her tender, snow-white feet stretched lazily, nearly kicking Fu Xuan's face—an utterly ungraceful sleeping posture.
Amused, Su Jinyan was about to reposition Qingque's delicate feet when suddenly, she kicked out sharply.
Plop!
In that instant, her soft, snowy toes landed squarely on Fu Xuan's cheek.
Su Jinyan and Fu Xuan exchanged glances, speechless.
Su Jinyan strongly suspected that Qingque was feigning sleep, but he had no proof. As he watched Fu Xuan's eyelashes tremble slightly, indicating she might awaken soon, Su Jinyan hastily moved Qingque's delicate feet aside. He then gently cradled Fu Xuan's supple body, rocking her softly while showering kisses on her cheeks.
Only then did Fu Xuan settle back down.
Qingque, completely disregarding proper sleeping etiquette, began rolling about restlessly on the bed. Su Jinyan observed her tossing and turning until she nearly reached the edge.
Does little Que'er usually sleep like this at home too? Concerned, Su Jinyan hurriedly pushed his Shizun aside to catch Qingque before she could fall off.
Just as he made to act, Qingque abruptly accelerated her rolling motion.
Roll, roll, roll—
Fu Xuan found herself unexpectedly flattened by the petite Qingque, who rolled right over her.
Stunned, both Su Jinyan and Fu Xuan were momentarily rendered speechless.
Originally nestled between them, with Su Jinyan holding her close, Fu Xuan now found her position usurped effortlessly by Qingque. Wrapping his arms around Qingque's tender feet, Su Jinyan felt torn between laughter and tears.
In her slumber, Fu Xuan smacked her lips a few times, her brows gradually furrowing. She sensed a loss of something precious, teetering on the brink of waking up.
"Mm... A-Yan, lick it..." Qingque mumbled, stretching her snow-white, delicate feet towards Fu Xuan's face.
Fu Xuan promptly grasped Qingque's tender foot and contentedly nuzzled it against her cheek before drifting back into pleasant dreams.
Qingque's smooth maneuver left Su Jinyan utterly speechless.
Ever since Su Jinyan had teamed up with Qingque to tease Fu Xuan, little Que'er had already faced numerous tearful scoldings from their target. However, after Su Jinyan assured her protection, the small sparrow seemed to let loose completely.
Regardless of Fu Xuan's threats to deduct her wages or performance bonuses, Qingque remained unfazed, relentlessly bullying her further.
How could she dream of such a reversal? The underdog worker finally getting her revenge, making her oppressive superior plead for mercy—it was all thanks to Su Jinyan's guidance, experiencing the thrill of being carried by a master player.
But his promise had its limits; tormenting Shizun now wouldn't go unpunished. If Shizun were to wake up and witness this scene...
He couldn't even fathom the severity of the beating little Que'er would receive.
"Are you pretending to sleep or genuinely asleep?"
Su Jinyan cradled Qingque's petite body, gently turning her over and poking her cheek.
"Hehe, self-drawn straight flush—bingo!"
Little Que'er mumbled in her sleep, showing no signs of waking up.
Su Jinyan gently blew on Qingque's delicate, snow-white earlobe. "Qingque, little Que'er."
Qingque smiled sweetly, still half-asleep. "A-Yan, stop teasing; I'm playing cards here."
Su Jinyan adopted Fu Xuan's voice, "Hmph, Qingque, slacking off again!"
Qingque's face fell instantly. "I'm sorry, Lady Fu Xuan, truly sorry!"
Su Jinyan reverted to his own tone. "Qingque, you're my absolute favorite."
Qingque's lips curved upwards with delight. "Eh hehe, don't say such embarrassing things~"
Su Jinyan switched back to Fu Xuan's voice once more. "Qingque, why isn't that overdue report completed yet?!"
Panic flashed across Qingque's charming features. "Apologies, I'll start right away."
"Qingque, you're truly adorable," Su Jinyan continued in his natural voice.
"Heehee, keep complimenting me, please~" Qingque urged.
"Qingque, this venerable one caught you slacking off again! Don't expect your salary for this month!" Su Jinyan mimicked Fu Xuan sternly.
"Wah, no! Lady Fu Xuan, please don't deduct my pay," Qingque pleaded, teary-eyed.
Engrossed in their playful banter, neither Su Jinyan nor Qingque noticed the icy gaze piercing towards them from nearby.
Fu Xuan reached out with slender, pale fingers and stealthily grabbed Su Jinyan's ear. "Disobedient disciple!"
"Not asleep at this late hour? What madness is this?"
Su Jinyan grinned sheepishly. "Shizun, you're awake?"
Fu Xuan retorted irritably, "With all this commotion, anyone would be awake by now. Is Qingque really that entertaining?"
Su Jinyan replied solemnly, "No matter how amusing Qingque may be, Shizun is always more captivating."
"In my heart, Shizun will forever be the most intriguing."
Dissatisfied, Fu Xuan kicked him lightly. "Do you think such flattery is appropriate here? A-Yan, this venerable one has always held high expectations for you, but tonight you've greatly disappointed me."
Feigning ignorance, Su Jinyan asked, "What's wrong?"
Fu Xuan's cheeks flushed slightly as she gritted her teeth. "I clearly told you to stop, stop... And what did you do? You completely disregarded this venerable one's wishes, focusing only on yourself."
Su Jinyan gently nibbled on Fu Xuan's earlobe. "Shizun is just too adorable; I couldn't resist," he murmured.
Breathing softly, Fu Xuan's beautiful eyes remained cold. "This venerable one has never encountered such blatant disrespect and disregard for tradition!"
Unable to contain himself, Su Jinyan once again pushed Fu Xuan down. "No, no, Shizun, you're mistaken," he said. "It should be 'riding the master, defying tradition' instead."
Qingque's breath quickened, her face flushing with embarrassment.
One can never rouse someone pretending to sleep, and Qingque's behavior perfectly exemplified this adage. She mentally praised herself for feigning slumber so convincingly—she simply couldn't endure any more of Su Jinyan's antics.
After A-Yan exhausts himself with Lady Fu Xuan, he'll probably leave me alone, right? Qingque thought.
However, she overestimated his restraint.
Once Fu Xuan drifted off to sleep, still unsatisfied, Su Jinyan extended his wicked claws towards little Que'er, who was pretending to slumber, and began playing "Sleeping O" with her.
After Fu Xuan and Qingque had fallen asleep,
Su Jinyan neatly dressed himself, turned on his phone, and checked his unread messages.
The first text was from Little Gui:
[Sushang: Jinyan-gege, Little Gui finally discovered the cause of the steel wire break.]
[The worker responsible for inspecting the wires admitted to slacking off.]
[Ugh, how could he be so careless with such an important task?]
[Now, Big Sis Jin has fired him.]
Silently, Su Jinyan approached Sparkle's bed and gently caressed her cheek.
The second message was from Silver Wolf:
[Punklorde's Silver Wolf: Awake yet? Meet at our usual spot; I have something important to tell you.]
At that moment, another text arrived:
[Sparkle: Some believe love begins at first sight.]
[Others think love is forged through shared personalities.]
[Some believe love is just a fleeting game.]
[Let me share a little secret with you, dearie—I fell head over heels for you at first sight!]
Su Jinyan remained silent.
That little deceiver, Sparkle, daring to toy with my emotions—even after death, she still teases me.
[Sparkle: Hehe, I'm kidding you. Did your heart flutter just now?]
[Alright, alright—so if Lady Sparkle has managed to stir even a hint of interest within you, meet me on the Exalting Sanctum's skydeck within five minutes.]
[Lady Sparkle here has a small surprise waiting for you!]
Gently cradling Sparkle's soft and delicate body, Su Jinyan silently pushed open the door and left.
Why dwell in sorrow? The Fool exists to bring joy and laughter to the world. He didn't want his memories filled with regrets.
Once Sparkle wakes up, he'd make sure this mischievous liar pays for her whimsical antics.
At the skydeck of Exalting Sanctum, Su Jinyan had barely opened the door when a sudden boom echoed through the silent night.
A dazzling display of fireworks illuminated the entire sky—a perfect red heart pierced by an arrow.
[Sparkle: Did you see my custom fireworks? Let me test your wits with a riddle.]
[Red beans can be made into red bean paste, and potatoes can be turned into potato mash.]
[Now tell me, what can I make from you? - The answer is "mud" for "I love you."]
Su Jinyan gently pinched Sparkle's delicate cheeks.
"Little liar, who taught you these cheesy pickup lines?"
With her beautiful eyes peacefully closed, Sparkle leaned against his shoulder without responding.
The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder behind them.
Chewing bubble gum, Silver Wolf approached and sat down next to Su Jinyan.
"I told you we'd meet at our usual spot. Why did you come here instead?"
Stretching lazily, Su Jinyan replied grumpily, "Thanks to a certain little liar who tricked me into coming."
"She lured us out this late just to watch some fireworks?"
Silver Wolf cupped Su Jinyan's face, gazing intently into his eyes. "Hey, this is the first time I've seen such an expression on you. Not even Fu Xuan or the others could evoke this reaction; it almost makes me jealous."
Confused, Su Jinyan asked, "What kind of expression did I have?"
Silver Wolf provided the answer, "Forcing a smile."
"Indeed, it's also my first time seeing you so flustered by someone else's mischief."
"Just her? As if she has the ability to trick me," Su Jinyan shook his head.
Unhappy, Silver Wolf playfully pinched and rubbed Sparkle's delicate cheeks.
"Why does she get away with this? She's truly annoying."
"We're still in that stage between friends and lovers."
"How dare a newcomer surpass us?"
Su Jinyan wholeheartedly agreed, "It's always been me playing with others' emotions."
"No one has ever toyed with mine. Indeed, she needs a proper lesson."
"As soon as she wakes up, I won't allow her such arrogance anymore."
Silver Wolf snorted, "Let's go. Bring your little deceiver along; we'll head to our usual spot."
Su Jinyan asked aloud, "Darling, when are we heading to Jepella planet?"
Raising an eyebrow, Silver Wolf looked slightly puzzled, "A-Yan, aren't you planning to join us on the same ship? Remember, we're notorious Stellaron Hunters, wanted by the Interastral Peace Corporation."
"You're a special envoy of the Ten-Lords Commission; it's not appropriate for you to travel with us."
Su Jinyan shrugged. "Don't we have you, our ace hacker, with us?"
"Who would know? No one will," Silver Wolf replied. "However, there are a few individuals who've collaborated with the Interastral Peace Corporation, and even I find them quite troublesome."
"Like Herta?" Su Jinyan asked.
Silver Wolf flashed a charming grin. "Herta doesn't count; she's already been bested by us."
"In a few days, I'll start streaming again and humiliate her by drawing graffiti on Herta's face," Su Jinyan mused.
"So according to what you're saying," he continued, "I'd need to purchase my own spaceship?"
The star ferries crafted by Xianzhou's Immortal Boat Manufacturing Division were incapable of prolonged interstellar travel.
Constructing a space battleship was extremely expensive, often costing upwards of hundreds of millions of Credit points, not including defense and firepower systems.
Given his current status, Su Jinyan could undoubtedly apply to the Alliance for reimbursement, allowing the Xianzhou Alliance to cover the expenses of purchasing a battleship.
However, based on the immortal cultivators' bureaucratic style, the approval process alone would likely take at least half a year, if not longer.
"It all depends on your thoughts," Silver Wolf said. "If you're hesitant about spending Credits, you could always steal one."
"Steal from whom?" Su Jinyan asked.
With a mischievous tone, Silver Wolf suggested, "What about Akivili's train? How does that sound?"
Su Jinyan shook his head. "No thanks, I'm not some villain."
"However, you did bring up one valid point," he continued. "I can leverage Star Fragments' and March's connections to get the train conductor to give me a ride."
Silver Wolf quipped, "You're overthinking it. Trailblaze is neutral; they typically don't involve themselves in conflicts between various factions."
"How about this? Follow me, and I'll ask Kafka if she has any good ideas. While we're at it, let's also discuss our next course of action."
At the Exalting Sanctum, within the Stellaron Hunter's residence,
"Hmm, you seem to be in quite a poor state..." Kafka's lips gently curved upwards, her beautiful eyes hinting at a smile.
Su Jinyan frowned, "Me?"
The Silver Wolf quipped, "Who else could it possibly be?"
"Could Kafka be referring to Sparkle?" Su Jinyan asked.
"That's unlikely," replied the Silver Wolf. "Sparkle's condition isn't poor; rather, it appears very stable."
Kafka softly spoke, "I'm talking about you, A-Yan."
"Yes, your current state is not good at all."
"If your nerves remain too tense, encountering sudden events might trigger adverse reactions."
Su Jinyan rubbed his chin, unable to resist sinking into deep thought.
Impossible, right? Although I engaged in intense combat with Shizun and the little sparrow all night, I clearly still have strength left for more battles. How can my state be considered poor?
Kafka seemed to sense his thoughts and gently shook her head:
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Listen carefully, A-Yan, do not evade your inner feelings."
As soon as the dark purple spiderweb touched Su Jinyan, it instantly disintegrated into ash.
Su Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "My spiritual energy is strong; your Word of Power won't affect me."
Kafka lightly tilted his chin up, "That won't do, oh no."
"A-Yan, open your mind to accept my Word of Power. Allow me to help release the sorrow within you."
Su Jinyan firmly declined, "No need for that."
"As you can see, I'm perfectly fine - where's any sign of sorrow?"
Kafka chuckled softly, "Are you worried that I might harm you?"
"Don't fret; the Silver Wolf is here too. If I intended to cause you harm, she would intervene immediately."
"Besides, our dear Blade has 'defected,' haven't they?"
Blade remained silent.
Su Jinyan frowned, "Why phrase it so negatively when referring to my trusted general?"
"Loyalty to me does not equate to betraying Elio," he countered.
Blade hesitated, unable to respond.
Su Jinyan continued confidently, "Blade hasn't defected at all. He remains loyal to both me and Elio."
"You see, just as Elio could give him what he desired, so can I fulfill his dreams."
"Smart people know well not to put all their eggs in one basket."
In a deep voice, Blade reassured, "Kid, don't worry. As long as I'm here, Kafka won't harm you."
Kafka nodded gently, "Yes, you're right."
"Now, A-Yan, open your mind and do not resist." The Silver Wolf explained, "A-Yan, this is part of the script's progression."
"If we don't follow the script, we won't be able to proceed to Jepella planet."
After a moment's hesitation, Su Jinyan relaxed his mind.
Kafka gently began speaking, "Listen to me: from now on, you will perceive me as your mother."
"You won't hear others' conversations with me; you'll only hear my voice and feel my touch."
The Silver Wolf looked puzzled.
Kafka tenderly stroked his cheek, her breath warm against him.
"Let all your grievances and sorrows pour out freely to Mama, A-Yan."
"Kafka... Mama..."
Su Jinyan embraced Kafka's slender waist softly, his movements gentle. He then buried his face in her embrace.
With affectionate eyes, Kafka tightened her hold around Su Jinyan.
"My blouse is soaked by his tears."
"He truly needs an emotional release."
"Perhaps only maternal love can make him let down all his defenses."
Silver Wolf asked, "What if we don't allow him this release? What would happen?"
Kafka responded calmly, "Who knows? It's not written in the script."
"Only Elio might know how it will end."
"But imagine for a moment, how would someone like him react under stress?"
The Silver Wolf tried to envision it and hesitantly replied, "It feels like it could be very frightening."
A hint of crimson flashed in Blade's eyes. "I can understand him."
Kafka's gaze softened as he whispered to Su Jinyan, "Listen to me: don't be afraid.
"As long as I'm alive, you will be safe.
"A-Yan, my child, Sparkle's passing was not your fault.
"In Jepella, your sorrow will find release, and all the negative emotions troubling you will dissipate.
"You will have peaceful dreams during the upcoming long night.
"Upon waking, you'll feel rejuvenated, forgetting everything I've done to you."
An irresistible wave of drowsiness overwhelmed him, making him increasingly groggy as his cheeks sank fully into the blissful softness.
Seizing the opportunity, Silver Wolf chimed in, "You will exceptionally adore Silver Wolf, revering her like a deity. From now on, she will be your sole redemption."
Kafka chuckled softly, "Silver Wolf, do you believe in word magic?"
Silver Wolf displayed an adorable smile, "It doesn't matter if it's real or not.
"All we need is for his subconscious mind to remember these words."
Blade shot a cold glance at Silver Wolf.
"...Why are you looking at me with that expression?" Silver Wolf asked defensively.
Unable to suppress a laugh, Kafka said, "Probably because Bladie thinks you're being foolish."
Indignant, Silver Wolf retorted, "Who's being foolish? I'm the genius hacker he admires."
Hmm, this is the consequence of not paying attention properly.
Early morning.
Su Jinyan woke up from an unfamiliar yet soft bed.
To be precise, Silver Wolf had shaken him awake.
With dark circles under her eyes, she looked at him impatiently. "A-Yan, tell me who I am?"
Confused, Su Jinyan replied, "Silver Wolf, obviously. Who else could you be?"
Silver Wolf coughed twice. "That's not what I meant," she clarified. "I'm asking if you don't have any special feelings towards me? Like - 'Oh, how much I admire Silver Wolf! She's such an incredible gamer and a formidable hacker; she is my one true idol...' kind of thing?"
Unable to suppress his laughter, Su Jinyan chuckled, "Yes, yes, indeed, I adore Silver Wolf more than anyone."
Annoyed, Silver Wolf clicked her tongue and used Ether Editing powers to eliminate her dark circles and fatigue. Despite subtly dropping hints all night, it seemed his subconscious hadn't registered any of it.
Stretching lazily, Su Jinyan asked, "How did I fall asleep so suddenly last night? Weren't we supposed to discuss the battle plan?"
"Let's go to the living room," Silver Wolf said. "Kafka has been waiting for us."
Su Jinyan followed Silver Wolf to the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"Good morning, little con artist." Su Jinyan gently pinched Sparkle's cheeks.
Silver Wolf puffed out her snow-white face, indignant. "Hey, you haven't even greeted me with 'good morning' yet!"
Su Jinyan laughed softly. "Jealous already?"
Silver Wolf placed her hands on her hips and scoffed, "Oh please, as if I'd be jealous of her? If anyone should feel jealous, it's her being envious of me."
Kafka smiled faintly, then retrieved files on the Jepella Brotherhood and handed them to Su Jinyan.
"Good morning. Please take a look at this information about the Jepella Brotherhood first."
Su Jinyan accepted the files with a slight nod.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt that Kafka's demeanor had taken on a distinctly maternal aura.
Prior to this moment, Su Jinyan had indeed harbored some attraction towards Kafka.
Now, his subconscious mind began merging the images of "Kafka" and "mom" together.
How could you have feelings for Kafka?
An indescribable sense of moral conflict swept over him.
To conceal his discomfort, Su Jinyan lowered his head and hastily focused on the files.
The power controlling Yepele Planet was the "Jepella Brotherhood," which itself was a branch of the Annihilation Gang.
Kafka's task involved single-handedly dealing with the four leaders of the Jepella Brotherhood, whose photographs were included in the file.
These four leaders were known as Tiger Leader, Sheep Leader, Deer Leader, and Ox Leader.
Sam and Blade were responsible for clearing out the miscellaneous troops on Yepele Planet.
Su Jinyan spoke up, "Darling, I need your Ether Editing ability."
"Is there any way to project the real-time situation of the entire planet onto the live stream?"
"It would be best if the residents of Jepella Planet could also see it."
He had a mission—to transform the Jepella Brotherhood with love.
At least over ten thousand Jepella residents needed to experience the true essence of love.
Upon completion, he would receive rewards including the Cosmic Curio "A-Ruan Bag" and the Red-Green Traffic Light Shield, which guarantees immunity to one attack, known as "[Preservation: Fate Path Resonance Incantation]."
Silver Wolf wrinkled her small nose slightly. "It's possible, but it might be somewhat troublesome."
"The best approach would be to narrow the projection range, centering it around you."
"As for allowing the Jepella Planet residents to view it, we can simply hack into their phones and force the live stream playback."
Su Jinyan smiled warmly. "Then let's agree on this happily."
"After we deal with the Jepella Brotherhood."
"And it's about time to schedule the promotion for 'Three Kingdoms Killer' as well."
Dissatisfied, Silver Wolf tapped the table. "All you ever do is dangle promises before me."
"I've waited, waited, and waited until now, yet you still haven't created the game."
Su Jinyan secretly chuckled; he intentionally kept Silver Wolf intrigued.
This tactic allowed him an excuse to get closer to her, fostering their relationship further.
Even if Silver Wolf considered giving up midway, she wouldn't, as she had already invested too much sunk cost emotionally.
Su Jinyan sidestepped the topic. "So, how do I get to Yepele Planet?"
"You're not suggesting I should hijack a merchant ship, are you?"
Kafka chuckled softly. "Let me think, give me another half minute."
"An Interastral Peace Corporation specialist will contact you shortly."
"She'll feel fear and apprehension towards you, which you can exploit to seize her opportunity-wise."
Su Jinyan retorted, "I don't even know who she is yet, but seize her I shall?"
Buzzing—
Topaz's charming face couldn't hide her exhaustion as she called Su Jinyan.
The outcome of her discussions with the company yesterday was that she successfully became Su Jinyan's designated liaison officer. From now on, all matters related to Su Jinyan and the company would be handled by Topaz directly.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Su Jinyan, do you remember me? It's Topaz, your fan."
"Miss Topaz? The one with the ample bosom and curvaceous hips?"
Topaz hesitated, feeling somewhat speechless.
After all, I am a high-ranking official within the Interastral Peace Company, holding a P45 level position in the Strategic Investment Department.
Why did the company assign me as his liaison?
In a serious tone, Su Jinyan said, "Generally speaking, I wouldn't let my captured prey slip from my grasp."
Topaz managed a strained smile. "U-um, Mr. Su Jinyan, that joke isn't funny..."
What should I do? He's clearly preparing to take action against me!
Su Jinyan continued, "But you're an exception, Miss Topaz. I've always been quite lenient towards fans."
"Simply state your purpose for being here."
Topaz explained, "To demonstrate our high regard for you."
"I will be escorting you on your upcoming trip to Yepele Planet."
"May I inquire if the Xianzhou Alliance plans to send any additional elite personnel?"
Su Jinyan replied, "I am the sole representative of the Xianzhou Alliance."
"However, I will bring two more individuals with me; they will accompany us to Yepele Planet."
Topaz fastened the undone buttons at her chest. "Then please prepare yourself for departure."
"We'll embark on the jump immediately and meet at Xianzhou Luofu's Starcross Sea."
After a brief moment of silence, Su Jinyan asked cautiously, "If I may ask boldly, Miss Topaz, how strong is your mental fortitude?"
Topaz's heart suddenly sank. Why was he posing this question?
Su Jinyan spoke calmly, "If your mental fortitude is too fragile,"
"I hope the company can assign another liaison instead.
"This is because during our journey, it's highly likely we'll encounter Aeons, possibly more than one."
Topaz's heart began to race uncontrollably.
An unprecedented opportunity lay before her, and she knew she must seize it well. If successful, her position within the company could potentially rise even further.
"My mental fortitude is exceptionally strong."
"Please allow me to stay by your side at all times," she pleaded earnestly.
Su Jinyan responded with a meaningful tone, "Miss Topaz."
"I hope you can keep this strictly confidential, without leaking any information prematurely."
"After our Jepella journey concludes, I will reward you accordingly."
Without waiting for Topaz's reply, he hung up the phone.
Su Jinyan clapped his hands lightly. "Ladies and gentlemen, the grand performance is about to begin."
"Does the script mention anything about the appearance of an Aeon?"
Kafka hesitated briefly. "No..."
Smiling slightly, Su Jinyan said, "That's alright, now it does."
"Let me stage another spectacle, no less grand than before."
The corners of the Silver Wolf's lips curled upwards. "Alright, alright, I'm in favor. Let Eliodo revise the script a few more times then."
After all, since the Silver Wolf wasn't directly involved in the script, he only needed to remain close to Su Jinyan.
A subtle hint of amusement flickered in Kafka's beautiful eyes as she addressed him softly, "A-Yan."
"How can you be so certain that Elation will personally attend?"
Su Jinyan's gaze remained composed. "It's not just about old Aha."
"More precisely, it goes beyond old Aha alone."
"Aeon draws power from fate paths but is also bound by them."
"If I display an extreme and pure desire for destruction, might it attract Its attention?"
