"You?!"

Previously, during Xiao’s battle with the Divine Punishment Sect, he had also released a chilling killing intent. But now, Wilt could clearly feel that the killing intent was different from before. The aura surrounding Xiao was more powerful, terrifying, and sent shivers down one’s spine.

The intensity of the killing intent was incomparable.

At this moment,

When mentioning the "Chosen One," the killing intent around Xiao was like the raging hellfire roaring out from the abyss, powerful enough to burn everything to ashes. Obviously, this was genuine killing intent. Even Wilt, the leader of the Divine Punishment Sect and an eighth-rank Cultivator, couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

His gaze toward Xiao became increasingly wary.

Originally, when he heard that the other party wanted to eliminate the Chosen Ones, Wilt thought they were talking nonsense. After all, in the eyes of most people, the Chosen Ones was essential to save the world. Aside from their Divine Punishment Sect, hardly anyone would think of eliminating them.

However,

After feeling this killing intent, and the hatred and determination contained within Wilt was sure,

The other party wasn’t lying.

Although he didn’t know why the head of the Black Rose family would detest the Chosen Ones so much, as long as they hated them, cooperation was possible. After all, an enemy’s enemy could be a temporary ally.

As for how to deal with it later?

He would think about it later. As Xiao had said,

- I had no other choice -

With that thought, Wilt smiled relievedly and looked at Xiao with an amused gaze,

"You? You’re a human, right?"

"Yes."

Xiao retracted his killing intent and replied politely. At the same time, he slowly raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

With a crisp snap, the two summoned creatures suppressing Wilt disappeared without a trace, and the magic array restraining the other members of the Divine Punishment Sect in the distance suddenly collapsed. Seeing the change in Wilt’s eyes, Xiao knew that the other party had chosen to cooperate.

With that, there was no need to restrain their "teammate" any longer.

After being released from the suppression, Wilt slowly stood up from the ground and asked curiously,

"Since you’re a human, why do you want to kill the Chosen Ones?"

"There’s no need for you to worry about that. All you need to know is that our goals are the same, and we can cooperate."

"Hmm, that’s true."

Wilt nodded indifferently,

"So, what do you plan to do?"

"As for me, I plan to eliminate the Son of Destiny first."

"The Son of Destiny?"

Hearing this, Wilt couldn’t help but show a trace of confusion: "Hasn’t that guy recently defeated the Demon Lord-level existence, Inferno, and become the Emperor of the Snowy Night Empire? He’s not easy to kill. Why not go for the girl of Destiny first?"

"Heh..."

Defeated?

Xiao gave an indifferent smile, but he had no intention of revealing anything.

"Because he ’defeated’ Inferno, he must be targeted first, and we cannot allow him to grow any further. Besides, compared to the Girl of Destiny, Xue Tianao is undoubtedly easier to deal with. Don’t forget, the Girl of Destiny has divine protection, and now she has the Apostle of Heaven guarding her all the time, as well as a Bloody Butterfly who knows where she is hiding."

"This..."

Recalling the scene where he was severely injured by the divine protection and the frustration of being easily suppressed by that black-haired girl, Wilt couldn’t help but nod reluctantly,

"I understand. What do you need us to do?"

"Simple. I need you to help block the reinforcements from the Red Lotus Leaf Empire and the Church of Asumos to the south when the time comes."

"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"

"The reinforcements supporting the Snowy Night Empire."

"Support? Why do they suddenly need support?"

Hearing Xiao’s words, Wilt was immediately confused, and his dark green eyes were full of puzzlement.

In response to Wilt’s question,

Xiao meaningfully looked toward the distant north and slowly said like a Riddler, "When they can’t hold on any longer, they will naturally seek help."

Wilt:" Huh???"

--

Meanwhile,

Not far from the northern border, in a small town called Huiteluo Town,

After the prisoner transport plan fell through, Mengxi and Bai Yanluo returned to this temporary base.

In a VIP room of a certain hotel,

Mengxi undressed and revealed a dazzlingly beautiful, crystal-clear, and tender body that could take anyone’s breath away. She stood completely naked in the bathroom, filling the room with an atmosphere of spring.

As the hot water cascaded down, the blood and dirt on Mengxi’s delicate body were gradually washed away. Although the dirt stains could be washed off, Mengxi’s inner sense of loss was deeply ingrained...

After cleaning up, Mengxi changed into a plain white nightgown and threw herself onto the bed.

The pain from the backlash of her divine power hadn’t fully healed yet. Now, coupled with the exhaustion from the long journey, Mengxi’s body was extremely fatigued.

Under normal circumstances,

She should have fallen asleep immediately.

However,

After tossing and turning in bed for a long time, Mengxi still showed no signs of falling asleep...

At this moment, the silver-haired girl was filled with an indescribable restlessness. Beads of sweat slowly dripped down her forehead, and as time passed, the agitation within her grew more intense, causing the girl to gasp for breath.

Biting her pink lips tightly, Mengxi’s light purple eyes were full of entangled expressions,

"Sister Yumo..."

Mengxi couldn’t help but think of that black-haired girl who had always taken care of her attentively.

How she wanted to burrow into Her sister’s arms,

How she wanted to hug Yumo,

’where did you run off to, sister...’

...

Before,

Mengxi had always slept alone,

But her sleep quality wasn’t good, because she always had to guard against assassins or those who had ill intentions toward her during the night. After all, due to her constitution, even within the church, there would be people who couldn’t control their twisted thoughts toward her. Therefore, when Mengxi slept, she had to be on guard against these people most of the time.

However, she had grown accustomed to it.

Yet,

Ever since she went to the Winter Forest, Mengxi had a black-haired girl by her side. The girl’s warm embrace, tender body, and pleasant scent made Mengxi feel extremely comfortable and safe. Sleeping next to her felt very secure. Even after the girl disguised herself as a pink-haired girl, it was still the same.

Moreover,

Every day when she slept with her Sister Yumo, Mengxi would hug her tightly, unknowingly absorbing the Shadow Power overflowing from her body. This Shadow Power not only steadily increased Mengxi’s strength but also seemed to bring some strange side effects...

That was,

If she didn’t periodically replenish some Shadow Power from her Sister Yumo, she would feel uncomfortable all over...

When she was injured before,

Although they slept separately at night, Mengxi would still use Yumo as a pillow to rest in the afternoon. But now? Ever since Yumo was captured, she hadn’t replenished that power in a long time...

"It’s so uncomfortable..."

Hugging the pillow tightly in her arms, Mengxi’s eyes gradually became somewhat hazy,

’Sister Yumo?’

Could it be that you deliberately pretended to be Xiaomo, secretly letting me absorb power?

To control me?

Such an idea popped up in Mengxi’s little head. However, she quickly shook her head and threw this absurd idea out of her mind.

Sister Yumo’s personality wouldn’t allow her to do such a despicable thing.

The current situation was entirely her own doing...

It could be considered a side effect of using Sister Yumo’s power to enhance her strength.

It’s a bit,

Addictive...

But well~

If the object of addiction is Sister Yumo,

’Well~ it’s not bad at all~’

Recalling Yumo’s gentle touch, her meticulous care, and the genuine concern that wasn’t influenced by the power of the Holy Spirit, Mengxi’s face revealed a sweet smile despite her physical discomfort.

But for now,

She had to endure...

It was easy to think, but when Mengxi tried to suppress the agitation within her, an unknown pain still continuously stimulated her brain, causing her to curl up her delicate body and tightly hug the bear pillow in her arms as a substitute.

Really,

She had no idea where Yumo had gone...

’Next time we meet, I must make up for it, with Bonus~’
