"Those were truly... happy times..." Shia murmured to herself.

She curled up on the chair, hugging her slender legs with both hands, resting her chin blankly on her knees, her two light blue eyes gazing blankly at the gradually brightening moonlight.

Just like she has been in her own palace in Hania these past few years.

Soon after, Shia's agitation subsided. She sighed again, got up, and prepared to return to her current residence, where she was Queen Shia, not Shia's little maid.

A slight disturbance in the world touched Shia's nerves, making her bewildered eyes brighten, and then grow brighter and brighter.

A massive vortex of primordial energy gradually took shape, silently and frantically rotating around the twin towers in the Hengwang Mansion.

Shia knew that Qin Mo, who liked to slack off, was practicing at the Twin Towers today.

A cloud of mist enveloped Shia's tall figure, and she quietly disappeared into the night, drifting gracefully toward the Twin Towers.

Qin Mo does indeed like to slack off, but he has been very diligent these past few days because he feels immense pressure.

If there are any people in this world who can put immense pressure on Qin Mo, there are only a few now: Prince Arthas, who has become a monster; Isabel, the vampire princess; and perhaps Qin Jian, the Prince of Chang Le of the Great Xia Dynasty, is also one of them.

As for the other ordinary Heavenly Realm and Saint-level beings, Qin Mo believed that even if he couldn't defeat them, he could escape. Those who couldn't escape, such as Allen and Heatherine, were very considerate of him and wouldn't put any pressure on him.

Now, another person has come to put pressure on him: his former maid, Shia.

The little maid has become an empress. She has become powerful, and of course, her heart has changed. She dares to put on airs with me now.

This kind of kid should be dragged over and attacked immediately. If you can't beat him... then practice, and attack him when you're ready.

So, Qin Mo, who hadn't cultivated much since returning from Xizhou, began to cultivate diligently.

Qin Mo frantically absorbed the raging spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but still felt unsatisfied. She then activated the star vortex in her chest, stirring up the starlight in the sky. A beautiful star vortex appeared above the Twin Towers, sweeping down wisps of starlight from the starry sky and merging them into the star vortex within Qin Mo's body.

As the star spiraled, the entire area around the Twin Towers appeared in Qin Mo's consciousness in minute detail. He sensed fireflies dancing in the night sky, he sensed a fragrant orchid in bloom, he sensed the swing...!

At first, it was Kaihime silently watching him train on that swing, then it was Shia silently watching him scatter starlight at the top of the tower, and now it's empty...

Qin Mo sensed something was wrong. The swing was a spot he would carefully sense during each of his cultivation sessions, but now he suddenly felt that he couldn't sense it anymore, as if that small area had vanished into thin air.

Qin Mo moved at will, disappearing from her original spot with a "whoosh" and then instantly appearing at the swing.

A hazy mist appeared in Qin Mo's eyes, enveloping the swing and hindering her perception.

Qin Mo exclaimed in alarm, "Hey! Where did this petty thief come from, daring to..."

A slender, long leg shot out from the mist with lightning speed, and the small shoe struck Qin Mo's chest with incredible force, much to his horror.

"Bang!"

Qin Mo flew backward in an arc, lying flat on her back.

"I recognize that leg of yours... Shia... You fucking bastard!"
