"With its strength, it would be quite easy for it to pull off a distracting sleight of hand."
Shen Nanxing suddenly scoffed, "But it also shows that those people are not as strong as it, they just use more crooked methods."
"A smokescreen?"
Xiao Longzhan was juggling a snowball in his hand, his eyes darting around, clearly plotting something mischievous.
"By the way, don't all you mythical beasts possess some kind of magic?"
Shen Nanxing suddenly lifted Xiao Longzhan up and gently poked his face, "You don't seem to know how?"
"I can, but casting spells requires spiritual energy, and there isn't any here."
Even my innate ability to control clouds and rain can only be used within a limited space.
Xiao Longzhan swung his legs and sighed.
"but--"
He changed the subject, draped his legs over Shen Nanxing's arm, and hung his entire body on his forearm.
"As long as I continue to absorb more crystal cores, even without spiritual energy, I can still cast a few minor spells."
only......"
Xiao Longzhan's expression suddenly turned dejected. "By then, it will be time for me to leave this world."
Heaven will not allow this outsider to disrupt the rules of this world.
"I can't bear to leave you, so I don't want to absorb so many crystal cores."
Xiao Longzhan reached out his hands to Jiang Nian'an, "Sister, hug me!"
Jiang Nian'an knew from the moment she signed the contract with Xiao Longzhan that he would leave her one day.
But hearing him bring up the same old things again still made her feel incredibly bitter and upset.
"Your sister will miss you too."
Jiang Nian'an hugged Xiao Longzhan tightly, her eyes reddening.
"Waaaaah, sister!"
Xiao Longzhan buried his face in her arms, his eyes brimming with tears.
Looking at the two children, one big and one small, who seemed to want to burst into tears, Shen Nanxing wished he could slap himself.
It's all his fault for talking like that, always bringing up that bullshit magic!
"It's you!"
Just as Shen Nanxing was about to comfort them, a group of people appeared from the street corner ahead.
The girl at the front saw Shen Nanxing and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
But then, as if remembering something, she deliberately turned her face away and gave a cold snort.
The arrival of this group also interrupted Jiang Nian'an and Xiao Longzhan's sorrowful mood.
"The one who was meddling earlier was the one who spoke just now."
Shen Nanxing took Xiaolongzhan from Jiang Nian'an's arms and whispered something in her ear.
Jiang Nian'an suddenly realized, her gaze lingering on the girl for a few more seconds before turning to the man beside her.
"Is he the son of the base chief in Shenyang?"
"Mm." Shen Nanxing nodded.
"He seems like a very reliable person."
Jiang Nian'an glanced behind them again.
Just as Shen Nanxing had said last night, his eyes were clear and bright, and he exuded a sense of righteousness.
Not the kind of cunning and deceitful person.
"What a coincidence, we meet again!"
Meng Yuke's lips curled slightly, and he gave Chen Nanxing a polite smile.
"It is indeed a coincidence."
Shen Nanxing smiled, even more enthusiastically than Meng Yuke.
This surprised Meng Yuke somewhat.
Although they only spent a short time together last night, he could tell that Shen Nanxing was not an easy person to get along with.
At least, he's not someone who would show enthusiasm to strangers.
He's changed his personality after just one night?
Shen Nanxing noticed Meng Yuke's surprise but didn't say anything.
Their arrival made An'an forget the unpleasantness from earlier, and he was naturally happy to give them more face.
Xiao Longzhan wasn't interested in the polite formalities between adults. He secretly glanced up and discovered that the building where the giant eagles were had suddenly become a floor shorter.
Is this the illusion my brother-in-law just mentioned?
A flicker of interest flashed in Xiao Longzhan's eyes, and he tugged at Shen Nanxing's collar with his small hand, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"
