Balls of crumpled paper towels lay scattered under the bed.
Leixia took a piece of paper from the bedside table and wiped the saliva off Fang Ming's face guiltily. The harder she tried, the more guilty she felt.
"Hey! What are you doing? You've been staring at me without saying anything for so long!"
Leixia was the first to break down, and felt uneasy when being stared at by Fang Ming's gloomy eyes.
"At worst, you...you can just beat me up!"
Fang Ming put his hand on her forehead and flicked his index finger with force.
Leixia cried out "Ouch!", covered her head and fell off Fang Ming, rolling twice on the bed.
"How do these scattered lightning flashes return?"
Fang Ming stretched out his fingertips and the golden spots of light swayed across them, making a crackling sound as they brushed past his fingertips, and floated away into the distance, calling out to their owners.
The room was silent.
Fang Ming smiled and continued to ask, "What do you think about your response when you said being a woman is good?"
Leixia pretended to be dead, covered her head with the quilt, and kept silent like an ostrich.
"I don't know. I felt dizzy and fell asleep."
Fang Ming lifted the quilt and covered her head completely, leaving her body below the neck exposed, giving her a beauty like a headless knight.
"Hey! What are you doing!?"
The voice was a little distorted through the quilt, but I could still hear her panic and her hands and feet fidgeting nervously.
The Dullahan girl fell weakly on the big white bed. After removing her armor, her body emitted mysterious golden light, giving off a strange atmosphere in the night.
Fang Ming was amazed, and held her down to prevent her from getting up, threatening her with words:
"How dare you spit at me? I'll give you the same in your own way!"
…
When the last ray of sunset disappeared from the horizon, night fell on the city of Joensuu.
Tulip lay on the bed holding her daughter Alice, humming a nursery rhyme from her hometown.
Looking at the girl's peaceful and calm sleeping face, I suddenly felt all the tiredness brought by a day's hard work swept away.
After her daughter's acute illness was cured by the kind-hearted couple, she no longer risked becoming a prostitute, which would be embarrassing for her.
Tulip's short career ended up with just that one deal, which was a blessing in disguise.
However, the recent rumors about the factory have caused panic among the people, and the explosion at the military factory today made her nervous all day long.
When I was getting off work, I heard the news that the sea monsters in the port had created huge waves that were almost submerging the entire city, and the survivors almost rioted again.
Fear is spreading in the hearts of every low-class person. Perhaps an accident will happen tomorrow and take everyone's life.
Tulip hugged her daughter, silent tears falling on the moldy mattress.
"My poor child, how can mother protect you..."
Bang!
A loud bang disturbed the quiet night, and flames shot up from the inner city, piercing the dark night sky.
The awakened survivors walked out of the door one after another. The narrow corridor was crowded with people, and everyone looked at the night sky in disbelief.
Above the academy, a woman's figure stood in mid-air, and a raging fire dragon dispelled the darkness and hovered around the figure.
Corinna stood in the night sky, looking down at the city with an indifferent expression. Countless magical lights gathered towards her from afar.
Burning flames, surging torrents, violent thunder and lightning, invisible gales, light and darkness confronting each other, soil and vegetation coexisting...
