The Glazed Lion took out a recording stone with a clang, and activated the image after activating its energy. A majestic lion descended from the sky and kicked Jiang Yuan in the stomach, sending him flying far away. The lion then stood there arrogantly baring its teeth and claws in a victorious manner.
"See? Would I lie to you?" The Glazed Lion put the recording stone away again, afraid that Leng Yue would discover something fishy.
"You really lost?" Leng Yue asked Jiang Yuan in disbelief.
"hehe!"
Jiang Yuan was speechless at the 'despicable' behavior of the Glazed Spirit Lion. Could this guy have no shame? How dare he boast about his achievements in front of him, the person directly involved?
"Fine, since nobody wants me anyway, and nobody wants you either, I'll take care of you from now on, and we'll depend on each other for survival!" Leng Yue likes cats, although she has never had the opportunity to raise one, but the big lion is quite nice now.
The originally frivolous Glazed Lion suddenly fell silent upon hearing Leng Yue's words. Having experienced endless loneliness, it actually harbored a different kind of longing for affection. However, its status determined that this longing was destined to be buried deep in its heart and could not be revealed.
Now, a human is saying that he wants to depend on it for survival, which has truly touched a chord deep in its heart.
Seeing Leng Yue clinging to the neck of the Glazed Lion, Jiang Yuan agreed. Leng Yue, who had returned from Nancheng, had indeed become increasingly silent. She had gradually closed herself off. Perhaps the appearance of the Glazed Lion could make her optimistic again.
"Since you two are willing to become partners, then I can only offer my blessings." Jiang Yuan shrugged.
"What's the use of just offering blessings? There's no gift yet. Didn't you just get a Glazed Star Core? Give it to me as a gift!" the Glazed Spirit Lion said shamelessly.
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "You wish! That's the key to my condensing of the Starry Sky Glazed Glass!"
"You stingy person!"
The glass lion pouted and gave Jiang Yuan a disdainful look.
"Let's go, let's go to the entrance of the Eternal Night of Radiance." Jiang Yuan patted Leng Yue on the shoulder.
The indignant Crystal Lion said defiantly, "Don't walk with him, I'll carry you and fly, it'll definitely be faster than him!"
Jiang Yuan grinned and looked at the Glazed Lion with a strange expression. Had this big lion lost its mind?
"Jiang Yuan, can you do me a favor?" Leng Yue reached out her hand to Jiang Yuan.
"call!"
Jiang Yuan took a breath, then walked over to Leng Yue, picked her up, and placed her on the back of the Glazed Spirit Lion. Seeing her smile, he felt relieved and said, "Cheer up, don't always have such a long face."
Leng Yue remained silent, gently patting the back of the Glazed Lion and saying, "Great Lion, let's go!"
"Alright, buckle up, we're off!"
The Glazed Lion was incredibly fast, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye, leaving Jiang Yuan, who hadn't yet made a move, behind.
"Glassy Spirit Lion, you'd better not hurt my people, or else!"
As Jiang Yuan watched the departing man and lion, he silently warned himself. He wasn't sure if the Glazed Lion approached Leng Yue because it genuinely wanted a companion or had ulterior motives, but whatever the outcome, Leng Yue couldn't afford any mishaps.
After letting Liu Zhaodi know he was safe, Jiang Yuan followed Leng Yue and the others all the way to Nancheng.
South City, this is the entrance to the Eternal Night of Radiance. It was the secret realm that he and Liu Zhaodi entered together, and this place holds great significance for Jiang Yuan.
"Hmm, why not go to the entrance of the secret realm?"
Jiang Yuan sensed Leng Yue's location, but that location was not so friendly to them, because it was the place where the oath was sworn and fell, including Leng Yue herself.
No one answered him, so he could only chase after them to see what was going on.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Yuan followed Leng Yue's guidance to her location, but he did not see the Glazed Spirit Lion there.
"How did I get here? Where's the Glazed Lion? Did it leave?" Jiang Yuan looked around but still couldn't see the Glazed Lion.
“I had it wait for me at the entrance to the secret realm.” Leng Yue finished speaking and bit her lip, waiting for Jiang Yuan’s reaction.
Jiang Yuan nodded and asked, "How did you get here?"
“I…” Leng Yue hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking, and ultimately offered no explanation.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile. He walked straight to the middle of the ruins and said quietly, "Yes, revisiting old places and remembering the past is the only way to cherish the present."
Cherish the present.
Leng Yue murmured four words, then suddenly looked up and said, "When you still owe me an answer!"
"What answer?" Jiang Yuan frowned; he didn't know Leng Yue's purpose.
After thinking for a long time, Leng Yue finally mustered up her courage and asked, "Jiang Yuan, do you still mind what I've been through in the past?"
Upon hearing Leng Yue's words, Jiang Yuan realized what she was talking about.
"Leng Yue, I'm sorry. I apologize to you on behalf of Ning Yanlan. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been dragged into this conspiracy, and you wouldn't have suffered so much during that time." Jiang Yuan apologized sincerely.
Back then, Ning Yanlan already controlled the Northern City Alliance and the Southern City Warlords. It can be said that everything Ning Yanlan and Leng Yue experienced there was just a setup. In particular, Leng Yue, who suffered physical and mental trauma, had a humiliating memory implanted in her by Ning Yanlan that did not belong to her.
Leng Yue said nervously, "I don't want an apology, I want an answer."
"What answer?" Jiang Yuan straightened up, somewhat confused.
“Didn’t you reject me back then because I was impure because of what I went through? And now, I…” Leng Yue hesitated and didn’t finish her sentence.
“Leng Yue, you’ve misunderstood me. I’ve never rejected you because of that incident. Our relationship can be friendship, it can be kinship, but romantic love is an exception.” Jiang Yuan answered decisively.
