"I'd be so happy if you'd like to come with me~"
Lorna's breathing was slightly rapid, and she seemed somewhat excited.
Her personality has completely changed compared to before.
Lu Cang's expression, however, returned to its usual calm and indifferent state.
Lu Cang: "Wait for me here."
"Hey, just wait a minute."
"If you don't come in half an hour, I'll leave on my own, but people would really appreciate it if you could come with me."
Lorna smiled sweetly.
Lu Cang did not answer, but instead opened his guild base portal.
Turn around and enter the portal.
Yacaticto followed Lu Cang inside with a somewhat complicated expression.
Before Lu Cang closed the portal, Luo Na said with a smile, "Just because you've gone through a few reincarnations doesn't mean you're really qualified to be on the same chessboard as us."
Buzz—
The base teleportation portal is closed.
In the entire maze, only Rona remained.
The maze was quiet and deserted.
Rona took small steps in the magnificent hall, the echoes of her footsteps reverberating throughout the palace.
"Hmm~"
"Hmph~"
"Little Azure Sky, Azure Sky~ You're still a little too green to make a deal with the God of Wealth~"
Lorna happily hummed a song.
-----------------
Guild Base
"The Sky".
"What exactly is going on?"
Lu Cang glanced at Yacaticto.
"Yakatikto".
He seemed to want to say something, and opened his mouth, but then shook his head, it was unclear what he was thinking.
"No, it's nothing."
“You don’t look alright,” Yacaticto said worriedly.
However, Lu Cang remained silent, only frowning and thinking for a while.
So, what's the next step?
"I ask calmly," Yacaticto asked.
"Lorna asked us if we wanted to continue walking with her."
As if worried that Lu Cang hadn't heard Rona's words, Yacaticto repeated them.
Normally, she certainly wouldn't have gone to such lengths.
However, the current state of the sky is too strange, which makes Yacaticto very worried.
Lu Cang did not respond to Yacaticto, but remained lost in thought, chin in hand, like a statue.
Yacaticto said, "Xinbaiyue's ascension to demigod status should be complete."
"According to what you said... after completing her advancement by soaking in the Desire Cold Spring, her Seven Sins of Lust should have stabilized."
Lu Cang has a deep understanding of the upper realm and knows how to alleviate the backlash from Xin Baiyue's lust.
In order to suppress the backlash from lust, Xin Baiyue cannot advance instantly like Xiu Mi.
Other supporting promotion processes are needed.
"Sky, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me."
"I might have a solution."
"I'm worried," Yacaticto said.
"No, these are all just guesses, and it's not certain yet."
Lu Cang shook his head again, his expression now completely calm: "I'll go and bring Xin Baiyue back."
"I need to verify something."
Yacaticto: "Okay."
Lu Cang didn't even meet Bai Lu and the others before directly entering a portal in the [teleportation group] within the stronghold.
Go through the portal.
We arrived at a region where a blizzard was raging.
Before me was a pool of icy water.
Despite the extreme cold, the pool water did not freeze at all.
Xin Baiyue stood in the pool, her every glance and smile stirring up the world.
Even though the rolling snow obscured everything, Xin Baiyue's face could still be clearly seen in the vast snow.
"The Sky".
"You've arrived. I'm so cold."
Xin Baiyue said softly.
The frail woman standing in the biting cold wind made one's heart tremble.
I couldn't resist wanting to hug her.
To dispel the cold for her.
When he came to his senses, Xin Baiyue was already in his arms.
A bewitching demigod.
"Mmm~ Your embrace is so warm." Xin Baiyue nestled against Lu Cang's chest.
"Bai Yue, I have something very important to do."
"Is anything more important than me?"
"Very important."
"Sigh, I see. Such an unromantic man only thinks of me when he needs something."
Lu Cang did not linger with Xin Baiyue, but instead grabbed her and turned back to the stronghold.
Then another portal was opened from the base.
Back inside the maze, Lu Cang had already encroached on a portion of that territory, turning it into guild territory.
Used to open a portal.
The portal opened, and Lu Cang returned to Luo Na's side once again.
Xin Baiyue also appeared along with Lu Cang.
"And this is~" Rona smiled with narrowed eyes, looking at Xin Baiyue.
"Oh~ Such exquisite beauty."
Xin Baiyue had never met Luo Na, but she knew of her existence from the information Lu Cang gave her.
Luo Na glanced at Xin Baiyue before turning her gaze to Lu Cang: "You're still so cautious, trying to test my sincerity."
Luo Na spoke casually, completely disregarding Xin Baiyue.
Xin Baiyue's charm had no effect on her whatsoever.
She only saw him once, and Xin Baiyue did nothing yet.
"You can go back now."
Lu Cang said calmly to Xin Baiyue.
Xin Baiyue glanced at Lu Cang.
"Eh~ Am I really someone you can summon and dismiss at will?"
Even so, Xin Baiyue's gaze lingered on Luo Na for a moment before she turned and went back.
They have no intention of staying any longer.
In the end, only Lu Cang and Luo Na remained in the maze.
"So, would you like to continue exploring this maze with me?"
Lu Cang took out a lemongrass stalk from his backpack, lit it with the power of fire, and took a deep breath.
"It seems that even without me, you should be able to complete the game on your own."
If Lu Cang hadn't been there, what would have been summoned would have been [Excited Rona].
Naturally, there will be no threat from [Shadow Sky].
Rona smiled faintly.
Since Rona has no difficulties, all she needs is for him to enter the maze.
Those who enter this labyrinth will be imprinted on it.
This isn't about whether Rona can solo it; it's about her needing Lu Cang to enter the maze and be branded by it.
If things proceed as they did in the previous life, it wouldn't matter if we left marks in the maze.
But now it seems we really were outmaneuvered.
Whether or not I continue to accompany Luo Na now is probably no longer important to her.
She has already achieved her goal.
"When did you start..."
"Before you are reborn."
"This world didn't start turning after you were reborn."
“I had already begun preparing before you were reincarnated, before you appeared.”
"I said lightly," Rona said.
"After learning of your existence, I pondered for a long time, and spent a long time thinking about how to balance and plan among Ansu, Kumironi, Zhuya, Izparut and others."
"Ultimately, I believe there is a tiny, invisible, and subtle key point that must be addressed as a priority."
"Guess who that little dot is~" Rona said happily.
