Under this mode of interaction, the two did not grow distant; on the contrary, their relationship gradually improved, and Cecilia took the initiative to appear in front of Ning's cover more often.
But now, the favorability rating that was finally raised to a friendly level seems about to plummet to rock bottom again.
While others may not know the exact role Ning Feng played in the battle against the sacrificed archangel, Cecilia was certainly aware of it.
She would know when Ning Feng would speak and what choices he would make.
Even after understanding all this, Ning Feng still did not hold back and did not offer any advice to the stargazer.
It wasn't that Ning Feng didn't care about Cecilia's feelings; he did. He certainly didn't want to ruin the hard-won foundation of their relationship over something like this.
But there are some things you can't simply avoid doing just because you don't want to.
The relationship between humans and supernatural beings is a matter of survival for both, leaving him with little energy to concern himself with anything else.
Even if this creates a rift between Cecilia and him, and reopens the cracks in their hard-won relationship...
Faced with the choice between humanity's future and Cecilia, Ning Feng chose the former.
At least for this moment, Cecilia's weight on the scales... is not enough.
Perhaps it was because Ariana was by his side that gave him a little bit of confidence, or perhaps he had already guessed the ending in his heart.
Ning Feng had already made his choice, and now all he had to do was face the consequences of it.
The two stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity, yet it also felt like a fleeting moment, a moment that felt incredibly long.
Thoughts, feelings, intentions... the two of them seemed to connect in an instant and then quickly separate.
silence.
The staring contest gradually lengthened, and the shocked legends sensed something amiss, secretly glancing at the swordsman as they pondered what would happen next.
Clang.
The simple longsword was drawn from its scabbard, its silver blade almost blending into the wielder's armor.
Ning Feng watched Cecilia's actions with some emotion and regret, but ultimately he couldn't accept it.
In the end, you still chose this attitude.
That makes sense, after all, you are also a supernatural being...
Ning Feng lowered his eyes and slowly closed them; he didn't want to look any longer.
Hehe~
!
!
A teasing voice suddenly interrupted Ning Feng's thoughts, and a pair of warm arms passionately wrapped around Ning Feng's neck from behind, and then...
They moved upwards and pried open Ning Feng's eyelids, forcing him to widen his eyes.
? ? ?
What the hell are you doing?!
?
Let me go!
【whee……】
This time, Ariana was unusually obedient and did not bargain, readily letting go of Ning Feng's eyes.
But just as he escaped the clutches, before Ning Feng, in his illusory soul form, could even speak, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders, and then his cheeks were gently pinched by soft skin.
"…………"
I advise you not to make a decision too soon!
Sitting on Ning Feng's shoulder, the uninvited guest, Ariana, lifted the hem of her skirt, looked down at her fair legs dangling in front of Ning Feng's chest, and smiled with satisfaction.
Do you truly not understand her heart, or are you deliberately keeping her at arm's length?
……What did you say?
To Ning Feng's astonishment, and even some incomprehension, Cecilia made a reaction that exceeded his expectations.
The sword was plunged straight into the deck of the cruise ship, and then the swordsman, clad in silver-white armor, slowly bowed his head towards Ning Feng in the sky, and then…
Kneel on one knee!
What!
?
This time, without Ariana even having to pry it open, Ning Feng's eyes widened involuntarily.
It took him a full second to figure out what had happened...
At this moment, Cecilia chose to bow her head to Ning Feng.
Surrender?
Respect?
As Cecilia made her move, the surrounding legends realized what had happened, and one by one they respectfully bowed to the "Stargazer" in the sky.
They performed various rituals, but what they all had in common was a fanatical expression on their faces as they chanted the name that represented the highest power of humanity.
"Stargazer!"
"Stargazer!"
"
They chanted the man's name, proud that humanity still had such a powerful being, and awestruck by his feat of shattering a supernatural being.
But the emotions hidden deep within their eyes cannot be known to outsiders.
Are they afraid of being overwhelmed by power beyond their capabilities?
Even if this power is on their side?
But what they didn't know was that the people who were respectfully bowing at that moment were not stargazers.
The being with divine power had already quietly departed the moment Cecilia lowered her head, avoiding the bow that was not meant for her.
She channeled a surge of power into Ning Feng's body, maintaining his current posture, while she herself returned to that empty space.
Ning Feng remained where he was, silently enduring the admiration and respect of the crowd.
There was no pride in his eyes, nor did he become arrogant or out of control in such a situation. Ning Feng knew very well who they were kneeling before at this moment.
She was the stargazer, the one who repelled the saint, but definitely not a weak half-succubus.
But he did not decline; instead, he accepted all the praise with equanimity.
He felt that he might deserve all of this.
At least, when he realized Cecilia had bowed to him, he felt surprise rather than panic.
