"…………"
Cecilia's expression remained unchanged, but she continued to move her spear a little closer to Ning Feng.
It's so close.
Even though no power was being channeled into the spear, its extreme sharpness was already causing Ning Feng's skin to sting.
If he uttered just one more word, the spear made of light and heat would pierce him completely.
She was serious; she wasn't joking.
Sensing Cecilia's seriousness, Ning Feng also put away his smile and said the second half of his sentence:
"...His most capable subordinates."
Clang.
Ning Feng turned his head to dodge the blade aimed at him and waved his hand:
"Haha, don't get excited, it's just a little joke."
"After all, if you don't say it, you'll always remain silent, won't you?"
Ning Feng gently pressed his fingertips against the spear shaft, then lowered the spear, looking at the tense and wary angel:
"Don't worry, I don't know anything."
"real."
The King of Angels squinted, staring intently at the unfamiliar figure.
What exactly do you know?
Cecilia herself was still confused about the changes that had occurred to her, so why did this man seem to have everything under control?
bluff?
No, that's not how it works.
Cecilia had seen his performances, knew his mental state when he was bluffing, and was familiar with every detail of him.
His current composure is not feigned; he genuinely feels that everything is under control.
"I don't know anything, really."
Seizing the opportunity presented by this hesitation, Ning Feng spoke directly:
"I am just an insignificant mortal, how could I possibly know the secrets of the Lord of Holy Light?"
"I have no idea that He deliberately severed a part of His humanity in order to maintain His purity, let alone know what that part of His humanity eventually became..."
"This is something only the Lord of Holy Light knows. He has not told anyone, not even the other gods. How would I know?"
He held his index finger to his lips and chuckled softly.
"So, just take it as me talking nonsense."
Please don't take it seriously.

The spear formed from light was crushed, and in the instant it shattered, it transformed into radiance and flew back to the angel's wings.
"…………"
She glanced once more at the man on the demon throne, then turned her back and strode out.
Cecilia.
The angel's footsteps never ceased, and Ning Feng, seated on the throne, did not rise. Instead, he murmured to himself as she turned away:
"Are you really determined to leave? My advice is not to do anything foolish. No one here needs your sacrifice."
"Relax, Cecilia, I'm here for you, you don't need to worry."
"Your soul, your self, your memories... all of these belong to you."
"You're just a little confused right now; you'll be fine after a while of rest."
He said:
"Maybe I don't know anything, but all I can tell you right now is this."
"I can't save everyone, but I can save a few."
Staring intently at the angel's retreating figure, he said earnestly:
"I will save you."
He made that promise.
Not as a prophet of the Watchers, nor as a sage who is about to become the Lord of the Abyss.
It means swearing an oath in his own name.
Her steps finally came to a halt; the Angel King stopped her departure.
"…………"
She wanted to turn around, and her body involuntarily turned most of the way around, but she restrained herself at the last second and turned back.
Click!
The space before her shattered like glass, creating a huge crack. She strode into it and disappeared.
Looking at the gradually healing crack, Ning Feng shook his head and sighed.
"If you insist on leaving, I still have the same request."
Please don't block my way.
"I hope that when we meet again, we won't be enemies."
Ning Feng waited, but this time he did not hear the advice he was expecting.
"...I will remember that vow."
...
...
They've left.
"They're leaving."
The black cat sat on the armrest of the throne and lazily stretched.
Aren't you going to chase after them?
"I chased after her, but she insisted on leaving, so there was nothing I could do."
I got dumped.
With a helpless smile, Ning Feng raised his hand and pressed it against the head of the gloating black cat.
"Nonsense."
Haha, I was just talking nonsense~ But I'm a little surprised you didn't think that way.
Ariana nuzzled Ning Feng's palm with her head, her eyes half-closed, making purring sounds.
"There's nothing surprising about it. I'm not someone who doesn't understand people's hearts."
"If she was only thinking of herself, she wouldn't need to be so conflicted; she could have just killed me right here."
Those murderous intents just now weren't threats, but genuine attempts to kill Ning Feng.
"But she restrained herself."
“Cecilia didn’t leave for herself; she made the decision for me.”
"Tell me, what reason do I have to blame her? It's because I wasn't strong enough to solve the problem perfectly after forcibly keeping her here."
They look very similar.
"Very similar...yes, they are somewhat similar."
“If I’m similar to you in terms of scheming and intrigue, then Cecilia and I are truly alike in our obsessions.”
