“Of course not! He can fly by himself... and all I want is to hold your hand.” Isaac quickly defended himself, raising his hands to try to prove his innocence, like a silly goose.
Upon seeing Isaac like this, Yun Wei tried his best to control himself from laughing out loud, but instead lowered his eyes and said, "Oh."
He was genuinely startled when he was suspended in the air, and even now that he was on the ground, he was still not completely calm, and his wrist, which was being tightly gripped by the other person, was still throbbing slightly.
“I’m telling the truth, Yun!” Seeing his master’s cold expression, Isaac quickly stepped forward and carefully took Yun Wei’s hands. “I just wanted to hold your hand, I forgot that this place is like this… Oh, sorry, your wrists are all swollen.”
Isaac stopped speaking and lowered his head in frustration, gently rubbing Yun Wei's wrist. His dual-attribute battle qi of light and fire covered his palm, making it both warm and gentle.
"I know, I'm not angry." Yun Wei leaned down and kissed Isaac's forehead. The other man gently massaged his wrist, making him feel drowsy. "Isaac, actually..."
Yun Wei paused, unsure whether he should say something.
The servant, who was trying to make amends, keenly noticed his master's hesitation and quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
After a moment's thought, Yun Wei said, "I've discovered that you don't actually hate Dilis that much."
If Isaac truly hated someone to the core, he wouldn't be in this state now.
Although he worried that Dilis might have already fallen into the abyss, Yun Wei still could not rule out the possibility that there was some kind of misunderstanding between Isaac and Dilis back then.
Unfortunately, Isaac always kept the details of the Battle of Glory to himself, and despite Yun Wei's long attempts to subtly probe him, he still came up empty-handed.
Damn it! If he had known this would happen, he should have secretly read more classic scenes on that novel platform back then!
As Yun Wei had predicted, Isaac fell silent again upon hearing this. Even so, his hands continued their work with focused and devout concentration.
After a long while, Yun Wei heard him say in a muffled voice, "I don't know. Ever since you gave me the massage, those strange sounds have rarely echoed in my head, and the excruciating pain in my heart has stopped..."
"So I haven't thought about him for a long time."
"Sometimes, I feel that everything that happened in the past is really far away, as if it happened to someone else."
"After meeting you, no, or perhaps to be more precise, since I realized I liked you, I've been really happy and joyful during this time."
"Although I feel it's childish to say this, I still want to say thank you, Yun, you saved me."
Their eyes met in the darkness, and the atmosphere became tender and lingering once again.
At this moment, they were supposed to kiss again. And Yun Wei tacitly approved of Isaac's approach—
"Boom!" Another loud explosion rang out nearby.
But then a blazing meteorite hurtled in from afar, crashing into the shimmering energy shield in the sky with a deafening roar.
Only then did the two realize why they had rushed back to Moonflower City. The night had been so quiet that they had been confessing their feelings in front of the clock tower, forgetting for a moment that it was an extremely urgent matter.
"Ahem, I think we should get back to business first!" With his wrist back to normal, Yun Wei quickly freed himself from the knight's grasp.
He hurriedly rushed towards the huge, crystal-clear sapling, inwardly criticizing himself:
They say lust is a double-edged sword, and Isaac's gaze is a sure path to ruin!
Yunwei, wake up! Don't switch to "dating mode" all the time!
...
With such a commotion, Moonflower City was already in chaos.
The open space in front of the Tower of All Laws was filled with heavily guarded soldiers. Their feathered hats and fur collars resembled blooming eagle tails, while the axes and halberds they held gleamed coldly in the night, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.
When Yunwei and Isaac rushed over, they saw Richard, who had returned to human form, standing at the top of the steps in front of the oak tree with a fierce expression.
It was obvious that the other party was already injured.
His usually flashy and sparkly dress was now tattered, his unruly silver hair was a mess, and crimson dragon blood was dripping continuously from the cuff of his left arm, running down his slender fingers.
Yun Wei immediately said to Isaac, "Let's go, let's go!"
The next moment, he was expertly pulled into the arms of his servant, who carried him, and in just a few leaps, they swept over the swarm of guards and arrived near Richard.
"Archers! Fire!" The already tense captain of the Imperial Guard, seeing the new developments on the battlefield, reacted immediately by ordering his men to launch an attack.
At this command, countless cold, sharp arrows flew rapidly toward the three people's location from not far away, like a torrential downpour.
"Clear dew, abundant water, command the endless blue waves of mountains and rivers to transform into an unbreakable barrier to protect this place." Yun Wei spread his arms and stood in front of Richard, but he used the last of his basic spellcasting techniques and chanted at high speed.
He compressed every syllable in the incantation to its extreme, like a sharp shriek piercing the sky.
A blue magic circle instantly formed in the void about a meter in front of his chest, shimmering with light. A wave of water rose from the ground, transforming into an unbreakable transparent wall that blocked all harm.
This is a level four water-based spell, Gentle Water Protection.
The arrows fell on the azure water curtain without leaving a trace; the crossbow bolts struck the magical light shield, causing only slight ripples.
Yun Wei's magic power was gradually draining away, which he used to continuously summon water elementals to repair the water curtain in front of them. In other words, as long as Yun Wei's magic power was not exhausted, the three of them were still safe for the time being.
"Stop, Richard, you haven't made an irreparable mistake yet," Yun Wei roared at the battered silver dragon.
“Heh, little guy.” Richard lazily lifted his eyelids, his silver eyes sparkling, just like the day he first met Yun Wei. “I’m not like you, who can wait for the time to run out without doing anything and then be chosen by them to be sent into the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws.”
The "them" here likely refers to the other three teammates who have not yet arrived.
Clearly, in Richard's view, Vivian was already close to Yun Wei, Xie Mulang and Yun Wei were of the same ilk, and even that sleepy boy was repeatedly told by his cousin to get along well with Yun Wei.
Compared to Yun Wei, he had absolutely no chance of entering the Tower of Ten Thousand Laws.
But he had a compelling reason to enter the Tower of All Laws...
He was distressed and pained by this, yet there was nothing he could do.
Was he really going to just stand by and watch the dragon he once loved die a miserable and pathetic death amidst a chorus of angry condemnation?
Must he endure the fact that the paradise he once lived in has become desolate and unrecognizable due to the invasion of filthy alien species?
Magic is a mysterious power that all living beings on the continent of Zhuyuan can master.
The Tower of All Laws should be a sacred magical site for all living beings on the continent of all realms, and certainly not the exclusive domain of humankind.
The moment the script ended that day, he collapsed pathetically into a pool of cold blood. A cold, indifferent mechanical voice announced the rules for entering the Tower of All Laws.
Fortunately, the script in his hand, which was gradually dimming, echoed with an eerie chant in his mind.
At that moment, it was as if he had become Luther, the tyrant from a thousand years ago—
As long as you offer your loyalty to the abyss, you will eventually reap the rewards.
