said hurriedly before entering the
lounge haha AI is eager to rescue Elder
Jew shall we head to the second floor
for a drink Allan suggested aen declined
expressing a need to rest for a while gu
tontion and the others had questions for
Allen so they followed him upstairs
their task was to Aid Eileen in
obtaining the position of Chief yet now
that the heart of Life had been
delivered and Aisha had escaped why was
their mission still incomplete once
seated Allan casually found a few
bottles of fruit wine on the second
floor and distributed them among the
group Allan now that we have the heart
of Life Elder Gio should be the Chief
without a doubt right gonon probe. don't
worry once the elders confirmed tomorrow
morning it will be settled Allan replied
cheerfully pouring himself a full glass
you've all accomplished a great feed II
just now invited you to stay that is a
good sign just wait for your rewards
gonon and the others finally relaxed
chatting with Allan and savoring the
fruit w
only X ehong kept Downing glass after
glass as if he were addicted until L
Zing unable to Bear it any longer
snatched the cup from his hands and
whispered something Joy Hong slightly
inebriated yet still relatively
clear-headed ceased drinking rising to
curl up in a corner appearing quite
pitiable Yun Yun go talk to him gonon
said feeling a Pang of sympathy knowing
xihong harbored feelings for hang Yun
she urged her to engage him in
conversation hoping to offer some
comfort hang Yun hesitated for a moment
before rising to approach him unsure of
what to say and fearing XI Hong might
resent her she recalled how schan Wu had
indirectly saved her life and felt
compelled to express her gratitude ehong
hang Yun said as she settled beside him
against the wall DM Jo ehong replied
softly his voice thick with emotion
thank you for saving me today d o need
to mention it. awkward silence enveloped
them you know I like you Joy Hong
suddenly spoke startling hang Yun
thought I doubt this hang Yun had not
anticipated xiong's confession with only
two girls in the group she had sensed
something but never expected him to
confess at such a moment haha XY Hong
laughed self-deprecatingly how could I
be worthy of you especially now that he
had lost schan Wu and several of the
contracted Spirits he had painstakingly
nurtured his combat power had greatly
diminished such losses could not be
remedied by merely opening a few
treasure chests hang 's face flushed
Crimson wanting to argue that worthiness
was not for him to decide yet she
hesitated fearing XY Hong might
misunderstand her feelings which were
not romantic I know you don't like me
you prefer someone like jong a dashing
hero X ehong lifted his head gazing
earnestly at hang Yun so you needn't
feel guilty in why saving you was merely
out of camaraderie my unrequited
feelings are my own Affair hearing this
hang Yun felt a Pang of sorrow and
stammered your quite wonderful really
but I'm not ready for a relationship XI
Hong regarded her silently I hang Yan's
usually pure eyes a hint of weariness
emerged in this precarious game what
right did she have to pursue romance
once one had faced life and death the
pain would only intensify why bother
especially after experiencing betrayal
the suffering would be magnified and the
cost would be greater she had always
remained clear-headed about such matters
admiring handsome faces was one thing
embarking on a romantic relationship was
another before her transmigration she

being emotionally manipulated was
profoundly distressing she was merely
