On the deck, there were even more people coming and going.

The local clerk he met earlier had moved a table over and was now seated, writing fervently, while some members of the Flame Corps were maintaining order.

Now this ship was the Flying Airship with a white coating seen on the Aerial Realm route, adorned everywhere with the emblem of the Order Flame Corps.

Looking down from the edge, the ship was floating above the Flowing Silver Arena, which had been tidied up to become the most suitable venue for events due to its broad and flat surface.

An elevator was attached from the side of the ship to the ground; many people boarding were local islanders. Listening to a few words, Li Ang realized it was part of the aftermath work, explaining and resolving their queries and discussing compensation matters.

Although the disaster was caused by others, the Guild always considered maintaining order its duty, and ensuring the civilians' interests at this time also made itself more stable.

Walking to a place where there was no one, Li Ang leaned on the railing, taking deep breaths of high-altitude air.

Indeed, indoors felt a bit stifling; now exhaling impure air, his body and mind were much more open.

The previous topic, although people from the Holy City liked to treat it as gossip and laughter, since he was the party involved, he certainly couldn't laugh.

The scenes from those years, that high and far-reaching realm, that unparalleled power, the sword light that was enough to shake one's soul... the soft whispers, moist breaths, the body that made one's spirit sway during those entanglements… all deeply marked in memory, impossible to forget.

It was precisely because of this that her final choice left him unable to understand.

A familiar magic power fluctuation came from behind, Elaphia had arrived nearby.

Turning around, besides the Blondie Douding, Zoe and Farina had also surrounded him.

"Li Ang, don't be angry..." Zoe whispered.

Li Ang sighed and gave a smile to the little cat.

"How could I be angry with you over such things?"

"But you were clearly angry, I've never seen that expression from you before, I was scared I did something wrong."

"Absolutely not."

Li Ang reached out and patted her on the head, soothing her worries.

"I'm scared too." Dorothy puckered up and leaned closer.

Oh, forget it, Li Ang knew she was being cute, so he also patted her head to make her happy.

With that, Andasu and ALulu couldn't pass up the chance either.

One hand on each side, his fingers brushed over the ivory-like silky white hair and pink curls, accidentally touching the beast ears of the former and the short round horns of the latter.

They blushed intensely, seemingly unconcerned.

Farina chuckled from the side, "Does sister also have one?"

"You can forget it."

"Eh? Why? Have we grown distant? I'm so upset."

When Li Ang looked at Elaphia, her face flashed a flying red, her eyes glowing brilliantly for a while, then she said, "No need."

So, Li Ang sighed, concluding, "I indeed have nothing to be angry about, I simply came out to end the topic."

Facing everyone, he glanced slightly at the Blondie Douding:

"Elaphia was right, back then I did fool around, I even felt that continuing to live with that person might be good, forgetting about team glory, career pursuit."

"She was about to reach the Legendary Realm; even living off her would be awesome."

"No need to guess, the ending was simple: after saying 'I'm going to seek a breakthrough,' she disappeared."

"I always thought she'd have that day, and after a long cultivation journey, I reached my current realm. I thought, given our relationship, I'd not only learn what millions can't touch but witness the birth of a legend firsthand."

"But she didn't need me, and left decisively."

Li Ang nearly said, "like discarding an old item," but that seemed a bit pitiful and felt like seeking sympathy, so he didn't mention it.

"Since she didn't need me, then for me, it's just over; just a passerby in life, nothing will linger."

Saying this, Elaphia suddenly seemed urgent, lips moving, small hands unconsciously gripping her skirt, very uneasy.

Seeing Li Ang turn away to gaze at the distant horizon, not looking at her, she instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Ang scratched his hair.

"The reason I don't want to discuss is simple, purely annoying; think of her strength, how famous she should have been, I already had various pressures, after she disappeared, gossip from the Holy City spread wildly, nobody believed what I said, rumors flew everywhere."

Dorothy gently stroked Li Ang's shoulder, "It's indeed a tough situation; I shouldn't have been petty, pursuing to ask, I apologize."

She added, "Punishing me for this is okay too."

Li Ang sighed; her words made his head ache.

"Yes, don't think about such people, too over the line."

Zoe said, "I also wield a sword, I can replace her. I too will reach the Legendary Realm."

Her confidence was even stronger than Elaphia, who was the nearest to legendary here.

"Don't say such things."

Li Ang again patted the little cat's head, "Zoe is Zoe, not anyone's substitute. I also won't think of having you replace anyone, be the best you can, I'll witness the light you emit."

Zoe smiled, satisfaction all over her face.

His words made the other girls unhappy, Dorothy immediately said, "What about me, what about me, say such words to me too."

"Dorothy, after embarking on an adventure, you've progressed a lot, no longer the lazy pampered girl you once were. Though there's still much room for improvement, you meet the standard from an adventurer's perspective, I've seen all this. Such as you, surely you'll gradually grasp the life you want."
