Xue controlled White, standing tall in the hall.
She looked down upon the people of the Maple Language Sword Pavilion.
Xue’s clansmen held weapons; some encircled Xue, while others shielded the Family Head of the Maple Language Sword Pavilion.
“Alright, Gracia, this is not the time to be willful. You could have been a proper Young Lady, but instead you go and become someone else’s Guardian. Is that appropriate?”
“Heh, now you’re pretending to be loving? Family Head, if you truly care about family ties, please return the Glacier Ring that Master gave me.”
Xue opened her hand, demanding the Glacier Ring from the people before her.
Though a smile hung on her face, a large amount of ice gathered around her.
The energy harmonized by Dongfang Jiang emanated continuously.
“How dare you speak to the Family Head like that!”
All kinds of weapons attacked Gracia.
But Gracia’s body contained the energy Dongfang Jiang had given her.
She lightly spun White and easily neutralized everyone’s attacks.
“This guy was in a coma for three years, how is she so strong after waking up… If only I hadn’t sold Gracia back then.”
The Family Head of the Maple Language Sword Pavilion watched Gracia fight against many, grinding his molars.
Originally, he had wanted to take the high-level ring from Gracia and distribute it to others.
A few days ago, while Gracia was still in a coma, a ring covered in white frost suddenly appeared by her pillow.
He thought this would be a turning point for the family, but unexpectedly, it was a sign that the Worldly Demon King Gracia was about to awaken.
And so, after Gracia woke up and found the ring missing, she went on a rampage with White in the house for several days like a madwoman.
Finally, she even staged a coup during the family meeting.
The result of the battle was without suspense.
Xue knocked everyone present to the ground.
She sheathed White into its scabbard and slowly walked up to the Family Head.
“Even if I gave you three years, it’s useless. Will you take it out yourself, or should I…”
Gracia was already a super genius of this generation, and now with the large amount of harmonized energy from Dongfang Jiang backing her, naturally none of those present were a match for Gracia.
The Family Head’s graying temples were frozen by the energy erupted from Gracia.
He watched as Gracia’s fingers slightly curled.
The Family Head understood that if he dared to say no, Gracia wouldn’t mind helping him cosplay as Tokito Muichiro for a bit.
“I’ll give it… but Little Xue, can you bear the consequences behind this? Wah.”
Gracia ignored the Family Head in front of her.
She controlled White and slammed it hard onto the Family Head’s shoulder.
The Family Head rolled several times on the ground, and a deep blue ring fell out from his pocket.
“So noisy.”
Gracia examined the ring, and upon confirming it was the Glacier Ring Dongfang Jiang had given her, she slowly put the ring on the ring finger of her right hand.
Gracia felt a surge of energy flow into her body from the ring.
She controlled White and lightly tapped the ground.
A mass of ice spread from White as the origin, turning the entire floor into a single glacier.
The words 【Freeze】 appeared in her mind.
‘【This is the Authority I’ve obtained…】’
Using energy as a medium, Gracia bound everyone present in place.
After doing everything, Xue hummed a tune, stepped over to the Family Head, searched his body, found a token, and smiled while greeting everyone in the room.
“Bye-bye, everyone. I timed it well. In three hours, the ice will melt on its own~”
Everyone could only watch as Gracia happily left the family with the family’s important weapon, White.
After confirming the ice had melted, the Family Head angrily summoned his subordinates.
“Pass my orders! Issue a bounty on Gracia. Kill Gracia on sight, and bring back White and that ring.”
“Yes!”
After leaving the Maple Language Sword Pavilion, Gracia hummed a tune and headed toward the Royal Capital.
She was incredibly eager to meet Dongfang Jiang.
“Hehe, what will Master think when he sees that I’m actually a bit taller and more voluptuous than the version he saw in his dreams~”
Before Gracia finished speaking, she clearly sensed someone chasing her from behind.
She sighed.
“They’re fast. I can’t lead these people to Master.”
Gracia took a deep breath, drew White from its scabbard, and swung toward the direction of the pursuers…
Dongfang Jiang, still in Claire Town, saw the System’s notification sound.
He opened his own star map, and a new line had appeared centered on him.
“Oh ho, Xue has put on the ring.”
Here, Dongfang Jiang, who had gained two years of lifespan, looked at Pandana whose cheeks were stuffed full, and told her the good news.
“Great news! To celebrate, I want to eat one more bun!”
“Go ahead, it’s no big deal.”
Due to the cooperation with the Jones Family, Dongfang Jiang’s current strength was terrifyingly powerful.
He naturally paid for Pandana’s meal.
“By the way, Mister Dongfang, when are we leaving for the Royal Capital?”
“Tomorrow. Since I’m being targeted, I don’t plan to stay in this town too long.”
“Great! I also want to meet Little Xue.”
Dongfang Jiang looked at the bustling street.
Claire Town was peaceful and harmonious, matching his expectations of a good life.
He looked at Pandana, who was still dealing with a large steak.
He rested his hands on the table and gazed at Pandana.
“Pandana.”
“Yes?”
Pandana looked up, somewhat confused, but her chewing didn’t slow down at all.
“I’m saying, if one day we gather all the Guardians, what should we do next?”
“Hmm, that’s a problem…”
Pandana put down her knife and fork.
She was also troubled by Dongfang Jiang’s question.
“By the way, I heard that at the border between the Dust Kingdom and the Kingdom of Aiselin, there’s a mountain range with a pleasant climate. Also, both the Dust Kingdom and the Kingdom of Aiselin have somewhat weak control over that mountain range. We could go there and build a house… and then…”
“And then?”
Dongfang Jiang looked at the silent Pandana with confusion.
Pandana’s cheeks were blushing at an astonishing speed.
“Hoo hoo, the rest is a secret.”
Pandana looked at Dongfang Jiang.
In her vision of the future, she would always be by Dongfang Jiang’s side, witnessing everything about Dongfang Jiang.
Maybe, just maybe, Dongfang Jiang would become hers… Pandana’s face grew even redder.
Dongfang Jiang watched the fantasizing Pandana, reached out, and patted her head.
From Pandana’s reaction, Dongfang Jiang knew that he must have a very important place in her future.
