“She’s called… Liya?”
“Who is she? ? “
“How does she only have 3 wins in the qualifiers…? “
“Our Young Master Akmon completed the qualifiers perfectly with a record of 17 wins and 1 loss!”
“Seeing Young Master Akmon standing right in front of her, why doesn’t this Liya just surrender directly? “
“Look at those skinny arms and legs. Aren’t you afraid she’ll get hurt? “
The mysterious girl wearing a veil attracted quite a few strange looks the moment she entered the arena.
After all, as one of the super dark horses who might take the top spot, Akmon’s performance in the qualifiers had always dominated and crushed his opponents.
This had also caused many contestants to choose to surrender the moment they saw him in the advancement contests.
Unlike the qualifiers, in the advancement contests, if you had bad luck and encountered a strong enemy, you could choose to surrender directly, take a Giant Strength Potion, and get a bye to conserve your strength until the revival match began.
Obviously, no one believed that this obscure mysterious girl possessed the strength to fight Akmon.
Except for the two people in the host’s seat, who had complicated expressions.
“Your Highness… what do we do if she refuses to leave? “
Floxi’s expression was somewhat frantic.
Her gaze was dark, her teeth clenched tightly.
Luwei could almost hear her grinding her teeth…
Luwei looked away gloomily and couldn’t help but start thinking.
How had things developed to this point?
In the original plot, Saelixiya and Lingluoxi could definitely be considered close friends.
But it was precisely this pair of cold and aloof sister flowers, who in the early game had explosive reputations, skyrocketing popularity, and fan creations that took the entire internet by storm
Yet, through a twist of fate, were torn apart by Luwei…
The angel Guanluoxi met her fated saintess, Saelixiya.
The former was constantly tormented by the antagonist Luwei, while the latter was helpless against the corruption of the Holy Church.
It was clearly a touching plot of mutual redemption.
But now… the obsessive saintess had set her sights on Luwei’s angel identity…
Luwei bit her nails, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
Actually, she also knew that the original plot in the game had long since gone completely off the rails.
She didn’t even expect it to recover.
Should she… make some token effort to fix things?
But the next second, as if sensing the thought in Luwei’s heart,
Floxi’s somewhat probing gaze fell on her.
“Your Highness… are you thinking about something bad? “
Luwei clearly heard the threat in that sentence.
A chill ran down her spine.
No way.
Absolutely did not want to be dragged into that Time Stagnation Realm by Floxi again…
That feeling of being completely seen through from head to toe, unable to hide any secrets within your heart—experiencing it once was more than enough!
So she lowered her tone and carefully explained, “I was just thinking that perhaps your relationship could be eased. If it’s just to the extent of establishing cooperation with the Church…”
“Impossible!” Floxi said without hesitation.
“Alright…”
Luwei nodded weakly.
But the next second, she suddenly realized—
She didn’t seem to have much dignity left.
The number of times her dignity had been trampled on.
Gradually, her face fell…
Too many to count!
Floxi had already laid her cards on the table.
She didn’t even want to play the ‘playing house’ of ‘bad woman bullies beautiful girl’ with her.
In the Time Stagnation Realm, she had even blackmailed her!
Saying things like, when she encountered difficulties, she must rely on her first…
Luwei felt a chill in her heart.
Wasn’t this stripping away her last shred of independence?
But just as she was counting her threadbare
Still looked like she didn’t want to bother with her.
“If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry, you know~”
Floxi’s voice carried a threatening tone.
Unable to guess the other’s thoughts, she had wanted to scare Luwei with this sentence.
But…
Visibly, tears welled up in the silver-haired girl’s eyes.
“Go ahead and get angry then!”
Saying that, as if feeling her own words lacked threat, she even bared her teeth at Floxi.
This was the first time, when she used force to “threaten” His Highness, that she hadn’t obediently complied.
“Anyway, do whatever you want…”
It wasn’t until the second dissatisfied complaint came that Floxi finally realized the crux of the problem.
Had she overdone it?
Had she hurt His Highness’s pride?
Floxi thought for a moment.
Indeed, she had repeatedly contradicted His Highness’s decisions and used such a strong, non-negotiable tone…
Under the guise of protecting His Highness, she had also forcefully uncovered all of her secrets…
Was this really providing a sense of security for His Highness?
“S-Sorry… Your Highness…”
Seeing Floxi looking like this, Luwei was actually a bit curious.
“Wh-What are you doing all of a sudden? I think… I was the one who made you unhappy.”
“This is my dereliction of duty as a maid! “
“P-Please punish me…”
“Huh?”
What was up with this girl all of a sudden? ?
As if afraid her apology wasn’t sincere enough,
Floxi even squeezed her eyes shut tightly, forcing out a few tears.
Sister flower…
Wait, what was this long-lost, familiar feeling?
Seeing Floxi like this…
Luwei’s eyes lit up slightly.
But then she reconsidered: if she was coaxed this easily, wouldn’t it make her look too cheap?
And besides…
This was obviously Floxi playing along with the ‘bad woman bullies beautiful girl’ game!
So Luwei pouted, turned her head away, and didn’t plan to pay any attention to the fawning Floxi.
But the next second,
Her hand was gently lifted…
And placed on Floxi’s cheek.
The golden-haired girl closed her eyes as if in fear, her lashes slightly trembling.
Feeling the warm, jade-like touch in her palm,
And looking at the slightly flustered expression of the girl before her—
Luwei seemed to have regained a tiny bit of her old feeling of bullying her.
That long-dead desire to inflict violence, belonging to the antagonist Luwei, seemed to be stirring again…
So, she tried to give a squeeze—
“Oh dear,” Floxi’s cooperative cry of pain came.
No resistance…?
Luwei blinked, quickly getting into character.
“Hmph, you arrogant maid! “
She reached out with both hands, grabbed Floxi by the cheeks, and then pulled them in opposite directions.
“Uuuh, it hurts…”
Until tears sparkled in Floxi’s eyes and she begged for mercy repeatedly, she still didn’t let go…
“This beautiful miss, as my opponent, having your attention so scattered can be dangerous.”
On the arena, even though the referee had already given the command, this contestant named Liya was still staring blankly at the audience stands.
And the person opposite was looking towards the audience, scanning around, as if searching for someone.
In short, the gaze under the veil was directed at an unknown person.
Anyway, Akmon had no intention of launching a sneak attack.
Instead, he bowed quite gentlemanly.
“Miss, maintaining eye contact with your opponent is the most basic sign of respect.”
“You should perhaps be grateful that you encountered someone like me…”
But before Akmon could finish his sentence,
he realized that this young lady named Liya had suddenly turned her head.
And the look under her veil seemed to contain a bit more… impatience?
Akmon understood that this Liya clearly had something on her mind, and he was just the object of her misplaced anger.
Damn it, he had acted so gentlemanly, yet the other party was being so rude.
A faint irritation rose in Akmon’s heart.
He was about to say something—
But the other party’s figure had vanished in an instant.
The next moment, A fist the size of a sandbag grew larger and larger in Akmon’s field of vision…
