Northern Continent, Venus.
In the early morning, at 6:30, Qin Qianbai was pressed on the deck. The girl who had just finished her morning exercise was dripping with sweat, and Gongsun Ce stroked her wet hair.
"You used to always look down at me from a high position, but this is what it feels like to look at people from above."
"Ace, calm down first." Qin Qianbai's cheeks were slightly red.
"I find you are extraordinarily beautiful at this time." Gongsun Ce leaned close to his face, "Just like your fighting, light, elegant, but passionate... people can't help but want to get close."
"Wait until I wipe it off..."
"You are the most beautiful like this now." Gongsun Ce lowered his head and kissed her neck, "Come, let me wipe it for you."
Gongsun Ce didn't exert any force at all. The girl thought of Fang An's service in the Cold Steel State, so she didn't try to break free and turned her gaze to the side.
"……lecher."
Noon, 13:15. Shi Yurei was leaning against the steel wall of the spaceship corridor. Gongsun Ce supported the wall with one hand and held her chin with the other, looking deeply into his eyes.
Rei Shigure had goosebumps: "What do you want to do?! Are you mentally ill?!"
"We agreed last time that I would be the head of the family, didn't we? But you didn't let me do anything." Gongsun Ce nibbled her earlobe, "Obviously you always boss me around, Ling, you are really a A woman who goes too far.”
Zero's weakness was suddenly grasped, and his eyes dodged: "You go away, I want to take a nap..."
Gongsun Ce put his arms around her waist: "I want to take a nap too. Can you tell me a bedside story?"
"You can tell stories without touching... Hey..."
Evening, 7:30. When Qiluo saw Gongsun Ce approaching, she was agitated. She used a pillow as a shield and screamed, "No!"
Gongsun Ce held a basin filled with hot water in his hand. He moved a stool and sat down beside the bed, smiling and saying: "Qiluo, you have worked hard today responsible for cooking and cleaning. Can I help you with a foot massage?" "
Qiluo held up the pillow stupidly, half-opening her mouth: "...Huh? Huh?"
"Don't you need it? It's rare that Qiluo is so cold to me."
"Ah no no no!"
Qiluo carefully put her toes into the basin, and Gongsun Ce washed them carefully. After soaking them, he massaged her soles with just the right amount of force.
"Qiluo, your feet are very beautiful. Do you want to try wearing open-toed sandals next time?"
"It's not impossible..." Qiluo was embarrassed and confused, "Speaking of which, Gongsun Ce, you are so kind to me... so gentle..."
"It seems that the idol lady likes to be a little rough?" Gongsun Ce smiled mischievously. He stretched out his fingers and gently tickled the girl's soles, eliciting a burst of laughter like silver bells.
"No, it's so itchy, stop~!"
Then, the time came two hours later...
·
The capital of the sky, Mo Yuankai's home.
"Ah, I want to die, I want to die, I want to die——"
Mo Yuankai was lying on the yoga mat and screaming at the top of his lungs. Orianna, who was helping him do relaxation exercises, was not surprised and increased the strength of her hands: "Mo, learn to relax your muscles and do leg presses for another minute."
"If I press harder, I'm going to rush to the street! Ah!"
"Hold on, sir."
Orianna pressed his broad back with one palm, forcing the hero of the sky to relax his muscles amidst the screams. She stood up and said animatedly: "Do you feel lighter?"
Mo Yuankai was lying on the mat in a large shape, looking like a beached baby blue whale. He was so angry when he spoke: "It's as light as if I'm going to heaven..."
"That's great. It seems to be very effective."
Orianna knelt down and brought the warm water cup to his mouth. Mo Yuankai took two big sips and felt like he was reborn. He wiped the sweat from his face and showed a silly smile: "Orianna, you look great in this suit."
Orianna was wearing a women's sports vest and yoga shorts today, common clothing for athletic girls that perfectly outlines her graceful body curves. The female knight blushed slightly and patted his belly: "This is to exercise with you!"
"I'm super motivated." Mo Yuankai said sincerely, "If you are willing to give me a hug, I will definitely be more motivated this afternoon."
The corners of Orianna's mouth twitched: "Sir, I can't hold your burly body right now. Let's lose ten more pounds."
"You can hold half of it..."
Mo Yuankai squirmed on the mat and did not get up. He simply continued to collapse into a piece of rotten flesh, which made Orianna frown. At this time, the crystal ball on the other side of the room lit up. Orianna quickly adjusted the angle of her telepathic weapon to prevent someone from entering her sight. Then she connected the communication: "Good evening, Knight Alandia!"
"Good afternoon, Knight Orianna..."
The situation of the Dawn Knight was not quite right today. The obvious hesitation in his tone and the complicated expression on his face particularly surprised Orianna. She asked with concern: "What happened?"
"I have something to ask your opinion about Mr. Gongsun." The Dawn Knight said in a low voice, "He did some...unspeakable things to me..."
Mo Yuankai, who was behind him, jumped up and sat up, his eyes wide with anger and full of murderous aura, as if he was preparing to execute the family law and execute his unworthy father. Orianna took a breath of air and asked seriously: "The Holy King is on top, he did it What?!”
The Dawn Knight blushed: "...he kissed me."
Mo Yuankai collapsed back with a bang, took out two earplugs from the drawer and started to pretend to be dead. Orianna hesitated awkwardly: "Well, I think... with the relationship between the two of you... there shouldn't be any problem."
"But his attitude is very tough." Alandia's eyes wandered, "I'm at a loss. He has never been so rude to me."
The usually calm and serious female knight looked like an introverted little girl at the moment, and Orianna almost laughed out loud. She suppressed her smile and said seriously: "Knight Arlandia, he is not just your follower. You will officially fall in love and get married in the future. You can't spend your whole life yelling at him."
Arlandia became even more panicked when she heard this: "This is impossible, Knight Orianna! He already has his own lover..."
"We can also say that your entourage is a hero like a holy king." Orianna teased, "Don't be stupid, Alandia. Everyone can see how much you love each other. Are you looking for There is no reason to escape."
"I didn't..." Dawn Knight stopped talking and sighed, "Change the topic, they know about the Hundred Years Crisis."
Orianna corrected her attitude: "How did they react?"
"It's quite stable. They have all grown up." Dawn Knight closed his eyes. "I feel guilty sometimes because I hide so many things from the people around me."
"Don't think too much, you are thinking about everyone." Orianna comforted, "Have a good talk with Gongsun Ce and don't make yourself sad."
"I won't." Dawn Knight smiled, "By the way, have you been in contact with His Majesty recently?"
Orianna suddenly became lively: "His Majesty often chats with me! I thought she was lonely in the royal capital, so I shared my daily life here with her. Your Majesty was very happy to hear it."
"This couldn't be better, Knight Orianna."
After a few more pleasantries, the knights ended their communication. Mo Yuankai took out his earplugs and sighed quietly.
"A century-old crisis... It feels like it's close in front of you, but it feels like it's far away, whether you know it or not, it's the same thing."
"When did you know about it, Mo?" Orianna asked casually, "I wasn't informed of this until after the world was created."
"Eight years ago or nine years ago?" Mo Yuankai scratched his head, "At that time, I had just awakened my ability and didn't know much about it. I happened to find out this information by hacking the surveillance and databases of various countries, so I also followed the investigation. Roninlus fought a battle. But at that time, I only knew that the world would be strong enough to survive 100 years later, and we only learned about the dragon species four years ago."
Orianna looked at him in shock. She leaned down and hugged her fat boyfriend.
"Miss Orianna?!" Mo Yuankai was shocked.
"Mo, don't make people feel bad like this." Orianna whispered, "Like Alandia, you always like to hide many things."
Mo Yuankai scratched his head and sighed: "It won't do anyone any good to say it, so why bother saying it again... And I don't think there is any need to be so pessimistic. Maybe there is something wrong with Fan Dingjie himself, or maybe the emperor's eyes are not clear." Okay. So what if it’s true? You have to solve the current problems first and then think about the future.”
The fiery red and black-purple steel giants flew across the blue sky outside the window, and there was another small-sized Mecha Array low down. The test of Me-Shen has been basically completed, and this time they are fully prepared.
·
Alandia put down the crystal ball and sat at the desk, feeling confused. After the teaching plan was basically completed, the extra time made her feel distressed. Tell me more about symbolism that might be used? Let’s lay the foundation of manifestation again? Or is it hinting at Tianji's arrangements and letting Ce make preparations in advance?
But Alandia couldn't calm down, she always thought of Ce's various abnormal behaviors today. It seemed that the side effects of the new seal had not completely dissipated, and the unfamiliar behavior made her subconsciously feel worried.
"Alandia, are you asleep?"
There was a gentle knock on the door. Alandia put away her notes and said slightly nervously: "No, please come in."
Gongsun Ce walked in. He must have just taken a shower, and his dry hair was still wet with moisture. Alandia stood up, and with a wicked smile on his face, he spoke first: "Good evening, Miss Knight, I'm here to fulfill my promise."
Alandia said seriously: "Ce, I was planning to tell you——"
Gongsun Ce put his hand on her shoulder and whispered: "Alandia, I will never do anything you hate. Do you hate me touching you?"
"I……"
The Dawn Knight's voice became softer, and Gongsun Ce's eyes were so sincere that she couldn't lie in front of him.
"No, Ce," she whispered, "I don't hate your touch."
Gongsun Ce put his hands firmly, gently slipped his hand around her waist, and pulled her silver hair with the other. He stared into the woman's eyes: "Do you hate my kiss? If this brings trouble to you, I will leave now."
"I..." Alandia lowered her gaze, "I..."
It took a lot of effort for the Dawn Knight to speak his mind, and it has never been harder to reveal the truth.
"...I don't hate your kisses."
She was mentally prepared to talk about business after it was over, but a familiar cunningness suddenly flashed in Gongsun Ce's eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up, and the pride in his smile was palpable.
The Dawn Knight reacted immediately and said angrily: "Case!"
"Hahaha, hahahahahaha! What a celebration, Alandia, we have known each other for four years, and I finally succeeded in playing a prank on you!"
Gongsun Ce laughed and fell back, hugging Alandia and lying on the bed. The joyful look on his face reminded Arlandia of the slippery-tongued boy and his clumsy pranks back then. It seemed that there was something engraved in her bones that could not be erased no matter how much she grew. She immediately felt a lot more relaxed and reminded her immediately: "Pay attention to your etiquette, sir."
"Pay attention to etiquette, Miss Knight, you are still wearing my T-shirt." Gongsun Ce said tit for tat.
"You gave this to me. Your clothes are very comfortable."
"That's right, you picked my favorite one at a glance." Gongsun Ce loosened his hands and said sincerely, "I'm here to apologize. I'm sorry, Alandia, I know you don't like this kind of toughness. The rude behavior is just to give me a wide berth."
"That's a side effect of the new seal, and I won't blame you."
Gongsun Ce raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and said in a low voice: "Don't make excuses, just do it. No matter how much I preach, please forgive me, Miss Knight, please."
Alandia looked at the young man's behavior and felt very funny for a moment. The trivial grudge between the two disappeared immediately, and Alandia gently tapped his forehead.
"I decided to deceive everyone first. I should be blamed, so there is no forgiveness for this matter. But Mr. Gongsun, you should apologize for another thing."
"Ah?" Gongsun Ce paused for a moment before reacting, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a stupid woman... you know I'm on top!"
"I have told you many times to express anger in a decent way." Alandia said with a straight face.
Gongsun Ce rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so drunk that I can't be polite, and I've wanted to say this since four years ago. You can be really annoying sometimes, you know."
"I know."
Alandia lay on top of him and did not move. Gongsun Ce hugged her again, turned around and let her lie aside. He looked face to face with the female knight's eyes and slowly combed her soft silver hair.
"But we don't blame you. You are just a good person who is not good at expressing. You see, the eldest lady Ling Qiluo and the others have gradually become less defensive not long after they have known you, because they know that you are trustworthy." Gongsun Ce said softly. Said, "Don't pay attention to my stupid words before. If you need to hide information, keep it secret. Don't let it hinder your plan. I'll wait for the day when the truth comes out and I will praise you for your clever plan."
"Thank you, Ce." Dawn Knight smiled, "Are the side effects completely over?"
"The last time it was so violent was because of the interference of the King of Silence. This time it was independently developed by me, and it took a very short time as before."
"But this side effect seems very strange." Dawn Knight thought, "It makes you become strong, proactive, and take some actions that are very different from usual, but it does not really hurt the people around you... Angry... The elimination of powerlessness?”
"Yes, yes, you are worthy of it." Gongsun Ce sighed, "The source of anger is powerlessness and incompetence. Anger will be ignited because you can't do it and can't catch up. So this time I practiced a technique specifically to restrain 'obstacles'. After I finished cultivating this seal, I felt like I was super awesome and omnipotent, and I could rely on my momentum to do things that I usually wanted to do but wouldn’t do.”
Alandia subconsciously touched her lips: "So you always wanted to..."
"After all, we had one four years ago..." Gongsun Ce hesitated, "I didn't have the common sense to think that was a necessary 'process' before, but after learning so much, I guess inheriting the impermanence method doesn't necessarily have to... right...? "
The Dawn Knight looked away in embarrassment, and the past flashed into their minds at the same time. She was silent for a while and whispered: "Then you still plan to come...ask about me every night?"
"I have always respected you." Gongsun Ce hesitated, "I don't know if dislike and liking can be equated with you... What's your opinion?"
Alandia's eyes averted and she didn't speak. Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows and brought his face closer. This time the kiss was much more comfortable and natural. He was now experienced and she was gradually gaining experience.
"Good night."
"Good night."
Gongsun Ce walked out of the room and stretched, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment that he had regained a victory. Before going to bed, he habitually scanned the area with telekinesis and noticed any unusual movement.
Gongsun Ce crossed the bridge and came to the deck. The night sky was dotted with stars, and the cold wind from high in the sky blew the girl's clothes. On the edge of the deck, Qiluo put her hands on the railing and stared at the night view alone.
"Be careful of catching cold when you wear so little clothes outside." Gongsun Ce walked to the back and hugged her, "I have something on my mind."
Qiluo raised her foot and kicked his calf: "My boyfriend is having a sweet relationship with his old sweetheart. As a wet girl, I'm jealous."
"In that case, the cute wet lady will take the initiative to stick to me or complain to her best friends." Gongsun Ce pinched her cheek and said, "I am thinking about the century-old crisis."
"Yeah...even though I know that it is something in the future and an unbelievable prophecy, I still can't help but feel worried." Qiluo sighed, "Gongsun Ce, you know that I have the worst mentality. I'm not as powerful as you. I will think about it. In the past two days, I have been thinking, should we discuss it with Gaius again? The man said it confidently, and I feel that he is not lying. Maybe he has really restored the realm of reality. The plan...a more mature plan than the Dust Theater Troupe's past plans..."
Gongsun Cejing waited for her to finish and said with a smile: "Qiluo, try to think more deeply."
"Deeper?"
"If Gaius really has no conflict of interest with us, why would he have been our enemy all the way before? He doesn't have to care about our crew. If we don't count the End Sword, we only have two Creation forces, and There are more Creation Law Envoys in the Empire Kingdom, and the Queen and Emperor will consider the interests of more people. So why did we come to stop him? Why is the Dawn Knight still hiding many things from us?"
Qiluo swallowed the words in her throat and whispered: "Because somewhere we can't see, there is a deep-seated conflict between the two sides that cannot be compromised..."
"So the peace talks are in vain after all, and the truth should be revealed soon." Gongsun Ce hugged her and retreated, "Don't think too much, get some rest early."
Qiluo still looked at the stars reluctantly.
"I always feel so stressed... After I know more, I feel that the world is like a pair of huge black hands, holding it tightly and trying to extinguish all the hope in my heart."
·
At the same moment, Morton Kingdom.
After hearing the report from the spy leader, Queen Gray waved her hand to retreat. Fam's detection proved that Gongsun Ce had no doubts about her, so it seems that the Dawn Knight's thinking may still be at the stage of suspicion... Maybe she even hid it from her own followers? To ensure that the sword holder’s practice goes smoothly?
She enjoyed the sense of security brought by suspicion and thought about the most precious information obtained during this operation. Fam's shot was not blocked, which showed that Hong Yiqing was not planning to take sides yet. This gives a lot more room for manipulation, and the old man hopes to see the results of the experiment...
Gray knew it was time to make a bet, and she brought up the last insurance policy she had prepared for herself in her mind.
"Please come to see me, Shadow Hunter Knight Gaffrey."
The spy leader possessed him and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Fifteen minutes later, Gaffrey walked into the palace, feeling confused and nervous in his heart. The atmosphere in the royal capital has been unusual recently. Perhaps Queen Gray has discovered his private communication with the Resurrection Mage. But the old knight did not reflect the confusion in his heart. He greeted the queen politely as usual, with an unmistakable slickness in his nagging words.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Knight Gavry. I have something to consult your wisdom on."
Queen Gray smiled, and Gaffrey looked very surprised: "I would like to give you a suggestion to your majesty! This is really worth recording in my career. I wonder what you want to consult?"
"It's a matter of security. You know that I plan to visit Hezhong in the near future to cooperate with the Dawn Knight's actions in the Northern Continent. But after all, I have only broken through the Creation Realm not long ago, and I don't have enough combat experience. I am afraid that I will make the same mistake as my father alone. ’s mistakes.”
Gaffrey said seriously: "All your knights will use their lives as your shields."
Gray smiled: "Which knight do you think is suitable to be my guard?"
"Please allow me to introduce myself shamelessly. I was once a hunter. Not only am I rich in experience, but I have also seen many methods that my colleagues don't understand."
"I believe in your ability, dear knight." Gray nodded, "But I am still a little worried. After all, there are many powerful people in the Northern Continent, and we always need to be more vigilant in other people's home fields. We should still do more protection... Why don't you just ask How about the four Star Knights coming with me?"
There was a girlish and innocent smile on the queen's face, and Gaffrey's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. Four hostages. The four hostages that the Dawn Knights care about most.
He wanted to find excuses and ways to evade, but Queen Gray's gaze was condescending, and he knew he could only make one reply.
The knight smiled and bowed, and said loudly: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Meteor City, underground space.
The big script was about to be completed, and the man in the top hat and white clothes let out a hearty laugh. He casually grabbed a small notebook beside him and wrote a few words.
[...After learning about the existence of the Hundred Years' Crisis, everyone on the Venus Vessel felt unprecedented pressure. Among them, the one who was most affected was the "information life form" Qiluo, who had neither martial arts practice nor the realm of impermanence. She is ready to regulate stress in life and rely on love and hobbies to relieve her emotions, but the story that gradually enters the middle will not give her so much free time...]
Situ Yi took out a strange palm from his sleeve. This palm is woven with rough silk threads, which is the power left behind by the Void Light Dragon after its death. He held the pen with the Void Light Claw and wrote: [The Morning Star will arrive in the State of Solid Sound in two days, where the Happy Demon and the Arrogant Demon will be waiting for a long time. The "information life form" will be surprised to find that it is a stage specially designed for her, a paradise of music and art. 】
At this moment, the invisible cause and effect was disordered, and the threads of fate all over the northern continent were woven into a fixed result. Situ Yi put down the pen, put away the dragon claw, and raised his hand. Gray silk threads pulled a puppet out of the darkness. It was a burly human figure wearing a raincoat, and his eyes were lifeless under a hockey mask.
"To defeat the enemy, you must attack the weak point, go to the real sound to help the two demons!"
The terrifying demon who was supposed to be dead turned around silently and turned into a ball of rain and dispersed.
