Chapter 1285: Secret Transaction
Chapter 1285: Secret Transaction
Lilibet had no idea that there was a young man nearby who had admired her and saw her as his dream lover.
Maybe, even if she knew, it wouldn't change anything.
Yun Xi and she were people who lived in two different worlds. Lilibet didn't even think about whether there was a special conscious entity among those wandering souls.
Her mission was to protect the Sky Tower and eliminate all enemies who invaded it.
Even if the Sky Sword, possessing special authority in the Sky Tower, committed a major crime, they had to be hunted down, even if they escaped to the farthest end of Endless God's Domain.
So, from beginning to end, Lilibet never saw Yun Xi's gaze.
But Lilibet didn't see it, while others did!
Especially the one who put all her heart and soul into the faceless god, imagining him as her beloved Great Witch.
Senior! Senior! Senior!
If gazes could speak, Flora has already shouted countless times.
She saw it all, ever since Lilibet appeared at the Red Heart Queen's Masquerade, Senior's eyes never left her.
Although still expressionless as usual, she could clearly feel that Senior's gaze was different than before.
Unlike the little Golden Crow Princess who acted spoiled towards Senior, Senior's gaze towards Lilibet was that of an adult, a gaze that seemed to be immersed in it.
She didn't understand this gaze before, but now she could empathize.
Because she looked at her senior, she saw the reflection of her own expression in her senior's eyes, just like that.
Feeling excited.
Feeling joyful.
Feeling admiration.
The first taste of love.
The first understanding of what "romance" is.
Learned from her senior's lessons on love, what it means to like someone, and what kind of relationship will make oneself happy.
So many first experiences, deeply imprinted in her heart, unforgettable.
Why did her senior look at Lilibet with such eyes? Lilibet is a well-known legendary figure in the rank of ancient artifacts, said to have been active on the battlefield during the Twilight War of the Gods as a divine sword wielder.
Huh, is the senior also an ancient deity from that era or an even earlier one? Could it be that they knew Lilibet a long time ago?
Yes, that would explain why the ancient Sky Sword, who is so uninteresting and never leaves home, made the senior show a nostalgic expression.
They must have been old friends since the time of the Twilight War of the Gods!
No, perhaps even more than friends!
Flora felt increasingly sad, and had a very bad feeling. This feeling grew stronger as Yun Xi stared at Lilibet for a longer time.
No, we can't go on like this!
We need to come up with a plan. It seems the senior hasn't realized yet that they haven't seen Lilibet in a long time.
At times like this, the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"Shaya Longnis... do you need any help?" Flora whispered to the Slime Sky Sword, who had a bit of a headache.
"Flora? Do you have any solutions? I'm so annoyed being chased by this person. They just stole some hair from her and some materials from the warehouse, but is it really necessary to chase me all the way here?" Shaya Longnis glanced at Flora with surprise in her eyes.
She had never traded with the Dusk Witch before, but this Great Witch who could travel through dimensions was a well-known smuggler in the entire Endless God's Domain.
There was nothing she dared not smuggle, whether it be gods or nameless creatures, from heaven to the depths of the abyss, they were all her trading partners.
And the goods she chose were all prohibited items that could hardly be sold through regular channels, the black market items that couldn't even make it onto the star bridge.
It seemed that for some goal, this Dusk Witch was always active in various factions, maintaining a principle of chaotic neutrality and having her own exclusive smuggling routes.
"It would attract the pursuit of Lilibet. Those things must be important to her."
"I don't understand either. I can't figure out which materials might have broken her taboos. If it was just about the hair, it shouldn't warrant being hunted down like this." Shaya Longnis couldn't make sense of the reason why she was being chased.
Even though those materials were slightly beyond her authority, as the Sky Sword, she could still obtain them with some time and effort. She had the high privilege to freely enter the Sky Tower.
Could it be the hair?
Shaya Longnis looked at the sky-blue tuft on Lilibet's forehead. If it weren't for Lilibet chasing after her, she wouldn't have known that the unique feather accessory she had stolen was actually Lilibet's hair.
Why did you weave your hair into the shape of feathers? What a strange quirk!
"I can help you transport those forbidden items, and I can also take you away. The cost is these..." Flora gave a number that seemed quite favorable to Shaya Longnis.
With this price, smuggling ordinary forbidden items would be considered an astronomically high figure. Buying a small god's domain would not be a problem.
But now they had to smuggle these things from under the Guardian of the Sky Tower's nose and also take Shaya Longnis, who was being chased. So this price was too cheap, cheap enough for Shaya Longnis to think that Flora had missed a digit.
The legendary Dusk Witch smuggling route was known for its high fees, being the top choice in the Endless God's Domain black market. When did it become so generous?
"You really only want these?" Shaya Longnis was a little skeptical.
"Yes, just these, but you have to do one thing." Flora was bleeding heavily this time. Normally, the fee for such a dangerous smuggling would have an extra zero, but this time she was definitely breaking her own business principles.
It was because she had something she wanted Shaya Longnis to do, a task that only she could accomplish.
"First, you have to do it like this... and then... show... like that... no matter what, you must..."
"Okay, this is easy, leave it to me." Shaya Longnis straightened her chest and then felt a little frustrated as she realized her bust had shrunk by one size.
Oh, I forgot. She separated this part a little, and now that little one that split off can't be found, and I don't know whose body it's on now.
"Lilibet, don't get too full of yourself." After discussing the deal with Flora and securing their escape route, Shaya Longnis regained her confidence.
The frustration of being chased by Lilibet and dying over forty times vanished, as she now stood in an invincible position.
Having formed an alliance with Flora, Shaya Longnis no longer had to fear being pursued by Lilibet.
