At night, the banquet of the Othrie Empire began. There were countless reporters outside the palace, but according to the law, it was prohibited to enter the high-altitude and vertical areas of the palace. However, the reporters were not to be underestimated. They would use all sorts of strange tactics to get the latest headlines. The palace guards also put in a lot of effort to fend off these reporters. Every time the empire prepared for a banquet, the tension would rise.

I stood outside on the balcony, and behind me, the banquet gradually began. I didn't pay much attention to the process, as it wasn't my stage, not Qin Yang's arena.

Below, a wide avenue extended all the way to the Eastern Gate of the palace, about five hundred meters away. The crowd was densely packed there, all trying to secure a position to get photos of the people attending the banquet. The most important thing was to capture a photo of either Hisa or Allen, as this would prove that the relationship between the empire and The Divine Realm was still peaceful.

"It's quite windy here. Your injury isn't healed yet, does it not bother you?" Li Liu's dress fluttered in the wind, and she quickly realized and pressed it down.

"What's there to be afraid of?" I glanced at her, her very sexy little panties, the kind that could eat people. But forget it, let's not dwell on the topic of the Second Contract.

"Do I look good?"

"You look good, but just show it to me, put it down!" After I said that, Li Liu actually lifted up her skirt, shocking the people around us.

"Weren't you asking if I'm afraid? Why hasn't Hisa arrived yet?"

"I know you're not afraid of this, but there's no need to rush to prove it, it's embarrassing. And besides, Hisa is already at the gate, look." I pointed to the distant gate, where the flashes were almost blinding me.

"I heard that you settled things with Nofice?"

"We settled it, but Allen Brandt will definitely come back for a second time. He just needs a suitable reason, a suitable opportunity. And he has some opinions about me."

"Is it because of the President? Elena left her parents just like you and me for you. Her parents must have their opinions. If your father wasn't Uncle Qin, my father would never easily let you go."

"Ah, why does everyone treat me like a trafficker? Ten years ago, I was so young. I almost don't remember what I did. No, it's like I really don't remember, but then again, maybe I do."

"Qin Yang, I've always wanted to ask, are you on the side of good or evil now?"

"Hmm? What do you think?"

"I can't tell. Your tone is like that of the evil Qin Yang, but your temperament is like the good Qin Yang. Even your hair color..."

"Hair color?" I touched my hair. It had just been styled by a hairdresser, and I didn't want to mess it up. I rolled my eyes and almost got dizzy.

"Never mind, let me tell you, your hair is the same as when you separated from the Demon Dragon the last time, black and white."

Usually, hair color could be used as an identity marker, but now that my hair color was messed up, even this marker was gone. Li Liu had been looking for a long time but couldn't distinguish it.

"I..."

"What's wrong? Can't even you tell?"

Li Liu's expression of surprise was rarely seen. Her eyes moved between my eyes, as if she wanted to see something, and it seemed like she actually did see something.

"What... What's wrong?"

"Your eyes..."

"My eyes are fine." I rubbed my eyes, moved them up and down, and I could see things clearly.

"But you... you don't use Magic, do you?"

"I'm fine, why would I need to use Magic?" Li Liu's question made me feel uneasy. I looked around and saw my reflection in the glass window, with one blue eye and one green eye, following my movements on the other side of the glass.

"Err!"

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm feeling a bit dizzy. Both the red and indigo eyes require the consumption of magic."

"Don't you have much magic left? Then, you should hide your colored eyes." Li Liu held onto me, her face filled with worry.

I pushed her aside and said, "I just need some rest." I leaned against the stone railing of the balcony.

"Qin Yang!"

"Go inside. I'll come find you in a moment, don't worry."

Li Liu took a deep breath and reluctantly said, "If you have any problems, you must let me know."

"Go inside."

I heard her footsteps as she left. I slowly sank to the ground. I hadn't experienced something like this where Magic didn't obey me. I didn't want to tell Li Liu, and I couldn't let my eyes recover.

I felt the burning of magic continuously, and my magic was running out. But my colored eyes remained. In less than five minutes, I would faint again and sleep for another three to four days.

I raised my left hand, which started to transform into a dragon form. The process of body transformation was painful, and I endured the pain as my left hand partially transformed into a dragon's claw. The power of the Dragon Soul transformed into my magic through the dragon's claw. This method was currently agonizing and had a hint of self-harm, but it was the best way to prevent myself from easily collapsing.

"Damn, who am I really..."

Ten minutes later, I noticed that the magic inside my body was gradually replenishing. If I couldn't hide my colored eyes, I could continue burning magic for another seven to eight days. What bothered me the most was why both colored eyes appeared at the same time. Was it because I couldn't distinguish myself? The rate at which the dual-colored eyes burned magic was faster than when they were single-colored.

I took out my glasses that I hadn't worn for a long time and put them back on my nose. I cast a illusion on the lenses so that when others looked at my glasses from a distance, they would see black pupils instead of my eyes, which were strangely colored.

"Qin Yang, why are you alone here?"

"Uncle Hisa, you're here."

"My brother promised that he would come."

"Your Brandt family has gained significant support in The Divine Realm recently, right?"

"Has it reached The Human Realm? The Brandt family has regained control of the council after three thousand years, which is something to celebrate."

"Was your family behind the assassination of humans?"

"Qin Yang, let's not get straight to the point like that. Can we be a little more polite? Are you still angry at me for taking Elena away and getting you beaten up last time?"

"No, I'm just curious."

"I won't say." Hisa was very serious. He couldn't easily reveal this information, even if he knew that I was right. He couldn't admit it.

"We don't have any evidence of the assassination, and there's no need for you to be nervous. Otherwise, the High Priest would have used this incident to negotiate with you. And what about the spy from The Divine Realm, that fat guy? How did you deal with him?"

"Which one?"

"The one who used to work for the 'Helouse' system."

"Oh~~~ him. He didn't return to The Divine Realm."

"I have a headache." I leaned on the railing, holding my forehead.

"What's wrong, kid? Haven't you rested enough in a week?"

I rubbed my temples and said, "It's nothing, thanks for your concern."

"Why weren't you so easy to talk to that day?"

"I was angry, everyone gets angry."

I looked up at the sky, thinking about Elena entering the spatial rift that day. I always felt that besides the five people including Tony, there were others helping Elena behind the scenes.
