"There is indeed one thing I lied to you about... on the night we embraced, I told you, 'I have no regrets dying at the hands of a loli.' That statement was a lie."
As Wang Xiaole spoke these words, the controlled Bai Tiren's dagger stabbed forward, aiming directly at his heart.
"Even if I like lolis very much, I wouldn't go insane to the point of disregarding my own life..."
"That night, the reason I didn't resist was simply because it was you who was preparing to kill me. Only you have the right to kill me, only you can make me willingly accept death!"
Hmph!
The dagger plunged deep into flesh, causing blood to flow, but just as it was about to strike the heart, it hesitated.
Reason had not yet returned to Bai's mind, her movement to stab with the dagger remained unchanged;
Bai was still under control, her body still acting on the instinct of a killing machine;
However, behind those vacant eyes, there was a hint of emotions stirring, a trace of feelings quietly spreading.
Who took her weapon away but instead of harming her, expressed willingness to cooperate in the assassination operation?
Who, when she targeted his life, not only did not retaliate, but instead, in the early hours of the morning before she woke up, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast?
And who, when breaking through from the hotel, ran ahead to shield her with his body, even now, at this moment, still couldn’t bear to harm her?
Tick tock.
It was the sound of tears falling, a few glistening drops quietly streaming down from those eyes that were not dim.
Even though the two couldn't see it, outside, a ray of sunlight had broken through the thick clouds in the sky;
The sun was slowly stretching its arms out from deep within the dark clouds, instantly brightening the gloomy sky a bit.
Seeing that Bai didn’t continue her actions, the guild leader felt very dissatisfied and immediately prepared to give orders.
Just as the guild leader was preparing to act, the veiled maiden also made a decision in her heart:
Use divine power!
The maiden was not incapable of using divine power, nor was she unable to, but it was not advisable.
As a member of the modern deities (distinct from ancient gods), she did not have the qualification to directly interfere in earthly matters with the power of her god.
Basically, all members of the modern deities were not allowed to do anything unless they had to intervene to maintain order when someone attacked the Pope's territory.
Of course, if any god dared to violate this taboo, they would be punished;
The type of punishment could be varied.
Demotion, divine condemnation, stripping of godly status – any of these were possible, with judgment based on the severity of the offense.
The maiden was well aware of the terrifying aspect of punishment, but as she gathered her divine power to form the bowstring of light, she was ready to face all consequences!
"Elder, for you, I am willing to face divine condemnation without hesitation..."
The maiden spoke a title unheard by anyone, choosing to follow her innermost feelings at that moment, raising the longbow while nocking an arrow of light on the string.
Her action of raising the bow was seen by the guild leader.
The guild leader wasn't worried because since staying in the background to watch the play, she had always been careful to ensure her own safety.
As she didn't need to engage in combat, she concentrated all her remaining holy power outside her body, especially outside her heart.
Of course, even this might not be safe.
After completing the preparations mentioned above, the guild leader made the adventurers who had originally surrounded the girl gather around him without exception. Layer upon layer of iron shields and magic shields stood erect, becoming the best protection for the guild leader. Such a sturdy defense, not to mention blocking an arrow, would absolutely have more than enough strength to withstand a meteor falling from the sky. This was what the adventurers thought, and the guild leader also believed so, until that one arrow, accompanied by white light and a long tail, came flying. 'Silver Blade, I command you to kill him!' The order echoed, and in the next second, a huge roar enveloped the area where the guild leader was standing, dazzling white light filled that entire region...
