Chapter 975: Chapter 479: A Future Wager with Star Bell, No Longer a Puppet Girl (4K)_2

Luo Xi looked speechless and tilted his head back, wanting to lie down.

years had passed, enough for many changes to occur.

After his ’death’, Florecia and Mu Yu’s whereabouts were unknown. They might have been captured by their families and forced into marriage by now.

The pink-haired Lolita also sighed, "I’d like to go and see how Big Silly is doing too, but there’s no way. Besides, this is already the closer distance. You should know that the Void is infinitely vast. Since there’s no anchor point for us over there, it’s impossible to traverse."

"We’ll just have to wait patiently."

"Anyway, if nothing happened after eight thousand years, it’s not going to be destroyed so quickly now."

...

The Dream World.

Tirsiu Calendar, Year 3115, August.

In the wilderness near the coastal area of the Tianguang Empire, two women, covered in dust, were traveling quickly one after the other on the roads between cities.

These two were none other than Florecia and Mu Yu.

Florecia was still petite, her height incongruous with her proudly white bosoms, and Mu Yu still dressed as a maid.

A year had passed since Luo Xi was killed by the Shadow Guard. Since leaving the Dark Night Country and coming to Tianguang, they had been traveling from city to city, staying in each place for a few days.

Although the girl had said that Little Luo Xi was actually over twenty, she didn’t care about so-called age. That child was one of the most important people in her life.

The days of traveling with someone’s company were truly wonderful.

Florecia had made up her mind; no matter whether what the woman claiming to be Little Luo Xi’s ’lover’ was true or not, she intended to keep traveling across this continent.

Even if it meant paying a tremendous price.

Florecia looked down at her stomach and gently lifted her clothing.

There was a ghastly scar on her snowy abdomen that disrupted the beauty of her skin, a wound from last month when she was ambushed by an Origin Beast in the wilderness, nearly gutted on the spot and killed.

Her strength had reached the pinnacle of Third-tier Sublimation.

But compared to the High-tier Origin Beasts common in the wilderness, her strength was still far from enough, and the hunters who stalked them in the shadows like wolves were adversaries she couldn’t resist.

Not to mention grandpa and brother... No, they were no longer her family.

The thought of those two who should have been her closest ’relatives’ made Florecia feel so upset she could hardly breathe.

Mu Yu whispered by her side, "My lady, the Tianguang Empire near the coast seems to be building ships everywhere. Should we consider going out to sea?"

"Hmm, we could take a look," Florecia replied.

She had seen those ships, all of which were built using the main trunk of the Divine Tree, ensuring sufficient safety and stability at sea.

Like the Dark Night Country, Tianguang seemed to have gone mad as well, dismantling a hundred trees and building numerous ships within a year, and it was unclear what for.

A year after the Dark Night Country’s cities united, it was said that a bunch of nobles had rebelled, but were all suppressed by the iron-fisted methods of the new Pope, undertaking a major internal power purge.

The Dark Night Country was no longer the paradise of those old lechers, and had truly become a ’death ground’ from which one could only enter and not leave.

Is she the Pope of the Dark Night Country?" Florecia recalled the black-haired girl who had casually rescued them and killed the Shadow Guard.

Little Luo Xi actually knew her.

What had his past encompassed?

Why had he fallen from the sky?

I shouldn’t think any further...

She missed that child.

"Let’s go. It’s time to go out to sea," Florecia said.

The two headed towards a medium-sized coastal city in Tianguang.

However, before they neared the city gate, something unexpected happened.

An old man suddenly appeared outside the city gate, his expression neither joyful nor sad, just staring straight at Florecia and Mu Yu as they approached.

The moment Florecia saw him, she felt as if plunged into an ice pit.

"Grand... Grandfather."

"Lord Duke..." Mu Yu also trembled slightly as she spoke softly.

Florecia’s parents had died when she was very young in a campaign against an Archbishop of the Disaster Church. Hence, the old Duke inherited the dukedom, raising Florecia and her brother personally.

For both the lady and herself, just seeing the old Duke made them feel as if they could no longer move.

It was a fear etched deep into their souls for someone of such high status and power.

Ressia, and you too, Mu Yu, you’ve both disappointed me," the old Duke said coldly as he focused on the two women. "Since Eric couldn’t bring you back, it seems like his chances of survival are slim, isn’t it? Well, if such a simple task is beyond that waste, then let him be dead. As for you, you’ve played around for four years now. It’s time to stop. Now follow me back."

Florecia bit her lip and said, "I don’t want to."

If she went back now, she would never come out again, only imprisoned in a room like a caged bird that couldn’t fly.

"You don’t have the privilege to disagree," the old Duke scoffed. "From childhood to now, everything you wanted, no matter what, was given to you by the family without asking for anything in return. Now is the time for you to contribute to your brother and family. Are you trying to evade your responsibilities?"

"If your parents were still alive, they would be ashamed of you!"
