Aiweila’s tears fell onto Luo Xiaosu’s face.
Within the scalding tears were grievance, fear, and a deep love that Luo Xiaosu only now understood.
At this moment, all struggle and resistance lost their meaning.
Luo Xiaosu closed her eyes and clumsily responded to the kiss.
Just as their lips intertwined, the System’s long-unheard, emotionless electronic voice suddenly sounded in Luo Xiaosu’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Main Quest completed. Quest evaluation: mutual feelings confirmed.]
[Quest Reward: Medicine to alleviate Fluorescent Disease, plus one chance for Magic Sacrifice, allowing all of your Magic Power to be permanently transferred to a designated target.]
Luo Xiaosu understood at once.
So that was it.
The so-called destined person was never a one-sided recognition.
It was a contract that could only be formed when both sides acknowledged each other’s feelings.
She had accepted Aiweila, and she had also accepted this late-arriving yet incomparably sincere feeling.
However, before Luo Xiaosu could carefully savor this complicated emotion, outside the High Tower, a violent magic power fluctuation suddenly came, along with the sounds of fierce fighting.
Outside the High Tower, Beijina looked around at the many soldiers surrounding her, then finally looked at Nuoya, who was leading them.
She tightly clutched her bloodstained abdomen.
It was a wound from the other side’s sneak attack, and it was now throbbing faintly.
She had not expected that after staying at Luo Xiaosu’s place for a while, she would forget even the most basic vigilance.
And that teacher-betraying Aiweila.
If she had known, she would never have taught her formation magic.
To think she would use it against her teacher.
“Damn it! If you hadn’t stripped me of my magic power, how could I have been captured so easily by you?!”
Nuoya put away the Demon-Repelling Ring in her hand and looked at Beijina before her with a triumphant expression.
Just now, while Beijina was focused on defending against everyone’s attacks, she had secretly used the Demon-Repelling Ring to scatter her magic power.
“Heh heh. Now you can’t escape, can you, evil witch.”
Beijina raised one hand as if accepting her fate and smiled helplessly.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, I lost. Now you can capture me and offer me to that princess of yours.”
But Nuoya did not order anyone to step forward and restrain Beijina.
Instead, she sneered coldly:
“Do you think I only want to capture you? I really don’t understand what love potion you fed Her Highness to make her so obsessed with capturing you.”
Nuoya’s expression gradually became ferocious, and her hands clenched tightly into fists.
“I’m clearly the only one who is Her Highness’s maid. Only I should enjoy Her Highness’s reward.”
“But you, you can only die here!”
Then Nuoya waved her hand grandly and ordered those around her:
“Get her! Kill this evil witch right now!”
Beijina’s pupils contracted sharply.
She had originally thought that even if she was defeated, she would only be captured and toyed with by that yandere Emilia.
But who would have thought that this Miss Maid before her had also been turned into a yandere by Emilia?
Seeing arrows, fireballs, ice cones, and other attacks flying at her from all directions, she tightly gripped the Teleportation Scroll in her arms.
‘Sorry, Xiaosu. I might not be able to stay here and witness your love.’
“Bang!”
Just as those attacks were about to land on Beijina, countless thick vines shot up from the ground and firmly protected her inside.
Countless attacks landed on them, kicking up a large cloud of dust.
“What!”
“Aiweila!”
Nuoya and Beijina both suddenly cried out.
As the dust cleared, Aiweila was standing in front of Beijina, glaring at Nuoya with displeasure.
“You actually interrupted my intimate time with Sister. You’re done for!”
Just when Luo Xiaosu had decided to accept Aiweila and let her hands roam, she suddenly noticed that Beijina’s magic power fluctuation seemed to have disappeared.
So out of worry for her good friend, and also not wanting the two of them to be interrupted halfway, Luo Xiaosu immediately told Aiweila to go out and see what was going on.
As a result, the moment Aiweila came out, she happened to save Beijina, who was surrounded by everyone and about to die.
“You again!”
Nuoya looked at the familiar vines and immediately realized that the person before her was the girl who had stopped them from finding Beijina during the day.
“Hmph! But I really should thank you. If you hadn’t stopped Her Highness during the day, Her Highness wouldn’t have sent me alone to lead people to capture that witch, and I wouldn’t have had the chance to get rid of her.”
Nuoya waved her hand, signaling everyone to stop first.
“I can sense that you and I are the same kind of person.”
“My target is only that witch. If you step aside now, I can promise not to make a move against you or the one you fancy. How about it?”
Nuoya said confidently.
When they met during the day, she had clearly seen that when this girl looked at the witch who had suddenly appeared, the emotion in her eyes was exactly the same as her own when she looked at Her Highness.
“I believe you’ll make the right choice. Hurry up and step aside.”
“We are not the same kind of person at all. You’re just a losing dog who’s about to lose her master’s affection.”
Aiweila did not move her feet and remained standing in front of Beijina.
-Wuwu, Aiweila, well done! If I survive, I’ll definitely help you well and push your sister down!
Even at this point, Beijina still did not forget to tease.
Aiweila’s words completely struck Nuoya’s nerve.
“Since you want to die, I’ll grant your wish! Everyone, hear my order: capture both of these evil witches!”
With her shout, the surrounding sorcerers and archers immediately took up attack stances, and countless arrows, fireballs, and other attacks flew toward Aiweila.
Aiweila drove the vines, which moved like green venomous snakes, weaving agilely through the enemy ranks, entangling and knocking away soldiers one after another.
Nuoya stood in the distance, watching everything coldly.
She noticed that although Aiweila’s attacks seemed chaotic, they always stayed around the High Tower, as if she were deliberately protecting something.
“It seems there’s something she cares about in the High Tower. It must be that witch from the day.”
A cold smile curved Nuoya’s lips.
“Pass down the order: have the sorcerers concentrate their firepower and attack the High Tower itself.”
“Yes!”
At Nuoya’s command, dozens of sorcerers simultaneously chanted spells, and beams of magic shot toward the High Tower.
“Oh no!”
Beijina saw Nuoya’s movement and immediately knew what the other side wanted to do.
Luo Xiaosu was still inside the High Tower, and she was probably just like her, drained by Aiweila.
Otherwise, Aiweila wouldn’t have been the only one to come out.
How could it be such a coincidence that they attacked tonight of all nights!
Aiweila saw the trajectory of their attacks heading toward the High Tower.
She was startled and hurriedly drove the vines to intercept the attacks.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The magic slammed violently into the vines, producing a deafening noise.
Aiweila’s body trembled violently, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
The combined damage of those magic attacks far exceeded her imagination.
