Chapter 134: The Battle of Listen-Wind City

This could hardly be called a reunion after a long parting. From the moment they separated to the time they met again, less than a day had passed, yet Zhao Nan felt as though it had been longer than three lifetimes. Finina, unaware of the cause and effect, only felt that Zhao Nan was somewhat more passionate at this moment, which stirred her heart. The two embraced for a short while like this.

Looking at Finina's appearance, Zhao Nan immediately understood that she knew nothing about everything that had happened... Her raven-haired self was naturally a different identity. The strange level-up that erupted within the Dust-Exceeding Palace, along with the Countess of Roses—the inner story behind all this was well worth deep investigation.

"By the way, what happened today?"

Zhao Nan's excitement naturally could not dispel the doubts in Finina's heart, and a moment later she asked directly.

The two were intimately familiar with each other, and Zhao Nan knew in his heart that if he casually fabricated a set of lies, they would naturally be seen through. With no other choice, he skirted around the important issues and said, "I was also somewhat confused. When we were in the Dust-Exceeding Palace, a strange woman suddenly rushed out. Afterward, you passed out, and that person carried you away."

Zhao Nan sighed apologetically and said, "I was no match for her. Fortunately, the temple has an item capable of summoning you back."

Finina was stunned and instinctively said, "No wonder when I woke up, I ran into that strange woman."

Zhao Nan asked nervously, "Did she do anything to you?"

Finina shook her head and said, "I had just woken up, and then with a flash of golden light, I came back."

So that was how it was...

Zhao Nan let out a quiet breath inwardly. It seemed that the Finina he was familiar with and the Countess of Roses had not yet had time to converse. However, exactly when Finina's completely different personality switched over remained unknown.

Finina suddenly said, "But I always had the feeling that person didn't seem to harbor any malice toward me... Perhaps she mistook me for someone else?"

Zhao Nan feigned casualness and said, "Who knows... Oh, right, on the way back, I found Ye Anya."

A piece of joyful news instantly diluted the unpleasant event that had just occurred, and Finina said in pleasant surprise, "Really?"

"Right outside the door." Zhao Nan nodded.

...

The two pushed open the door side by side, and outside, Ye Anya was seen sitting on the steps. She looked at the orange-red twilight sky, with the moon in the east, a semi-circular setting sun in the west, and a patch of deep blue in the middle dotted with twinkling stars.

Sensing someone behind her, Ye Anya turned around to look. The expression on her face was no longer cold and aloof, but instead carried a hint of bizarre playfulness. She tilted her head to look them over for a moment, then took out a pen and began to write.

"How magical!"

"What is she saying?" Finina asked, not understanding the situation.

Zhao Nan smiled and said, "This child seems to really like you."

"That's good."

Finina smiled happily, walked forward, and lowered her head to look at Ye Anya's delicate, smiling face, wearing a smile of her own. Zhao Nan blinked at Ye Anya, and the little loli nodded with a look of half-understanding, returning to her dull and expressionless demeanor.

Taking the opportunity, Zhao Nan said, "Alright, we've been busy all day. Let's go back and get a good rest."

This suggestion was naturally an excellent one. Finina also intended to change the little loli into a brand-new set of clothes, fearing that her slightly sloppy attire might cause misunderstandings among others.

The Countess of Roses was probably extremely angry by now, and Zhao Nan estimated that she would definitely come again. However, since they were inside the safe zone, he was not afraid of her. This Countess of Roses likely carried some special storyline on her; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to roam around freely across the map.

Even if she managed to enter the city, as the Lord of Listening Wind City who possessed
