Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

The legendary Takamagahara.

The mysterious realm of alchemy.

Falling.

Upon hearing Ye Jingchen's voice, Chen Motong reached out and hugged Ye Jingchen tightly.

Ye Jingchen raised his hand and drew the Nameless Sword from its black satin scabbard on his back, then plunged it into the stone wall.

The sword blade sliced ​​through the millennia-old, yellowish-brown stone wall, sparking brilliant fireworks.

The two of them hung there on the rock face, with the scorching heat from the lava below constantly rising up, making it hard to open their eyes.

Within moments, Chen Motong was covered in a light sweat. She glanced at Ye Jingchen and said, "Don't you know how to fly on a sword? Fly quickly!"

Ye Jingchen remained silent. He had been exhausted from killing the black snake in the sea and could barely hold the hilt of the nameless sword with one hand.

Sweat beaded on Ye Jingchen's forehead slid down to his chin and dripped onto Chen Motong's brow.

Seeing Ye Jingchen's determined expression, Chen Motong seemed to understand something and chuckled, "How annoying, I don't want to owe you anything."

She released her arms from Ye Jingchen's body and fell down, her long red hair unable to hide her helpless smile.

Ye Jingchen recalled that when he was unconscious in the seawater, the figure that grabbed his arm was clearly Chen Motong.

He pulled the nameless creature from the stone wall and tried to activate "Word of Power: Sword Control," but the domain had only expanded to less than three meters!

With a loud bang, it appeared in Ye Jingchen's mind! It sounded like the activation of a pulse point, or the start-up of a nuclear fusion boiler.

Ye Jingchen's consciousness connected with the ruins, and he instantly gained a clear understanding of every mechanism within them. The Nibelungen were alive, not inanimate objects.

This is an alchemical realm that every alchemist dreams of!

These stone walls are composed of countless stone pillars, connected by a movable mortise and tenon structure.

Ye Jingchen manipulated the seven stone pillars below Chen Motong, which extended from the wall to form a temporary scaffold.

Chen Motong fell onto the stone pillars, looking at the brownish-yellow pillars beneath him with some confusion.

Ye Jingchen landed at this moment. He looked at the stone wall, pointed at it, and manipulated it with his mind. A row of stone pillars appeared at a 45-degree angle on the stone wall, forming a stone staircase.

"Are you really not a dragon?" Chen Motong looked at Ye Jingchen's golden-ringed, crimson pupils as she prepared to stand up.

He had only gotten halfway up when he plopped back down on the ground.

"Twisted your ankle?" Ye Jingchen looked down at Chen Motong's feet, then bent down and held out his right hand. "Which ankle?"

Chen Motong stretched her right foot forward a little, her foot, encased in black diving stockings, drooping limply, as if it had lost its vitality.

Ye Jingchen held Chen Motong's ankle with his left hand and grabbed her foot with his right hand, gently pulling and then pushing.

With a "crack," the ankle joint made a crisp bone-cracking sound.

Chen Motong, who was already somewhat nervous, suddenly let out a soft moan, "Mmm~"

"Try moving your foot." Ye Jingchen released Chen Motong's foot with his right hand and looked up at Chen Motong.

Chen Motong nodded, gently twisted her foot, and tried to wiggle her big toe. "Much better than before."

Ye Jingchen reached out and helped Chen Motong up. "Try to see if you can walk."

Chen Motong nodded slightly. Her right leg was bent, and her toes tried to touch the ground lightly with a little force.

He then winced in pain.

Seeing her brows furrow slightly, Ye Jingchen turned his back to Chen Motong and bent down slightly, "Come up."

"Thanks." Chen Motong didn't refuse and leaned over, placing her hands on Ye Jingchen's neck and her right hand on his left wrist.

Ye Jingchen grabbed Chen Motong's thigh, bounced up forcefully, adjusted his position, and stepped onto the stone steps.

Chen Motong felt as if the two balls were being squeezed downwards, which was very uncomfortable. She grabbed Ye Jingchen's shoulders with both hands, twisted her slender waist, leaned back slightly, adjusted her position, and then pressed herself against him again.

Ye Jingchen didn't speak, but just looked down at the stone steps beneath his feet and continued to move forward.

Chen Motong felt a little awkward at first, but seeing that Ye Jingchen didn't say anything, she got used to it. She put her red lips to Ye Jingchen's ear and asked, "You can control these mechanisms?"

"When I saved you just now, I activated my Word of Power and it resonated with the alchemical mechanism in this ruin."

Chen Motong nodded. "Why did you save me? Wouldn't you be better off alone?"

"Consider it repaying the favor you did for saving me at sea. I don't like owing people anything."

Silence fell again.

The hot air from the lava below kept rising, and the two of them were drenched in sweat from the scorching heat. Moreover, the diving suits were not breathable, and the sweat accumulated inside them.

They could both hear each other breathing.

Ye Jingchen could clearly feel Chen Motong's heartbeat.

"Help me wipe the sweat from my eyes, it's going to get in them."

"Oh, okay." Chen Motong reached out and touched Ye Jingchen's right eyebrow, gently stroking it with her index finger.

"It's not the right side, it's the left side."

"Oh, sorry." Chen Motong quickly wiped the sweat from under Ye Jingchen's left eyebrow with her other hand.

Silence fell again.

"Can we chat? We haven't really had a proper conversation before, have we?" Chen Motong felt bored, and she poked Ye Jingchen's right shoulder with her chin. "If you don't want to, then forget it."

Ye Jingchen took a breath. He didn't know how much longer he would have to lie on the ground before he could walk out of the tunnel. "What do you want to talk about?"

"What year did you graduate from Kassel?"

"Top Secret"

"So, what happened when you first awakened the power of words?"

"Killed several mixed-race individuals."

"Forehead……"

"Have you ever carried Erii like this on your back?"

"No, I just hug her directly."

"Are those two Japanese women from the Snake-Headed Eight Clans also related to you?"

"Yes, it's the kind of relationship you're thinking of."

Aren't you going to explain?

"There's nothing to explain."

Don't you think you're being a scumbag by doing this?

"I don't think so. I'm doing things to save Japan, or even the world, but I haven't seen many people praise me. On the contrary, one person asked me if I'm a scumbag."

Don't you think you're using a fallacy of equivocation?

"If you say so, then so be it. Move your head a little to the left, your hair is making my ear itchy."

"Okay. Let me gossip a bit: with so many women, can you handle it?"

"I was born with superhuman strength."

"You're awesome!" Chen Motong raised her right hand and gave Ye Jingchen a thumbs up.

“Hey, actually I don’t dislike you as a person,” Chen Motong said, resting her head on Ye Jingchen’s right shoulder. “I just don’t like your arrogant attitude, how you look down on everyone and boss them around.”

"Oh."

"What do you mean by 'oh'?" Chen Motong pinched Ye Jingchen's arm and muttered, "Don't you know how to talk?"

"arrive."

Chen Motong was taken aback. "What? It's here?"

She looked up.

A door appeared before us, and a blinding white light shone down!

She raised her hand to shield her eyes, slightly opening the gap between her middle and ring fingers, and squinted through the gap to look...
