Chat group, if you have anything to say to my Holy Sword,

"My eyes can see directly the rhythm of living beings, joy, anger, sorrow... and lies, these things are clear to me at a glance."

"For example, you clearly hid something from me before, and I'm very curious about it."

Platon Sanx tilted his head slightly:

"Is there... anything else you haven't said?"

Xiling looked at Platon Sanks, who was so close to her, her beautiful face carrying a hint of inquiry.

"That's a long story," Xiling said, taking two steps to the side and moving away from Platonsangs. Platonsangs's gaze remained fixed on Xiling throughout.

Looking at the inquisitive look in the other's eyes, Xiling thought to herself, "Are dragons really that curious?"

After thinking for a moment, Xiling decided to tell the other person something.

"My time as the acting king ends tomorrow, and I'll leave the border region. Yeah, that's it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiling turned around without hesitation.

He felt he had made himself perfectly clear.

easy to understand.

However, the moment Xiling turned around, a strange sense of unease crept up her spine.

The air seemed to thicken and become heavy, no longer a flowing gas, but more like some kind of charged gel. A fine, dense tingling sensation spread from the exposed skin, like countless tiny static needles gently pricking it.

Even more strangely, a faint yet piercing crackling and hissing sound could be heard in the air.

"Wait, something's tingling and numb... and there's this sound? Could it be?!"

Xiling suddenly turned around—

A few steps behind, Platon Sanx remained standing in the same spot, but the expression on his face vanished, his golden pupils lost focus, and they dilated slightly, staring blankly ahead, reflecting no image, only a sense of bewilderment and emptiness.

A chilling lightning bolt crackled across her body, but she seemed oblivious, muttering something under her breath.

Xiling could clearly hear the other person's pronunciation, but it wasn't language at all; it was some kind of ancient dragon's murmur.

"Leave the border area?"

"leave here?"

"Leave...me!"

Xiling's words—those few words of farewell that he considered clear and concise—were now echoing, striking, and burning repeatedly in Platon Sank's mind!

leave?

Do not!

An indescribable, excruciating pain and a chilling emptiness instantly gripped her heart. Then, an unprecedented, pure, and violent emotion erupted! It wasn't sadness, it wasn't loss, but—rage!

Are you kidding me?

What does he think of himself as?

Can someone just tell you their itinerary and wave goodbye at will?

She is the queen of the ancient dragon clan!

The supreme king of the former borderlands!

A being revered by all!

Yet even such a supreme being willingly submits to one person.

This was the most incredible decision she had ever made in her long life, and also the most unquestionable choice.

She lowered her proud head, willingly surrendering the absolute power and dignity belonging to the King of Ancient Dragons to one person.

It was just one person!

But what does the other party mean?

That calm tone, that departing figure, that casual departure from the border.

Does the other party intend to abandon me?

Could it be that her submission and devotion were something he could easily discard?

Am I going to be abandoned again?

Like a cycle cursed by fate!

Memories she had intended to discard flooded her mind—a lonely roar echoed in the void... That unforgettable resentment once again completely overwhelmed her.

Just like before!

No!

Absolutely not!

"Platton Sanks, are you alright?" Xiling asked with some concern, wondering if something had happened to him.

Upon hearing Xiling's call, Platon Sanks abruptly raised his head.

At that very moment, the enormous moon in the sky seemed to be obscured by dark clouds.

The land shrouded in darkness.

It also obscured the figures of the two people.

Xiling stopped in her tracks as she was about to step forward to check. A heavy pressure, like a real mountain, burst forth from the seemingly tiny human body in front of her!

Those golden eyes, no longer those that had previously been inquisitive or curious, had now completely transformed into vertical, lava-like amber pupils, resembling a wounded beast in the darkness.

"what's the situation"

Feeling the immense pressure, Xiling instinctively frowned, but made no other move, because he didn't perceive this pressure as a prelude to attack.

It was more like a loss of control, a terrifying behemoth that had condensed all its power into a human form, but was completely unable to suppress its true nature due to violent emotional fluctuations, inadvertently revealing a glimpse of its oppressive power.

In the midst of this heart-stopping darkness and oppressive atmosphere, the figure moved.

step--

Two steps —

Three steps —

Platons walked up to Xiling, and even with his small body, he now gave the impression of a terrifying ancient dragon.

However, Xiling remained motionless. He neither retreated, nor defended, nor even gathered his power. He simply stood there quietly, gazing into those dragon eyes burning with molten gold flames.

This silent gaze became the last straw that broke the camel's back in Platon Sanx's heart.

Anger was dispelled at that moment, replaced by unease and resentment.

In this suffocating stalemate, a cold, slightly trembling hand reached out from the darkness. Slowly, with an almost humble hesitation, it gently, yet with unwavering determination, grasped Xiling's hand.

"Don't abandon me..."

After that broken plea fell, the whole world was left with only the harsh and monotonous crackling and hissing sounds.

Lightning bolts wound around Xiling's arms and shoulders along the point where their skin touched.

Xiling could sense the frenzy and unease of that power, but he didn't let go...

Xiling gazed at the figure that seemed to be praying.

Is that so...? Because you've been abandoned before, are you afraid of being abandoned again...?

It's because in that moment of despair, I reached out and gave her a ray of light...that's why I hold such an important place in her heart?

If that's the case...

"I think I said something really offensive." This realization clearly surfaced in Xiling's mind.

There was no response for a long time. Xiling's silence, like a cold tide, gradually extinguished the faint fire in Platon Sanx's heart.

As expected... will I be abandoned in the end?

But just then—the hand she had been holding, which had been passively receiving the pressure, suddenly came under a force! It wasn't a struggle, but rather—a grip tightened!

Platon Sanx looked up and saw a pair of apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry, I think I said something really hurtful."

Xiling stared directly into Platons's dragon eyes.

"I'm definitely leaving," Xiling stated once again, but then her tone abruptly changed.

"But I didn't say I wasn't coming back!"

Platon Sanks seemed not to have reacted, just staring blankly at Xiling.

And at this time...

A smile appeared on Xiling's face, a reassuring smile, and at the same time, Xiling's eyes held an unprecedented seriousness, as if he were making a vow or a promise:

I will not abandon you.

I will not abandon anyone who needs me.

“Platton Sanks, this is the oath I made to you, and to those people.”

this moment.

As if echoing the weight of this promise, the dark clouds that had obscured the bright moon dispersed! The cool moonlight, like a silver veil, poured down instantly, gently enveloping the entire earth and clearly illuminating the two figures.

The thunder and lightning in the air subsided considerably, leaving only streaks of electricity flickering and dancing between the two.

"Really?" Platon Sanks asked, as if to confirm Xiling's words.

Even though she had already made her choice in her heart.

Seeing the questioning look on Xiling's face, her serious expression vanished, replaced by a...smile.

"I lied to you~"

"Huh?!" Platon Sanks froze instantly, his expression changing from seeking confirmation to utter astonishment and bewilderment.

"Pfft...hahaha!"

Looking at Platon Sanks's astonished expression.

Xiling could no longer hold back and burst into laughter, her laughter sounding particularly clear and bright under the now-quiet moonlight.

"You don't actually believe that, do you? Haha!"

However, his laughter was quickly cut short by the sudden change in expression on the other person's face.

Platon Sanx's face darkened completely.

The suffocating and terrifying pressure from before has completely disappeared.

This means she has returned to normal, but...

Those golden dragon eyes returned to their original golden color, fixed intently on Xiling. The surging emotions within them were no longer anger or sorrow, but rather a kind of... calm after being toyed with.

Looking directly into those calm eyes, a bad feeling welled up in Xiling's heart.

It seems he... went too far!

next second.

Xiling and Platon Sanks acted simultaneously.

Xiling turned around, surrounded by silvery-white magic, and activated his sprint mode.

Lightning crackled around him, and Platon Sanx instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning.

Under the cool moonlight, a thrilling chase unfolded in the royal palace.

Silver and red lightning leaped and bounded throughout the palace.

Until a piercing wail was heard.

It finally came to an end.
