Chapter 2979 - 2980: Calm Before the Final Battle
Chapter 2979: Chapter 2980: Calm Before the Final Battle
Although most of Feixian Temple’s buildings were destroyed in this great battle, some did survive.
For example, this iconic high tower is one of them.
At this moment, Nai Yingying is sitting on the edge of the tower, her legs dangling lightly outside.
One has to admit, setting aside Nai Yingying’s nature as a sinister being, she is indeed extremely beautiful.
Especially in these ruins, which adds an astonishing beauty.
"Want one?" Nai Yingying skillfully pulled out a pack of cigarettes, gesturing to Xue An in the distance.
Looking at that familiar packaging, Xue An couldn’t help but frown, "Did Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian give you that too?"
Recently, Nai Yingying had been getting along quite well with Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian.
The Apple phone that Nai Yingying had been playing with was given to her by Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian.
So there’s no need to ask; the pack of cigarettes naturally came from them as well.
Nai Yingying smiled, "Don’t worry, I didn’t lure them; they gave them willingly, saying these things harm humans’ health, so they handed them to a non-human like me to ’eliminate’!"
With that said, Nai Yingying skillfully pulled out a cigarette, and with a snap of her fingers, it was lit. Then, she took a deep drag, showing a contented expression only long-time smokers have.
"I have to say, in terms of enjoyment, you humans far surpass us sinister beings!" Nai Yingying said lightly.
"Right back at you, you sinister beings excel at exterminating other species and worlds far beyond our reach!" Xue An retorted unceremoniously.
Nai Yingying giggled, a faint helplessness appearing on her face that looked like a young girl’s.
"It seems that such a long time together still hasn’t made you drop your hostility towards me!"
"Do you think that’s possible?" Xue An countered.
Nai Yingying exhaled a smoke ring in disappointment and nodded, "You’re right; it really isn’t possible!"
"But you should be careful!" Nai Yingying looked up at Xue An, "The Giant Spider you killed this time isn’t some small fry; its death symbolizes your complete open conflict with those old ones!"
Xue An looked fearless, "I naturally know that; in fact, I’ve been waiting for this day all along as I traveled this path!"
"I advise you not to be so optimistic. This time, it’s a serious matter. Previously, you had some major players shielding you, and those old ones didn’t dare make a move, but this time your backing has collapsed, and with this incident as a trigger, it’s highly likely those old ones will strike directly!"
Nai Yingying’s face showed a trace of worry, "By then, even this world might face destruction!"
Xue An’s gaze was cold as ice, "I’ll do my best to prevent that from happening, but if the end is destined to be unchangeable, then so be it!"
"If you intend to use this matter to persuade me to back down, you’d best stop talking, because it’s the sinister beings that are in the wrong, not me!"
"You’ve misunderstood!" Nai Yingying shook her head with a bitter smile. "Since things have developed this far, even if you wanted to back down, it’s not possible. I’m not foolish enough to make pointless efforts!"
"I’m just informing you of the seriousness of the situation to make sure you’re prepared in advance!"
Xue An glanced at Nai Yingying and suddenly said, "I remember you once said you represented the lawful faction among the sinister beings and were a friend, not a foe, here to assist me?"
"Yes!"
"So what now does your lawful faction intend to do to assist me?"
Nai Yingying smiled, "I thought you wouldn’t seek my help!"
"Help?" Xue An shook his head. "This isn’t seeking help; it’s inquiring!"
"Whether you step in or not, it won’t significantly impact the outcome, but I believe you won’t or rather don’t dare sit idly by! Because compared to me, you’re more afraid of those sinister beings taking over this world, right?"
Nai Yingying was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You’re right!"
"So we can’t talk about any of us asking for help; it should be about us fully cooperating, right?"
Saying this, Nai Yingying stood up in mid-air and extended her hand to Xue An.
Her fair, tender little hand was exquisite, but Xue An didn’t reach out in response, merely smiled faintly.
"Collaboration is possible, but I hope you realize one thing!"
"What is it?" Nai Yingying naturally lowered her hand, not feeling embarrassed by Xue An’s indifference at all.
"In this battle, I’m absolutely the dominant player. Whether you intervene or stand by is your own business, but there’s a prerequisite: don’t interfere with me, understand?"
Looking at the expression on Xue An’s face, Nai Yingying suddenly sighed, "Why are you always so guarded against us? I’ve repeatedly emphasized that we’re different from those guys!"
Xue An sneered coldly, "But in my eyes, you’re all sinister beings!"
With that, Xue An turned and left.
Nai Yingying remained standing quietly in the air, and a moment later, a glimmer of light appeared before her.
"Majesty, this guy is too arrogant; he dares speak to you in such a tone. Shouldn’t we take action to teach him a lesson!"
"Silence!" Nai Yingying suddenly snapped.
And this snap caused the already crumbling tower beneath her to collapse instantly into fragments.
The light also dimmed, urgently saying, "Please calm down, Majesty!"
"From now on, regarding any matters related to Xue An, none of you are to act on your own accord. If anyone disobeys, their bloodline will be revoked!" Nai Yingying said coldly.
This light trembled slightly with fear, "Yes!"
Then it quickly vanished.
Meanwhile, Xue An returned to the crowd.
Shu Jingchu came up to him.
"How did it go?"
"All went smoothly, I’ve said everything I needed to!" Xue An replied.
Shu Jingchu nodded, abruptly remembering something and his expression turned somber, "I just contacted the God of Light, who said he can’t intervene in this matter!"
Xue An smiled, "That’s understandable; after all, the Deities you believe in maintain neutrality, and they wouldn’t want to involve themselves in such battles!"
"But..."
Shu Jingchu wanted to say more, but Xue An waved it off.
"You can’t force such things, and now is not the time to dwell on them. I’m about to fuse The Celestial Mirror, and this period will be the most perilous, so you need to stay alert and be my protector!"
Shu Jingchu stiffened in determination and immediately nodded, "Rest assured, I..."
Before he could finish, Nezha, standing to the side, interjected, "Yes! You can proceed boldly; with me watching over, even if those sinister beings dare to show up, they won’t gain any advantage!"
His tone was grim as he finished.
Xue An laughed, "Great, then I can rest easy!"
