So this is covert pregnancy? Indeed, impulsive young people always inadvertently bring monts of shocking surprise.
To be fair, Lord Ariel’s appearance has remained quite decent until now, without growing random things like those outside.
But because of this, the contrast with the bulging belly is even more striking.
The problem from earlier has now been answered, which is why no attempt was made to respond, allowing the doppelgänger to collapse.
Clearly, a classical maneuver was employed during this process, with Ariel using this to gain precious ti to develop, ultimately acquiring the "Lonely King Orthodoxy."
The battle for descent has already reached a conclusion.
Sitting before is the true Lonely King, who indeed seems poised to give birth to a successor.
Fu Qian was quite sure of this, and the reason was simple—the Calamity Eye had faintly overlapped above.
Obviously, the descent of the Lonely King upon himself had almost paused simultaneously, while the Native Council had a special thod of calming, eliminating fear elsewhere.
No wonder, it was already ntioned before that the Native Council might have been operating here for quite so ti.
Perhaps the logistics of the Night Watchman were unable to keep up, which is understandable—even more so if he hadn’t prepared to follow.
Coming here might have been simply to confirm an anomaly, and the Lonely King could descend without needing a specific host.
Either Ariel, real or false, would do.
This ntality Fu Qian could still imagine, but the only issue was, having missed a bit earlier, was there really confidence now to fully control the situation?
Or had they already prepared so kind of ironclad contingency plan?
At that mont, aside from the still-expanding belly, Ariel still made no move, while Fu Qian glanced upward.
The shattered do revealed a clear night sky, tranquil and distant, with magnificent stars—and densely interspersed with Silver-White Electric Snakes.
It’s obvious who they ca from, and indeed the Night Watchman never disappoints, always decisive and ruthless.
Clearly, regardless of distinguishing, two groups of lawbreakers had harmoniously gathered together, and the enforcers didn’t mind catching them all.
Whether it would affect the state of the Lonely King, leading to instability in this place, Fu Qian felt this risk couldn’t have been overlooked, but the final result seed they chose not to care.
Including whether to capture soone alive to confirm what was happening was the sa.
The complexity and urgency of the situation prompted the Night Watchman to suppress curiosity, using sweeping thods to eliminate danger—but as ntioned before, having failed once already, was there such confidence now?
In Fu Qian’s lant, the dazzling Lightning Jungle that dimd even the Stars Association had already crashed down—
"What exactly are you anticipating?"
Simultaneously, for the first ti since the start, Ariel across the way spoke.
...
This question seed to be asked at a very high level.
What are you anticipating, rather than what are you here to do, or what is your na?
Clearly, the other side knew that asking would not yield an answer.
And the answer to this question was rely trying to ascertain what it would take for him to stop his interference.
Of course, Fu Qian didn’t take this as any sort of peace gesture.
The situation was promising after careful maneuvering, and even if he wanted to cease, he had to see if the other side agreed.
So although the tone was mild, this question almost belonged to the realm of due diligence, hardly expecting an answer.
Yet even so, Fu Qian, who usually loved exchanges and discussions, opted to respond, but with body language.
The Fire of Madness intensified further, engulfing the opponent along with it.
The answer was straightforward, that this current situation undoubtedly did not et expectations, requiring further effort.
"Assuming identities, spreading such Withering flas... though not sure why you are opposing the council, you must admit you’ve done well."
Taking in the spirit, but Ariel seed indifferent, even continuing to offer praise.
"Don’t worry, the content of our conversation won’t be overheard, won’t make your efforts futile, we’re now in the gap between ti and space, distant from those people’s perception."
Encircled by flas, his voice continued calmly and steadily, even helping Fu Qian dispel concerns.
...
A very sincere appearance.
Although the other’s words sounded almost like coaxing a confession, Fu Qian didn’t blindly deny it.
Ti and space gaps beyond perception, sounded almost like describing his workplace.
But frankly, the scene before him compared to inside the warehouse, genuinely seed more fittingly described.
For example, Electric Snakes danced wildly, yet were frozen.
Indeed, the previous dialog wasn’t the kind of unreasonable pause of ti after a big move, but rather the big move was directly suspended.
The raging killing intent dropping from the sky, managed to halt rely a few ters overhead.
From this angle, it was undeniably a novel visual experience.
Fu Qian could clearly identify the "Heavenly Punishnt Sword" ant to execute him among them.
Yet the deadly force, even challenging for a Second Phase, seed trapped in a struggle.
Compared to lightning, the plasma edges hadn’t completely stopped, still advancing stubbornly, albeit at a snail’s pace.
Even the Fire of Madness was affected, the golden fla from the second expansion seed to slow down, becoming increasingly heavy in perception.
"You did this?"
Brushing a hand over the lingering flas, Fu Qian finally decided not to keep people at arm’s length, casually questioning.
Of course, it’s the Lonely King’s doing.
In this place, achieving such an effect, aside from the adequately ranked host, others would struggle imnsely.
This was sothing Fu Qian naturally knew, so the question was essentially asking, are you the "Lonely King"?
...
The purpose of the Native Council’s visit seed increasingly clear.
Perhaps this old adversary had always been low-key and cunning, but in Fu Qian’s view, under his previous disruptions, whether covert operations or sacrificing a pawn to save the carriage, there was one core elent that remained unchanged—
Their limited resources were definitely aid at this core purpose, so the outco now presented was their goal of picking chestnuts from the fire.
The Lonely King descended upon Ariel, his offspring too hibernates within Ariel’s flesh—so this visit was specifically to help deliver the Lonely King’s heir?
Considering the earlier and current objectives, it really matched up, except what benefits would this bring to the Native Council?
Under such imnse risk, they couldn’t possibly do this without expecting returns.
