Chapter 57: A Secret Conversation and an Unexpected Encounter

“What? An adventurer?~ I’m not sure. Since my side doesn’t show any rule violations, then even I can’t interfere with him~.”

Yemina shrugged, seemingly expressing her helplessness.

“Besides, even if he causes trouble in the land of the demons, it’s up to their system administrators to punish him. We on the side of the Holy Empire of the Saints aren’t really convenient…”

“So it’s okay if he attacks Noah?”

Letitia interrupted Yemina’s soothing words, speaking sharply like a blade.

“…What did you say?”

Yemina was taken aback, staring intensely at Letitia’s eyes, her golden pupils devoid of any trace of a smile.

The beautiful and gentle face had completely hardened, and a terrifying aura of authority and killing intent spread in an instant, like that of another conqueror of the world.

That terrifying aura, as if stained with countless bloodshed, returning from the battlefield, was something pure and holy Noah could never possess.

“He attacked Noah. Does this violate your ‘rules’?”

Letitia shrugged, and seeing the other’s reaction, she relaxed, her tone lightening significantly.

Because of this reaction, it clearly showed that Yemina cared about Noah, and one could even say she cared more about Noah than the war between the two nations.

“Is that so… Attacking the current Noah doesn’t actually violate the system’s restrictions on adventurers. That guy managed to find a loophole…”

Yemina also calmed down, turning away and hugging her ample chest, resting her chin as she pondered.

“This matter, I will give you an explanation. I promise you, he will not attack Noah again.”

A few seconds later, Yemina turned her face back, making a solemn and serious promise.

Letitia nodded slightly, preparing to end the communication when Yemina suddenly asked cheerfully:

“Oh right~, how is little Noah doing with you? Is she sleeping comfortably~?”

Letitia was taken aback, not expecting such a question. She tilted her head, thinking for a moment, and replied in a flat tone:

“She’s doing well, she seems happy every day.”

“Is that so~?”

Yemina narrowed her eyes, her fox-like cunning demeanor was uncannily familiar no matter how one looked at it.

“She’s a good girl, make sure to take good care of her~.”

“A ‘good’ girl, indeed. She’s a girl who makes you good in every way.” Letitia’s lips twitched slightly.

In Yemina’s playful words, the secret communication between the leaders of the two enemy nations ended like that.

At this moment, Noah was unaware of the conversations and changes her existence had sparked.

Likewise, in another world, those who were about to take action were unaware: Their actions would set off a chain of events.

****

In the real world, under an umbrella in X City.

A refined and elegant girl raised a cup of red tea, sipping it gently. Her long lashes cast a shadow over her bright, dark eyes, adding to her allure.

The girl wore a simple yet elegant dress, her flat chest as smooth as a cliff, truly a 90-degree tan line.

If one were to pat it, one would likely feel the hardness of ribs rather than the softness of flesh, right?

In the early morning, she sat quietly on the bustling street, like a serene painting in a world of her own.

Someone recognized her and was about to take a photo, only to be politely “escorted” away by the guards hidden in the crowd.

She was the heiress of the Ning Corporation, the head of the Ning family, and the cover girl of *Famous Magazine* for six consecutive issues, as well as the top-ranked “Sword Monk” in the Asian server of *Mystic Light*, known as Mao Ning.

Her name was Ning Yao, and anyone who heard it would praise her for her youth, talent, and fear her cunning ways.

But only she knew that all her achievements were merely to keep up with someone else’s pace.

“Sorry, sorry, Miss Ning, there was traffic, it took a bit longer, my apologies.”

A young man with tanned skin ran up to Ning Yao, his friendly smile tinged with embarrassment.

Behind him was a young girl, and the guards, recognizing the command, did not stop him.

“It’s alright, Yu Ling, I just arrived. As a gentleman, you didn’t make a lady wait too long.”

The noble and strong-willed young girl lightly pursed her lips, tucking her waist-length black hair behind her ear. Her pure eyes sparkled with allure and cunning.

It was rush hour, with countless people and vehicles, yet the environment around the girl was eerily quiet, like a beautiful, secluded paradise.

Knight Aaron’s appearance was similar to his in-game avatar, except without the game’s muscular build. He likely intentionally made his face resemble his real self to expand his network of acquaintances.

Yu Ling, a young man from a prominent family, was quite different from the young, powerful Ning Yao. He excelled in social relationships, building good rapport with the young generation across various industries.

Even the stern Ning Yao had to admit that as a friend, Yu Ling was a reliable ally.

“Hello, hello! Miss Ning, I’m a game journalist for *Mystic Light*, my name is Ji Yuan. It’s an honor to meet you~.”

The petite girl behind him made a V sign, her lively and energetic demeanor contrasting with her youthful, undeveloped looks. Her well-endowed figure was evident, catching the flat-chested Ning Yao’s attention.

Ning Yao gestured for the two to sit, and Yu Ling and Ji Yuan pulled out their chairs, sitting down. The silent, professional shop owner quickly served each of them a cup of red tea.

Familiar customers would notice that the shop owner was different from usual. Ning Yao had given him a short break, taking over the space.

“So, she’s the one you mentioned, someone who understands the situation?”

Ning Yao looked at the lively girl in front of her, narrowing her eyes and exerting pressure, her words subtly probing the girl’s information.

Hearing this, Ji Yuan’s lips curved into a smile, knowing this was her moment to shine. She patted her chest, her generous bosom quivering slightly.

“Of course, Miss Ning, whether it’s the disappearance of the heir of the Bai Corporation or the empty game pods, I know all about it!”
