Chapter 159: Meeting

The situation was reported immediately, but by the time the people from the Sanctuary Church arrived to handle it, the contract parchment was less than one-tenth of its original size. The remaining portion seemed to mock them, turning completely to ashes the moment they arrived…

The contract that had lasted for so long was finally broken!

This immediately alarmed the higher-ups of the Sanctuary Church. The contract was destroyed, which meant Dan Marina was completely out of control. From then on, whatever she wanted to do was beyond the Sanctuary Church’s restraint.

“The feeling of freedom… is so wonderful!” The moment the contract was completely destroyed, Dan Marina looked back in the direction of the Sanctuary Church headquarters, showing a long-lost look of relief. She walked slowly, with a stark contrast to the speed of the Stream of Light in the sky, but she had a better way.

“Little Dragon? Are you planning to chase like this?”

The sudden voice made Zheng Yichen freeze for a moment. He instinctively looked down and saw a figure in a robe. Without another word, he immediately descended, looking at the woman who had reappeared with a strange expression. After all, Prophecy Art was her doing. Now that he saw her again, should he just slap her down?

As Zheng Yichen pondered whether to do so, Dan Marina seemed to read his mind. She smiled lightly and walked to Zheng Yichen’s side. “There are some things I had to do… But for now, you have nothing to worry about temporarily.”

As she spoke, she lightly placed her hand on Zheng Yichen’s front claw, causing him to shudder. He reflexively grabbed her, but soon tossed her aside. At that moment, Dan Marina was like a leaking battery; even the slightest touch made Zheng Yichen feel uncomfortable all over, especially when he grabbed her.

“What did you do?”

“Something bad, of course!” Dan Marina said with a grin, pulling off her silk glove and glancing at her arm. The spiderweb-like patterns on it had faded significantly again.

“You… broke the contract.”

“Yes, so now I’m yours,” Dan Marina winked at Zheng Yichen.

“…” Zheng Yichen immediately spread his wings without another word. The delay had allowed the Stream of Light to pull far ahead, almost disappearing from sight. There was no time to chat with this woman now; he had to focus on the task. However, as Zheng Yichen took off, another person was in his claw.

“I thought you would let me carry you on my back,” Zheng Yichen glanced at the woman who had voluntarily jumped into his claw, speaking indifferently. It seemed the so-called contract back then was part of her scheme. Even if it wasn’t directed at him, he was still used as a pawn. Encountering such a thing was inevitably annoying.

Zheng Yichen felt uneasy, but the woman he held in his claw was shamelessly thick-skinned. She showed no sign of remorse, either because her moral bottom line was too low or because the Witch’s values made her feel such actions were natural and an equal exchange.

“I don’t want to cause any conflict with your Witch,” Dan Marina shook her head casually. “Right now, she probably wants to kill me.”

Zheng Yichen immediately recalled the fleeting murderous intent in Loris’s eyes back in the Forbidden Zone.

“And you still dare to follow me?”

“Not following you would mean real trouble,” she shrugged lightly. “Can you put in a good word for me later?”

“No way!” Zheng Yichen shook his head immediately. It was a joke—being the one used and then asked to speak up for her? That was impossible!

If he had to take sides, it would be with Loris, not the woman who had jumped into his claw.

“You’re a Little Dragon who takes advantage and then acts coy. Do you know the weight of a Witch’s goodwill?” Dan Marina rolled her eyes at Zheng Yichen and snorted softly.

“If it’s so significant, use that to convince Loris,” Zheng Yichen muttered. If a fight really broke out, he would definitely stand on Loris’s side. Betraying her? Not a chance… After all, he was a dragon now. Although he occasionally thought about it, he didn’t really have any physiological needs…

“Hey, I am planning to use that to convince her.”

Zheng Yichen glanced at her again. Considering her strength, he didn’t say anything more and immediately activated the Propulsion Device. His speed surged instantly, closing in on the far-off Stream of Light. Just as he was halfway to catching up, the high-flying Witch Power abruptly plummeted toward the ground, completely grasped by a small hand.

The flying Stream of Light came to an abrupt halt. It wasn’t that they wanted to stop; they had to. Tiny dark-red light dots, each about a millimeter in size, densely surrounded them, numbering in the hundreds, completely trapping everyone.

Loris, standing on the ground, glanced at Zheng Yichen approaching from afar. With a sudden clap of her small hand raised toward the sky, the light dots rapidly closed in, fiercely colliding with the protective glow surrounding the pursuers. The bright radiance quickly dimmed under the invasion of the light dots, ultimately vanishing completely as the crystal ornaments they carried shattered!

Zheng Yichen’s Eyeballs widened in shock. He watched helplessly as dozens of powerful Spellcasters struggled futilely within the range covered by the light dots. The Magic they released couldn’t break through the blockade; each powerful spell could only barely offset one light dot. Even though some light dots had disappeared after colliding with the earlier glow, their remaining number left the Spellcasters in despair.

“Waving a hand wiped out so many people?” Zheng Yichen watched as the Spellcasters were completely erased in mid-air, leaving no trace behind. He felt a toothache. Back in the Black Mist, Loris had used this move, but at that time, her power had returned too slowly. Even releasing such an attack required some time to accumulate energy, giving Zheng Yichen enough chance to counterattack.

Otherwise… he would have been completely erased by those dark-red light dots back then.

After erasing that batch of enemies, dozens of light dots remained in the air. Under Loris’s control, these gathered together and rapidly shifted toward Zheng Yichen—not targeting him but the Dan Marina he held in his claw. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen didn’t hesitate and tossed her away.

She wasn’t even panicking, so why should he worry?

The tossed Dan Marina gave Zheng Yichen a resentful look but didn’t avoid the light dots, letting herself free-fall. Strangely, all the light dots missed her completely!
