Volume 3, Chapter 21 – Arriving in Clavino, the Fishy Smell is Quite Unpleasant…

Under the embrace of black Augury Force, Xingwu’s figure quickly disappeared from Yeli’s vision.

After confirming that his “Grandma Xingwu” had already left, this loose-lipped young man stopped his resentful muttering, calmly leaned against the marble, and soaked in the warm sacred spring.

“This miss really is willful.”

The young man chuckled lightly, commenting with a sigh.

Unlike his previous submissive behavior in front of Xingwu, Yeli’s bright eyes clearly revealed some displeasure.

However, soon,

These displeased emotions were forcibly suppressed by the young man.

Well,

Stop complaining.

At this stage, I can only cling to this fellow countrywoman’s support. I’ll just cooperate obediently for now. After all, I’m new here and don’t have the right to choose anything.

“But?”

Furrowing his brows, gazing at the bright moon in the clouds, Yeli couldn’t help but raise his hand to grasp his chin, murmuring thoughtfully.

“Is following her really the right choice?”

Yeli asked himself this question.

As a college student, Yeli had honestly secretly read quite a few novels about crossing into other worlds during his classes. And from his experiences so far, he probably wasn’t following the “invincible flow.”

With great potential but currently weak, he was undoubtedly on the leveling-up path.

And in leveling-up novels, finding a powerful supporter was clearly a wise choice to survive the early dangerous period. For this reason, after realizing that Xingwu was from his world and had overwhelming strength, Yeli had eagerly tried to get on her good side.

However, from recent developments, it seemed his fellow countrywoman wasn’t doing very well in this world?

Though powerful, she had to be secretive.

Moreover,

This countrywoman’s soul seemed to have issues, too impure.

The more he thought about it, the more Yeli doubted whether he had followed the wrong person. In leveling-up novels, the consequences of following the wrong person could be quite severe.

“Sigh, forget it, let’s not think about this for now. On second thought, it seems I don’t have any choice.”

Besides that lady,

Who else could I follow?

Raising an eyebrow, Yeli slightly turned his gaze, thoughtfully looking at the red-robed Paradise Manor guards nearby.

Paradise Manor seemed to be the largest power in the human world. Under normal circumstances, relying on them might be a good choice, but unfortunately… these people apparently only wanted to raise him up, then kill him… couldn’t rely on them.

And besides Paradise Manor? The most terrifying powers in the world seemed to be those three major Vassal clans. But unfortunately… they probably also wanted to tear him apart with his body containing Augury Force.

Ah,

Tough situation.

“So it turns out, I’ve got a hellish start?”

Heh,

But,

Isn’t that a bit more challenging? If it weren’t difficult, I wouldn’t have chosen to come to this world…

The young man raised the corner of his mouth playfully.

However, just as the young man was engaged in his inner monologue… perhaps because he had been staring at the Paradise Manor people for too long, a terrifying resentment and chilling killing intent suddenly began to uncontrollably seep out from the depths of his soul.

This made Yeli suddenly tremble all over, unable to help but raise his hand to his forehead.

“Cough cough cough…”

Reaⅾ оո ΚаtReаԁiոɡСаfe

Pressing hard on his head, Yeli, with a pained expression, couldn’t help but pant repeatedly.

Please,

Can you wait a bit?

The time isn’t right yet…

After a whisper in his heart, the restlessness in Yeli’s heart was barely suppressed by the young man. And Yeli himself just silently soaked in the sacred spring.

—”Forget it, don’t overthink. Let’s just go with this for now.”

However,

Before he had soaked for long, Yeli suddenly realized a serious problem, his pupils constricted abruptly, and he shot up from the spring water.

Wait!!

“Grandma Xingwu!! What am I going to eat during these few days when you’re gone?!! I haven’t learned to abstain from food yet! I’m going to starve to death!”

Clutching his head, Yeli let out a wail like a howling ghost or wolf.

The next morning,

At the suburban airport of the Covenant capital, Clavino.

The private jet bearing the Sevitt Syndicate’s emblem landed at the airport under the escort of several fighter jets.

The rumble of the turbine engines had not yet completely dissipated when the cabin door of the private jet quietly opened.

At Greemir’s invitation, Miss Bai Lianyue, dressed in a pure white dress, with her hair tied up and holding a parasol, looking every bit the noble lady, slowly walked out from the private jet. And following behind Bai Lianyue, the silver-haired girl holding a black cat in her arms was naturally our Miss Ailiya.

As soon as she exited the cabin, Ailiya took advantage of the airport’s high position to gaze toward the distant Covenant capital, Clavino.

At this moment,

The Covenant capital in the morning mist was like a steel forest descending from the clouds, with countless prismatic buildings towering above the ground, their surfaces displaying holographic projections that enveloped the entire city in a dreamy halo.

The central energy tower continuously emitted a profound spiritual energy aura, the plasma core at the top of the tower appearing and disappearing in the thin fog, like a blue star suspended in the air.

Most eye-catching was the energy barrier surrounding the city, a translucent light membrane that undulated with the airflow, sometimes rippling like water, sometimes condensing into brilliant aurora. When sunlight penetrated the barrier, the entire city seemed to be coated with a layer of flowing gold foil, a magnificent and breathtaking sight.

“Clavino…”

Looking at the familiar scene, Ailiya couldn’t help but murmur with emotion.

In the girl’s mind, she couldn’t help but recall the scenes of her mother taking her to play in Clavino when she was young. At that time… everything was so peaceful and serene, so happy and perfect.

“What’s wrong, Ai’er?”

Obviously noticing some slight abnormality in Ailiya’s expression, the Malevolence lady asked with concern:

“Are you airsick? Do you need some medicine?”

“It’s nothing, Mom. I was just thinking about how impressive the city is.”

“Oh, that’s good. Hmm, but impressive?”

At this, Bai Lianyue seemed somewhat disdainful. Although the Malevolence lady had lost about seventy to eighty percent of her past memories, perhaps due to her years spent in Visas, Bai Lianyue could still barely recall the grandeur and magnificence of cities a thousand years ago.

Compared to the cities of that time, this Clavino? It seemed so delicate, so insignificant.

“I don’t think so, the city feels so small. And… these buildings are also so short, not cool at all.”

Bai Lianyue’s voice carried a hint of contempt.

“Sigh, Mom, didn’t I already tell you? Buildings and such can’t be built too high.”

Patting Lianyue’s forgetful head, Ailiya said helplessly yet fondly.

“Why not?”

“Haven’t you seen that barrier? That barrier released from the central tower, protecting the entire city. It’s to prevent Corrupted Beast attacks.”

“Oh, I see. It looks so fragile though.”

“For you, perhaps it is. But ordinary Corrupted Beasts, even Vassal-tier ones, would find it difficult to break through. In any case, the height the barrier can cover is limited, so buildings can’t be built too high. From a barrier studies perspective, if they’re too tall, the barrier can’t maintain its optimal defensive state, and the energy consumption would also increase substantially. It wouldn’t be worth it.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Mom, just a reminder.”

Stepping forward and taking hold of Bai Lianyue’s wrist, Ailiya raised her eyebrow slightly, affectionately leaned close to Bai Lianyue’s ear, and softly said:

“Remember what we discussed earlier, okay? When outsiders are present, you should just be a smiling beautiful girl, don’t speak randomly or ask questions… especially like just now, asking common knowledge questions. Otherwise, it might arouse suspicion.”

Ailiya spoke in an admonishing tone.

Obviously,

The silver-haired girl’s heart was still slightly anxious, fearing that this somewhat unreliable old mother might suddenly cause some trouble for her again.

But there was no way around it.

To help Lianyue recover her memories, some necessary risks had to be taken.

However, after giving these instructions, Ailiya felt something was off. Because her Lian didn’t seem to be listening to her, but instead was furrowing her brows and looking around.

??

“What’s wrong, Lian… Mom? Is something wrong?”

“Hmm… it stinks.”

“Stinks?”

Ailiya blinked in confusion, after sniffing with her little nose, the girl became even more puzzled.

“Not at all, I don’t smell anything? Where does it stink?”

Faced with this question, Bai Lianyue slowly raised her hand, pointing toward the Covenant capital enveloped by the barrier.

“There… I feel like there’s a fishy smell, it’s uncomfortable…”

“Hmm? A fishy smell?”
