Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild

Mei Mei pinched the corner of the table, just like Meluna, her slender fingers crushed the wooden table into fragments.

"What I hate most is not having the opportunity to kill her with my own hands, watching her willingly become a sacrifice after causing the deaths of countless people, opening the gates of world destruction!

"Such an ending is still too merciful for her, I—"

"You’re really weak," Meluna interrupted her.

"What?" Mei Mei angrily looked at the black-haired young girl.

"I remember her, she was quite a formidable enemy, wasn’t she?"

Meluna gently caressed her left forearm, and Li Ang knew there was a small burn scar there that even the strongest healer couldn’t remove, indicating she had received a serious attack at the time.

He had thought it was an injury from her childhood, but was it actually caused by Ivynis from another world? Or was it the Annihilator, or even the power of another Star Soul?

"Calling her strong is because she lacks the usual human weaknesses, she is a complete remorseless killer. So every strike must have a fully thought-out counter. Of course, I didn’t hold back either."

A remorseless killer, was that Ivynis? Li Ang tried to separate out such a virtual image from the memories of the Maiden of Azure in his mind, but he couldn’t manage it.

Appearing from the sky at Spark Port, aiding the summoning of the Primordial Dragon in the Flashing Field, the tears on Mengze Island.

Was such a child an accomplice in world destruction, a remorseless killer?

At this age, Li Ang wouldn’t feel the disbelief that Zoe might feel; if the world played out a hundred times, he might tread a hundred different paths himself.

Ivynis, perhaps the kind version he and Zoe met was her true self, and the Empire on that side had completely changed her.

"This person is indeed a scourge. Li Ang, if you want, I can go and cut her down right now, if the places she’s hiding haven’t changed, I can find her quickly."

"No! She, she is—"

Zoe hurriedly stopped them.

"You know her?"

Mei Mei and Meluna both looked at Zoe, but their gazes weren’t very friendly.

"I am just like her, we have the same power."

The two Meis exchanged a glance, then looked back at Zoe, squinting their eyes.

"Indeed, before I kept trying to distinguish who Li Ang was, I didn’t notice that among the women causing trouble with him was one who could wield Star Soul Power, I originally thought it was Diana’s power."

Mei Mei looked at Zoe with an unfriendly gaze.

"What are you doing?"

Though she couldn’t win in a fight, when pushed, the Wild Cat would still scratch.

"Where did you find her?" Mei Mei asked Li Ang.

"My hometown."

"Precisely in your hometown, huh," Meluna said in a low voice, "If it weren’t for that, there’d be one less fox spirit."

"Keep an eye on her," said Mei Mei.

Zoe’s teeth ground together audibly; because of her long years practicing swordsmanship, her agile body was always steady in movement, but now she was uncontrollably trembling.

It was clear she wanted to go and fight them, even if she couldn’t win.

But her side-eye was always on Li Ang; she only cared that this was a meeting Li Ang was about to have, and she couldn’t ruin it.

"Zoe," Li Ang softly called to her.

The Little Wild Cat turned around and buried her head in his embrace.

"Wah! Li Ang! They, they want to kill Ivynis."

Li Ang gently patted the young girl’s back, meeting the inquisitive gazes of the black and white Meis.

"Have you already met? With the Empire Witch?" Mei Mei asked.

"When?" Meluna’s eyes glinted with a murderous aura, but it wasn’t aimed at Ivynis, it was purely from seeing Zoe pressed close to Li Ang.

Ivynis, did she bring destruction?

Li Ang let out a light breath, as if the heart he had been holding in suspense was now easing with relief.

With the Star Soul Greenhouse parallel to Zoe, able to nourish the ultimate ancient weapons and bring them back to their peak, it would be strange if such an existence wasn’t crucial to the world’s survival.

Even the adventure-experienced Li Ang and Otto were moved by some of the things Mei Mei said, not to mention Zoe, this easily immersed naive child.

Moreover, it wasn’t a story, it was real events from another identical world.

She wanted to make friends with and get to know that child similar to herself, and couldn’t bear to hear those things.

"Wah, Li Ang, Ivynis shouldn’t be like this, she’s obviously a good person, why does she have to harm others? Aren’t we going to save her? Can’t you tell them not to kill her?"

"Of course," Li Ang and Zoe spoke softly.

He said to Mei Mei: "There are some differences in this world, as I mentioned before, the Empire came late to Mengze Island, not just because I stopped them from blocking the passage, so we can’t completely treat the people here as the ones you saw in the past."

From a gamer’s perspective, he could know that the Savior in this place was Zoe, and since the Empire was closely related to her, it was possible that its delayed actions were due to something Zoe’s parents did.

After all, her father did write in his notebook to cooperate with "Cha’ain" to oppose some force, and now looking at it, the probability was very high that it was the Eye of God.

Mei Mei didn’t say anything more; this little girl differed greatly from Meluna, and now seemed to accept Li Ang’s explanation.

But ever since he held Zoe, Meluna had been staring at him intently.

Li Ang had originally wanted to say a few words to her, but as he turned his gaze towards her, Meluna pointed at Mei Mei and spoke first: "Li Ang, if I became a child like her, would you come to like me again? You like this little fox spirit so much, it’s really because she’s younger and her body is more flexible than mine."
