Chapter 1298 Senior Si Xiaonan
Lin Qiye was stunned.
He was on the other side of the stone monument, and although he couldn’t see Si Xiaonan’s expression at this moment, he could hear unprecedented power and conviction in her voice.
This Si Xiaonan was different from the one Lin Qiye had seen in Cangnan, different from the one he saw in the mist… different from any version of Si Xiaonan he had ever seen!
The current Si Xiaonan was like a beast about to tear off its disguise, gradually revealing her sharp fangs to the world.
As if her entire life had been waiting for this moment.
“Xiaonan…” Lin Qiye opened his mouth, about to say something more, when Si Xiaonan’s voice came again.
“Qiye, do you know? At Kunlun Void, when I stood opposite the entire Great Xia, only you still chose to trust me… I was really so happy.”
The dawn light gradually rose on the horizon, a clear ray of morning sun shone on Si Xiaonan’s ordinary face. As if remembering something, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
“I never thought that the time I spent in Cangnan as an undercover agent would be the happiest time of my life… Captain, Deputy Captain, Qi Mo, Hong Ying, Old Zhao, Leng Xuan, and you… meeting all of you is the greatest fortune in my life!
I probably won’t have the chance to return to Cangnan, but you, Qiye, you must return safely! They’re still waiting for you to come home.”
A crystal tear welled up from her reddened eyes, falling to the ground along her cheek. She wrapped the cloak tightly around herself, her eyes full of determination and resolve as she strode out from the shadow of the stone monument, walking toward the brilliant morning light.
She took a deep breath and, mimicking her tone from her time in Cangnan, declared loudly:
“Watch me, junior!
This time, your senior Si Xiaonan… won’t lose!”
Lin Qiye stood up from the other side of the stone monument and quickly walked to its edge. At the end of the wide road,
A brilliant morning sun was slowly rising, stretching the shadow of that small figure very long… like a giant emerging from the shadows, sword in hand, about to step onto the battlefield of destiny.
Lin Qiye was stunned for a long while before he finally smiled bitterly:
“Senior Si Xiaonan? Just because you joined the team a year before me, even though you’re actually two months younger than me…”
He gazed at Si Xiaonan’s gradually disappearing figure, let out a long sigh, and after a moment’s hesitation, softly said:
“Number 27.”
“Hmm.”
“It’s time to fulfill your promise.”
As Lin Qiye’s words fell, a moment later, a wisp of smoke rolled out from within his body, vaguely outlining the form of a man.
“What I promised you, I will definitely do… I hope you don’t forget yours either.”
Number 27’s figure flickered and disappeared at the end of the road.
Lin Qiye stood alone, about to leave, when a faint thunder rumbled from the clouds on the horizon.
He frowned and turned to look.
“It’s about to begin…”
He murmured to himself.
…
Rustle, rustle—
Si Xiaonan’s feet stepped on countless fallen leaves, making slight sounds.
Wrapped in her cloak, she went straight through the deep forest, finally arriving before an ancient temple.
This strange temple in gray and white stood in the depths of the sunless forest. Though seemingly ordinary, only a few people knew that beneath this dilapidated temple lay the only passage to Asgard’s “Human Circle.”
Si Xiaonan stood before the temple and bowed respectfully:
“Lord Loki.”
In the void before the black statue, space suddenly distorted, and a figure wearing a magnificent ceremonial robe slowly emerged.
“My dear Xiaonan, I never expected you would still respond to my call…”
Loki, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, stood on the moss-covered steps and spoke leisurely, “I thought you already hated me.”
“Xiaonan wouldn’t dare… Lord Loki must have had his reasons for leaving me in Lord Thor’s hands.” Si Xiaonan’s head was bowed so low it almost touched the sandy ground.
Loki’s narrow eyes slightly narrowed as he gazed at the weak and humble Si Xiaonan before him, a smile still hanging at the corner of his mouth.
“It seems you’ve suffered quite a bit during my absence…”
He slowly walked down the steps, raised his fingertip, and gently placed it on Si Xiaonan’s neck…
Si Xiaonan’s body trembled, but she made no additional movement, only closing her eyes tightly with her lips pressed together.
Loki’s fingertip lightly traced along Si Xiaonan’s neck, a faint divine light flowing into her body. Beneath the large cloak, her various bandaged wounds began to heal at an astonishing speed!
“You’ve worked hard… Xiaonan.” Loki’s smile deepened.
Si Xiaonan took a deep breath. “Thank you, Lord Loki!”
Loki glanced at her and walked directly toward the forest exit, his magnificent robe swaying gently in the wind, his entire being exuding a subtle dignity.
Si Xiaonan quickly followed behind Loki and, after hesitating for a moment, couldn’t help but speak up, “Lord Loki, your attire…”
“Magnificent, isn’t it?” Loki smiled and waved his sleeve, saying calmly, “In nature, the more colorful, the more dangerous… A leader of a divine realm, like the pope of a faith, needs to accentuate himself with the most vibrant and intimidating colors. The more so, the easier it is to convince people.
The everyday black attire suits Loki the God of Mischief… but not Loki the Divine King, don’t you think?”
Si Xiaonan’s gaze focused, and she immediately said: “Yes.”
“Let’s go, my dear Thor is probably getting impatient.” Loki chuckled, his snake-like cold eyes narrowing slightly.
He led Si Xiaonan away, their figures moving like lightning, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
…
When Lin Qiye returned to the front of the temple, he saw several figures walking out with solemn expressions.
Thunder God Thor, Harvest Goddess Sif, War God Tyr, Forest God Vela… as well as several members of the Northern European Battle Division in heavy armor following behind them.
Thor spotted Lin Qiye at once and beckoned to him.
“Myles, stay by my side.”
“Yes, Lord Thor.”
Lin Qiye quickly walked to Thor’s side. At this moment, Thor seemed to remember something and asked, “You haven’t used your prophecy today, have you?”
“No… what’s wrong?”
“Loki has always been full of tricks. This time, making such a high-profile public assault on the Supreme must hide some kind of plot… If something unexpected happens, we might need your prophetic ability.” Thor said seriously.
It seemed Thor was also well aware of Loki’s character. His brazen public assault on the Supreme must have been thoroughly prepared, and Lin Qiye, with his power of prophecy, was undoubtedly one of his trump cards.
“I am willing to serve Lord Thor.”
Lin Qiye nodded.
