"Don't make things worse," he sighed and said to Dorothy.

Zoe's brows furrowed tightly, "I never admitted it. As a girlfriend, it's only me. All of you are that kind of, that what..."

"Can't insult people, but still argue?" Golden Canary chuckled.

The chestnut-haired young girl's delicate face immediately turned red, "I-I will learn those words to insult you."

"What's there to learn about that, don't learn," Li Ang's head began to throb.

"I must clarify, I'm not a girlfriend, I'm a slave," Andasu said seriously.

"What?!" Meimei exclaimed beside her.

"Different from what you perceive," Li Ang raised his palm to the white-haired girl.

"What's different?"

Alulu sweetly smiled at this moment, "I won't be your girlfriend, I can be your virtuous wife, or perhaps your exclusive chef is also good."

This one further attacks from the flank.

"You really aren't a good person!" Meimei exclaimed excitedly, "I don't believe you can save Nebis!"

"I never intended to make you believe—oh—"

Halfway through Li Ang's words, his mouth was suddenly blocked.

Zoe was originally sitting very close beside him, when they started arguing, she leaned back into his arms to stand, and at this moment, her arms locked tightly around him, her jade-like face turned upwards, capturing him ceaselessly.

There was a brief silence in the room for two seconds before it exploded.

Almost everyone simultaneously erupted with excitement, the excess information and volume triggered Li Ang's mental circuit breaker mechanism, and in an instant, he seemed to hear none of it; the chaotic voices transforming into a consistent busy signal that flashed past his ears.

No matter how excited the crowd was outside, Zoe remained indifferent, tightly clutching him, only letting go after a long time.

Indeed, they hadn't been intimate for a few days, but this Wild Cat's initiative to attack still exceeded Li Ang's expectations.

"Hey, get away, you do this and I'll also—"

"How can it be like this? In that case, I might also—"

"Are you not considering the master at all?"

Everyone's chaotic words came one after another, then slowly subsided.

Because Meluna, already cold as ice, came to the front.

Dorothy, useless as ever, was scared and quickly hid far away. But having witnessed her slicing a dragon, or realizing she's a monster that no one but Li Ang can restrain, they unconsciously raised their guard.

Meluna looked straight at Li Ang, only speaking after a long while: "Such a thing, you have never done for me."

"Ah? No?"

More than one person present raised the question.

The black-haired young girl certainly wouldn't respond to them; she simply gazed at Li Ang, waiting for his response.

The magic power resonating from her body grew stronger, rising into unbridled Sword Intent that seemed capable of scratching others' cheeks.

"Calm down."

Facing her, Li Ang instead became steady.

He glanced at the others, then addressed Meluna, "Isn't this due to your own reasons? Back then, many times, you said you couldn't understand why to make such contact, so I didn't bring it up later."

Meluna was stunned, looking at him, raising a hand slowly pressed against her heaving chest.

"At that time, I didn't know, I still didn't know. Compared to tumultuous pleasure, the deep-rooted memory truly remaining is the lover's touch. Surely compared to those, this is what reaches the deepest part of the soul."

She gazed at Li Ang, her intent clear without words.

Li Ang choked on his breath, took a deep breath to clear his thoughts, then shook his head, "No, now it might be a bit difficult for me."

"I-I..."

Meluna stood frozen, her eyes visibly reddening.

"Heavens, this woman might cry, oh my," Dorothy said with a sarcastic tone.

Then, Golden Canary worriedly looked at Zoe, "What next?"

Zoe scoffed, "Li Ang will protect me."

"How did you become aware?"

"Humph, I used to want to rely on myself to resist, but that's unfair. Besides, temporarily I can't defeat her, but I certainly won't lose to her in the future; we both use swords. For now, I'll just act spoiled with Li Ang, as being lovingly spoiled is also a way to be a refreshing girlfriend full of charm."

Companions looked at Zoe incredulously, this statement was definitely not something she could come up with herself.

Li Ang felt the same, though she adored acting spoiled the most, it was all inclined towards childlike dependence… uh, perhaps recently influenced by some place?

Zoe provocatively glanced at Meluna, then embraced and lunged at Li Ang.

Dorothy was so angry, "I'm the most miserable one, I have been since Mengze Island—"

Meluna's endurance reached its limit.

On the ancient ship of the Shadow Factory, the guest room prepared for visitors experienced an explosion this afternoon.
