Chapter 1079: Chapter 839: If She Invites to a Banquet

Upon waking, Pan Ruiyi felt significantly better.

She sat up, letting Qianxue clean her body and remove the bloodstains.

"I saw death, a massive cycle awaits me. But Lady Farosa called me back, the law of the starry sky surpasses the law of death," Pan Ruiyi murmured.

"It’s all over..." Chiyuki Sajou comforted her, wiping Pan Ruiyi with a damp towel.

"A defeated Battle Witch should have nothing," Pan Ruiyi said painfully.

"No Battle Witch can defeat that monster, not even other Dominator Witches could, and they might perform even worse... You’re the strongest among us," Chiyuki Sajou continued.

Pan Ruiyi still felt suffocated thinking about the White Salamander, an undying, ever-evolving, constantly resurrecting monster.

Chiyuki Sajou had watched over Pan Ruiyi all night and was already exhausted, so she had to rest.

Pan Ruiyi went outside, a layer of frustration from failure shrouding her heart.

Why couldn’t she win? No, she had actually won.

With her power, defeating the White Salamander wasn’t difficult; the Phoenix Kick could shatter it to pieces.

The problem was that it could resurrect, continuously resurrect, and come back stronger than before. This was beyond the scope of Pan Ruiyi’s Magic Power.

She never realized how terrible failure could be.

Aisha, carrying a lantern, along with several women from Asha Port, came to find Pan Ruiyi.

"Ah, you’re awake! I came as soon as I heard." Aisha, wearing a purple noble robe, appeared calm and composed.

"...Is Asha Port okay?" Seeing Aisha so calm, Pan Ruiyi instinctively assumed Asha Port was in a normal state.

"Almost leveled to the ground," Aisha smiled bitterly.

The women beside her also looked gloomy; their houses, cars, money, and loved ones were all destroyed in the White Salamander’s attack.

"..." Pan Ruiyi held her breath, a crushing sense of guilt swelling within her.

Strangely, she had never felt this way before; she used to know only fighting, pleasure, and wild laughter. Were all these changes good? She wasn’t sure.

"These are the women of Asha Port, they heard you were seriously injured and volunteered to be your maids," Aisha introduced.

Pan Ruiyi froze for a moment.

"...What? Why? I... I didn’t protect Asha Port," Pan Ruiyi said.

Tears rolled down one woman’s cheeks.

"We know," she said softly, "but you’ve done your best."

Pan Ruiyi swallowed hard.

She was grateful her face was hidden behind a mask because her eyes were turning red as well.

"We were completely unprepared," the woman said gently, "...the monster suddenly emerged from underground, and it was you who fought desperately to protect us, we are deeply grateful to you."

"Ah—ah!" Pan Ruiyi felt even more heartbroken hearing their understanding.

How great it would have been if she had won flawlessly, it would have been more elegant, more carefree.

"...We will be fine, so please, you must also pull through, you are the most incredible woman we’ve ever seen... the most incredible Witch?" the woman said sincerely.

They all looked at Pan Ruiyi with eyes full of a mixture of admiration and gratitude.

This is the meaning of a hero, to inspire hope and courage in others, even when one’s own heart is weakened.

Pan Ruiyi suddenly understood.

She stood tall and proud.

The desire for revenge took over, at this moment Pan Ruiyi’s heart was filled with only finding and killing that White Salamander.

This thing was far from over, she had to reclaim her honor.

Though it was embarrassing to have been defeated by it, as long as she completely crushed the White Salamander, this matter could be put to rest.

Pan Ruiyi had never lost! Even if she lost, she would definitely reclaim it afterward.

She gritted her teeth and promised them.

"Next time I fight the White Salamander, I will definitely kill it and avenge you," she said.

...

Aisha returned to her master bedroom.

She yawned and sat on the rose-embroidered sheets.

"I’ve booked the tickets," Hasan emerged from behind the golden curtains of one wall.

"Tickets?" Aisha was puzzled.

"Tickets to the West Coast, we can still find a reliable international airport on the southern coast, you sleep first, we’ll leave tomorrow," Hasan said.

"Why are we leaving?" Aisha retorted.

"We no longer have the power to fight against that white lizard monster, the White Salamander could attack this manor at any time, our small resistance is meaningless compared to the invincible Xisheng," Hasan said.

"What are you talking about!" Aisha was enraged, she grabbed a red pillow and threw it at Hasan.

"—Wait a minute! Miss Aisha, aren’t you afraid?" Hasan perfectly caught the pillow with precision.

"What is there to be afraid of, Xisheng has never shown such an open ’punishment attack’ before, even though they were very powerful, they dealt with competitors mainly through assassination and conspiracy, never attacking so violently. Their deploying of the White Salamander today indicates they are particularly panicked," Aisha said.

"You’re too calm," Hasan placed the pillow back by Aisha’s side and then sat next to her.

"To deal with Honma Noriko, one must have a genius mind like mine," Aisha tapped her forehead.

"Then tell me, what is Honma Noriko worried about?" Hasan asked.

"Because they previously misidentified our Invincible War Goddess as ’Pan Ruiyi’, Xisheng fell into decline in intercontinental reputation, sanctioned by Jialong Slope and Nestor Corporation, the stock price also plummeted, Honma Noriko is losing the trust of investors, Intercontinental Financial Corporation is cashing out and leaving the market, this can’t be salvaged just by destroying Asha Port. She’s just trying to scare me away, but I can’t leave, I must stay here to fight her. As long as I am alive for one more day, Honma Noriko will be anxious for one more day, because we are the most direct force against Honma Noriko," Aisha pondered.
