Superhumans of the Dome City
Chapter 418 - 418 92 Dreams and Future_4

418: Chapter 92 Dreams and Future_4 418: Chapter 92 Dreams and Future_4 Friends?

His relationship with this woman was complicated, not like ordinary friends.

Lovers?

Impossible.

Even if there was occasional flirting, Shiyu Ling had absolutely no such feelings for him.

Rivals?

That was even stranger.

After all, they hadn’t actually fought over anything…

Shiyu Ling placed her hand on the back of the chair and smiled, “Go on~ what are we exactly?”

“Partners!

That’s why I can’t just watch you fall into danger.”

“Big sister is heartbroken.

Back then you said you loved and liked me, but now you turn your back and deny knowing me.”

“Didn’t we agree not to bring that up!” Gongsun Ce argued, “And you’ve said similar things too, liking me and whatnot!

If this continues, I’ll start digging up the past too!”

“Oh, you want to hear more?”

Shiyu Ling propped herself closer to the bedsheet.

Nearly pressing against the young man, she smirked, “I like your personality, and I like a green and just young man too…”

Oh no, this is bad.

His heartbeat quickened.

His face felt hot.

Even though he knew she didn’t mean it that way, he couldn’t help but think weird thoughts!

Shiyu Ling’s face got closer.

Her eyes seemed to hold magic, demanding attention…

and closeness…

“So, are you satisfied?

Or do you want to hear something even more?”

“Ahh you wicked woman!” the superpower user shouted with his eyes closed, “I give up!

I admit defeat this time!”

“Ha ha ha ha ha!

You are centuries away from beating big sister~”

Shiyu Ling smirked and patted his shoulder.

In a flash, the scene before Gongsun Ce changed.

They had moved from the hospital room to the rooftop, where the moon over Weiyuan City looked slightly faint.

Shiyu Ling sat next to him, together looking at the sky.

“Do you regret it?

A few days ago, you had the chance to do weird things to me with a collar, and now it’s not possible anymore.”

Gongsun Ce scratched his head and honestly said, “To say I never had such a thought is impossible… but you know my character, I wouldn’t actually do it.”

“That’s why you are still a naïve boy.”

Shiyu Ling moved closer, and just as the young man was about to remind her about keeping a distance, he felt a weight on his shoulder.

Black hair flowed in front of him as she rested her head on his shoulder, leaning against him.

“Alright, let me lean on you for a bit.”

Gongsun Ce silently dismissed the idea to use telekinesis and quietly sat on the rooftop.

“Really…” he heard her helpless sigh, “I thought that by the waterfall, I had already repaid you, and I wouldn’t owe you anymore.

But in the end, I still needed your help to reach the Creation Realm, and now I owe you greatly.”

“These things don’t count.”

“They do, you terrible person.

I’ll never be able to repay you in this lifetime.” Shiyu Ling lazily said, “And you, don’t you know what to do at times like this?

My shoulders are cold.”

“No, I feel this is a bit…”

“Enough talking, hurry up.”

Gongsun Ce awkwardly reached out his hand and embraced her shoulder.

He felt his face must be red.

To prevent Shiyu Ling from saying anything odd, he quickly changed the subject.

“Now that everything has truly ended in Zero Island, what do you plan to do next?”

“I’ll go back to the Sky City with you guys first…

After that, I’m going to prepare for the long-dreamed-of trip around the world!” Shiyu Ling’s voice immediately brightened, “Which do you think is better to visit first, the Empire or the United States?”

“I’ve never been to the United States, so I’d definitely recommend the Empire,” Gongsun Ce said, “Rich in history and scenic beauty and the food is much better than Ustus’s fried chicken and fries.”

“The United States has 51 distinctive landscapes!

With my camera, I can just stand anywhere and snap tons of photos to upload to my travel blog.”

“Traveling isn’t just about taking pictures.” Gongsun Ce shrugged and turned his head, “Anyway, you have plenty of time, so go wherever you want…”

Shiyu Ling was watching his profile.

The woman’s smile wasn’t as cold as usual nor did it carry her usual malice.

Instead, it had a touch of naivety and tenderness… like a young girl from her childhood, yet also like a truly reliable partner, beautiful and strong.

“I’ll bring you souvenirs,” she smiled and said, “And when I get tired of traveling, I’ll rest at your place and tell you about what I’ve seen and experienced.”

“Really?

I’m so excited.”

“Then one day, when you can finally leave the city of the sky…” she extended her pinky finger, “we’ll travel together.”

At this point, even Alandia would frown and scold him if he said anything bizarre.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce extended his finger and made a pinky promise with her.

“It’s a deal then.”

Shiyu Ling tugged at him like a child, released her grip, and stood up from the rooftop.

“Ah, there’s one more thing I need to ask for your help with.”

He was finally able to honestly say “please help me.” It really wasn’t easy.

“Feel free to tell me if there’s a problem.”

“You know, Creator Realm Mages usually have catchy titles…” Shiyu Ling counted off on her fingers, “Sky Extreme, Ming Guest, Gun of Punishment, Red Mage…

There must be a nickname; it’s a sign of being someone important!”

It’s just a nickname from the rivers and lakes.

Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, “You’re not telling me…”

“That’s right~” Shiyu Ling clasped her hands behind her back, looking down at him, “I can enter the Creation Realm only with your help, so I’m depending on you to come up with the nickname!”

“Don’t give me this difficult task of naming!”

“You’ve always said you’d help me, no backing out~”

So, Gongsun Ce stared at the moon above, scratching his ear and chin, thinking hard.

“Considering your Creation Realm is like a free Dreamland under the darkness of night, and you are from Zero Island…

I remember the gods here are called XXX Fate or XXX Venerate.”

“So?”

“How about Illusion Moon Venerate?”

Shiyu Ling clapped her hands and laughed, “I love this title!

Newcomers will think I belong to the Illusion Technique school and suffer a big loss in battle.”

“Judging from a pragmatic perspective!”

“The name sounds good too~”

The black-haired woman, pulling out two cans of beer from nowhere, tossed one to her partner.

She pulled the tab of the can and asked, “To what do we toast?”

“…”

Gongsun Ce looked at her face, momentarily transfixed.

He had seen the young Shiyu Ling, the desperate Shiyu Ling, the naive Shiyu Ling, the frenzied Shiyu Ling…

watching her transform from a self-loving villain into a free dream-chaser…

And as the woman raised her can to him, he realized that all of it was now the past.

Whether it was the bitterness of fate, the constraints of Shiyu Genmi, or her once fanatic heart, all had been turned into stepping stones under her feet.

Shiyu Ling was truly free, and he felt genuinely happy for the woman before him.

Now was not the time to bring up the past, the toast should be for the things she loves, the treasures she had gained.

Gongsun Ce opened his beer can, saying, “To dreams and the future.”

“Yes, to dreams and the future!”

Under the bright moonlight, the Impermanence Law Enforcer and the Superpower User clinked their bottles together.

They celebrated the momentary success, looking forward to the not-so-distant future.

Certainly, the future will have hardships, the road will have dangers.

Fate can never be smooth sailing, but they had not a hint of fear…

Because the dream of freedom, always resides in the heart.
