Chapter 424: 417 Universe of Infinite Possibilities

In that instant, Ai Yi’s inexplicable restlessness vanished without a trace.

What replaced it were three words—What to do!?

The appearance of these words made Ai Yi involuntarily hug the pillow in her arms tighter, and her gaze toward Shane became incredibly guarded.

However, Shane merely returned her look with a smile.

"There is such a thing, right?"

The smile on Shane’s face was extraordinarily brilliant.

It’s just that brilliant smile, which only gave Ai Yi the urge to punch him hard in the face.

Under such circumstances, Ai Yi really wanted to say no.

But wouldn’t that be playing dirty?

What is playing dirty?

That’s something only children would do!

Therefore, Ai Yi couldn’t do such a thing.

"...Indeed, there is such a thing."

At that moment, Ai Yi answered reluctantly.

Immediately, Shane’s smile became even more dazzling.

"Then you should fulfill your promise, right?" Shane implied, "You are a Dragon Demon, standing at the top of the Demon Clan, how could you possibly break your word?"

Ai Yi’s eyes twitched fiercely.

This guy, really deserves a beating.

"...Of course, I won’t break my word, but you seem to have not fulfilled the agreement, right?" Ai Yi fell silent for a while, then said expressionlessly, "Don’t forget, the leader of "Mirage" has not yet been captured."

The implication was that Shane hadn’t fulfilled the agreement until he eradicated all of the Old Demon Clan associated with "Mirage."

Unfortunately, if that could send Shane away, then it would be underestimating him.

"At the beginning, the agreement was, as long as I go with you to Duke Sterling’s Domain and help you exterminate the Old Demon Clan Faction there, that would be it, right?" Shane said with a grin, "Now, I have already taken you to Duke Sterling’s Domain, and the Old Demon Clan Faction there is almost completely eradicated. Although the leader escaped, we also didn’t say that we must wipe them all out without leaving a single one, did we?"

Upon hearing this, Ai Yi was stunned.

Can it really be like this?

"Do you want to play dirty?"

Ai Yi blurted out these words.

"I think it’s you who want to play dirty, right?" Shane, staring at Ai Yi, said innocently, "To do you this favor, I have been through a lot this time. If it weren’t for the Holy Sword being reliable and getting to know Jade, in the end, we might have only been able to defeat Evil God Lillith released by "Mirage." Doing such a dangerous thing for you, and now you’re using excuses to shirk, isn’t that excessive?"

Ai Yi was instantly speechless.

Actually, what Shane said made sense.

The goal of "Mirage" was to free Evil God Lillith, to let the Evil God descend again and turn the earth into Purgatory.

Shane, encouraged by Ai Yi, went there to deal with the Old Demon Clan Faction, but ended up facing an Evil God that could rival a Demon in strength. If it weren’t for having the Holy Sword in hand and blessings for protection, it would indeed be an extremely dangerous situation with the likelihood of death high.

Although in releasing Lillith, Shane himself had also exerted some effort, and it was voluntary, the inherent danger of the event had not diminished by much.

Even if Shane didn’t intervene, with "Mirage’s" intentions, they would still release Lillith in the end.

Under such circumstances, Shane went through such danger, and the reward was just to look at what Ai Yi had been hiding behind the pillow she was holding all along. If Ai Yi used other excuses to evade, wouldn’t that be excessive?

"This time fortunately there was me, and Jade also performed well, ultimately returning successfully, which calmed Lillith down. Otherwise, if "Mirage" had succeeded, then, when they come swarming into the Demon Realm with thousands of Evil Creatures controlled by a Little Mage, causing chaos in the Demon Realm, the Demon Clan would really be in a bad situation."

Shane touched Lillith’s little head absently as he spoke, "But what’s the result? Someone else wants to play dirty, which is really heartbreaking, isn’t it, Lillith?"

Hearing this, Lillith, who was quietly listening to their conversation in Shane’s arms, continually nodded her little head.

Even though she didn’t know what was happening, nodding at this time was the right thing to do.

After all, the things Shane just mentioned weren’t completely unrelated to her.

"Mm-hmm."

Thus, Lillith could only keep nodding obediently.

And this undoubtedly made Ai Yi even more speechless, with nothing to say.

Seeing this, Shane delivered the final blow.

"Speaking of which, a certain Dragon Demon Lord besides pitching in at the last moment, didn’t seem to have lifted a finger from start to finish, right?"

Shane was almost directly pointing at Ai Yi’s nose, accusing her of not contributing.

"Who said that?" Ai Yi couldn’t help but retort, "Didn’t I help you by holding back Anima?"

"But that was just holding back." Shane was unmoved, "I risked my life on this side and in the end...sigh..."

Shane began to sigh, as if about to start complaining about society, about the times.

"You...you jerk..."

How could Ai Yi not understand that Shane was doing this on purpose?

Yet, Ai Yi couldn’t refute.

The reward was so disproportionate to the results, making Ai Yi stand on the losing side from the start.

"Sigh..."

And Shane kept sighing, as if he was planning to add another dose of strong medicine.

"Alright, stop pretending." Ai Yi couldn’t stand it anymore, extremely annoyed and helpless, "Showing you is enough, right?"

With those words, Shane’s helpless look and sighs all disappeared.

"Quick, quick."

Shane hurried eagerly.

He couldn’t help it, he was too curious, not knowing why Ai Yi and Vivian, among others, had been so secretive.

Ai Yi glared at Shane hatefully, hesitated for a second, then finally seemed to give up and sighed.

The next second, Ai Yi put down the pillow that had been in her arms all along.

And so, the universe, symbolizing infinite possibilities, was revealed.

"Wow!"

Lilith, who had always watched quietly, let out a sound of astonishment.

"Pfft!"

Shane’s eyes instantly bulged, and he couldn’t help spitting out a mouthful of saliva.

"I just knew..."

Annoyance filled Ai Yi’s voice.

In front of her, standing tall and clearly entering the sight of Shane and Lilith, her clothes were stretched upwards.

"This... this... this...!?"

Shane couldn’t believe his own eyes.

Lilith’s face was full of curiosity, wanting to reach out and touch, but was slapped away by Ai Yi.

Even Nadura, who had been secretly watching, covered her mouth in shock, staring at Ai Yi’s chest in disbelief.

That’s way too big, isn’t it?

"Could it be that you’re a ’baby-faced giant’...!?"

Shane couldn’t help but want to say something, but was stopped by Ai Yi.

"Bang!"

Ai Yi’s little fist slammed hard into Shane’s solar plexus, making Shane howl in pain and fall backwards onto the bed.

Lilith cried out in surprise and fell onto the bed as well.

As for Ai Yi, she had already hopped off Shane’s body.

"That’s why I hate being seen!"

Ai Yi, gripping her teeth, hugged the pillow she had put down without hesitation and placed it in front of her again.

"No!"

Shane covered his chest and subconsciously cried out, unaware of what exactly he was trying to retain.

The look of heartwrenching pain made Ai Yi speechless.

"Men..."

Ai Yi turned her head and walked away with disdain.

Lilith glanced at the departing Ai Yi, then at Shane, who was holding his chest and lying on the bed. After a moment, she left him behind and started chasing after Ai Yi with small steps.

Clearly, the little girl’s curiosity had been thoroughly piqued, and she wanted to study Ai Yi’s unbelievable figure.

Shane was still reminiscing about everything he had seen.

"How could this be...?"

Shane seemed unable to let it go.

Not just Shane, even Nadura, who had been observing in the shadows, had a look as if she had seen a ghost.

After dealing with the Dragon Demon for so many years, she had no idea that this little girl was harboring such a big dream.

It was even bigger than hers!

"How did the Dragon Demon develop like that?"

Nadura was almost at her wit’s end.

Not just Nadura, Shane too was baffled.

However...

"Hehe... hehehe..."

After a while, Shane couldn’t help but let out a silly chuckle.

Because, he had realized something.

He had struck gold.

He had thought she was just a Bronze girl, but she was actually a hidden champion.

"What a waste to hide such a figure!"

Almost without thinking and unaware of any impropriety, Shane made up his mind.

"I’ll have to find a way to see more of it."

How could one not indulge more in such an eye-pleasing sight?

Shane began to think seriously.

"This Hero..."

Nadura saw it all and knew what Shane was thinking; she felt speechless and helpless.

Only at this point did Nadura confirm something Anima had said.

"She was right, this Hero is indeed different from the previous ones."

It was not just a completely different personality; the environment and relationships around him were extraordinary as well.

Watching Shane, who was sitting on the bed and thinking deeply, Nadura remembered the scene where both Ai Yi and Lilith had sat in his arms without any resistance.

A Demon and a Goddess, comparable to a Demon, both so unguarded around this Hero, even deeply trusting, reliant, and even affectionate towards him, was indeed an eye-opener for Nadura.

Perhaps...

"The long-standing grievances between the Divine Race and the Demon Clan will be completely dissolved under the influence of this Hero."

Perhaps that’s when true peace will arrive?

As she thought, Nadura began to feel a sense of anticipation.

"Let’s see what impact you, from the Otherworld, will have in this era where the war has already ended."

Nadura’s beautiful eyes curved like crescent moons, looking absolutely charming.

Unaware, Shane continued to let his thoughts wander.
