Chapter 565: Chapter 225: The Girl as Brilliant as a Ruby_2

The garden suddenly fell silent.

Yasiraqi was biting her luscious lips; her confidence and composure vanished, revealing a hint of unease.

She glanced at Siegfried approaching from a distance and quickly regained her usual composure and confidence as if no difficulty could overwhelm her.

However.

Siegfried noticed his daughter’s unusual behavior the moment he sat down at the table; he poured himself a cup of tea and then showed a teasing smile,

"Nervous?"

Yasiraqi did not speak.

Seeing this, Siegfried laughed, "So nervous that you dare not meet immediately, what an interesting reaction."

"It’s just preparing for a welcome party," Yasiraqi retorted with a grunt in defense, and Siegfried laughed even more joyously, finding his daughter’s embarrassed retort amusing.

Yasiraqi was angered, her cheeks puffed up, but there was nothing she could do about her father.

She couldn’t just beat up her own father.

...

The square.

A few pigeons landed on the edge of the fountain while the Goddess of Salvation threw crumbs from her hand, feeding the squabbling pigeons.

Xi Mu chuckled upon seeing this and then shifted his gaze to a tanned-skinned young woman approaching; she was dressed in a crop top and shorts with a dagger hanging on them, giving off a very energetic vibe.

"Hi, do you like pigeons too?" Jed sat down next to the Goddess of Salvation and greeted her very familiarly, without any awkwardness of a first meeting.

The Goddess of Salvation looked at this overly familiar woman with bewildered eyes and nodded lightly, "Pigeons, they are cute."

"I also come here to feed pigeons occasionally," Jed said without changing her expression, lying outright, her impression of pigeons was that they made a tastier soup than anything, and she lacked the aristocratic lady’s preference for keeping and admiring pigeons. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As a former mercenary, she wasn’t interested in pets, only in what tasted good or bad, and whether it was difficult to handle or not.

But it was a good way to start a conversation.

"But aren’t you worried coming here alone, miss?" She expressed her concern to the naïve Goddess of Salvation:

"The environment isn’t very safe these days."

The Goddess of Salvation instinctively glanced at her teacher beside her. Jed, following her instinctive action, confirmed Ahtal’s location.

She raised her hand to wave.

"Hello there, invisible sir."

"Since when did you become so scheming?" A gentle voice drifted into Jed’s ears, bringing a warm breath.

Jed tensed unconsciously, her toes curling slightly, but then she relaxed, confirming the unseen person was Ahtal—a voice she could never forget.

"Because I couldn’t be sure if you were here, boss; it would be really awkward to greet you and find you weren’t," she complained, extending a hand to the person next to her, and after some careful groping, she touched Ahtal’s face.

"Yasiraqi invited you to a private party."

"When?" Xi Mu, looking at Jed who was groping his cheek and widening her eyes, dispelled his invisibility.

From Jed’s perspective, it appeared as if Ahtal’s figure gradually became visible, smiling and making eye contact with her.

Their gazes met.

"At seven," Jed said smiling, then suddenly gave Ahtal an enthusiastic hug, burying Ahtal’s head in her chest.

She hugged very tightly, preventing Ahtal from breathing freely, with the unique fragrance of a young girl filling his nostrils.

The Goddess of Salvation, witnessing this scene, instinctively wanted to separate them, but seeing the excited and nostalgic expression on Jed’s face, she suppressed the urge to intervene.

While she was unclear about the relationship between the tanned-skinned young woman and the teacher, they must be acquaintances.

Moreover, with the teacher’s capabilities, it was impossible for him to be bound by humans.

"Boss, I thought you weren’t going to meet us," Jed complained, "even though you were already right beside us, you kept invisible."

Xi Mu didn’t speak; he was currently being tightly embraced by Jed, unable to utter a word.

However, he hadn’t specifically gone invisible, but had instead used the player’s power to keep himself in a detached state, thereby manipulating the world as if it were a sandbox.

This state was somewhat close to that of an extraterritorial demon, yet it wasn’t about distancing from the world, but rather manipulating the world after reaching a certain height.

And the so-called invisibility was merely an accompanying effect of being detached; as long as one reached a certain level of strength, one could perceive his existence.

Of course, he could also make specific entities aware of his presence.

A moment later.

Jed released the embrace, showing a sheepish smile, and scratched her cheek softly, "Boss, I think I got a bit... excited."

"Daring to embrace the boss freely, you’re quite bold," Xi Mu joked, then turned to the Goddess of Salvation beside him and explained:

"Her name is Jed, a very outstanding mercenary, and also a close friend of mine."

Having said that, he then introduced to Jed.

"Goddess of Salvation, she is my disciple, currently learning from me the ways to save the world."

"...learning the ways to save the world?" Jed’s expression stiffened slightly, then immediately returned to normal, reaching out her hand enthusiastically to greet the Goddess of Salvation.

She knew that the young girl beside her was the Goddess of Salvation, but upon hearing Xi Mu mention teaching the Goddess how to save the world, her first reaction was that Xi Mu was attempting to nurture someone who might kill him.

In this world, individuals capable of defeating the King of Ash hardly existed. Even the God of Omniscience had been defeated by the King of Ash. The King could turn the world into ashes anytime he wished.

But if the King of Ash did not wish to turn the world into ashes, and instead was looking forward to being defeated by someone,

then that was another matter entirely.

And at that moment,

"Did you hear it?" Suddenly, a conversation came from the side. It was a mature lady wearing a white hat.

She too was sitting at the edge of the fountain, speaking to her husband,

"The Goddess of Salvation has already been born. She is destined to save the world and will surely defeat the King of Ash."

"Is that so?" The man beside her smiled warmly. He did not discourage his wife’s hope, although he personally did not believe that the so-called Goddess of Salvation could defeat the King of Ash, but having hope was not a bad thing.

Now, he looked forward even more to the revived heroes producing a reliable plan. He had heard through various channels that past heroes had come up with relatively mature plans to save the world. If any of those plans could succeed,

then everyone could still live on.

Compared to placing hope in the so-called Savior, it was more reliable to place hope in past heroes who could offer relatively reliable strategies and solutions, rather than relying on so-called destiny.

...

The sky dimmed.

The last gleam of twilight disappeared, and the darkness enveloped every corner of the world.

"Do you smell the fragrance of the wine and food?" Jed stood in front of the door, her hand on the doorknob, grinning at the Goddess of Salvation, "This is a banquet meticulously prepared by the princess, something ordinary people could never taste in their lifetime."

Upon hearing this, the Goddess of Salvation’s eyes lit up, and seeing this, Jed smiled, exchanged glances with Xi Mu, then pushed the door open.

Cool air mixed with the fragrance of food rushed out, revealing a brightly lit room with a round table, laden with exquisite dishes.

But what captured everyone’s attention the most was the girl standing by the round table, clad in a red ceremonial dress. She seemed like a carefully polished ruby, drawing everyone’s eyes. Even the most critical scrutiny could hardly find flaws in the girl, instead feeling increasingly mesmerized.

"I was wondering whether to let Jed drag you in front of me," Yasiraqi elegantly quipped, her eyes reflecting Xi Mu’s figure.

She raised her wine glass.

"But it seems that won’t be necessary now."
