Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 502 - 263: Under the Blue Sky

Li Ang was fine, or rather, with the experiences of two worlds combined with the adventures Nebis had over the years, he had seen quite a bit of this kind of thing.

Unlike him, Farina smiled, looking at everyone with the same kind of comfort one would have watching children.

The rune remnants left by the divine wood sentinel, according to the system’s description, were still a material called "Eternal Iron," just below refined source material. It came from the "Eternal Furnace," a place unknown to them, or perhaps another name for the Creation Cauldron?

Just in case they could be used, Li Ang put them in his dimensional rift.

The young girls stayed by the side of the disheartened Diana, and the Star Soul of the Creation Tree was perhaps very low-spirited because it recalled ancient matters, so they surrounded her and whispered softly.

Once given a chance to rest, Li Ang sat down at a wooden table nearby, where a Moon Concealing Rabbit was lying.

"How long have you been lying there?"

"All along, these matters have nothing to do with me."

"You’re really heartless."

"Things like this are as natural in the world’s progression to the Six Dragons supporting the world as watching white clouds roil every day," said the Moon Concealing Rabbit as if it were an indifferent passerby.

"The splendor of the Dragon Blood Empire built on countless massive islands, the floating city of the Stargazers, the rise and fall of human conquerors, these things are all fleeting."

After saying this, it closed its eyes again.

Hmm, now it’s a bit like a divine spirit. Unfortunately, rolling around on the ground earlier made it hard to respect.

Li Ang stretched lazily and found a lounge chair to lie down on.

Once Diana’s mood recovered, the young girls’ water-playing time began again.

However, the excitement was much less, and it’s estimated that in another day or two at most, they would be back on the road.

The laughter and noise in the ear ebbed and flowed, while Li Ang and Farina chatted idly about the past, Otto didn’t come to find them, and time seemed to slow down drastically.

"Speaking of which, do you know where Kitan is?" Farina asked.

Kitan was also an old member of The Soul Apex and one of Li Ang’s best friends.

"After retirement, didn’t he return to his hometown?"

Given Farina’s question, Li Ang felt a bit awkward because he indeed hadn’t visited old friends in the past few years in the new Soul Apex, as he was too busy; time slipped away quickly.

"His hometown seems to be an unknown small island..." Li Ang spoke with less conviction.

"He’s now in Thousand Tower City," Farina smiled.

"Why?"

"Maybe he needs money? Anyway, he’s applied to become a school professor."

"What’s going on?"

Li Ang scratched his head, as he had also been recruited, maybe these school types were starting to value adventurers?

Kitan was also a strong caster. Though he was in the Transcendent Realm, he had mentioned before that due to certain incidents, he had been injured before joining The Soul Apex, which caused him to fall from the Excellence Realm, though he didn’t reveal the specific details.

"Which school do you think it is?"

"With that kind of question, is it one of the Three Major Schools?"

"It’s Mistrem."

"Oh, it’s that place, but it suits him."

In the past, without a system, Li Ang wasn’t able to check others’ panels. Kitan always claimed to be a priest, though Li Ang thought he didn’t seem like one, yet he could indeed use priest spells, so everyone thought so.

"That’s a good thing." Li Ang added, "Thousand Tower City was initially one of our destinations on this journey, so having old friends help would be great."

"Actually, there’s one on the next island too."

"What do you mean?"

"The City of the Ship’s Rudder, where Xiaomo’s Fellowship of Fortunate Stars is primarily stationed."

Li Ang paused for a moment.

He actually knew this information. Previously, he was focused on helping The Soul Apex raise its ranking, so he knew where the front-row teams were, and where the old friends were.

But perhaps it was because there was never a chance to find them or never had this thought, so he didn’t connect these things in his mind.

"Turns out you all stayed in touch, and I’m the one out of the loop."

"Because you’re busy, and we also haven’t figured out how to face Li Ang, who’s still in The Soul Apex."

"Try visiting him when the time comes."

Li Ang slowly laid back down.

In the distance, quick footsteps approached his field of vision, and Zoe poked her head out, with a delicate face and a bright smile that lifted one’s mood immediately.

While looking down, her chestnut hair fell beside her ears, adding extra charm.

"What’s up?"

As soon as Li Ang asked, she climbed onto the lounge chair and straddled him.

"Wait, you..."

Li Ang turned his head to look at Farina, and this red-haired woman had already turned her face to the other side, as if pretending not to see what was happening here.

"I just remembered," Zoe leaned down, "we talked about applying sunscreen earlier."

Originally, there was no need in the tree canopy, but after the explosion of the divine wood sentinel’s power, the cloud mist here had dissipated a lot, and its natural magic made the place warm, rendering the sun much stronger.

Zoe was all wet from her swimsuit and body, soaking Li Ang entirely, especially where the chest and abdomen touched, her delicate and cold skin swiftly drove off his drowsiness.

The previous contact made it difficult for him to suppress himself now.

Zoe, feeling that her position was uncomfortable, slightly shifted, feeling a sudden strangeness, and with her newfound knowledge, her face flushed, unsure of what to do for a moment.

Li Ang sat up, holding her by one shoulder, almost pulling her against his chest.

"Don’t fall; use some strength, come now."
