After the Distant Harbor Speech ended, Distant Harbor erupted in a jubilant celebration of victory.

The citizens of Distant Harbor, the refugees of the Broken Isles, the soldiers, spellcasters, and architects who fought on the front lines of the evacuation, and the officials who coordinated the operation, were all celebrating enthusiastically.

But the true protagonist of this victory celebration is not here.

Danfeng Lucerne, the Maple Leaf Palace.

The aurora borealis shone brightly in the sky, visible across half the planet. The people of Danfeng Lucerne were also awakened by this celestial phenomenon. They looked up at the sky, discussing it amongst themselves, feeling uneasy and confused.

Tina, draped in a thick cloak, gazed towards the Distant Harbor from the Sky Garden. The Eternal Tranquility's Protection on her chest emanated warm, water-like ripples. This artifact, linked by fate, told her that her lover was safe, yet she still waited, not out of worry, but out of longing.

Hilmeria stood beside her, gazing at the sky, watching the magnificent orange-red aurora, which always gave the young swordsman a sense of awe. She clicked her tongue and suddenly sighed.

"Your father... he always misjudges people, and he always makes the wrong bets."

She already had a premonition of what was going to happen.

Kang De has won again.

Just like the Battle of Valentan, the Battle of Danfeng Lucerne, the Battle of Distant Harbor, each time the impossible was turned into possible... and the Grand Duke stood in the wrong position each time.

Tina said softly, "Father has done his best... He is the best father, to me, that's true. He is also the best monarch, to the Germany, that's true too."

The Sword Saint Cascading Snow shook his head and said, "Kang De doesn't think so."

"Father is so much like Kang De... Both kind, both principled, both willing to do things that outsiders can't understand." The princess sighed softly. "The only difference is that Kang De had more strength, methods, and perseverance than Father, while Father was just gritting his teeth and struggling, caught in a dilemma."

"Yes... he's had a tough time these past few years," Hilmeria said. "Instead of just standing here doing nothing, why don't we come with me and try to talk to him? He's probably going to become withdrawn again."

Tina was about to speak when she suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Then the Sword Saint Cascading Snow turned around.

A familiar figure walked towards us against the night breeze.

"Was the fireworks beautiful?" Kang De smiled, the ring on his left hand shimmering in the sunlight. "We won."

Tina had already rushed over and embraced Kang De tightly.

Ah.

Physics textbooks state that any change in shape that occurs when an object is subjected to an external force is called "deformation."

Teacher, if you could teach with such vividness and lifelike detail, my physics grades wouldn't be so terrible... It's clear that it's not that I can't learn it, it's that you didn't teach it well.

Kang De savored the beauty of this elastic deformation and placed his hand on Tina's slender and soft waist. The refreshing fragrance of her body filled his nostrils, and the soft jade in his arms was warm and wonderful.

He held the stunningly beautiful princess in his arms, gently stroking her cloud-like hair, feeling the burning worry, joy, and affection in his embrace, and whispered, "Everything is fine, all problems have been resolved."

Tina gave a soft "hmm".

Completely oblivious to being a third wheel, Hilmeria couldn't help but ask, "Did you create these aurora borealis—how did you do that?"

Kang De proudly declared, "This is the unique martial art of my hometown, the Solar Flare."

The False Solar Flare – converts aura into light energy, releasing a blinding flash. It's a martial arts-style flashbang used to temporarily blind the enemy, allowing for a surprise attack on vitals or an escape. It's a support skill, quite practical, but it also has weaknesses; it can even be defended against with sunglasses.

The True Solar Flare – a shell constructed with absolute strength using spatial locks, using a nine-megaton thermonuclear warhead completely imbued with Paradox Element as propellant, melting and propelling hundreds of tons of metal into a nuclear spear that pierces the heavens and earth, exploding into the sky, blasting apart the Starry Firmament Bridge, destroying the Star Palace, and shattering all demons and monsters in one blow, the aftershocks impacting the atmosphere creating an aurora visible across half the planet.

When you're out and about, learn to recognize genuine Solar Flare so you can protect yourself in an emergency.

The Sword Saint Cascading Snow looked at the sky again and sighed.

As a martial artist, she should have been curious and eager to challenge all the powerful forces in the world, but seeing the dazzling display in the sky, she didn't even have the heart to ask for details, "... Never mind, it's still Forbidden Spell, right?"

"That's one way to think."

Such power and scale are beyond the reach of Earth's technology and industrial capabilities.

"In short, the Broken Isles issue has been completely resolved. Those monsters, big and small, are all dead. The mastermind behind all this has received a sufficient lesson and has been deterred, and will not be able to make a comeback for the time being... The war has come to an end, and everything is over."

Kang De gently patted Tina: "Well, you two should discuss it and tell your father about this, or you can wait for the official intelligence from the Survey Corps in the Distant Harbor —but you should still tell him that the Emperor's proposal is best discarded like toilet paper; the content is all very good, but the Empire is unworthy."

He thought for a moment, then said, "I won't go, so he won't feel awkward or embarrassed."

While it's true that showing off and slapping others in the face is a thrilling experience, especially when you accomplish something brilliantly despite doubt and distrust, and then enjoy the incredulous and furious expressions of your enemies, that's something to be celebrated with a toast—but let's forget about Grand Duke Reknos. He's not a bad person, just a bit stubborn.

Upon hearing this, Tina buried her head in Kang De's chest and mumbled, "Let Auntie go."

The Sword Saint Cascading Snow looked at his niece with a subtle expression. "He'll cry, your father will cry."

Tina didn't answer, but hugged Kang De even tighter. "I don't care, Father isn't a child!"

"..."

"..."

The princess had now put everything behind her. She looked up at Kang De's face, which was so close to hers, her cheeks flushed and her eyes shining. "I want to hear the story of what happened during this time..."

Listen to every single detail...

She reached up and wrapped her arms around Kang De's neck, her hot breath escaping from her delicate lips as she said sweetly, "Kang De must be tired too... Shall we go back to the room and talk?"

"..."

"..."

The Sword Saint Cascading Snow said helplessly, "Hey, I'm still here!"

Tina remained silent, simply gazing intently at Kang De, her azure eyes rippling with emotion.

Kang De swallowed hard.

Even he could recognize such an obvious hint.

So... so...

But... but...

Kang De took a deep breath, a fierce glint in his eyes, and with powerful willpower, controlled himself, saying solemnly, "Tina, this kind of thing requires at least your father's blessing—I like you very much, and I also want to be closer to you, but we..."

Tina's expression shifted from surprise to confusion. Then, she looked into Kang De's eyes and pondered for a moment, "Does Kang De have something urgent that he needs to do as soon as possible?"

Kang De blushed slightly and nodded sheepishly, "... Yes."

"Is it important?"

"... That's true."

"Back to Distant Harbor?"

"No, it's not Distant Harbor."

Tina tilted her head and glanced at him a few times, a meaningful look flashing in her eyes. Then, a bright smile bloomed on her face, and she hugged Kang De: "You were in such a hurry to come all the way to tell me the news. You're so kind."

Kang De scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "Of course I'll tell you..."

Tina smiled and straightened his collar, "Go on your way, be careful, and come back soon."

Gazing at Tina's beautiful smile, for some reason, Kang De felt a sudden pang of guilt and remorse—ah, so beautiful, so understanding, and...

He looked conflicted and was about to leave when he suddenly heard Tina call out, "Kang De!"

Kang De subconsciously turned his head, a fragrant breeze greeted him, and a breathtakingly beautiful face suddenly came close, his lips touching his soft, warm lips, followed by a sweet, tender little tongue that darted in like a fish, clumsy but trying.

In an instant, Kang De was kissed firmly. Tina's arms wrapped around his waist. Her tall figure was similar to Kang De's, and they were evenly matched if she just stood on tiptoe.

She kissed Kang De passionately, her radiant golden hair, flowing like a waterfall, cascading down her cheeks from the intense activity and swaying gently with her head movements, obscuring her stunning profile. The sweet sensation, stimulated by the teasing of her tongue, exploded through her senses, stirring the most sensitive strings of her heart.

This experience was so much better than that confusing one in "Wang Xiaoman on Earth".

About thirty seconds later, Tina was the first to leave the battlefield. Her pink tongue gently flicked at the corner of her mouth, picking up a strand of saliva and pulling it back into her mouth. Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were smiling. Kang De, on the other hand, looked dazed and confused, as if he were in a dream, clearly not having had enough fun.

He was about to speak when Tina pressed her finger to his lips and chuckled.

"Isn't it something important? Hurry up and go."

She tilted her head and said with a smile, "This is the advance reward. Remember to come back and collect the rest soon!"

Kang De's face showed a conflicted and struggling expression, his expression constantly changing.

Tina's eyes sparkled with amusement, finding it quite amusing. She simply smiled as she gazed at him. Her lover's ardent gaze, his easily understood expression, and his rapid breathing all seemed utterly endearing to Princess Goth, filling her with both joy and pride.

Kang De took a deep breath, pulled Tina into his arms amidst her gasp, kissed her hard, then yelled, turned and ran, shouting, "Trump, you son of a bitch!"

He gave Tina one last look, pointed at her, and shouted, "You're taking advantage of her vulnerability! You wait!"

Then his body was swallowed by the Phase Gate constructed of endless darkness and disappeared.

Hilmeria's expression remained unchanged, but only the Sword Saint Cascading Snow herself knew that the frost power she had just summoned was slowly dissipating. She snorted, "You're wrong. There's another difference between him and your father... Wow, he actually ran away?"

Tina composed herself, concealing her seductive charm, and tucked her hair behind her ear, chuckling softly, "That means something really important has happened... You're quite impressive at always controlling your desires and knowing what's most important."

The Sword Saint scoffed, "Ugh, I can't stand it. So, in your eyes, he has absolutely no flaws, right?"

Tina lowered her eyes and slowly said, "No... there is still a little."

"What?"

The princess did not answer.

When she hugged Kang De, she smelled the scent on his clothes—two women's scents she wasn't familiar with... but that's normal, isn't it?

She gazed at the still-shining aurora in the sky; it was the power of her beloved.

Forbidden Spell sorcerer, renowned throughout the world and disdainful of emperors, such a remarkable figure is like the sun in the sky. Even without doing anything, he can attract countless admirers, followers, and lovers. Moreover, his kind nature often gives ordinary people a strange feeling—though it's not Kang De's fault, it's still quite annoying.

She turned around and smiled, "Auntie, would you be interested in going to Distant Harbor?"

Hilmeria asked warily, "What do you want to do?"

Bathed in the magical light of Maple Leaf Fort, which shone like moonlight, Tina smiled with fighting spirit.

"Of course, it's about making Distant Harbor remembers one thing."

Kang De, in the White Mist World, quickly wiped Kang De mouth and calmed himself down.

Then return to Earth.

It was already early morning in China, around seven o'clock. Kang De pushed open the bedroom door. His father was eating breakfast. When he saw a man suddenly appear in the house, Engineer Kang sprayed out his soy milk, splattering white liquid all over the table.

"Wow, you're already fifty, and you're still so energetic this morning. Your blood flow is quite strong," Kang De clicked his tongue. "It's just a bit thin, though. Engineer Kang, you need to replenish your fluids."

Papa Kang grabbed a fried dough stick and started hitting it. His mother, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise and saw her son. Her face lit up with a mixture of surprise and joy. She threw off her gloves, rushed to the living room, and grabbed Kang De.

"How did you get out? Teleportation? A teleportation array?" Teacher Li pulled her son towards the bedroom. "Come on, let me see it again! Kang Jinzhu! Give me my phone!"

"..."

Kang De retorted angrily, "How old are you to still make me perform—didn't we already see that last time!"

"Can't I look a little longer? Your mother raised you with so much care, it wasn't easy for her. You've really made something of yourself, so what's wrong with letting me see your talents? I forgot to take a picture last time!"

Teacher Li said happily, "Other people's children all have special talents when they're young, like playing the piano, singing, or dancing. When I visit their homes, their kids are always asked to perform. It's so wonderful to watch; I'm so envious! Look at you, you've never learned anything good since you were little. If I ask you to perform something, you pull out your old table and immediately want to demonstrate how to make explosives, or you bring over your dad's rabbit and say you want to perform a live dissection..."

She took the phone from Engineer Kang and clicked her tongue, saying, "Now I finally have a skill that's not shameful or conspicuous. Showing it off will scare those old women to death..."

"..." Kang De said helplessly, "I'm hungry."

"Okay." Teacher Li opened her phone. "Let's begin."

"Mom, I want to eat breakfast."

"I didn't prepare any food for you. Go out and buy some steamed buns after your performance," Mama Kang urged. "Hurry up."

Wow, so heartless?

"Wow, who is it that stays out all night, never answers the phone, and is just a layabout? You're a social idler, and you don't even go through customs when you enter the country, do you know that's illegal?"

Teacher Li said sarcastically, "You only think of coming back for food when you're hungry? In the old society, your father and I could hang you up and beat you to death, and it wouldn't be considered a crime."

Kang De retorted proudly, "I have nothing to say about anything else, but you say I'm neglecting my duties? I disagree! Do you know who your son is? A righteous superhuman! What does he do all day? Fight evil and promote good, combat crime, and build a better future for the Earth—a great undertaking!"

Mama Kang looked at her son and asked, "That righteous superpowered guy, how many girlfriends do you have?"

Kang De leans back tactically. "Of course there are many!"

The other person scoffed, "Besides your phone, computer, brain, and those women you unilaterally call 'wife' when they have no idea who you are, what else do you have?"

Papa Kang added insult to injury, "Stop talking about him, it's useless. Let's have a second child."

Kang De's expression darkened. "I..."

Before he could speak, Mama Kang waved her hand listlessly, turned around, opened the door, walked to the neighbor's door, knocked on the door, and called out, "Xiaoman, Xiaoman! Kang De is back! Take him to have breakfast!"

A dozen seconds later, Uncle Wang's door was suddenly pushed open, and Xiaoman, with her messy hair, poked her cute Xiaoman head out. Her still sleepy eyes saw Kang De's figure.

Then, a beautiful smile bloomed on her face.

"Wait for me for ten minutes!"

The door slammed shut, and Xiaoman's shouts echoed down the corridor.

Kang De said helplessly, "Why call her... she must have stayed up very late last night."

As soon as he finished speaking, his parents glanced at their son, then shook their heads and sighed.

"What's wrong now?!"

Despite the banter and laughter, Kang De's smile was sincere and peaceful. The tension from the previous turmoil and war gradually dissipated, and no matter how fierce the storm raged in the other world, Earth remained a tranquil haven.

Ten minutes later, he and Xiaoman strolled downstairs in the residential area and headed towards a breakfast shop outside.

Xiaoman didn't ask him where he went. Instead, she chattered on about the interesting things happening here, the unexpected stories on Weibo, the silly news about anime fans, and so on.

"Oh, by the way, Xiao An went on a trip to Europe and wanted me to come along."

Kang De, puzzled, asked, "Who?"

"Xiao An, An Youyi," Xiaoman said, glancing sideways, "You haven't forgotten, have you?"

Kang De suddenly realized... The unexpected witness to Xie Guangjun's incident, the older sister-type rich second-generation who dressed in a very dark nightclub style, was somewhat frightened at the time, and he and Xiaoman even went to comfort her.

Xiaoman explained, "Ever since that incident, she's been a bit down. She was bored staying at home, so she wanted to travel abroad to change her mood... Sigh, I saw her a few days ago, and she's changed a lot."

Kang De casually asked, "Why aren't you going?"

Xiaoman glared at him but didn't say anything.

"Oh, oh, oh, so righteous, so truly righteous!" Kang De exclaimed hastily. "That's really something!"

Looking at Xiaoman's cloud-like black hair and that reproachful glance, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He thought for a moment and said, "How about we go out and have some fun these next couple of days?"

"Great!" Xiaoman's eyes lit up. "Where to? Where to?"

Before Kang De could answer, Xiaoman's phone vibrated. She answered, and Uncle Wang's voice came through the receiver. "Is Kang De there? Let him answer the phone!"

Xiaoman looked at Kang De, Kang De picked up his phone.

A huge number of missed calls, densely packed together.

This is why Kang De had to return to Earth.

A thermonuclear bomb with a yield of 9.3 million tons is enough to make the major countries of this planet speculate wildly and even have unfounded suspicions...

--Any suspicious person.

PS2: By the way, has anyone played Genshin Impact? Is it fun?
