Key to Valhalla (Continued)

Moreover, in order to make the viewers feel the same way, Ling Yuan specially added a sense of oppression.

That overwhelming power was so overwhelming that even he, the duke, could hardly breathe, let alone others.

"No, we've already bothered you long enough. If we stay any longer, the king will be arriving soon," Ling Yuan joked.

Duke Kraes chuckled dryly.

He did not doubt Ling Yuan's words, because he knew they were true.

There must be quite a few people watching him from the shadows right now.

He'll probably be summoned once Ling Yuan and the others leave.

"Katarina is our friend, or rather, family. Please make sure to pass this message on," Ling Yuan said, looking at Duke Kraes.

It was both a request and a warning.

Duke Kraes was taken aback for a moment, then smiled gently, "Thank you all for taking care of my daughter. I will pass on the message."

Katarina looked up blankly.

What are the Group Owner and my father talking about?

Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan smiled and said, "Then we'll take our leave too."

"Goodbye, Ling Yuan and everyone."

Katarina greeted Ling Yuan and the group members cheerfully.

Goodbye, let's chat in the group if needed.

"Okay."

After seeing the group members off, Katarina turned around and found that everyone was staring at her.

What's wrong with you?

"Katarina, come find me again after you've thought things through."

After leaving a message, the Duchess departed.

"Why?"

Katarina wore a bitter expression and looked to Duke Kraes for help.

To everyone's surprise, the latter made a gesture of helplessness.

The meaning is clear: you have to deal with the mess you made.

It's going to get cold!

Seeing her father's expression, Katarina's heart sank.

Just as Katarina was thinking about how to explain this to her mother...

My clothes were suddenly tugged at.

Turning her head, she found Sophia looking at her hesitantly.

"Sophia, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, no, Miss Katarina, um, can we still be friends in the future?" Sophia asked cautiously.

A question mark appeared on Katarina's forehead.

He grasped Sophia's hands tightly. "What are you saying? We'll always be best friends, that'll never change!"

"Really? Really?"

"Of course."

"That's wonderful! I thought Miss Katarina would never speak to me again." Sophia cried tears of joy.

Upon seeing this, Aran and Gildarts exchanged a glance, then couldn't help but smile.

Gildarts couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, it's still that same Katarina."

'I worried for nothing.'

"Um?"

Katarina looked on with curiosity.

What are they laughing at?

The dimensional portal opened, Ling Yuan pounced onto the bed.

Smelling the familiar scent on the bed, Ling Yuan squinted his eyes, his movements of enjoyment as worm-like as a worm.

"Ah, bed, it's so comfortable, I've missed you so much."

"It feels like an eternity," Ling Yuan exclaimed as he lay in bed.

"Were you too tired from the previous battles?" Ranran asked with a smile.

"Yes, I was completely drained before I went to the battlefield."

Ling Yuan turned over, looked at Ranran by the bedside, and revealed a fox-like smile.

"..."

Thinking of the night before Ling Yuan went to the battlefield, Xia Ranran blushed.

I never imagined that her first time would be given away in this way.

"Brother Ling Yuan, if you mention it again, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

"I don't mention it, I put it into practice."

Seizing the opportunity, Ling Yuan hugged Ranran from behind.

"Ah!"

Ranran exclaimed in surprise.

"Stick?"

"No!"

"Rubbing?"

"No rubbing!"

"Then, shall we kiss?"

No, um.

Just as Ranran was about to refuse, Ling Yuan grabbed her chin.

He forced his head to turn and met Ling Yuan's gaze, who was at his shoulder.

"No stickers allowed, no freeloading. I've given you three choices. If you don't want the first two, you can only choose the last one." Ling Yuan chuckled.

As he spoke, he printed it directly onto the surface.

"..."

Click!

The door locks automatically.

"Eating alone again."

Kiana downstairs heard the noise, made a comment, and then went back to playing her game.

The world is vast, but games are the most important.

That's all for now, I'm going to stay up all night!

Sunrise in the East

A brand new second day has arrived.

Ling Yuan groggily opened his eyes, glanced at the time, and realized it was only eight o'clock.

Ling Yuan smacked his lips, found a comfortable position, and drifted back into sleep.

Then, Ling Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, looking blankly at the little girl who was lying on his arm like a doll, breathing evenly.

When did they run up here?

Ling Yuan glanced at Ranran beside him subconsciously and then fell into a daze.

What should we do? How do we explain this?

He didn't understand why Athena would suddenly appear here.

But this kind of thing must not be made public, otherwise he will definitely be despised!

Then

"Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei, are you there?"

Ling Yuan whispered to his right hand.

"?"

A question mark floated out from the scars on the arm.

Immediately afterwards, a small gray snake crawled out from inside.

Ophis was still groggy, and being woken up before he was fully awake was really unpleasant.

"Xiao Fei, do me a favor and help me get her away," Ling Yuan whispered.

Ophis turned his head curiously, only to see Athena suddenly fall silent.

This rise to power caught her somewhat off guard.

"Wife, I need your help urgently!" Seeing Ophis stunned, Ling Yuan immediately used his trump card.

Ophis: "!!!"

If you call me that, I'll get really excited.

Ophis instantly focused, flicked his serpent tail, and bound Athena to it, dragging her into the Contract Space.

"Brother Ling Yuan, what are you saying?" Ranran opened her eyes groggily.

A jade-like arm draped over Ling Yuan's body.

"It's nothing, I just woke up too. You must be hallucinating."

"It's still early, let's go back to sleep."

Ling Yuan concealed his guilt and, holding Ranran, drifted back to sleep.

Within the Contract Space

Ophis looked at Athena in silence.

How many lashes should someone who cheats on their partner receive?

It was past nine o'clock.

I've almost fully recovered the energy I used up last night.

Ling Yuan got up feeling refreshed and washed his face.

A good life begins at nine in the morning.

"Brother Ling Yuan, class starts at 10:15." Ranran's voice came from outside.

The advantage of Imaginary Space is that it allows you to teleport people back to their own house in the morning.

"They're here."

He answered, looked at himself in the mirror, and kissed the little snake on his right shoulder.

"Thank you for the morning, Xiao Fei."

"Mmm~"
