Showing Off in Public / Throwing Oneself into Someone's Arms

"Don't bother looking anymore, I'll stay here and have breakfast with you, Stargazer."

Before the two could exchange words, the unfamiliar male voice rang out again.

"..."

Rita and You Lan exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes, and looked towards the stream, where they saw Gwen waving at them from beside Stargazer.

"It seems we've been discovered, General You Lan."

Rita sighed and said to You Lan.

"Let's go. Now that we've been discovered, there's no point in continuing to cover it up."

You Lan nodded, sheathed her sword, and took the lead towards the stream.

However, Rita noticed that before You Lan walked out of the woods, she flicked something out of her fingertip, causing a strange sound in the forest.

Clearly, You Lan was not unprepared to face that unfamiliar powerful figure; she had called upon the troops behind her.

Rita, of course, wouldn't lag behind. After releasing the token, she followed in You Lan's footsteps, and the two walked side by side towards the stream.

"What are you doing?"

Upon seeing Gwen's sudden waving gesture, Stargazer, who was viciously biting the mucus in his mouth, was taken aback. Looking in the direction Gwen was waving, he saw two figures that were not unfamiliar to him.

"That's... Rita?"

And General You Lan?

After realizing that Rita and You Lan had found him, Stargazer quickly regained his composure after a moment of stunned silence, and his childish behavior, which had been somewhat childish due to anger, quickly returned to the demeanor befitting a crown prince.

When Rita and You Lan arrived, Stargazer, having regained his princely demeanor, rose to greet them.

"Rita, General You Lan."

"You Lan / Rita greets Your Highness."

Although they both had many questions in their hearts, Rita and You Lan could only suppress their doubts for the time being, given the presence of Gwen, a stranger, and the person in the Valkyrie Quicksilver who looked almost exactly like Crown Stargazer, and bowed to Stargazer.

After being helped up by the Stargazer, You Lan turned her gaze to Gwen and the other two who were looking in their direction from behind the Stargazer.

"Your Highness, may I ask who these three are...?"

"This gentleman is named Gwen, a reclusive master. These two are Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele, Gwen's companions."

Last night, we met by chance in the forest. After hearing that another Fierce Beast would threaten the world, Gwen used his cloud-riding skills to help me travel to various places and set up formations to deal with the third Fierce Beast.

When You Lan asked about Gwen and the other two, Stargazer quickly introduced them—

Stargazer was genuinely worried that the legendary, upright General You Lan might have a falling out with Gwen.

Good morning, you two. Would you like to have breakfast together?

Seeing that the two were looking at him, Gwen greeted them with a smile.

Rita and You Lan both refused.

Gwen, this reclusive master... is full of suspicious points, and they cannot help but treat him with caution.

Then, Rita and You Lan tried to pull Stargazer aside to discuss some important matters of the Empire, but Gwen stopped them—

"Gentlemen, I can roughly guess what you want to do, but right now, dealing with that third Fierce Beast is the most important thing."

Gwen spoke, he pointed to the distant ocean—

"Stargazer has already set up a preliminary formation, pinpointing the location of the third Fierce Beast's descent to the sea."

"!?"

Upon hearing this news, both Rita and You Lan were taken aback.

Before Stargazer left the palace, he had never mentioned such a thing to these trusted ministers who had entrusted him with the care of the young emperor.

"Your Highness!"

This time, even Rita's tone became a bit stern—

Even if someone is exceptionally gifted at Stargazer, they shouldn't have kept this a secret and acted alone without telling them.

Despite the stern gazes of Rita and You Lan, Stargazer remained calm and composed, gently waving his feather fan.

"I had previously calculated that this third strange beast was of extremely yang nature and needed to be suppressed with water."

The late emperor once told me on his deathbed that there was an altar in the sea that had been passed down from ancient times.

I then decided to place the final seal there, in order to completely eliminate the threat of the strange beasts.

"But even with Your Highness's exceptional intelligence, it is impossible for you to seal that beast on your own."

You Lan, who had personally led a large army to fight against alien beasts, looked serious as she refuted Stargazer. The iron-blooded aura brought on by her years of military service was unconsciously released, pressing down on the young and ignorant crown prince in her eyes.

Chapter 384. A Manifestation Before the Public.

"But after the two Fierce Beasts, the Huang Kingdom can no longer withstand the devastation of another strange beast!"

Faced with You Lan's stern rebuke, although he felt somewhat uncomfortable with the imposing aura emanating from this renowned general, Stargazer still straightened his chest, met You Lan's gaze, and stated his reasons.

Upon hearing the reason for Stargazer, both Rita, who had tacitly agreed with You Lan's statement, and the aggressive You Lan fell silent.

In the two wars against the alien beasts, the Huang Kingdom deployed more than 400,000 elite troops, and the casualties were unimaginable.

If it happened again, even if they won, the Huang Kingdom would probably still find it difficult to deal with the surrounding barbarians.

The Imperial Grandson, concerned about the nation's strength, Stargazer and wanted to resolve the calamity of the strange beasts on his own. As his subjects, they could not criticize him.

However, this was still too far-fetched. You Lan remained silent for a moment before preparing to speak again—

In any case, it's too irresponsible to entrust this kind of thing to a child Stargazer.

However, before You Lan could speak again, Stargazer took two steps back and came to Gwen's side—

"Moreover, even if I am unable to deal with that extremely yang beast on my own, Gwen is here to help."

With his help, I am certain I will be able to successfully seal that strange beast.

"?"

Seeing that Stargazer was using Gwen as a shield, You Lan and Rita couldn't help but turn their gazes to the reclusive master Stargazer had mentioned.

Even though Gwen had already demonstrated his extraordinary abilities to the two of them, those were beasts that could endanger the lives of all living beings, and they were not something that Gwen could deal with using the abilities he had previously displayed.

If Gwen doesn't reveal more of his power, even if it might lead to unpleasant consequences, the two will take away the Crown Prince, Stargazer, and prevent him from continuing.

"You little rascal, you always know how to seize an opportunity."

Faced with the two girls' probing gazes, Gwen chuckled and tried to pat Stargazer's head, but the girl instinctively dodged and gave him a warning look.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing this, Gwen found the girl even more adorable and waved with a smile.

"Careful!"

Sensing the terrifying aura, You Lan's pupils constricted. She grabbed Rita beside her and simultaneously unleashed another signal from her body—

Upon receiving their general's signal, the cavalry, who had been preparing on the forest path, charged out and headed towards the stream.

However, before they could pick up speed, the eyes of these battle-hardened elite guards were filled with shock.

However, this cannot be blamed on these elite troops.

After all, their commander also showed a similar expression of shock as he looked at the Corona Sword that suddenly appeared and was stuck in the ground, making people feel a tremor under their feet.

"This Corona Sword is my weapon."

Seeing that the Corona Sword had landed and achieved the desired effect, Gwen smiled and waved his finger.

In an instant, the Corona Sword, which had appeared in mid-air and crashed into the ground, trembled and suddenly rose up, swirling in the sky as Gwen's fingers danced.

Under the incredulous gazes of many, Gwen together as a sword and with a gentle swing, a sword aura that was exceptionally dazzling even in the morning sunlight was unleashed from the Corona Sword, which was slashing down simultaneously.

In an instant, the sword energy traversed a short distance and disappeared into the forest.

When everyone turned to look, they saw that the once lush forest, with only a few paths worn into it by footsteps, now had a straight road. The roadside was still lush and green, completely unaffected.

"..."

Seeing this, everyone—from the two light cavalry squads that had almost lost their will to fight after charging out, to You Lan and Rita who were questioning Gwen's strength, and even Stargazer who had used Gwen as a shield—was stunned.

Although Gwen did not demonstrate any terrifying ability to burn mountains or boil seas, anyone with a little common sense would realize that what Gwen was showing was in no way inferior to the former.

Even Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele, standing behind Gwen, couldn't help but marvel at the road leading through the distant forest.

"How are you two?"

Having finished his public display of divine power, Gwen sheathed the Corona Sword and looked with a smile at You Lan and Rita before him.

"Gwen... truly a reclusive master. Your Highness is fortunate to have his assistance; it is a blessing for His Majesty and for the Huang Kingdom."

Although it was still difficult to determine whether Gwen was stronger than the other beasts that had appeared, Gwen, who had already demonstrated power far beyond human capabilities, quickly put on a humble smile and sincerely complimented him in the face of Rita's display of strength far beyond human capabilities.

"If we could truly have your help, sir, even if another strange beast were to attack, there would likely be fewer casualties, and fewer broken families in this world..."

Upon hearing this, You Lan realized the current situation and quickly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Gwen smiled and gave the two of them a deep look—

"As expected, even so-called counterparts from another world have many differences."

Just as Theresa has a brilliant mind like the Stargazer, this General You Lan isn't as straightforward and honest as You Lan Dai Er.

That's true, after all, he's someone who frequents the imperial court.

With a sigh, Gwen looked down at the little Stargazer, whose face showed a thoughtful expression—

"Let's go, Stargazer, let's go and confront that strange beast—"

Try sealing it first, and I'll have Seele and Valkyrie Quicksilver help you.

If that fails, I will intervene and deal with that scoundrel.

"Gwen, since the beast has not yet appeared, why not wait a few more days?"

Although the Huang Kingdom suffered heavy casualties in dealing with the two strange beasts, it also gained a lot of experience.

"Sir, perhaps you'd be more confident if you considered these points?"

Seeing that Gwen was about to use the beasts for training, You Lan frowned.

However, considering the disparity in strength and their differing stances, You Lan could only offer this advice to Gwen.

"Thanks for the reminder, but never mind. We need to get home after we deal with that guy."

Gwen smiled, declined You Lan's suggestion, and looked at Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele beside him—

" Under the Valkyrie Quicksilver, Seele, don't be nervous. You both have potential far exceeding that of others; it's just waiting to be discovered."

Next, in dealing with that strange beast, I hope you can try to unlock the hidden power within your bodies. I will protect you.

Upon hearing this, Valkyrie Quicksilver and Seele nodded in unison without hesitation.

"Yes, I will, Gwen."

"Brother Gwen, Seele will try her best."

"Come on, Stargazer, let me see your skills."

Seeing that neither of the two girls was afraid of fighting, Gwen also looked at Stargazer.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Stargazer straightened up, gave a few instructions to Rita and You Lan beside him, and then pointed out the direction, letting Gwen him to the final battlefield.

On the underwater altar, the Stargazer successfully set up the formation.

Amidst the flashing flames, the strange beast, whose time had not yet come, appeared on the seabed.

But along with it came a girl's surprised exclamation.
