The Demonic Dragon's Entrustment (3)
A night of wind and snow.
The morning sun rose.
The whole world was clad in white, with a flush of red.
Atop a skyscraper, an orange cat crouched on the edge of the outer wall, intently gazing down below.
Behind him, a long sword like autumn water hung suspended in midair.
"Young master..." Mountain Girl's voice sounded in the orange cat's Sea of Consciousness.
"Hmm?"
"If we stay here and don't leave, will that have any effect?"
"What do you mean?"
"Barry is holding off the Soul Screamer right now. It's so powerful that I'm afraid Barry won't be able to hold out for long." Mountain Girl sounded worried.
The orange cat yawned, then instinctively licked its paw.
Wait—I'm not actually a cat. Why am I doing that?
The orange cat awkwardly drew its paw back and replied to Mountain Girl, "I entrusted Order to him only to separate the Soul Screamer from the demonic dragon. His abilities are an added safeguard, but he doesn't actually need to fight the Soul Screamer."
"Huh? Young master, I don't understand," Mountain Girl said, confused.
Without turning around, the orange cat asked, "Mountain Girl, if we returned to the past again, what point in time do you think I would go to?"
"Of course—"
Mountain Girl was about to answer when she suddenly realized.
That's right...
The young master only needed to return to the moment he left. At that point, Barry hadn't yet fought the Soul Screamer.
By then, the demonic dragon would have already left with the young master, leaving only the Soul Screamer behind.
From Barry and the others' perspective, Gu Qingshan would simply have suddenly run off, then suddenly returned.
But the demonic dragon would never go back to that point in time
