Chapter 1026: Since We're Here, Let's Eat Before We Go!
Sannomiya Airi knelt on the cold stone pavement, dressed in a white kimono.
A katana rested across her thighs.
To her left lay a pair of wooden clogs and a naginata.
Sannomiya Airi lowered her head. Her expression was sorrowful and grave, tinged with unwillingness, but there was nothing else she could do.
No matter how strong she was, she couldn't take another step forward.
That was because getting through the Heavenly Dao Shrine ahead required at least four people.
"Momoka, why couldn't you wait for me?"
Sannomiya Airi complained.
What was she supposed to do now?
Sannomiya Airi felt a little lost. Waiting here forever wasn't an option, but as for leaving...
She had endured nine rounds of Rule Pollution to make it this far. If she left now, all her effort would be wasted.
Even if she met up with Lin Baici afterward and came back, there wouldn't be enough time.
There was no way around it.
Even if Lin Baici and the others were incredibly powerful and could fight their way across Dragon Palace Island, there simply wasn't enough time.
Sannomiya Airi's resolve was crumbling. She looked up at the sky, ready to give up.
What friendship?
What love?
What future for Da Yao?
To hell with all of it!
From today on, I, Sannomiya Airi, will live only for myself!
Suzuka Momoka!
You're an idiot!
All sorts of curses swirled through Sannomiya Airi's mind when a shout suddenly rang out—in the language of the Nine Provinces, no less!
"Airi-chan!"
"Huh?"
Sannomiya Airi jolted.
By now, Dragon Palace Island was enveloped in the Dark Mist and had become a God Ruins. No sane person would come here.
But Lin Baici and the others...
They weren't ordinary people!
