Before the Battle

Inside the cave, due to the dim light, two Black Shadow could be seen moving constantly on the wall...

It keeps moving...

It's just a pity that Tang Miao, who was comforting Heidi, didn't notice...

Night.

The two then emerged from Feren Waterfall.

It was during their previous conversation that Tang Miao learned that the reason Apas had entered the waterfall to cultivate again was because she had awakened her fourth element.

Unsurprisingly, the fourth element remains the Summoning Element within the dimensional realm.

Heidi is now a Super Level Mage, and after the recent magical discussion, Heidi has become even stronger.

Because of her powerful talent, she also grasped the secrets of the "fusion" magic.

Although she's not yet proficient, she should be able to adapt quickly based on Tang Miao's "instructions."

Dimensional Magic is inherently more powerful than elemental magic in the later stages, especially when God Realm is high enough; the destructive force it unleashes is in no way inferior to Lightning Fire.

Heidi doesn't possess as many magical abilities as Tang Miao; she only studies Dimensional Magic, and even when she delves into fusion, she has her own understanding of it.

In the future, her achievements will definitely not be inferior to those of Mu Ningxue and Asha Ruiya.

Even if we only consider magic, he might surpass them.

There are far too many dimensional paths, Tang Miao only used his dimensional abilities to travel, so his attack power was just so-so.

Heidi, on the other hand, focused entirely on output.

But whether she can forge her own path in magic is something Tang Miao doesn't know.

At this point in my life, how I proceed is entirely up to me; no one else can offer any guidance.

Although everyone's magic system is exactly the same, there are thousands upon thousands of advanced magic paths, and within these, there are various different variations.

It can be said that magic, once it reaches the higher levels, is no longer confined to any single form.

After spending a day with Heidi in the cave, his mood improved considerably.

After Heidi's earnest persuasion, he realized he had been making a fuss over nothing.

Blanche is like this precisely because of the influence of her childhood environment before coming to the Alps Academy.

But she definitely wouldn't tell me these things.

In truth, the person who hurt her the most was Tang Miao.

Fortunately, I left Apas to look after him when I left, so there shouldn't be any problems.

When the two arrived at Blanche's residence, Apas opened the door, but only let Heidi in.

"Go back, it's not convenient for you to come in here," Apas, blocking the doorway.

"Damn... Apas, do you even know who you're on?" Tang Miao was speechless. This snake woman, had she forgotten the "whip" she received on the way here?

"Get out! I don't want to see you!"

"You won't take my child away!"

"..."

Before Apas could say anything, Blanche's voice rang out in agitation.

Clearly, they had been provoked before.

"Um, I was rude before, please don't hold it against me, I'm just looking and won't do anything..." Tang Miao pushed the door, not with much force, but not enough to push Apas out.

Although Apas wanted to help Blanche, her strength simply wouldn't allow it...

As for Heidi?

This woman had already eaten her fill and didn't care at all where Tang Miao went tonight...

"I have nothing to say to you, I hate you!" Blanche replied resolutely.

Suddenly, Tang Miao transformed into a shadow and entered the room, arriving at Blanche's side.

When Tang Miao suddenly appeared, Blanche was truly frightened.

For a moment, I was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"I was wrong before, but I think my intentions were for your son's good. Besides, you can't deny me just because you hate me. He's not just yours; he's the product of our relationship, isn't he?"

The previous attempt to force her way out of trouble failed to vent Blanche, so she must have all sorts of grievances against me. Combined with the previous provocation, she's probably now completely erupting.

If I leave now, this knot will probably never be untied.

So how could he leave?

Looking at Tang Miao so close to her, and hearing him speak, she could feel a stimulating aura emanating from him. For a moment, Blanche lowered her head shyly.

Tang Miao stood outside the door, incredibly arrogant, but when Tang Miao appeared before her... Blanche found herself seemingly devoid of any temper?

Seeing this, Tang Miao turned around and waved to Apas and Heidi.

How could the two women not know what this guy was up to?

However, seeing Tang Miao's very serious expression, they didn't seem to care much.

Fortunately, Heidi was full, and Apas wasn't hungry, so they obediently left.

Of course, Heidi and Apas also took Tang Yan with them when they left...

When Blanche finally mustered the courage to raise her head, she realized that she and Tang Miao were the only ones left in the room.

Apas, Heidi, and their son have all disappeared!!

She wasn't worried about Tang Yan, but right now she was more worried about herself.

Tang Miao sat down next to her, and upon seeing this, Blanche turned her head, closed her eyes, and backed away.

Her first reaction wasn't to push Tang Miao out...

This was really tough on him... Heidi was full, and he wasn't hungry at all! Didn't he understand what Blanche was trying to say with this expression?

"Blanche, it was my fault before, but now that you've decided to give birth to him, it means you don't deny our relationship, does it?"

Although he looked distressed, he was still very gentle at this moment, and there was even a hint of expectation in his words.

Seeing that Tang Miao wasn't attacking her directly, but instead talking to her, Blanche suddenly felt somewhat ashamed...

What is she expecting?

Could it be... that she has this kind of peculiar fetish??

"I... um~"

Tang Miao is a hardworking person. Whether it's day or night, as long as there's a need, he may complain, but he secretly loves it.

His Blanche was complicated, but it must be said that Tang Yan felt she was an important figure in easing tensions between them.

Without him, Tang Miao didn't think he would have had a chance to communicate with Blanche again.

He finally understood one thing: this woman didn't seem to hate him that much...

And...

Whether it was his imagination or not, Blanche also longed for it.

Upon realizing this, he wanted to tell Blanche, "If you need my help, just say so. Is that a request I could refuse?"

In the other room...

Heidi and Apas were looking after Tang Yan.

However, the two women weren't paying much attention to Tang Yan at the moment; instead, they were more focused on Blanche and Tang Miao.

"Apas... are you really sure you're alright? What if Teacher Blanche rash?"

When Heidi went in earlier, Apas secretly told her to let Tang Miao and Blanche have a private talk.

Otherwise, their relationship would likely continue to deteriorate indefinitely.

Although Heidi was initially a rather possessive woman, she felt somewhat guilty when she thought about how she had caused Teacher Blanche to get involved in this mess. So, she felt better knowing that Tang Miao could make amends.

So she agreed, but she was still worried; she was genuinely afraid that Blanche would get hurt again.

"Sister Heidi, don't you believe me?" Apas asked back.

"No...no...it's just...you know why Teacher Blanche left without saying goodbye," Heidi explained.

"Sigh~ Although I'm not human, it seems you don't understand women as well as I do, Heidi."

"???"

Ti looked at Apas with some confusion.

"If Sister Blanche really hated Tang Miao, do you think this little guy would exist?" Apas asked, pointing at Tang Yan.

"Then... why Teacher Blanche so emotional?"

"She just hasn't seen things clearly yet. If Tang Miao hadn't appeared, things might have changed over time. But with his visits, Sister Blanche's heart has long been in turmoil," Apas continued to explain.

Having mastered psychic abilities, she had actually sensed it during her conversation with Blanche. It's just that Blanche herself didn't realize it.

"Hmm~"

Just then...

They heard a nasal sound, Apas pointed to the wall and said, "Got it?"

Heidi was even more confused. Teacher Blanche always seemed to harbor such intense hatred when she mentioned Tang Miao, so how could...?

However, what puzzled Heidi even more was how Apas could see it all, while she herself knew nothing at all?

"Apas, aren't you Medusa? How do you know people so well...? Teacher Blanche?"

"Spend time with this jerk, and you'll understand women too," Apas said meaningfully.

"Why do you say that?" Heidi asked again.

"Because I know everything about the women he knows, how they communicate, and their situations... The more you see, the more you naturally understand."

"What!!"

Upon hearing that Tang Miao had other women, Heidi immediately stood up and asked with a serious expression, "He has other women?"

"Yeah, what's the big deal?" Apas said nonchalantly.

"This... he lied to me..." Heidi said, sounding a little aggrieved.

She had never been to Moon Snow City and was unaware of the other women's existence. Although she had suspected it, she was still somewhat angry upon learning it for the first time.

"It's nothing, unless you can be heartless and leave him, it's best to pretend you don't know anything," Apas advised.

"Hmm~"

"..."

Heidi was about to speak when she heard another nasal sound, and this time it seemed exactly like the feeling she had when she rode a camel years ago, afraid of disturbing everyone...

She then came to Tang Yan, reached out and pinched his little cheek, but she didn't use any force, just pinched it gently.

"You brat, if you ever dare to act like your dog of a father, I'll chop you up!" Unable to get revenge on Tang Miao, Heidi could only turn to Tang Yan.

Even when Blanche was around, Heidi liked to play with him, but she was just loud and fierce; in reality, she couldn't bear to hurt him.

Tang Yan saw his stepmother glaring at him, but instead of being scared (perhaps he didn't understand), he happily reached out for a hug...

Heidi snorted, "I'm angry because I won't hold you. Your dog of a father spoils you, and now he has to spoil you too?"

"Waaaaah~~"

Although I didn't understand what the stepmother was saying, the little one immediately started crying when she stopped holding him. Yes, not crying tears, just crying out loud...

Upon hearing his crying, Heidi quickly reached out and said, "Sweetie, don't cry, don't cry, Mommy was just joking with you..."

The moment he was picked up, Tang Yan stopped crying and then started chuckling softly to himself.

Heidi was speechless...

This was clearly not the first time she'd been scammed, but she was particularly upset today.

Seeing this, Apas thought to herself, "Sure enough, like seed, like root..."

The next day.

After a night of mediation, the relationship between Tang Miao and Blanche finally eased.

Although Blanche was still verbally angry, her attitude had clearly changed.

However, this change occurred after Apas and Heidi arrived, and he was kicked to the ground...

Seeing Tang Miao kicked to the ground, Apas, who was holding Tang Yan, started dancing with joy, seemingly finding it very amusing.

Blanche actually felt a tiny bit of regret after Tang Miao kicked her to the ground...

There's always this feeling that it's something you use and then discard?

But for some reason, I feel really happy...

But seeing the amused expressions on Apas and Heidi's faces, she felt a little shy.

My son, who is usually my most important son, doesn't seem so important today...

I haven't seen it all night, and now they're not even thinking of bringing it over.

Tang Miao stood up and pinched Tang Yan's cheek. "What are you so excited about? Your dad made a fool of himself, and you're that happy?"

Having just reconciled with Blanche, naturally the only fault to find lies with someone who knows nothing.

However, this time he only pinched him gently. He couldn't help it; he didn't want to upset Blanche by teasing the little guy.

But Tang Yan, showing no mercy, suddenly burst into tears...

Tang Miao was completely dumbfounded!

You have to understand, he really didn't use any force at all. Most importantly, this is his own child; how could he possibly harm him?

Blanche heard the child crying and hurried downstairs.

Upon seeing this, he quickly explained, "I really didn't use any force..."

"He...he's just hungry." Blanche knew that, of course; she was watching from behind.

Moreover, this was Tang Yan's mealtime, and as Blanche fed him on time every day.

But today...

It's already a minute late.

Tang Miao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Blanche took Tang Yan from Heidi's arms, and was about to feed him when she stopped. Looking at Tang Miao, she said, "You... you go out first."

"???"

This is outrageous. If they knew it wasn't him who made them cry, why did they let him leave?

Blanche blushed and said, "I want to give it to him... You can go out first."

This woman has gone a bit too far!

It's just feeding the baby, isn't it? Has he never seen it before, or never tasted it before? Is it really that big of a deal?

Moreover, Blanche was now engaging in a self-deceptive tactic, but in the end, he didn't continue the stalemate over this trivial matter, because the boy was crying even harder.

"Apas, come out here too, give me a rub on my back." Tang Miao had no choice but to turn around and walk outside, muttering, "I just got kicked and hurt myself."

Apas rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Ha, useless man."

Tang Miao, who had just stepped outside, almost lost her balance and fell again upon hearing these words.

This is not the time for that Little Snake Girl to beg for mercy like yesterday!

Moreover, he discovered that since arriving at the Alps Academy, this Little Snake Girl had become increasingly disrespectful to him...

The day passed quickly without any argument.

Tang Miao was actually quite enjoying himself. With three beautiful women by his side, nestled against the mountains, and his feet resting on firm, bouncy, jelly-like buttocks, what a blissful life!

Unfortunately, he was destined not to be someone who could enjoy life. He would have to go to the Holy City tomorrow, no matter what.

Blanche looked at Tang Miao, who was resting her head on her pillow. Come to think of it, she never imagined such a day would come...

"Stop stepping on me, I'm tired and need to rest!" Apas glared at Tang Miao, looking quite ashamed and indignant.

"I'm not tired, why are you tired?" Tang Miao asked casually.

"Please, have some decency!"

Apas was filled with regret when she told Tang Miao that she could cultivate with his help.

This bastard is now getting revenge on her for her previous complaints, and he's been giving all the energy he needs to Heidi and Blanche, all under the guise of. "You're still young, this is for your own good!!"

Absolutely despicable!

Moreover, not only did she not get the energy she wanted, but she was also receiving special treatment. You can imagine how frustrated Apas must be right now...

"Tang Miao, are you still determined to go to the Holy City tomorrow...?" Heidi asked, coming to Tang Yan's side after coaxing him to sleep.

Blanche looked slightly puzzled upon hearing Heidi's words. "What are you going to the Holy City for?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

In Tang Miao's mind, the Holy City was originally a place where the enemy was weak and incompetent.

But these past few days, everyone's been saying that the Holy City is not to be trifled with... making it seem like the Holy City is really that powerful?

Even if the angels of the Holy City are powerful, am I really that weak?

He's not someone to be trifled with either!

With his current strength, plus the demon within him, even Middle Emperor would probably be no match for him, right?

So he didn't want to explain anymore; women, they're just troublesome.

Seeing that Tang Miao wouldn't speak, Blanche had no choice but to ask Heidi.

Heidi, of course, didn't hide anything and translated exactly what Tang Miao had told her to Blanche.

Upon hearing Blanche...

Her expression changed slightly, and she sat up abruptly. Ignoring Tang Miao's emotions, she continued to scold, "You're a mother now, don't you ever consider the consequences before you act?"

In Blanche's heart, Tang Yan was naturally the irreplaceable number one.

She cannot accept anything that is detrimental to her son!

If Tang Miao really has something going on with the Holy City Angel, what will happen to Tang Yan?

She didn't think she could protect the child...

Even if she tried her hardest, she couldn't do it.

While others might not know much about the angels of the Holy City, Blanche, who had lived in this Alps Academy since childhood, had heard of them to some extent.

When angels enforce the law, they show no mercy whatsoever to any life. If Tang Miao could truly overwhelm the angel, all would be well, but if he lost, what would happen to Blanche and Tang Yan in the Alps Snow Mountain?

Without a pillow, Tang Miao had no choice but to sit up.

Looking at the agitated Blanche, he explained, "Don't get so worked up. I might not even get involved, and if things really get out of hand, I'll definitely run out and get you out of here."

"Leave? We've offended the angels who hold the power of life and death over humanity. Where can we go? Are you planning to make our child a fugitive for the rest of his life?" Blanche retorted.

Previously, Tang Miao indeed had no reservations.

But unfortunately...

Blanche's few words suddenly made him somewhat "afraid" that such a thing might happen.

Yes... he's immortal, but what about them...?

Tang Yue and the other girls might be fine in Huaxia, but what about abroad?

Blanche, Wangyue Qianxun, Heidi, Asha Ruiya, and Ailin... Although they each have their own powerful backers, if I can't afford to offend them, then what are they compared to the Holy City?

You should know that some angels, when executing those who violate magical covenants, never care whether there are any innocent people involved...

As for what sanctions will be imposed, that's even less likely.

They are the ones who drafted the treaty, so how could they be punished by the treaty they themselves created?

The more Tang Miao thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Sure enough, once you have someone to rely on, it's like having a weakness...

He shook his head, deciding he didn't want to think about it anymore. Sometimes, overthinking isn't a good thing.

Most importantly, he might not actually fight, and even if he does, he might not lose. And even if he does lose, he won't die!

If things get really bad, we can just take them back to Huaxia.

As long as I hide back in Huaxia, what can an angel do?

Besides, among the angels, there might be someone with whom he has an ambiguous relationship!

Seeing that Tang Miao remained silent, she assumed he had been persuaded by her. Blanche's tone softened slightly. "You killed so many high-ranking members of the Magic Association, and now that the Holy City Angels haven't come looking for you, why are you deliberately going to their doorstep? Can't you just behave yourself?"

"Blanche, you're not a child anymore, don't be so naive. Do you really think that matter is over and done with?"

"Regardless of Su Lu's ambitions, the power I used when I killed Su Lu was already on the angel's kill list."

"It's just that afterwards, the Magic Association from the four continents came to besiege me, and I took care of six of them. Plus, with the ongoing unrest around the world, they haven't come after me. But if you think that's the end of it, how could that be?"

Tang Miao sighed as she spoke, "They'll come for me sooner or later. Surrendering has never been in my nature. Besides, I have helpers with me this time on my way to the Holy City!"

Whether it's the Black Dragon Emperor or the Nine-tailed Fox, they are both genuine Emperor!

With the addition of the Ancient King and him, the Holy City is not necessarily a dead end!

From the moment he began in Asia, he found himself in opposition to these powerful figures; only one could survive.

He's already reached such a level, why is he still practicing so diligently?

Rebirth from the ashes could save him from death, but the Magic Association already possesses so many sealing techniques; how could an angel who rules the human world not have some unique methods?

He can't wait until all the angels gather before he's attacked!

"Can..."

"No buts, and you don't need to try to persuade me. If something really happens to me, you can take the child and live under an assumed name. Not many people know you," Tang Miao continued.

His contact with Blanche was limited to that one time at the hotel.

The only people who knew about their past were Dean Perry, Heidi, and a few others, so there was no possibility that Tang Yan would be in trouble.

After saying that, he got up and left.

Women will ultimately only affect his emotions.

Seeing Tang Miao leave, Apas glanced at the two women but didn't say anything. Mainly, she didn't know what she could say.

As for Heidi and Blanche, how could they not see that Tang Miao's mind was made up...?

In the end, the two women only sighed softly.

Of course, they had no intention of going to the Holy City to help out or anything like that.

This level of combat is simply beyond their capabilities.

Going there would only cause more trouble...

After Apas followed Tang Miao out, they arrived at a quiet pavilion.

"Apas, are you scared?"

His life and death didn't actually concern many people, but for a fairy like Apas who had a contract with him, it was naturally unavoidable.

"You should ask yourself, are you scared?"

"I?"

Tang Miao pointed to himself, smiled, and said, "I've never taken angels seriously. They're just some lucky people who gained great power. Come to think of it, my luck isn't much worse. And I've never lacked great power either."

Apas quite admired Tang Miao's fearless attitude.

She knew that it was because of Tang Yan that he had hesitated for a moment.

This might just be considered "human nature," right?

But as Tang Miao said, is there a possibility that they might regret it?

"Then why did you ask me?"

After a moment of silence, Apas finally responded.

"Let's go to sleep. If we can't take down the Holy City tomorrow, we'll go back to Huaxia and cultivate peacefully for over ten years. Then we can come back and rule the world."

Although this snake woman always likes to belittle herself, sometimes she can actually be quite helpful in guiding her.
