Absurd!

Xi muttered to herself, as if complaining.

Meanwhile, Nian scratched his head.

She couldn't refute Xi's words... After all, she hadn't been involved in this matter; she only learned about the extraordinary changes that seemed to have occurred in Great Wilderness City from others later.

However, this awkwardness only lasted a short while before she curiously turned around and looked at Shu beside her.

"Speaking of which... Sister Shu, what kind of person is Maria?"

"Um?"

Shu tilted his head, a smile appearing on his face. "You're interested in her too?"

"Well..."

Nian shook his head.

Her relationship with Maria wasn't actually that deep; to say she had feelings for Maria was pure deception.

But it must be said that she was indeed somewhat interested in Maria.

The reason for this...

"I've met Maria a few times... she's definitely a very capable person."

He recalled the scene of his meeting with Maria.

Actually, there weren't many. In her long life, only the Lungmen incident could be considered a major event; the others were quite fragmented.

At least so far, she still couldn't figure out what kind of magic the other party possessed that could make Xi so conflicted.

"Well..."

Shu thought for a moment, but then shook his head with a helpless bitter smile.

"I have no idea."

"Huh?"

Nian was somewhat surprised.

But the millet remained calm.

"I don't know if you feel the same way, but... I asked my older sister, and at least when we see her, we always have an inexplicable sense of familiarity and intimacy... It's like we're meant to know her and befriend her..."

"Huh?"

Nian was stunned, his face full of confusion.

At this moment, Xi nodded affirmatively.

Yes... that feeling is possible.

"You also?"

Now I really don't know what to do this year.

She had expected her sisters to give her more accurate answers... such as Maria being very capable, taking good care of people, and being very gentle.

But... she never expected her sister to give such a...

Such a strange answer?

"Could it be... some kind of predestined relationship from a past life?"

Nian muttered to himself, his face full of curiosity.

But Shu, who was standing to the side, remembered something.

If she remembered correctly, Maria... wasn't she the Exorcist General of Conquest from the Great Yan Dynasty?

Judging from the timeline, she also had a considerable relationship with the mother of herself and others—who was [age missing].

Perhaps...

"Who knows, it might really be a connection from a past life."

Shu smiled, making a rare joke.

But clearly, neither Nian nor Xi understood this; instead, they became even more confused and bewildered.

But just as everyone was silent, a few slender women slowly walked by...

Chapter 381 Absurd!

"The Great Yan... it's really quite prosperous."

Walking down the street, Lamaline and Maria quietly observed their surroundings.

Unlike the landscape in Maria's memory, the Great Yan is now a highly developed world.

While it may not reach the level of extremely special locations like Lungmen or Columbia, its overall scale is overwhelmingly superior to the former.

Lamaline couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this scene.

"Kazdel, will that day ever come?"

She murmured, her voice somewhat dazed.

She and Theresa and others have undergone hundreds of years of change, but Kazdel has retained very little of its true growth.

Even today, Kazdel remains synonymous with chaos in the eyes of most people.

Lamaline knew this, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Because that's the truth.

"What has Theresis done all these years?"

Maria asked the question calmly.

"What did I do... I can't give a precise answer."

Lamaline didn't know what to say about all of Theresis's actions over the years.

If he led Kazdel into the abyss, then he also inherited some of Theresa's previous welfare policies.

However, if he is said to have led Kazdel into the future, then his aggressive external policies over the years have further shrunk Kazdel's living space.

So much so that even Lamaline couldn't quite judge that guy.

Maria listened to Kazdel's internal affairs while nodding, her eyes flickering as if she were pondering something.

"Um?"

Suddenly, as if sensing something, Maria turned her head slightly and looked at the restaurant she was passing by.

On the second floor, several members of the Sui Family also looked over curiously.

After seeing Maria appear, Nian was the first to respond.

"Yo~"

She waved and seemed quite happy.

After all, they had just been talking about Maria when Maria appeared, which was indeed a strange coincidence.

Beside Maria, Lamaline also looked over curiously.

"The Sui Family's..."

She muttered something under her breath, her gaze fixed on Maria.

Are you going to go find them?

"Um?"

"Nothing."

Lamaline actually wished she could continue her peaceful life with Maria, but since she had been invited, they couldn't very well refuse.

Soon, Maria led Lamaline up to the second floor.

Before long, the group met again.

"We meet again."

He waved goodbye and even made a point of giving up his spot.

However, Lamaline politely declined and pulled Maria to sit at the back of the table, curiously observing the girls in front of them.

"You two..."

Shu then spoke, her tone calm, but she also noticed that the two of them were wearing matching rings, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"You two seem to have a very special relationship."

Although the Great Yan doesn't have the concept of matching wedding rings, people who are very close, like those who wear the same clothes, will inevitably have some other thoughts.

"Um."

Maria nodded. "We are lovers..."

"Huh?"

Maria's words stunned the members of the Sui Family.

Even the people monitoring the Sui Family were stunned.

Lover?

Two... women?

Ah?!

"Such a thing exists?"

When he opened his mouth, his voice was rather loud.

Disturbed by the noise, Xi subtly kicked the other person under the table, signaling them to calm down.

Of course, some of the women in the room didn't notice this. She just looked back and forth between the two people in the room with surprise, and after a moment, she let out a soft sigh.

"Surprised?"

Maria tilted her head slightly, her tone calm.

And Nian spoke up quite frankly.

"It does seem a bit... but it also feels quite reasonable."

After all, Maria didn't seem like the kind of person who could be easily conquered; on the contrary, many people who got close to her were attracted to her.

Given these prerequisites, it's not surprising that she would seek a female partner.

At this point, Nian curiously turned his head to look at Lamaline beside him.

It was at this moment that she realized something was amiss.

"You are... Sarkaz?"

"Yes."

"This is truly rare... Sarkaz are indeed not very common in the Great Yan."

Nian nodded, his gaze towards Lamaline filled with contemplation.

She was wondering what kind of person Lamaline was, that she could even win over Maria!

While Nian curiously observed Maria's family, Lamaline also observed the group of people in front of her.

As for Shu, she knew from their previous interactions that he didn't have any particular feelings for Maria; he was simply grateful and felt a little apologetic towards Maria for helping her in the past.

Nian's carefree attitude is normal... It's not something she's pretending to be. Judging from her voice and the frequency of her movements, this is Nian's natural personality, and there's nothing wrong with it.

On the contrary...

Lamaline turned her head and looked at the beautiful woman in green beside her.

Is your name... Xi?

Lamaline's understanding of the Sui Family was limited to what she read on paper.

Therefore, upon learning that the other person was a quiet and reserved person, Lamaline listed him as the least likely person to have feelings for Maria.
