Jiang Xiaofeng and the Queen flew to the side of the Clock Tower, only to hear the sounds of fighting coming from the top.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaofeng flew up directly.

"It's the Clock Room."

The Queen suddenly spoke.

" The Clock Room?"

Jiang Xiaofeng asked in confusion, "That's strange, has the Time Keeper actually returned?"

"Then what about the fight with her... wait."

Jiang Xiaofeng seemed to understand something.

He flew above the Clock Room and swung his elemental giant hand, tearing off the Clock Room.

Upon closer inspection, Time Keeper was being beaten by a guy.

Sure enough, the Beheaded escaped from the bank.

They're currently locked in a close battle with the Time Keeper.

"How does a bank have this kind of connection with the buildings on the island... wait a minute."

Jiang Xiaofeng slapped his forehead. "This guy probably still has a curse on him, this is going to be difficult."

Jiang Xiaofeng put the Queen down, then jumped down and rushed towards the two of them.

" Time Stop."

Jiang Xiaofeng said softly.

In an instant, time seemed to stand still throughout the Clock Room...

Time Keeper and the Beheaded's movements stopped at the moment when the Acceptance and the long sword clashed.

The Queen behind him had just drawn her longsword as if she was about to jump down.

Jiang Xiaofeng shook his head.

"These are truly turbulent times..."

Jiang Xiaofeng swung his long whip, throwing the Beheaded aside, then took out the Dream Nail and struck the Time Keeper.

"Your the King, our agreement may not be fulfilled..."

Jiang Xiaofeng's face darkened as he listened to Time Keeper's thoughts.

"Does this guy have to say things in such a way that it's easy to get the wrong idea?"

"Ah, never mind."

"At least it's a pleasant surprise; I don't have to try to find you anymore."

"Um..."

Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and loosely clenched his fist.

"As far as my time-stopping ability is concerned, as long as I don't stop talking, that period of time is Eternity..."

Then, Jiang Xiaofeng looked at Time Keeper.

"I should do something else to have some fun..."

Jiang Xiaofeng extended his hand.

"Hmm, Time Keeper indeed quite capable."

Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand, deactivating the time stop.

The colors of the surrounding space gradually returned to normal...

The Beheaded was flung against the wall and slowly slid down...

The Queen had barely landed when she discovered the battle was over... no, it wasn't over yet!

Suddenly, Time Keeper went berserk, wielding two swords and slashing at Jiang Xiaofeng!

You bastard!

"?"

Jiang Xiaofeng raised his hand and gripped the two knives tightly, looking at the Time Keeper with an expression of bewilderment.

Do you think I can't see what you've done?!

You beast!

You're a pervert!

"I must be out of my mind to make a deal with someone like you!"

Jiang Xiaofeng couldn't hold back any longer.

"Even if I'm a bastard, it has nothing to do with that agreement, right? Wasn't that agreement to have you solve the problem at the source of the plague?"

"The agreement is innocent!"

The Time Keeper shook off Jiang Xiaofeng's control with a flick of his arms and continued to attack Jiang Xiaofeng, brandishing his twin swords.

That's a new timeline!

"All I changed was the pandemic in that timeline!"

"We can only wait for my counterpart from another world to resolve this pandemic!"

Do you understand?

Time Keeper, enraged, chased Jiang Xiaofeng around the Clock Room, but Jiang Xiaofeng kept using his Assault Shield to knock her away.

This made her even angrier.

" The Queen! Aren't you going to help your beloved husband?"

While Parry Time Keeper's attacks, Jiang Xiaofeng spoke to the Queen.

The Queen stared at the Time Keeper as it moved...

The Queen felt her eyes were being dazzled.

My body trembled involuntarily a few times.

"You deserve a lesson."

"You brought this on yourself."

The Queen spoke calmly.

From the first time she met this guy, the Queen knew what kind of person he was!

They appear weak, pitiful, helpless, and even slutty, but in reality, they rely on their immense strength to oppress others until no one dares to resist.

Perhaps the King wasn't particularly fond of thinking, but never forget that the King's throne was earned through hard work!

Although the guy in front of me has developed new memories, his combat experience from the King has not been wasted and is even comparable to what he used to be.

As for that the Beheaded... the Queen already knows that it was the King who had lost his memory.

Because of his constant killing, this guy exudes an aura of indifference towards life.

However, it cannot be denied that the Beheaded has honed its skills the most.

Jiang Xiaofeng simply kept reviewing these skills to prevent them from becoming rusty.

The Queen's eyes twitched involuntarily as she watched Jiang Xiaofeng send the Time Keeper flying with a single Wave of Denial from his palm.

But has this guy never been with a woman before?!

Even this he doesn't forget... tsk.

The Queen swung her sword at the two men, and a Reality Slash appeared out of thin air, slashing towards them.

The two retreated simultaneously, dodging the attack.

"That's enough, stop hitting."

The Queen said calmly.

Jiang Xiaofeng picked at his ear.

My the Queen... are you going through puberty?

The Queen barely suppressed the urge to strike again, "Sometimes this is what it's like to become an artificial human."

"Is this issue unavoidable?!"

Jiang Xiaofeng clapped his hands. "That's good. I know a very powerful guy in that world who should be able to turn you back."

"After all, they are creations of alchemy, so he should have a lot to say about this."

"Yes, I have multiple preparations, so please don't worry."

Upon hearing this, the Queen's mood inexplicably calmed down.

At this Time Keeper finally managed to get a word in edgewise.

What are you doing here?

"And that guy over there..."

Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Beheaded pretending to be dead beside him. "..."

"Shall we go to the bank?"

The Beheaded jumped up.

"Let me in!"

Jiang Xiaofeng took out the bank box and opened it.

The Beheaded jumped right in.

Jiang Xiaofeng packed up the box.

Time Keeper was dumbfounded as he watched the smooth and seamless movements.

What is he doing?

"He hates family relationships... or rather, ethical relationships. Yeah, that's it."

Upon Time Keeper got angry again.

"How dare you pinch me... I..."

Shi Shou fell silent after speaking for a while.

After all, she was a little embarrassed.

The Queen understood.

You dare to flirt with other women when I can't see you!

The Queen charged forward again, sword in hand!

Jiang Xiaofeng dodged to the side and hugged the Queen.

"Be good, be quiet."

Otherwise—I'll kill you.

The Queen immediately became obedient.

She suddenly remembered the King during the outbreak of the plague.

He also executed one group of pedestrians after another with a smile, and went around "incognito" to deal with civilians who had been infected with the epidemic...

Seeing that the Queen had calmed down, Jiang Xiaofeng helped the Queen up and then looked at the Time Keeper.

"To make a long story short, I'm planning to leave this island. Do you want to come with me?"

Time Keeper nodded. "Okay."

"You should... um? You're leaving?"

Time Keeper nodded.

"I've wanted to leave this place for a while, but because of my promise to you, I can't just abandon it."

Jiang Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment.

"Can you sense the world I came from?"

Time Keeper shrugged.

"If you could show me something from that world, I could give you a more accurate answer."

So Jiang Xiaofeng summoned the shell of Hypostasis.

Time Keeper: "..."

After a while...

"It can be found."

For some unknown reason, the gap between the two worlds seems to have been broken by something, and it's currently difficult to heal.

"If you want to return to your world more easily, it's best to do it within a week. Any longer and I might not be able to quickly re-establish the connection between the two worlds."

Time Keeper said to Jiang Xiaofeng.

Jiang Xiaofeng waved his hand.

That's enough.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Queen behind him.

Is there any hope of saving the guards in the castle?

The Queen nodded.

"You can go take a look, but they've been so lax for so long, the food in the castle is long gone..."

The Queen remained silent.

Jiang Xiaofeng understood.

But so what?

As long as they still follow me, their king, Jiang Xiaofeng wouldn't mind taking a powerful group of Royal Guard with him.

Of course, if they all go crazy, then it's perfect for the Collector to deal with them...

Jiang Xiaofeng Time Keeper Shi Shou a few days later in front of the High Peak Castle. He then Time Keeper to go to the Forgotten Sepulcher and capture the Spider Woman before the two parted ways.

Let's go.

Jiang Xiaofeng pulled the Queen along.

"Let's go take a look at our castle."
