Chapter 9
Although it had been a long time, she remembered certain things clearly.
That sanctuary was where the “key” to the prison barrier was kept.
And the key was none other than Nan Gong Na Yue.
Also, a former friend who had turned into an enemy.
......
The sanctuary doors were tightly shut.
Magic fluctuated on the surface.
However, this kind of spell was quite simple for Xian Du Mu A Ye.
Then, the stone door opened slowly with a heavy sound.
There were no lights inside, only empty space extending.
Only a chair was placed in the center.
The chair was covered with a soft velvet rug, and on the rug slept a young girl with closed eyes, beautiful and delicate, like a porcelain doll.
The moment she saw her, anger and nostalgia flashed across Xian Du Mu A Ye's face.
It was hard to believe that these two expressions could appear on someone's face at the same time.
But that was the case.
Xian Du Mu A Ye and Nan Gong Na Yue were once friends.
But later, due to a difference in ideology.
Xian Du Mu A Ye wanted to use the magic book to erase magic from this world, to change the fate of witches being cursed.
But Nan Gong Na Yue disagreed.
Because it would bring many irreversible negative effects.
And so, they became enemies.
“The Void Witch… You're still accepting this unfair fate! It's so foolish, why did you stop my plan back then!”
Anger surged from her memories, Xian Du Mu A Ye angrily accused.
But at that moment.
A voice, slightly childish, rang out.
“You're still preoccupied with what happened ten years ago, are you, Xian Du Mu A Ye?”
The voice appeared in front of them.
From the space rippling with water-like waves, a girl identical to the Nan Gong Na Yue leaning on the chair stepped out with an umbrella in hand.
She was dressed in a white gothic dress, with ruffles along the hem of her skirt.
She looked more like a little girl than a young girl.
Without a doubt, it was the doll that Nan Gong Na Yue had made with magic.
Totally different from Xian Du Mu A Ye, who had a young girl's figure.
Bai Ye remembered that some witches' bodies would stop growing after making a pact with demons.
It seemed like these two were similar.
That is… Legally a loli!
“Why would you stop me then! You, the manager of this island, would let you roam freely, because you are a prop designed to be the manager of the prison barrier, you can't move your body, you can only watch the dreams of this world alone and live in eternal loneliness!”
Xian Du Mu A Ye sounded like she was lamenting.
“Are you worried about me? You're so kind as always, A Ye.”
Nan Gong Na Yue showed a look of pity, with a faint smile on her face.
It was a gentle smile of concern for a former friend.
“You really are… Obstinate!”
Xian Du Mu A Ye clenched her fist, releasing her magic.
And Nan Gong Na Yue narrowed her eyes.
It was just repeating the battle from ten years ago.
Imprisoned for ten years, Nan Gong Na Yue didn't believe that Xian Du Mu A Ye could defeat her.
Even if her magic had weakened because of the dream's tremors.
But in this tense atmosphere.
“Cough, cough, this legal loli, please allow me to say a couple of words.”
Upon hearing this.
Both witches looked at Bai Ye at the same time.
“Well, I've finished what I had to say.”
Bai Ye nodded and said.
“？？？”
“？？？”
At this moment.
If this were an animation, there would be question marks bigger than their heads above their heads.
What is this guy doing?
Say a couple of words? You did say something!
What are you doing? Hanging around here and there?
You've mastered the art of unnecessary literary babble, haven't you?
“It seems you have a lot of opinions about me.”
Bai Ye paused.
Xian Du Mu A Ye shook her head silently, saying nothing.
She simply couldn't figure out what this man would do next.
So she remained silent.
“What about you?”
Bai Ye looked at Nan Gong Na Yue.
“Who are you?”
Nan Gong Na Yue's eyes flickered.
It seemed like A Ye was very obedient to this man?
Must be a mistake.
However, combined with the previous situation of the prison barrier shaking.
She gradually narrowed her eyes.
“Were you the one who escaped from the prison barrier with A Ye? If you go back quietly now, I'll go easy on you.”
She didn't recognize Bai Ye.
Over the past ten years, she had arrested hundreds of criminals.
There were many locked up in the prison barrier.
Besides a few she had a vivid impression of, how could she possibly remember everyone?
As soon as she finished speaking.
The sound of metal chains being dragged could be heard around them.
Silver chains appeared directly beside Bai Ye, wrapping around his body.
No impression means no strength.
The only one she really needed to worry about was Xian Du Mu A Ye.
The chains wrapped around Bai Ye's hands, forming shackles.
As if everyone who was bound by the chains of law would struggle, Nan Gong Na Yue also chuckled faintly, “Don't bother, these are chains forged by the gods, even beastmen can't escape them...”
Before she could finish her words.
Only the sound of “bang, bang, bang” could be heard.
Before Nan Gong Na Yue’s eyes, filled with disbelief.
The man wearing large pants and slippers before her, like he was breaking tree branches, tore the chains of law off his body.
Nan Gong Na Yue did not expect a slap in the face to come so quickly.
So much so that after Bai Ye broke the chains, she only managed to slowly exhale the final “open” word.
A scene never imagined!
Nan Gong Na Yue could never have imagined that one day she would see someone personally break the chains of law with her own eyes.
This was her weapon of pride.
She could attack and defend, and it was even convenient for capturing people.
Up until now, whether it was vampires or beastmen, even the legendary Dragon Slayer who could slay dragons, no one could break free.
But today, a man she had never seen before broke the record.
“Sorry, I didn't catch what you said.”
Bai Ye asked sincerely.
“Heh heh… Na Yue, it seems even you don't know what kind of monster you have locked up in the prison barrier.”
Seeing her friend eat dirt, Xian Du Mu A Ye was very happy.
“Monster? It seems you've been a little naughty, A Ye, a maid shouldn't describe her master like that.”
Upon hearing this.
Bai Ye looked at her unhappily.
Monster?
What kind of monster?
There is no one in this world who has more love in their heart than him.
Well.
This twelve-layer kimono is pretty, but it covers too much.
If I have time, I have to let her wear a JK, a mature lady, lace stockings and things like that, to admire her properly.
Here it comes again.
That strange look.
Xian Du Mu A Ye unconsciously covered her body.
“Who are you?!”
At this moment.
Nan Gong Na Yue, whose chains had been broken, let out a sharp cry.
The chains of law could be restored, so it didn't matter.
But what shocked her was what Xian Du Mu A Ye had said.
Indeed, when did such a monster appear in the prison barrier?！
