Stronger with More Jobs

How could its Divine Bone possibly be preserved to this day?!

Fang Qingyu looked at Jiang Wei, whose worldview was fiercely shaken, her cuteness bordering on dazedness, and couldn’t help but smile as he gently ruffled her hair.

"This bone, he acquired it by accident," Fang Qingyu explained, "It’s just been kept until now."

Jiang Wei nodded thoughtfully.

Then she seemed to remember something, suddenly raised her head, her little face instantly tense, nervously grabbing Fang Qingyu’s arm: "What conditions did you agree to with him?!"

She was well aware of the value of the Kunpeng Divine Bone.

It was a treasure enough to drive Gods mad.

Da Lei bringing this out, the cost he sought... was something she could hardly imagine.

Fang Qingyu allowed her to grasp his arm, lowered his head, looked at Jiang Wei’s clear crimson eyes filled with tension and worry, and showed a tender smile.

"Nothing much." Fang Qingyu’s voice was light yet extraordinarily clear, carrying a reassuring power, "He just asked me to protect you well."

Protect you well.

Those four words flowed through her heart like a warm current.

Instantly dispelling all of Jiang Wei’s tension and anxiety.

Her little face suddenly blushed with a faint tinge.

She hurriedly released Fang Qingyu’s arm, turned around somewhat flustered, with her back to Fang Qingyu, hiding her embarrassment, her voice as calm as possible:

"Then he made a wasted effort this time. Whether he gives it to you or not, you naturally have to protect me well!"

She said this while her feet quickly moved towards the slowly opening elevator door.

Her crimson hair lightly swayed behind her.

The root of her ear seemed to still carry a trace of pink.

Fang Qingyu watched Jiang Wei’s cute silhouette with a hint of a temper.

Couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head.

He carefully put away the segment of Kunpeng Divine Bone that flowed with starlight.

Then, he stepped forward, unhurriedly following the fiery red-haired figure.

Sunlight bathed the street, the bustling human voices flooded back into his ears.

Jiang Wei’s silhouette appeared somewhat thin among the crowd.

Fang Qingyu’s gaze followed her like pursuing the only light in his life.

Protect her well...

Time rewinds to half an hour ago, Qingyu Tea Room.

Inside the tea room, only Fang Qingyu and Da Lei remained.

Da Lei set down his teacup, leaned back slightly, resting comfortably against the cushion, his gaze cast out to the rolling sea of clouds outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes becoming somewhat distant.

"Gods and Life Ghosts... are about to fully descend."

Da Lei’s voice was not loud, yet exploded like thunder beside Fang Qingyu’s ear. "You ought to know."

Fang Qingyu nodded slowly: "It’s being talked about outside."

"You should’ve met... the one from the Arctic."

Following this, Da Lei shifted the topic.

Fang Qingyu nodded silently.

Of course, he knew who Da Lei was referring to.

Not only did he meet, but Fang Qingyu had also killed Jiang Taixuan right under her watch.

Da Lei finally withdrew his gaze from the window, sat up straight.

Those eyes precipitating endless ages directly looked at Fang Qingyu, articulating each word clearly:

"She is not your enemy."

Da Lei’s tone was unequivocal, with an undeniable certainty, "On the contrary. She is the most loyal Guardian of Lady Nvba all along."

"?"

Fang Qingyu listened, his brows knit tightly.

Keenly aware that the current Arctic Great Wall only emerged due to the Drought Fiend’s influence.

Before the Federation unified, it massacred countless people in the Arctic cities to grow to its current climate...

Could such a person be Jiang Wei’s Guardian???

Da Lei seemed to have anticipated Fang Qingyu’s reaction, with no change in expression.

He tranquilly picked up the teapot, refilled both his and Fang Qingyu’s tea, his actions still deliberate and unhurried.

"Surprised?" Da Lei set aside the teapot, picked up his cup, calmly meeting Fang Qingyu’s stormy eyes, "Those matters in the Arctic, those massacres attributed to the Drought Fiend were not her doing."

"Lady Nvba doesn’t need any Cultivation Resources, and neither does the Drought Fiend. Do you think the Drought Fiend had any reason to kill so many people?"

These words caught Fang Qingyu by surprise.

That’s right, Jiang Wei never needed Cultivation Resources.

As Jiang Wei’s alter ego, the Drought Fiend shouldn’t require them either.

Her killing of so many people was meaningless.

Fang Qingyu’s brows furrowed.

But immediately he responded: "Yet she did join the Life Ghost’s faction."

Da Lei gently sipped his tea, then put down the cup, letting out a faint sigh.

"Joining the Life Ghost is indeed a fact." Da Lei admitted, but soon shifted the conversation, his voice lowered, "But do you know why she chose to join the Life Ghost?"

He didn’t wait for Fang Qingyu to answer.

Da Lei continued speaking.

"Because... she just wanted to survive."

"Survive?"

Fang Qingyu found it utterly absurd, "Joining the human faction, couldn’t one also survive? With her Power, would the Federation refuse her? Would they eliminate her at any cost? That doesn’t make sense!"

Da Lei looked at Fang Qingyu’s eyes, almost bursting with skepticism.

His face showed no offense, instead revealing a bitter smile filled with endless lament and fatigue.

"Lady Nvba’s Power of Reincarnation isn’t much left." Da Lei’s voice was very light.

He paused, seemingly choosing the words most understandable to Fang Qingyu.

"Across numerous reincarnations, they’ve, the Drought Fiend and Nvba, mostly chose to join the human faction." Da Lei’s gaze grew distant.

"But, Fang Qingyu..." Da Lei’s gaze refocused, directly at Fang Qingyu, "You tell me, are humans truly a race that understands gratitude, that can genuinely accept and trust those not of their kind?"

Fang Qingyu opened his mouth, wanting to refute.

Yet countless historical scenes flashed through his mind.

Thus, he fell silent.

Da Lei did not wait for his answer, continued speaking on his own:

"If, by the day all Gods descend, you find that the God you worship stands with humanity, would you be pleased?"

Fang Qingyu, hearing this, pondered for a moment, then frowned slightly and replied softly: "It should be a good thing?"

Da Lei, listening, suddenly smiled despite his emotionless face, looking straight at Fang Qingyu and asked:

"...Then if he wants the Power of Reincarnation within Lady Nvba, would you give it?"
