After releasing Nai Ni'er, Ye Ming saw her staring at him intently and felt a knot of unease in his stomach.
He could only turn to Loriya and cast her a pleading glance.
"Sister Nai Ni'er! Did you hear what Brother Ye just said?" Loriya said, blinking her eyes. "Whatever you ask, he will agree to it!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Nai Ni'er was taken aback and seemed a little lost. "Did he say that?"
It seemed the sudden embrace had left her somewhat… dazed.
"Yes! I did say it!"
Seeing Loriya paving the way for him, Ye Ming quickly chimed in, "No matter what you want, I'll agree to it!"
Nai Ni'er looked at his earnest yet anxious eyes, then recalled the moment he held her. Her mood seemed to lift considerably.
"Alright! I remember!"
She calmed the ripples in her heart and said, "However, I don't have anything I want you to do right now. I'll tell you when I think of something later!"
"Okay! This promise is forever valid!"
Seeing that Nai Ni'er wasn't angry, Ye Ming felt relieved.
"By the way! Brother Ye! I might have to leave the Temple of Destiny!"
At this moment, Loriya suddenly spoke.
"Wh—What?"
This statement was like a bolt from the blue, directly blowing Ye Ming's soul away.
He was completely stunned!
One moment he had just appeased Nai Ni'er, and now Loriya was coming with this.
Was he not going to be allowed to live?
He couldn't handle this kind of play! His mental state had collapsed!
However, Nai Ni'er's reaction was the opposite of Ye Ming's.
Instead, she was surprisingly calm.
It was not surprising at all that she didn't seem taken aback by Loriya's words.
"Lori… Loriya! Don't… don't joke like that! Brother Ye has a small heart and can't take such a blow!" Ye Ming's face was now more wretched than if he were crying.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Loriya and Nai Ni'er, seeing his expression, burst into laughter again, to the point where they could barely straighten their backs.
"Hahaha! Brother Ye… Brother Ye! Just listen to what I have to say!"
Loriya found it hard to look at Ye Ming's current expression, which truly gave off a feeling of… weakness and helplessness.
"Then finish what you have to say in one go! Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming's face instantly darkened.
If he experienced such a misunderstanding a few more times, he feared he might ascend to the afterlife prematurely.
A minute later, Loriya and Nai Ni'er finally managed to compose themselves.
"Brother Ye! You know my identity! Some things must be brought to a conclusion!"
Loriya took a deep breath and said softly.
"Identity?"
Hearing this, Ye Ming's eyes sharpened, and two chilling glints emanated from his pupils. "They're here again?"
Those who knew Ye Ming well understood that when his eyes showed such a look, it meant… he was looking to kill.
Someone had completely enraged him.
"No! Since they witnessed the strength of the Temple of Destiny last time, they haven't come back."
Loriya gave him a reassuring look and said, "The reason I'm leaving this time is my own decision."
"But…"
Ye Ming was about to speak but stopped abruptly.
Because he saw a hint of determination in Loriya's eyes.
"Since you've made this decision, I will naturally support you! But there's one thing you must promise me!"
Ye Ming held her hand and said sternly, "No matter what you do, you must ensure your own safety, understand?"
As he said this, Ye Ming even added a trace of command in his tone.
Loriya's safety was what he cared about most.
"Brother Ye! Have you forgotten who I am?"
Loriya blinked her beautiful eyes and said somewhat playfully, "I am the God King of Wisdom! I never do anything I'm not sure of!"
This confidence!
Loriya had always possessed it!
"Alright!"
Ye Ming turned to Nai Ni'er and asked, "You should have discussed this decision with her, right?"
"I know you're worried!"
Nai Ni'er looked at his serious expression and assured him, "Before Loriya truly began her actions, we simulated dozens of possibilities. There will be no accidents!"
"Moreover…"
Nai Ni'er smiled and took out the God King Token she carried. "This has the spatial coordinates you left. Even if something unexpected happens, wouldn't you still be there?"
With these spatial coordinates, Ye Ming could arrive at Loriya's location at any time through a spatial tunnel.
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Ye Ming gradually relaxed.
"Honestly, I'm quite looking forward to what you intend to accomplish."
Perhaps thinking of something, Ye Ming's mood suddenly brightened. In fact, he even felt a little… excited.
"Heh! Men!"
Seeing this, Nai Ni'er seemed to guess what Ye Ming was thinking and habitually rolled her eyes at him. "Isn't someone thinking that after our little princess succeeds, she'll be able to… Mmm!"
Before Nai Ni'er could finish speaking, Ye Ming covered her mouth first.
"What's wrong?"
Loriya was a little confused by Ye Ming's sudden action.
Was there something he couldn't tell her?
"Nai Ni'er! Please spare me!"
At the same moment, Ye Ming's pleading voice echoed in Nai Ni'er's mind.
"Aren't you going to let go?" Nai Ni'er said irritably.
"It's nothing! Everything is fine!"
After releasing Nai Ni'er, Ye Ming said with a chuckle.
"Hmm?"
Loriya felt that something was not quite right, but she couldn't pinpoint it.
"By the way! Loriya! When you leave the Temple of Destiny this time, you must bring the Heavenly Destiny Guards! Otherwise…"
Ye Ming cautioned.
"Hmph! Someone just worries for no reason! Do these things need you to say them?" Nai Ni'er was clearly displeased with Ye Ming's earlier rough action. "You know how significant the little princess's mission is this time. The Heavenly Destiny Guards and her Wisdom Guards must naturally be by her side!"
"Uh!"
Hearing Nai Ni'er's words, Ye Ming realized his worry was truly redundant.
In terms of intelligence, he admitted he couldn't compare to Loriya.
"Alright! Brother Ye! You should go back now! I might not be able to help you in Huaguo for the time being. Next…"
"You were just talking about me, and now you too…" Ye Ming said softly, "I may not be as smart as you, but I'm not bad either!"
Then, Ye Ming tore open a spatial passage to Minghai City and looked at the two women. "Before we part, won't you give me a hug?"
Loriya didn't feel awkward and naturally hugged him.
"If I can make it in time, Qianyu and I might be able to meet you!" Ye Ming said gently, holding the beauty in his arms.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
After releasing Loriya, Ye Ming looked at Nai Ni'er, his hands still raised in the air.
"You…"
Nai Ni'er avoided his gaze and didn't step forward. However, her hands instinctively clenched.
She seemed to be wrestling with something.
Loriya looked at Nai Ni'er beside her and shook her head. Then, she directly extended a hand and gently pushed her on the back.
"Ah!"
Her sudden loss of control caused Nai Ni'er to bump into a solid chest, and she was then enveloped in warmth.
