Chapter 1308: Chapter 731: Fox Returns Home
After passing the security check, the White Dragon Warship finally set sail again and entered Venus City.
As soon as it entered the city, the bustling vibe of a big city hit Dorothy head-on. High-rises were everywhere she looked, luxurious sky islands in sight, and elegant warships gracefully navigated the sky corridors. Below, neon-colored magic lights guided the path, while on either side, there were rare private vehicles, making it a visual feast.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere inside the cabin of the White Dragon Warship was slightly stifling.
Everyone else’s eyes were on Dorothy and Ruthfiel, while the Homebody Witch’s gaze was on Miss Fallen Angel.
“What’s going on, is there something wrong with this Angel’s Ring you gave me?”
Although Dorothy was still a bit confused, her inspiration and intuition told her that there was definitely something off with the Angel’s Ring Ruthfiel had given her before. Otherwise, why did everyone react so dramatically when she showed it?
“What’s the use of asking me? I’m just a small incarnation with no ability to split the Ring of Oath. The main body insisted on giving you the best, and didn’t let me say more.”
In response, Ruthfiel shrugged, showing her innocence.
She was just a weak, pitiable, and helpless incarnation and certainly wasn’t taking the blame.
Moreover, she actually opposed the main body giving the Ring of Oath directly, but the main body was so determined, she had to go along with it.
Looking at it now, the main body’s decisive gamble had paid off tremendously, it was a huge win.
“Ring of Oath?”
It was only now that Dorothy learned for the first time the name of her Angel’s Halo. She silently repeated this unique-sounding name, and a vague guess formed in her heart.
She quickly pulled out her magic book, logged into the Magic Network, entered the Magic Web Library, and searched for the keyword “Ring of Oath”.
Glancing over the brief entry that popped up, the Homebody Witch’s expression became peculiar.
“Ah, this…..”
Oh dear, a token of a wedding contract, am I just inexplicably engaged now?
Dorothy felt utterly speechless, but soon let out a sigh of relief.
“What, you scared me. I thought it was something that would harm you, but it turns out it’s just about shared faith and divinity. That’s fine; there’s no way I could wrong you guys.”
She patted her chest and said this to Ruthfiel.
As for the wedding contract, if she had known the meaning of the Ring of Oath earlier, she would have flatly refused when Miss Fallen Angel gave it to her. But now that it’s done, they can’t undo it, so she’s decided to just go with the flow.
After all, there was already an engagement between them. Back when they were on the carriage to report to the academy, if she had nodded, one of them could be pregnant right now.
“Um….”
Seeing the young lady’s reaction, Ruthfiel didn’t know whether to feel touched by this concern or disappointed that there was no drama to watch.
She had been looking forward to the young lady’s reaction upon learning the truth, wondering whether she would be furious or upset and ignore her. However, she didn’t expect the young lady’s main concern to be whether the Ring of Oath would cause harm to her and the main body.
For a moment, Miss Fallen Angel felt very complicated.
For her, being genuinely cared for like this was hard to handle, especially since in her fate line, she had used all kinds of means just to survive and climb desperately upward.
Being cared for? Nonexistent. Only betrayal and slaughter constantly accompanied her.
Darn, she had intended to take the opportunity to flirt with the young lady, but what was with this sudden backfire of affection?
The high attack and low defense Miss Fallen Angel could only turn her head, pretending to look at the scenery outside.
Meanwhile, Senior Mia and Madeline exchanged glances, reaching a silent strategic alliance.
Darn, even though the Chairman has left, she still left such a move. Their enemy is cunning, and they decided to lay down their disputes, join forces, and confront the enemy together.
Above Dorothy’s head, Hat Senior Sister was immensely enjoying the show.
She loved watching Dorothy’s Asura Field drama, though it was a pity nothing happened, not thrilling enough.
Only Audrey felt out of place among everyone. Having already someone in her heart, she genuinely only saw her senior sister as a senior sister, so she felt no psychological burden.
Noticing the slightly awkward atmosphere in the cabin, Little Fox scooted over to her senior sister and used her Fox Doll to start introducing the scenery outside to her.
Although Venus City was her hometown, due to her introversion and social anxiety, she had barely gone out a few times growing up, so she wasn’t very familiar with the city’s scenery outside the window.
But no worries, her family was originally in the intelligence collection business, and in this day and age, netizens can know everything without leaving home, right?
Thanks to her past intensive online surfing, soaking up all kinds of gossip and hearsay, she could casually point at a building and tell some odd stories and interesting events that had happened there.
While Dorothy listened to her junior sister’s descriptions, her gaze was on the colorful and fantastical scene outside the window.
Although Venus City is also known as Night City, to the Homebody Witch, the name “City That Never Sleeps” might be more fitting.
