142. Departure (End of Frost-Pted Arc)
"Don't worry, I never inteo kill you."
Li Aozi smiled and casually walked up to her:
"How's your task going?"
Nimotin, trembling with fear, said, "Uh, you mean the wanted order? I was taken directly by the Law IV governor, I didn't have time to issue it."
"To Lir South Lake, huh... don't rush." Li Aozi dug into his pocket and tossed her a bank card. "This is a GTB savings card found from Abyss Humanitarian Relief. Daily withdrawal limit is 200,000 Derby, there's 3.4 million Derby in it. Use 2 million for the bounty, remember to use a public transfer."
"You... you're just going to trust me with this?" Nimotin was stunned and asked in surprise, "The governor only gave me a new leg, and yiving me 3.4 million? Aren't you afraid I'll use it for myself?"
"I'm not worried." Li Aozi g the still-cooling va, calmly saying, "You're not tht, but you cherish your life. You're the perfect choice."
"You—" Nimotin almost cursed but quickly softened, seeing the 3.4 million GTB savings card and recalling the massacre. At nearly two meters tall, Nimotin begrudgingly put the card away. She wouldn't dare mess with this card.
"That's all, you go now."
Li Aozi waved them off, preparing to leave as if nothing had happened.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Aozi looked up, and Yavanna jumped in front of him from her cover. After a moment of thought, she bowed deeply.
"Thank you, Mr. Li Aozi." Yavanna said, "To Qiu Ran and Nomi, they are the true women of Frost-Pted."
"Hmm... you're saying this because of Snow?" Li Aozi wasn't surprised. After all, Siqi had mentioned Snow's strong psychic abilities since birth, allowio unicate easily with others.
"Yes." Yavanna raised her head and said seriously, "Thank you very much for destroying Abyss Humanitarian Relief. I—no, tless people from Frost-Pted and the outer world are spared from being experimental subjects because of you. I'm thanking you on their behalf."
Li Aozi didn't have any ill feelings towards Yavanna. She had helped a lot, allowing Du Zexin and others to escape smoothly. Snow could grow up in Frost-Pted's civilized enviro, more suitable thaer world.
Only Zhou Liefeng might suffer a bit, but Law III and the Subway Brotherhood cooperated publicly. With Du Zexin's testimony, there shouldn't be much trouble.
Thinking of this, Li Aozi g Yavanna—she was quite pretty, but still far from his level.
Putting aside her talents and being David Lin's daughter, Yavanna Huskisin was quite practical.
But her 【Medium】 ability was too weak. Li Aozi didn't see her as a good teammate.
Holding his waist, he joked:
"Spare me the verbal thanks, I'd prefer something more tangible."
"Tangible..." Yavanna was taken aback, a bit shy, "I don't have much money, just some pressed biscuits—"
"Stay alive."
Li Aozi said seriously:
"Your existence is very important to me. In the ing days, you trust Du... Du Zexin. He's with David Lin, on your father's side. No matter what, ensure your safety. Stay alive, don't die in some er where I 't find you."
"What are you saying, as if I'm something..."
Yavanna's eyes flickered, she turned her head slightly, surprised:
"If I'm useful to you, why not just take me along?"
"Fet it, I've had enough women die arou's safer for you to stay away."
Li Aozi patted her shoulder, then whispered in her ear:
"On this p, you're uo me (your 【Objective Resoalent is too rare). Once lost, it will be hard to find another."
The wind lifted Yavanna's hair. She blinked her golden-greehe breathing mask c her face, making it hard to see her expression.
After his instrus, Li Aozi put his hands in his pockets and walked into the distance.
"Li, Li Aozi—" Yavanna turned, watg his back. Her lips moved as if choosing her words. Usually calm and posed, she now blurted out without thinking:
"Who are you? Where are you going? What's the purpose of yht so far?"
"In Frost-Pted, I'm a Frost-Pted person, in Red Arrow, I'm a Red Arrow person."
"Eh?"
"Hahaha!"
Li Aozi spoke without looking back, then ughed heartily:
"Just kidding—want to know who I am and where I'm going? Look up."
"Look up..." Yavanna raised her head.
Normally, people could only see the sky filled with Camity, red-bck clouds crisscrossed with thunder and snow.
Was Li Aozi implying he was an Omega Energy wielder born from Camity?
No, that's not it—Yavanna's vision pierced the clouds, looking towards the deep space beyond.
White clouds, blue sky, moon, sun, atmosphere, starry sky, universe...
In that moment, memories of words that only appeared ibooks and historical dots fshed before her eyes.
"Is that so." Yavanna murmured, "We've cked the ce to face the sky for so long, we've fotten there's more beyond this nd, an endless starry abyss."
Bang!
The ser tripwire was shattered, Yavanna looked up, the train's engine sped along the tracks, rushing into the deep night.
She clutched her chest, eyes dimming—in parison to Li Aozi's ambition, humanity was still trapped on the ground like primitive beasts, losing the ce to look up and break through the red-bck sky.
"Yes, I still have a long way to go."
Sincerely wishing:
"May your path be less lonely, Mr. Li Aozi."

Whoosh—
The train roared, rushing out of Frost-Pted's snowy nd, diving deeply underground. After a long period of darkness and shaking, the train's broadcast received a new signal:
"Static... you have ehe military jurisdi of Tianhuan. Please present your travel permit—Boom! What the hell are the army bastards doing? Get rid of those Red Squad terrorists!"
Li Aozi sighed in relief, then smiled tentedly.
"Great—Tianhuan, still the familiar good life Tianhuan."
The good news: he finally escaped Frost-Pted's harsh nd, leaving the try.
The bad news: in Tianhuan, the locals were straightforward, with a certain wild charm.
Ding—
The system prompted, Li Aozi casually ope. A new message appeared in the 【Mailbox】.

(Click here to jump to the Enterprise at: 'Mihayil's Little Den')
————————
"Iing, a random mall? Didn't expect su event."
Li Aozi curiously clicked the friend card, which came with a photo.
He satinum-haired girl with fwless features, smiling brightly. She was an incredibly stunniy, her attractiveransding rad gender. Just her appearance made it feel like the universe owed her if she were sad.
Her 【Charisma】 attribute wasn't below 300 points, not only looking good but possessing an intense charm.
Li Aozi's focus was unique. He stared at the girl's eyes on the card.
They were like exquisite gems, clear and radiant, with a noble elegance. From any ahey were perfect. The only difference was her pupils, elongated like a reptile's.
"As expected."
Li Aozi nodded, firming his previous guess:
"This is a high-level dragon fron civilization..."
At the starting point, a Sigma (∑, the 18th Greek letter).
verting to level, that's 360, 60 levels higher than his previous life.
"Let's see what good stuff such a big boss has."
Li Aozi clicked the link, jumping to the Enterprise at. His 【Mall】 interface automatically popped up, with a new limited-time window on the homepage.
An ugly-cute little monster perched on the window's edge. Seeing Li Aozi opeerface, it waved a paw, greeting him:
"Awoo meow bark meow! Misha!"
(Transtion: Hello, I'm Mihayil Redyevik Gold—you call me Misha. This is Grinna mama's limited-time promotional products. Mama said: Grand opening, everything half off.)
Ign the absurd sounds and transtion, Li Aozi's eyes nded on the first item:
《Grinna Waterspin's Daily Outfit Photo Album》
Price: 998 Points
Description:
Recrinna Waterspin's daily outfits, featuring 16 outfit photos in an album.
"You'll find it worth it, take care."
Li Aozi g the girl on the album, then at the little monster Misha, who nodded eagerly.
"Meow bark! (Transtion: The store's bestseller!)"
Misha rolled over, exposing its belly, patting its soft tummy with six paws, voug for it.
Li Aozi rolled his eyes, sn disdainfully:
"Do you think I'll succumb to beauty? My 【Willpower】 surpasses ordinary people!"
