Armipotent

They ended up in the lake once more, in the same position when they started the round. She was holding his shoulder, breathing heavily. The excitement of doing it outside really got her this time. She did not know why, but she could feel that she was more excited than usual.

Rosalie leaned her head on his shoulder, taking a little rest as he took out Little Shaoyang slowly from her nether region. The slight movement caused her body to shudder for a moment. Following the movement, more white warm liquid flowed out of her nether region. She had lost track of the time of how long they did it outside like this.

Tang Shaoyang brought her into the water, helping her wash the sweat from the exercise. They took it slow, enjoying each other\'s company despite the silence.

Tang Shaoyang and Rosalie returned to the former dwarf settlement where Greed and Wrath were waiting. The two creatures eyed Rosalie weirdly. She was on Tang Shaoyang\'s back, being carried over.

Usually, the two would jump onto Tang Shaoyang\'s shoulder, but this time, they just followed the two to a new room. Tang Shaoyang put her down, letting her take some rest. Meanwhile, Rosalie took out the meal boxes prepared by Elinova.

It had been a long time since Tang Shaoyang last tasted Elin\'s food. He finished two boxes while Rosalie ate one. After a hearty meal, they focused on the main topic, "Where are we going? How do we find the boss floor?"

The Flame Empress did not mind spending her time with him like this, but this was clearly not the play. Another war erupted, and this time, The Federation of Allurion joined hands with the Divine Church to fight the Tang Empire while the Giteron Dynasty took a neutral stand despite what Arnor Ollsen tried to do with Rosalie.

That was a smart move from The Giteron Dynasty, reaping the benefit while the three factions fought at each other. They focused on exploring the tower while the three rival factions fought at each other. She updated him on what happened in the Starter City.

It was yet another war in which he could not participate even though he was the Emperor. That was the most frustrating part for Tang Shaoyang. He did not want the Divine Church to find out that he was still alive. That might be the catalyst of the invasion of Earth by those God Ranks or the God Ranks might have another way to descend into the tower while avoiding the Divine Lighting. Or the Divine Church could swarm this low-rank dimensional tower with the Demi-God Ranks. The Tang Empire might lose the war if a lot of Demi-God Ranks and Legend Ranks suddenly participated in the war.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, "I don\'t want to get involved again with the Starter City #5, but it seems we have no choice. We need a direction to find the boss floor, and those people might know how to find the boss floor."

He did not have any clue where Karoen, the Void Knight, could not help him in this regard. The System did not allow him to cheat by preventing Karoen to speak anything about the tower and how to find the boss floor. The Mythical Spirit told him that the System allowed him to share the information after he finished climbing up the tower. Meaning he had to find his way up to the twenty-fifth floor by himself before Karoen could tell the secrets and detail about the tower itself.

"That\'s one of the options, or we can try to find more settlements, asking the natives for the resource locations," Rosalie nodded. The former option might be faster, but there was a high risk they had to fight the factions that tried to get the Golden Dragon. Also, their issue with the Mistovel Family had not been fully resolved yet, and the Virandal might hold a deep grudge for killing their people, too many x-factors.

The latter choice might be safer, but it would take time even with the native\'s help. If they were lucky, they might find it quick, but it was all luck, not so reliable compared to the proven information.

"Nah, we will choose the faster route. I have wasted too much time learning my Nine Heavenly Gates," Tang Shaoyang made the decision. He just found out last night that he spent two months and twenty-one days, nine days away from three months, "Where\'s Lu An?"I think you should take a look at

He received the message late from Zhang Mengyao, telling him Rosalie and Lu An would join him. However, he had not seen the young man since last night.

"Ah. Since we don\'t know when you will come out. Lu An went by himself to explore the area…." Rosalie paused for a moment, "Ah, I forgot to message him that you are out of the trial."

Tang Shaoyang left Greed behind in the dwarf\'s settlement while he left with Wrath and Rosalie. Greed would guide Lu An once he returned while they went to the Starter City #5. The plan was simple: kidnap some people to extract information then leave. At least, it was simple in Tang Shaoyang\'s mind until he found out it was not as simple as he thought it would be.

Lu An was on the way back to the dwarf settlement, so it did not take long before Greed and Lu An caught up with Tang Shaoyang with their movement skills. They executed the plan, and with Lu An with him, kidnapping someone was much easier. The Division Head of the Tang Empire Intelligence Division easily brought back two people from two different groups, one girl and one guy.

The girl wore luxurious robes embroidered with fancy gems, blond long hair, and a delicate face. The robe was an artifact, a Myth Rank artifact. The guy wore red armor with a crest on the chest and also a black cape with the same crest. He had a Myth Rank sword, not just any sword could be found outside there for sure.

"They have fancy stuff on their bodies, so I take them with me. They might have the information we need," That was Lu An\'s process of thought for choosing to kidnap these two. They were only Epic Rank, but they had an Artifact two ranks higher than their actual rank. That could be one thing, they had a big support behind them. One might be a princess and the other one a prince from one of many factions in Starter City #5.

"Which one do we want to interrogate first, Brother? I have learned some interrogation techniques from Marshal Alton," Lu An grinned, excited to apply what he learned from Marshal Alton.

Tang Shaoyang moved his head, indicating Lu An to wake up the girl first.

With a flick of his finger, Lu An woke up the girl. That was an interesting item that Lu An had there.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, then she scanned around where she was. The last thing she remembered was that her family hired a group of adventurers to help her hunt the monsters. The area was fairly safe since she was hunting near the city. The group of adventurers was just an assurance by her family, in case something bad happened. She did not expect that something bad would really happen.

The girl looked fairly calm after finding out she was in a cave. Her hands were tied on the back, then she looked at the kidnappers. She looked at the tallest man and blinked her eyes. The man had a good look, his skin was smooth, his eyes were sharp, and he had unique eyes. The man did not look like a kidnapper in her imagination.

Then she glanced at the red-haired woman who had a stunning beauty. Even she had to admit that the lady was prettier than her. Not just the look, but her charm was superior. The woman and the man looked like royalty when they stood side by side. Then her eyes landed on the last person, a young man, younger than her. The innocent look on his face befuddled her, the three did not look like a kidnapper at all.

The girl frowned and opened her mouth, "Are you from Xeodinia?" She did not wait for the three to answer her as she continued, sneering at the three, "I didn\'t expect the Xeodinia Kingdom would resort to such a low means to fight us."

The three exchanged glances before looking at the girl once more, "Xeodinia? We don\'t know what you are talking about, little girl. We just want some information, then we will set you—"

Before Lu An finished his words, he was cut off by the girl, "Dream on! I will never tell you a single piece of information about my kingdom to you! I will rather die than give you what you want!"

"It seems you really kidnapped a princess from one of many factions. What\'s the chance for this to happen?" Rosalie let out a chuckle, shaking her head.
