36. Conflict
"Dear, get back! She's dangerous!"
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Katya, Tiane's expression turned serious. She hurriedly shielded Meng Lian behind her, her face full of gravity.
"Dear?"
Hearing this, Katya's pupils contracted violently, then her expression gradually began to crumble.
"Hahaha, dear... Big Sister, you've really given me a huge surprise. I've been frantically searching for you for five days, and you found a vixen? Hahaha, and dear... hahaha!"
Katya let out a deranged laugh. But just then, Tina pouted her small lips, placed her hands on her slender waist, and said with some displeasure, "What do you mean, one vixen? We're silver dragons, not some vixens. Besides, are you blind? Dear has two wives. Can't you see?"
My dear little ancestor, please stop talking!
Hearing Tina's words, Meng Lian stumbled and nearly lost her footing.
She looked at Katya with trepidation. Sure enough, upon hearing Tina's words, Katya's expression froze, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"T-two, two?"
"That's right. My sister and I both just married dear. You stinking bat, what do you know?"
Boohoo, little ancestor, please put away your supernatural powers!
Meng Lian hid behind Tiane, peeking out a small head with an awkward expression.
"K-Katya, listen to me. There's some misunderstanding here. Let's sit down and talk properly."
"What's there to talk about with this stinking bat? Pfft, she can't even beat us!"
Tina stuck her tongue out at Katya. Katya recovered, and her expression actually began to calm down.
"Fine, fine. Big Sister, as expected of you. Picking two wild flowers so quickly, and a pair of sisters at that."
Katya tilted her little head. Her pupils were completely empty.
"Sure enough, it's best to just cut off your limbs. That way you'll belong only to me. Big Sister, you can only be mine. Hehe, you can only be mine!"
Hearing Katya's yandere words, Meng Lian thought of those scenes, and her small face turned pale.
No, sister, can't you be normal for once?
Yanderes are only popular in anime. In reality, who likes yanderes?
"Tina, take dear and go first. This person isn't normal. I'm afraid she might hurt dear."
Tiane furrowed her brows, staring intently at Katya in the air, her face full of disgust.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Tina didn't hesitate. She directly pulled Meng Lian and ran in the opposite direction.
"Big Sister!"
"Your opponent is me."
Seeing Meng Lian trying to escape, Katya's wings beat, and she flew toward Meng Lian. But Tiane blocked her path.
"I'm not the only one who can fly!"
Behind Tiane, a pair of silver wings also emerged. Silver scales covered her entire body, gleaming brilliantly in the sunlight.
"Hah, just a newly adult lizard. Wait until I break your wings, then I'll go find Big Sister!"
Katya's eyes blazed with crimson light. She yanked a massive blood-red scythe from the void. Seeing this, Tiane smiled disdainfully.
"Just a half-blood. What's there to be arrogant about? I don't care what you are to dear, but I know dear absolutely cannot fall into your hands."
With that, Tiane's hands were quickly covered by a swarm of silver dragon scales, instantly transforming into a pair of enormous, hardened dragon claws.
"You're not allowed to call her dear! Big Sister can only be mine!"
"Boom!"
A tremendous sound came from behind. Meng Lian suddenly stopped and looked back. She saw a red figure and a silver figure rapidly flashing in the air, their forms difficult to capture with the naked eye. Two beams of light collided rapidly and bounced apart, occasionally emitting deafening sounds.
"That stinking bat can't beat my sister. Don't worry, dear."
Tina seemed very confident in Tiane. Hearing this, Meng Lian pursed her lips.
She wanted to tell Tiane to show some mercy, but she was also afraid that doing so would hold Tiane back and let Katya injure her.
Whether it was Katya or Tiane, she didn't want either of them to get hurt. But Katya was ultimately more ruthless than Tiane. After thinking, Meng Lian decided not to interfere in their battle.
Damn it, she was still too weak.
At this moment, Meng Lian suddenly realized her own powerlessness.
If she were stronger, she could force Katya to sit down and talk, avoiding this unnecessary misunderstanding.
If she were stronger, then in reality, she could also directly approach Chen Li and understand what had happened to the Alliance.
Or, if she could be even stronger, surpass the Sequence Witches, surpass the Primordial, surpass the Celestial Emperor, then she wouldn't need to go undercover among the witches at all. She would have the power to protect the Galaxy and make the Alliance turn defeat into victory.
In the end, all of this was just the ugly struggle of a small person, someone as insignificant as an ant, before fate.
At this moment, the determination to grow stronger was quietly planted in Meng Lian's heart like a seed.
If she were strong enough, became a Sequence Witch, or an existence beyond the Primordial, perhaps she could make the witches and the Galaxy sit down and negotiate, achieving a peace neither side dared to imagine.
"Dear, watch out!"
Just then, Tina suddenly cried out beside her. Meng Lian only felt a shadow fall over her eyes. A female figure emerged from her shadow, trying to grab Meng Lian, but Tina pulled her to safety with quick reflexes.
"Hmph, stinking rats in the shadows. What do you want with dear?"
Tina's palms had also transformed into dragon claws, and her pupils had turned silver.
"Madam, Master misses you terribly. Come with us."
That female-shaped black figure was Katya's shadow guard, Ying. Ying looked at Meng Lian with a complicated gaze.
"I know. But her love is too crazy, too twisted. I really can't accept it. So I really can't go back."
Perhaps the silver dragon sisters' love was based on desire, on intimacy, but Meng Lian could feel that this desire-based love was pure, and she didn't reject it.
But Katya's love, that sick possessive desire, made Meng Lian feel suffocated.
"Look at my neck. Katya tugs on it every day. Do you think I have any dignity if I go back with you?"
Meng Lian tapped her neck. Soon, a pink collar revealed itself. Meng Lian spoke expressionlessly.
The Master-Servant Rope, as a magical artifact, well, in Nordlin it was a divine artifact. Only Meng Lian and Katya could feel its existence. Even when Meng Lian was intimate with the silver dragon sisters, they couldn't detect it. Such a suffocating magical artifact made Meng Lian feel not a shred of dignity.
Ying looked at the pink collar on Meng Lian's neck and fell silent.
As a normal person, she clearly knew that Meng Lian was right not to go back with them. But as a shadow guard, as Katya's deathsworn warrior, orders were everything.
"Madam, forgive me."
Ying didn't hesitate. She transformed into a shadow, merged into the ground, and rushed toward Meng Lian.
"Despicable, unforgivable!"
Seeing the pink collar on Meng Lian's neck, Tina's small face filled with rage. She looked at the shadow on the ground, opened her small mouth slightly, and in the next moment, a blast of searing dragon flame erupted.
Ying hurriedly dodged. Just then, another shadow flanked from the side.
It was another shadow guard, An.
"Hmph, another stinking rat."
Seeing this, Tina gave a cute snort. Then she spread her wings, flew into the air, took a deep breath, and let out a deafening dragon roar at the ground.
"Roar!"
Ying and An were shaken into revealing their forms. Meng Lian nearby was also left dizzy and disoriented.
Damn, friendly fire! Watch it!
Just then, Meng Lian felt someone tugging at her ankle. She looked down and discovered yet another shadow guard.
Yi.
Why is there another sneaky one!
"Forgive me."
Yi grabbed Meng Lian's ankle and quickly pulled her into the shadows. Seeing this, Tina panicked.
"Big Sister!"
Tiane, who had been gaining the upper hand, heard Tina's cry and her heart sank. She forcefully knocked away Katya's scythe, turned her head, and just happened to see the scene of Meng Lian being pulled into the shadows.
"Hmph, I thought you were dear's younger sister. I didn't want to hurt you because dear would be upset. But I didn't expect you to be so shameless."
Tiane sneered. Then she rapidly chanted dragon incantations. Soon, in everyone's astonished gazes, an enormous silver dragon materialized before them.
"Roar!"
