"I'd love to, but it's time for me to go back to my life. Daanke straightened up and clenched his fists.

"There's no way around it, it's a pleasure to work with you!" Xia hammered Andak's chest.

"You have to pay more attention to your ghost hands, don't go wild if you don't have enough blood, the light of the blood drop stone can reveal the strength of the blood, this time the biggest gain, it is estimated that it is you!" Daanke said with a smile, "Before leaving, let me recover from your little girlfriend's injuries, rest for a while, recover some strength, it's time to do something useful!" Andak's hands flashed, and he walked towards Ophelia.

"Why didn't she wake up?" Xia asked puzzled.

"It's just that the magic is overused and a little weak, as a magician, she really fights hard and ...... for you" Daanke turned and smiled and left.

Xia looked at Ophelia, who was leaning on the trunk of the tree and was sleeping, her originally rosy lips were a little white because of weakness, her face also looked very weak, and her proud breasts rose and fell evenly with her breathing. Natsu reached out to touch her cheek when she stopped and let out a long sigh.

"Many times, fate always makes people helpless, and people dare not pursue anything. Ophelia, I like you!" Natsu said this sentence with her back to the sleeping Ophelia, brewing.

"Hey, a few over there, get out of here!" a group of Imperial troops shouted angrily at Xia.

"Hmph!" Xia glanced at the squad leader.

"Damn! gouge out his eyes for Lao Tzu!" the squad leader shouted to order the soldiers.

More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward, and Xia sneered and rushed left and right, slashing down one by one. When I was depressed, I just had a punching bag come to my door.

"You're the only one left, what are you going to do?, are you still gouging out your eyes?" Xia Taidao pointed at the team leader.

The squad leader collapsed to the ground in fright, and actually shouted, "The empire is rebellious!

"What!" Natsu felt bad, and slashed off the head of the squad leader, picking up Ophelia on his back and quickly running into the forest.

After so many years, the empire is still so rotten! Xia remembered that a few years ago, he made a suggestion to his commander because he was dissatisfied with the imperial army to capture a child with ghost hands, but it was sternly rejected. Dissatisfied with the inhumane treatment of the children, Natsu secretly let them go, angering the chief, and in a fierce battle, Natsu killed the chief and took his sword, only to be destroyed in the recent battle with Graca.

Inside the inn, Xia stood at the window, watching the Imperial troops coming and going on the street. Many Imperial soldiers also used the excuse of searching for rebels to break into people's houses and rob homes!

"Knock knock", "Natsu, are you in there?" said Ophelia's sweet voice.

Natsu opened the door, and Ophelia was wearing a long white dress, a black Shinrikyo robe draped over it, a golden pendant buttoned the black robe to her chest, a Shinrikyo mask on her right arm, and her long red hair was scattered, showing a different charm.

"The city in the sky has been taken over by the Empire, where are you going?" Ophelia asked as she walked in.

"I followed you to investigate the affairs of your church, I promised you!" Xia smiled.

Ophelia lowered her head and did not speak, and the scene was a little awkward. Ophelia lowered her head and was silent, while Natsu quietly watched Ophelia wait for her to say how to find the church.

"Why do you keep looking at me...... Ophelia raised her head and looked at Shang Xia's gaze, a little shyly.

"Wait until you tell me the location of the church!" Xia said in surprise.

"Oh oh ......", Ophelia nodded, "This is not in a hurry, I heard that there are a lot of fun places on the West Coast, can you take a look with me?" Ophelia looked at Natsu expectantly.

"Okay, let's go to Lorien's place first, I'll have to explain something to her. Xia said.

Federation of Rescuers.

"There are so many wounded here!" Ophelia watched as the large number of wounded people waited for treatment.

"Normal, in the Sky City, many adventurers were injured. Xia said.

"No, people are actually more injured...... "The female doctor who had been taking care of Ophelia had been taking care of her.

"What, how can this be?" asked Ophelia, surprised.

"Imperial soldiers!" said the female doctor hatefully, "by the way, you're here to find Lord Lorienne, aren't you? ”

"Oh, know we're coming?" Natsu shook his head, this time there was some trouble.

Lorien's office.

"I know everything, Sky City has been taken over by the Empire. You don't seem to have gotten the heart of the dragon man, so do you want to compensate 50,000 gold coins or do you want to be a long-term worker of our federation!" asked Luo Lian with a smile.

"What a long worker, isn't it 50,000 gold coins, for you!" Ophelia was unhappy when she heard this, and with a wave of her hand, she took out 50,000 gold coins from the bracelet. Raising his small chin proudly, he left with Natsu, leaving Luo Lian dumbfounded.

Out of the federation, Ophelia picked Natsu's chin, "I bought you just now!"

“...... What are you, those are what we harvested together, and I had a share of it......" Xia avoided it very unnaturally.

"Haha, just kidding, I didn't expect you to be ashamed!" Ophelia bent over and looked sideways at Natsu's face that was embarrassed and evaded.

Sandy beaches on the west coast at night.

Ophelia, with her bare snow-white little feet, stepped on the somewhat damp sand, and Xia in the back carried her shoes and slowly followed. The occasional breeze ruffled Ophelia's hair and scratched Natsu's face with a faint fragrance and itchy feeling.

Ophelia jumped up and down, like a lively elf in the moonlight.

"Natsu, I'd like to hear your adventure story. Ophelia turned her head and looked at Natsu.

"Okay, then I'll tell you about it. Natsu began to talk about his adventures.

There's no telling about the loss of both parents, starting with the killing of the two goblins. Wandering, adventurous, joined the Imperial Army, and later left. Until he met the earthen pot, he was pitted by the earthen pot to Afali.

Ophelia couldn't help but giggle when she heard that the earthen pot was pitted in the summer, and the girl's silver bell-like laughter echoed in this small coast.

"And what do you usually eat?" asked Ophelia.

"Wild fruit or something, if you're lucky, you can eat some small animals. Xia replied, "Once I ate wild fruits for several months in a row, I really felt like I wanted to cut down the fruit trees when I saw them!"

"It's not easy!" sighed Ophelia.

"Xia, you said you were going to accompany me to investigate what happened to my church, but did you know what? On the back of the Heavenly Veil Behemoth is the Truth Cult the size of half a country. There are more followers than you can imagine, and I still don't know what is driving my followers crazy......" Ophelia said, looking up and a little bitter.

"There's no way I'm going to let you face it alone, it's like you're trying your best to help me in Sky City!" Xia said firmly.

Ophelia smiled, and the moonlight seemed to be eclipsed, some people, when you first contact him, know that he is the right person!

"Have you heard of the apostles?" asked Ophelia.

"I've heard that my ghost hands seem to have something to do with the apostles' curse. Natsu looked at his ghost hand.

"Yes, I feel that the tyrannical aura you exude when you go berserk is somewhat similar to the feeling you have when you control my disciples. Ophelia looked at Natsu.

"Do you suspect that the apostles controlled your disciples?" Natsu understood what Ophelia meant.

Ophelia nodded, "Then are you still going to help me?"

"I won't let you face all this alone!" Xia said firmly.

Xia only felt a fragrant breeze blowing, and a soft touch touched his cheek.

Ophelia gave Natsu a light peck on the face.

"Natsu, I like you so much!" Ophelia shouted as she ran away, and in the white moonlight, the girl's clothes fluttered, and the shy Natsu stood in place.
