Chapter 1067: Chapter 522: The Divine Artisan’s Whereabouts

"I feel something’s not right."

Diao eyed Li Ang and Liluliss who were walking on the side.

"Didn’t I already say?" Li Ang sighed.

The black-haired young girl was clinging to his arm, humming a song with a smile on her face. That’s how it had been all along the way.

He had tried to keep some distance from her, but still, this girl hadn’t figured out some situations properly.

Whether as friends now or future mother-in-law, family alike, there’s no reason to be that close.

This made the atmosphere in Li Ang’s group very low, while on the other side, Cloud Wanderer noticed it and chose to walk ahead, keeping away from the complex relationships on his side.

As for Lily, she hadn’t thought too much; it was pure happiness and delight, so she acted this way.

But Li Ang had to endure Diao’s and Elaphia’s extremely skeptical gazes.

At midnight, Li Ang later chatted with Liluliss about many things concerning Zoe, until she showed signs of wrapping up the topic, and it was nearly dawn.

After recuperating in the Spirit Gathering Area, she shifted increasingly towards an infinitely energetic state.

Realizing he wouldn’t be able to sleep, and unable to stay in her tent until dawn, Li Ang found an excuse to end the conversation and returned to his own tent to wait for everyone to wake up.

But ultimately, he didn’t expect that, like her daughter, she had no constraints in her actions.

"Miss Lily, when outside, this isn’t quite appropriate." Diao reiterated from another angle.

"Why, what’s inappropriate? Are you saying friends can’t be that close?" Lily laughed.

"Yeah." Diao had a "I know, but why are you doing it?" expression.

"But now we have a new bond; we’re no longer just regular friends!" Lily remained happy.

Diao took a sharp breath: "Great Witch, you—"

"It’s my issue; I should’ve said it sooner."

Having explained everything to Lily, it was only a matter of time before explaining to others too, though he didn’t expect her to pull such a stunt early in the morning.

On the way to the central area of the vault, Li Ang concisely explained everything.

"So, you’ve known since the beginning?" Diao sighed.

"It took some time to feel it, definitely, but ultimately, it was Lily mentioning Zoe’s name that confirmed it."

"Well, it hasn’t been long, I could take it as you being shy." Diao said.

Li Ang bit his lip and murmured: "I won’t entirely deny your viewpoint."

"Li Ang is embarrassed to call me mom." Lily said with a mischievous smile.

Despite her mischievous and lively demeanor often overlapping with Zoe, the significant identity difference still made her words feel strange.

Simply put, it’s the contrast between appearance and essence.

Even though things had been clarified, Li Ang found it more difficult to face her now, especially when she said that as if she were a fourteen or fifteen-year-old young girl.

"It’s family, but the Great Witch and your daughter haven’t formed a contract yet, so essentially..."

"It’s only a matter of time; I’ve already started thinking about the wedding venue. I haven’t visited many Sky Islands, but there are plenty of beautiful spots. Let me think."

Lily’s natural attitude left Diao completely helpless,

"We’ve arrived."

Elaphia, with a somber expression and a steady tone, stepped on the Flying Sword, resolutely advancing, separating Liluliss and Li Ang under her puzzled gaze.

She glanced at Li Ang, signaling him to follow, then flew forward without looking back.

"Ah, this one’s got the worst mood. You guys better not provoke her." Farlonio whispered from behind.

"There’s indeed differentiation among family members, and it’s really hard to get that close." Li Ang said to Lily in resignation.

"Alright, if it bothers you, I won’t do it then."

The black-haired young girl seemed a bit disappointed but still added: "Li Ang, I like you a lot; becoming family with you makes me very happy."

Li Ang nodded repeatedly, not daring to respond to her further.

Falo quickened his pace to catch up with Li Ang, whispering to him and Diao: "Regardless of any ’mom’ title or marriage talk, some Flying Sword lady is very bothered by it."

Li Ang looked at Falo suspiciously: "She herself cares about this nickname?"

"Because Aifei occasionally exhibits tolerance and care towards her Order Knight Order members, they gave her such a title behind her back."

"I know." Li Ang recalled Lanslow secretly telling him about this.

"But that belongs to passive display; if she actively expresses gentleness to someone, I suspect that fellow has said it too. So she’ll inevitably care a lot. Moreover, you’d think that as so genuine a person, she’d ignore the ceremony in the end-game of two being together? Miss Lily seems like she’s poking around with a needle in her weakest defended area."

Farlonio sighed.

"But I’m really the mom." Liluliss said with wide eyes blinking.

The three around glanced at her, all pausing before speaking.

"Great Witch, the outside world is quite interesting; no wonder you don’t want to stay long in Zultin Marsh." Diao’s tone was also peculiar.

Li Ang quickened his pace, catching up with Elaphia who was nearing Cloud Wanderer’s team.

A Xiang instructed the team members to cast light spheres, illuminating the entire Central District, an imitation of the Creation Furnace, immensely structured, with the high-altitude light source casting shadows enough to cover everyone below.

"Search for the switch, well, these days we’ve searched everywhere, found everything."

A Xiang stretched and asked, "Did you guys come across it before, did you sort it out? What did Ernest think in the end?"
