Chapter 375: Jankos comeback!

At the same time, Lylia had also just returned to the city. She took a deep breath, feeling the air and warmth here, and a bit of comfort rose in her heart.

She looked into the distance and murmured, "I wonder if he’s back yet. Maybe I should wait for him a little."

Lylia walked over to a bench and sat down. However, not long after she sat, a figure appeared in front of her.

"Neline?!" When Lylia saw the girl, there was no longer anger or hatred in her heart. Instead, she lightly patted the empty spot beside her.

Seeing Lylia’s expression, Neline frowned and asked, "You don’t hate me?"

"I used to." Lylia curled her lips. "But now you’re his woman, I don’t need to be angry with you."

Neline jolted at that, her face flushing red, but she still tried to keep calm as she hurriedly explained, "I’m not his woman."

"Heh?!" Lylia was a little surprised, but only a little. She glanced at Neline and said with a smile, "Then that’s good. But soon enough, you will be his woman."

"You... I won’t become his woman." Neline explained. "There are so many other women around him who are prettier than me. He doesn’t need me."

What she said was not wrong. After entering Noan’s territory, she realized that place truly was a garden of flowers.

One hundred Jade Rabbit girls, every one of them breathtakingly beautiful, on par with her. On top of that were other female Heroes like Yuna, Napolia, Valkerik... their beauty was like angels, making her feel inferior.

Not only her, in Noan’s territory there were also Maisy and Violette. Although those two were also no less beautiful than her, they knew how to make Noan happy.

It could be said that after coming to Noan’s territory, she became transparent. No one paid attention to her, and no one cared about her. Fortunately, there were still NPCs there who handled daily needs, and the living conditions were very good.

But Neline also knew Lylia was right. Soon enough, Noan would notice her, and then he would...

Neline sighed, a trace of sadness appearing on her face.

Seeing that, Lylia curled her lips and said contemptuously, "Oy! What’s with that expression? You think Noan’s status is too low, so you don’t want him?"

Neline shook her head. "I don’t care that much. It’s just... my family..."

"Ah! But don’t worry." Lylia said with a confident smile. "Noan has enough ability to help you."

"Hm?!" Neline asked doubtfully, "Why do you say that?"

Lylia pointed at her heart and said with a smile, "Because I believe in him."

In Lylia’s heart, the fact that Noan could break through the barrier walls between regions in the World of Chaos was already something terrifying. The fact he could do that proved he now had enough ability to stand on equal footing with the great families.

Besides, seeing him easily defeat Neline without spending any effort, Lylia believed even more that Noan’s strength was terrifying, and that he even had the qualification to make those families feel fear.

Of course, she was not jealous. On the contrary, she was happy for him because he was so strong. At least that way he would be safe, not endangered by the families or anyone else.

Moreover, even if she stayed by his side, no one could stop them.

Neline glanced at Lylia’s face, full of trust and that radiant smile, and could only shake her head and sigh. "You... you weren’t like this before."

Lylia shrugged. "Before was before. Now it’s different. Ah! Will your family’s people come pick you up?"

Neline shook her head. "No. I’m not important enough to them."

"So you’re a discarded one too?" Lylia curled her lips.

Neline: "..."

"You..."

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Neline wanted to scold Lylia, but suddenly, Lylia’s phone rang, cutting off Neline’s thoughts.

Lylia picked up her phone. Seeing that the caller was her grandfather, she felt a bit uncomfortable, but thinking that her grandfather was the only person who had helped her leave that family and delay the fulfillment of the engagement between her and Jankos...

She let out a sigh, then decided to answer.

"Grandpa!"

"Hahahaha..." The familiar laughter came through the phone. "Lylia, you’re at the teleportation center, right?"

"Yes. I just got back."

"Stay right there. I’m coming immediately. I’ve found someone suitable for you. If you marry him, the Jankos family definitely won’t dare cause trouble for you."

Lylia heard that, and her good mood vanished instantly, replaced by a gloomy, terrifyingly cold expression.

"Grandpa! You said you’d help me escape the engagement. So you’re pulling me out of the mud just to stuff me into a crematorium?"

"Agh!" Lylia’s grandfather paused, hurriedly explaining, "No, Lylia, listen to me."

"All right! Grandpa, I don’t want to listen anymore. I’m busy, I need to go meet my boyfriend."

"Heh?! Your boyfriend? You have a boyfriend already?"

"Yes." Lylia suddenly thought of something and continued, "I’ve slept with him. I’m even pregnant with his child."

"What?!"

Lylia did not give her grandfather a chance to continue. She immediately hung up, her expression turning into extreme disappointment.

After all, her grandfather was the person she respected the most in that rotten family. At first, she had thought her father understood her best, but after hearing that Simon agreed to the engagement between her and Jankos, she was instantly disappointed.

Seeing Lylia’s expression, Neline frowned and asked, "Your family is causing trouble for you?"

Lylia sighed softly. "More or less."

"Aren’t you afraid they’ll force you to marry someone you don’t love?"

Hearing that, Lylia smiled. "Not afraid. If they dare force me, then I’ll go find Noan, sleep with him, get pregnant with his child, and then who can force me anymore?"

Hearing that, Neline felt it was also a good idea. If she did that too, wouldn’t it make her family give up her engagement to that man?

When she thought of that, she suddenly felt she had gone crazy.

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared and walked up to Lylia.

"Lylia, what a coincidence. You’re here too?"

Hearing that voice, Lylia looked up, and her face immediately showed disgust and irritation. She frowned and said, "Jankos? Stay away from me, or my boyfriend will get jealous."

Jankos, his body perfect without a single wound, wore a confident smile as he looked at Lylia. His gaze was not concealed at all, filled with greed as he looked at Neline.

The only difference was that on the back of his neck was a mark shaped like a pair of wings, like a bee’s wings, and around it were five hands twisted together into a circle, enclosing that wing symbol inside.

"This beauty is..." Jankos asked with a smile toward Neline.

Feeling his greedy gaze, Neline looked contemptuous, turned her head to the side, and did not answer.

Seeing that, Jankos did not feel angry. On the contrary, he felt that conquering women like that would definitely be very interesting.

"Didn’t you hear me?" Lylia shouted irritably. "Get lost! I don’t want my boyfriend to misunderstand."

Hearing Lylia mention her boyfriend, Jankos suddenly remembered Noan, and his face twisted into something terrifying.

"Lylia, you are my fiancée, yet you dare mention another man in front of me?"

Hearing that, Lylia laughed coldly and said with contempt, "So what? You go out and find other women to satisfy your lust, so I can do the same."

"You..." Jankos gritted his teeth, wanting to crush her mouth right away. However, at this moment, a voice rang out in his head.

’Don’t kill her. She is the key factor for our rebirth.’

Hearing that, Jankos immediately took a deep breath, then said, "Fine! If you care so much about that trash boyfriend of yours, then I need to hold the wedding sooner."

Hearing that, Lylia stood up, her eyes filled with anger as she stared at him. "Jankos, you dare?"

Jankos smiled and shook his head. "Why not? The engagement exists, both families agree. We just need to hold the wedding. What’s wrong with that?"

As he spoke, he reached out to gently stroke her hair, but she immediately knocked his hand away, then...

SLAP!

A slap landed squarely on his face, making his head tilt to the side.

But Jankos did not seem to feel pain. Instead, Lylia felt as if she had slapped a stone. Pain shot through her hand, making her frown.

Jankos frowned and said through clenched teeth, "Lylia, it seems I’ve spoiled you too much."

He immediately grabbed her wrist and squeezed tightly.

"Agh!" Lylia cried out in pain, but she still gritted her teeth and kicked toward his groin.

BAM!

"Aiya!" Lylia felt as if she had kicked a rock, and cried out in pain again.

Seeing that, Neline immediately moved. She pulled a knife from her pocket, pressed it to Jankos’s throat, and said with a frown, "Let her go."

Although they had once fought each other in the World of Chaos, they were still best friends. Now they were no longer enemies, and there was no reason for Neline not to help Lylia.

Jankos glanced at Neline, and his pupils suddenly filled with honeycomb-like structural patterns, like an insect’s eyes.

Of course, neither Neline nor Lylia noticed his eyes.

"Let my granddaughter go!"
