Chapter 202: Chapter 201: A Sister Falls from the Sky
“…………”
For a moment, the entire room fell into deathly silence.
Shana raised the greatsword in her hand, her eyes widened in shock and uncertainty as she stared at the two, her small face completely unable to show an appropriate expression, as if it had stiffened.
No wonder she had such a reaction, the scene before her was too bizarre to comprehend. Fang Zheng was leaning back on the couch, and in front of him, a girl dressed in a fancy Western dress was straddling him. Their faces were so close that it had far exceeded what could be considered a normal relationship, even Shana could understand that much.
However, most importantly… this girl was not human, but a Follower of the Crimson Realm.
Could it be that Fang Zheng was captured by a Follower of the Crimson Realm?
...
Seeing this scene, Shana’s first reaction was just that, but she quickly shook her head, dismissing the thought. Fang Zheng was much stronger than herself; there was no way he could be captured by such a Follower. Even though the Follower’s aura was potent, it was far weaker compared to the previous “Hunter,” and could not possibly be a match for Fang Zheng.
“Alright, get off now,”
As an adult, Fang Zheng certainly wouldn’t act like the naive boys in animations, afraid of being misunderstood and behaving as if caught in an affair. He just furrowed his brow, then looked at the girl in front of him and spoke. Hearing Fang Zheng’s command, the girl smiled lightly, then left his side and elegantly sat beside him.
“Fang Zheng, what in the world is going on?”
Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not good, Aralastor coughed once, and then broke the silence with his inquiry. Facing Aralastor’s question, Fang Zheng simply shrugged his shoulders.
“Actually, I’m not very clear myself, here’s what happened……”
As he spoke, Fang Zheng related the events up until now to Shana and Aralastor. It was quite a straightforward process; he found a greatsword while searching for the Hunter’s spoils of war and on examining it, he realized it was sealed. Therefore, he took some time to remove the seal. After the seal was removed, this girl suddenly appeared out of the sword… The process was that simple, without any complications, but…
“Why does she call you ‘Elder Brother’?”
“How would I know? It’s probably written as master but read as brother,”
That was the only explanation Fang Zheng could think of. Since she appeared in the form of a Summoning Stone, it naturally indicated that she was his subordinate. Maybe this was part of her “setting,” just like Nymph Little Angel?
Hearing Fang Zheng’s explanation, Shana and Aralastor were both stunned for a moment before they finally grasped the meaning he was trying to convey.

“So, what do you plan to do? She is a Follower of the Crimson Realm!”
“What to do………”
Hearing Shana’s inquiry, Fang Zheng glanced at the girl beside him.
“What else can I do? She’s already calling me brother; I guess I’ll have to keep her,”
“Are you serious?”
Hearing this, Shana immediately furrowed her brows, displaying a displeased expression.
“She is a Follower of the Crimson Realm!”
“Yeah, but I’m no Fire Mist Warrior and besides, this kid just jumped out of this sword, she hasn’t harmed anyone, right?”
“But she still needs the Power of Existence, doesn’t she?”
“We have Zero Hour Resurgence, we’re not lacking that bit… otherwise, what do you suggest? Killing her with one strike?”
“Ugh………”
Faced with Fang Zheng’s question, Shana was at a loss for words. Indeed, as Fang Zheng had said, if this Follower of the Crimson Realm had just emerged from the sword, then she was merely a newborn Follower without any precedence of harming anyone. With that being the case, she would not go after her. However, for some reason, seeing the girl clinging so tightly to Fang Zheng stirred a nameless rage in Shana’s heart.
It was supposed to be me first……
“Speaking of which, who is this guy!?”
“My name is Tilia… ‘Aizenta’ Tilia. I wonder which Demon King’s Contractor you are?”
“What the…”
Upon hearing the girl’s question, Shana was completely stunned, and even Aralastor inside the necklace was so surprised that he didn’t know what to say.
No wonder, although Shana herself was not yet a seasoned Fire Mist Warrior, she still maintained the state of the Fiery Eye. Logically, any reasonably experienced Follower of the Crimson Realm would recognize her true identity immediately upon seeing this flame, which was as distinctive as a signature.
Just like the “Hunter” Faliagni and “Corpse Collector” Lamy, who could identify that she was a contractor of the Catastrophic Fire at first sight or even without having met her, based on this characteristic. However, the fact that this girl saw this form and remained unmoved was enough to indicate a problem.
Thinking this, Shana frowned and suddenly waved her blade as if declaring war while staring at her.
“I’m ‘Catastrophic Fire’ Aralastor’s Fire Mist Warrior, ‘Fiery Eye Assassin’ Shana!”
“‘Catastrophic Fire’… what an ancient name.”
Indeed, this was a very young Follower of the Crimson Realm.
Seeing the girl’s indifferent demeanor, both Shana and Aralastor confirmed this point. Considering that Aralastor had left this world only a few hundred years ago, if she had been an envoy from before then, she would have had some impression of him. But the way this girl acted as if she had heard of a great figure only in history books was enough to show that she was merely a novice in the Crimson Realm.
“Could you please put away your blade?”
Looking at Shana before her, Tilia huffed lightly.
“Although I don’t like Fire Mist Warriors, if it’s Elder Brother’s command, then I won’t fight you. Because Elder Brother is my everything… whatever he wants me to do, I’m willing…”
Just like the Little Angel…
Hearing this, Fang Zheng’s face darkened, wondering whether it was the Dimensional Codex’s twisted sense of humor or something else, but it seemed that almost every summoned entity from the Summoning Stone was ready to say “I’ll do anything”… However, the Little Angel’s attitude appeared more like facing a Monarch, while this girl in front of him seemed to be brainwashed by love…
“Hmph, how shameless!”
Hearing Tilia’s words, Shana snorted coldly, but she still sheathed her weapon. However, she continued to glare intensely at Tilia, then looked towards Fang Zheng as if remembering something.
“Right, Fang Zheng, it’s time for our training.”
“Alright, it’s about time indeed.”
Hearing Shana’s words, Fang Zheng also glanced at his watch then stood up.
“So, Tilia, you rest in the room for a while. I need to go out with Shana…”
“I understand, Elder Brother, please be careful.”
“Ah, oh…”
Looking at the reverent Tilia before him, Fang Zheng was a bit startled. Considering her clingy demeanor just moments before, he had thought she would insist on joining them no matter what, but unexpectedly, Tilia was so easily persuaded. However, before he could say anything else, Shana had already stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
“Alright, let’s go, we can’t be late!”
What are we even late for downstairs!
Seeing Shana’s disgruntled expression, Fang Zheng helplessly rolled his eyes but gathered up the Vampire and left the room with Shana.
I won!
The moment they stepped out of the room, Shana clenched her fist tightly; although she did not know exactly what she had won, she felt like she had indeed won!
