Chapter 460: Sincerity!

Federal Calendar 7709, January 7th, afternoon.

Radiant Flow Star Domain.

On a vegetation-type resource planet at the edge of the star domain.

Outside the gathering point of the Nature Sect.

At that moment, the numerous Moderate Druids were going insane.

Right as they were showing Miss Silver Dragon the sincerity and charm of the Nature Sect, their two God's Favored Ones had vanished right before their very eyes!

While the possibility of a Radical God's Favored One openly abducting a Moderate God's Favored One was low, it wasn't zero!

Especially considering this particular Radical God's Favored One's reputation was... a bit hard to describe...

And then factoring in Loren's past close relationship with Little Ayla, plus Little Ayla's somewhat unruly personality.

Good heavens! It all added up!!

These Moderate Druids were already starting to prepare to confess their sins to the "Exalted Moonlight Goddess."

They had lost their own faction's God's Favored One!!!

Because of the blessing the Moonlight Goddess had placed on Little Ayla, they couldn't sense Ayla's aura.

And Loren, having advanced to Legendary rank, had already learned to perfectly conceal his own aura.

Legendary-tier abilities weren't just for use on enemies!

This [Puppet of Fate] ability could also be used on oneself, controlling every aspect of one's own being.

Therefore, when these Moderate Druids discovered that Loren and Little Ayla had vanished, it wasn't that they didn't think about looking for them.

The problem was, for a moment, they had no idea where to search.

"Can't sense any aura," "all prophecy spells are blocked," "and all communication attempts are failing."

Under these three bizarre circumstances, trying to find them was as difficult as exploring the endless Abyss.

Finally.

With no effective methods available, the Moderate Druids outside the gathering point.

Led by Solon Linton, they dispersed into this vegetation-type planet to search everywhere.

These Moderate Druids summoned their natural companions—owls, wolves, bears, and summoned creatures like Treants.

Intending to use the most primitive methods to find Loren and Little Ayla.

And hoping that these two God's Favored Ones had just gone for a stroll on this planet and hadn't wandered too far...

If, after searching this entire planet, they still couldn't find the two God's Favored Ones.

Then, they could only "pray" to the Exalted Moonlight Goddess.

And with hearts heavy with grief, tell that Moonlight Goddess, "Your God's Favored One is lost! That Radical God's Favored One did it!!"

Harboring this complex and anxious psychology, the numerous Moderate Druids, after bidding farewell to Miss Silver Dragon, dispersed into the dense forests that covered this planet.

Leaving only Jessistan the Silver Dragon and a female Druid named "Moody" waiting outside the gathering point.

One person and one dragon, in this awkward and complicated scene, just stared at each other.

Both sides felt rather complicated.

At first, after discovering Loren and Little Ayla were missing, Solon Linton, the Legendary Grand Druid, had asked Miss Silver Dragon if she could contact Loren.

But unfortunately, the contact method between Miss Silver Dragon and Loren had always been one-way.

Loren would take out that pocket-sized Reversed Scale and tap it three times, and then Miss Silver Dragon would open a teleportation array and appear beside Loren.

Afraid that Loren might misunderstand something, she had wisely chosen not to leave any means of tracking or contact on that pocket-sized dragon scale.

This also meant that when Solon Linton asked Miss Silver Dragon, and Miss Silver Dragon said she couldn't contact Loren either,

The looks the numerous Moderate Druids gave Miss Silver Dragon changed.

Wasn't this Silver Dragon in cahoots with Loren, deliberately distracting them so he could quietly take Little Ayla away?!

The possibility was high...

Jessistan: "..."

Trust between humans and dragons was just too difficult!!

Damn you, Loren!

You couldn't really have abducted that "Moonlight" God's Favored One and left me, a poor pitiful dragon, stranded here, could you?!

...

Just as Miss Silver Dragon was starting to suspect, "Has that bastard Loren sold me out?,"

Two figures, one big and one small, emerged hand-in-hand from the dense forest in the distance.

Walking back leisurely...

These two figures were even chatting and laughing! Completely oblivious to what had happened!!

"Big Brother, where is Mr. Raven? Why didn't I see him this time?"

"Uh... he's in some magical place, learning some little spells. I'll tell him you missed him."

"Oh, I see. Mr. Raven seems very hardworking..."

"Haha, of course! I think so too!"

Loren's smile was unexpectedly tinged with a guilty conscience.

Raven, who was learning spells in the Illusion Space:

"Wuwuwu..."

Little one! Promise me! Be good to your natural companion in the future!!

Don't ever be like some damn bastard who acts anything but human!!!

...

Under the eerie gazes of Miss Silver Dragon and the female Druid named "Moody," the two figures, one big and one small, walked up to the entrance of the gathering point laughing.

"What's wrong?" Loren asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Where are all those Moderate Druids? And why are you two staring at me like that?"

"That's right, Sister Moody, where did Grandpa Solon Linton and the others go?" Little Ayla also asked.

The air outside the gathering point was silent for a few seconds.

The atmosphere was unspeakably awkward.

Miss Silver Dragon and the female Druid named "Moody" nearly simultaneously raised their hands to cover their foreheads, expressions helpless.

"It's nothing! They'll be back soon..."

Miss Silver Dragon looked at Loren, who had no idea what had happened, her tone somewhat plaintive.

Mr. Loren, before you do anything, please consider your reputation and your status!!

You cause trouble for other people and dragons!!

It's really scary for dragons!! Isn't it?!

At that moment!

To prevent this awkward misunderstanding from affecting the relationship between the Moderates and the Radicals,

The female Druid named "Moody" quickly adjusted her expression. She wisely pretended nothing had happened and cleverly said:

"To welcome the arrival of both Miss Jessistan and Mr. Loren."

"After Mr. Loren and Little Ayla went for a walk, they went into the forest to find an abundance of food."

"Tonight, there will be a grand campfire party prepared for you!"

After saying this, Moody turned to Miss Silver Dragon and frantically blinked her eyes, hoping Miss Silver Dragon wouldn't expose this well-meaning lie!

"Uh..."

"Indeed it is!" Miss Silver Dragon nodded heavily!

Considering the Dragon race had just allied with the Moderate faction of the Nature Sect, the great "Silver Winged Calamity" lady decisively went along with this lie!!

"Really?"

Loren seemed to sense something was off.

"Really!"

Miss Silver Dragon nodded again, her expression serious.

Indeed, I've really sacrificed so much for the Dragon race...

"Alright, but we should be going."

Loren shrugged. Although he felt something was off, he didn't really care.

"I won't be attending the welcoming campfire party. I'm not used to that kind of atmosphere."

After speaking, Loren let go of Little Ayla's hand.

He crouched down, reached out to pat Little Ayla's head, and said gently,

"See you next time, little one."

"And say goodbye to Grand Druid Solon Linton for me."

...

A minute later.

Under the not-so-sincere persuasion of the female Druid named "Moody," Loren and Miss Silver Dragon stepped into a silver magical teleportation array.

Behind the dragon and the man, Little Ayla waved her hand reluctantly.

"Big Brother! And Big Sister!"

"Stay safe! That whole 'first-generation half-draconic people' thing is way too intense!!"

Upon hearing this, both Miss Silver Dragon and Loren stumbled slightly.

Then, the man and the dragon's figures quickly vanished into the teleportation array!

Human children had such a startling way of speaking!!

After the silver teleportation array outside this Druid gathering point disappeared,

The female Druid named "Moody" finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering softly,

"Good thing they didn't take this little misunderstanding too seriously..."

"What little misunderstanding, Sister Moody?"

Little Ayla asked, her face full of curiosity.

"Nothing! And, Little Ayla, you can't just run off like that anymore!!!"

"It was so scary!!!"

Hearing this, the little one's eyes rolled!

Then, she pretended not to have heard anything and ran off.

"Not listening, not listening..."

...

Inside the spatial passageway Miss Silver Dragon had constructed with space magic.

"Mr. Loren, I've been wanting to ask you ever since a moment ago."

"Ever since you came back from the forest, your physical body seemed a bit... off?"

Miss Silver Dragon's tone held an indescribable astonishment.

"Is that so? I think it feels perfectly fine."

"..."
