Chapter 923 - 283: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

This punch, after all, was never thrown.

The Prince affectionately held his hand, prying open his fingers bit by bit, allowing his own tender fingers to weave through his, dissolving his fist.

Their fingers interlocked, fingertips teasing lightly on the back of his hand, as if soothing and testing his patience.

Jiang Si felt a slight chill in his heart, not knowing what trick the Prince was up to.

The hand was so weak it seemed boneless; if he exerted just a little force, the entire hand would become a lump of flesh.

Jiang Si could ensure that he could crush it into finer pulp than what’s in a blender in an instant.

Such a bold act instead led Jiang Si into deep thought.

Did the other party have some contingency? A probe? A trap?

Just as Jiang Si was in a brainstorm, the Prince pulled his hand, tugging him towards the space rift.

After two tugs, he still couldn’t move him.

In the ruby-like eyes, a trace of helplessness appeared. The Prince turned his head to look at him, slid his pinky out from between Jiang Si’s fingers, and gently tickled his palm with his fingertip, "Let’s go."

"To where."

"To take you to the Mirror Country."

Jiang Si’s heart moved.

So that’s it, using such a gentle approach to trick me into the Mirror Country first?

Indeed, how could this moment be without an audience? He observed the Prince was no ordinary Nalan Yanran; it was the colorful and considerate Yanran.

It was probably already prepared, with a group of people waiting for me in the Mirror Country.

Then in front of everyone, break off the engagement to humiliate me.

The long-anticipated plot finally arrived, and instead of feeling excited, Jiang Si felt only the calmness he had foreseen.

After years of painstaking management, it was all for this moment.

Finally, I can taste the fruit of annulment.

At this thought, Jiang Si smiled lightly and even held the Prince’s hand with both hands.

He said calmly:

"Come on, I am ready, we can start anytime."

The Prince was slightly taken aback, looking at Jiang Si who was holding his hand tightly, and chuckled inwardly.

Restraint is required.

No way, once I take the initiative, how could a young lad like Jiang Si hold up?

Besides, for me, Jiang Si risked his life to break up with Zi Yuan and withstood the Cyan Cloud Sect, obviously liking me to the extreme.

The previous pretense of indifference, now, finally, couldn’t hold it anymore, right?

Ha, men.

Ultimately, they must worship at Itaen’s feet!

Both wore victorious smiles as they held hands and walked towards the rift filled with anticipation.

After stepping into the rift, passing through a passage formed by spatial turbulence, and reaching the end of the passage, opening a glass door.

The prosperous and vibrant Mirror Country appeared beneath them.

Everywhere were various Mirror Country machines flying, which, although slightly dense in the air, intersected orderly and peacefully on their flight paths, pleasing to the eye.

The towering glass buildings stood in a neat row, and the city’s planning and design were quite good, not giving one the oppressive suffocated feeling of a concrete jungle but still emanating grandeur and the vibrant charm of a big city.

Many Alices were engaged in construction work, and there were quite a few idle people, not mechanical Alices, but living, breathing humans.

Jiang Si looked, they were all other members of the Old World, adding vitality to the entire Mirror Country, making it less like a dead mechanical glass empire.

"How is it? Do you like it?"

The Prince shook his hand, slightly tilted his head, and with a voice less aloof, asked like a girlfriend asking her boyfriend, "My Mirror Country, in the future, it’s all yours."

Jiang Si then noticed that she was slightly shorter, shorter than himself.

However, she always carried herself with such hauteur and sat in high places, making Jiang Si unaware of this fact, always feeling that the Prince was quite tall.

Now, looking up slightly with her dewy ruby pupils, carrying a bit of boastfulness and anticipation.

Who wouldn’t think of a middle school girl?

Subconsciously thought of Keke.

All the girls in the world, I see no difference from Keke.

So he responded perfunctorily, as he did with Keke.

"Not bad."

Upon hearing Jiang Si’s response, the Prince also showed a bright smile, "As long as you like it."

Wasn’t this not the focus of discussion?

Looking at the Prince’s smile, Jiang Si frowned slightly.

My break-off engagement, my break-off engagement?

Still hiding, still hiding?

Planning to hide until Mirror Country perishes?

Holding Jiang Si’s hand, the Prince continued to walk forward, inspecting the entire country above the Mirror Country, while below, some Old World members and Alices noticed them, but no one dared to disturb them.

However, many young men from the Old World looked at Jiang Si with envy and jealousy, eager to charge forward and replace him if they could.

Who wouldn’t want a docile and obedient girl, who holds significant power over Mirror Country, holding their hand and showing them her country?

To Old World members, if they could fly with the Prince, they would willingly accept Mirror Country’s technology and become the Old World king!

With eyes from below, Jiang Si’s heart suddenly moved.

There’s already plenty of audience here.

"My lover’s relationship with Zi Yuan..."

However, before he finished speaking, the Prince pressed a white jade-like finger against his lips.
