Yan Xing pinched out the cigarette in his hand and then deactivated his super-weaponry.
"Something has happened. There's an enemy I have to face, and it's very likely I'll be killed by him."
"I don't believe there's anyone in this world who can kill you."
Yan Xing sighed. "I didn't believe it either, but this time it's real. Walk with me, will you? This might be my last leisurely stroll."
Tong Yitong caught up with Yan Xing, who was walking along the coastline.
"Can you tell me what happened?" she asked. "My power is weak, but... I... I'm willing to fight to the death for you!"
Yan Xing smiled. "I've been very tired lately. Your company on this walk is the greatest help you can give me. Tell me, what fun things have been happening recently? Our business on Gryphon Island looks pretty good. Are we making a lot of money?"
Seeing that Yan Xing was unwilling to share, Tong Yitong didn't press further.
"I'll walk with you," she said, "for as long as you like."
