Chapter 168:- Tables Have Turned

But what she could be sure of was that the HIM in front of her was not her enemy. The fragments of memories just now, and the various events that happened after she woke up.

All proved that the Void consciousness entity was the hostile party.

Although the Ender Queen could not be sure whether the HIM in front of her was the one who had once made her submit, she was sure that, at this moment, the two of them had a common enemy.

After thinking of this, the Ender Queen glanced at the Dragon Prophet.

The Dragon Prophet also sensed the Ender Queen's thoughts. At this moment, the Ender Queen was looking at him, probably because she was undecided.

After thinking for a moment, the Dragon Prophet communicated with the Ender Queen through thought.

'Currently staying by his side is the best solution!'

It was clear that the Void consciousness entity was using the Ender Queen. The Ender Queen and the Ender Dragon were the keys to the portal.

The Ender Queen almost fell into the trap, but fortunately, she met HIM, who separated her from the Void consciousness entity.

If the Ender Queen were to fall into the hands of the Void again, the Void would obtain the key to the portal. Then they would inevitably invade the main world.

The End would probably not be able to escape either.

What the Ender Queen cared most about was her people. If her people were slaughtered because of her, she would never forgive herself.

After thinking of this, the Ender Queen made a decision. She looked at HIM, but didn't know how to speak.

She still remembered what she had said when the Dread lord advised her to surrender earlier.

———

"You people in the lower realm flatter and grovel, we in the End can't imitate that."

"We in the End will never swear allegiance to anyone!"

———

Now, although the Ender Queen wasn't intending to swear allegiance to HIM, she was still seeking his protection.

She didn't expect the slap in the face to come so quickly.

While the Ender Queen was thinking, she sensed a change in the surrounding aura. Although the Ender Queen no longer had the ability to probe the domain, she could still vaguely sense the aura.

She could sense the change in the surrounding aura and noticed that she was already outside the aura enveloping HIM.

The Ender Queen was a bit startled, and was about to say something, but then heard HIM speak. "I don't kill women."

"Leave."

Hearing HIM's words, the Ender Queen froze. "What... what?..."

She thought that once HIM realized her importance, he would take the initiative to keep her. But she never expected him to give her the boot.

Just a moment ago, HIM had said that the Ender Dragon and she were the keys to the portal between the Void and the main world.

Even though the Ender Dragon was already in his hands, he should have taken double precautions and, logically, should have kept her.

But the HIM in front of her seemed to not care about her at all.

After thinking of this, the Ender Queen immediately panicked. She thought they had a mutually beneficial relationship, but now it seemed that HIM didn't need her at all?

The Ender Queen suddenly felt a little at a loss. HIM's words "leave" were like an unilateral breakup announcement.

The blow to the Ender Queen was undoubtedly huge.

Seeing the Ender Queen look so at a loss, Xu Yuan was very satisfied. He naturally needed the Ender Queen, but he wouldn't show it.

He didn't want it to seem like he was eager.

Moreover, the Ender Queen had just caused a commotion, so if Xu Yuan spoke to keep her, it would undermine HIM's authority.

Xu Yuan also knew very well that the Ender Queen had already realized the current situation. She had figured out who the real enemy was and understood the importance of this "key."

After recognizing this, as long as she wasn't a fool, she would know that staying by HIM's side was the best option.

Xu Yuan had already grasped the Ender Queen's psychology, so he intentionally said this.

He wanted to make the Ender Queen realize her position, that she needed HIM, not the other way around.

To get Xu Yuan's protection, she would have to put aside her pride and personally ask HIM for help.

Hearing HIM's words, the Ender Queen thought for a long time about how to speak in a way that wouldn't lose face but would still make her stay.

After a long while, she finally stammered and said, "The Ender Dragon is still here... I... I can't leave..."

After saying this, the Ender Queen dared not look HIM directly in the eye and turned her face away, continuing.

"I'll leave once the Ender Dragon leaves..."

"If the Ender Dragon doesn't leave, I won't leave..." This is the most dignified way the Ender Queen could think of to make herself stay.

Because she knew very clearly, HIM could not let the Ender Dragon go. This way, she would have a reason to stay.

Once the Ender Queen's words came out, the onlookers, Null, the Dread lord, and others, silently ate melon and snickered from the side.

Anyone with a keen eye could see the Ender Queen's current thoughts, but she was still being stubborn.

"Black coal, look at her, this is what you call the art of speaking!"

"I have to admire, her mouth is even tougher than your old bones."

At this moment, the Dragon Prophet and the Last Dancer, after hearing the Ender Queen's words, both felt somewhat awkward.

They naturally knew the Ender Queen's character. For her to say such words was already the limit for her.

Seeing the Ender Queen like this, the Dragon Prophet and the Last Dancer exchanged glances. Then, both of them understood each other.

Null and the Dread lord, seeing this, also let the two of them go.

The Dragon Prophet and the Last Dancer immediately teleported to HIM's side. Then, they knelt on one knee in front of HIM.

"Earlier, we were misled. We hope you do not hold it against us."

"We are willing to submit to you. We hope you can protect us and the End safely!"

After pledging their loyalty, the Dragon Prophet glanced at the Ender Queen, then quickly covered for her.

"Matters of the End are always decided by the three of us through discussion. If there are disagreements, we always take the majority's opinion."

"We and the Dancer have already decided to hand over the End to HIM..."

After saying this, the Dragon Prophet coughed lightly twice. "Ahem... Ender Queen, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Upon hearing the Dragon Prophet's words, the Ender Queen finally sighed with relief. She pretended to act helpless.

After thinking for a moment, she unwillingly said, "Since you all have decided, my opinion no longer matters..."

Although the Ender Queen's face showed unwillingness, her heart was secretly rejoicing. Fortunately, the Dragon Prophet and the Last Dancer understood her, rescuing her from this awkward situation.

Otherwise, if HIM had said, "Ender Dragon, you take her too," the Ender Queen would have been completely stunned.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan naturally knew the Dragon Prophet and the Last Dancer were giving the Ender Queen a chance to back down.

This didn't matter, as the result would still be the same.

However, at this moment, the Ender Queen was still standing in front of him, which made Xu Yuan a little displeased.

The Dragon Prophet across from him immediately noticed Xu Yuan's slight expression change. He hurriedly reached out and tugged at the Ender Queen's hem.

Seeing this, the Ender Queen, after some mental preparation, finally half-knelt in front of Xu Yuan.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan no longer made things difficult for the Ender Queen. Whether the Ender Queen was being sincere or was just seeking protection, she would obediently stay by Xu Yuan's side, and Xu Yuan's goal had already been achieved.

After all, to Xu Yuan, she was just a key. She did not belong to the Undead Legion, and Xu Yuan had no special feelings for her.

They were merely using each other.

After thinking of this, Xu Yuan raised his hand, allowing the Ender Queen and the others to stand up. This matter was considered resolved, and everyone on the shallow shore was very happy.

For the Ender Queen and her people, seeking HIM's protection was naturally good. After all, they were no match for the Void, and the Void was eyeing the Ender Queen covetously.

For the Undead Legion, the addition of the Ender Queen's group was equivalent to the addition of the End. This undoubtedly made the entire team stronger.

The Dread lord, seeing this scene, suddenly had a fleeting feeling of déjà vu.

But that feeling only lasted for a moment. The Dread lord didn't pay much attention, but instead came to the shallow shore and teased the Ender Queen.

"What did you say earlier? What was it about me flattering and currying favor in the lower realms?..."

The Dread lord was also an old trickster. Previously, he had been so embarrassed that his feet were almost digging a three-room apartment.

Now the tables had turned, and it was his turn to tease the Ender Queen.

Hearing the Dread lord's words, the Ender Queen couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "What's wrong? Do you old bones want to spar with me?"

Seeing this, the Ender Queen was about to draw her sword and confront the Dread lord.
