Alex flew back up with the old woman looking down on him with a rather angry look.
"Your majesty! We can't protect you if you keep doing this," she said. "You need to stay in the ship where you're safe."
"Uh… sorry," he said.
"Sorry isn't going to cut it," Yao Ning said. "Do you know what would've happened if the beast had gotten you?"
"It's alright," Alex said. "I wanted the Wyrm's body."
"I could've gotten that for you. I was ready to kill it anyway," the old woman said.
Alex smiled as the two of them returned with Yao Ning having a frowning face. After returning, Liang Shufen joined Yao Ning and started scolding Alex. She didn't go overboard with the scolding as Alex was still their King, but the old lady Yao seemed to have no such fear.
Alex ignored most of their words and turned toward the Commander who was finding it hard to believe what had happened out there.
