This was a battle concerning the future of salted fish, and in Song Lan's mind, its significance far surpassed the ongoing war in the third Neutral Country.

"My, I've always heard that the folks from the United Government are liberal, but I never imagined they'd be liberal to this extent."
An unidentified third-party force had entered the fray.
It was a woman's voice, which immediately put Lu Xiang on high alert. In the middle of the night, the sudden appearance of a strange woman in one's house was by no means a good sign.
When they followed the voice, they found something amiss.
This uninvited guest had not come through the door but had opened the window from the outside on the fourteenth floor and lightly leaped into the living room. They also saw a pair of insect-like wings retracting at a visible speed behind the woman's back.
