"Yes, this is the perfect chance. We cannot waste it. Let's head straight to Klingon. Agares, you will come with us."
Nodding to himself as if he had reached a clear decision, Somnus finally set Li Shen back down on the ground.
But right after, he pulled him close, holding him firmly in his arms.
Li Shen's balance was a mess—his inner ear was still damaged from being spun around, and the world was still tilting.
Without meaning to, he wrapped his arms tightly around Somnus's broad back, clinging to him for stability.
Somnus's voice, filled with amusement, came close to his ear.
"Li Shen, representatives from the surrounding nations are gathered in the neighboring kingdom. Let us use this chance for you to show your face. All you need to do is let them see that you are well. You don't have to speak. Stay in my arms, and it will be over quickly. Now, hold on—we will jump."
"…Excuse me, what??"
