Si Er didn't know how long he had been crying when he saw Wen Yihan suddenly staring straight in his direction.

"Er'er, you're the only one left in my life. Can you stay with me forever?"

Si Er sighed: "No, you can't."

Sadness welled up in the other person's eyes again: "Why? Aren't we best friends?"

“Friends eventually have to go their separate ways,” Si Er sighed again. “My friend doesn’t cry easily. He’s more cheerful than me. Even without me, he was able to get through the darkest period of his life.”

"I believe he can live a good life and will eventually emerge from all the shadows."

That was his only attachment in another world, but he wouldn't stay in some meaningless place because of that attachment.

Si Er thought to himself that this was probably the test that the Flaming Mountain was giving him.

It made him relive the loneliness of that year, and also made him experience the beauty of friendship again. It amplified the resentment he felt at the time of his death, trying to control him with these emotions and make him lose himself in this illusion.

But a fake is a fake; he couldn't possibly get lost in a place like that.

He had long known why he felt so invisible: he didn't belong to that world and wasn't suited to have too many ties with the people there.

Meeting Wen Yihan was an accident, and being saved by Wen Yihan when I was almost burned to death was also an accident.

Although he felt that the person who ultimately killed him was a scoundrel, he thought that perhaps the other person was destined to survive, and that he should have left much earlier.

Having figured all this out, Si'er no longer felt such resentment when recalling those past events.

He simply returned to where he belonged, without having a chance to properly say goodbye to his friends.

But everything he has now truly belongs to him; it is everything he has longed for.

He will stay in this world to cultivate diligently. Perhaps one day he will become a great power and be able to tear through space to visit his old friends.

So he can't stop now.

All the modern things in front of him vanished in an instant, and Si'er found himself surrounded by a blazing fire.

Mianmian was constantly exhaling white mist to cool him down, while Xiaoshuiling was diligently spraying water, trying to extinguish the flames outside.

Seeing this, Si'er tentatively took a big step outside and saw some scenery beyond the ball of flame.

So, is it possible for him to cross that threshold? Is it really that simple?

Si Er found it unbelievable and took two more big steps outward.

Good news, he did indeed step out of the giant fireball that had previously enveloped him.

Bad news, another huge fireball has appeared in front of us. Could that be Xuanxuan?

Just as Si Er was about to call out to Yu Beixuan, the space in front of him suddenly distorted, and he was then transported to another space.

The space was also filled with flames, and in front of Si'er was a little red chick flapping its tiny wings.

The chick's head feathers looked somewhat like burning flames, and its wings and tail also had some flame-like markings.

Upon seeing this, the word "turkey" immediately popped into Si Er's mind.

Remembering that Guagua had said the flames here resembled the true fire of a phoenix, Si'er asked, "May I ask if you are a fire phoenix?"

The little red chick proudly raised its neck: "You have excellent taste."

"Although I am not a fire phoenix."
