"I'll do it!"

Gu Nancheng glanced at the dark and terrifying little bridge ahead, and with a righteous spirit, he wanted to rush forward.

Fang Ruotang grabbed his hair from behind and pulled him back forcefully.

"Ouch! Ouch! It hurts, Ruoruo, let go, let go quickly."

Fang Ruotang rolled her eyes and let go.

She said irritably, "Big brother, don't you know what you're capable of? You don't need to risk your life to show off in front of me! You should know that if you die, you're dead. I have five other guys like you. I won't be heartbroken just because you're dead."

Gu Nancheng frowned, his handsome face contorted, and said resentfully, "Xiao Ruoruo, you're so heartless!"

"What do you mean by heartless? I'm just telling you the facts. To put it another way, if it wasn't you who died, but one of them, would you watch me grieve for the one who died? How long could I be sad? Besides, I have the future of so many people on my shoulders. How could I possibly grieve?"

Fang Ruotang's words were harsh, but they were also heartfelt. Not to mention that others would not allow her to be depressed, she herself would not be so devastated by a man.

So there's really no need to rush in and try to show off when you know you're not capable enough; that would just seem foolish.

Gu Nancheng put away his playful expression and said seriously, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if you forget about me. I can't let anything happen to you in front of me. Even if I know there is danger ahead, I would rather risk my life than let you be in any danger."

Fang Ruotang looked at Gu Nancheng speechlessly, feeling that he still didn't understand what she meant. She definitely thought there was no danger!

Although she didn't understand why, she had a strong sixth sense. She looked at the small bridge without any emotional fluctuation, which showed that this challenge had almost no impact on her.

"Seriously, are you two acting out a romance drama here?" Little Mirror couldn't help but complain, her tone full of disdain.

"Can't you see me, such a big artifact spirit, right here? What, are you putting on an act?" Little Mirror's words, though not named, were directly aimed at Gu Nancheng.

Gu Nancheng's eyes lit up; he didn't care at all about being rebuked.

Do you have a solution?

[Nonsense! I have so many good things in my treasure bag. If I didn't have this little bit of self-defense magic weapon, would I even dare to come out and roam the world?]

The little mirror had a thuggish air about it that she'd picked up from who-knows-where.

He must have been secretly reading some storybook again.

Alright, I'll help you out since you're my brother. You know I'm a very loyal person.

"The case is solved," Little Mirror said.

Fang Ruotang knew he must have been eating alone behind her back.

No wonder you've been so quiet lately. Tell me, what have you been reading behind my back?

[You mean... no, what do you mean by "carrying you on my back"? You're my adult, let's watch it together later. I'm telling you, it's a really old movie, and there's this long-haired guy in it who's really charming.]

[Hairy?]

It's him...

Fang Ruotang: ...

"Alright, take it back! Take out the magic weapon first, and we'll talk after we get through this."

[Here's a protective glass armor for you. Once you put it on, it will form an invisible armor layer against your skin, protecting you from external attacks.]

He casually reached into the small mirror.

Fang Ruotang accepted the answer and waited for him to continue.

Then he stopped talking.

Fang Ruotang remained silent.

[For the two of us, you're only giving us one piece of protective glass armor?]

"It's not my fault; they were careless and only prepared one item, while I only have one."

[That’s okay, that’s okay. 】

Fang Ruotang stopped wasting words and directly applied the label to Gu Nancheng.

Gu Nancheng twisted his body, refusing to put it on, and shouted, "You wear it, you wear it!"

"Are you stupid? You put it on, walk over, then hand it to the little mirror, and the little mirror gives it to me to put on, isn't that easy?"

Gu Nancheng froze, his body contorted in a daze, a look of utter despair on his face, and he began to question the meaning of life.

Why is this happening?

When did he and Fang Ruotang switch brains?

"Any more questions?" Fang Ruotang asked, puzzled, seeing Gu Nancheng standing there stiff as a wooden statue, wondering what he was up to now.

"Yes!" Gu Nancheng looked at Fang Ruotang with a deep look and said with dissatisfaction, "How could you secretly become smarter behind my back?"

"Huh?" Fang Ruotang didn't understand what Gu Nancheng meant.

Gu Nancheng looked at Fang Ruotang with his small eyes, seemingly resentful.

"Didn't you notice how smart you are now? How did you evolve without even asking me to join you?"

Fang Ruotang was both amused and exasperated; she hadn't taken it seriously at all!

"Alright, hurry up and go! Don't delay us, they're all waiting for us outside!" Fang Ruotang gave Gu Nancheng a push.

She wasn't particularly smart, but she was just a little quick-witted.

Wearing the protective glass armor, Gu Nancheng tentatively stepped onto the small bridge, and the flower-shaped blood mist below the bridge instantly came to life.

The pieces trembled continuously, one after another.

Gu Nancheng felt a jolt of panic as he trembled, but he did not back down. He stomped his foot hard on the bridge and then placed his other leg on it as well.

In an instant, the flower-shaped blood mist dispersed, like wisps of smoke, heading towards Gu Nancheng.

Fang Ruotang frowned as she watched Gu Nancheng being enveloped in blood mist in an instant, disappearing from sight. She couldn't help but feel worried.

Is this breastplate okay?

[These small mirrors are carefully selected, so adults can rest assured!]

[Nancheng, are you alright?]

【fine. 】

Gu Nancheng realized the blood mist's intention, and his face turned dark. They wanted to crawl through a hole, no matter which one, above or below.

Thinking about what he would face without the protection of this protective glass armor, his face turned green and he went berserk.

Especially since Fang Ruotang will also be crossing this bridge soon.

Gu Nancheng thought that killing one more person would prevent these disgusting things from running into Fang Ruotang later.

Fang Ruotang stood under the bridge, watching Gu Nancheng not cross the bridge quickly as originally planned, but instead start fighting on the bridge, but she did not urge him.

After all, with the protective glass armor, his safety wasn't an issue. Besides, he was just there for training, so he could fight monsters whenever he wanted.

After watching for a while, Fang Ruotang got tired and took out a chair. Then, feeling that wasn't enough, she took out a small table, set out delicious food, and ate and drank while watching Gu Nancheng, who seemed to be getting more and more courageous as he killed, as if he had taken some kind of drug.

Are you tired? Do you want to come down from the bridge and get something to eat before going back up to fight?

No need, I can continue.

Okay! You're busy now!

After Fang Ruotang finished eating and drinking, seeing that Gu Nancheng was still not finished, she simply changed the chair to a chaise lounge and then asked Xiao Jingzi to project a picture for her.

The same space, but the area above and below the bridge is like two different worlds.

Bloodshed and violence on the bridge.

Under the bridge, all is peaceful and beautiful.
