The sun is setting.

The anthill from last night has already been destroyed and buried.

From above, it looks like a vast expanse of newly turned soil, mottled in color, with no vegetation growing there.

Xiao He squatted on the ground and rubbed the clumps of mud that had formed.

"Is this anthill new? Was it prepared specifically to ambush me?"

"Hmm." Wang Xuefeng stood behind her, intending to find a suitable ambush position.

"That's quite a big move..." A serious look flashed in Xiao He's eyes.

It was because she took over Hanfulaf's memories that she realized he was asleep. If her own soul hadn't entered, Hanfulaf's body and abilities would not have awakened.

This resulted in partial memory loss in her, leaving her completely unaware of what happened in the past.

"However, compared to Sammerqui, this is still too small a scope..."

Xiao He shook his head and stood up, the doubts in his heart lingering.

“If Sammeq knew I was back, there wouldn’t have been such a small commotion. Because the longer it drags on, the greater the threat I pose to him…”

"Didn't Wan Anna tell him about my situation at the Capital High Court?"

Xiao He only thought about it in his heart and did not say it aloud, thus adding to Wang Xuefeng's pressure.

"Looks like I'll have to put aside my principles for a while and quickly show off a bit to boost my faith points..."

Lost in their own thoughts, the two of them crawled one after the other into a collapsed cave, barely managing to pass through the narrow gaps.

"This spot will do." Wang Xuefeng looked around and chose a huge rock.

Xiao He had no objection and followed him into this tricky corner.

Wang Xuefeng has now become accustomed to her habit of snuggling into his arms whenever she has the chance.

"Isn't it hot? In this weather." Wang Xuefeng asked softly, feeling helpless.

"A calm mind brings coolness." Xiao He said expressionlessly.

"I'm hot."

"Activate your ice attribute yourself."

"..."

Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but smile wryly.

Is it normal for my girlfriend to be so clingy? I need an answer urgently.

Xiao He never told him that the pressure of competing for the divine position was immense.

This not only concerns the life and death of countless people, but also the life and death of her and Wang Xuefeng.

But this time it's not a countdown to death, but a race against death to win that one and only "champion".

Scattered fragments of memory were not enough for her to immediately understand the rules of this world.

She knew only one thing: Sammek had to die, and the sooner the better.

Therefore, Sammerqui must have the same attitude.

Xiao He knew how dangerous it was for him, so he walked on thin ice after his rebirth, but he also knew that he could not live a life of mere survival forever.

With each passing second, Sammek grows stronger, while he remains stagnant.

The clash with Sammek was a clash of the power of their respective faiths.

Therefore, at present, Xiao He is simply no match for the power of the Resurrection Cult worldwide.

“Police… let’s use this identity…”

The existing Church of Saintess Polis stands there, just like the tangible Church of Resurrection, which can be used to hold those ethereal hopes.

Wang Xuefeng silently pulled his arms closer together to make her more comfortable leaning against him.

If he could, he would wish Xiao He to remain forever innocent, happy, and carefree.

Instead of just escaping from one's own life and death, one gets caught up in another, more complex world of life and death issues.

Xiao He buried his face in his arms.

After a while, he started talking to himself as if for no reason.

“In the past, I told people that I just wanted to fish and dry my nets, and live a simple and ordinary life.”

"But that person told me that I should have a sense of social responsibility."

"Now I have that sense of social responsibility, but I feel a bit tired."

It seems that Xiao He took a long time to give him the above "explanation".

She explained why she couldn't just squat down properly and insisted on sitting in his lap and being held by him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but smile.

"What's wrong? Just turned 18 and feeling a little out of sorts?"

"More than just a little."

"Then don't keep thinking about it. They say there's a balance between work and rest." Wang Xuefeng smiled. "Besides, I'm still here."

"Hmm." Xiao He nodded silently, the hand around his waist showing no sign of loosening.

She still remembers Valerie's criticism of the pilgrims.

Xiao He was once one of these people, lazy and drifting with the tide.

If it weren't for this crisis, such people, though they might not have much of a spotlight, would at least have ensured social stability.

It's merely a matter of stability.

Xiao He felt he was not qualified to judge others' right or wrong, so he did not respond to Valerie's words at the time.

She rescued those people who needed help, even though they all had their flaws.

It is inherently unfair to use a merciless scale to measure sentient beings.

"We can only take it one step at a time," Xiao He sighed softly.

"Don't worry." Wang Xuefeng gently patted her back. "Wherever you go, I'll be with you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao He slowly looked up at him, and after a long while, he finally spoke.

"Should I say... something like that...?"

"What did you say?"

Wang Xuefeng couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that she was up to something again.

"That line, 'Please guide me for the rest of my life'?" Xiao He winked deliberately.

"Hmm..." Wang Xuefeng returned that gaze with a smile: "Thank you for your trust."

Xiao He himself couldn't help but laugh.

This once-popular "famous quote" was not just a polite remark.

Wang Xuefeng is older than me, and there are many things I, who am still inexperienced in the ways of the world, can learn from him.

If you have any questions you can't figure out, you can ask him for advice; it's always better than groping in the dark on your own.

From the very beginning, she and Wang Xuefeng had a relationship that was both teacher and friend.

From fourteen to sixteen, during her most confused and rebellious period, with her only older sister in school and no parents to guide her through adolescence, Wang Xuefeng's guidance and encouragement had a crucial impact on her psychology.

In her words, Wang Xuefeng is the "most awesome" person she has ever met in real life.

He achieved great success at a young age, and is known for his easygoing nature, respect for elders, and love for children.

At first, people admired his skills; later, they admired him as a person.

Putting all other questions aside, just considering whether she could entrust the rest of her life to him, Xiao He's answer was definitely yes. Although she had never considered this matter before coming to this new world.

Therefore, the former "he" did not hesitate to put aside the past and strive to become the "she" in everyone's eyes.

All for the sake of "legitimate status".

"I am grateful to this world for giving me the right to choose, so I will do my best to repay this world."

"This is the meaning of my becoming the god of life."

Xiao He silently stroked his face, and the turmoil in his heart gradually subsided.

Feeling the gentle touch on his face, Wang Xuefeng did not utter a sound to break the silence.

Although she didn't know what Xiao He was thinking, she still gave her a reassuring hug as always.
