The sudden situation caught Yan Xiao off guard.
Even with all her experiences, Yan Xiao couldn't immediately calm down in the face of the current situation.
She looked around frantically, but saw nothing but white, nothing but white. It was as if she had been pulled into a void by some invisible force.
And in this space, there was nothing but her.
Yan Xiao didn't want to sit and wait for her death, so she quickly ran in one direction. But no matter how she ran, when she stopped, the surroundings were unchanged.
Yan Xiao, who didn't know how long she had been running, was already exhausted, but she dared not stop.
Because every minute she delayed, Shen Muzhi was one minute closer to death. Moreover, Shen Muzhi was currently under the influence of that drug and was alone in a room with Jiang Xinrui. Who knew what might happen?
The thought of that possibility nearly drove her to the brink of collapse. It was at this moment that she truly understood her feelings for Shen Muzhi.
Once a person falls in love, they will have a weakness, which is contrary to the life she once wanted.
But emotions are the hardest thing to control; they can't be controlled at will.
She wasn't the type to overthink things; once she fell in love, she accepted it.
It's just a pity that she doesn't know if she will ever have the chance to express her feelings to Shen Muzhi.
They had no idea whether Shen Muzhi was alive or dead, or whether he had lost his mind and was entangled with Jiang Xinrui.
Just as Yan Xiao was becoming increasingly anxious, a golden light suddenly appeared before her eyes, and this light was expanding at an extremely rapid speed until Yan Xiao could no longer look at it.
Immediately afterwards, a tiny figure jumped out of the ball of light. As the figure jumped out, the ball of light finally disappeared, and Yan Xiao was able to open his eyes again.
Yan Xiao stared wide-eyed in surprise when she saw the little figure that suddenly appeared.
The little figure was exquisitely carved, looking like a two- or three-year-old child, and was currently sizing up Yan Xiao with a pair of innocent big eyes.
Yan Xiao didn't dare to treat this little man as an ordinary child at all. Let alone Yan Xiao, even a fool would know there was a demon in the way the little man made his appearance.
Fortunately, Yan Xiao had experienced the apocalypse and transmigrating into a book, so she could barely keep her composure in the face of such bizarre events.
But she needed to find a way to break the deadlock, so she cautiously took a step back and asked first:
"What are you? Did you bring me to this godforsaken place? What do you want?"
The little figure, who had been scrutinizing Yan Xiao with undisguised disdain in his eyes, immediately raised his chin and said smugly after hearing Yan Xiao's question:
"Hmph! I am the guardian deity of this world, dedicated to maintaining order in this world."
Yan Xiao's eyebrows twitched slightly upon hearing this: "Guardian deity?"
Yan Xiao's brain started working frantically. Thinking about her previous guesses and looking at the current situation, she realized that the little man in front of her must be the person behind Jiang Xinrui.
His appearance now is probably because Jiang Xinrui is about to be killed, and he couldn't sit still any longer and had to show up.
If that's the case, then she's not in such a hurry.
Everything this little thing that claims to be a guardian deity does is to ensure the female lead's survival, so Shen Muzhi, the male lead of the world, is even less likely to die.
She wasn't worried about her safety; if this so-called guardian could just kill her, there would be no need to go through all this trouble.
Once Yan Xiao understood all this, she instantly calmed down and plopped down on the ground without any regard for her image. It wasn't for any other reason than that she had been running too hard and now that she had relaxed, she felt pain all over her body.
When the guardian saw that Yan Xiao was not afraid after he revealed his identity, he sat down on the spot and did not take him seriously at all.
This made him lose face, and he immediately rebuked him fiercely:
"What kind of attitude is this? You monster, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy when you see this guardian deity? Do you believe I can make you turn to ashes immediately?"
Although his tone was fierce, combined with his chubby appearance, it didn't intimidate him at all; instead, it was rather amusing.
Yan Xiao was indeed amused.
She chuckled and beckoned to the guardian spirit with her finger, saying provocatively:
"Come on, let me see what it's like to be reduced to ashes. You know what, I'm actually quite looking forward to it."
Upon hearing this, the guardian's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected Yan Xiao to be so bold.
He pointed at Yanxiao and stammered "you, you, you..." for a long time, but couldn't finish a sentence. He looked quite pitiful.
Seeing his expression, Yan Xiao felt like she was bullying a child, so she lost interest in teasing him and got straight to the point with a serious expression:
"Alright, stop trying to scare me. If you could kill me, you would have done it already. Stop wasting time, just tell me, what do you want from me that you dragged me to this godforsaken place?"
The guardian spirit seemed to have his thoughts exposed, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and replied coldly:
“You are very clever. I can’t kill you, but I can keep you, this monster of unknown origin, in this void forever, so that you can no longer go out and disrupt the course of this world.”
Yan Xiao's eyes darkened upon hearing this, and her heart sank further. If that was the case, what difference would there be between her being alive and dead?
Just as she was thinking this, the guardian deity changed his tone and continued:
"However, if you can promise not to kill the female protagonist of the world and stay away from the male protagonist of the world and never appear in front of them again, I can consider letting you go."
"Heh~"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiao chuckled softly, feeling that the guardian was being a bit too hasty.
If he hadn't been in such a hurry to reveal his purpose, he might have actually managed to fool her.
The guardian spirit, seeing that she could still laugh, immediately flew into a rage:
"why are you laughing?"
"I wasn't laughing at anything, I was just laughing because you're cute."
Yan Xiao shrugged and continued before the guardian spirit could get angry:
"Don't panic, listen to me first, and see if what I'm saying is right."
She then began to analyze:
"If I'm not mistaken, time should be frozen here. That is to say, no matter how long I stay here, time in the outside world will remain at the same point."
The guardian's expression changed upon hearing this:
How did you know?
After he finished speaking, he belatedly realized he had spoken out of turn, so he immediately shut his mouth and shook his head with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
"If you want to maintain the original course of the world and don't want Jiang Xinrui to die, then it's even more impossible for Shen Muzhi, the male protagonist, to die. And now, it seems that the only person who can save Shen Muzhi is me."
