She did not respond immediately to 004.
Instead, they went out for a walk.
The moment I stood up.
She felt a wave of dizziness.
She sensed something was wrong and immediately sent a message to Jiang Yihuan through the ring.
Before fainting, Ye Qi gritted her teeth and cursed, "You bastard, you used underhanded tactics!"
He then fainted on the ground.
*
A gentle breeze brushed her cheek, and the pungent fragrance of flowers filled her senses, making her head buzz and extremely irritable.
She got up out of habit.
Upon realizing that the surrounding scenery was no longer the palace she was familiar with, she immediately became wary and looked towards the boundless grassland.
A sky of azure blue, dotted with fluffy white clouds, and the sun, warm and impartial, showered its benevolent rays upon the earth.
The wind blowing from the open field lifted up stalks of green grass.
It even lifted the corner of Ye Qi's clothes, blowing away the fatigue that had been lingering on her body for some time.
Ye Qi tentatively took a few steps and found that the floor beneath her feet was no longer cold.
She walked forward blankly, trying to plan an escape route.
She walked to the very edge and saw only a grassy slope below.
She had a sudden inspiration and used magic to make vines and grass grow, weaving them into the shape of a blanket, and then sat down on the grass blanket.
Ye Qi grabbed the front end of the grass carpet and then used magic to push herself down.
The next second.
She slid all the way down the highest slope!
The wind that brushed past her cheered for her, praising her cleverness.
The trails left by her sliding through the grass announced her brief moment of pleasure.
"Wow!"
Ye Qi played it thoroughly.
It wasn't until she slid to the very bottom that the violent impact with the air brought her back to her senses for a long time.
She gathered up the straw blanket, turned around, and looked at the high grassland slopes, where the ever-present breeze tousled her hair.
At that moment, she actually felt a rare sense of relaxation.
"Is it fun?"
A familiar male voice came from behind.
Ye Qi immediately turned around alertly and assumed a defensive stance.
The man in front of me was very handsome.
He was wearing a perfectly pressed suit and a top hat, and he looked at the girl who was wary of him with a smile.
He removed his top hat and bowed to her:
"Hello, Ms. Ye Qi."
"Hello," Ye Qi replied.
004 wore a smile that was hard to decipher: "Miss Ye Qi, it's windy here. Why don't we find a quiet and warm place to chat for a while?"
Ye Qi immediately stepped back: "I refuse."
"Sorry, but you have no choice but to agree." With that, 004 reached out to Ye Qi.
"Smack—"
A figure landed in front of Ye Qi and slapped 004's hand away without any politeness.
"Can't you understand human language? She said she refused, get out."
Ye Qi looked up at the figure blocking her way.
The person in front of me was dressed in a white robe, and had a clear and familiar voice.
Ye Qi began to recall where she had heard this voice before.
004 moved her hand that had been slapped away, and instead of being angry, she smiled: "This... sir, if I remember correctly, you are a neutral party, right?"
"Neutral forces should never act on behalf of either side; they can only record all information in the world."
004 blew on the red mark on the back of his hand, then lightly touched it with the fingertip of his other hand. In the next instant, the red mark disappeared completely.
004 then looked at the white-robed man before him, his eyes unreadable, a cryptic smile playing on his lips, his interest growing stronger, and his words carrying a clear warning:
"Sir, don't forget that if you make a move, you'll be punished."
The white-robed man's voice was as cold and clear as a pool of water about to freeze:
"Thank you for your concern, but... this has nothing to do with you."
With a flick of his sleeve, the white-robed man erected a vast, towering ice wall, barely an arm's length away, blocking 004's approach.
The man in white immediately turned around, grabbed Ye Qi's hand, and ran straight behind them.
Ye Qi glanced back at the ice wall that almost bisected the entire grassland and vaguely reached towards the sky, and couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement:
Holy crap.
This guy is a real cheater!
Such a powerful ice wall appeared without a word, without uttering a single spell.
Completely block 004's path, making it impossible for him to bypass or fly over.
Ye Qi seemed to sense something and looked at the white-robed man's hand.
His hands... were trembling.
Ye Qi felt a strange sense of familiarity and reassurance towards the kind person in front of her, making her unable to help but trust him.
"Thump—"
Ye Qi turned around and looked.
004 has shattered the entire ice wall!
At the same moment, the man in white suddenly stopped, half-kneeling on the ground, his body heaving violently, as if he had suffered a great injury.
Just as Ye Qi was about to carry the white-robed man away, 004 had already teleported in front of them!
004 clicked his tongue twice, put his hands in his pockets, and strolled over leisurely, his face still bearing that enigmatic smile:
"I told you, don't act rashly."
"See, isn't this a backlash?"
"Am I right? Li Fan, a neutral force."
Just as 004 was about to approach the man in white, Ye Qi stepped in front of him and blocked his way. A flash of light appeared from her ring, and a huge broadsword suddenly appeared in her hand.
The black and gold broadsword was as sharp as a blade, with dragon-shaped patterns on the blade that faintly emitted golden light. As soon as the blade was revealed, it was as if a coiled dragon was about to burst forth with an arrogant aura. The dragon patterns on the blade were about to come to life and soar into the sky, looking down on the enemy.
That black and gold sword was bigger than her.
