"Boom!"
The earth is cracking extensively, and seawater is constantly gushing out from the cracks.
The low-lying areas were quickly transformed into a vast expanse of water.
The palace is gradually sinking, and the mysterious light is gradually disappearing.
The stars in the sky fall into people's eyes, and everything before them seems to become real.
Xiao He flapped her wings, wanting to chase after the abyss, because she sensed that Wang Xuefeng's ring was falling.
"Snow Peak—"
She was in a state of panic, fearing that he would be swallowed up by hell.
"Buzz..."
An invisible barrier kept her out, so she could only lie on the rift and knock on this hard "glass".
[Xiao He: Where are you?!]
[Message not sent successfully.]
[Note: Too far away to join the team.]
She drew her knife and slashed at the barrier with all her might, but the barrier did not react at all.
"Snow Peak—"
There was no echo in the rift valley, as if it were a completely different world from the surface.
The constantly falling ring mirrors her constantly falling heart.
"This time...it's clearly different from the dream...but why..."
Xiao He bit her lip tightly. The "different" she was referring to was Wang Xuefeng's status on her friends panel.
In the "dream," Wang Xuefeng simply disappeared, but at this moment, Wang Xuefeng clearly hasn't disappeared yet.
“He’s down there! He must still be down there! He’s waiting for me!” Xiao He frowned.
She gripped the hilt of the knife, switched to "undying" mode, and tried to pierce the barrier again.
invalid.
Chop.
invalid.
"Hiss... hiss..."
Just then, a slippery crawling sound suddenly came from behind.
Xiao He paused, unable to turn around.
Because Medusa was behind him.
"Hiss... I really didn't expect that you would be the victor." Medusa spoke in human language, seemingly no longer bothering to pretend.
Xiao He remained remarkably calm: "What do you want to do?"
“I want…your body.” Medusa smiled coldly.
"Isn't this body enough for you?" Xiao He said.
“Oh?” Medusa slowly crawled up behind her. “I don’t understand… what you mean.”
Xiao He revealed a mocking smile: "Bluebird, is that you?"
"Oh! So you already knew?" Medusa said, but there was no surprise on her face, and there was even a hint of amusement.
Xiao He never turned around, nor did he close his eyes; his gaze remained fixed on the abyss below, as if waiting for something.
"Don't look down there, look at me..." Medusa slowly raised her hand and placed it on her shoulder.
Suddenly, Xiao He blurted out, "Can I ask you a question?"
“Of course, go ahead and ask,” Medusa smiled.
"Do you think the change of eras between the sun and moon is necessary?" Xiao He really didn't shy away from the question at all, as if he regarded her as an ally.
Medusa was slightly taken aback and almost lost track of Xiao He's train of thought.
“I think…it’s very necessary.” She smiled again.
"Why?"
"We must be fair!"
“Yes, that makes a lot of sense.” Xiao He nodded.
Medusa was truly stunned, unable to even guess what she wanted to say.
“I said, I also think your idea is very good!” Xiao He repeated.
"So...?" Medusa blinked.
"So could you please stop standing behind me?" Xiao He asked calmly.
Medusa remained silent for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...you? Are you begging for mercy? Hahahaha...I've never seen such a refreshingly unique way of begging for mercy..."
"No, I mean, you should at least leave yourself some space, right?"
"What's the meaning?"
"If you do it this way, the three of us will be too cramped," Xiao He said expressionlessly.
Medusa was taken aback: "Three people?"
"Whoosh—"
Before the words were finished, a whooshing sound rang out.
At the same time, a bullet streaked across the sky like a meteor.
"Bang!"
"Click—"
The sound of the barrier shattering echoed in their ears, and it even sounded crisp.
Medusa's eyes widened in surprise.
The next moment, her body began to gradually turn to stone.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she simply couldn't understand it.
The crystalline fragments seemed to move in slow motion before her, like pieces of a shattered mirror of time.
In those fragments, she seemed to see her former self.
This was the only time she ever saw her own beautiful eyes.
It happens only once.
Medusa, completely petrified.
The rift valley was suddenly filled with seawater, and the original barrier began to collapse on a large scale.
Medusa's statue lost its support and, unsurprisingly, fell into the sea when the wind blew it down.
"call……"
Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief, his hand gripping the hilt of the sword still trembling slightly.
“You’ve finally made it up…” she said.
At that moment, behind her, Wang Xuefeng stepped out from a crack in the barrier.
"I'm sorry, I'm a little late."
"Where did you go?"
"I went to pick up the ring."
"..."
Xiao He turned around and met his eyes.
The latter grinned and opened his arms wide: "My wife's token of love, I can't bear to throw it away!"
Xiao He nestled into his arms, coldly muttering, "Bastard."
A little while later, she suddenly realized something was wrong.
