Qing Xunzi once told Shu Shuang that she was a container of pure energy, and when the pure energy was used up, she would be broken. Shu Shuang had always been careful, and she could feel the amount of power in her body, so she never used it lightly, and never wasted it. But now, the pure energy she had released earlier had been smashed into pieces by the darkness. If she didn't use up the pure energy in her body, Xia Xiao would be submerged by the darkness.

Shu Shuang turned his head, and his eyes filled with light blue energy were filled with Xia Xiao. He spread his wings, holding the machete in his hand, and all the energy in his body was gathered on the machete, as if he wanted to tear open the darkness and rush out.

"Shu Shuang, get ready to go."

Xia Xiao raised his head and licked his lips. Although it was a bit risky and even unrealistic, he could not think of any other way. He was always like this. Rather than surrendering, he would rather give it a try. This way, even if he lost, he would have no regrets. His eyes were full of enthusiasm. Although his vitality was exhausted, his desire to survive was as strong as the fire in a volcano.

A hole was created in the pure energy around him, and even though Xia Xiao was calm, he started to panic.

"Shu Shuang?"

They couldn't escape. Only Shu Shuang, who used pure energy, could feel that this darkness really had no boundaries. It was far from as simple as it seemed. This grassland was not even one percent of it. The darkness tore through the space and became a new world. They couldn't escape. Their current strength couldn't break through. They could only wait until someone stronger noticed this.

Turning around, Shu Shuang began to use the pure energy at the bottom of the bottle. She hugged Xia Xiao, and before she could shed tears, she held Xia Xiao's face and said affectionately:

"Xia Xiao, remember me. I will be back."

Shu Shuang and Xia Xiao's foreheads touched, and hot tears dripped onto Xia Xiao's face. He didn't understand why Shu Shuang was like this, but it seemed like something big had happened.

In the entire darkness, only the light on Shu Shuang's body was the most eye-catching. She opened her arms and hugged Xia Xiao, burying him in the warmth and softness that she was already familiar with. Then, she turned and threw herself into the darkness with a desperate momentum, as if to block anything that could hurt Xia Xiao.

Shu Shuang had no time to think or hesitate. She always remembered that she was Xia Xiao's caretaker. This was how she introduced herself when she first met Xia Xiao. Now, like many times before, she fulfilled the duties of a qualified caretaker, standing in front of Xia Xiao and all known and unknown dangers. Even if it was a sharp blade, Shu Shuang would take the initiative to hit it in order to prevent Xia Xiao from getting hurt!

Xia Xiao saw her plunging into the darkness, flapping his wings, trying to grab her hand. But Shu Shuang seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and could never come back. In an instant, she disappeared from Xia Xiao's sight, as if she had reached the bottom of the abyss, and Xia Xiao could no longer find her.

The direction of the finger had returned to darkness, and there was no longer any figure of Shu Shuang wrapped in a coat. Xia Xiao was confused, and looked at his palm again, which was filled with extremely rich light blue energy. This energy originally belonged to Shu Shuang, so Xia Xiao was curious, was it passed to him when their foreheads touched before?

He wasn't sure, but what Xia Xiao wanted to know most was where she was going?

"Shu Shuang!"

Xia Xiao shouted, but her voice could not be heard in the darkness, but Shu Shuang still heard it. Her light blue eyes were full of tears, the size of beads, sprinkled in the darkness, no matter how crystal clear they were, they were shattered into nothingness.

Shu Shuang did not look back, but resolutely rushed towards the woman in the darkness. The latter was wearing a battle skirt and a veil, with a pair of phoenix eyes that were charming and sharp, charming to the core, and charming beyond compare.

"Don't try to hurt Xia Xiao!"

Shu Shuang danced with the remaining pure vitality, but the woman raised her hand, and the two cotton clothes wrapped around Shu Shuang were instantly shattered and turned into dust. The clothes underneath were also difficult to save, and the sachet tied around her waist, like a piece of white paper burned to ashes by the flames, turned into a wisp of smoke in the darkness and disappeared completely.

The clothes were violently torn off by the darkness, which was baring its fangs and claws, ready to dismember Shu Shuang's body. The woman never cared about the beauty of her moves, and anything fancy was not as gorgeous as the fragments.

Shu Shuang gritted her teeth, her face was extremely stubborn, she knew what she was going to do. She couldn't defeat this woman, but she had to delay time, which was the most important thing. Her long hair fluttered in the darkness, emitting the last pure vitality in a ray of light.

The luster resists the darkness and makes the woman fail.

"You left all your strength to him, and you still dare to fight me?"

The woman felt insulted, and Shu Shuang's behavior was like a slap in her face. She clenched her fists, and Shu Shuang's last line of defense was broken. Seeing this, the woman thought it was nothing more than that.

Shu Shuang fell in the darkness, her expression desperate and lost, like a bird with broken wings that could never fly again. The few cracks on her skin became thinner, like the branches at the end of a tree branch, and what could be distinguished was Shu Shuang's smooth skin, a fresh and different life.

Shu Shuang had worked hard to have a nearly perfect body, but now, her body was swallowed by darkness, and she lost all her resistance. Her eyes gradually returned to normal, and her pupils and lenses were clear. She looked into the unknown darkness, and in her eyes and heart, there was Xia Xiao.

The daytime lines on her arms made Shu Shuang and Xia Xiao still have a faint sense of them. She felt that the latter was very confused, like a child who had lost the most important thing. She grabbed her fingers and paced back and forth nervously, tears about to fall. But she was leaving, not knowing where to go, and not knowing whether she could really come back.

Before meeting Xia Xiao for the first time, Shu Shuang put on her favorite dress and prepared for the worst. No matter what kind of pervert Xia Xiao was, she would accept him. Therefore, seeing that Xia Xiao had a warm and kind heart under his cold appearance, Shu Shuang felt particularly happy. But now, she has tasted the sweetness of human love, but has to face death alone, with only endless sadness.

The darkness tore Shu Shuang's body apart bit by bit, mercilessly, but in her mind, Xia Xiao was still there. He would survive. Shu Shuang knew how strong this force was. It was difficult for it to save two people, so it might protect Xia Xiao in the darkness and wait for a chance to live. But when he woke up, he might not be able to see her. Would he cry then?

Shu Shuang's vision was blurred, and she could not even see the darkness. She returned to her childhood, when her master first explained to her the duties of a long-term guardian, on a windy golden grassland.

"Some people live to protect another person."

"Master, who am I supposed to protect?"

"A man named Xia Xiao."

"Where is he?"

"In the near future."

"Then who are you going to protect?"

“Also in the future.”

Shu Shuang followed her master's finger and looked at the starry sky. Now the stars had retracted their faint light, and the sky had darkened, leaving only the ink-black color and the extremely quiet surroundings.

On the other side of the darkness, there was a hysterical cry, almost insane.
