"Are you going to make a move or not?" The white-clad warriors behind him grew increasingly dissatisfied, but Liu Fang remained unmoved.
Another half hour passed, and then the white-clad warrior turned and left, carrying his weapon!
"Hey, are you trying to rebel?" Liu Fang shouted angrily.
"Excuse me, Miss Liu Fang, we've received other notifications. You'll have to handle this yourselves!" the white-clad warrior who had spoken earlier said impatiently. He left alone, followed by the eight others who turned and left as well.
"They are important prisoners at headquarters. Aren't you afraid of being punished by headquarters when you get back?" Liu Fang stomped her foot in anger.
"What do we care about prisoners? Since headquarters has recalled us, we certainly won't linger. Besides, Miss Liufang will take responsibility for this!" After saying this, the group strode away from the shop and disappeared from the Eastern Continent in no time.
"Hahaha..." Leng Yue clapped her hands expressionlessly, "You've been abandoned by everyone!"
"It seems you overestimated your strength?" Qianchen unleashed a powerful sword strike, knocking Liufang to the ground.
"It was my misjudgment." Liu Fang sat on the ground wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, her previous split personality completely gone. "You can kill me or do whatever you want with me, I won't even blink."
"Are you crazy?" Leng Yue muttered. "How can you change so quickly? You're different every minute. If you keep changing like this, no one can get along with you properly, okay?"
"You were fooled too?" Liu Fang smiled sadly. "Looks like my acting skills are getting better and better."
"What do you mean?" Leng Yue's face darkened, and she looked back at Qian Chen, who also looked completely bewildered. "Don't even think about lying to us again. We won't fall for it again."
Liu Fang glanced outside. Before they confronted Leng Yue and the others, they had frozen the area in place. Therefore, everything here was now still; the white-clad warriors had long since vanished without a trace, so Liu Fang had nothing to worry about.
She then took out a yellow bead from her heart. "This is what Yin Cang found. It contains secrets about headquarters and these worlds."
"You two have broken up, why would he give you this?" Leng Yue sensed the connection between Liu Fang and the beads the moment Liu Fang took them out. But the more this was the case, the less she could reveal it.
“We never broke up,” Liu Fang said with rare calmness, without sadness or hysteria, as if she were telling someone else’s story.
“Yin Cang and I fell in love at first sight. At that time, he was already a mission taker, while I was just a nobody in a small world who knew nothing. In that story, I was a gold digger who was abandoned by the male protagonist. But after Yin Cang came along, he changed my fate.” Liu Fang’s face was filled with longing.
“Yin Cang was already quite high-ranking back then. He had done a lot of missions and knew some loopholes. It was by taking advantage of these loopholes that Yin Cang brought me back with him when he left and turned me into a mission taker.”
"Back then, we were so sweet together. When Yincang did missions, he would take me with him. For the same mission, he would complete the high-level ones, and I would complete the minor ones. But no matter what, we would always try our best to be together."
A happy smile graced Liu Fang's face, but it vanished in an instant.
"Later, the headquarters upgraded the system, and we could no longer be together. So, Yin Cang began to constantly search for new methods. By chance, Yin Cang found Fairy Tale Town and found this bead."
"Yin Cang discovered that this bead contains enormous energy. It can regenerate a world or provide support for a known world. So, he had a sudden inspiration to take the bead away and create a brand new world, separate from headquarters, where the two of us could live and have complete freedom."
"However, before he could figure out where to use the bead, or how to use it, headquarters discovered it."
"Yincang knew he couldn't escape it, so he secretly gave me the bead and then staged a scene with me, saying we broke up and I would personally send him to his death. But how could I agree to that? He was the person I loved most, how could I just watch him die?"
Liu Fang covered her eyes, a single tear sliding down her fingers. "He didn't give me a chance, he planned everything..."
"Do you know what it feels like to watch your loved one die in front of you? I was in unbearable pain, and I wanted to go with him. But, because Yin Cang left me a message saying that as long as that bead exists, he will stay."
"So I clung to this sliver of hope and searched everywhere for a solution. Only to find out later that the bead couldn't revive someone whose soul had vanished. That's when I realized I'd been deceived!"
"I want to die with Gin-kura, but I'm not willing to. I think, since I'm not even afraid of death, why not avenge Gin-kura before I die?"
"So I started to pretend, act crazy, and act like I was afraid of death. As long as I could keep headquarters from being on guard, I would have succeeded."
"Seeing you all, I suddenly felt that there was hope for my revenge. I believe you are not ordinary people. You must have something extraordinary about you to have been able to evade the headquarters' pursuit so many times."
After Liu Fang finished speaking, she tossed the yellow bead in her hand to Leng Yue, "Take it. I won't force you. I just hope that one day when you have the ability to overthrow the headquarters, you won't forget to avenge Yin Cang."
Leng Yue caught the bead, feeling its vibrant life force in her hand. "What if we can't do it?"
"If I can't do it, I can't do it," Liu Fang seemed to have long since stopped caring. "Yin Cang is gone, and I've done my best. I'm tired, I don't want to be alone, I'm going to find him..."
After Liu Fang finished speaking, her body transformed into countless butterflies, which slowly began to dance. Just then, the yellow bead suddenly shone brightly, and the colorful butterflies from before were absorbed into it.
Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen in surprise, "What's going on?"
Qian Chen shook his head, "It seems it's time to end this trip to the Eastern Continent."
Leng Yue nodded, put the yellow bead into her Qiankun bag, and then returned to the fairytale town. After they left, the previously still world became lively again.
The citizens of Tianxuan City, now back to normal, felt as if they had just woken from a brief dream. None of them knew that a group of white-clad warriors had once come here, and that several of them had left without a trace.
"Where is the Holy Maiden?" Walking through the woods, Leng Yue suddenly remembered that the Holy Maiden seemed to have disappeared when they left.
"The saintess and the guards were all imposters, those men in white. They were the same saintess and guards from before," Qian Chen chuckled. "It was all a gimmick to lure us here and then capture us."
"Why is Liu Fang always changing? I can't figure out her purpose at all." Leng Yue touched the bead and sighed softly.
"Between life and death, there is always a struggle." Qianchen sighed, "Death is not such an easy choice."
