Seeing Qin Wan's dazed expression, a faint smile appeared in Murong Yan's eyes.
Seeing this, Qin Wan came to her senses and said with embarrassment and annoyance, "Senior brother, you're teasing me again..."
"Isn't what you said the truth, senior brother?" Murong Yan continued to tease her even after she exposed him.
"Senior brother, you've gone too far!" Qin Wan complained before breaking free from Murong Yan's embrace.
Just as she was about to leave, Murong Yan grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"Be good, don't wander off, it's dangerous here."
Seeing that she was truly angry, Murong Yan stopped teasing her.
Fortunately, after the teasing, the little girl's mood was noticeably less depressed than before, and her fear of the spatial rift seemed to have been temporarily forgotten.
The two were in a spatial rift, surrounded by complete darkness, so dark that they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces. Murong Yan took out a luminous pearl to illuminate the area.
But the luminous pearl could only illuminate the two of them...
The area around them remained pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face...
“There must be a restriction here, limiting the appearance of light,” Murong Yan said.
"Then, senior brother, what do we do now?"
Although Qin Wan had a way to get out, her current status limited her ability to do so.
“I’ve only seen records of spatial rifts in ancient books, but unfortunately those books are incomplete and don’t record how to leave them.” Murong Yan frowned slightly, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
Fortunately, he was a cultivator after all. Even though he was trapped here, the long lifespan of a cultivator at least gave him enough time to figure out a way to leave.
But Qin Wan is just a mortal, she has never cultivated or practiced abstaining from grains. If she is trapped here, I'm afraid she will have a hard time surviving.
Therefore, even for Qin Wan's sake, he had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Let's look around first."
"good."
He held a luminous pearl in his hand and led her slowly forward, with Qin Wan following closely behind.
A quarter of an hour passed...
The two were still in darkness, and the light from the luminous pearl was only enough for them to see each other clearly.
"This can't go on."
"Junior sister, take a step back with the luminous pearl, and I'll try to see if I can split this darkness."
As he spoke, Murong Yan placed the luminous pearl into her hand, and did not forget to set up a barrier to protect her.
The folding fan in his hand transformed into a sharp sword, slashing fiercely down at the darkness before him...
"Clang!"
The sword energy struck something hard, producing a crisp sound, but the darkness that enveloped them did not dissipate...
Murong Yan's expression darkened slightly, and with a wave of his hand, several more sword energies slashed down in succession...
"Clang!"
"Clang clang clang!"
The darkness before them remained unchanged.
Seeing this, Murong Yan put away his folding fan and returned to Qin Wan's side.
"It seems we won't be able to leave for the time being." Murong Yan looked at Qin Wan apologetically.
"Junior sister, your senior brother is going to break his promise."
"Hmm?" Qin Wan looked up at him, puzzled.
Murong Yan sighed softly and reached out to rub her little head.
"I promised to protect you, but I never thought I would break my promise."
Qin Wan grabbed his hand, removed his clutches from her head, and looked at him obediently.
"It has nothing to do with my senior brother."
"Experiences in secret realms are inherently fraught with danger; otherwise, what would be the point of training?"
"Besides, my senior brother has protected me very well. Aren't I still alive and kicking?"
"Besides, we've only just fallen into this spacetime rift, how does Senior Brother know we'll be trapped here forever?"
"I think with my senior brother here, I'll definitely be fine!"
The little girl trusted him quite a bit...
Although he felt this trust was somewhat blind.
However, this feeling of being trusted is really nice.
Thinking about it, Murong Yan's lips curled slightly, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
"You certainly know how to flatter me."
"Senior brother, I'm not tired either, why don't we walk around and take a look around some more?" Qin Wan suggested.
"good."
This time, Qin Wan learned her lesson and proactively offered her hand to Murong Yan.
He held her hand to protect her; he didn't think there was anything wrong with doing it subconsciously.
But when Qin Wan offered him her hand, for some reason, looking at the fair little hand in front of him, the soft touch of that little hand involuntarily came to mind.
In that instant, a strange feeling, which even he himself was unaware of, arose in Murong Yan's heart.
[Murong Yan's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 41.]
This time, unlike the last time when I was observing my surroundings, I was completely focused.
Murong Yan was clearly a little distracted.
In the darkness, the two stood very close together, and to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, they moved slowly...
The extremely quiet environment made it seem as if they could clearly hear and sense each other's breathing...
The warm, soft little hand in my palm seemed to tremble slightly.
Murong Yan was about to ask her what was wrong.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wan suddenly exclaimed.
"ah……"
Before Murong Yan could even think, his body reacted first, pulling the person firmly into his arms.
"Are you alright?" Murong Yan looked down at Qin Wan in his arms.
Qin Wan shook her head slightly, "I think I stepped on something..."
"Did you sprain your ankle? Can you stand up?"
"I don't think so..."
As she spoke, Qin Wan stepped out of Murong Yan's arms, but after taking only one step, she lost her balance and fell back into Murong Yan's arms.
Murong Yan quickly caught her and held her protectively in his arms.
He then took out a chaise lounge from his Qiankun Ring, helped Qin Wan sit down, and knelt down in front of her to examine her ankles.
"I sprained it, and it's a bit red and swollen."
As soon as he finished speaking, his long, slender hand touched her ankle, and a pure white spiritual energy shone brightly. Qin Wan felt a cool sensation on her ankle.
Once the spiritual energy dissipated, her ankle had fully recovered, showing no signs of redness or swelling.
"Thank you, senior brother." Qin Wan looked at him with a smile.
“You…” Murong Yan looked at her with a helpless expression.
"By the way, senior brother, I think I just stepped on something..." Qin Wan brought it up again.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan seemed to have thought of something, and his expression changed slightly.
Where?
"It's right under the chaise lounge." Qin Wan said, standing up.
Murong Yan waved his sleeve and put the chaise lounge into his Qiankun Ring. He then squatted down and took the luminous pearl that Qin Wan handed him, illuminating the ground in front of him.
In the darkness, a faint crack appeared in the ground.
It was still dark inside the crevice...
"This is... a spatial rift?"
A spatial rift within a spatial rift...
“There is a very dense spiritual energy in here.” Murong Yan stared at the spatial rift with a solemn expression.
Just then, Qin Wan suddenly looked around and then looked up at the sky above them.
"Senior brother, do you think there might be many spatial rifts around here?"
Upon hearing Qin Wan's words, Murong Yan suddenly stood up, stuffed two luminous pearls into Qin Wan's hand, and took out two more from his Qiankun Ring.
A long, slender hand suddenly stretched out, illuminating the area above their heads...
Sure enough, countless identical spatial rifts appeared above them.
dark……
The boundless darkness here is actually formed by countless spatial rifts...
