Three Souls Attack: Healing Heartbreak with Sweetness
A giant phantom, condensed from bitter mist, swung its arms, sending shards of bitter chocolate flying like sharp blades. Ling Yuan's personality reacted incredibly quickly, his mouth slicing a golden arc of light, slicing the shards into harmless star shapes—each star turning into a candy as it landed, causing Xiaodou's eyes to light up.
"Xiaodou, hide behind me!" Ling Yuan stood in front of him with a cold face, but his shoulder armor was scratched by the phantom's sharp claws.
"No!" Xiaodou shook his head and slapped the ground with his panda paws. "What she needs is not a fight, but sweetness!"
Bai Yan's personality took the opportunity to slip onto Phantom's lap, and with fox fire condensed on his fingertips, he baked a mini osmanthus cake. "Try it? This is made with the strawberries in your memory."
Phantom froze, claws dangling in mid-air. Xiaodou took the opportunity to nibble on the bitter mist from her ankle, which brought back the burnt flavor of the first time GM secretly learned to bake a cake—back then, he couldn't even turn on the oven, yet he stayed up all night for her.
Lin Shen's personality simultaneously hacked into the witch's magic circle, and her emotional diary popped up on the holographic screen:
"The 37th time I rejected his chocolate, I actually hid the wrapper."
"I tore up the invitation to Dessert Planet because I was afraid my hopes would be dashed."
Bai Yan chuckled as he held the osmanthus cake in his hand: "You see, he is clumsy but sincere, just like me in the demon world, who doesn't know how to express himself but is willing to protect with his life."
Ling Yuan suddenly threw a candy bomb, which exploded into a heart-shaped cloud in Phantom's palm: "When he spelled your name with an interstellar battleship, you were crying. You must have felt very happy, right?"
Lin Shen pushed up his glasses and pulled up the GM's interstellar bill: "Do you know how much bitter chocolate he buys every year? All to study your taste."
Xiaodou took advantage of the illusion's hesitation to stand on tiptoe and kiss her fingertips—those were the fingers GM had bandaged her wounds with. The bitter mist instantly transformed into rainbow frosting upon contact, revealing an unhealed scar beneath. The scar's shape was strikingly identical to the gash on Bai Shenyuan's chest.
"So you're also suffering the pain of sharing life..." Xiaodou choked up, "Just like Bai Shenyuan split my three souls, you're also splitting your own heart."
The phantom collapsed, revealing the shadow of a little girl curled up in the center. She sobbed, clutching the broken chocolate box. "I'm afraid his sweetness will be short-lived, and I'm afraid I'm not worthy of eternity..."
"Little bitter!"
The GM's voice suddenly rang out from the rift in time and space. He was wearing a wrinkled interstellar pirate suit, holding melted chocolate and a bouquet of sweet flowers in his arms. "Actually, I already knew that you rejected me not because you don't like sweet things, but because..."
"It's because I'm afraid of losing." The witch's true form appeared in the shadows. The hem of her skirt was no longer a proposal letter, but the wrapper of the first chocolate the GM gave her. "I'm afraid of losing everything after tasting the sweetness, just like my parents did."
Bai Yan's personality waved gently, and Foxfire built a bridge between the two of them: "But the real sweetness is the courage to taste it again even if you lose it - just like when Xiaodou chewed my marriage certificate, I saw my own heart clearly."
The GM knelt on one knee and handed her a piece of unevenly shaped chocolate: "I just learned how to make this. It's still burnt, but..."
"But inside it are your fingerprints, the warmth of foxfire, and fragments of interstellar meteorites." The witch took the chocolate, and her tears turned into sugar beads. "Just like my heart, although full of cracks, it is filled with your sweetness."
Xiaodou watched the two embrace and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his panda paw. The ground cracked, revealing fragments of the Concept Rat Throne. The chain pattern on the fragments perfectly matched the witch's scars. The mechanical cat's chip flashed red:
"Warning! Residual consciousness of the Heavenly Dao has been detected. These fragments are absorbing emotional energy!"
The three personalities of Bai Shenyuan's soul changed color at the same time. Ling Yuan quickly picked up Xiaodou and retreated. Lin Shen deployed a protective barrier. Bai Yan reached out to touch the fragments, and unexpectedly saw the scene of Bai Yan's parents being imprisoned in chains in the Demon World chapter.
"So..." Bai Yan's voice trembled, "My parents weren't killed by the Sky-Devouring Beast. They were tortured to death by the Heavenly Dao using the 'Sweet Shackles'."
Xiaodou held his hand tightly. The black hair in the panda's eyes had spread to his whole body, but at this moment, a firm light flashed: "We will destroy all shackles, whether in the past, present or future."
