"Actually, I've always wanted to ask, what's really going on between you and the Alliance Leader?" Grandpa suddenly became serious, unlike his usual self. "What exactly are you planning to do?"
"I'm so hungry, Grandpa. Want some pizza? I suddenly really want some." Xia Xiang rubbed her empty stomach to change the subject.
"Great, great!" Grandpa immediately laughed. "It's still early today, maybe we can even buy their Supreme Pizza King."
After saying that, he pretended to be happy and left cooperatively, which made Xia Xiang breathe a sigh of relief.
The old man sighed a few times in distress as he left, and then complained, "Do they really think I have dementia? I just ate pizza and haven't even finished my milk tea yet."
Grandpa raised his hand, only to find that the milk tea in his hand was gone, so he tearfully bought himself another cup.
Xia Xiang had nothing to say, nor did she know what to say. She just wanted to end things in the Silver Dimension as soon as possible, begin systematic cultivation, and find Jiu Wu.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Xia Xiang sensed something was wrong and tried her best to break free, only to be knocked over by a heavy palm strike.
Before she closed her eyes, she felt dizzy and the ground was shaking. A black figure was slowly walking towards her.

"Oh no!"
Huai'an and Xuanming were playing chess when Huai'an suddenly realized that the protection he had left behind had been shattered in one blow. Without saying a word, he left, and the chess piece he had just been holding fell onto the chessboard and rolled around, its position still uncertain.
"Why are you moving so fast? Where should you even place this piece?" Xuan Ming pressed down on the piece, placing it in a position that completely sealed Huai'an's fate, leading to their total defeat. "I won!"
The entire spacetime of the Silver Dimension trembled. As the guardian of spacetime, Zuo Ci quickly locked onto the center of the tremor. When he arrived, the person was just approaching Xia Xiang.
Without hesitation, Zuo Ci took Xia Xiang away from there at the fastest speed he had ever done.
The man wanted to give chase, but was entangled by Huai'an who had arrived. The two withstood immense pressure from time and space, and after a few exchanges, the man in black disappeared without a trace.
Huai'an did not chase after them, but instead used his own strength to stabilize the Silver Dimension and found Xia Xiang, whose life was in danger.
"Thank you," Huai'an said gratefully, glancing at Zuo Ci. "The matter is urgent, so I'll take the person with me first. Please handle the rest, senior."
"That person is..." Zuo Ci's breathing became labored, and he swallowed the blood in his throat. That person was incredibly strong; if he hadn't moved quickly enough, he would have lost his life there, let alone been able to save Xia Xiang.
“He is my enemy. I’m sorry for dragging the Silver Dimension into this.” Huai’an concealed the anger on his face and led Xia Xiang back to the Land of Annihilation.
"Ming, save him." Huai'an gently placed the person on the bed and urged Xuan Ming, who was sitting on his side, to hurry up.
Xuan Ming looked up, his hand slipped, and all the remaining chess pieces scattered across the board. "Holy crap, how did she get so badly injured? That person couldn't hold back and took matters into their own hands!!!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Huai'an was already transmitting energy to Xia Xiang, while Xia Xiang's mind was already racing.
She felt excruciating pain all over her body, as if her entire body had shattered.
Xia Xiang's life passed by hastily, and she soon fell into darkness.
After a long while, she heard the gentle voice of a strange woman. When she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful woman with a delicate face and loving eyes.
She seemed to be sleeping in a cradle, only able to make baby-like babbling sounds.
"Ah Ying, your mother really wanted to watch you grow up, but there's no time left." The woman who called herself "Mother" reached out her slender, fair hand and gently stroked her eyes. "Mother is leaving. I'm afraid it will frighten you, Ah Ying. Please don't look."
As the woman finished speaking, the cradle stopped rocking, and the hand that had been on her face grew colder and colder.
After a long while, Xia Xiang's surroundings changed, and she found herself in a valley filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. She had transformed into a little girl of only a few years old, holding a handful of wildflowers, running uncontrollably, her heart overflowing with joy—
As she ran along the flower-lined path, she saw Huai'an looking at her with doting eyes not far away.
She wanted to stop, but she couldn't control her body at all and threw herself into Huai'an's arms.
"What bad luck!" Xia Xiang rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.
"Brother, you're back! I missed you so much!" the little girl said sweetly.
Huai'an smiled gently, picked up the little girl, tossed her up in the air, and caught her steadily.
The little girl's silvery laughter echoed through the vibrant valley—
Xia Xiang: I don't want to see this, thank you!
"Brother, where is Brother Xuanming? Why didn't he come? I miss him so much." The little girl, held by Huai'an, shyly lifted Xuanming up, her little hands crumpling the flowers in her hands.
When Huai'an heard the little girl mention Xuan Ming, her smile stiffened slightly, but she still spoke gently.
"Does Ah Ying really like Brother Xuan Ming? She's been mentioning him a lot lately. You've never mentioned your other brothers and sisters to him alone."
Huai'an was very discouraged. He sent the person away and then sent the little girl to play with other people for a long time. He had already done so much, but that bastard Xuanming was still everywhere. It was a bit infuriating.
“He made a wish to me on his birthday, saying that I would be his little wife from now on, a relationship even closer than that of my father and brother. He would be number one in Ah Ying’s family, and I would always think of him.”
The little girl was completely oblivious to her brother's bad mood and earnestly sold Xuanming.
"Ah Ying, wait here quietly for your brother. I have something to do, I'll be right back." Huai An squatted down, placed the little girl on the grass, patted her head, and then left right in front of her.
