In the darkness, two crimson dots suddenly lit up.
Creak.
The figure, who had been dozing on the wooden bench, slowly got up, walked to the window, and looked up at the night sky.
Above the starry sky, a full moon shrouded in red hung in the sky, its blood-red light casting a crimson glow upon everything.
Everything in sight was tinged with an eerie crimson.
The night was incredibly quiet; not a sound could be heard, not even the buzzing of mosquitoes.
At that moment, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
Cold and eerie.
It exudes an eerie and chilling atmosphere.
In this eerie atmosphere, someone was humming a song in high spirits.
The tall, slender figure standing by the window admired the blood moon and exclaimed in praise:
"A blood moon?"
"How beautiful!"
Guided by his heart, he opened his arms under the blood moon, embracing the moonlight without fear.
The next moment, change occurs within the body.
Power flows in the blood.
Dongdong!
The demon blood revived, spreading throughout the body with each heartbeat.
"ha……"
A pleasant breath flowed through the shadows.
It's like a tired office worker lying in a perfectly heated hot spring after a long day, slowly exhaling all the fatigue of the day with each breath.
Incredibly comfortable.
Ning Feng raised his hand and clenched his fist at the enormous red moon, as if holding it in his palm.
Under the crimson moon, everything will return to its original state.
The moment the red moon appeared, the power that Ning Feng had suppressed within his body resurfaced!
The soreness from fighting the giant wolves was rapidly subsiding, and the lingering fatigue was quickly fading away.
"Although it's embarrassing, I'm actually incredibly happy right now, I don't feel like myself at all..."
Only when you lose something will you truly understand what you once had, and you will cherish it even more.
My dependence on power has reached this point.
In a great mood, Ningfen thought about it casually:
"If even I think this way, then what about the others...? Won't they burst into tears?"
He hummed a strange melody through his nose, contributing to the eeriness of this world.
That's what they meant by joking, but Ning Feng didn't really think there would be such a fragile contestant.
Is it really possible for someone to cry tears of joy?
Really?
but……
There are always exceptions to everything.
In the heart of the city where Sophie and Anthony live, deep within a shop in the market of the lower town, lies a secret room filled with bottles and jars.
The door to the secret room was blocked from the inside by wooden boards and cabinets, making it impossible to enter from the outside.
A figure whose face was obscured hid in the far corner of the secret room, maintaining a curled-up posture with its legs drawn up for a very long time.
At that moment, shortly after the bell rang, the figure who had wrapped himself tightly in a hoodie suddenly trembled.
"……Um?"
hesitate.
Unbelievable...
After a long while, rustling sounds gradually began to rise, and the figure slowly stood up from the ground, tentatively waving at the cabinet by the door.
Snap.
The cabinet didn't actually fly up as expected; instead, it floated up slightly before falling back down, making a sound in the darkness.
"...It's recovered?"
Silence fell, and the secret room became quiet once more...
Buzz!
All the bottles and jars floated up at the same time in the next moment!
"My strength has been restored!!!"
She jumped up like a young girl, and Xilin felt a lump in her throat.
The thought of regaining her powers even brought tears to her eyes…
Xilin knew that her tear ducts had been overactive lately, but she simply couldn't control them.
She felt wronged!
In order to make up for missing the chance to watch Ning Feng's match live because she declined the invitation, Xilin made a bold decision.
Since you can't watch the game from the stands... why not just go to the stadium to watch it?
Why not just enter the competition directly?
There are no restrictions on legendary players participating. As long as they don't expose themselves and don't compete for any rankings but only seek to protect Ning Feng... then there won't be any problems, right?
How wonderful it would be to be his secret protector one more time!
How romantic!
I'll just tell him secretly when we're together later.
Ning Feng will be very touched.
Although she felt bad for Jiang Wan, Xilin still ran away this time.
I'm going now!
Unlike Jiang Wan, who might struggle to protect herself during a match, Xilin is a legend and confident in handling any unexpected situation.
When you encounter a problem, just tackle it head-on; it's that simple.
That's how the plan was made, and that's how the action was carried out.
At first, everything went smoothly. Ning Feng and Jiang Wan never expected Xilin's thought process and had no suspicions whatsoever.
First of all, Shirin is a legend, and she can't afford to lose face like that. Besides, she's also a socially awkward person who's extremely resistant to crowds, so it's hard to imagine her doing something so outrageous.
Shirin quietly purchased all the necessary items, including an alchemist identity that was only nominally at the third rank.
When Ning Feng participated in the competition, she secretly followed him alone, even hiding at the very back of the crowd for fear of being discovered.
Although Ning Feng almost discovered them, they narrowly escaped by taking advantage of the crowd.
Everything had gone so smoothly that Shirin thought the next part would be a pleasant trip, but then...
