Protagonist:
Xuan Ge
"Are you the only one here?"
Xuan Ge walked beside Kathisia, looking at this Sky City that was like ruins, and he was very curious.
Wind passed through the broken pillars, carrying a chill; even the echoes sounded hollow.
"Hmm... not exactly. I still have friends."
Kathisia had her hands behind her back, stepping one tile at a time, as if stepping on the floor lines would cause something to happen.
She stepped seriously, like playing hopscotch as a child, only this place was too big; no matter how she jumped it looked lonely.
"I see a city below, looks quite festive. Are they preparing for the New Year?"
Xuan Ge saw through the cloud layer that on the massive island below, there seemed to be many people, many in strange attire, and also many...
Hehe...
They're nuns~
Kathisia saw Xuan Ge laughing foolishly at the cliff edge; she also looked down following his gaze. She tiptoed, but still only saw rolling clouds. She couldn't see anything.
"Your expression is a bit strange~ I always feel something's off about you."
This person is so strange. He has no frequency of his own, but can merge into frequencies, even devour frequencies, similar to assimilation.
"Hehe, how about we go down and take a look?"
Xuan Ge answered irrelevantly; he recalled Da Lihua wearing a white silk nun habit — that was absolutely amazing.
"You want to participate in the Carnival Festival?" Kathisia revealed a smile, not expecting Xuan Ge to be interested in this.
"Carnival Festival?" Hearing this term, Xuan Ge instantly recalled the time he, Jing Yuan, and Ying Xing secretly drank Dan Feng Wine and got caught.
That time was indeed wild; Dan Feng swung Cang Long Zhuo Shi recklessly without regard for her life.
"The Carnival Festival is the grandest annual celebration of Li Na Xi Ta. People don masks, cast aside identity and prejudice, and hold masquerade balls all night, indulging in fine wine and music."
As Kathisia walked, she hopped on the floor tiles; her spirit ears twitched, drawing Xuan Ge's gaze.
"And at the climax of the revelry, the Suizhu Ying Bailuo will descend a Miracle, placing a Crown on the most outstanding performer."
Don't understand.
Xuan Ge understood — this is celebrating the New Year.
But didn't understand — what the hell is this Ying Bailuo. He pondered: it sounds like a village chief, yet also like a god enshrined in a temple.
Something like a god? One per place?
"How about it? If you're interested, you can go take a look."
Seeing he seemed to be pondering, Kathisia suggested Xuan Ge go have fun.
"Then are you going?"
"Me..." Kathisia pondered a moment, then chose to tell the truth: "I'm actually waiting for someone..."
She had actually sensed it — the person before her was not the one she was waiting for.
But before Kathisia could finish, Xuan Ge shrugged and interrupted: "Alright then, I'm not going either."
Xuan Ge didn't taste that Kathisia had a trace of guilt; rather, he felt this girl was rather pitiful.
Alone in this empty hall — it must be very lonely.
This seems to be the girl who can't return home that Jin Guang spoke of.
It should refer to her.
"Eh?" Kathisia didn't expect Xuan Ge to answer like this. "Why?"
She thought Xuan Ge was very interested in the Carnival Festival, which was why he descended upon Li Na Xi Ta in such a way...
Although this descent method was rather special, Xuan Ge was full of lies; she didn't know which sentence was true.
"If I go to the Carnival, what about you?"
Xuan Ge swept a glance over this place that resembled a ghost city — only some guards that looked like stone statues.
"If you're not going, then I'm not going either. Anyway, I can't go home either."
Xuan Ge spoke these words sincerely; he truly couldn't go back.
His power sealed by Jin Guang, he was now merely a general with great strength; besides not being able to die, he had nothing left.
Seeing a trace of melancholy surface in Xuan Ge's eyes, Kathisia believed him.
Eyes are the windows of the soul; eyes don't lie.
"Actually I can accompany you... but... but..."
Kathisia wanted to say that if she accompanied Xuan Ge to the Carnival Festival, it would be very strange.
Because no one can see her; that would make Xuan Ge look very strange in the crowd.
Plus Xuan Ge is already very strange; if you add talking to himself, it's even stranger.
Just thinking of Xuan Ge speaking to empty air, she felt shy.
"Just say whether you want to or not. I can do anything."
Xuan Ge extended his hand, revealed a confident smile, and tilted his head toward below.
"I am the strongest."
"The strongest..."
Kathisia looked at Xuan Ge's outstretched hand, saw Xuan Ge's confident smile, and subconsciously believed him.
"Hehe, looks like a little tsundere." Seeing her saying one thing but her body betraying her, Xuan Ge no longer hesitated.
He grabbed Kathisia's hand and, following the momentum, scooped her up in a princess carry.
"Eh?" Kathisia froze; she didn't even blink, and just like that lay in Xuan Ge's arms.
"Here we go~" Xuan Ge stomped the floor, bent his knees, and exerted force.
"Wait!"
Seeing Xuan Ge's power-gathering motion, Kathisia felt something was very wrong, as if this one move could launch them out of Solaris.
"I'm a young man; this is precisely the age for arrogance."
Xuan Ge didn't listen, preparing to take Kathisia and fly up.
Superb charged launch, blasting a huge crater in the Sky Hall floor; bolstered by Xuan Ge's absolute strength, he carried Kathisia and instantly traversed the Sky Sea.
Kathisia:?
Leviathan:?
Fu Lu De Li Si:?
Old Ma:?
Kathisia, having just traversed the Sky Sea, was still in a daze.
But she was soon drawn by the true starry sky.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say how beautiful, but found she couldn't make a sound, and couldn't breathe either.
"The king descends from heaven; are you ready, Kathisia."
Hearing the words by her ear, Kathisia was about to wonder why Xuan Ge could speak, but before she could look at Xuan Ge, her gaze plummeted wildly downward.
A superb weightlessness hit; Kathisia immediately shut her eyes and proactively looped her arms around Xuan Ge's neck, hugging tightly, like a frightened kitten.
"Come on, relax, I'll protect you." Xuan Ge reached out and grabbed Kathisia's slender arm.
"You... what are you trying to do?" Kathisia perceived Xuan Ge wanted to pry open her tightly clasped hands, and she instantly panicked completely.
We just came out of the Sky Sea, still at the highest point in the sky; if we fall, we'll probably turn into Kathisia paste and Xuan Ge paste.
"Of course it's flying." Xuan Ge revealed a wicked grin, and peeled the tightly clinging Kathisia off himself.
"Aaaaah——"
Kathisia, weightless, separated from Xuan Ge's embrace.
"Hahaha, your mouth's blown puffy by the wind." Xuan Ge took out his phone and put the photo before Kathisia's eyes.
Seeing her own hair disheveled, mouth puffed full of wind, flustered look, Kathisia instantly blushed.
Don't know if from anger, or from shame.
Anyway, the girl's blush explained everything.
"Jerk!"
Kathisia fiercely cursed Xuan Ge, then discovered Xuan Ge had actually been holding her hand all along.
His hand is so warm...
Only then did Kathisia realize, Xuan Ge seems like a sun...
But before she could think further, Xuan Ge pulled her back into his arms.
"Ready? We're landing."
Seeing the Li Na Xi Tower below growing increasingly distinct, Kathisia nodded and hugged Xuan Ge tighter.
This meteor-fall journey left her somewhat exhilarated.
So thrilling, so like it.
Just don't know how big a crater Xuan Ge's descent will smash out this time.
But thinking about it, no need to worry.
He's this strong, so he must be very rich... right...?
