Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"Where am I?"

Qian Xiao looked at the boundless darkness; she was somewhat afraid.

Just now wasn't she using her Resonance ability to look at the threads on Xuan Ge's body? How come in the blink of an eye she arrived here?

"Xuan Ge?" Qian Xiao shrank back, retreating; she began to call out to Xuan Ge.

But the words she had just spoken, the sound she had just made, were swallowed by the darkness, as if this place was a land of dead silence.

The sound had no way to spread out; Qian Xiao was so afraid she wanted to retreat a few steps.

Right then, a *click* sound suddenly rang out in front of Qian Xiao.

"Who!?" Qian Xiao immediately faced the sound source, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Xuan Ge, is that you?" Qian Xiao tried calling out again.

And this time, her voice carried trembling.

It was too dark here, as if she was in an extremely narrow space.

Like being in the deep sea, and also like being in a tube that only a body could crawl into.

That kind of enclosed feeling made her feel incomparably suffocated.

Just as Qian Xiao began crazily losing SAN Zhi, a beam of lamplight suddenly lit up, illuminating Qian Xiao's position.

Before Qian Xiao could react, suddenly it seemed someone behind her pushed her hard, knocking Qian Xiao out of the lit area.

Suddenly, a drop of water fell onto Qian Xiao's face.

"Rainwater?" Qian Xiao frowned, raised her hand and wiped her face, then she froze.

She looked at the bloodstains on her palm that seemed to be wriggling slightly, then subconsciously looked up.

Qian Xiao violently froze.

Her red pupils contracted sharply, looking at that golden big tree piercing the sky, looking at the dense, dense human faces covering it; this time her SAN Zhi dropped completely.

"Th-this... what kind of monster is this..."

Those human faces all had features, but their eyes were hollow, their mouths horrified.

"Shu Hu!!!"

A roar transmitted over, interrupting Xiu Ye's terror.

She turned her head to look, only to see a black-haired man in Heijin Kajia wildly dancing a Chang Spear and a greatsword burning with flames.

"Xuan Ge?"

Qian Xiao recognized who this person was; that black ponytail and that face, she remembered.

But... Qian Xiao quickly discovered, this Xuan Ge's pupils were golden, like gilt, shining brilliantly.

Countless tree branches hard as steel turned into sky-filling wood chips under Xuan Ge's wild dance; even though Xuan Ge was merely the size of a leaf of that terrifying big tree, he was like a God of War.

The Chang Spear scattering Purple Lightning and the burning greatsword constantly advanced; that monster called Shu Hu by Xuan Ge was constantly forced to retreat.

Qian Xiao made out some clues; Xuan Ge's face was covered in ferocious bloodstains and sweat, his golden pupils began to seep threads of blood vessels.

In contrast, that big tree Shu Hu, although forced to retreat by Xuan Ge, remained composed and unhurried, still constantly repairing.

Blood rain still fell; Qian Xiao felt the ground beneath her feet begin to become sticky.

Every time Shu Hu retreated it would tremble its trunk, shaking blood out of those dense, dense corpses strung up on branches.

"Ugh!!" Qian Xiao could hold back no longer; she pressed her right hand to her chest, bent over and began vomiting wildly.

On this battlefield, there was only stench and blood, and the wails constantly emanating from that big tree's body.

Qian Xiao heard; she seemed to hear the sounds emanating from that big tree's body.

"General Xuan, it hurts so much, please, give me a quick death."

"General, I'm about to fall into Mo Yin body; I don't want to tarnish the Xuan... Xuan Family Corps' glory, please kill me..."

"Big Brother, my wife and children are entrusted to you..."

Those warriors clad in armor whispered incessantly, stimulating Qian Xiao.

She raised her head to look at Xuan Ge, only to see Xuan Ge's eyes had already turned red, and those eyes were constantly flowing with blood tears.

"Hm? How come there's someone here?"

A voice benevolent like an old grandfather's transmitted into Qian Xiao's ear; she immediately turned her head to look toward the direction the sound came from.

Then she made eye contact with that big tree.

SAN Zhi started dropping again; Qian Xiao right now didn't feel this voice was benevolent at all.

"Ah~ you must be here to join Abundance."

Shu Hu looked at Qian Xiao; its voice was still gentle, but the steel-like branches it stabbed over were not the least bit lenient.

Qian Xiao saw that branch thicker than a building stab over; she summoned her Scissors Weapon, wanting to activate her Resonance ability to sever it.

But when Shu Hu's branch neared, Qian Xiao's sixth sense suddenly lit up.

"Dodge!"

Without hesitation, Qian Xiao dodged this fatal attack in a scrambling rush.

But Qian Xiao ultimately was not a Huan Yu person; her bit of Resonance ability placed here was just a Fate Path Person.

Although Shu Hu's branch didn't hit Qian Xiao, the shockwave still shattered Qian Xiao's weapon.

Of course, the person was also about shaken to pieces.

"Cough cough!" Qian Xiao coughed up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs. She collapsed into the pool of blood, unable to rise.

"So real... now I... am I going to die..."

Qian Xiao's vision began to blur, as if tears were accumulating, yet also as if she were about to lose consciousness.

She saw a sudden attack strike again. She tried to move, but discovered she seemed unable to do anything at all.

Whoosh—

A Fire Blade flared in Qian Xiao's pupils. The hot wind it brought brushed past her face, lifting strands of her hair.

"Xuan... Ge..."

Qian Xiao looked at the Black Armor figure blocking the way before her. She knew who had come.

She reached out her hand, wanting to grasp his Battle Skirt, wanting a sense of security.

"Qian Xiao, you should wake up now."

Xuan Ge turned back. He reached out and grasped Qian Xiao's outstretched hand, then pulled her out of this place — the String Space created by Qian Xiao's Resonance ability.

On the sofa in Qian Xiao's Coffee Shop, Qian Xiao abruptly opened her eyes.

Along with opening her eyes came rapid, heavy breathing.

"I... I'm back?"

Qian Xiao looked at the familiar ceiling. For a moment she somewhat couldn't believe it.

Just now was too real — those internal organs all shattered by the shock, and that battlefield of blood and fire — all real enough that she couldn't forget.

"Qian Xiao, you're awake~" Bo Zai's simpleton voice rang out. It poked its head in, popping into Qian Xiao's field of vision.

"Ah~!" Qian Xiao started. She subconsciously shifted her body backward.

"Hm? What's wrong with you?" Seeing Qian Xiao looking so frightened, Bo Zai scratched its head.

"Before, you suddenly fainted. It was Xuan Ge who carried you here."

Pausing a moment, Bo Zai flew to the sofa's side and sat down, then pointed outside.

"Right now Xuan Ge is cooking. It smells really good~"

Qian Xiao still had lingering fear, but hearing Bo Zai's words, she also smelled the fragrance of food.

Without hesitation, Qian Xiao stood up, then under Bo Zai's puzzled gaze rushed out of the Coffee Shop.

"Qian Xiao, you're really hungry?" Seeing Qian Xiao run out in such a frantic hurry, Bo Zai tilted its head.

But thinking about it, that made sense too. Xuan Ge had produced a lot of delicious food out of thin air, and those things simply didn't exist here.

Looks like Qian Xiao ate canned food for two months and had eaten her fill of it.

Smelling this fragrance, it also couldn't help but be tempted.

Outside the Coffee Shop, Xuan Ge, who was cooking, sensed the person behind him. Without turning his head, he smiled and spoke: "Awake?"

Qian Xiao didn't speak. This time she didn't hesitate. She stepped forward and hugged Xuan Ge from behind.

Xuan Ge: 0. o?

At this moment, having been struck by a Medium Thunder, Xuan Ge was undoubtedly dumbfounded.

Could it be this girl is really hungry?

"It'll be ready soon." Xuan Ge freed a hand and lightly patted the arms Qian Xiao had wrapped around his chest.

"Let me hold you for a while. Don't refuse me."

Qian Xiao buried her face against Xuan Ge's back. Her arms tightened slightly.

Like this, she felt a strong sense of security.

"Uh..." Xuan Ge nodded. Looks like this girl saw something incredible.

But this is also good. This precisely proves that Qian Xiao indeed has the ability to break the deadlock.
