Chapter 413

The weirdo had no intention of attacking; instead, he said, "How about this? I challenge you! If you lose... hehehe..."

The weirdo, imagining what he could do if he won, couldn't help laughing out loud.

When Chui Xue heard him insult her like that, her competitive spirit flared instantly.

She stood up on her own and said, "Hmph, you? Fighting the Young Lady? How shameless!"

Her tone used the most hateful voice she'd ever mustered in her entire life.

"Fine! You two fight—I'll be the referee!" Luo En was bored anyway; watching a show wasn't a bad way to pass the time.

Chui Xue gave Luo En a look of petty grievance, glaring at him. He saw that terrifying expression and immediately ran over, saying, "This weirdo's obviously trash—don't be afraid. You've got your sister here too. If anything happens to you, we'll save you right away."

After hearing Luo En say that, Chui Xue thought maybe it was fine—she'd just treat it as a little relaxation.

So she stepped forward.

"Let the Young Lady teach you a lesson, so you'll know what real power is," Chui Xue said.

After speaking, Chui Xue immediately launched into combat.

Chui Xue was too eager to defeat him, so she threw punches rapidly, relentless in her assault—before long, her stamina began to fail.

The weirdo seized her moment of breathlessness, savoring it—he rarely got to enjoy such moments.

Chui Xue unleashed her ultimate technique, striking hard at the weirdo—but he dodged effortlessly.

Chui Xue's hands were pinned, unable to move.

The weirdo's hands began to wander. Just as he revealed a lewd, smug expression, Luo En leapt forward.

Luo En yanked Chui Xue back, pulling her into his arms. "Looks like you weren't serious about a fair fight—but my people are off-limits."

With that, he punched the weirdo flying. The weirdo was now enraged—he bared his fangs and growled fiercely, "Then you'll taste my power!"

He threw a punch—Luo En caught it cleanly, then squeezed hard.

Pain twisted the weirdo's face.

Luo En delivered a direct punch to his chest, then finished with a final kick—the weirdo collapsed to the ground, barely alive.

Luo En sneered, "Shall I end you?"

The weirdo shook his head desperately, signaling he didn't want to die.

Luo En said again, "Keeping you alive serves no purpose—better to kill you." He made a fist, threatening the weirdo.

To his surprise, the threat triggered a revelation.

"Y-you, don't kill me, don't kill me! I'll tell you a secret—don't kill me!" The weirdo, desperate to save himself, revealed a secret to Luo En.

Luo En said, "Go ahead—tell me. I'll judge whether this secret's useful. If it is, I'll spare you. If not, same outcome."

The weirdo pleaded, "Believe me—it's definitely useful!"

"This world was created—it's not real at all!" the weirdo said.

Luo En rolled his eyes. "I've known that for ages. Do you think you need to tell me?"

He raised his hand again, preparing to strike.

Terrified, the weirdo blurted out, "There's more! I know another secret!"

"Can you just finish speaking? Do you want another beating?" Long Juan's temper could no longer hold.

The weirdo whimpered, "If you climb the mountain and find the beast inside, and kill it, this world will end."

Though it sounded plausible, Luo En didn't trust him. He countered, "Why should I believe you?"

"I swear! Why would I lie? I want to go back too!" The weirdo quickly emphasized his own need to return, seeking Luo En's trust.

"Fine. I'll believe you—for now."

Thus, the weirdo stayed with them. They now prepared to climb the mountain the next day to find the beast.

The weirdo also told them that since this world was created, it had a guardian deity—and that guardian was the beast. If the beast died, the world would vanish.

But the beast was extremely fierce—not something an ordinary person could defeat. Everything must be carefully planned.

As soon as dawn broke, Luo En headed in the direction the weirdo had indicated. The scenery here was stunning, no matter how you looked—butterflies often fluttered about.

It looked nothing like the home of a beast.

To search faster, Long Juan and the weirdo went together; Luo En and Chui Xue went together.

Luo En led Chui Xue up halfway up the mountain—by then, Chui Xue was too exhausted to stand straight.

Chui Xue complained, "What beast? This place is so beautiful—how could there be a beast? I bet that weirdo's lying to us. Do you think my sister's in danger?"

The moment she thought of the weirdo with Long Juan, she couldn't help worrying.

"Don't worry—he's not lying. Long Juan's fine. You've seen how strong she is yourself. A little weirdo like that can't hurt her," Luo En said, trying to reassure her so she'd keep searching.

Meanwhile, Long Juan, guided by the weirdo, had already reached the summit.

They'd entered from different paths—one was still halfway up, the other already at the top.

"Let's search around here—I think it's nearby!" the weirdo said.

Long Juan eyed his shifty, sneaky look and warned, "Don't you dare play tricks."

The weirdo immediately bowed and nodded, not daring to slack off.

Soon, they found an entrance. It looked identical to the one outside.

If the outside was full of life, the inside was an eerie, oppressive silence.

Long Juan said, "Let's go in and take a look."

With that, the two entered together.

The tunnel was long. After walking for a while, Long Juan saw no light at all.

But determined to investigate, she pressed forward. The deeper she went, the darker it became.

Inside, there was not a single sound.

Long Juan opened her palm—a flame flickered to life, illuminating the space.

The four walls here were all rock, appearing black and bottomless like a bottomless pit.

The strange man followed cautiously behind Longjuan.

Suddenly, a sharp crack— the stone slab beneath them dropped away. Before Longjuan could react, both of them tumbled straight into the bottomless pit.

Luo En was still walking with Chuixue, and because Chuixue was weak, their pace was slow.

As they walked, Chuixue suddenly pointed ahead and asked: "What kind of hole is that?"

Luo En followed the direction she pointed.

It was indeed a hole, and it didn't look like a simple one.

Luo En grabbed Chuixue's hand and said: "Come on, let's go take a look!" Without another word, the two hurried toward the hole.

They cautiously ventured inside. The interior was pitch black, nothing visible.

Like Longjuan, Chuixue opened her palm and summoned a small flame, which immediately illuminated the dark hole.

Perhaps because the hole was so dark, the flame now appeared unusually bright.

Luo En carefully examined the walls using Chuixue's small flame, but found nothing unusual.

Moreover, the passage was extremely long; they walked for a long time without reaching the end.

Chuixue stomped her foot hard. Suddenly, a sound echoed— like something cracking open.

Just as Luo En thought, Isn't this the sound of ground splitting? — a loud bang, and both of them fell together.

After some unknown length of time, when they awoke, they were on a flat surface, which looked more beautiful than the previous scenery.

Chuixue, being a girl, loved this place; she hurried over and stepped on several flowers.

The flowers here were brilliantly colorful, varied in type, and all extremely beautiful.

Chuixue thought for a long while, then decided to weave a flower wreath.

Luo En, meanwhile, was seriously observing.

Chuixue picked one flower from each bloom, and after a while, a particularly beautiful wreath was complete.

Chuixue looked at Luo En, who was staring ahead, and shouted: "Luo En, come here, quickly!"

Seeing how urgently she called, he thought something major had been discovered, and immediately dropped what he was doing to run over.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Luo En panted.

Uh…

It was awkward. Chuixue silently lifted her flower wreath and said: "Could you help me put it on? I don't have a mirror, I can't see."

Upon hearing this, Luo En's expression of inquiry instantly turned to speechless exasperation.

He had no desire at all to help her put it on. But Chuixue still gazed at him with innocent eyes.

"Fine, fine, fine! Madam, can't we focus on the real task? We need to figure out how to get back!" Luo En said, irritated.

After speaking, he walked away, not even glancing at Chuixue. Chuixue now knew he was truly angry.
