Chapter 178: Preparing to Leave! An Unexpected Accident Occurs Again!

"This voice... it's Yan Yu!!"

Luo Xixi was currently staying with Sheng Tinglan. In this Book World, Sheng Tinglan had awakened a defense-type ability, and coupled with the power Yehruohua had given him, he could temporarily resist the suction of the Abyss. However, as the Abyss cracked open wider and wider, the suction also became increasingly strong. Nothing remained in the place where they were currently located; looking out, it was all dark chaos.

In order to resist the Abyss, Sheng Tinglan had expended a massive amount of physical strength and was now beginning to feel exhausted.

Hearing Luo Xixi's joyful shout, Sheng Tinglan slightly regained his focus. A mocking smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he said coldly, "That really took long enough. I wonder if he was waiting for you, Xixi, to die before coming to collect your corpse."

!!!

Hearing these unpleasant words from Sheng Tinglan, Luo Xixi was somewhat unhappy and said, "Sheng Tinglan, if you can't say anything nice, then just don't speak! If the two of us stay here, we'll definitely die without a doubt. Yan Yu has come to save us, so you should be grateful! Why are you still mocking people!"

"Save us..."

Hearing the word "us," Sheng Tinglan chuckled again and asked, "Xixi, do you think Yan Yu would save me?"

Luo Xixi felt somewhat baffled by Sheng Tinglan's words and retorted, "Are you saying he should just stand by and watch us die?"

Although Sheng Tinglan was a bastard who had forcibly brought her to this world full of monsters and plunged them into danger, Luo Xixi had only ever thought about giving this bastard a hard punch and making him get as far away as possible, but she had never thought about letting Sheng Tinglan just die like that.

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Luo Xixi's answer, Sheng Tinglan smiled even more brightly. He said, "Then after we all go back, are you willing to give me another chance to start over, Xixi?"

Luo Xixi: "..."

How could this person be so thick-skinned and shameless?

Where on earth did he get the face to hope that they could start over? Had he forgotten all the scumbag things he had done? That she hadn't killed him already was proof of her kind heart; how could he keep pushing his luck?

I'm speechless, guys!

"You better shut up! If Yan Yu hears these words of yours, he might just kick you directly into the Abyss instead of taking you with us when we leave. At that point, I won't speak up for you."

Luo Xixi warned.

After hearing this, the smile on Sheng Tinglan's face faded slightly. He looked at Luo Xixi with a serious gaze and said, enunciating each word, "I know Xixi will speak up for me. You are just soft-hearted, girl. Even if it's someone you hate, once they suffer, you'll breed unnecessary sympathy."

"!!!"

Although Luo Xixi admitted she had this bad habit, what did this person mean? Was he now acting fearless, indicating he had her all figured out?

This attitude was truly infuriating.

Luo Xixi forced a smile and said to Sheng Tinglan, "Heh! Sheng Tinglan, you sure have a way with words! Then do you want to test whether I will continue to breed useless sympathy for you? If you keep blathering on, when Yan Yu arrives, I will definitely kick you flying with one foot!"

"You won't kick me."

Sheng Tinglan said with certainty.

"You say that again? Just wait and see if I kick you or not!"

Luo Xixi frowned and said viciously.

She was truly going to be angered to death by this person. Could he not just see through things without saying them out loud? She indeed wouldn't kick him, but did he have to say it out loud and make her lose face? Luo Xixi really didn't want to talk to this guy anymore!

But Sheng Tinglan seemed to have turned into a chatterbox; he insisted on pestering Luo Xixi to talk to him, making Luo Xixi feel incredibly annoyed.

Just right.

At this very moment.

Yan Yu finally sensed Luo Xixi's aura and then rushed toward her at high speed.

"Xixi!!!"

"It's Yan Yu!"

Hearing Yan Yu's voice not far away, Luo Xixi was overjoyed and couldn't be bothered to bicker with Sheng Tinglan anymore. She shouted loudly toward the direction from which Yan Yu's voice came, "A-Yu! A-Yu!! I'm here! Here!! Can you hear my voice?"

"Xixi!!!"

Hearing Luo Xixi's response, Yan Yu immediately rushed over and then came to a sudden screeching halt, stopping in front of the Defense Shield protecting her and Sheng Tinglan.

Seeing that the little girl he had been longing for seemed to be unharmed, the heart Yan Yu had been holding in his throat finally settled back down. He let out a long breath and said to Luo Xixi, "That's great, you're alright."

Luo Xixi said to Yan Yu with pleasant surprise, "A-Yu, are you here to save us?"

"Nonsense! If I weren't here to save you, would I have run to such a dangerous place?" After Yan Yu finished speaking, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and then his gaze swept over Sheng Tinglan.

"Us?"

The man's thick, dark brows furrowed, and he said to Luo Xixi with some displeasure, "Xixi, you don't still want to save this bastard, do you?"

Luo Xixi said as if it were only natural, "Of course! Are you going to just stand by and watch him die here?"

"Hah!"

Yan Yu gave a violent, mocking laugh at Sheng Tinglan and said, "This guy deserves to die here! Xixi, have you forgotten what he did to you? What he did to the Luo Family? Why are you still thinking about saving him?"

Luo Xixi said, "He certainly hasn't acted like a human, but we can use other means to punish him; there's no need to watch him die here."

"Hmph!"

Yan Yu snorted coldly, appearing still unwilling.

He didn't want to save this guy at all!

But he couldn't resist Luo Xixi, who kept pleading for Sheng Tinglan. She tugged at the corner of Yan Yu's clothes, looking at him with wide, pleading eyes, and said, "A-Yu, just have some mercy. Saving one is saving, and saving two is also saving."

"..."

How could Yan Yu possibly refuse Luo Xixi's request?

Being pestered by her like this, even if Yan Yu's heart were made of iron, it would have melted into molten iron by now. He glared at Luo Xixi irritably and said, "You just rely on the fact that I dote on you, so you bully me without restraint, right!"

"Hehe..."

Hearing Yan Yu say this, Luo Xixi knew the man had compromised. The corners of her eyes curved, and she said with a smile, "So you're going to save both of us? I knew you were the best! This world is about to collapse; let's talk about anything else after we leave. Let's go first!"

"Hmph!"

Yan Yu snorted unhappily again. He glared at Sheng Tinglan and warned, "I'm only saving you for Xixi's sake. I hope you, kid, are sensible; once you're rescued, stay far away from Xixi and don't be an eyesore in front of her again!"

"Hah..."

Sheng Tinglan sneered upon hearing Yan Yu's words.

He had seen the interaction and banter between Luo Xixi and Yan Yu just now, so he was very clear that Xixi now truly relied on this man, and was therefore willing to show weakness, yield, and even use a coquettish tone to make the man compromise.

And all of this was proving that Xixi's heart was already leaning toward this man.

Clearly, Xixi belonged to him.

Clearly, everything Xixi was doing for Yan Yu right now should have been done for him, yet now this man had usurped his place!

Sheng Tinglan was unwilling to accept this.

His love for Xixi would not lose to anyone! Xixi was just disappointed in him, which was why she was unwilling to trust him anymore, but he would definitely find a way to make Xixi trust him once again!

"Alright, I need to prepare to activate the Permission to cross space; stay close to me, don't get thrown out when the time comes."

As he spoke.

Yan Yu glanced at Sheng Tinglan again and sneered, "Though if you were to be thrown out, I would be quite pleased."

"Heh, you're dreaming!"

Sheng Tinglan also retorted with a mocking smile.

Seeing that the two men were about to trade barbs again, Luo Xixi quickly stopped them, saying, "Alright, alright, stop the bickering, A-Yu, let's leave quickly!"

"Mm..."

Yan Yu agreed, and in the next second, the scenery before their eyes began to shift rapidly; another Space-Time Tunnel appeared in the sky, but just as they were about to approach the tunnel.

Suddenly.

A pitch-black, powerful tentacle suddenly lunged toward Luo Xixi; the thing was extremely fast, and before Luo Xixi could react, it wrapped around her ankle in one go!
