Chapter 117: The Fall of Light

"I bet Big Sister misses me the most!" Xiao Mi hugged Su Xi's neck and acted coquettishly.

Su Xi kissed her tender, supple little face, "You guessed right~ I'll reward you with something delicious. What do you want to eat?"

Xiao Mi smiled, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth, "I want to eat the food Big Sister makes, anything is fine."

"Then let's go buy groceries." Su Xi took a small pink bicycle with a basket from the System Space, placed it on the ground, and adjusted the seat height.

"What is this?" Xiao Mi stared at it with sparkling eyes.

"A children's bicycle, bought especially for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it! Can I try it?"

"Of course, it's for you to ride," Su Xi laughed.

No matter where she went, even crossing the universe, for Xiao Mi it was just a matter of a single thought. Any form of transportation was redundant, and she never needed a ride.

Therefore, this was Xiao Mi's first time riding a bicycle.

When she first got on, she wobbled and fell a few times because she wasn't used to it, but she quickly mastered the balance and rode freely.

Xiao Mi happily tapped the bell on the handlebars, emitting a crisp 'Ding-a-ling~ Ding-a-ling~' sound.

"Big Sister, I like this so much. Where are we going to buy groceries?"

"As long as you like it." Su Xi pointed to the department store ahead, "To that golden building."

"Let's go—" Xiao Mi happily pedaled the pink children's bicycle, moving forward at a speed of five kilometers per hour.

Su Xi took a camera out of the System Space, snapped dozens of photos of Xiao Mi, as well as a few videos of her riding, and after organizing them, sent them into the 【Dear Gathering】 group.

【Xiao Yuanyuan: @Su Xi She really went to find you, sorry to trouble you with looking after her. I'll come pick her up in a while.】

【Su Xi: No need to be polite, Brother. Xiao Mi is like a little ray of sunshine; with her around, doing missions feels like a vacation.】

Xiao Mi called out from the front: "Big Sister, I received a lot of gifts when I went back this time, I'll give them all to you."

"Our Xiao Mi is so generous, but for Big Sister, you coming to play with me is the best gift of all," Su Xi replied with a smile, and took another photo.

Xiao Mi cooperated by making a big heart shape, her eyes as bright and beautiful as if stars had fallen into them.

Su Xi sent this photo to the group as well... all the group members saved this photo as an emoji.

Xiao Mi was riding the little bicycle leisurely when she stopped upon passing a subway entrance blocked by caution tape, turned her head and said to Su Xi: "There is filth inside."

Su Xi looked at the subway entrance in surprise, Corpse Ghosts?

Er Miao said to Su Xi: 【They weren't there just now, they were teleported over.】

"They are coming out," Xiao Mi said to Su Xi.

Su Xi walked over and picked up Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi conveniently tucked the little pink bike into her Small Storage Bag where she kept her treasures; this was her new favorite.

Over a dozen figures flew rapidly toward the subway entrance.

One of the fastest figures, upon reaching the subway entrance, immediately tore down the caution tape, and at the same time, a Rubik's cube-like metal block appeared in their hand, which they tossed into the air.

The metal block grew larger and larger, finally completely shrouding the subway entrance.

After the other figures arrived, they also quickly entered the metal block.

"It's an alien space barrier," Su Xi said to Xiao Mi, "It looks like they can handle it themselves, let's continue to buy groceries."

"Okay!" Xiao Mi took out the little pink bike again.

Su Xi set her down, and they continued walking toward the department store.

And not long after they left, a thin crack suddenly appeared on the surface of the metal block!

"This, this, and this..."

After entering the supermarket, Xiao Mi started her little shopaholic mode, picking items in a dizzying blur and putting everything she was interested in into the shopping cart.

By the time she reached the seventh shopping cart, the sales clerk finally couldn't help but ask Su Xi: "Hello, Miss, do you want to keep the items in the previous six shopping carts?"

"Keep them. By the way..." Su Xi took out a gold bar she had obtained at Er Shi Si Hao Ji Di and showed it to the clerk, "Can I pay with this?"

"Absolutely!" The clerk became even more polite, "Please continue shopping, just call me if you need any help."

"Mm, you can check out the first six carts first, this cart of ours is about enough," Su Xi said to the clerk.

"I will go settle the bill for you now."

Xiao Mi came over holding a calico cat pillow, "Big Sister, I want this."

Su Xi nodded, "Let's fill this cart, and then go cook, okay?"

"Okay!" Xiao Mi immediately listened and stopped shopping.

Su Xi finally bought some barbecue seasoning and pushed the shopping cart to the checkout counter.

Because paying with gold bars was a bit inconvenient, Su Xi had the clerk help her apply for a Gold Point card, converted the gold bars into Gold Points, and spent over four thousand.

"Here, take this card, use it to deduct Gold Points whenever you want to buy something in the future," Su Xi gave the Gold Point card to Xiao Mi.

"Thank you, Big Sister." Xiao Mi put the Gold Point card into her Small Storage Bag.

Because there were spiritual energy users in this world, when Su Xi instantly cleared away the purchased items, although the staff were surprised, they didn't find it too strange, just became more respectful in their attitude.

Su Xi was holding Xiao Mi's hand, and just as they stepped out of the department store, the sky turned dark, and a swarm of Corpse Ghosts came running out from the direction of the subway entrance.

"Big Sister, they didn't manage to resolve the filth," Xiao Mi said to Su Xi while hugging the cat pillow.

Su Xi looked at Xiao Mi, then at the Corpse Ghosts, "Wait a moment, Big Sister, let me deal with this filth first."

"Mm!" Xiao Mi nodded.

Su Xi used Teleportation to reach the air, formed seals with both hands, surrounded by streaks of thunder and lightning, and shouted in a low voice: "Demon-Breaking Thunder!"

Several streaks of lightning, accompanied by a deafening 'Boom— Boom—' sound, entered the billowing dark clouds that covered the sky...

A scream rang out, followed by black ash scattering in the air, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky brightened again.

Those Corpse Ghosts that were about to rush in front of the department store suddenly slowed down in their movements.

Su Xi looked at those Corpse Ghosts, and the still gray sky...

"Er Miao, simulate a ray of Red Sun light and see."

"Understood, Host."

A massive ball of light gradually emerged in the air, and a dazzling, eye-catching white light suddenly reappeared in the heavens and earth!

The corpse ghosts turned into powder on the spot!

"These corpse ghosts fear Red Sun light." Su Xi used Teleportation to return to Xiao Mi's side, picked her up, and left the department store.

"When the world enters the Turbid Age, the first thing to fall is the Law of Light," Xiao Mi said to Su Xi.

"Then what if the Law of Light is restored?"

"Uncle Dean once said that after the Turbid Age comes desolation, and after desolation comes a new world; the fundamental laws will all be reborn. The world has its own rules; unless it undergoes a mutation, it does not need the intervention of gods."

"But Big Sister's mission in coming here is to restart, which is clearly contrary to the world's rules," Su Xi said to Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi tilted her little head and thought for a moment, "Then there is only one reason: this world has undergone a mutation."

Su Xi was lost in thought.
