Chapter 694: Extra (3): The Fate of All Living Beings Rests on My Shoulders!

Inside the quiet room, the two sat opposite each other in silence.

Shi Xue came back to her senses and noticed the change that had just occurred within her, realizing that she had been guided by her friend to speak her true inner thoughts.

Regardless of the relationship between the two, such an action was actually quite an offensive move.

But Shi Xue felt no indignation at this moment, nor did she think of severing ties with him; compared to that, she was now more curious as to why Ren Yidao would make such a move.

Given the exaggerated and immeasurable gap in strength between the two, Ren Yidao could easily have kept her from noticing anything at all; why did he have to deliberately reveal a flaw to make her understand?

Could there be some special reason behind this?

Was there some hidden story?

The two remained silent for a while like this, but neither had any intention of speaking first.

In the end, it was Shi Xue who broke first; she furrowed her brows slightly and looked at Ren Yidao in confusion.

"So, why did you suddenly ask me this question?"

But Ren Yidao only shook his head, smiling without a word as he looked into her eyes.

?

Shi Xue did not understand why Ren Yidao would suddenly ask her such a question; could it be that... Hiss!

Could it be?

Shi Xue suddenly thought of a possibility.

Had Ren Yidao fallen into confusion?

In the eyes of a vast number of people, Ren Yidao was that barrier standing between the Immortal Gods and the mortals, preventing all living beings from suffering the encroachment of the Immortal Gods.

But now... he was confused?

Could it be that he no longer wanted to continue standing on the side of the mortals?

!!!

Shi Xue's heart gave a sudden jolt, and she was startled by her own thoughts.

This, this, this...

If this matter were truly as she had imagined, then a major disaster would surely be at hand!

This was a major event truly capable of making this world tremble!

No!

Absolutely not!

Ren Yidao must absolutely not lean toward the Immortal Gods!

Shi Xue's heart stirred as she suddenly realized the heavy burden she was carrying at this moment.

He had just been asking, which meant there was still hesitation in his heart; he had not completely made up his mind and wanted to ask for a friend's advice.

That meant—everything was not yet too late, there was still a turning point!

Click!

Shi Xue stood up abruptly, firmly clenching her fists in her heart.

Right!

The safety of this world still rests on the shoulders of me, Snow Heroine!

That's right!

All the living beings of this world can only count on me!

Ren Yidao:?

What is going on? Why did she suddenly jump up?

He gave Shi Xue a strange look, not knowing why she had suddenly stood up as if she had lost her mind.

He just blinked and watched Shi Xue, while Snow Heroine seemed immersed in her own world and did not notice his gaze.

Shi Xue thought with high spirits, but soon, her expression suddenly became awkward.

"... So, and then?"

It was one thing for Snow Heroine to understand the noble mission she carried.

But now, she encountered another problem—having discovered the problem, how was she to solve it?

What should she do to make him change his mind?

Shi Xue: "..."

She remained silent for a while, then suddenly sat back down in silence.

Ren Yidao:?

What is going on? Why did she suddenly sit back down?

Are you planning to sit or stand...

Shi Xue was silent for a long time, and finally, acting on the spirit of self-sacrifice of "if I don't go to hell, who will," she tentatively spoke up: "Uh... well, have you changed your mind?"

Ren Yidao: What?

The reason Shi Xue asked so directly was simple.

No matter what, she had to at least figure out what he was thinking in his heart; only by understanding the cause of the illness could she prescribe the right medicine.

Ren Yidao was a bit bewildered by this question; after a moment of hesitation, he rubbed his chin and asked uncertainly: "Uh... change what mind?"

"Um, well, it's just..."

Shi Xue hesitated for a moment, fearing she might provoke him, and for a time did not know how to start.

At this moment, Ren Yidao seemed to suddenly understand something; he said "Oh" and asked knowingly: "... About you?"

"Um, yes! About me... um?" Shi Xue suddenly came to her senses and shook her head repeatedly: "No, no!"

She shook her head quickly in embarrassment; even though she was doing this for the sake of all living beings, she felt as if some of the little thoughts in her heart had been seen through.

However, at this moment, Ren Yidao did not pay attention to her rebuttal, and smilingly answered, following her previous question:

"It hasn't changed."

"I didn't mean... hm?" Shi Xue was stunned, staring blankly at Ren Yidao, and asked in disbelief: "What... did you say?"

"I said, regarding you, my thoughts have actually never changed," Ren Yidao said with a straight face. "Regarding you, my attitude has always been constant; if you are willing to be friends with me, then I shall be your closest intimate friend."

He said:

"If you do not sever it, then I shall not sever it."

Shi Xue:!

This was a very heavy promise.

Unless Shi Xue explicitly expressed that she was unwilling to be friends with him, he would never take the initiative to leave.

"Of course, if you truly do not wish to be friends with me anymore..."

Shi Xue frowned, squinting her eyes as she looked at Ren Yidao, waiting for the second half of his sentence, but he delayed speaking for a long time, and one could even see a trace of solemnity in his expression.

Finally, she could not help but ask: "... what will you do?"

"I will..." Ren Yidao could no longer maintain his serious expression and laughed easily, "Pfft, haha! Hahahaha!"

The originally serious atmosphere vanished on the spot, which made Shi Xue, realizing she had been played, feel her cheeks heat up, and she said angrily: "Tsk! What are you laughing at!?"

"Hahaha! I am, of course, laughing at the fact that you don't understand anything."

Ren Yidao naturally raised his hand, teasingly tapped Shi Xue's brow three times, and said leisurely: "If there really were such a day, I would of course use my own methods to make you change your mind!"

"Otherwise what? Watch you walk away?"

Ren Yidao looked at the stunned Shi Xue as if looking at an idiot and retorted: "Since when has Ren been the type of personality to accept things meekly? Is today your first day knowing me?"

He chuckled as he stood up and waved his hand casually toward the outside, and a giant hand condensed from clouds and mist descended from the sky, grabbing the three people at the foot of the mountain.

"Besides, I am the master of this world, so even if you really wanted to leave, where could you go?"

"You, you cannot escape from my palm."

Following his light waving motion, the giant cloud hand gave a gentle toss, and the figures of Zhao Sanzhuang, his Senior Brother, and Sanlu Sword instantly appeared outside the Sword Casting Hut.

The three of them:!!?

"Lord Fox Immortal!? Do you not want the hut, hut, hut anymore!?"

The Incarnation of Sanlu Sword was the most shocked; just as it wanted to explain and express its loyalty to Lord Fox Immortal, it heard words echoing in its heart: 【"Having traveled outside with me for so long, it is time to go home and take a look."】

Ren Yidao also found it somewhat amusing.

This little fellow has been running wild outside for so long and doesn't even know to miss home.

Sword Casting Hut... heh, truly miserable!
