This distant voice was hidden in the darkness. It was exceptionally quiet.

But there was no answer.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Who hears my call? "

No one could give an answer.

It's a little beast... Little newborn beast...

But no one came to save it.

Everything returned to the primal chaos of the universe. It was extremely lonely.

"Drip, drip, drip …" Like flowing water, it flowed through the gaps between his fingers.

Xiao Yi woke up in the heavy air.

Why was it so crowded and narrow? He looked around and realized that he was inside a small, suffocating cave.

He lowered his head to look, only to see Qing Xuan safely lying unconscious in his arms.

It seemed like when she fell into this "Asura Territory" from above, she fainted because she was not used to teleporting through space. This space was very chaotic, and it was unknown which monster's lair it had landed in.

It was difficult to turn over in this narrow, dark tunnel.

Qing Xuan was sleeping in his embrace. Perhaps because she was too tired and hadn't woken up yet.

Xiao Yi moved, wanting to hug her up. A sweet smell unique to young girls assaulted his nostrils, fresh and tinged with the scent of citrus.

He smiled and stroked her hair, moving her to his chest so that she wouldn't feel too uncomfortable.

Oh, it's so warm.

In Qing Xuan's dream, was a world of darkness and drifting snow. It was very cold, very cold, and very cold. Just when she was out of help, sunlight shone down and gave her a beautiful world.

Therefore, she greedily took a deep breath, and then forcefully embraced this warm sun.

She rubbed her face against Xiao Yi's broad chest in satisfaction. His two small hands encircled his waist, and his entire head was like a squirrel, burrowing into his bosom.

The space here was too small, Xiao Yi could only lean against the damp and cold cave walls, allowing her to speak nonsense in her dreams.

He bent his forefinger and tapped her forehead gently, so that her dreams no longer seemed so cold and dark.

"Qing Xuan, Qing Xuan... Are you all right? "

he asked softly, his chin against her black hair.

I don't know how long she'll sleep.

Just like that, he allowed her to cuddle in his embrace. Her two claws were like two ropes, firmly binding his waist. He couldn't move.

After a long while, she only woke up slowly when a drop of water hit Qing Xuan's face.

She narrowed her eyes and a faint bamboo wind fragrance wafted through her nose.

This smell belonged to Xiao Yi. She knew it as soon as she smelled it. This was because the crescent-moon-white dress in her room was just this sort of elegant scent that curled slightly like a bamboo breeze.

Every night, when she couldn't sleep, she would get up and stare at his clothes; then, when she cried, she would lean forward and laugh and cry while smelling the sweet bamboo fragrance.

She suddenly remembered what had happened in the past. Being held hostage by the Lord Hades, it was Xiao Yi who ignored the dangers and rushed into the barrier to save her.

Following that, Hades locked the two of them in his' Asura Territory '.

Then right now, there was only Xiao Yi and her?

She remained motionless in his arms, greedily breathing in his scent. So sweet, so warm, so happy.

She laughed secretly. This time, she wasn't dreaming.

"Qing Xuan, are you awake?"

Xiao Yi asked again.

This unknown narrow cave had a long passageway. He had to leave quickly. Otherwise, who knew if a giant monster would appear out of nowhere?

Xiao Yi's voice was pleasant to the ears, like the sound of spring water flowing through pebbles. The quality of her voice was so clear and clean, like the sound of a jade pendant.

Qing Xuan raised her head from his embrace and opened her hazy eyes, staring at him.

Her small face blushed, her eyelashes fluttered, and she said with an apologetic expression: "Sorry, Young Master Xiao, I … I'm gonna kill you... made you fall into the Asura Territory as well. "

She was shy and wanted to leave his arms, but found the tunnel too small and narrow.

As they embraced each other, there was no space for them to move.

Xiao Yi stared at the ball of light in front of him that was emitting a faint, fishy smell as he thought about something.

He released a few small pieces of paper and floated with the wind towards the depths of the cave. He must investigate exactly what kind of monsters were hiding in the cave ahead.

A faint smell of blood came from the cave not far away.

Xiao Yi's pupils contracted. Seems like this monster was rather powerful, as it was devouring the corpses of other monsters.

If he wasn't wrong, there was a group of monsters fighting against each other in this cave.

"Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Yi lowered his head and asked.

Qing Xuan blushed and nodded, "Mn, I slept for a while. I feel better. Thank you for saving me again. But I was too weak to help. "

"Don't say that. I would have been sorry if it hadn't been for you. You are the one who saved my life. "

Qing Xuan's eyes widened, and had no choice but to ask out the question that was on his mind, "Then do you like me?"

Xiao Yi's face tightened as he fell silent.

He pursed his lips and clenched his fists.

Silent...

Silence. Silence.

Still silence …

Qing Xuan kept staring at him to express his stance, but he couldn't find anything.

Only the sound of water droplets slowly falling could be heard.

Drip, drip!

Xiao Yi pursed her lips, looked into the depths of the cave and said: "Let's go."

He struggled to move first and climb forward. This passageway was truly too small, too small.

It was so small that it could only fit one person to climb.

He didn't answer? No!

Qing Xuan landed behind him, and couldn't move a single step. In the distance, she was behind him, and she was getting further and further away. A cold wind was pouring in from the cave entrance.

There were only tears, accompanying her, silently crying, secretly crying …

Her clear eyes deeply imprinted his appearance — elegant like a goddess, yet also ice-cold like the snow on a mountain.

Xiao Yi still did not answer.

Again and again he fell silent. Even if he refused.

However, he didn't utter a single word!

Drops after droplets of tears fell onto the side of her face. Tears, crystal clear, bright clear with the imprint of the bone, slowly, hopelessly glide...

She stayed where she was, as if she were made of wood and clay.

Xiao Yi's heart rose and fell. He was unable to give Qing Xuan any kind of promise.

He clung to the stone wall, borrowing the weak light to open up his palm — that ball of Baleful Yin poison, the moment it invaded his heart, it would be his death! What could he give to someone who was on the verge of death?

No, he couldn't give me anything. What kind of promise could he give her when he only had half a month to live?

If he couldn't take care of her for the rest of his life, then he would have to choose to leave her world.
