CH 526

All of a sudden, it was like Lin Xiao fell into an abyss.

He was originally hugging a beauty with a sword in his chest, but in a blink of an eye, everything vanished. It was like he was tossed into a crack in space and he felt he was high in the air then fell down into a dark hole, more intense than any roller coaster!

And just like that, he spun around in the empty space and eventually fell onto the ground.

“Hm… it didn’t hurt?”

It clearly felt like he fell from high up but he didn’t feel any pain.

“Strange… where is this?”

When Lin Xiao opened his eyes, he was stunned by what he saw… it was a vast ocean that reflected the gray sky above. He blinked and didn’t know what was happening, when he looked down at his body, he noticed that his wound was gone. He was sure it was himself, but it felt strange.

“This isn’t the real world, is it?”

Lin Xiao touched his face and couldn’t feel any warmth, he didn’t feel any pain when he pinched it either. He quickly understood that this wasn’t reality but an illusion.

So, where is this?

“The ocean?”

When Lin Xiao looked down he saw what was by his feet.

It was transparent water without any impurities, deep, pitch-black, and vast enough to give someone thalassophobia. Just standing there was enough to make someone tremble and feel like they were about to be swallowed.

If he fell in, he probably wouldn’t be able to get back out, right?

“Hm… but why am I able to stand here?”

Lin Xiao raised one foot and found he was ‘standing’ on top of this vast ocean.

“Could this be an ocean of consciousness?”

“Lin Xiao, die!”

“Who is it!?”

Lin Xiao heard someone shout but looked back and didn’t see anyone, it was just that vast ocean.

“Was it the wind?”

“Lin Xiao, no, I don’t actually want to kill you… can you hear me?”

“Sister Ying?”

It was the wind, but not just the wind. When the wind swept over the ocean, he could hear quiet murmurs, and it was no doubt ShenDai Ying!

“Sorry, I’m getting married, I’ll become Caesar’s wife…”

“No, I don’t want that! Why can’t I choose my own future? Why can’t I choose my own husband?”

The wind abruptly picked up and carried anger.

“Lin Xiao… you’re nice, but sorry, I can’t accept you…”

“But why… why does it hurt when I see them flirt? Why am I jealous of that maid?”

“Hehe, is that so… I see, it seems like I like you too.”

A warm wind, a biting cold wind… the different winds swept by Lin Xiao and carried different emotions into his heart. At that moment, he felt like he was surrounded by illusions of ShenDai Ying. Her crying, her smiling, her being happy, her being sad, the entire world was filled with her shadows.

“This must be sister Ying’s consciousness! But why am I here?”

Perhaps because they were too excited and shared a kiss at such a time, or maybe Lin Xiao’s willpower was too strong and he was filled with magic power and could forcibly enter her consciousness. But no matter the reason, it wasn’t a bad thing to come here. A passionate kiss wasn’t enough to remove her internal demons, this was a perfect opportunity to do so!

“So, what should I do… what? What’s going on!?”

As Lin Xiao was thinking, something changed! The water beneath his feet surged and became a huge wave! The water lifted high into the sky and then fell down, creating a humongous vortex beneath him!

“My god! Sister Ying, calm down! Don’t suck me in!”

How large was the whirlpool? A thousand, or ten thousand meters in diameter? Lin Xiao didn’t know, because the space was already on the verge of breaking thanks to the whirlpool! It felt like even time was being sucked in.

The strange thing was, no matter how terrifying it was, Lin Xiao still stood there safe and sound. That was perhaps the benefit of having strong willpower, even he himself didn’t notice, but when the whirlpool formed, there was a light that coated the outside of his body that protected him.

“Phew, that was scary… is this her consciousness eliminating the intruder? Wait… that’s!?”

Lin Xiao breathed out when he thought everything was over, but he suddenly saw someone familiar. A person with long hair wearing black stockings and high heels flew over top of the whirlpool and slowly arrived before Lin Xiao and coldly questioned him.

“Intruder, who are you!?”

“Eh? Sister Ying?”
