121: Chapter 121: The Rose Opera House (Twenty-Two)

The darkness faded, and suddenly a blinding light appeared before them, forcing them to squeeze their eyes shut.

Qian Ye instinctively closed her eyes, and only after a long while did she slowly open them again.

Looking at the surroundings, at this moment, where were there any ruins? It was the lobby.

"Huh, are we back?"

"Isn't this the first-floor lobby?" An Xuan looked at the surroundings and then up; even the clock in the center was the same.

Qian Ye stared at her surroundings, observing carefully. Seeing the murals on the walls, she slowly walked over.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, there was a rustling sound from the side.

In the next second, Qian Ye's red singer struck out directly, stabbing toward the source of the noise where a figure suddenly appeared.

When Qian Ye saw who it was, her eyes lit up, "Oh my, it's Baby～"

A "puchi" sound followed, the sound of a sharp weapon entering a body.

Huang looked down at his abdomen; the tip of the umbrella was now stained red, and across from him, the girl looking at him with delight was holding the umbrella handle.

...

Qian Ye seemed to sense his mournful gaze and blinked, "Sorry, I didn't know it was Baby～"

As she spoke, looking excited, she took a step forward, and with a movement of her hand, the entire tip of the umbrella sank into his abdomen.

The pain made Huang gasp.

Staring at Qian Ye, the words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Umbrella..."

"Oh, oops..."

Qian Ye quickly let go, "I, I was just too excited..."

The handle was heavier than the tip, and since only the tip had been embedded in his abdomen, when Qian Ye let go, there was a "clatter" as the entire umbrella fell to the ground.

Huang gasped again.

Brows furrowed, he suspected the person in front of him was doing it on purpose.

But looking up into Qian Ye's eyes, they were clear and filled with concern.

"Are, are you okay?"

Huang covered his wound and smiled, "I'm... fine..."

"Mm-hmm, that's good, that's good." After saying this, Qian Ye happily picked up the red singer, looking heartbroken.

"Oh my, you got hurt from the fall, good Baby, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore."

Huang watched her cooing over an umbrella, his expression becoming even more complex.

...

Why did he feel like she was only sincere toward this umbrella?

Carefully putting away the red singer, Qian Ye looked at Huang, her eyes curving into crescents, "Baby, it's really been a long time～"

"Where have you been all this time?"

"You have no idea how long I've been looking for you."

Qian Ye linked her arm with Huang's and continued complaining, "You have no idea, I encountered so many strange things on the way to find you."

"Fortunately, I held firm to my belief that I had to find you, hee hee, and then I came out～"

After speaking, she stared at him with sparkling eyes, looking for praise.

Mo Yu, who was behind them, heard everything she said from start to finish and stopped her steps as she was about to come forward.

If you looked closely, her brow was twitching.

An Xuan stared at this scene with wide eyes.

"I, I didn't see that wrong, right?" An Xuan rubbed his eyes and came to Mo Yu's side, listening to Qian Ye chattering on and on.

He hadn't expected the big shot to have such a side.

"Whew, we're back!"

"Whew..."

"Help..."

"It's finally over."

An Xuan turned back; it was Liu Ran's voice.

Hearing the sound, An Xuan turned around and saw Liu Ran collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.

Behind her were Hermione, the monk, and Hao Ming. An Xuan was a bit surprised; he hadn't expected them to still be together.

That was quite rare.

Immediately after, he cast a mournful glance at Mo Yu; if it weren't for her, he would be among that group right now.

It would definitely have been safer.

The next moment, he saw the monk, Hermione, and the others also collapsing onto the ground, gasping for air.

What happened to them?

An Xuan looked at them with a puzzled gaze.

He remembered that before he and Mo Yu jumped into the light circle, they were all still in that darkness.

"What's with you guys?"

"Why do you look so tired?"

Hearing him ask this, the monk waved his hand with a bitter expression, "Sigh～ don't even mention it."

"I, whew, we were just in a great escape..."

"It scared me to death; I almost, almost lost my life there."

"There?"

An Xuan was puzzled.

Hearing this, the monk glared at him, "What, did you not encounter any danger?"

"You all jumped into... inside, and then... whew... we all followed and jumped in too."

Surprise flashed in An Xuan's eyes, and then he listened as the monk took a deep breath and continued, "When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a green forest."

"It was unusually quiet around, and there were only my own footsteps in the vicinity."

"After a while, they appeared too. The four of us traveled together, walking deeper into the green forest."

"I... I didn't expect..."

The monk waved his hand, "We encountered a group of beasts, huge in size, each one must have been two or three meters tall, attacking us crazily."

"We attacked them, but to our surprise, they had thick skin and flesh; it didn't do any damage at all. We had no choice but to keep running."

"I... don't know how long we ran; we still couldn't see an exit..."

After the monk finished speaking, he was completely exhausted.

Looking at the surroundings, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"This, we're finally back."

He looked up to see An Xuan looking at them with a complex expression, his eyes moving, "You didn't encounter any?"

An Xuan shook his head, then nodded again.

"What does that mean?"

"You should explain yourself clearly."

The monk continued scratching his bald head, staring at An Xuan.

"We did encounter some."

"It's just that our situations were different."

"As soon as Mo Yu and I regained consciousness, our ankles were grabbed by eerie hand shadows, and we couldn't move."

"And Su Ye encountered a giant tornado."

An Xuan didn't go into as much detail as he did, but gave a rough explanation. In short, everyone had encountered danger.

After a long while, they had mostly recovered. As they stood up, An Xuan noticed their legs were still trembling.

His mouth twitched for a moment. Fine, it was safer to follow the big shot.

Look at them, every one of them, look at how exhausted they are.

Once they recovered, they noticed Qian Ye's figure behind An Xuan and Mo Yu.

At this moment, she had a look of longing, and they had some impression of the man beside her.

They seemed to remember her mentioning that this was her boyfriend?

Watching that man, he was clutching his abdomen, from which fresh blood was seeping out.

The monk couldn't hide his curiosity and slowly moved to An Xuan's side.

He patted his shoulder, "Hey, brother, what's the situation here?"

"How come he's injured too?"

If he remembered correctly, this man seemed to be an NPC.

How come none of them were seen injured, but he was?

An Xuan took a look, and seeing his sparkling eyes, his mouth twitched.

Could he say that Su Ye had gotten excited and stabbed her own boyfriend?

No!

An Xuan put his hand to his mouth and coughed twice, "Ahem, there was a little accident."

It was indeed an accident.
