Global Freeze: I built a doomsday safe house

As the dark moonlight gradually faded, the Night Witch raised her hand, and a wisp of dark light fell from her palm.

The gentle light, yet containing a strange power, slowly enveloped Shunliuxing's eyes.

"Child, your eyes should have seen the light of the world."

As the Night Witch's deep and resonant incantation faded, the seal on Shunliuxing's eyes quietly crumbled. Layers of restrictions vanished like peeling dust into the night.

In an instant, light flooded into her world.

Shunliuxing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears welled in her eyes. She clutched her chest and stared blankly ahead.

It was a long-lost sight: a valley, black mist, night, and Burning Bones standing beside her.

She saw it clearly.

"I...can see...!"

Shunliuxing's voice trembled, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Her pupils, which were always covered by a layer of white substance, regained their clarity.

She saw the light, a beautiful valley bathed in purple moonlight, with mysterious and unpredictable flowers and plants, and the mysterious and powerful Night Witch sitting on a swing.

Fen Gu suddenly reached out and hugged her tightly, his voice almost screaming with excitement:

"You saw it! You finally saw it!"

Grandmother, you really could save her! You really could!!

The Night Witch watched this scene, her eyes filled with no joy, only a deeper darkness.

She murmured to herself, "In the end, you still chose to fight... but fate never changes because of individual will."

Burning Bones Face—that face twisted and ugly by bloodline and destiny—is now laid bare in the light.

His skin was dark, and his features were distorted by his cursed bloodline, resembling a wreckage scorched by flames.

He instinctively shrank back, pulled his hood down sharply, and buried his face in the shadows.

Most of the people of the Dark Moon Empire look like these dark creatures.

Because of the Night Witch's corruption, their lineage was branded with a shameful label, making the Burning Bones even uglier than the other Moon People of the Darkmoon Empire.

Once their strength reaches a certain level, they will choose to conceal their faces, hiding the dark marks left by Samael when he created them.

"Don't look at me!" His voice was hoarse and panicked. "Meteor, don't... don't look!"

He pulled hard on his hood to cover his face.

He was a little scared. If the beautiful and pure Shunliuxing had seen his face back then, would she still be able to become his friend?

He lacked such confidence; he preferred to remain a shadow forever, guarding the fleeting meteor.

Shunliuxing froze for a moment, her eyes reddening.

The next moment, she reached out and gently but firmly lifted his tattered hood.

Burning Bones' face was completely exposed to the light. His pupils trembled, and his blood-red eyes were filled with panic and inferiority.

He tried to struggle, but Shunliuxing suddenly lunged forward and hugged him tightly.

"Bone burning..."

She called softly, her voice trembling with tenderness, "I've never cared about what you look like."

Beauty and ugliness are relative concepts. Perhaps even Shunliuxing had never seen a handsome man like Zhang Yi, so he could accept Fen Gu's peculiar appearance.

Burning Bone shuddered, his body stiffening like a stone.

His fingers trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes, sliding down his cheeks.

Shunliuxing raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears yet filled with a smile: "In my eyes, you have always been Fen Gu, my protector."

His throat tightened and his heart pounded violently.

Years of inferiority and pain, at this moment, burst forth like a flood, almost completely overwhelming him.

Within the black mist, the Night Witch watched silently, her gaze complex.

She could see that there was a bond between the two that transcended blood ties and curses.

But Fen Gu's thoughts were taken back to a long time ago—the moment they first met.

In the desolate valley where the two great empires meet, the wind howls.

Burning Bone sat alone among the rocks, holding a bone flute in his arms.

The bone flute was carved from the bones of an unknown animal and gleamed with a chilling white light.

He brought the flute to his lips and played a low, lonely melody.

The voice was filled with desolation and longing, like the howl of wolves in the wilderness, drifting between heaven and earth.

Just then, a girl's figure slowly appeared at the other end of the valley.

Instant meteor.

She stopped in her tracks, captivated by the sound of the flute.

Although her eyes were shrouded in the spell, she could hear and she could feel.

The melody contains loneliness, longing, and unspoken tenderness.

"What a beautiful voice."

The girl murmured softly as she followed the sound of the flute toward him.

Fen Gu looked up in astonishment, and his heart clenched when he saw who it was.

She is so beautiful.

Even with her eyes covered, she still seemed to radiate light.

Her presence brought a spring-like warmth to the desolate valley.

Fen Gu hurriedly pulled up the hood of his cloak, lowered his head, and dared not look directly at her.

His face, his blood, his ugliness—he didn't want anyone to see them.

"You play the flute so beautifully."

Shunliuxing sat down beside him and listened quietly, without the slightest hint of disgust or aloofness.

Burning Bones' fingers trembled, and the flute music paused for a moment.

But with her encouragement, he started playing again.

At that moment, he understood—his life had never been so warm.

He fell in love with her.

But he also knew that this love could only be buried deep in his heart.

Because he is ugly, because he is lowly, because he is unworthy.

Even today, when the meteor regained its light and saw its ugliest appearance, it thought it would be abandoned and despised.

However, she took off his hood and hugged him.

"Burning Bones, in my heart you have never been a monster."

Her voice fell softly, yet it was more powerful than any force.

Tears streamed down Fen Gu's face as he trembled and reached out to gently embrace her.

At that moment, it seemed as if a crack was torn open in the darkness in his heart, letting in a faint but real ray of light.

Just then, from outside the valley came a familiar sound of footsteps that made them uneasy.

Meteor and Burning Bones suddenly turned around.

At the entrance to the valley, the mist was torn apart, and several figures slowly walked in.

The young man at the head of the group was dressed in menacing black armor, his eyes sharp as knives.

His steps were steady, exuding an unparalleled aura.

The person who arrived was none other than Zhang Yi!

The Dark Sun Forest is only so big; they have no way to escape. Brian followed their scent, and finding them was only a matter of time.

Behind Zhang Yi, Yang Xinxin, Morgan, King Arthur, Saladin, and others appeared one by one.

Their arrival caused the stagnant air in the valley to tighten suddenly.

Fen Gu's expression instantly froze, and he tightly protected Shun Liuxing in front of him.

The Night Witch raised her eyes, her gaze falling on Zhang Yi, and an unprecedented turmoil appeared in her deep eyes.

This valley, which has been tranquil for so many years, is destined to be anything but peaceful tonight.
