Time and Space Management Bureau: Live broadcast with Dingliu in the end of the world

Although Su Jiancheng focused her energy on controlling and fusing the Yin Fire while navigating the maze, she didn't think too much about some of the details.

When Bai Mengyan asked him this question, he immediately recalled the only setback.

The first time he set up two clusters of Yin Fire, he didn't control the timing well, and considering the strength of the array in the outpatient building, his Yin Fire didn't last for a minute, causing one of the flames to go out prematurely.

At that time, he was suppressing his energy and merging it with the flames in preparation for the next release of Yin Fire, so he didn't even notice who was the last to pass through.

It seems that not only was Bai Mengyan the last to pass, but she was also burned by the Yin Fire.

Su Jiancheng looked serious and leaned forward, trying to get as close to Bai Mengyan as possible.

"Little princess, how are you feeling now?"

Bai Mengyan shook her head. "I don't feel the pain of being burned, but I feel cold all over, and the places where I touched the embers are chilled."

She raised her arm, looking puzzled. "These clothes don't look damaged at all, but the discomfort in my body keeps reminding me of it. I can even clearly see where the eerie fire burned me."

Bai Mengyan recalled the changes in her body during the journey, "At first it was very painful, but gradually it didn't hurt as much. I didn't notice anything wrong while I was traveling. Later I felt that it wasn't that the pain was gone, but that it was numb, like necrosis, but it was silent and there was no transition at all. It was very strange."

"Right now I feel like the corrupt dark power that Yan Lina and the others are using is constantly draining my energy and body temperature."

Bai Mengyan looked up at Su Jiancheng and said, "I think you can integrate the positive and negative things together, so you should have some understanding and knowledge of the characteristics of Yin Fire."

“I wasn’t continuously burned by the Yin Fire, nor was I seriously injured. I only grazed the outer flames of the Yin Fire. I think the problem should be under control, but the direction for solving the problem is not clear. Think about it and tell me if you have any conclusions or directions.”

Su Jiancheng looked apologetic. "I'm sorry, it was my fault. The energy field of the array at the outpatient building was very strong. I should have compressed more energy into it, otherwise it wouldn't have extinguished prematurely."

Bai Mengyan shook her head. "This is not something you can control. The reality is constantly changing. The fact that you came up with this crazy idea to combine energy and flame has already solved a major problem for the team."

"Without the Yin Fire, I can hardly imagine what would have happened if we had forced our way through the illusionary formation using Xiu's deductions. This is already the least we could have paid, and I don't mean to blame you."

Su Jiancheng lowered her head. "Aren't you going to tell the boss? He has a pretty good grasp of the Qi-enhancing pills now, so he might have some ideas."

Bai Mengyan chuckled, "I also possess the Yuanqi Pearl, and the result is the same. It's not like I'm immune to water and fire. Don't think of your boss as too divine."

Su Jiancheng opened her mouth, but had no words to refute it.

Bai Mengyan paused for a moment, then said, "I will talk to him. Actually, he saw the situation at the time. With his insight, it's impossible that he didn't notice my situation. I just want to see if there's a solution so that he can worry less."

Su Jiancheng nodded, "That's good. I was worried that your lack of communication would affect your relationship, but I was overthinking it."

Bai Mengyan thought that Su Jiancheng would at least side with Leng Yuexiu, and would listen to her point of view and share some of the team's responsibilities with the captain. Who knew that the topic would turn to their relationship.

Bai Mengyan rolled her eyes. "Childish."

Su Jiancheng chuckled mischievously, casually swaying her arms as she said in a low voice, "Let's go back. Someone's worried. Do you need me to help you?"

Bai Mengyan followed Su Jiancheng's gaze and saw Cheng Kaixi seemingly casually withdrawing her gaze.

Knowing that Su Jiancheng was watching the show, Bai Mengyan was too lazy to say anything more. She snorted coldly, walked past him, and went straight back to the group, sitting down next to Cheng Kaixi without any attempt to hide her presence.

Su Jiancheng stared at Bai Mengyan's back, pondered for a while, and then walked back to the group. Uncharacteristically, he hooked his arm around Black Eagle's neck and sat down with Yan Lina and the other two.

Bai Mengyan glanced at the three of them huddled together whispering something, knowing that Su Jiancheng was researching the Yin Fire, and then looked away.

As she was thinking about the energy conversion and impact involved, Cheng Kaixi grasped her hand, which was resting on her knee.

Bai Mengyan was stunned. She realized that the hand he was holding was the one whose arm had been burned by the Yin Fire. She subconsciously tried to break free and hide it, but Cheng Kaixi held it even tighter.

Only after meeting Cheng Kaixi's gaze did Bai Mengyan notice his gloomy expression and the hint of anger in it.

Cheng Kaixi lowered her voice and leaned close to Bai Mengyan's ear, "How long do you intend to keep this a secret?"

The warmth returned to her cold, numb fingertips, and Bai Mengyan didn't know how to respond for a moment, forgetting to break free.

"I……"

"You've been in danger time and time again, and you can't always turn the tide. Can't you take better care of yourself?"

Bai Mengyan let Cheng Kaixi hold her hand tightly, slowly transmitting light-based supernatural power to her body, and she silently lowered her head.

She recalled her first meeting with Cheng Kaixi; if it weren't for that accident, perhaps their bond would never have begun.

She actually smiled, her bright eyes looking at Cheng Kaixi, "Otherwise, how would we have met?"

Cheng Kaixi's heart skipped a beat. Holding Bai Mengyan's hand, he unconsciously caressed her with his fingertips, then instinctively opened his hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.

He avoided Bai Mengyan's gaze, looked down at the ground, and said with a bitter tone, "You are so frank, your emotions are always so intense and turbulent."

Bai Mengyan was soothed by the warm current of light, and the feeling of continuous loss finally stopped. She comfortably leaned on Cheng Kaixi's shoulder.

"A person should live a life of great achievements. If you don't live with effort, you will simply perish in silence. There's nothing wrong with that."

Cheng Kaixi stared at Bai Mengyan's hair whorl and finally revealed a slight smile.

"As long as you like it."

He swallowed the last sentence: 'Disregarding the lives of others.'

Bai Mengyan closed her eyes and felt the changes in her wounds. The grayness on her skin surface remained, but at least Cheng Kaixi's method was effective and could reduce some of the negative effects of the Yin Fire.

She shook her hand, which was tightly clasped with Cheng Kaixi's, and said, "It's actually quite useful."

Bai Mengyan nuzzled her head, finding a comfortable position, and wrapped her other arm around Cheng Kaixi's arm, her voice gradually softening, "Kaixi, I'm going to sleep for a little while, just a little while..."

Cheng Kaixi's heart ached as she listened to Bai Mengyan's even breathing, wondering how hard she had endured the journey.

He longed to pull his hand away, hold her in his arms, and let her get a good night's sleep.

But given their current relationship, he cannot and should not do that.

By holding hands tightly in a "healing" manner, one has already stepped onto the "boundary" and cannot go any further.

They can only be "friends," nothing more.
