It's not too much to say that a beauty is a little bit stronger

Xiao Huai's gaze shifted towards Lu Yuanshi's outstretched hand.

The moment they shook hands, the noise of the world gradually faded away.

This moment belongs only to them.

The unspoken yet extremely deep bond is like a burning flame in this icy field, tightly linking the fate of the two people.

Xiao Huai stared at Lu Yuan quietly, his eyes revealing a complex emotion. He frowned slightly and spoke in a low voice:

"But we might both die here. Didn't you say before that if such a day really happened, would you be afraid?"

Lu Yuanshi smiled when he heard this and shook his head gently, "I don't know why, but when I'm with you, I don't seem to be afraid of anything."

Xiao Huai was stunned, and his eyelashes trembled slightly when he looked at Lu Yuan.

His eyes softened, but with a hint of playful smile: "Are these sweet words of yours a natural gift?"

When Lu Yuanshi heard this, he was slightly stunned. He obviously didn't expect that the words he said unintentionally were regarded as love words by Xiao Huai.

Thinking back on this sentence again, it does sound very wrong, and it's normal for it to be regarded as a love talk.

His eyes were a little uncertain, with a rare hint of shame in them, as if he was weighing how to answer this sudden question.

But in the end, as if mustering up the courage, he whispered, "Love words... are words spoken out of affection. I..."

I kind of, kind of... like you.

But the last sentence got stuck in my throat because my heart was beating so fast.

Xiao Huai was stunned for a moment, and looking at Lu Yuan's somewhat immature appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle.

It's really rare to see Lu Yuanshi like this. He is always so calm, but now he has such a slightly clumsy expression.

Xiao Huai lowered his head, his eyes falling on the hand he was holding, and suddenly an indescribable throbbing arose in his heart.

It would be a pity if I died here.

This was not the ending he wanted.

Xiao Huai raised his head and turned his gaze to the statue in front of him again, and calmness and thought returned to his expression.

He stared at the four statues, feeling something was amiss.

Logically speaking, after placing the fourth crystal, the game should be purified and everything should be over, but now the strange atmosphere and the reaction of the statue made him suspicious.

The figure of Su Haoqian suddenly flashed through his mind, and the memory of the chaos fragments also emerged at this moment.

He began to wonder, could that piece of chaos fragment really be destroyed so easily?

If that fragment was really given by Loki, how could Loki let Su Haoqian ruin his plan so easily?

Xiao Huai frowned, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger.

Perhaps, Su Haoqian's death was simply part of Loki's careful plan, an indispensable step in a deeper conspiracy.

Even Su Haoqian himself had not fully guessed this plan.

And Loki never intended to let him truly be free, nor would he let him die so easily.

At this moment, the rose red diamond suddenly emitted a flickering light.

The light was like the morning light rising from the abyss, piercing through the darkness and filled with strong vitality and power.

A light flashed in Xiao Huai's eyes, and he looked down at Rose Red Diamond.

This was a gift given to him by Lu Yuanshi, a prop filled with chaotic divine power.

The light was so real, as if telling him - if one wanted to purify everything in this world, then why not?

Xiao Huai let go of his hand, and then he slowly turned around and looked at the statue holding the fake purification crystal.

The statue's twisted laughter was still frightening, but Xiao Huai's eyes were full of determination.

In this case, I will fight to the death even with the strength of a mortal.

Even if it hurts my head and bleeds.

"Thank you."

Xiao Huai's voice gently reached Lu Yuanshi's ears, filled with all his emotions.

Thank you for your company.

Thank you for saving me again.

Xiao Huai's peripheral vision fell on Lu Yuanshi, and he raised the corner of his mouth with a somewhat unruly smile: "Then you have to keep up with my pace, don't die easily."

This sentence sounds understated, but it contains deep care and trust.

Lu Yuanshi smiled, with indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

Xiao Huai has never been abandoned.

Lu Yuanshi has always been there.

Never leave.

Without any extra words, the two of them took steps at the same time as if they had telepathy and rushed towards the statue.

The wind and snow were biting, but at this moment, they had only one goal.

The fourth statue.

Flames swirled in the air, and as they approached, as if sensing a threat, a burst of scorching flames suddenly erupted.

The flames were like red gauze blown by a strong wind, rushing towards Xiao Huai madly, at a speed several times faster than they had imagined.

Although Xiao Huai was fast, he had to dodge the oncoming flames sideways again and again. Even so, a few flames still brushed against his arms, leaving scorching burns on his skin in an instant.

The burning pain from the flames spread throughout his body. Xiao Huai frowned, his breathing became slightly rapid, but he showed no intention of retreating.

He gritted his teeth and continued to rush towards the statue without slowing down.

Every dodge made his movements more difficult, but he knew that he could not stop and had to snatch the crystal from the statue's hand.

Lu Yuanshi followed behind Xiao Huai, his eyes focused and sharp.

He noticed that Xiao Huai was gradually getting injured, and immediately took a quick leap and approached the statue from the side, trying to distract the statue's attention.

The flames suddenly swirled and rushed towards Lu Yuanshi.

Lu Yuanshi did not retreat. He took a step back at an extremely fast speed facing the flames, avoiding the core of the flames. However, the corner of his clothes was still caught by the flames, igniting a small flame.

He raised his hand and quickly extinguished the flames, then approached the statue again without hesitation.

Xiao Huai seized the opportunity, accelerated suddenly, and rushed towards the front of the statue at lightning speed.

The statue seemed to have sensed Xiao Huai's intention and raised the flame in its hand again. However, Lu Yuanshi's sudden attack from the side delayed its movement for a moment.

In this brief moment, Xiao Huai quickly jumped up and reached out to grab the crystal in the statue's hand without hesitation.

The moment his fingers touched the crystal, a burning force came from his palm and the burning pain spread throughout his body, but he gritted his teeth and tried his best to pull the crystal out of the statue's hand.

Xiao Huai was breathing heavily, holding the crystal tightly in his hand, a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead, but his eyes remained firm and unyielding.

Lu Yuanshi rushed forward and supported him, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Huai glanced at the crystal in his hand, then turned to look at Lu Yuan with a smile on his face: "Alive."

But at this moment, Xiao Huai saw the words hidden in the palm of the fourth statue.

At that moment, his brows frowned inadvertently.
