No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

A shrill female voice came from the sky: "Find them all! Search carefully, don't let that devil get away."

Another woman flying beside her yawned lazily and impatiently exposed her, "What are you pretending for? Everyone knows that his divine power is now sealed, and he's just a plaything in that kid God Emperor's hands. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, he can't pull out that bone cone, let alone escape from Flower Island, which is covered with layers of barriers. Everyone who came out to search is just putting on an act. Only you are taking it seriously."

"As His Majesty's people, we should do our duty to share his burdens."

"That's why I said you were faking it. I bet only God Emperor himself doesn't know about your filthy thoughts about him, right? You went to great lengths to capture him and bring him back, firstly to curry favor, secondly to see him suffer humiliation, and thirdly... actually to secretly kill him, right?"

"Fu Qingyan, you should know that smart people don't live long."

"Fuling~ You need to know~ Even if you cultivate to become a spirit, you are no different from other Fulings. You don't even have your own name. This place... is not your place to lecture."

"You cherry blossom fairy, how dare you talk to me like that?"

“I’m different from you. Someone gave me a name the moment I took human form. Thanks to her, not only will my cultivation be smooth, but I will also live longer than you. Want to bet?”

"A childish gambler."

Having been humiliated in their conversation, Fu Ling clearly didn't want to continue talking to Fu Qingyan and flew off to other places to look for people.

Fu Qingyan remained floating in the air, looking down at the bushes below. She landed gently, muttering to herself as she walked: "I'll give you two choices: come back with me, and the God Emperor might treat you leniently. Or perhaps I've never seen you before."

no respond.

“I understand. There’s a loophole in the barrier to the northwest. I don’t know if it was intentionally left for you to fall into the trap or if it was an oversight. Anyway, you can take a gamble.”

Luo Shiyu peeked out from the bushes and said, "Thank you."

"I have never seen you, and you have never seen me. I owe your teacher the kindness of bestowing a name upon me, and today I have repaid that debt. Whether you live or die is up to your own fate."

Hearing the long-unheard address, Luo Shiyu's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly asked, "You know my teacher? Do you know where she went?"

"do not know."

"But you just said..."

Fu Qingyan didn't let Luo Shiyu finish speaking before turning into a cloud of floral mist and disappearing.

He Gui looked completely bewildered. He couldn't understand what this was or why he would have such a strange dream while fully conscious.

He tried to communicate with Luo Shiyu, but the other party couldn't hear him at all. He could only watch his every move, watch him run away, watch him hide, and watch those guys flying in the air like mosquitoes gossiping in the sky.

A profound sense of powerlessness was overwhelming He Gui. He wanted to hold Luo Shiyu tightly in his arms, but he couldn't touch her and could only feel anxious.

"Xiaoyu, if you're tired, take a rest and don't run anymore. That place is obviously a trap, don't go there."

Luo Shiyu's breathing grew heavier and heavier. He slipped and fell, but stubbornly got up and continued running.

"I...I want to...leave this place..."

"elder brother."

A dark, ghostly voice came from behind Luo Shiyu. His body froze instantly, fear taking over his emotions. In a panic, he hid behind a nearby artificial hill.

"Brother, do you want to play hide-and-seek with me? Just like when we were kids, you hide and I'm chasing."

The voice was neither far nor near; it felt very close, yet the person was nowhere to be seen.

Luo Shiyu covered his mouth tightly, not daring to breathe, tears already soaking his face. He Gui felt nothing but heartache as he looked at him.

He knelt down beside Luo Shiyu and gently coaxed her, "Xiaoyu, don't cry, don't be afraid, I will protect you, I will definitely protect you, don't cry, okay?"

The voice rang out again: "Same as always, count to ten and then start looking."

"1."

Luo Shiyu curled up in despair, burying her head in her arms, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

"2."

His body trembled even more violently.

"3."

The sound of footsteps rustling on the grass came from afar.

"4."

It was accompanied by the rattling sound of chains sliding on the ground.

"5. Half the time has passed."

"6."

The sound got closer and closer.

"7, 10, found you."

Luo Shiyu suddenly looked up and saw a man dressed in gold who looked divine.

He smiled, reached out his hand to Luo Shiyu, and said in a very gentle tone, "I've found you, brother, let's go home."

Luo Shiyu stared at him, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

"Is brother cold? Why don't those servants know to put a coat on him? They're useless. They should all be beheaded."

The innocent life was sentenced to death by Tian Heng's nonchalant words, and he took off his outer robe to put it on Luo Shiyu.

Luo Shiyu disdainfully shook off his hand, and the outer robe was knocked to the ground.

Tianheng glanced at the robe, then said with a smile, "Why didn't you just say you didn't like that dress, brother? It's such a pity, it's dirtied all the flowers and plants I've been taking such good care of."

After finishing his speech, he knelt down on one knee beside Luo Shiyu, pulled out a handkerchief out of thin air, lifted Luo Shiyu's feet, and wiped the soles of his feet.

“I know you don’t like wearing shoes, so there won’t be a single pebble on this floating island. Nothing here can hurt you, not even these flowers and plants. You’re safest with me, understand, brother?”

Where did this madman come from?

He Gui coldly sized up Tian Heng, suppressing the anger in his heart.

What surprised him most was that Tianheng actually bent down to kiss Luo Shiyu's toes. He Gui instantly lost control and swung his fist, but it only passed through Luo Shiyu's body without causing any harm.

"Damn it! Don't touch my Xiaoyu!"

The next second, Luo Shiyu kicked Tianheng in the face, knocking him to the ground. Taking advantage of his momentary daze, Luo Shiyu got up and ran away.

He Gui silently praised in his heart: "Well done, as expected of my Xiao Yu."

Just as she was feeling happy, she saw Tianheng reveal a very enjoyable expression, followed by a particularly eerie laugh: "Hehehe~ Is brother rewarding me?"

He licked his lips, floated up from the ground, and golden chains, like snakes, emerged from his sleeves, rushing straight towards Luo Shiyu.

"Xiao Yu, be careful!" He Gui instinctively tried to block her way, but it was no use.

Fortunately, the chains did not intend to harm Luo Shiyu; they only bound his ankles, restricting his movement.

"Brother, where are you going? Why do you always want to run away from me? It's clearly safest to stay by my side, why can't you ever understand?"

"Stay by the side of a madman like you? I'd rather die out there!"

Luo Shiyu's words successfully hit Tian Heng's sore spot, and his face turned ferocious, his tone becoming somewhat sinister.

"No! Brother can't die! I was born for you, everything I have is for you. You must be protected by me. I was born for you!"

Tianheng's hands slightly gathered, and the chains formed a cage, trapping Luo Shiyu inside.

He simply beckoned, and the cage gradually shrank, flying into his palm.

He Gui tried to intercept them from the middle, but even if he did, he couldn't stop them.

"Xiao Yu! Give me back my Xiao Yu!"

Tianheng held the cage in both hands, his eyes looking as if he were admiring a work of art.

“Brother, you are mine. I was born for you, and you should belong to me. The chains binding our blood can never be broken. No matter where you are in the world, you can never escape my grasp.”

Tianheng carried Luo Shiyu further and further away until they disappeared from Hegui's sight.
