Keyboard Warrior's Otherworldly Adventure

Sophie, once a noble and elegant princess, now resembled a stray dog, ragged and disheveled. Li Jin was momentarily unable to recognize her. "Sophie? Is it really you?"

Sophie rushed to Li Jin's side and hugged him tightly, her tears instantly soaking his clothes. "Li Jin, I thought I would never see you again! I thought you..." she choked, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Li Jin gently patted Sophie's back, comforting her, "It's alright, I'm fine, aren't I? Don't cry, what happened? How did you end up like this?"

Sophie looked up at Li Jin, her eyes brimming with tears, and recounted the events in broken sentences. It turned out that the shockwave from Linna's self-destruction not only sent Li Jin flying but also affected the entire royal city. The city was instantly reduced to ruins, with countless people dead and injured. Sophie only managed to escape thanks to the desperate protection of the guards. But she lost everything—her family, her friends, and even a place to live.

"Those men in black... they're still chasing me..." Sophie's voice trembled, her eyes filled with fear.

Li Jin's heart sank. It seemed Lin Na's power was even greater than he had imagined. He helped Sophie sit down and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. They can't hurt you."

"Chirp chirp..." Little White's voice rang out again, weak and tinged with anxiety.

"How is Xiaobai?" Sophie asked with concern.

Li Jin sighed and said, "It's badly injured and needs treatment as soon as possible."

"I know a place where there are medicinal herbs that can heal wounds," Sophie said. "I'll take you there."

The two supported each other as they left the cave. Although weak, Sophie, relying on her familiarity with the terrain, led Li Jin to a secluded valley. The valley was filled with various strange plants, and the air was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance.

Sophie found a herb that emitted a soft white light, carefully picked it, and handed it to Li Jin. "This is Moonlight Grass; it can heal internal injuries."

Li Jin took the moonlight grass and fed it to Xiao Bai. After eating the moonlight grass, Xiao Bai's spirits improved significantly, and it let out a cheerful cry.

"It seems we need to find a safe place to rest first," Li Jin said. "Your current condition isn't suitable for traveling."

Sophie nodded, and the two found a dry cave in the valley and settled down for the time being. Li Jin used a tinderbox to light some dry grass and dispel the dampness in the cave.

"Li Jin, your eyes..." Sophie suddenly noticed that Li Jin's eyes had turned blood red, and she was shocked.

Li Jin touched his eyes, only then remembering that he had merged with Xiao Bai's soul, and his appearance had changed as well. He briefly explained Xiao Bai's abilities and his current situation.

Sophie's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. "So, you now possess the power of the White-Robed Saint?"

Li Jin smiled and said, "I guess so, but I've only learned the basics. It's enough to deal with someone like Lin Na, but if I encounter a truly strong opponent, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

Sophie asked worriedly, "What should we do next? Linna is dead, but her men are still here...?"

Li Jin interrupted her, saying, "Don't worry, I'll protect you. Once Xiaobai recovers, we'll go find Lao Wang. He'll definitely know how to deal with Lin Na's remaining forces."

Sophie nodded, nestled close to Li Jin, feeling a little more at ease. The firelight illuminated their faces, creating a particularly warm atmosphere.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside the cave. Li Jin immediately became alert, drew his lightsaber, and whispered, "Someone's coming!"

Sophie gripped her dagger tightly, equally tense. Both held their breath, staring at the cave entrance. A tall figure appeared at the entrance; by the firelight, a狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) smile was clearly visible on his face.

"Hey, isn't this our Li the Keyboard Warrior? I didn't expect you to still be alive!" The newcomer was Jack, followed by several men in black, all of them looking fierce and menacing.

"Jack, what are you doing here?" Li Jin was shocked. He hadn't expected that Jack would collude with the men in black.

Jack sneered and said, "Of course I'm here to take your dog's life! You made me lose so much money, it's time to settle that score today!"

Li Jin glanced at the men in black behind Jack and a sense of foreboding washed over him. It seemed a fierce battle was inevitable…
