Revelation of the Way of Heaven

A rapid stream of air rushed past his ears, and endless darkness enveloped him.

come down!

"Am I going to die?" This was the only thought in his mind. An immense sense of fear gripped his heart like a giant hand, making it hard for him to breathe.

Suddenly, a strong tightening sensation came from his abdomen, and his downward momentum immediately stopped.

Everything around him seemed to stand still. He stared blankly at the lake under the night sky, panting heavily, sweat pouring from his body and dripping down.

The base in the canyon was completely destroyed in the explosion. The mountain walls above it collapsed and rolled into the lake due to the impact of the blast wave. A huge fire broke out in the base, and the huge flames reflected on the lake, turning the lake blood red. On the mountains on both sides of the lake, countless people were running and screaming, like a scene from the apocalypse.

Water fell on him. He looked up and saw a long vine hanging down from the rhinoceros beetle and tied to him. Han Kexin and Guo Shiyi were pulling him up by the vine.

Raindrops fell rapidly from the sky like arrows, hitting his face with the chill of autumn.

For some reason, even though he was hanging in mid-air and in the cold rain, he felt very relaxed, so relaxed that he wanted to take a nap.

***********

They returned to Han Kexin's villa at two o'clock in the morning. Mo Yu had already gotten off the bus and gone back to his own place when they arrived back in XY City. Because it was too late, Guo Shiyi did not go home, so she went back to Han Kexin's villa with them.

After a night of running around, everyone was exhausted. They were also soaked when they flew from the base to the mountain cabin that Moyu had rented. So after returning, they took a hot shower and went to sleep immediately.

Han Kexin's villa has three floors and five bedrooms. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and three on the second floor. Qin Xiaochuan slept on the first floor both times he stayed here. The other bedroom was Zhou Bin's bedroom, while Han Kexin and Guo Shiyi slept on the second floor.

Although he felt tired and sleepy when he first came back, he couldn't fall asleep at all when he actually lay in bed. He lay quietly on the soft bed, staring at the ceiling, but his mind kept replaying the events at the canyon base.

He thought about the mutated vampires and hounds, the magic circle in the laboratory, and the two superhumans he had killed. He felt that he had unknowingly stepped into a new world, a world with no future in sight.

This operation was, after all, his first real-world combat experience. Although some of his skills were not executed perfectly, the results were still satisfactory. Through this experience, he realized his shortcomings, the most critical of which was the lack of control skills, which made it impossible to guarantee the hit rate of single-target attack skills.

He thought about it for a long, long time, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. It was a painful thing. He was so tired that he didn't want to move, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

Just as he was worrying about how to fall asleep, a 'click' sound came from the door—the sound of the lock turning.

"Someone is coming to see me this late?" he wondered. To avoid letting the visitor know that he was not asleep, he quickly closed his eyes and lay still on the bed.

Who could it be? He wondered. Could it be Zhou Bin? Probably not. Although he had met the other party many times, they had only spoken a handful of words. There was no reason for the other party to come looking for him in the middle of the night while he was asleep.

Could it be Han Kexin or Guo Shiyi?

Guo Shiyi must have been exhausted and asleep by now after all that commotion last night. Besides, she's in someone else's house, so she probably wouldn't be running around in the middle of the night.

Then it can only be Han Kexin. After all, she is a member of the Blood Witch Clan, and she sleeps during the day. Moreover, this is her home, so it's normal for her to move around.

"But why did she run into my room while I was asleep?" Qin Xiaochuan continued to guess. Thinking about this, he felt a little uneasy. He wondered what this cold woman's purpose was. Surely she wasn't there to take advantage of him? As soon as this thought came to mind, he immediately blushed. He really didn't expect to have such a thought.

He felt his heart pounding. The room was already very quiet, and Qin Xiaochuan guessed that the other person could hear his heartbeat. Thinking about this made him even more embarrassed, and his heart beat even faster.

The person slowly walked to his bedside, their footsteps very light, as if afraid of waking him. He peeked through a crack in his eyes and glanced at the bedside, but unfortunately the room was dark and he couldn't see anything.

The other person stopped at the bedside, and the room became unusually quiet. Qin Xiaochuan could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat. It seemed that the other person's purpose was simply to stand motionless by the bed and quietly watch him sleep.

What's going on? After a long time, his initial tension gradually turned into confusion.

"Could this be a sign that she's fallen for me?" he suddenly thought narcissistically, and his heart started racing again at the thought. "I never thought I was this charming before. Han Kexin seems cold on the surface, but she actually has a crush on me. Isn't that incredible?" He couldn't quite control his thoughts.

Perhaps it was a male instinct called conquest at play, but on this quiet night, Qin Xiaochuan found it hard to control his heart.

This thought didn't last long before he felt guilty and even wanted to slap himself because he felt that thinking like this was really unfair to Xia Ruoyi.

He deliberately imagined Xia Ruoyi's appearance in his mind, and he calmed down a lot. After calming down, he realized that the matter was strange. Based on his understanding of Han Kexin, it was not so much that the other party had a crush on him as something unbelievable, but rather something that was simply impossible. It was also impossible for her to sneak into his room in the middle of the night.

So, the person standing by his bedside definitely wasn't Han Kexin, so who was it?

Just as he was about to open his eyes to see what was going on, the person beside the bed suddenly moved. His eyes were still slightly open, and through the slit he saw a dark shadow reaching towards his head. He knew that the dark shadow should be the hand of the person next to him, but what was it going to do?

He struggled to resist the urge to jump up and grab the other person (because he believed there was no one in the house who wanted to harm him), and remained lying motionless on the bed, watching to see what the other person was up to.

The hand gently landed on his head, doing nothing, just gently stroking his forehead and hair.

It was a very, very intimate gesture. He could even feel a tender emotion in it, and the touch was clearly that of a soft yet somewhat cold hand. Could it really be Han Kexin?

He felt his heart pounding again, and he felt that everything had come too suddenly, and he didn't know how to accept it.

What should I do? He kept asking himself this question, but his mind was a complete mess, and he couldn't organize any thoughts.

But he knew he had to do something to stop things from going on, otherwise it would definitely cause him and her a lot of trouble later.

Although he hadn't known Han Kexin for very long, and she had always been cold towards him, he still had a good impression of her and sometimes even relied on her. He really didn't want their friendship to end like this.

He just didn't know that if he got up and refused the other person, the other person would directly cut him with a wind blade. Even if they didn't, how would the two of them meet again in the future?

He felt conflicted and wanted to find a way to satisfy both sides, but his mind was in complete chaos.
