Beside him, several companions were fighting hard against the enemy. Yingmei's combo was smooth and beautiful, it was practically the dance of the demon lord Jing!
Xiao stopped moving, panting heavily, glanced at his partner, and then looked up at the space above.
So close! But Xiao no longer had the strength to continue activating the magic array.
Without hesitation, Xiao raised his hand and used his last bit of strength to summon pure wind elemental power, free from any karmic obstacles, to envelop his companion.
At this moment, Xiao was still thinking: Karma is bad for them.
Paimon reacted and shouted, "Xiao!"
Ye Lan also realized what was happening, frowned, and made a 'no!' expression, frantically reaching out to stop Xiao.
No! Not again!
Ye Lan's expression was also rarely seen; her panicked state and the stark contrast made the reader instantly feel Ye Lan's emotions.
The teleportation had already been activated. With his last bit of strength, Xiao used the purest wind elemental power to bring his companions out of the dungeon.
But what about him?
The light from the ground was right above him, but the magic array beneath Xiao's feet was shattered, and he was powerless to hold on.
As Xiao fell from the sky, he slowly closed his eyes, his tightly furrowed brows seemingly relaxing for the first time.
Perhaps he was thinking, 'Great, they're out.'
As mentioned before, Xiao does not have self-destructive tendencies, but his will to survive is not high.
Having successfully escorted his companions out of the underground palace, he could now peacefully face death.
He could rest easy, but the readers couldn't! His eyes stung, and he couldn't tell whether the tears were brought on by the scene or from staying up all night reading.
Well, even the most stubborn readers have to admit they're starting to panic.
Xiao may have mentally let go of it, but the more he does so, the less the readers can let go!
How could he just die like that? We want to see you again at the next Lantern Festival in Liyue!
The readers from Liyue were especially heartbroken. They couldn't accept that the Great Sage Equaling Demons had such an ending, and they wished they could reach into the book and pull Xiao away.
But Xiao is still falling, like a bird unable to fly.
The readers' hearts were also sinking; was a miracle unlikely to happen?
The light above was getting smaller and smaller; it was the exit, the hope of life, but Xiao was falling in the opposite direction.
The light dimmed completely, and the readers' hearts sank.
Just then, a light shone forth, a dazzling golden light that shone even brighter than the sun in the darkness.
A light enveloped Xiao, and as if sensing something, Xiao slowly opened his eyes.
The next moment, Xiao was brought back to the ground, kneeling on one knee, panting heavily as if he had just been pulled out of the deep sea.
The traveler quickly went to Xiao's side and patted his back to help him catch his breath.
Some readers were still in shock, and some didn't understand what had happened.
But no matter what, Xiao survived!
The readers' faces lit up with smiles, their tears still fresh.
Turning the page again, the camera pans to the distant mountain peaks, and the person in the picture is only showing a pair of calves and the hem of their clothes that looks like a dragon's tail.
The readers' smiles turned into ecstasy, and some of their friends who didn't read thought they had gone mad.
Even the notorious critic Pantalone couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Your Majesty—!!!" This was the cry of the people of Liyue at this moment.
The Liyue person said, "I'm already fine with just the hem of my dress."
Yan Xiao: That's great, people still eat almond tofu.
Readers exclaimed: Indeed, the Emperor is hope, the Emperor is a sense of security! Even if he only appears for a moment, he is the most dazzling person in the room!
Good job! As a reward, you can continue shopping! Bamboo shoots and sesame oil are available; just ask for what you want!
Xiao did a good job; it's true that you still need to inform your 'parents' before going out.
Now the readers understood: although the Emperor didn't say it outright, he was truly protective of his own.
...This journey may be risky, but since you insist on going...I'll just go along and see.
Are all rock formations this reliable and protective of their own?
Look at Yi Dou, who is in a coma. Although he is usually unreliable, he has never let us down in critical moments, and he is also very protective of his own.
In short, the readers thoroughly enjoyed the story. The atmosphere became increasingly oppressive after Yi Dou fell into a coma, and some readers even forgot to breathe as they read on.
All this gloom was illuminated by the Emperor's 'light,' and only then did he remember to breathe, but breathing had become 'manual transmission.'
In reality, everyone in Lin Qiu's family breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xiao was alright.
Even Hu Tao exhaled a barely perceptible breath, which no one else noticed, but Lin Qiu sensed it.
After all, Hu Tao was right next to him, so he could naturally feel her breath.
However, compared to Hu Tao, Fu Fu on the other side was much more impressive. Her crying was like a raging river that was unstoppable, turning into Fu Tao!
Fortunately, everyone was so engrossed in the story that no one noticed Fufu's loss of control over her facial expressions.
Lin Qiu laughed. This is exactly what I wanted to see. I brought you here specifically for this moment, hehehe.
Don't rush, don't rush, there's more to come.
He thought this as he wiped Fufu's tears.
This is why Funina didn't know what the 'gentle' Lin Qiu, who was wiping away her tears, was thinking; otherwise, she would have said:
'If we switched roles, I'd show you what cruelty truly means!'
In short, the incident came to a safe conclusion, but Ye Lan wanted to say a few words to Xiao.
However, he didn't say it out loud. In the end, he sighed and said thank you.
"In the end, we couldn't reach a consensus on our strategic approach. But we were truly fortunate to escape from that place thanks to you. Thank you for saving everyone."
Chapter 386 Escape
Readers still really like Ye Lan because the expression she shows when she's worried about Xiao is genuine and hard not to like.
Ye Lan has always been aloof and harbors secrets, giving her a strong sense of mystery. So when she subconsciously reveals that panicked and worried expression, it makes her seem even more real.
That's probably just how people are; they enjoy playing with the storyline in adult games, but look for erotic content in serious games.
【elf"......"】
Xiao's silence wasn't meant to be disrespectful to Ye Lan; he simply didn't know how to respond to someone's gratitude.
Gan Yu is the type who hides behind a tree after saving someone, and Xiao is no better; he hides on the treetop.
[Xiao: "No. That wasn't just my achievement."]
The traveler also thanked Yelan, following Xiao's words.
Ye Lan was also someone who couldn't sit still. After confirming that no one had any external injuries, she told everyone to rest, while she went to scout the surrounding area.
In Yelan's view, she hadn't done anything in this incident; it was actually Xiao who saved everyone.
She had intended to persuade Xiao to abandon the idea of 'sacrificing himself'.
But since Xiao did a good job this time and nothing happened to him, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
[Yanfei saw through everything: "But Xiao is indeed not easily persuaded. I think Yelan has probably given up trying to convince him."]
As expected of a top lawyer, he can even see through Ye Lan.
Paimon looked at Xiao: "Xiao, she's criticizing you."
Paimon means that Yanfei is saying you're stubborn, so stubborn that Yelan is too lazy to even talk to you anymore.
This is ridiculous! What is Paimon doing? Is he tattling on someone's face?
Yan Fei quickly waved her hand: "No, that's not it!"
[Xiao: "What you say is true, there's no problem."]
"I will consider your opinions."
Surprisingly, Xiao was actually convinced. Shadow, look at him.
The readers were quite happy that Xiao could think this way, which can be considered as resolving a knot in their hearts.
That's great. Once the knot in your heart is untied, you start to have the will to live, and then you're ready to die when you want to live.
Well, back to the story, after chatting for a while, everyone remembered that there was still one ghost who hadn't woken up.
When I went over to check, I saw that Yi Dou had just woken up, and was yawning and stretching.
It must be said that his recovery speed was also fast. Time stood still inside, which means that he started to recover his strength not long after he returned to the ground.
Everyone expressed their concern for Ichidou's physical condition.
[Kuki Shinobu: "Is there anything wrong with you?"]
Paimon: "Your brain? How's your brain? Is it damaged?"
"She's not smart to begin with, and if she damages her brain even more..."
Readers felt that Paimon's concerns were somewhat unnecessary; the prerequisite for damaging one's brain is having one's brain, which Ichidou clearly lacked.
If you want to know if his head is damaged, just look at Hisaki Shinobu next to him to see if he is injured.
[Ichito said he was fine, then asked, "I feel like I've forgotten something... Oh right! Huh? Weren't we underground? How did we get up here?"]
How else could they have gotten up here? By the stairs, right? No, in their situation, they must have taken the elevator.
[Yanfei said, "Yidou, we were able to escape danger this time thanks to your, Aren, and Acho's all-out help."]
"You got involved in this because of me. If you can, please let me apologize!"
Look at Yanfei's emotional intelligence. First, she praised Yishouxiao, Yelan, and the Traveler, and now she's even taking care of Yidou, Aren, and Achou.
No wonder he's a top lawyer; his emotional intelligence is unparalleled.
Well, at this point, we have to mention our Yingbao again. She's always involved in this kind of thing.
It would be really interesting to have her as a lawyer. At that time, even the judges would have to be built into the idol and the wall!
Just kidding. Although Ying's emotional intelligence is not high, her IQ is not bad. If she were to actually become a lawyer, although her eloquence would not be great, she would still have the ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Ichidou said, "Don't say that. You helped us, so it's only right that we do something for you."
"If it weren't for you, we might be in a prison cell in Liyue right now."
Kujo Sara: Isn't that good too? You haven't been to a prison in Liyue yet, why not experience it? Maybe you can come back and offer some suggestions for improvement.
After their conversation, the group became more harmonious, and Yanfei suggested taking the two Inari wives to try some authentic Liyue cuisine.
What are the authentic local delicacies? Qiu Cheng, you should write them down! You're the only way I can understand Liyue! —IP: Liyue.
Paimon always actively participates in these kinds of meal arrangements, but unfortunately, he can't this time because his 'parents' have other things to take care of.
Xiao stood to the side with his back turned, not disturbing the conversation. The matter the traveler needed to deal with referred to Xiao.
Xiao behaved so well this time, shouldn't we feed him some almond tofu?
Putting aside Xiao, A-Chou suddenly started chatting with Yi-Dou and said a long thing, which was to be entrusted to the Traveler and Paimon.
With Yidou acting as the translator, everyone curiously gathered around, eager to hear what was happening, while Xiao maintained his aloof demeanor.
Then... Lin Qiu only wrote 'Yi Dou translated Ah Chou's words to everyone,' but did not write the content.
The characters in the book know what Ah Chou said, but the readers don't.
Everyone knows, except the readers, who are very dissatisfied and are ostracizing us.
No, it seems not everyone knows, not even Xiao.
Paimon: "That Ugly guy, despite his outward appearance, is actually very thoughtful and gentle. I never expected that."
So, what exactly did Fighting Rock Bull say?
