Chapter 457: The Conversation of Fate (6/6)

A deafening roar suddenly sounded, alarming the boy and girl at the worst possible time when they had already forgotten to breathe.

The kiss that could have been sealed in less than a centimeter came to a sudden halt.

Dawn was jolted awake and like a frightened rabbit, she subconsciously retreated backwards. Instantly, she was a few meters away.

Shi Xiaobai was also given a shock. Thankfully, his body had already barely recovered a bit of strength. He hurriedly used his hands to support himself, preventing him from collapsing because of the girl’s sudden release.

After Dawn retreated in shock, she immediately looked up subconsciously at Shi Xiaobai. Noticing how he had recovered some of his strength, she heaved a sigh of relief as an indescribable embarrassment overwhelmed her.

She hurriedly turned, making her back face Shi Xiaobai. She breathed in deeply to calm her mind and raised her hand to gently touch her burning face.

Phew, it’s so hot.

Dawn Li, what were you thinking?

How could you…

Why…

Could it be…

“That…that…”

Dawn stuttered and tried to calmly say a few words to attenuate that embarrassing situation, but she did not even have the courage to turn around. The voice she said from her burning and vexed chest had the embarrassment of a girl, while her mind was in a mess. She could not even form a complete sentence.

“What just happened is very normal.”

On the other hand, Shi Xiaobai happened to appear much calmer. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down. After all, he was a person who had seen much in life and was a man with experience. He coughed gently and said, “When man and woman are too close, it’s very natural to have something like that happen. It’s a very normal matter!”

Shi Xiaobai recalled the scene when he was in Riko’s home, when he was attracted by Kali’s beautiful golden eye. He could not help but approach it so that he could see it clearly. Unknowingly, the tip of his nose had touched her nose tip. Immediately after that, Kali had suddenly used her lips to give a quick peck on his lips.

It was probably something very natural.

A very common matter.

“It’s far from being normal, alright?!”

When Dawn heard what Shi Xiaobai said, she immediately could not feign her calmness. She turned to glare at Shi Xiaobai before immediately turning back. She could not help but pucker her lips.

Although she had no interest in matters between men and women, she still had such general knowledge.

What they had just done was clearly things only couples would do!

And he actually said it was normal?

What sort of joke was that?

If the person who nearly stole away her first kiss wasn’t him but anyone else, she would definitely feel so grossed out that she would vomit.

No, just the thought of it was enough to make her feel like vomiting.

Eh? Why did she feel that even if it were him, it would not be something unacceptable if not for the interruption?

Indeed…

Was it indeed like that?

Dawn was always proud of her intelligence, but this time, she hated herself for being smart. Why did she immediately figure out a nontrivial matter?

But since she had figured it out, she could not avoid it any further.

Face it.

Dawn Li, you aren’t even afraid of death, so what’s there to be afraid about?

Do not hesitate. Maybe this might be the last moments that you can spend with him. Maybe this is the only chance!

Do not let yourself regret!

Isn’t it just…

Dawn turned around suddenly and while facing Shi Xiaobai, she took a deep breath and roared out, “Shi Xiaobai!”

Shi Xiaobai was given a fright by her sudden imposing stance as he hurriedly responded, “Huh?”

Dawn closed her eyes slowly and took a deep breath once again.

When she opened her eyes, the look in her eyes had finally calmed down. She focused on Shi Xiaobai’s eyes and said slowly and calmly, “The time we have gotten to know each other is extremely short. It’s so short that it might seem to be a rush to even become friends, but what I will say next might make you find it weird, but please believe that those are truthful words from my very heart. It’s the truth that I have to say or I will definitely regret.”

“Shi Xiaobai! The matter that happened just now isn’t normal. It’s something impossible for me to do, but it really almost happened. However, even if it had happened, it has nothing to do with us being too close to one another, much less is it because of a superficial reason like the attraction between man and woman. The reason why I nearly… with you, is because…”

Dawn came to a halt when she said that as her hands began to tremble slightly. She lowered her head to look at the ground. Even her ear lobes were flushing pink.

Shi Xiaobai gulped a mouthful of saliva as he felt that the mood had suddenly turned serious. He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness. “It’s because?”

Dawn fell silent for a long while before she slowly clenched her fists.

Mom, please give your daughter that bit of courage.

“It’s because…”

Dawn suddenly looked up and enunciated every single word, “It’s because, I…like…”

“Roar!”

Another deafening roar sounded suddenly at the most critical moment!

At the same time, an intense slamming sound erupted as the ground began to quake violently. It interrupted Dawn’s sentence in a relentless fashion and at the same time diverted Shi Xiaobai’s attention.

The courage the girl went to great pains to muster from her prayers collapsed immediately. She could only turn to look in the direction of the sound in anger!

“Darn bastard!”

Dawn swore that she had never been so furious before!

Heavens, that courage that was so difficult to muster and the mood she prepared was all gone!

She definitely could not do another confession again!

Looking through the translucent turtle shell, Dawn saw a three-meter-tall three-headed hound. It was raising its heads and roaring. Suddenly, it lifted its claws to slam on the Shell of the Black Turtle. It caused the Shell of the Black Turtle to quiver!

She stared at the three-headed hound angrily. If not for the need of the Shell of the Black Turtle to protect Shi Xiaobai from the black beams of light that were constantly falling from the sky, she would have definitely charged out to dice the darn dog into pieces!

The three-headed hound clearly sensed the killing intent from the girl, but it did not seem to feel any fear. Instead, it roared angrily once again and forcefully slammed the translucent turtle shell once again.

It was venting, it was venting the anger of a bachelor dog!

Shi Xiaobai calmly surveyed his surroundings and immediately noticed that at the end of the horizons, there were several massive figures. There were also gigantic monsters surging from the ends of the sky towards them. It was apparent that the danger in this unfamiliar world was not only limited to the black beams of light. A three-headed hound was already enough to cause the turtle shell to quiver. If a few more monsters came, it was unknown how long it could last.

“Sigh, it looks like it’s time to talk about proper matters.”

Shi Xiaobai slowly moved his body towards Dawn and said with a serious voice, “Back to the proper topic. What is the situation right now? Where is this place? What happened after the clash of our final strikes? Why did we appear here? What should we do to leave this place? Tell whatever you know to This King.”

Due to the promise of having a ‘casual chat’, Shi Xiaobai had allowed the girl to decide on the topic of conversation. He held back the questions that filled his mind and joined her in a casual chat.

But now, it was no longer the time to have a leisurely chat. He needed sufficient information to think of a way to resolve the situation they were in.

Dawn clearly realized this as well. She turned to look at Shi Xiaobai and gaped. Her eyes blinked as she cast her gaze to her side. She said in an nearly inaudible manner, “I don’t know.”

Shi Xiaobai said in surprise, “What?”

Dawn lowered her head slightly and whispered, “Sorry, I don’t know. The questions you asked me. I…have no way of answering any of them.”

Shi Xiaobai stared with widened eyes. “Didn’t you say that…the situation is very complicated?”

Didn’t you say that the situation was very complicated and that we needed to have a good chat?

Dawn gave an embarrassed smile as she stuttered, “Although I do not know what had happened, it’s true that…the situation is very complicated.”

As she felt slightly guilty, the way she lamely argued had a hint of sultriness.

The reason why she said the ‘situation was very complicated’ was so that she could say ‘need to have a good chat’. It all boiled down to a girl’s selfishness after having ‘heard’ a person’s voice. But in fact, she did not know why they had suddenly appeared in the unfamiliar and dangerous place.

Shi Xiaobai was dumbfounded for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He said seriously once again, “Do you really, really not know a thing?”

In the present situation, even a trivial piece of information might be a life-saving straw.

Dawn immediately sat solemnly and frowned to think hard about the situation from before. She was not an unknowing girl that did not know any better. When she was serious, there was no way she would lax on it.

“When the white and golden light mixed together, almost nothing could be seen at that instant. But I still remember…that interspersed between the white and golden light was a few beams of pale golden light. As the paleness was relatively similar, I once thought it as an illusion, but now on careful thought, those pale beams of golden light seemed to shoot from the ground into the sky.”

With a contemplative look, Dawn said, “If I didn’t guess wrongly, those beams of golden light should be the activating light of an array formation. The ground we were standing on was probably a massive, pre-laid out invisible array formation. In addition to the momentary mental fuzziness and the loss of weight, that array could very well be a teleportation nexus.”

Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly, “That is to say someone had laid out a teleportation nexus ahead of time. It was activated at the moment when we used all our strength. As we were unable to divert our attention, we were transported to this world?”

Dawn nodded and said, “That’s likely the case. But to be able to teleport a person in an undetectable and involuntary manner is the first I’ve encountered. So, it might not be a teleportation nexus as well. But it is certain that all of this was plotted by someone. In order to kill us, the person had made thorough calculations to lay out such a meticulous plan.”

Shi Xiaobai sighed gently and said, “If that is the case, that person must have considered the exit command. It’s unlikely that the exit command can be used to escape this world. The black beams of light and the monsters that are coming should be endless. We can last for a while, but not forever. Escaping this world is the only way to live on.”

After Shi Xiaobai said that, he surveyed his surroundings once again. Other than the massive three-headed hound that was slamming the turtle shell, there were dozens of strangely-shaped behemoths that had approached them. And at the ends of the horizon and sky, there were more and more figures swarming over.

How long more could the turtle shell protect them?

When the time came, they would be facing endless black beams and a monster scourge. How were they to survive?

Escaping this world might sound simple, but they did not have any information regarding the world they were in. There was also no way to know of the way to escape the world. They were facing an absolutely despairing situation!

A perplexed look flashed in Shi Xiaobai’s eyes before it disappeared. Immediately, it was filled with firm willpower.

No!

They had to live on!

At least!

At least she had to live on!
