The people in the collapsing iron gave the immortal ship a small shock from the Holy Lord.

Bai Zhi winked playfully and said.

"If it's Mei, I'd be willing anytime..."

Huang Quan was slightly taken aback. Bai Zhi's words reminded her of some deceased friends.

They said the same thing to themselves, and they did the same thing, but in the end, they all fell before themselves.

“Bai Zhi, you should leave…” Huang Quan hesitated for a moment before saying.

"Huh? Why did you suddenly say that?"

Bai Zhi looked at Huang Quan with some surprise. She had only just arrived, so why was she being kicked out?

"Don't get too close to me. The emptiness around me is too heavy. I'm afraid I'll drag you into the abyss of emptiness and self-destruction as well."

Huang Quan stretched out her hand, and a terrifying power erupted from it, giving people a dreadful feeling as if she were peering into an abyss.

In that abyss, it seems that nothing exists; everything will return to nothingness.

“My fate is already sealed; I am but a guardian of the underworld and a guide to salvation. But Bai Zhi, your destiny has not yet arrived, and I am not worthy of your presence.”

Huang Quan reached out and touched Bai Zhi's face, trying to absorb the slight amount of ethereal power that had just erupted.

She did that to remind Bai Zhi just how terrifying the power of nothingness was, and that she shouldn't stay by her side anymore.

Bai Zhi helped her once, which was enough.

Even though she missed those flavors, she didn't want to bother others.

However, when she touched Bai Zhi's face, she was shocked because she discovered that the ethereal power she had unleashed had mysteriously disappeared.

No, to be precise, there are still some residual void power, but this residual void power seems to be dissipating at an extremely rapid pace.

"And now?" Bai Zhi asked with a grin.

Bai Zhi could sense the ethereal forces attempting to invade, but these forces were insufficient to block the effects of the Horse Talisman.

"why is that??"

Huang Quan was somewhat surprised; the power of nothingness was so strong that other forces of destiny could hardly have a significant impact on her.

This also demonstrates that nothingness is something that other forces of destiny can hardly resist.

"I told you when we met last time that I wouldn't forget you~"

Bai Zhi took the cake plate from Huang Quan, picked up the knife on it, cut off a piece, skewered it, and handed it to Huang Quan.

"I just saw you were about to drop your pearls. Your sense of taste must have deteriorated again. You couldn't eat the little cakes, so you were so upset that you were crying and making a fuss. You looked so pitiful."

Huang Quan listened without expression, then picked up his knife.

"oops!"

Bai Zhi covered her head because Huang Quan had just tapped her on the head with the hilt of his knife.

"Nobody wants a rough girl!"

"...Do I look like someone who needs to be needed? Besides, no one has the guts to do that; nothingness will swallow them up."

After Huang Quan finished speaking, he helplessly reached out and patted Bai Zhi's head, "Did I hurt you?"

"No, but Mei, who says nobody has the guts? I do!"

Bai Zhi grabbed Huang Quan's outstretched hand, and the horse talisman was immediately activated.

"Is this feeling... from back then?"

Huang Quan immediately felt a warm current coming from Bai Zhi's hand, and her mouth, which was slightly open in surprise, immediately tasted the sweetness she had been longing for.

Bai Zhi stuffed a small piece of cake into her mouth.

"How about that~" Bai Zhi twirled the knife around and said smugly, "Mere nothingness, nothing more than that."

Huang Quan subconsciously chewed it, and it wasn't tasteless at all, but incredibly sweet. Looking at the smug Bai Zhi, she suddenly felt her heart filled with warmth.

How long has it been since I've seen my companions smile and eat delicious food in front of me?

That was probably a very, very long time ago, when everything was still there, before we fell into that abyss of despair. It was truly a wonderful time.

Unfortunately, everything has now vanished.

Countless images flashed through Huang Quan's mind.

"To those who have passed away, I weep..."

Huang Quan closed his eyes slightly, his purple hair began to turn gray, and a tear of blood flowed from the corner of his eye.

"Okay, I know you're touched, Mei, but now is not the time to let your emotions get the better of you and lead you to death."

Bai Zhi patted Huang Quan's shoulder, and the power of the Dragon Talisman rushed into Huang Quan's body, instantly waking him from his reverie and nihilism.

The hair that had just started to turn white immediately turned back to its original color.

"...Thank you, Bai Zhi."

After waking up, Huang Quan paused for a moment, then smiled gently, picked up Bai Zhi, and softly kissed her forehead.

In the past, she would never have done this, because she didn't know if the ethereal aura on her body would affect Bai Zhi through close contact.

But she only took this action after confirming that nothingness had no effect on Bai Zhi, because she didn't want the person she was helping to be harmed by her.

Feeling the dampness on her forehead and the lingering fragrance, Bai Zhi blinked and immediately transformed into an insatiable wolf, saying, "Can we do it a few more times?"

"Huh? Why?"

"There's no other reason, it's just that Mei is too cute," Bai Zhi said matter-of-factly. "No one can complain about having too many kisses from a beautiful girl!"

"You little rascal, you're really greedy. You remind me of an old friend who used to be just like you, always wanting more of everything."

Huang Quan extended his index finger and gently flicked Bai Zhi on the forehead.

Bai Zhi covered her head, "Am I not Mei's friend?"

"Hehe." Huang Quan laughed. "You really know how to seize an opportunity. But now you are indeed my friend."

"Great!"

Chapter 510 Yellow Springs: Little guy, you're really good at flirting.

"Come on, open your mouth."

"This feeling...it's kind of shameful..."

Huang Quan's cheeks flushed slightly as he watched Bai Zhi feed him a piece of cake. What was going on with this feeling that resembled a couple feeding each other?

Or am I just overthinking it?

Bai Zhi doesn't look very old, so as for being in a relationship, you're definitely overthinking it!

Huang Quan kept repeating this sentence in his mind.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Is the cake not tasty anymore, or are the cocktails not good?"

Bai Zhi then held the small cake piece stuck in the stalk towards Huang Quan's mouth.

……

Huang Quan hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth, and Bai Zhi accurately threw a slice of cake into it. He then subconsciously began to chew.

It's as sweet as ever, and worth savoring.

A slight smile appeared on her face.

However, this feeling of being immersed in sweetness was quickly interrupted by Bai Zhi's voice.

"Look, there's still a lot left around his mouth."

Bai Zhi stretched out her finger and scraped it around Huang Quan's lips, leaving a ring of white cream on her index finger.

"Eh!"

Huang Quan was dumbfounded as he watched Bai Zhi eat the cream off her finger.

"We must not waste food. There is a poem in our Immortal Ship that says, 'Who knows the hardship behind every grain of rice on the plate?' It means that every bit of food is precious."

Bai Zhi shook her finger and said in a serious tone.

"Is that right?"

Huang Quan felt that Bai Zhi was talking nonsense, but this poem did have the style of ancient poems from Xianzhou, and didn't seem to be made up on the spot.

"That's right, that's exactly it, my dear Mei~"

"Besides, you can eat whatever you want in your dreams without worrying about gaining weight. Wouldn't it be great to eat more during this time?"

Huang Quan fell silent; it seemed there was indeed nothing wrong with it.

However, she quickly realized that since this was all a dream, what was the point of bringing up the hard work behind every grain of rice?

Seeing Huang Quan's expression, Bai Zhi knew that he had realized the logical fallacy in his previous words. She could only tilt her head cutely and make an "eh-heh" sound, trying to get away with it by being adorable.

"You little rascal, never mind..."

Huang Quan was both amused and exasperated.

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just an ordinary child from the Wisdom Clan, but I really admire my dear Mei-neechan, so this is the only way~"

"I hope Mei-neechan won't dislike me because of this~"

Bai Zhi spoke there in a very tactful tone.

"Okay, okay, stop talking like that..."

Huang Quan reached out and pinched Bai Zhi's cheek, which gave her a sense of déjà vu, as if she had done the same to others in the past.

Along with these memories, she could sense that the space in this crevice was being rapidly eroded by nothingness, and would probably soon become a void with nothing at all.

"Little guy, it looks like it's almost time again."

Huang Quan glanced at the black patterns spreading around him, shook his head slightly, and then reached out to touch Bai Zhi's head.

"So fast? I thought only a few seconds had passed."

Mei chuckled, “How could that be? Even in a dream, how could it have taken only a few seconds for me to say so much and do so much?”

"Of course it's because time seems to fly by when I'm with my dear Mei."

Bai Zhi reached out and grabbed Huang Quan's hair, playing with it as she spoke in a very sincere tone.

"Little guy, has anyone ever told you that you're good at flirting?"

Huang Quan tossed her long hair. "This kind of angled place is not suitable for staying here for long. Go back. I don't want you to be hurt when the space breaks."

"Okay, Mei, remember to miss me."

"I will miss you..." Huang Quan said helplessly, but deep down she also felt a sense of acceptance.

Bai Zhi is special; she was not affected by her ethereal power and could even redeem her in return.

"Hehe, I think so too. After all, Mei's future enjoyment of food and drink will be entirely in my hands."

Bai Zhi put her hands on her hips and said proudly.

Huang Quan was speechless, but couldn't find any words to refute Bai Zhi.

Because in the silent world of the self-destructing one, which seemed to be nothing but black and white, a touch of sweetness and color suddenly appeared, which was irresistible no matter what.

"Well then, goodbye, Mei. If the effects wear off, you can come find me on that tourist planet in this galaxy. I'm currently living there."

Bai Zhi opened her arms wide. "Come on, Mei. If saving you is a sin, then let me be the sinner. Roar, Mei!"

……

Huang Quan covered her forehead, feeling like she had high blood pressure. After taking a deep breath, she slowly pulled out the knife.

Time seemed to stand still around her, and Bai Zhi only saw a flash of light, which made her involuntarily close her eyes.

Then, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself lying on a large bed.

Above my head was a very familiar ceiling. If I'm not mistaken, this should be my room on the planetary cluster of the Dimensional Nexus.

"That slash from the Void Commander was really powerful."

Bai Zhi shook her head, regaining her energy. On her second encounter with Huang Quan, she received a sweet kiss—a perfect victory!

"Hey, you're finally awake! I thought you were going to keep sleeping like that."
