In the dusty and dark space, the open field of vision finally allowed a glimpse of the distant darkness. The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

Fengyuan Manye stood in front of Shen Qianluo, who raised his eyes slightly and looked at the scattered soldiers on the stone slab: "I allow you to explain a little. What is your purpose in following us from the altar?"

The purple-haired boy folded his arms across his chest and chuckled, remaining unhurried.

"I just came to Yuanxia Palace to investigate some things, but I didn't expect to run into Lord Xiaoshen who fell from the sky. Your sudden appearance alarmed many things, and what made me most curious... As expected, you caused such a complicated situation, but pretended to be out of it——"

He lowered his voice slightly and stared into the god's eyes as he smiled softly, "Is it intentional or unintentional?"

"Of course I'm innocent." Unexpectedly, Shen Qianluo blinked decisively, and stood there holding Longlong, with an innocent expression, "I was inexplicably captured by a mysterious force and brought to this dark underground space, and was besieged by dragon lizards, and even had to participate in a terrible trial that I couldn't refuse-"

"As a weak demon god, I was really scared. If it weren't for this little human friend protecting me, I would have been pinned to the ground in this dangerous place and at the mercy of others. Don't you agree, Manye?"

"...?" Fengyuan Manye couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he heard it. He coughed, looked away and said vaguely, "Hmm..."

Skirmisher:?

Could it be that he couldn't see that Shen Qianluo was now calm, composed and at ease?

Furthermore, if the situation was really as dire as the young man said... why did he and this human reach the second level of the trial so quickly and unstoppably?

Of course, the puppet executive officer who had been wandering around the periphery for a while and failed to find a breakthrough would definitely not easily tell such a shameful act...

"The Executor followed behind Wan Ye and me, could it be that he wanted to learn some tricks to pass the level?"

And the next second, he met Shen Qianluo's smiling expression...

The soldier was furious: "How ridiculous! A mechanism of this level..."

He stopped talking because he couldn't tell a lie. He crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "I can tell you a piece of information. Yuanxia Palace once experienced a period of coexistence of two gods."

"Different from the Great Sea God Orobas recorded in official history, there was another god here at a certain time, usually called the 'God of the White Night'."

Paying attention to the different reactions of the two people below him, the soldier landed lightly and walked over step by step, "How is it, sincere enough?"

"Bai Ye... God? Could it be..."

Looking past Kaedehara Manye who was mumbling about the contents of the diary, Shen Qianluo raised his eyes slightly and looked at the young executive. Under the shadow of his eyelashes, his black pupils were as clear as the sky.

"I never keep useless people around me. This interesting information is only the price of your secret stalking. If you want to continue to follow us... then prove your worth to me."

He whispered gently, smiling obediently. When the last syllable fell, the curve of his mouth became increasingly unclear. "I believe you will be a smart little friend."

Staring deeply into the boy's eyes, Sanbing crossed his arms and chuckled softly, "You are indeed worthy of being the Flute God of Liyue, but I always hate uncertain bets. Before you invite me to join you, have you taken out the chips to prove yourself?"

"Of course I have bargaining chips." Shen Qianluo seemed to have been prepared for this, and smiled slightly, "For example, your life experience? Thunder God..."

“Shut up!” His pupils shrank suddenly at this moment. Sanbing interrupted the god’s whisper without hesitation, which seemed to disappear at any time. He grabbed his shoulder and his expression suddenly became gloomy. “Where are you from…!”

His wrist was grabbed. Fengyuan Manye stopped him again, his eyes darkening as well: "Please respect him a little."

It's him again, this human...

"Be aware of your identity. Who allowed you to interrupt our conversation at will?" The soldier, who was in a very bad mood, impatiently shook off the boy's restraints and used some strong force in dissatisfaction.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the maple-red highlights on the boy's hair as he staggered.

At this moment, my breathing seemed to stop instantly along with the trembling of my heart.

Ignoring the stiffness of the scattered soldiers, Fengyuan Manye still stood firmly in front of Shen Qianluo: "No matter what your status is, I will not allow you to attack him."

"Huh?" A cross finally popped up on the executive officer's head. "I'm just asking some questions. Are you so worried that he'll get hurt?"

The human child, who was always gentle and friendly in his dealings with others, became inexplicably stubborn: "You can still ask questions from this distance, please don't come any closer."

I don't know what he recalled for no reason, but there was another cross on his head. He lowered his voice and said, "I'll say it again, get out of the way."

Fengyuan Wanye gripped the hilt tightly, his eyes were solemn and stubborn: "I will not give in."

“…” So Shen Qianluo, who had inexplicably become the core figure but seemed to be marginalized, blinked and tilted his head, looked to the left at the little rabbit Manye who seemed to be irritated and pretending to be fierce, and to the right at the tsundere and unhappy cat Sanbing, and pinched his chin.

He chuckled, and when Fengyuan Manye was stunned, he pulled the person behind him, interrupting the visual battle between the two little sparks and lightning.

In the next moment, before even the scattered soldiers could react, she suddenly turned into a shadow and appeared in front of him. When he came back to his senses the next second, his throat was unexpectedly locked: "You should feel honored. You are... the first person who dares to interrupt me like this."

"..." A drop of cold sweat unexpectedly slid down the side of his face, and the soldier remained calm and observed the god's playful expression and whispers.

Only beneath the warm smile can one glimpse the unspeakable arrogance and indifference.

"you…"

"But." But in the next second, the god quickly loosened his hand, continued to embrace Longlong with both hands, turned around and walked towards the end of this level of the trial, "Since you are Brother Ya's colleague, I will give you another chance. Follow me, I won't wait for anyone."

"…Brother Ya?" Fengyuan Manye, who was surprised by the strange name, followed him without hesitation. At the same time, he was secretly alert to the movements behind him. It was obvious that Sanbing's strange personality made him feel difficult to deal with.

Only the puppet boy was left standing there for a few seconds, a little confused by Shen Qianluo's repeated attitude.

Recalling the moment when the god approached, his calm and gentle smile, and his elegant and pleasant scent like green pine, he slightly tightened his fingertips, thought for a moment, and followed him.

Of course, it was impossible that he had even the slightest bit of weird interest in strange gods.

"Okay, be good, kids can't sulk in secret."

"Heh, which eye of yours saw that I was angry?"

"I'm sorry, but please keep your distance from him."

"…Tsk, useless defense."

"... "

"Ahem. Manye is good, and you are good too. Good children should be well behaved. I will let the wind elf dance a song for whoever behaves well."

Lying on the shoulder·Slacking off·Wind Elf:?

So after a lot of fuss, the three groups that passed the level finally got the new diary at the end.

"Today I tried to touch the artifact again. My guess turned out to be correct. This is a heinous act. For the sake of my people and for Him... I will keep the secret in my heart..."

"Does the demon god also see phantoms? I think I saw him. I chased after him desperately, but there was nothing. The people of the sea looked at me with strange eyes..."

“…Is that you?”
