Who else could that woman with a perfect figure be but ShenDai Ying?
Lin Xiao was delighted when he saw her and ran over to try and hug her, but she was vigilant and swung at him when she noticed him getting closer. A huge wave immediately shot up and formed a thick wall of water and almost washed Lin Xiao away. It was a while before the wall slowly vanished, but ShenDai Ying already retreated and was staring at him vigilantly.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
“Sister Ying, I’m Lin Xiao!”
Lin Xiao thought she was joking as he pointed at himself and smiled, but she ended up putting up her guard even more.
“Nonsense! You’re not Lin Xiao!”
“Ah? I’m not?”
Lin Xiao was confused, he himself should know whether he was Lin Xiao or not, so why was she denying it?
“Who are you? … Get out of here, this isn’t someplace you should be!”
“Sister Ying? D-do you not recognize me?”
“Why would I recognize you?”
“I’m Lin Xiao! You know me… Not mentioning what happened in the past, but you just stabbed me earlier! I’m not coming here to get back at you, why are you acting dumb?”
“Acting dumb? Hmph, I don’t know what you’re talking about, as for what you said about me stabbing you, I… tsk! T-that never happened!” ShenDai Ying was clearly impatient and denied everything Lin Xiao said!
“Hurry up and leave intruder! This is my final warning!”
“No, I’m not leaving… even if I am, I’m taking you with me!”
Lin Xiao looked at her serious demeanor and she didn’t appear to be acting, he then looked at the dim skies and the pitch-black ocean and seemed to understand something.
Why was there nothing but the sky and ocean here, why did she not recognize him and treat him like an enemy?
If he was an intruder, then who was the ShenDai Ying standing in front of him, or rather… what was she?
Is she perhaps the girl that is trapped by her internal demons?
“Tsk, annoying, why did you come here!”
“I came to save you!”
“Save me?”
“That’s right! Sister Ying, I understand… if this dark world is your consciousness, then my mission is to take you out of here!”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying… intruder, what are you planning?”
“I’m planning on saving you. Come with me sister Ying, take a good look, I’m Lin Xiao! You can trust me!”
“Are you really Lin Xiao? No, you aren’t…. you’re not! You liar!”
ShenDai Ying bit her lips and was in turmoil because of Lin Xiao’s words and continued to deny him. Then she simply treated him as an enemy and turned to leave.
“No one can save me! And I don’t need to be saved by anyone… leave intruder, don’t force me!”
“Sister Ying! Don’t go, listen to me, I… ah! A-again?”
Lin Xiao wanted to chase after her, but the water rose again and formed another huge water wall that split everything into two. On one side was Lin Xiao who kept trying to bypass it and getting forcibly blown back. On the other side, ShenDai Ying turned back several times and looked at the intruder who kept yelling.
Was that barbaric intruder really Lin XIao?
She didn’t know, but if he was, then he would surely have a way to prove himself…
“Sister Ying, don’t go!!!”
Lin Xiao watched her walk further away, he clenched his teeth and took a couple of steps back then ran head first into the wall!
“Who said that no one can save you? I can! Just watch!”
If this place was her consciousness then this impenetrable wall was probably her heart’s defense.
Yes, this wall was sturdy and in this gloomy world it was an absolute partition that blocked all intruders outside, but at the same time, it blocked out all warmth as well. There was no light, no flowers so this world appeared desolate…. but when Lin Xiao arrived here, everything was in the past.
With victory in mind, he began his final attack against the wall! In that instant, there was a bright light that enveloped him, a golden warm light, just like sunlight, followed by a loud bang! He actually managed to create a large hole in her defenses!
“Sister Ying, come with me!”
Lin Xiao rushed to the other side and grabbed onto ShenDai Ying’s hand with a tight grip and wouldn’t let go! Following that, the wall of water collapsed, and the pitch-black water became a pouring rain and signified the end of the old world.
“No, I’m not going with you! I won’t, I can’t, I, I’m afraid to….”
The girl had a splitting headache and tried to escape, but her hand was gripped tight by the invader, and he wouldn’t let go even though the world was collapsing around them.
“N-no… I-I can’t, I really can’t!”
“Sister Ying, trust me, don’t be scared, let’s leave this place together!”
He was like the sun and swept away all the darkness and gloominess, a dazzling light!
He reached out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.
