Chen Bai opened his eyes. Before the light penetrated the retina of his eyes, the aroma filling his nose made him smile.

"Sister Mao'er."

The scene in front of him was exactly what he had imagined. The beautiful girl with black hair and golden eyes looked at him with a smile and said softly:

"Honey, are you awake?"

"Um……"

Shen Bai stood up, leaned his head on the girl, and murmured in a low voice:

"My head is a little dizzy..."

"Oh? The injury is not fully healed yet?"

"Yeah." Shen Bai rubbed his temples, recalling the battle a month ago. In the finals of the crazy October in Shendu, he lost to a terrifying opponent with king-level combat power and was hit in the head and fell into coma. It's been a week, and until now, he still feels groggy after waking up.

"Ha, dear." Sister Mao'er pinched her pale face distressedly and pouted slightly:

"I'm telling you not to fight so hard. Why are you fighting against a king-level master for nothing? Do you really think you are a weakling who can't be beaten to death?"

"The entire federation was watching the competition, and I was excited without realizing it. Fortunately, that guy Di Tian avenged me and won the Eternal Life Cup."

"Hehe, no matter how strong Ditian is, he is still not as good as you in my mind."

"That is, how can he have a face as handsome as mine?"

Chen Bai stood up with a playful smile, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and opened the small window with a puff, letting the afternoon breeze flow into the room.

The orange sunshine is warm, and even the gentle breeze carries a gentle smell. The green plants on the street are blown by the wind, and the aroma of green grass and tender flowers is refreshing.

Chen Bai opened his arms, and Sister Mao'er behind him came over and hugged him from behind.

The two of them were silent, and a congenial silence spread in the living room.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Mao'er." Shen Bai patted the girl's hand, turned around and said with a smile:

"Di Tian told me this morning that he will come back from the old border tonight and stop by as a guest. Are we going to make preparations?"

"Okay, honey."

Sister Maoer chuckled and jumped away, spinning around on the smooth floor of the living room and making a classic invitation:

"My prince, please allow me to go out with you."

Shen Bai was so happy that he took the girl's hand and walked out together.

The street is already completely white.

The utopia in October turned into spring due to the influence of "a special geographical climate that is rare in ten thousand years", but in December, winter still arrived as promised.

The cleaning work in Lanhai City is very good. Even if it snowed heavily last night, the road surface is still very clean. The white snow is like neat tiles, which crunch when stepped on.

Sister Mao'er became playful and stepped on Shen Bai's feet with her exquisite jade feet, smiling and clinging to him.

The two of them purchased a lot of things at the Ocean Heart Commercial Center. Considering that Di Tian was born in the third living circle, where most of the citizens like spicy food, Shen Bai even bought shiny Chaotian peppers.

They played for a while and rested for a while. After resting for a while, they went shopping again. When they returned home, the sun was setting and almost sunset.

"Sister Mao'er, that boy Ditian probably likes hot pot. Let's just wash the vegetables and cut the meat into slices."

"Ah? When your good friend comes to visit, shouldn't he serve him ten or eight dishes?"

"That's all formalism. Only unfamiliar people do that. Besides, when people come to our home by name, they must want to feel the atmosphere of the home..."

"My dear, you make stingy look fresh and refined, hee hee."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is the waist and abdomen meat of the war-level mutant beast [Hundred-foot Tianlei]! ​​It's a fine fat cow..."

The two chatted and laughed and started preparing the hot pot.

Hot pot is really easy to prepare. People who are very particular just cut the meat slices into equal thicknesses and arrange the vegetables and tofu into a nice shape. Logically speaking, it should be done very quickly.

It's a pity that Shen Bai and Sister Mao'er always fight together in the middle of washing vegetables. Although it's sweet, it always delays the progress of preparing hot pot.

However, until the sun set, the moon hung high, the meat and vegetables were washed, and the hot pot soup base was boiled over and over again, Di Tian still did not come.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Shen Bai picked up the phone again, but just as he was about to press the dial button, Sister Maoer stopped him.

The girl with black hair and golden eyes placed her delicate palm on the phone screen. She shook her head slightly and gestured at the TV with her mouth open.

Shen Bai followed her gaze and was suddenly stunned.

The picture on the TV was already black and white.

[Federal Comprehensive Channel, Emergency Interruption: The S-class Apocalypse Ditian, the son of the guardian of the third life circle, was ambushed by the aberrant [Heavenly Demon] Daanwujue when he crossed the border of the old land at 7:00 this morning. He was defeated and has been killed. Death confirmed.]

[Di Tian is now 16 years old. He won the Immortal Cup Championship with a sweep in this year’s Crazy October. He is loyal to the Federation and the people, brave and good at fighting, and is a role model for countless teenagers to learn from...]

Shen Bai looked at the news calmly. The female host in the picture was dignified and beautiful. She was dressed extremely seriously, wearing very plain clothes, and her speech was extremely clear.

Every word he uttered seemed to hit Shen Bai's heart.

"How could..."

Shen Bai sat down in despair, his face turned pale.

"Honey."

Sister Mao'er hugged Shen Bai distressedly and patted his back like a coaxing child:

"It's okay, it's okay, it will pass. Go to sleep, and when you wake up..."

"No!" Shen Bai suddenly stood up and turned his back to Sister Mao'er:

"I'm going to the border."

"What did you say?!"

"I want to go to the border." Shen Bai breathed heavily, his voice trembling:

"The Great Darkness... He killed my friend, and I want revenge!"

"You're crazy!" The girl with black hair and golden eyes roared:

"That's [Heavenly Demon] Great Darkness! The person who has been fighting with [Savior] Shi Yuntian for thousands of years. Even Emperor Tian is no match. Are you going to the border to avenge him?"

"Yes, no matter what it takes, even my life, I will twist off the head of the great darkness."

"I don't allow you to go!" Sister Mao'er grabbed Shen Bai and said in a fierce tone:

"If you are gone, what else will I have left alive..."

"Pfft hahaha!"

"?"

"Uh, sorry, go on, I just thought of happy things."

"...Dear, don't be impulsive, for me, for this family..."

"Ouch hahaha!"

"???"

Shen Bai started to laugh so hard that he couldn't hold back his tears. He let go of the girl's hand, feeling quite embarrassed:

"I'm sorry, this dream is really real. Even Sister Mao'er's subconscious movements can be simulated. But I'm sorry, I have to go to the capital of God to participate in the finals... and in my eyes, your flaws are still too big. ah."

"……Clam?"

Shen Bai sighed, looked at the black and white screen of the TV, and spoke in a gentle and determined tone:
Chapter completed!
