Seeing that there was no movement in the small world.

Xu Wuning narrowed her eyes and shouted even louder, "Are you coming out or not?"

The surrounding air remained quiet for a long time.

Finally, the small ball of light trembled and emerged, "W-what's wrong? Did you call me for something?"

It wiped its sweat, its eyes darting around, feeling a little guilty, always sensing that Xu Wuning calling it meant something bad.

So he hurriedly added, "I'm already fixing the time loophole, it'll be done soon, really, very soon..."

As it spoke, it shrank back, secretly observing Xu Wuning's expression.

But Xu Wu Ning's expression surprised it. Her eyebrows curved, and a sincere, warm, and gentle smile appeared on her lips, without any hint of reproach.

The small world was stunned, and even the ball of light forgot to tremble.

Xu Wuning took two steps forward, her voice soft like a gentle breeze whispering in her ear: "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to thank you."

The little world repeated her words incredulously: "Thank me?"

The last time I saw Xu Wuning, she was throwing stones at it, trying to beat it to death. How come she's suddenly grateful to it now?

Am I dreaming?

Xu Wuning tilted her head, her cute bun bobbing slightly, her round eyes filled with gratitude for the small world. "Yes, at first, I originally wanted to teach Lu Jingci a lesson, but I suddenly ended up here, and I'm a little unhappy about it."

"That's why I threw a rock at you, I'm really sorry."

"I know you've always been fair and just, and everything you did was for the sake of the small world's storyline. You've had a tough time too."

"You've always done things for everyone's good, and you work hard every day. Even though you are the Heavenly Dao of a small world, you must be lonely and tired with no one by your side."

Little World was stunned when he heard her first words.

Moreover, Xu Wuning's appearance is delicate and soft, and her two dimples when she smiles are sweet, making her look extremely sincere.

As she spoke, one sentence after another, the little world orb's eyes reddened. This was the first time in its life that it had been empathized with by someone, and it inexplicably felt a little sad and wanted to cry.

Unexpectedly, the person who understands the hardships she has faced the most in this world is Xu Wuning.

Xu Wuning pointed downstairs towards Lu Jingci's room, her eyes welling up with tears. She continued, her voice choked with sobs:

"Actually, deep down, I've always wanted to visit Lu Jingci when he was a child. I never imagined he was so miserable, not having enough to eat or sleep."

"Thanks to me coming here and spending every day with him, it feels like I've stepped into a redemption novel. I've raised him to be healthy and strong, and I feel truly fulfilled."

"I don't really want to go back now..."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she reached out to touch the head of the little world's ball of light. "Speaking of which, the two of us have never sat down together for a drink."

"Although I'm too young to drink alcohol, I can have soft drinks. Let's have a heart-to-heart talk, little world."

"In this timeline, nobody around me knows I've traveled from another era. I'm pretty bored, and you must be having a pretty dull time too. We're kind of like close friends, so let's chat, okay?"

The small world of light sniffed and looked at Xu Wuning's face again.

Unlike Lu Jingci, who is a skilled actress, she doesn't pretend. She has always been straightforward and honest, without many hidden agendas, and simply extends a sincere invitation.

It has always been lonely in the void, and by chatting with Xu Wuning more, it can better understand the plot and contribute to the stability of this world.

So it agreed, smiling and nodding: "Okay."

……

In the quiet night, the stars twinkled outside the window, the bright moonlight shone on the branches, and a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

In Xu Wuning's room.

The Little World Light Orb and Xu Wuning were chatting enthusiastically.

It floated above the table, sometimes drifting to the left, sometimes swaying to the right, looking quite happy.

Xu Wuning nestled in her chair, smiling as she replied. Her eyebrows were curved, and she looked gentle and relaxed.

She reached for a drink on the table and took a sip.

Then, she paused for a moment, curled her lips into a smile, picked up another drink, and handed it to Little World.

The little ball of light was speaking enthusiastically, its voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement: "I've grown a flower in the void!"

"You wouldn't believe how beautiful that flower is! Its petals are silvery-blue and it even glows at night. I water it with a little bit of starlight water every day..."

It hadn't talked to anyone for a long time. Living alone, with no one paying attention to it, it started chattering away when it met Xu Wuning.

It took the drink as it spoke.

Two tiny, luminous tentacles emerged from its white orb, cupped the glass, and gulped down a mouthful.

After finishing his drink, the small world of light was about to continue speaking, "And then..."

As it was speaking, suddenly...

It felt a little dizzy, and the surrounding light seemed to flicker, as if it were drunk: "Why do I feel... a little sleepy?"

It couldn't hold on any longer and slid from mid-air onto the table, where it lay there.

Xu Wuning chuckled, her eyes changing color, and slowly curled the corners of her lips into a smile:

"That's good, I drugged you, how could you not be sleepy?"

"Just as I expected, this is your physical form. So when I hit you with a rock last time, it hurt. This time, the medicine will definitely work too."

Little World's eyes widened, and he slumped onto the table, weak and trembling as he pointed at her: "Drugs? Demon... Demon Pill!"

Its consciousness was gradually fading, and its eyelids drooped.

Xu Wuning stood up and clapped her hands: "Alright, you can stay unconscious for now. The dosage of this medicine has been increased, so you should not wake up until tomorrow night."

"By the time you wake up tomorrow night, I'll have already had Xiao Ke send me back to the correct timeline."

Yes, her plan from the previous few nights was to scheme against the small world.

Knock out that troublesome little world, then have Xiao Ke send her back and deal with Lao Lu Jingci.

Upon hearing her words, the small world of light widened its eyes in horror, struggled a few times, but still couldn't muster any strength and had no way to escape.

It had always thought that Lu Jingci was a good actor who could change his expression easily, but it never expected that Xu Wuning was also such a good actor.

They were indeed two demonic children. It was so desperate that it wanted to cry but had no tears left. It would never trust either of them again.

From now on, it will never confide in anyone again. It was all for the sake of trusting Xu Wuning so much; people's hearts are unpredictable!

Waaaaah, they actually poisoned it!

The full effects of the medicine surged up, and it could no longer withstand it. Its vision went black, and it completely fainted.

Before losing consciousness, its last thought was: It failed to mediate the fight, and was even outmaneuvered; Lu Jingci is doomed too…
