The Infinite Journey of a Certain Flame

Beside the door, Kosmo stood with his arms crossed, looking helpless.

Because it happened so suddenly, he only found out just now that Gretsch had been busy painting these past few days.

I haven't eaten much...

But strangely enough, in this world, Ying Jie seems to have become like an ordinary person...

Kosmo hadn't experienced the feeling of eating and resting properly in a long time.

Experiencing it again now gives him the feeling of being in paradise.

"Ah, okay, Kosmo!"

Upon hearing Kosmo's words, Gretchen realized that she had woken up, but her stomach was still rumbling.

A blush rose to her cheeks.

Okay, go ahead and eat!

Kosmo smiled and then left the room.

"Thank you, Kosmo."

Grey said thank you, then picked up the fork on the table and continued eating.

Although it was a cake, she thought it tasted delicious.

"Mmm, this tastes really good!"

"I want to eat more!"

Gretchen thought for a moment, then put the cake in her mouth.

Watching her happily eating the cake, a subtle smile gradually appeared on Kosmo's face, one that was difficult for most people to detect.

Everything was so beautiful and so orderly.

until...

"Hahaha! Let's fight to the death!"

A familiar voice suddenly appeared outside the villa...

"That voice, is it Qian Jie?"

Upon hearing Qianjie's distinctive voice, Kosmo's expression immediately turned sour.

Generally speaking, if Qianjie says something like this, it means he is preparing to unleash his power and cause widespread destruction.

He absolutely will not allow this to happen!

"Hide quickly!"

After saying this, Kosmo walked into the house.

His goal was simple: to protect Gretchen.

"Kosmo!"

At this moment, Greta also realized what was happening and ran into the house.

"Kosmo, what's wrong? Why won't you hide with me?"

Greta ran to the bedside and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"We can't hide together. I want to protect you and keep you safe!"

With that, he tucked Greta into bed and covered her with the blankets.

"No, I can hide by myself!"

Gretchen firmly refused.

"No, have you forgotten? We made a promise that if anything happens to us, you must obey my orders! So, I said I can't let you be in any danger!"

"I......"

Gretchen hesitated for a moment, but Kosmo's actions this time warmed her heart.

"You wait here and don't move!"

Kosmo instructed.

"Um."

Greta nodded obediently and watched Kosmo leave.

After Kosmo left, Gretchen immediately got out of bed, dressed, and ran to the window to look at the situation below.

Overall, the situation is not optimistic...

The once lush and green island has now been transformed into a sea of ​​fire.

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, a figure was wielding flames with unrestrained fury, slaughtering the monsters on the island. "That's Thousand Calamities..."

Gretsch exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

Although she was only looking at him from afar, she still recognized who he was—it was Qian Jie!

He actually killed so many monsters, what is he trying to do?

Gretchen didn't understand why Qianjie did this, but she knew that if she went out now, she would definitely be attacked.

But she couldn't just stand by and do nothing...

"I absolutely cannot let him destroy the island!"

With that thought in mind, Gretchen walked toward the door.

With a "bang," Gretchen opened the door and rushed downstairs.

"A Thousand Calamities! Stop!"

"stop!"

No sooner had Gretsch finished speaking than she found herself in a familiar embrace.

"Hi, Gretchen~ Did you miss me?"

The slightly playful tone quickly made Gretchen recognize the visitor's identity.

"Sister Alicia?"

"Hmm~ It's me."

Alicia smiled as she looked at the little girl.

What are you doing here?

Greta frowned and asked.

"I'm here to save you!"

As Alicia spoke, she reached out and poked Gretchen's little nose with her finger.

"Help...me? Help me?"

Gretchen was momentarily confused by Alicia's words. She knew what Alicia meant, but didn't know how to express her own thoughts.

After all, why use the name "Save"?

Could it be that Sister Alicia had a premonition that Qianjie would go berserk?

"Of course! How could I let you get into such trouble? I'm here to rescue you, aren't I? Don't worry, leave it to me. Just stay here and relax."

As Alicia spoke, she was about to rush inside when Gretsch saw this and quickly grabbed Alicia's arm.

"Sister Alicia, I don't need you to save me!"

"Oh, Gretchen~"

"no!"

Greta shook her head and said.

"Why not? I'm Gretsch's dear older sister! You're in danger now, how can you not tell me?"

"I was just worried you'd get hurt..."

As Gretchen spoke, she kept shaking Alicia's arm.

She truly didn't want Alicia to get hurt because of her...

After all, Alicia was one of her most important friends.

"Okay, okay, I promise I'll be more careful from now on!"

Seeing that Gretchen insisted, Alicia had no choice but to compromise.

She didn't want to put Gretchen in a difficult position...

That's more like it~

"Can you let me go now?"

"Okay... alright..."

As Gretchen spoke, she released Alicia's arm.

"You stay in the room for now, I'll go downstairs and check."

"Be careful..."

Greta gave him some words of advice with concern.

"Okay, don't worry~"

After saying that, Alicia walked towards the door.

Watching Alicia's departing figure, Gretchen felt a sense of unreality; she hadn't expected Qianjie to turn out this way...

But you can't blame him for that, after all, too many things happened that caught him off guard.

Sigh, I hope Brother Qianjie can go back to normal...

Gretchen silently prayed in her heart...

Then, she went to the window and found that Kosmo had already blocked Qianjie's way.
