Wanjie Game Hall, I sent Kiana to Silent Hill

Also, today is Christmas in the West, and also the day of victory in the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in my country. I personally don't celebrate Christmas, but considering that some of my fellow readers enjoy a festive occasion, let me first remember our volunteer army veterans, and then wish my fellow readers a happy holiday.

Volume 300: : March Immortal, Well-Deserved Name

Another peaceful night.

It's a good thing for a girl who has tasted the sweetness of sex to adjust herself a little, otherwise it's not a good thing to always ask for it without restraint. The night is so short, and if one person uses it for too long, it is inevitable that he will collide with others.

Besides, it has already been considered a collision, but some people just know it tacitly.

This time, Wang Xuanqiao arrived at the Yichen Inn a little earlier. As expected, Kiana was still soundly asleep. On the table in her room lay a terminal from Tianming and several notebooks. It seemed she had been studying very hard last night.

As for why it should be? Of course, it's because when it comes to studying, Wang Xuanqiao, who was always distracted in class, knew very well that some people were just putting on a good show, but in reality, their heads were empty and they didn't learn anything.

Many students have had this experience to some extent.

Wang Xuanqiao sat down beside Qiyana's bed, gently wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth with his thumb, and then spread it along the edge of the bed.

Anyway, the hotel's bed sheets are changed every day, so just wipe them.

Kiana, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to feel something. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a few murmurs came out of her throat. Suddenly, she let out a few silly laughs. No one knew what kind of strange dream she had.

"Mei..."

Wang Xuanqiao felt that he should now exercise the moral principle of not listening to anything inappropriate.

"The manager is here with me..."

Well, I'm the person involved. Wang Xuanqiao, who wanted to get up, suppressed his smile and stayed where he was.

"Hey...Hey...Mei, don't go..."

What the hell? Did this suddenly break things off? Wang Xuanqiao was genuinely curious, but he was completely clueless about the ability to spy on other people's dreams. If he tried to figure it out on his own, he'd either miss the exciting part or get caught.

Forget it, just listen to the talking in the sleep, it’s just a dream anyway.

"Mei...can we...take turns..."

...Luckily I didn't see it. Wang Xuanqiao couldn't help but hold his forehead.

The world is really going downhill and morals are declining!

However, Kiana's biological clock finally kicked in a bit. Of course, it wasn't about someone sitting by her bed and listening to her sleep talk, but rather that if she didn't get up, she'd have to rush out again like she did yesterday.

"Hmm..." Kiana's eyelashes trembled slightly again, and after a while they slowly opened.

She looked up at the ceiling with sleepy eyes. Her white jade-like arm, which had long since emerged from the quilt, slowly stretched towards the head of the bed, where her portable mobile terminal was placed.

"What time is it..." Kiana muttered to herself while looking at the ceiling of the bed, her hand still groping for the terminal at the head of the bed.

"If we get up now, we should be able to catch breakfast." Wang Xuanqiao replied with a smile.

"Ah!?" Kiana suddenly found someone sitting beside the bed, and subconsciously raised her leg to kick over, but Wang Xuanqiao raised his hand and grabbed her ankle, pressed her leg back without any effort, and then let go.

Only then did Kiana see clearly that the person beside the bed was Wang Xuanqiao, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hate it, you scared me to death, manager!" Kiana climbed up from the bed and punched Wang Xuanqiao with her fist.

"No one else but me would be able to sit down beside your bed quietly." Wang Xuanqiao smiled. "Hurry up and get up. Do you want me to braid your hair today?"

"Hey, manager, do you know how to do this?" Kiana blinked, then rolled over and got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Wang Xuanqiao wasn't exactly an expert; he'd never done a hairdo as difficult as a pigtail for a girl before. But he'd seen a double pigtail done, and after simulating it in his head, he knew exactly how to do it.

After helping Kiana finish washing up and tidying up, she seemed to have really returned to her youthful days and walked out the door with a smile on her face, holding Wang Xuanqiao's arm.

Bianca had just finished her shower and was coming out. Seeing Kiana and Wang Xuanqiao walking together, her eyes couldn't help but linger on Wang Xuanqiao for a while.

Li Sushang and the train crew then left the room one after another. Sanyueqi looked energetic, Danheng was no different from before, and as for Xing, while his body was awake, his spirit seemed to remain still.

"Huh, it's so early today?" March Seven was a little surprised. Due to her elimination in the first round, she had changed back into her original costume and officially retired from the identity of the Peach Blossom Twin Swords heroine.

"Today is the second round of promotion. The overall quality of the competition will be significantly improved compared to yesterday." Dan Heng said something that seemed irrelevant.

"Ah? What does this have to do with everyone getting up early?" March 7 asked him.

"Of course it's because if you don't get up early, you won't be able to grab a seat like yesterday." Wang Xuanqiao understood Dan Heng's implication. As someone who hangs out with the Starry Sky Train, there is of course a reserved and sultry side behind the cold face of the cold-faced Little Green Dragon.

"Uh, I don't quite understand. Anyway, we have to get to the stadium early, right?" Sanyue Qixu said, raising his eyes. "Then let's go have breakfast quickly. Let's have that hot soda bean juice with lotus root cake that you mentioned, Danheng."

Xing, who was yawning in the back, woke up in an instant.

"Oh! Luca seems to be still waiting for me on the Jingfeng ship. I'll leave first!" She ran away and no one could stop her.

"I didn't expect Xing to be so hardworking. We can't lose, right? Let's go!" Wang Xuanqiao pulled Kiana and Bianca and ran away.

Dan Heng watched the two groups of people slip away one after another, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he quickly returned to his calm and composed state. He turned his head to look at Li Suchang, who was unaware of the truth, and San Yueqi, who didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

"March, let's just keep it simple today," he said. "Let's save the authentic Luofu breakfast for after the game."

"Hey, Teacher Danheng, are you organizing a party? That's really rare." March 7 felt it was new and couldn't help laughing.

"Aqi, if we keep talking, we will miss the Star Chariot." Li Suchang reminded.

The remaining three people hurriedly left the inn and took the Star Raft to the Jingfeng ship.

As Dan Heng had said, the quality of matches at the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony had noticeably improved after yesterday's preliminary round. However, the preliminary round wasn't over yet; there were still players who hadn't had time to compete yesterday, and they were still going through the first round. This martial arts competition, launched from the Immortal Ship to the entire universe, was so massive that even if the Jingfeng ship were operating non-stop, it wouldn't be possible to complete all the matches in a single day.

However, this has nothing to do with the Fish and Cat Team of Zongheng Xinghai.

Wang Xuanqiao accompanied the two sisters to complete the points competition, and then successfully met Yun Li in the second round of qualifying.

The name of March Immortal is well-deserved.

After both sides walked onto the field, Yun Li looked at Kiana and Bianca, and his expression gradually became subtle.

"How should I put it? I suddenly understood what was said in yesterday's group chat." Yun Li couldn't help but complain, "So is Sanyue's mouth really blessed?"

"Why not call him March the Great Immortal?" Kiana laughed dryly.

"Anyway, I have my reasons for not losing here. Let's decide who advances based on... skill!"

Yun Li finally left some room for herself. She didn't say she would rely on her strength, but only on her skills.

As the referee gave the signal to start the match, Yun Li, carrying a heavy sword, strode towards the two sisters.

With Bianca unarmed and relying solely on Kiana's bat, Yunli's dance with the epee did cause some distress to the sisters. The commentator also began loudly praising the art of epee, subtly revealing his sexual proclivities.

The heavy sword's defense was truly impenetrable, a stark contrast to March Seven's initial use of flying swords to create opportunities for others. For a moment, Kiana and Bianca were completely helpless against Yun Li. Not only could they not attack her, but she would also take advantage of the situation and counterattack.

Wang Xuanqiao watched from the side, trying hard not to remind the two sisters how to pierce the turtle shell.

After all, the sisters came to participate in the competition to have fun, otherwise they wouldn't impose so many restrictions on themselves. If you give them a hint at this time, it will somewhat ruin their fun.

Fortunately, Bianca and Kiana quickly found a way to break through Yunli's epee's momentum, leveraging their tacit coordination. They passed the bat back and forth across the court, before Bianca's jab disrupted Yunli's stride, and Kiana's kick to the broad back of the epee completely dispelled Yunli's defense.

The heavy sword's momentum was broken, and Yun Li's defeat was inevitable. The Fish-Cat combination of Zongheng Xinghai successfully emerged victorious in the second round of the promotion competition!

Meanwhile, Luca, led by Xing, suffered a setback. He was defeated by the sea patrolman Poteo, a man who had a past relationship with the train crew at Pinocchio.

Silly goose, look quickly, it will probably fail.jpg

Volume 301: : Why do people live and why do they strive?

Luka looked a bit heartbroken when he came off the court.

He had lost all confidence, given up on himself, doubted and belittled himself, and was almost ready to throw his pride into the ground and trample on it. Xing couldn't come up with a good idea for the time being, so he could only think of someone who could give Luca a wake-up call at this time.

After such a long period of coaching, Xing had noticed that Luca still seemed to be holding a knot. Perhaps it was the unfamiliarity of stepping out of his homeland and onto the Galaxy stage for the first time, or perhaps it was the weight of the mission he shouldered...

In short, Xing felt like she was at her wit's end. Trash-talking her opponents was fine, but seriously trying to heal someone's mental health was a bit much. She couldn't just use physical amnesia treatment and knock Luca unconscious with a baseball bat, could she?

So Wang Xuanqiao was brought here by Xingyao.

Wang Xuanqiao was a bit puzzled. Shouldn't this be the time for Huo Huo and Tail Da Ye to appear? Why did the task of curing illnesses and saving lives fall on him?

But he quickly understood the reason. This change likely stemmed from some low-class person being kicked out of the match early. Otherwise, according to the original schedule, Luca wouldn't have been able to face Poteo at this point, but rather had been interrupted by a low-class person midway through.

In that case, let's take a look. Wang Xuanqiao brought Kiana and the others to Luca's lounge.

At this time, Luca was no longer his former cheerful and outgoing self. He was so depressed that he looked like a poor wretch who was consumed by internal friction. He was just squatting in a corner muttering to himself, "I'm so stupid, so stupid."

"How did it become like this?" Kiana looked at Luca and felt that he looked strangely familiar.

"I heard that he encountered a very ruthless opponent, a star-level wanted criminal, who was ready to fight for his life." Bianca said, recalling the rumors she heard on the road.

"Hey, this is a bit too much. It's just a competition, why do you have to risk your life?" Kiana opened her eyes wide.

"It's just a match. Risking one's life is indeed excessive. But this is the Xingtian Martial Arts Ceremony. All the competitions are actually to select the strongest person to challenge the Luofu Immortal Boat's champion."

Wang Xuanqiao patted Kiana's shoulder gently and said.

"Ultimately, this isn't a fair sport. So, with lives on the line, some people might be hesitant to act. This is a psychological tactic, and it can easily break down the defenses of those with a half-hearted mindset."

"Alas. Although there are referees watching over the match, fighting is inherently dangerous, and the threat of life and death is real."

Bianca sighed and shook her head as well.

“So I’m really a half-baked loser.” Luca became even more depressed.

"Manager, are you trying to cure your breakdown?" Xing couldn't help scratching his head. "Why do I feel like you've stabbed Luca again?"

"Don't panic, this is also part of the plan." Wang Xuanqiao coughed lightly and said.

"Really? Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? Just wait and see." Wang Xuanqiao walked towards Luca without saying anything. Suddenly, he raised his hand and flicked him lightly on the forehead. Luca instantly collapsed to the ground as if he had been anesthetized.

This scared everyone, especially the camera lady Ka Meili, who wailed and threw herself on Luca like a mourner.

Only Bianca suddenly remembered that in the Black Myth, the Great Sage had stabbed her out of her body as the Destiny Man with a stick.

Could it be that......

Just as Bianca had guessed, Luca's soul had left his body. Wang Xuanqiao ejected his soul directly from his body, tied a rope around it, and gently tossed it into the boundless universe.

Luca's soul was rushing out of the Luofu Immortal Boat at an incomprehensible speed, out of this galaxy, and even out of the material universe.

And when he reached the top of the rope with a loud shout in the form of a soul, Wang Xuanqiao pulled him back from that indescribable area in an instant.

The body lying on the ground came back to life, screamed and jumped up from the ground, almost knocking over Ka Meili who was pounced on him.

"What did you see?" Wang Xuanqiao crossed his arms and asked Luca, who was still in shock.

Luca gasped for breath and held his forehead with his uninjured arm.

"...Luofu, the stars...and the universe, and...a place that is pitch black and I don't know what it is." He answered haltingly while panting and pausing.

"How do you feel about those things?" Wang Xuanqiao asked again.

"I don't know." Luca held his forehead and shook his head. "If I had to say, everything seemed so huge. Especially when a star was about to hit me in the face, it felt like time had stopped..."

"What were your thoughts when you arrived at that pitch-black place?"

This time, Luca didn't answer directly. He calmed down and thought carefully for a while before finally giving an answer.

"Nothing's gone... The stars, the sun, the universe, nothing." Luca whispered. "Mr. Manager, is this what it looks like when everything disappears?"

"No." Wang Xuanqiao smiled. "That's the state of things before they were born."

Luca listened thoughtfully, while the others were completely bewildered. Xing looked from Luca to Wang Xuanqiao, realizing neither of them could offer any clues. Then, he looked at Kiana and realized she wasn't much smarter than him.

Bianca was the only one who seemed to have thought of something.

Xing quickly came over and whispered to Bianca what was going on. Seeing that her sister seemed to understand, Kiana also came over immediately.

Wang Xuanqiao continued to treat Luca's mental illness.

"Before the creation of all things, the world was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Just like when a person is born into the world, before he opens his eyes, the world is empty, only void; but after he opens his eyes, the world is full of life and all things come to life."
