Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 545 Weak, pitiful, and helpless

Qin Fu and the others suddenly lost their spirits.

Enough, I won't argue with a fool.

"Go ahead." They couldn't be bothered to argue with such a delusional kid, and they began to seriously observe their surroundings.

Xuanming put his hands behind his back, took a step in a pretentious manner, and walked cautiously into the depths of the corridor, making a clattering sound as he stepped on the dusty floor.

He wanted to prove his abilities to these women!

Everything was eerily quiet. The air was dry and slightly warm. Xuanming stared intently ahead. The corridor was winding and meandering. Although it stretched forward as a whole, for some reason, he walked for a long time but still couldn't reach the end.

Looking back, the women didn't follow; instead, as the distance increased, they became small black dots.

"Heh, you really have a strong sense of pride. You won't follow me now, but you'll cry when you suffer a loss." Xuanming shook his head and continued forward.

Behind him, the women's figures had disappeared, and he walked into the darkness.

The air becomes humid.

The sound of dripping water could be faintly heard.

Xuanming took out a luminous pearl, and immediately, the area within two meters around him was illuminated.

By the light of the luminous pearl, he saw that the murals on the corridor were still extending. Some water droplets mixed with dirt dripped from the top of the corridor, soiling the murals and making it even harder for him to see the contents.

But he didn't care; he was in a hurry to finish walking through the corridor.

As he walked, he kept a close eye on his surroundings. After all, it was an ancient relic, and he was worried that a terrible danger might suddenly appear inside.

But strangely, along the way, apart from the eerie silence and the changing humidity, the sound of dripping water in the darkness, and the pattering of footsteps on the ground, everything seemed to be nothingness.

The emotions that had been building up gradually calmed down.

His mind was unconsciously drawn away.

In the utter silence, fragments of past memories kept replaying in my mind.

Only in such moments, free from external interference, can a person shed all pretense and look directly into their own heart.

He was cunning, loved money, fame, all forms of luxury, and the admiration and envy of the world.

This is who he is.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his flaws; these flaws, his vanity, his concern for face—they made up the living, breathing person he was.

He is not a noble person, nor is he perfect. He has many emotions and fears, but he also has a pursuit he is willing to dedicate his entire life to, even at the cost of his life—to liberate the second heaven.

In his childhood, the Dragon God appeared to him in a dream, and he remembered everything in that dream clearly.

The majestic dragon god told him that the Star Clan had invaded, and the Second Heaven was in imminent danger. The true spark had been preserved on the subcontinent. He was instructed to protect the subcontinent when he grew up, and wait for the right time to awaken the dragon soul once the ruins were revealed.

Before this, the history of the Second Heaven was clearly written as—the subcontinent: a land rejected by the gods, a land of exile.

From that moment on, even as a child, he understood that the true history had been altered.

The second heaven has been infiltrated by a terrifying force.

From that moment on, the little boy set a lofty goal for himself.

With the Xuan family's abundant wealth, Xuan Ming, as the most dazzling genius in Xingyuan City, emerged out of nowhere and founded the Xingji Pavilion.

These scenes replayed in my mind, and all the hardships of building the Star Pavilion turned into sweetness at this moment.

Xuanming's gaze was intense. He resolutely lifted his foot and continued walking deeper into the corridor.

Success is within reach. Once he finds the Dragon Soul, his long-cherished wish will come true!

He has to succeed!

Xuanming took a deep breath and continued forward.

Little did he know that all his emotions and psychological changes were reflected on the dome of the corridor. Those emotions transformed into various interwoven light colors, which were slowly absorbed by the dome.

A line of simplified Chinese characters slowly appeared on the dome, the characters faint and barely visible.

So, this is human nature?

As Qin Youyou followed the grandparents of the Holy Light Knights, a puzzled mechanical voice suddenly echoed in her mind: "So, this is humanity?"

Qin Youyou was stunned.

Ok?

Human nature isn't just about truth, goodness, and beauty; it also includes joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—a complex tapestry of emotions... Ah, I think I understand a little bit now. This feeling of learning is wonderful; I want to know more!

Qin Youyou suddenly sensed that the system's voice seemed to have a bit of emotion.

She looked up at the long corridor that had suddenly appeared in front of her.

"We're finally in! Looks like this is the first checkpoint of the ruins. Let's go in!" the grandparents exclaimed excitedly.

There were hundreds of explorers around, all excitedly rushing toward the corridor.

In an instant, ninety percent of the people around him disappeared.

Of the hundreds, only a few dozen remain.

Qin Youyou looked around and saw that all the grandparents from the Holy Light Knights were there, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

People were reassigned.

It seems that this entrance is a fork in the road leading to different parallel time-space corridors.

And they were chosen by the corridor before them.

"Come on, let's go in."

Qin Youyou took a step.

"Great!" the grandparents exclaimed excitedly.

They followed Qin Youyou inside, and the first thing they noticed was the murals on both sides of the corridor.

"Oh dear, how did the beautiful mural get covered in dust?" Aunt Han Dujuan said regretfully.

"Why is it covered in dust?"

"It's covered in dust—"

The echo returned as expected.

Grandpa Zhang Baolin exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, there's even an echo! That's quite interesting!"

"That's quite interesting—"

"interesting--"

The elderly people were excited.

They love a lively atmosphere, and in no time, everyone held their hands up like megaphones: "Hey!"

"Hey--"

"Hey--"

"I, Zhang Baolin, will love Han Dujuan for the rest of my life!"

"I will love Han Dujuan for a lifetime—"

"Love Han Dujuan—"

"Oh, Baolin, you're so annoying."

"Baolin, you're so annoying—"

"Hate--"

For a moment, the echoes reverberated endlessly. Qin Youyou looked at these old rascals with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, shaking her head helplessly.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice rang out: "The game hasn't started yet..."

Qin Youyou was taken aback. Why did that voice sound so familiar?

Is the system speaking in my mind?

She pricked up her ears and listened.

"Ahem, the game hasn't even started yet..."

Wait a minute, that sound is coming from above the corridor! Unfortunately, the sound wasn't loud to begin with, and it was completely drowned out by the echoes of the grandparents' shouts, making it even harder to hear.

"The game hasn't started yet! Hey, stop shouting!" the mechanical voice cried out urgently.

"Hey, listen to my voice!"

Weak, pitiful and helpless.

It's not the grandparents' fault; it's just that the sound was too soft. The grandparents, whose hearing is already poor, couldn't hear it at all in this noise.

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Qin Youyou's forehead, and she quickly called out to the grandparents who were still shouting through the loudspeaker.

"Shh, students, calm down!"

Her voice was imbued with spiritual power, instantly reaching the ears of the grandparents who were still shouting incoherently.

They were taken aback. "What's wrong, flying stick?"

They were shouting happily.

"Shh!" Qin Youyou quickly winked.

At this moment, the mechanical sound finally rang out wearily.

"call……"

"You're making so much noise, you're disturbing the neighbors, do you know that?"
