Wei Yan to one side, her eyes calmly watching Nan Xunran and the ball of thread.
Seeing that Nan Xunran could touch the ball of thread, she remained calm, only slightly raising her eyebrows.
She thought to herself: Sure enough, only A-Ran can obtain this treasure.
The ball of yarn hesitated and lingered in place, entangled for a long time.
It floated up and down, seemingly making a difficult decision.
Then, it moved closer to Nan Xunran and whispered, "Fated one, come with me!"
Standing behind her, Xiao Xueyin's emotions exploded like a powder keg the moment the ball of yarn's words reached her ears.
Her eyes widened, her hands clenched into fists, and she shouted, "No!"
The ball of yarn jumped in surprise at the sudden shout, muttering angrily, "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Xiao Xueyin realized her loss of composure and quickly loosened her clenched fists.
She lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and said in a low voice again, "No."
The ball of yarn grew increasingly dissatisfied, huffing, "I haven't even acknowledged you as my master yet, and you're already giving me orders."
Immediately afterwards, it shone brightly and said aggressively, "I'm taking him away! What can you do about it?"
Meanwhile, the ball of yarn secretly thought to itself: This destined person is really annoying. How dare someone so weak point in me point fingers at me.
Xiao Xueyin's pretty face flushed red, one finger pointing at the ball of thread, her voice trembling slightly, "... You!"
The ball of thread remained unperturbed, its leisurely demeanor unchanged, completely unconcerned about Xiao Xueyin's anger.
It gently nuzzled against Nan Xunran's cheek. "Fated one, come with me."
Xiao Xueyin cried out in a shrill voice, out of control, "Me or him, who do you choose?!"
The ball of yarn seemed extremely impatient. It shook its body slightly and let out a soft scolding. "You're so annoying!"
Xiao Xueyin was stunned, unable to believe what she was hearing.
She pressed her lips together, and said incredulously, "Me, annoyed?"
Didn't you say I was your destined one?! Then why did you choose someone else?!
The ball of yarn said calmly, "Although you are my destined one, I don't like you. Is there anything wrong with that?"
It continued, "The person destined for me is strong and good-looking, so why can't I choose him?"
Although there was a slight resistance in her heart to the aura of the destined person, the feeling was so faint that she could easily suppress it.
At that moment, a soft laugh drifted through the air, instantly captivating everyone's attention.
The ball of yarn immediately noticed the change and shouted, "You're smiling, my destined one!"
At this moment, Nan Xunran's gaze turned to Xiao Xueyin, who was not far away.
Xiao Xueyin was staring at him with a venomous gaze, her eyes filled with anger.
Nan Xunran her gaze back to the ball of yarn and asked, "You don't like her?"
The ball of yarn was silent for a moment, then shifted its body and said, "... I don't like it."
Its voice carried a hint of helplessness. "But I can only be bound to the one destined for me; only in this way can I leave this place."
I don't want to be trapped in this wasteland, confined to this limited space.
Then, it lowered its voice and whispered, "You're destined to meet me, and perhaps we can even become bound together. That's why I want you to come along."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly. "Okay."
Upon hearing this, the ball of yarn bounced excitedly up and down, exclaiming joyfully, "You agreed!"
Nan Xunran replied, "Mm."
The ball of yarn immediately exclaimed, "Let's go!"
After saying that, it quickly turned its gaze to Xiao Xueyin, who was trying to protest.
The next instant, a burst of light appeared, and a dazzling beam of light streaked across the sky.
A thin thread shot out from the clump of threads and instantly wrapped around Xiao Xueyin's body.
Her mouth was firmly sealed shut, leaving her only able to make "woo-woo" sounds.
Xiao Xueyin turned red with anger, her eyes wide open as she glared at the ball of yarn.
The ball of thread remained unperturbed, spinning in mid-air, its light flashing once more, outlining the shape of a door in the air.
The outline of the door gradually became clearer, eventually solidifying and settling, with light flowing endlessly within it.
Then, without any mercy, the ball of yarn threw Xiao Xueyin inside the door.
Having done all this, it stopped at the doorway and said in a clear, melodious voice, "Come in, you who are destined to find this!"
Nan Xunran stepped inside.
The ball of thread looked at Wei Yan again, intending to warn her not to go in, but saw that she stood there quietly, showing no intention of moving.
It hesitated for a moment, then finally turned and flew into the doorway.
The next instant, the light flashed and vanished without a trace, and the wasteland returned to its former silence.
Inside the door
The door hung high in the air.
Suddenly, without warning, Xiao Xueyin plummeted from inside the door, falling at an extremely fast speed.
With a muffled thud, she crashed heavily to the ground.
