Chapter 523

"Hmm, it's much better."

"The feeling of the soul will be directly conveyed to the other person; if you are in a relaxed mood, they will also say so."

"Phew..." Chen Fan let out a breath, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "That's good now."

Chapter Ninety-Three: The Mind Space (Fifth Update)

(Chapter 93 The Mind Space)

Chen Fan put the somewhat strange-looking headgear on his head, and the device lit up.

Soon Chen Fan felt himself falling into a void;

Both Long Gui and Orihime Inoue were immersed in their own worlds, recalling their past experiences. Just as the device lit up, their souls collided, and they opened their eyes simultaneously to find each other standing right in front of them. Beneath their feet was a green meadow, the sun shone brightly in the sky, and fluffy white clouds floated on the horizon. A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of earth and flowers, and in the distance, various strangely shaped animals grazed. If there was no mistake, this space was Orihime Inoue's masterpiece.

Although the collision was brief, both Orihime Inoue and Long Gui subtly sensed each other's thoughts. While everyone would feel uncomfortable with such a direct and naked display of one's inner thoughts, there was another kind of feeling: a growing sense of closeness. It was as if they could reveal all their secrets without hesitation, gaining someone who truly understood them—a wonderful feeling.

Long Gui and Orihime Inoue exchanged a glance and smiled slightly. They were already good friends, and now they were even Mukken.

This feeling reminded Long Gui of the time he and Chen Fan were doing that kind of thing together. Almost as soon as Long Gui thought of it, Orihime Inoue's face turned red. She hadn't expected Long Gui to suddenly think of that kind of thing.

"Long Gui, how could you... don't... don't think about those embarrassing things!" Orihime Inoue blushed and waved her hands in protest as she shouted at Long Gui.

Orihime Inoue's feelings also reached Long Gui's mind. She found it quite interesting and started thinking about it more. Orihime Inoue's face turned even redder, and she finally covered her face.

"Ah... Inoue is so cute. Ah." Long Gui said with a mischievous grin as he approached Orihime Inoue.

"Isn't it your fault? How could you... how could you..."

"What a waste of such a beautiful pair of breasts... It's really a shame." Long Gui came up behind Orihime Inoue and kneaded them with his hands. "It's so enviable!"

"What is this? This is an unscientific structure."

"No! Long Gui- kun..."

Long Gui and Orihime Inoue were playing around when Long Gui suddenly remembered how they had gotten there. Just as Long Gui was thinking about this, Orihime Inoue also realized it, and the two of them were startled at the same time, trying hard to recall what had happened earlier.

The scenery around them suddenly changed. What had been a bright, sunny day with a lush green meadow where the grass grew wildly, eventually becoming towering trees...

Suddenly, large dark clouds flew in and covered the sky;

"Boom...! Crack...!" C-Cheng

A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and struck a large tree in the forest, instantly igniting it into a raging fire that quickly spread throughout the entire forest.

"Run! We can't be surrounded by fire!" Gui grabbed Orihime Inoue's hand and ran towards the edge of the forest, but the two of them were no match for the speed of the fire. Soon, the fire surrounded them and closed in on them.

Long Gui and Orihime Inoue stared in terror at the scene before them. Were they going to die here? She didn't want to die; she wanted to stay by Chen Fan's side. She still missed the warmth of Chen Fan's embrace. Why had fate brought them happiness so quickly? She finally remembered what had happened to her and Orihime Inoue's house earlier.

She was filled with resentment. She seemed to be hiding in Chen Fan's arms, unwilling to face the fear of death, and even more unwilling to face separation from Chen Fan. Long Gui's feelings completely reached Orihime Inoue's heart. Orihime Inoue suddenly felt a pang of jealousy towards Long Gui. Long Gui had someone she loved deeply, and that person loved her in return. But what about herself? If she died, who would feel pain? Ichigo Kurosaki? Or Chen Fan? Suddenly, a name Chen Fan appeared in her heart—that kind-looking older brother, the one who patiently listened to her talk. Even though everyone else thought she was being long-winded, talking about trivial things, Chen Fan listened patiently, occasionally even engaging her in conversation about her topics. Chen Fan made her feel truly comfortable.

"Chen Fan...!!" Long Gui shouted loudly. She didn't expect Chen Fan to suddenly appear here, but she hoped that her feelings could be conveyed to Chen Fan. Her relationship with Chen Fan was not so simple; she truly liked Chen Fan.

Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared from the flames that were about to reach them. The two instinctively grasped them, and then the hands exerted a slight force, pulling them closer.

The two found themselves in a dark space and couldn't help but look at the owner of those hands;

"Chen Fan!"
