Even Jiang Nan hadn't expected to actually get himself stuck like this!
It still wasn't perfect. Next time, he could use Snake Biscuit's petrifying shed skin to pull it off!
In high spirits, Jiang Nan beamed at Chen Daoyi!
"Senior Chen! I have to say, your performance this time was incredible. It was absolutely flawless!"
"That Bose Particle from the Sacred Star was scared off. You deserve most of the credit!"
Chen Daoyi stood there, blinking in confusion. Was the act over already?

But looking at his ragged clothes and bloodied state, well... the act must be over, right?
(◞︶ʖ̫︶) "Th-then, what do you think? I'm an old hand. Of course I can pull off a performance like that!"
Jiang Nan smiled and patted Chen Daoyi on the shoulder!

"Whew—why does it feel like it's on fire?"
Jiang Nan's smile froze, and his eyes began to dart away!
(◔ㅂ◔ิ๑‧̣̥̇) "Ahaha~ Ahahaha~ Don't think about it. The more you dwell on the pain, the worse it gets. Don't worry about the little details!"
Chen Daoyi: ???

Just then, Jiang Ning suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Nan, her eyes rimmed with red.
Jiang Nan froze. "Sister Ningning? What—"
Before he could finish, Jiang Ning threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
As if she were afraid that if she let go, she'd lose him the very next
