Inside the Gold and Silver Space, the blurry figure remained unmoved. To put it bluntly, she was just going through the motions; it wasn't as if she wanted things to be this way.

The middle-aged woman was somewhat annoyed by the questioning: "No! Is that good enough for you!"

Her answer caused the heart of Chen Biao to sink into the abyss.

"Who is he!"

Before Chen Biao could speak, the cold voice asked first.

Naturally, this was also what Chen Biao wanted to know.

"..." The middle-aged woman.

"Wang Ping."

The middle-aged woman slumped onto the ground, clearly having given up on trying to fix things, answering the questions mechanically.

"Pfft..." Chen Biao was so enraged that his heart felt pierced, and he actually spat out a mouthful of blood.

Who was Wang Ping? He was his sworn younger brother, a Soul Master, and also his neighbor.

When he was weak, he had helped Wang Ping, and after Wang Ping became strong, he had been very respectful toward him. He never expected this.

"Beast..."

You can know a person's face but not their heart... Chen Biao now just wanted to rush back and fight Wang Ping to the death!

Seeing Chen Biao like this, the middle-aged woman revealed a look of shame.

The next moment, the cold voice rang in Chen Biao's ear: "You have heard everything she said. Do you still love her now?"

"Love?" Chen Biao gave a mocking laugh, his expression instantly turning ferocious. "I want to kill her right now!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's body trembled.

"Will you not even consider the bond of your many years as husband and wife?" The cold voice asked a question that had no possibility of occurring.

It felt like it was trying to reconcile them...

"She is the one who betrayed me," Chen Biao gritted his teeth and said.

"Then do you love anyone else?"

Hearing the question, the middle-aged woman was slightly stunned.

Chen Biao was dazed for a moment, looking blank, before saying after a few seconds: "Yes..."

The middle-aged woman: "..."

Damn it! Since you cheated too, why the hell did you react so strongly? Were you trying to trick me into feeling guilty?

"Who is it?"

"Bei Yan..."

Damn! Bei Yan was her good friend... The middle-aged woman's mouth twitched.

"Then are you willing to die for each other?"

"No!" Chen Biao and the middle-aged woman said in unison.

The cold voice: "..."

"Your words are not false, but the Valley of Love and Emotion asks for true feelings. Betraying one's lover is what this valley hates most!"

"This valley is not unreasonable. You will enter an adventure; if you pass, you leave. If you don't, stay in the adventure forever!"

Chen Biao and the middle-aged woman's mouths twitched. Listening to that tone, how was that any different from death?

"Enter the adventure."

Gold and silver light fell upon Chen Biao and the woman.

"Wait, my lord, if I die, please tell my son that Wang Ping is his biological father, and let him go seek protection from his real dad..."

"Pfft..."

Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Chen Biao spat out another mouthful of blood. He had already had his son late in life, and he never expected... Damn it!

Immediately, the two of them vanished.

The cold voice: "..."

Following that, the cold voice seemed to have been angered, remaining silent for a long while.

When the golden light rotated again, it circled around and landed on the bubble containing Wang Xin'er.

A small circular platform rose, supporting the bubble.

Inside, Wang Xin'er was fast asleep, breathing evenly with a sweet smile on her lips, even murmuring in her sleep: "So comfortable..."

If Zheng Li heard this, who knows what kind of expression he would have.

The cold voice was speechless once again seeing Wang Xin'er's appearance. Is it very comfortable? Why didn't she feel that way about the bubble she created?

After the bubble shattered, revealing the lovely girl inside, a gentle golden light lifted Wang Xin'er, laying her flat on the small circular platform, and stroked her light cyan hair, intending to wake her up.

Who would have thought...

Wang Xin'er nudged the golden radiance and murmured:

"So comfortable! Mommy, touch me more~"

"..."

In the Gold and Silver Space, the figure shrouded in hazy light seemed to tremble. She was speechless; this little girl was far too carefree...

Also, who is your mommy!

In the transparent space, the soft golden radiance patted Wang Xin'er on the head this time.

Finally, Wang Xin'er opened her emerald eyes, rubbed them with her hands, and slowly sat up.

Her face was filled with confusion.

She didn't seem fully awake...

How long had it been? Was her sleep really that deep?

Regardless, the cold voice resumed its questioning, returning to a tone of calm.

"Do you have a lover?"

"A lover? What is a lover?" Wang Xin'er answered groggily.

The calm voice seemed much more patient this time, explaining: "It is the person you love."

"I do! I love my great-grandmother, my mommy, my grandma..."

The calm voice was choked up. What was she supposed to say to that?

"Stop. I am referring to a lover, the person you wish to be a partner with in the future."

"Oh... a person I want to be a partner with? I have one of those too!" Wang Xin'er replied, still somewhat dazed.

"Who is he?"

"He is... hmm?"

Wang Xin'er suddenly widened her eyes, turned her head to look around, and appeared puzzled.

"Where is this?"

The calm voice seemed to be choked up again. It was silent for a moment before saying: "The Valley of Love and Emotion. Answer the valley's questions; failure to answer three times results in death!"

Wang Xin'er furrowed her brows, recalling what had happened earlier. She remembered Zheng Li saying that one had to tell the truth, otherwise they would die.

The partner the voice just asked about—that would be the person she likes. So, who did she like?

Confusion reappeared in her emerald eyes.

"Who is it?"

Upon hearing this, the calm voice felt its composure crumbling.

You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

"Ask your own heart."

"My heart..." Wang Xin'er covered her chest, tilted her head in thought, and tentatively said: "Zheng... Li?"

As the little girl's voice faded, the small circular platform beneath Zheng Li rose, and the bubble shattered. The exchange between the calm voice and Wang Xin'er echoed in his ears.

This also meant the little girl had not lied.

"..."

He had thought it was his turn.

Seeing Zheng Li, the little girl Wang Xin'er waved at him across the distance between the small circular platforms, completely carefree.

"I believe you heard it too. What do you think?"

"What do I think? Are you asking if Wang Xin'er likes me? I have no opinion on that. She is a seven-year-old girl; at most, I view her as a younger sister."

Zheng Li answered calmly.

Xiao Nai, inside the Sea of Consciousness, expressed her approval.

Wang Xin'er, however, was not pleased upon hearing this. Her cheeks puffed up instantly, and she said huffily: "Zheng Li! I told you I'm not a little girl! And being a younger sister is fine, but what do you mean by 'at most'? Are you looking down on me?"

"Hmm..." Zheng Li rubbed his chin. "No."

He said "at most" because he felt their bond wasn't that deep yet, and there was also the factor of her being the great-granddaughter of his benefactor.

Wang Xin'er's anger subsided slightly, but she let out a cold snort.

Deep down, she was still a bit unhappy.

She had always assumed Zheng Li was her suitor, and since she had developed feelings for him and had now even voiced them, Zheng Li should have been very happy. She hadn't expected this at all!

One could not tell lies here, so what Zheng Li said must be the truth.

Seeing that Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er had finished arguing, the calm voice immediately rang out: "Wang Xin'er, you heard it all. Do you still love him now?"

Wang Xin'er raised an eyebrow and said: "Correction! I have feelings for him, but it hasn't reached the level of love. Besides, how could feelings disappear so easily?"

"...Why?"

"The reason... is very simple." Wang Xin'er glanced at Zheng Li, and for some reason, her cold tone softened: "Because during this kidnapping, he gave me his meager portion of food, and I know he only ate a tiny bit himself; when it was cold, he gave me his own clothes; and also... he lent me his shoulder to lean on?"

Xiao Nai: "..."

That's it? Little girl, aren't you a bit too easy to move?

Why was the last sentence a question? The calm voice seemed too weary to argue, directly asking the next question, this time addressing both Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er.

"Are you willing to die for each other?"

"No!" x2

Zheng Li and Wang Xin'er said in unison.

"Why?"

There was some surprise in the calm voice.

"Our bond hasn't reached that point yet."

Zheng Li answered first.

"Same here."

This time, Wang Xin'er didn't have any temper; she and Zheng Li were thinking along the same lines. Besides, she was only seven years old and hadn't lived enough yet!

"A hazy love; I hope next time you can clearly recognize the feelings in your heart and find your true love. First round, Sincerity, passed," the calm voice critiqued.

Immediately, without waiting for Wang Xin'er to say anything else, a bubble wrapped around her again, and her small circular platform descended.

However, back inside the bubble, Wang Xin'er rolled her eyes and said: "Next time? I'm never coming back to this ghost of a place!"

"Did the little girl pass?"

Watching the descending platform, Zheng Li muttered to himself.
