What's Wrong with a Happy Dream?
The ultimate speed and instantaneous movement were competing at this moment, but no one noticed, except the audience, that as Xiaobai made eye contact with Mary more and more often, Xiao Bai body trembled less and less.
She is gradually overcoming her physical fears!
(Holy crap! That part was so awesome!)
(The budget is exploding! The budget is exploding!)
(Xiao Bai is really strong! Not just in terms of strength, but also in terms of willpower. How could he overcome the fear from the magical realm so quickly?)
(Otherwise, why would they be so popular now?)
The battle between Xiao Bai and Mary is a long, uninterrupted shot.
Whether it was the light and shadow, the surrounding magical particles, or the magical collision between the two, everything was elevated to its extreme.
The five-minute fight, with a full thirty-second long take, was truly thrilling to watch.
With the background music perfectly tailored for Xiao Bai, this scene is definitely worth cutting out and watching repeatedly.
Just like the final battle in the first season.
Even from an outsider's perspective, Fang Ming thought Xiao Bai was incredibly handsome.
He wasn't surprised that he was able to overcome his fear. After all, if 'Fear Resistance' is considered a skill, Xiao Bai has probably gained quite a few experience points now.
"Hehe--"
Mary was still laughing, but Xiao Bai started laughing too.
After the long shot, the camera focuses on Xiao Bai again. In the close-up of Xiao Bai, the corners of Xiao Bai's mouth turn up, and he suddenly looks up, meeting Mary's gaze without fear.
Mary: "!"
Xiao Bai's sudden eye contact and the smile that appeared on his lips made Mary's laughter stop.
But before Mary could react, Xiao Bai spun its scythe and flew towards Song Niandong again!
A silver streak appeared near Song Niandong, and Mary instinctively went to Xiao Bai's side.
However--
Tear!!
A long-handled scythe appeared precisely where Mary had materialized out of thin air, as if it had been pre-arranged. The scythe and Mary appeared simultaneously, and then the scythe tore Mary's body apart!
"Snort."
Seeing the scythe tearing through Mary, Xiao Bai snorted coldly, swung the scythe, and turned his body.
The scythe drew a thin silver line through the air, cleaving Mary's body in two. When the Xiao Bai scythe stopped, the Doll Mary had been divided into four pieces by Xiao Bai two scythes!
"Mary ... wants to... play..."
After uttering her final words, the broken Mary completely lost her vitality.
Having witnessed the entire process, Youyou gained a deeper understanding of Xiao Bai's strength once again.
Although this guy couldn't activate his Shining Form, his power alone is enough to rival any of Dongdong's 'friends'!
"Dongdong--! Let Nicole handle this!"
Youyou called out to Song Niandong.
Song Niandong flipped through the magic book, and Nicole's figure stood in front of him, raising her wand towards Xiao Bai.
After eliminating Mary, Xiao Bai did not immediately attack Song Niandong and Youyou. Instead, she looked up at Song Niandong and asked:
Is it worth it?
"Huh?"
"Disappointing your friends, disappointing your brother, disappointing your teachers... is it worth it to move forward with that black rabbit towards a future where there is no light?!"
Xiao Bai stood on the farthest piece of building debris and asked Dongdong a question.
Upon hearing this, Song Niandong lowered her head, the large wizard's hat once again obscuring her eyes.
"... I... have no friends."
"Aren't Yu Muqiu, Chen Xiaoxia, Murong Xiaochun your friends?!"
"!"
"Don't you consider them your friends?!"
Xiao Bai questioned him again in a stern voice.
As Xiao Bai asked the question, fragments of memories of being with the group flashed through Song Niandong's mind—those joyful, happy, and ordinary days that had unknowingly left a large place in her heart.
Song Niandong hesitated because of these feelings. She nervously gripped her wizard's hat with her left hand and continued to cover herself with it. Her hand seemed to be trembling slightly.
But at that very moment, Youyou said to her:
"It was all worth it, Dongdong."
Song Niandong's hands stopped trembling.
Youyou continued, "As long as the plan succeeds, everyone will understand you, everyone will thank you, and this world... will become incredibly happy because of your existence! So it will all be worth it!"
Song Niandong loosened his grip on the brim of his hat.
Seeing this, Xiao Bai understood everything. She gripped the chain wrapped around the handle of her scythe and sighed:
"... It seems there's no point in negotiating, so... we'll just defeat you first!"
Splash--
The clanging of countless chains echoed all around.
At the same time, the sound of countless split-up floating structures rapidly converging in this direction could also be heard!
Upon hearing these sounds, Youyou's eyes widened, and she suddenly looked up to see what was happening around her.
Then Youyou saw the chains behind these floating structures—countless chains that held together the numerous separate buildings within the barrier, forming an enormous cage!
And at this very moment, this cage is approaching them!
They have nowhere to escape!
Chapter 154 What's wrong with a dream of happiness?
As the cage draws near, the battle between Song Niandong and Xiao Bai is about to erupt.
At this crucial moment, as Xiao Bai charges forward again, the scene suddenly shifts to Xiao Chun in the dream.
While the outside world was engulfed in chaos, in her dream, Xiao Chun, surrounded by a pink aura, rode a Ferris wheel in a city with Fang Ming.
This Ferris wheel, known as the "Eye of the City," is a popular spot for couples to take photos. Xiao Chun had wanted to come here for a long time, with her Fang Ming.
Now, Xiao Chun's wish has finally come true. Together with her Fang Ming, they boarded the Ferris wheel, which they had booked in advance, with ice cream they had prepared beforehand, and enjoyed a rare moment of peace and quiet for the two of them.
As she watched the ground recede into the distance and the city nightscape gradually come into view, Xiao Chun felt that something was amiss.
She always had a peculiar sense of unease, which reached its peak after she and Fang Ming rode the Ferris wheel.
Xiao Chun turned to look at Fang Ming was sitting opposite her. Looking at his face, from his brow to his lips, her gaze was unfocused, as if she were thinking about something.
Suddenly she said to Fang Ming:
"Brother Fang Ming, have we... kissed?"
"Of course," Fang Ming said with a smile. "Didn't our relationship begin with a kiss the very day we confirmed it?"
"Ah... you're right..."
A vague memory surfaced in Xiao Chun's mind, and she realized that it seemed to be true.
Her relationship with Fang Ming began with a kiss, and Xiao Chun should remember that kiss.
But she couldn't recall the details of what happened back then.
Looking at Fang Ming's lips, Xiao Chun blushed and said to Fang Ming:
"Then... can you kiss me one more time, Brother Fang Ming?"
"Sure."
Fang Ming answered without hesitation.
Xiao Chun's heart skipped a beat.
The sense of unease intensified.
(Why did the scene change?! I want to see Xiao Bai and Dongdong fighting!!)
(Why are there bloodthirsty spectators everywhere?!)
(Laughing so hard, Xiao Bai's side: The battle is so satisfying! Xiao Chun's side: Today is another beautiful day of romance with Brother Fang Ming www)
(The contrast is really obvious www)
(Xiao Chun, no! Meow!!)
The kiss between Xiao Chun and Fang Ming caused viewers to groan in despair.
Not only did the audience below cry out in grief, but Xiao Chun herself also cried out in grief.
She crouched on the ground, clutching her head and wailing, "No! My other self! Don't just give your first kiss to another person! Not even in a dream!!"
Xiao Chun wants to give her first kiss to Fang Ming.
Although, in theory, Xiao Chun's first kiss had already disappeared when Fang Ming gave her artificial respiration.
But in Xiao Chun's opinion, that time didn't count at all!
Artificial respiration doesn't count as kissing; it's for saving lives. So, rounding up, Xiao Chun's first kiss is still intact!
Xiao Chun is in so much Pain precisely because she still has her first kiss.
She really didn't want to give her first kiss to anyone other than Fang Ming, not even Fang Ming in her dreams!
After all, this dream is visible to everyone in the world, not just Xiao Chun's private dream. She wants to maintain her purity in front of Fang Ming.
So--
Xiao Chun! Wake up! Don't kiss me!!!
The distance between their lips and teeth grew closer and closer, and music seemed to play in their dream. Petal patterns, symbolizing happiness, scattered around them, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.
As the Ferris wheel reached its highest point and fireworks lit up the night sky, Xiao Chun, whose lips were only a small distance from Fang Ming's, suddenly stopped.
"Wrong."
She spoke softly, putting some distance between herself and Fang Ming, looking at Fang Ming with a complicated and confused expression. "... It shouldn't be like this..."
"Xiao Chun? What's wrong?"
Fang Ming looked at Xiao Chun with a puzzled expression. He raised his hand to hug Xiao Chun, but she dodged him.
Xiao Chun distanced herself from Fang Ming, saying:
"It shouldn't be like this."
"What should it be like?"
"I don't know..."
But Fang Ming is definitely not such a casual person.
The unease in Xiao Chun's heart brought her back to some senses. Looking at Fang Ming in front of her, she muttered to herself:
"But Brother Fang Ming wouldn't do that. He wouldn't kiss me. I know that. In his heart, I've always been a child. He could never do something like that to me."
Fang Ming in front of him, remained silent.
He looked at Xiao Chun in silence, then suddenly asked, "Isn't this better?"
"?" Xiao Chun looked up blankly.
Fang Ming smiled, a smile filled with love and tenderness for Xiao Chun, and softly repeated the question:
"Wouldn't it be better to stay together with me in this world, date, get married, build a family, and finally grow old together and be buried together...?"
"That's... good."
Xiao Chun bit her lip lightly, then suddenly looked up and said, "But that's not right, it's just... just my imagination..."
That's right, it was all just Xiao Chun's own fantasy.
