Even He Laughed

Seeing Lin Jun's serious expression, Ling Xi gave a bitter smile, then said:

"This isn't a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else. I'll tell you everything."

Lin Jun stared at Ling Xi again before slowly nodding.

As he left, Lin Jun looked up once more at the pitch-black black hole in the sky. It had done nothing even after Su Ming's and Wulie's bodies had vanished, as though it really were nothing more than a decoration hanging there.

For the moment, Lin Jun had no idea what he should do, so he lowered his head and followed Ling Xi away.

They did not go far, merely finding somewhere that looked reasonably quiet.

Fortunately, this place had escaped the earlier battle, and everything still looked passable.

Standing on the hilltop, Lin Jun gazed at the dried-up Desolate Sea in the distance and thought back over everything that had happened.

Ling Xi continued speaking.
