The sky was dark, and the stars were scattered, like pairs of prying eyes.

Xie Ziyou paced back and forth in the lonely ancient city. His fingertips brushed across the mottled city walls and hooked a touch of wet and cold moss. The faint moonlight sprinkled behind him, casting a layer of cold halo on his long black hair that was like a waterfall.

The young man's eyes were in a trance, and his footsteps were staggering. There seemed to be something pointing at him and whispering in the void.

"Look, it's the host who squandered all his points."

"I saw it. It's so tragic. Hehe."

"Shh, don't talk nonsense. He did it to save someone. He was righteous and brave … Hahaha, I can't lie anymore. How can there be such idiots nowadays who spend all their points for irrelevant people?"

Xie Ziyou stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists.

"Shut up," he thought angrily. "I was willing to spend my points to save someone. What does that have to do with you?"

As soon as he thought this, the scene in front of Xie Ziyou changed abruptly.

The bright sun shone down on him, and he stood in a peach blossom forest. The falling petals were in full profusion, and the clear rain continued to fall. The brilliance spread all over the mountains and plains, and the peach blossoms dyed his sleeves red.

Xie Ziyou stood in a daze. A handsome young man stood in front of him with a smile and handed him an exquisitely embroidered oil paper umbrella.

Xie Ziyou subconsciously raised his hand to take the umbrella.

Xie Heng did not let go of the umbrella. Instead, he turned his palm over and cleverly pulled it back, clasping Xie Ziyou's hand in his palm.

The petals fluttered behind Xie Heng, and the rain fell, wetting the young man's hair. His clear eyes were partly smiling, partly gentle, and partly expectant. His thin lips parted slightly, and he said softly, "You, are you willing to marry me?"

The warmth flowed from Xie Heng's broad palm to Xie Ziyou's heart, warming his slightly cold fingertips.

"I'm willing," Xie Ziyou thought. A string of fine pink bubbles floated in his heart. Of course, he was willing.

The spring rain continued. Under the same oil paper umbrella, the slender figure quietly moved closer to each other.

His breathing gradually quickened, and the white steam he exhaled intertwined and blended into the cool breeze. Just as his lips were about to touch —

A sharp voice suddenly rang out, shouting, "No, you can't be together!"

The peach blossom forest was like a huge bubble that was suddenly punctured. Xie Ziyou's arms were empty. He opened his eyes in a daze and realized that he was still wandering alone on the city wall. The cold wind was chilly and the cold moon was lonely. The coldness of the stone steps under his feet seeped into his shoes and socks, freezing his toes.

Xie Ziyou felt a surge of anger for no reason. She raised her head and shouted, "Why can't we be together?"

The stars suddenly scattered, and dark clouds covered the sky. Noisy voices laughed and chattered, "You don't have any points."

"Without points, how can I exchange for the follow-up time?"

"Without points, what's the point of being together?"

"Hahahaha, I'm afraid he's looking forward to another system bug!"

"Wishful thinking, shame shame shame shame!"

Xie Ziyou froze on the spot.

The cold wind swept over the desolate wilderness from the steep hillside, climbed up the mottled city wall, passed through the battlements, and rolled up Xie Ziyou's fluttering clothes.

The cold wind suddenly became stronger. Xie Ziyou's black hair was lifted by the wind and suddenly covered his eyes.

Feeling a stab of pain in his eyes, he pulled his long hair in a flurry. His tightly clenched fingers subconsciously loosened. The umbrella that had created a rain of flowers in the peach blossom forest could not withstand the cold wind. The bamboo bones snapped with a snap and flew out of his hand toward the outside of the city wall.

The oil paper fluttered, and the broken umbrella bones cast a sad shadow.

… This was the only thing Xie Ziyou left behind before he disappeared.

Xie Ziyou's mind went blank. When he came back to his senses, he had already jumped high on the wall. Half of his body was in the air, and he reached out to catch the oil paper umbrella that had been blown away by the wind.

His fingertips caught a petal on the umbrella cover, and it was wet and shiny.

The cold wind whistled. The young man brushed past the oil paper umbrella, and a crack appeared on the wall under his feet. His footsteps were unstable. Xie Ziyou's pupils suddenly shrank, and he fell sideways from the city wall!

"Crash!"

His frantic waving hands seemed to have overturned something. It rolled and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.

Xie Ziyou suddenly opened his eyes.

He gasped for breath, and his chest rose and fell violently.

In front of him was the familiar vermilion beam. The pale gauze curtain fluttered, and the window lattice was half open. Dawn came into the room through the gap, making the originally spacious room even more empty.

This was Xie Ziyou's bedroom in Chea Prefecture.

… Fang Cai was a dream.

Xie Ziyou took a deep breath, lay down again, and tried to calm his rapid breathing.

The fear of brushing past the oil-paper umbrella still lingered in his heart and could not be erased. It was as if there was some kind of omen that he was about to miss not an umbrella, but the young man that he had been thinking about all this time.

"Damn nightmare." Xie Ziyou muttered.

"You you, are you awake?" The System's concerned call sounded in his mind. It said softly, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes."

Xie Ziyou put his right hand on his forehead and closed his eyes slightly. "What's the situation now? How did I get back to the Xie family?"

The System said, "It might not be a nightmare."

"You you, there are many incomprehensible existences in the void. Some nightmares are the best at seducing people, awakening the ugly side of people's hearts, and seeing evil and sin as food. Maybe you met them."

"They can only cause trouble in the void. Once you leave the space gap, they can't continue to hurt you."

The System paused, and comforted him gently. "You you, dreams are always the opposite of reality. Don't worry."

Xie Ziyou was silent for a moment, and said softly, "… Yes."

Although he said so, his heart was still heavy with worry.

What surprised Xie Ziyou even more was that after the System's explanation, he had been in a coma for more than ten days.

The space tunnel created by the Master God was really a masterpiece. Xie Hengyi and the others had landed in a safe place within a radius of ten miles around the arcane realm. They were not affected by the chaos of the broken space, so they should be able to quickly find each other and Awakening.

When Xie Ziyou jumped out of the gap, the space tunnel had just disappeared. He was lucky not to be torn to pieces by the hurricane, and not to be eaten by the wild beasts in the mountains. Unfortunately, he was affected mentally and fell into a coma.

The collapse of the arcane realm in advance was undoubtedly a big news that shocked the cultivation world.

The servants who stayed outside the arcane realm searched everywhere. Some found their master in a coma in the mountains and hurriedly brought them home for treatment. Xie Ziyou was one of them.

There were also many servants who couldn't find anything, or only found a warm corpse. They were so scared that their legs trembled. Those who had been bullied in daily life turned around and fled. Some even took advantage of the fact that they were unprepared and took out their daggers … In the narrow mountain ridge, there were many comedic dramas that tested human nature.

Xie Ziyou said worriedly, "Where's Xie Heng?"

He could not predict when those people would Awakening, and the first to find them might not be the servants, but the enemies or strangers with bad intentions.

The System shook its head and said it did not know.

Just protecting Xie Ziyou from being hurt by the ferocious beasts in the mountains had exhausted all of its mental and physical strength. After all, its mimicry was only that of a little bee, and Xie Ziyou had spent all of his points, so he couldn't even exchange for the lowest level of protection.

At the mention of points, Xie Ziyou suddenly came back to his senses.

He hurriedly called out the System Panel and looked at the golden "0" in the total points. He was speechless for a long time.

The System transformed into a small bee and landed on Xie Ziyou's shoulder. It said carefully, "You you, do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

The System said, "Regret that you used up all your points to save people who have nothing to do with you."

"… Don't worry," Xie Ziyou looked up at the flowers in the small courtyard outside the window and said softly, "I don't regret it.

If I save people, I will only lose points. If I don't save people, I will lose more important things. "

He paused for a moment and smiled.

"I'm playing the role of the villain. I can't really become the villain."

Xie Ziyou said confidently, "When we first came to this world, weren't we also poor?

At most, we can start all over again. "

The System smiled happily and said, "You you, it's great that you can think like this.

But if you want to start all over again … I'm afraid it will be difficult. "

The smile on Xie Ziyou's face froze.

It seemed like … it was true?

His points mainly came from two sources. One was the hatred of the protagonist and the other was the face slapping of the protagonist.

However, at this moment, he had confirmed that the protagonist was Xie Heng. Not to mention whether Xie Ziyou was willing to continue gaining hatred, even if he hardened his heart, Xie Heng might not cooperate obediently.

Xie Ziyou sat on the edge of the bed. He held his face in his hands and thought hard about how he could manipulate the resources at hand. He looked around the room. Yuguang suddenly fell on the beam of the room. A Yingbai peeked out.

It was the sword bone that he had hidden before.

Recalling the truth of the dream, Xie Ziyou's cheeks turned red.

Only then did he realize that Xie Heng could sense the sword bone. These few days, he had hidden the sword bone in a high place. Wouldn't that make it easier for that lecher?

The room was different from the outdoors. He did not have to look like a villain. It was the only place he could relax. Xie Ziyou thought about the past month. He crossed his legs, ate melon seeds, gnawed on chicken bones, changed his clothes, kicked off the quilt …

All of this had probably been seen by that bastard.

… Damn.

Thinking of this, Xie Ziyou saw stars and steam came out of his ears.

He jumped onto the beam of the room angrily, grabbed the sword bone, and threw it to the corner of the room. He almost raised his leg and stomped on it.

The System quickly stopped him, "You, aren't you afraid that the spirit bone will be eaten by rats at night?"

"It's him!"

Xie Ziyou's beautiful peach blossom eyes widened. The corners of his eyes turned red. He said angrily, "Give him a taste of your power. Let's see if he dares to peep!"

The System smiled bitterly.

It knew that Xie Ziyou was just saying these words out of anger. Its host had always been stubborn but soft-hearted. Knowing that the sword bone was connected to Xie Heng, she would not let the spirit bone gather dust in the corner.

The System changed the topic and pulled Xie Ziyou to chat casually. As expected, Xie Ziyou's anger weakened bit by bit. He started to lose focus and kept glancing at the corner of the wall subconsciously.

After a while, the young man gritted his teeth and moved to the corner. He bent down to pick up the spirit bone and wiped it on his sleeve.

"I'm not pitying him."

Without waiting for the System to speak, Xie Ziyou said, "The view from this corner is too bright. I have to find a place for it to hide."

The System teased, "Under the bed?"

Xie Ziyou's eyes twitched. He pretended not to hear it.

He found a black box and placed the sword bone in it. He then found a piece of silk cloth to wrap the box tightly and stuffed it into the depths of the closet.

"You, did you know?" The System said, "Rats will bite the cloth and bite through the wooden box …"

"They won't!

Shut up, I won't listen! "

"Okay, even if there are no rats, the small and dark space is still very harmful to the mind.

Xie Heng often feels that he is trapped in such a narrow and claustrophobic space. He might become claustrophobic, autistic, or depressed … "

"… You're so annoying."

Xie Ziyou's hand that was about to stuff the box froze. After struggling for a long time, he reluctantly pulled the box back into his arms. He opened the cloth and took out the sword bone.

The sword bone was still as clear as jade. The small sword had already taken shape, and its sharpness could be felt.

"Damn it," Xie Ziyou thought with a headache. "How should I deal with this thing?"

Before he could think of a safe way, someone knocked on the wooden door from the outside. A woman's sweet voice penetrated the gap and floated into the room. She said worriedly, "Youer, I heard you woke up. Are you okay?"

It was Wang Yun.
