Chapter 1377: Chapter 1374: My Friend

Qin Zhan bent down and held the young girl in his arms, looking icily toward the Void. Xiao Wu tightly grasped Bi Xia’s dangling hand, his starry eyes blood-red. "The Void!"

Qin Zhan pushed Xiao Wu down and handed him to 007, slowly raising his hand. A massive black hole appeared behind the Void, and he said coolly, "You shouldn’t have touched her."

A wild wind emerged from the black hole, enveloping the Void and dragging it toward the hole. The Void was startled and immediately roared angrily, throwing the spiritual power that originally belonged to Qin Zhan into the black hole. Taking advantage of the red-gold merging with the black hole, it violently dashed out of the storm. "Qin Zhan, don’t think I’m afraid of you. Even if I die, Bi Xia won’t be safe. I don’t believe you’ll risk everything!"

"I never intended for you to die, merely to retrieve what’s mine," Qin Zhan said calmly. "Your life and the remaining spiritual power, Little Nine will personally reclaim them."

"Do you think that’s possible?"

"Do you think it’s impossible?!" Suddenly, Xiao Wu soared into the air, a red light ball appearing in the sky. The Void Space began to slowly manifest, and the gravity belonging to the Void Space started attracting the Void. The Void only felt its spiritual power beginning to head toward the Void Space, glaring angrily at Xiao Wu. "Do you want to die?! Even if you try your hardest, you can’t kill me! You’re just... a part of me!"

"Who is part of whom is still uncertain," Xiao Wu clenched his fist, "But... you shouldn’t have touched my sister! You shouldn’t have touched my sister!"

"Ha!" The Void struggled to hold itself upright. "Void! Bi Xia is the nemesis of both of us! With her, there is no us!"

"No!" Xiao Wu sneered, "With my sister, there is me!"

Already seriously injured by Bi Xia, the Void transformed into a spiritual form, its body full of wounds. The spiritual power it had absorbed for so long was mostly consumed by Bi Xia. Now, having lost Qin Zhan’s spiritual power support, it vaguely sensed that it was about to collapse.

The Void sneered, "Stubborn fool!"

Then, it turned into a deep blue spiritual force, leaving behind most of its spiritual power to rush out of the black hole, and the gravitational pull of the Void Space vanished without a trace, the voice echoing in the sky, "Just you wait and see. Sooner or later, I’ll show the world and those people that I, the Void, am everything!"

The black hole and the Void Space disappeared, and everything returned to calm. Xiao Wu looked at his body starting to become illusory and smiled bitterly, "Take care of my sister, I need to go back and heal first."

Qin Zhan nodded, allowing Xiao Wu to enter his spiritual sea, while 007 transformed into a string of data and returned to Bi Xia’s spiritual sea. A fire phoenix that was protecting Bi Xia also cried out and returned to Chu Wu’s spiritual sea.

"Boss! Big Brother!"

"Boss! Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!

Looking at the people who rushed out of the space, those are Jun... no, should say the people of the Nine Gates. Qin Zhan looked down at the unconscious Bi Xia, slightly pursing his lips, lifting his gaze toward Feng Zhihuai and Chu Wu, it indeed was Chu Wu, he said in a low voice, "Thank you."

Chu Wu smiled bitterly, "I don’t want to say ’you’re welcome’ at all, but... just like Big Brother said, that was the choice that Five and I made. Little Nine... doesn’t feel better than I do. Five disappeared right before her eyes. You... just stay with her well."

"... I know, I came back too late."

Bi Xia didn’t know how long she slept, but she vividly remembered Five disappearing in her arms, everything that Xiao Wu and Qin Zhan suffered, and also... the appearances of Xiao Wu and...

The starry eyes fixed unwaveringly on the phoenix eyes watching her, those eyes were no longer a pitch black but an extraordinarily mesmerizing deep brown. She pulled up a smile at the corner of her lips, gently caressing that emaciated outline, her voice hoarse from dryness, "... you’ve gotten thinner, really ugly..."

Qin Zhan smiled faintly, pulling Bi Xia up to face her, "Don’t dislike it, it’ll fill out again."

Softly nodding, "Is your task completed?"

"Not yet, but it’s just one step away, and it can be completed here."

Bi Xia smiled with relief, "That’s great, then Qin Qing and you should be fine, right."

"Mhm," Qin Zhan kissed the girl’s forehead, "So clever, guessed it was related to my sister."

"Because Qin Qing’s life crystal is with me," Bi Xia smiled, tapping her palm, then pointing at her heart, "yours is here."

The phoenix eyes deeply gazed at the girl’s heart, "Mhm, it should have been here all along."

Pursing her lips, Bi Xia blinked her starry eyes, gazing at Qin Zhan, looking for a long time, suddenly tears flowed down, "You’re really annoying, if you had come back earlier, I wanted to introduce you to a good friend."

"Jiu..."

"She’s even dumber than I used to be. She’s so stupid it’s deadly, feeling every day that she’ll leave eventually, but she doesn’t know how important she is to us. Yet she still left because I left. She also said she was happy to protect me, but I’m so sad!"

Bi Xia kept wiping away the endless tears, "She doesn’t know what it was like when she disappeared in my arms, she was still smiling! Smiling so uglily, I could feel she wanted to stay! But I couldn’t stop it, couldn’t stop it at all! It’s killing me! It hurts so much!"

"I struggled to become strong, I struggled to be the umbrella for everyone, yet I still couldn’t protect her, couldn’t stop her disappearance, in the end... I still failed to save her, just watching helplessly as she was swallowed by the Void..."

The corner of her mouth tugged into an extremely forced, extremely unsightly smile, "I really... wanted to introduce her to you, saying, Fourth Brother, let me introduce this friend I adore so much, on par with Xiao Wu, her name is Five, she’s a child so dull-witted, utterly incapable of expressing herself...!"

Seeing Bi Xia like this, Qin Zhan’s heart ached, pulling Bi Xia into his embrace, and at that moment, Bi Xia seemed unable to hold back any longer, she burst into tears.

Silently kissing the top of the girl’s head, Qin Zhan’s phoenix eyes slightly lowered, his pupils dark and profoundly deep.
