Feng Luo fell into hesitation, unable to clear his thoughts for a moment...

Sky Shadow said, "You hide well, but you can't fool me alone."

"It seems so. If you want to know the truth, why rush at this moment?"

"Speaking of Mo Ying, I owe it a favor. You must explain this matter clearly—honestly, I don't believe you could have done anything to it. Even if we exist in the same dimension, Mo Ying's understanding far surpasses ours. But the strange thing is right here, I'm certain its last breath disappeared by your side."

Indeed, Sky Shadow was clear and logical. The young lady's eyes revealed a hint of admiration at his words, "If you can keep up, then come along."

"Boring. Can you maneuver for a while, but can you walk forever?"

"To deal with you, there's no need for forever. In as little as three to five days or as many as a dozen days, I can easily defeat you."

"Hehehe, hahahahaha..." Sky Shadow couldn't help but burst out laughing. He really couldn't hold it in; it was the biggest joke he'd heard this century. "You are beautiful, and also ridiculous."

"Ridiculous?"

Sky Shadow explained, "Perhaps using ignorance to describe the young lady would be more appropriate."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Looking around the world, there aren't many who can fight me. Except for Feng Yi, even I don't believe anyone else dares to claim they can defeat me. Isn't that quite ridiculous?"

The young lady sneered, "Ignorant people are truly pitiful."

"Very well, with your abilities, you should be able to reach the finals. I'll let you go today and wait for you a few more days." Just bypassing him from behind told Sky Shadow that her speed far exceeded his; chasing her wouldn't be easy. It would be better to take advantage and arrange another duel."

"Hmph."

At the Gallia Seven Star Hotel, Feng Yi quickly returned to the room after the battle, lowering his head to check the spread of his injuries.

With his current bodily mechanisms, it was theoretically difficult for him to be poisoned or invaded by external malignant forces. Yet the dull pain in his hand was becoming more apparent.

Adhering to his personal creed, he certainly wouldn't interfere in battles using his special powers. Just like the final confrontation with the bizarre, even if he were to die, he wouldn't dream of changing everything with overwhelming strength—it's a matter of principle.

The current situation was indeed tricky. Feng Yi considered whether he should find a Blade Warrior to take a look or perhaps undergo surgery at a hospital, which he hadn't visited in many years.

Knock! Knock! Knock! His thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knocking on the door from outside.

Upon opening the door, Feng Yi was quite surprised, "It's you..."

"It's me."

Could it be because of the Mo Ying affair? At this thought, Feng Yi didn't delay, "It's an honor to have you visit, Miss. Please come in, though I wonder..."

Unfortunately, he didn't receive the response he wanted. The young lady said, "Just to see you."

"See me?"

"Since our last farewell, do you still remember our conversation?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi's mind suddenly cleared up. He had indeed invited this young lady that day, saying she could visit. Coincidentally now, Feng Yi suppressed the acute pain in his hand and offered her a seat, "Please, Miss."

"Thank you."

The young lady sat halfway, as if surveying the surroundings, and her clever eyes finally rested on Feng Yi's right hand, intentionally or unintentionally saying, "I see your complexion isn't good. Is there anything wrong with your health?"

"Just a minor surface wound. Not sure if Miss has any matter to discuss."

With a slight frown on his brow, Feng Yi hoped to learn about Mo Ying from the visitor. Though he didn't explicitly mention it, the pain on his face was hard to conceal. Unexpectedly, the corrosive power was so formidable that even the Light of Life couldn't resist.

"I suppose there's something different about your body, so why pretend to be calm? Let me take a look." She widened her almond eyes slightly.

"Excuse my poor appearance."

Feng Yi silently extended his arm, where a bluish-black mark seemed to continuously spread, only to be countered by the power of life...

The young lady contemplated for a moment, then calmly said, "If my guess is correct, this should be the Titan Royal Bloodline power, termed Hidden Veins, similar to fungi. Sir, you must take it seriously."

"You know about the Elf Royalty?"

"A little. I was fortunate enough to see some records from the Bounty Tribe. This is an ancient royal bloodline power, extremely hard to remove once ingested, and must be resolved with cold energy."

As she spoke, she unexpectedly extended her jade hand, placing it on Feng Yi's palm, slowly channeling outwards with inner strength, freezing... Her demeanor unexpectedly gentle.

Feng Yi, of course, understood her intention, so he didn't dodge. Yet this indescribable gaze made him dare not meet hers, feeling both familiar and distant, as if it could pierce through his being, making one unforgettable.

In no time, the bluish-black arm was completely frozen by the cold air, and Feng Yi only felt the pain gradually dissipate...

The injury showed significant improvement, yet the young lady remained elegant, her alabaster hand soft and smooth, not retracting, unsettling Feng Yi, "I couldn't tell the Miss is also a skilled healer."

"An overpraise. I observed that you deliberately took on these strange moves during the battle. As the saying goes, a peaceful heart brings peace. One shouldn't seek trouble intentionally. Sir must remember to value yourself; why pursue curiosity repeatedly at the expense of safety?"

Feng Yi smiled bitterly, his spirit rippling slightly due to the subtle intimacy, softly said, "Miss, in my peculiar living environment, encountering strange techniques leaves me curious to explore their depths. This has indeed made me suffer many hardships, yet it was this curiosity that often allowed me to avert disasters and achieve today's accomplishments."

"Hehe, I notice that you appear calm yet hide an air of sorrow. Might there be some unresolved issues?" The young lady spoke gently, her clear eyes seemingly able to see through Feng Yi's heart.

What sharp eyes, Feng Yi inwardly marveled at her ability to discern his heart. Yet, this feeling wasn't unpleasant. He nodded honestly and said, "Life and death, separation, everyone has worries."

"Indeed, one can't escape life and death in this world."

"Miss, do you mean..."

The young lady earnestly said, "Such is the accumulation of time; mental scars constantly scab over time, forming our steadfast imprints. Life is full of mistakes and realizations. To know, to understand, to ponder, to regret—only this defines a true man's path."

"Life is full of mistakes and realizations, understanding and reflection..." Feng Yi was deeply moved, nodding, and slowly lifted his head, looking directly at her with an indescribable emotion in his gaze.

"Miss, you surpass me in wisdom and insight. Your words truly enlighten me—spoken by someone who knows me, like you, Miss."

Truly, a friend is easy to find, yet a confidant is hard to seek, especially along life's rugged, long road. At this moment, Feng Yi suddenly felt an indescribable sense of being touched! It's a kind of mutual sympathy...

Yet... the young lady knows the wind, but the wind does not know the young lady...

Seeing her gaze lingering and her bright eyes observing, her demeanor appeared even more ethereal under the setting sun, gently lifting her other hand. They watched, as though the inner strength melted the icy breath and seemingly the slumbering heart.

A moment of silence enveloped them...
