The sound of explosions, screams of pain and the clinking of ear-piercing swords became the setting where Xiu Qixuan was located.
Sparks of blood and scattered corpses were seen in front of his two clear eyes. Fighting, war, destruction, and death made the beautiful girl who witnessed the incident slightly tremble in fear.
How could he be in the midst of this endless destruction? Xiu Qixuan could still remember clearly that the last time he was in pain from accidentally eating the Heavenly Ball Lotus Plant.
An ear-splitting explosion was heard from the west, Xiu Qixuan jumped in shock at the sight of the huge sparks burning west quickly scorching the buildings and trees - and then the fire disappeared like someone could control it.
Many people who are still alive running in erratic directions, Xiu Qixuan tried to avoid being almost stepped on by them, he stepped aside to approach a small building like a store that had not been operating for a long time.
When the human wave that was running around was no longer visible, Xiu Qixuan stepped onto the middle of the stretch of road, twisting her body in confusion the beautiful girl tried to find someone who could tell her what was going on.
An unknown military warrior of her identity hailing from the Shen, Mo or Xia-imperial ran very fast and almost hit Xiu Qixuan's body, lucky the beautiful girl quickly dodged.
"Hey! Can't you see I'm standing here?" Shouting Xiu Qixuan turned to look at the soldier who hit him, but he was wide awake to see the soldier was busy escaping from the snares of a flock of birds of prey that like flies swarming over him.
Xiu Qixuan was frozen silent, her mind blank for a while before the girl stepped closer to the soldier whose distress blocked the flock of birds of prey with a sword in her arm.
Just now he was trying to help the soldier fall and the flock of birds of prey that surrounded the soldier just disappeared, just like that, the soldier's body was lying on the ground in a terrible condition like burning by something and then shrinking like dry and lost like ash.
Xiu Qixuan's heart pumped fiercely watching the scene in front of her two eyes instantly. How horrible!
Both of his legs limp as boneless, his body slumped down on the ground. He tried to regain his composure and regain control of his body.
After a while Xiu Qixuan felt better, the girl stood up looking for someone to ask.
When he stepped and saw his environment that was arid with many corpses from the beginning of the people and soldiers lying on the ground. This place was like a big City but because of the destruction made Xiu Qixuan not know where he was now.
Xiu Qixuan ran erratically through the place, whose thoughts were on escaping from this place!
When he heard the human voice from the front, Xiu Qixuan approached the place because he thought it was a human wave that had previously run around and almost hit him.
He froze as he watched from a distance that his place was now an even more terrifying battleground!
More warriors are desperately trying to survive against the strange creatures that are so fierce. Xiu Qixuan hid behind a large tree, took a deep breath and stepped silently in the opposite direction to escape.
At the third step-a shadow flashed over Xiu Qixuan's head.
'Bruk' The body of the dead soldier floated and fell in front of him.
"No longer," muttered Xiu Qixuan softly sighing.
Xiu Qixuan pretended not to see and continued his steps, but the large-bodied strange creature that had an animal-bodied human face-stepped smashed through everything with its heavy strides.
Xiu Qixuan was silent holding her breath and closing her eyelids as the strange creature approached her, the strange creature's breath was clear and felt very close.
After a moment of not feeling anything Xiu Qixuan opened both of her eyelids, The beautiful girl saw the strange creature walking away after carrying the corpse of the soldier in his mouth that has sharp fangs to a place that seems to specifically put the corpse.
'Aren't these monsters too smart?' Xiu Qixuan asked inwardly
The sound of the previous battle that felt extremely intense gradually died down, Xiu Qixuan twisted her body looking towards that battleground. Soldiers who previously fought to defend their lives had many dead lifeless.
Xiu Qixuan took a breath and stepped forward, herself not intending to run away anymore. Not because the beautiful girl deliberately defied death, but the courage came when she knew the strange creatures did not prey on her, maybe she was transparent here?
The beautiful girl stepped up regularly, trying not to see the terrible things that were going on. Dodging leisurely as strange creatures were passing by his side.
"Their eyes seemed to be myopic," muttered Xiu Qixuan still had time to ridicule the monsters. Shouldn't the girl be thankful that she's lucky not to be preyed upon?
Xiu Qixuan looked at the distance of several meters there was a pair of black and white wings. The girl walked over to the thing she had seen before.
How shocked when both eyes looked at a human's pair of eyes.
A man fell on the ground with a lot of blood around him. Xiu Qixuan frowned in confusion, is the person in front of him a human or some other strange creature?
"You're okay?" Xiu Qixuan asked doubtfully, that was the first sentence she asked. Xiu Qixuan wanted to see-whether this person could answer her question, if being able to answer meant that the man could see it.
The radiance of the two eyeballs were heartily staring at Xiu Qixuan, a radiance that implied a deep sense of sadness and loneliness. This man is so pathetic!
Xiu Qixuan reflexively stepped closer to the man in front of her, but only one step closer - Xiu Qixuan stopped her steps in shock at the originally silent radiance turning into a sinister glow of resentment and hatred.
"Can you see me or not?" Xiu Qixuan asked bluntly, questioning herself transparently or not. If it doesn't look good to just run away, right?
"Why?" Asked the man back wistfully and pitifully like before.
"What?" Xiu Qixuan asked in confusion,
Xiu Qixuan did not answer the girl in confusion and just silently stared waiting for the next sentence.
"They treated me like a monster, now I command the real monsters to treat them well," he explained cheerfully, as if proud of his good deeds.
"Hahahaha, do you think I have now returned all their kindness?" Asked the man with a happy laugh.
Xiu Qixuan shuddered in fear, this fellow is already insane! Better avoid it.
Stepping back silently but the man in front of him realized the slightest action, the man immediately stood holding onto Xiu Qixuan's two shoulders and shook slowly.
"You're afraid of me! I love you but you-you left me alone! You're making me more devastated!" Shouted the man in front of him loudly.
Xiu Qixuan looked at the expression of the man in front of her with a wistful look implying a sense of kasian, a, for some reason he did not feel fear at all when the man in front of him touched his shoulder but Xiu Qixuan felt a huge sense of guilt to the point of making both his eyeballs tear up in tears.
"Sorry," That one word just came out of Xiu Qixuan's mouth.
The man in front of him fell silent and released both hands that had previously held onto Xiu Qixuan's shoulders.
"Heh, now you feel guilty. Of course it's because you're involved in this destruction" the man said with a slanted smile.
"Do you feel relieved after doing all this?" Xiu Qixuan asked with a quivering voice, her two eyeballs were already teary-eyed holding back tears. Xiu Qixuan had no idea why she was uncontrollable since the man touched her shoulder.
"Don't cry. You mustn't cry, I won't allow it" said the man wiping away the tears that began to flow down Xiu Qixuan's cheeks.
"I'm not crying," Elak Xiu Qixuan was honest because she really did not cry, an annoying uncontrollable feeling when she met this man that made her shed tears.
"Who are you?" Xiu Qixuan asked trying to trace the face of the man in front of her. But somehow he could not see the picture or the face of this man.
"Even you don't remember me" said the man.
"Did I make a big mistake with you?" Xiu Qixuan asked back
The man in front of him was silent for quite a while but then he smiled and replied gently,
"No, forget what I said before. My love cannot be guilty of me. I am like the wind, exiled to the end of the world. Rebelling against destiny, seeking justification and revenge, causing my own destruction."
"Actually for what? This love of yours is a double-edged sword. After all that was sacrificed but more and more lost. This endless torment, Stop it!" Xiu Qixuan said loudly, the beautiful girl is already sobbing.
Xiu Qixuan did not know him but this great feeling of guilt and longing controlled his mind to take that sentence out for granted.
"It's too late, Xuan'er. I hope that in the next life I can be with you through the day as a happy couple who love each other without carrying grudges and resentments," said the man smilingly wiping tears streaming down Xiu Qixuan's cheeks.
"Next life, who is afraid of the end of the world? If I'm still in the same position and it's too quiet, I'll make sure you stay with me. I won't let you have the choice to leave me again." The man pulled his hand from Xiu Qixuan's face then the man smilingly stepped back and disappeared.
Xiu Qixuan extended an arm to restrain the man's departure, herself shaking her head and crying even louder.

"XuanXuan, wake up. XuanXuan," Call Xiao Rou anxiously to see the condition of her great Miss in this extremely chaotic bed.
Xiu Qixuan's face was so pale that Xiao Rou thought her master had fallen ill and also Xiu Qixuan kept crying in her sleep, making Xiao Rou worried and anxious especially since it had been shaken to wake her up was not successful, Xiu Qixuan's cry grew louder and more anxious.
Just as Xiao Rou stepped in to call Xiao Taoli, Xiu Qixuan's remark stopped him.
"Don't go, I'm sorry." The sentence continuously came out several times from Xiu Qixuan's mouth.
Xiao Rou shook Xiu Qixuan's body even harder, trying to ponder it again.
Xiu Qixuan opened her eyelids, looking at those watery clear eyeballs. The beautiful girl was still crying. But Xiao Rou heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Xiu Qixuan had already woken up from her sleep.

This was one of the monsters Xiu Qixuan had seen before.
