Her body was covered in sticky, black liquid. It was not as cold as she had imagined, but it felt suffocating as if her body was entangled in spider silk, like the worms crawling around her would come and devour her in any second.

Ye Xinxia opened her eyes but she could not see anything in the darkness. It felt like she was falling slowly. The weightlessness made her feel like she was nothing but a soul.

-Am I dead?-, Xinxia murmured in her heart.

There was no sound, no light, not even a single hint of warmth. Perhaps this was what death felt like. The emptiness that would make a person panic, the overwhelming sorrow from the sense of loneliness!

The sadness gradually turned into an unstoppable surge of emotions as she recalled her final moments.

Was she never going to see him again?

The loneliness was not what she was afraid of. She had long gotten used to being alone, until the boy that was a year older than her living next door kept coming to visit her. Even though she was too shy to speak, the boy would keep jabbering on his own. Just listening to him would drive all the boredom away...

She had lived at the very end of the street, and was not allowed to leave the house. She would rest her head on the window sill waiting for the boy’s face to show up; either he was tried to scare her or amuse her with a grimace, or maybe he was wearing a smile. She no longer felt like she was transparent after Mo Fan showed up; she was no longer someone that had been abandoned in an old house on a street!

Her anticipation of seeing Mo Fan did not disappear when she grew up. It was subconscious; her heart would be brimming with hope and joy whenever she saw him.

She was not afraid of being alone, but of the fact that she would never feel the anticipation again. Without it, she was basically dead on the inside. After all, it was Mo Fan that made her feel alive in the first place, the anticipation of seeing him had kept her going all this time...

She continued to fall as if the place was bottomless.

Ye Xinxia tried hard to stay awake, longing to remember his face. She believed it was the only thing she could do, as she eventually fell into a deep slumber!

She suddenly heard a sound that made her blood run cold nearby.

Ye Xinxia glanced around in the darkness. Even though she could not see anything, she could sense countless worms wriggling around her!

The worms were like huge maggots, with sharp teeth around their heads and necks.

More worms showed up. It felt like they had gathered around a dining table, and were ready for dinner. They could not wait any longer to feast on their prey.

Xinxia let out a self-mocking smile. It turned out that she was not dead. She still had to go through the pain of being eaten alive by the worms.

Xinxia closed her eyes and raised her head slightly. The fear on her face was replaced by a calm look as she gradually accepted the fate awaiting her...

The worms lunged at the girl like a strong tide.

“Die! Die! Die, you assholes!”

A huge flame lit up the dark tunnel like a brilliant sun. The fires knocked the worms aside and burned them into ashes.

The fire burned fiercely around Xinxia. She was unable to see the burning figure clearly, as it was just too fast for her. Her eyes followed the figure that was running around in the darkness while massacring the worms...

Ye Xinxia had no idea how many worms were in her surroundings. The whole place was pitch-black, and she was completely surrounded by the black worms. The burning figure had brought her a glimpse of light and warmth by killing the worms!

Ye Xinxia was able to take a quick glance at her surroundings with the light produced by the flames. She lifted her gaze and saw countless worms wriggling above her. There were so many of them that she could not see even the slightest opening!

“Brother...Brother Mo Fan!” Xinxia was totally aware of who the burning figure was. Her eyes widened in astonishment, before they slowly turned wet as tears burst out of them. The tears rolled down her cheeks, her neck and soaked her shirt!

Mo Fan did not hear her cry. He was lost in a frenzy from the endless killing. Since Hayla was planning to devour Xinxia in this place, Mo Fan would kill every single one of the billions of worms that Hayla was made of instead!

Hayla grew stronger after entering the dark tunnel. Mo Fan finally cleared a path through the thick layers of worms to reach Xinxia, but they were currently in Hayla’s territory. The creature had no intention of letting them leave!

The worms kept showing up. Mo Fan had barely cleared the area within a kilometer to create some space, but the worms soon filled up the space from all directions...

Ye Xinxia glanced around her. It felt like she and Mo Fan had ended up on a planet completely made of worms, and they were currently stuck in the core of the planet under countless layers of them!

Mo Fan did not stop killing. The shadow behind him flickered continuously. Whenever the black worms filled up the space around them, Mo Fan would emit an eerie, red glow that turned thousands of worms into nothing!

Mo Fan was killing the worms untiringly. He had no intention of stopping at all.

Xinxia never thought Mo Fan would come after her. She had been dragged into the abyss of Hell, she was nothing but a dead person!

—

Flames burst out of Mo Fan’s body and surged in different directions, each clearing a path through the layers of black worms, burning the worms along its path into ashes. The thousands of trails of flames immediately tore a huge gap through the worms...

Mo Fan immediately looked through the gap. He initially thought he could see an opening, but the worms just kept coming. It did not seem like their numbers were falling after all the killing he had done!

Mo Fan had already unleashed all his power. If he still could not clear a path through the worms, it was basically game over.

The little space that he had created was soon filled up by the worms. Mo Fan landed beside Xinxia. His face was finally filled with fatigue, yet Xinxia did not see the slightest despair on it...

Mo Fan was looking at Xinxia too. The redness in his eyes slowly faded away, and slowly reclaimed their original brown.

The two stared right into one another’s eyes. Neither of them said a single word, yet they could read one another’s minds just by looking into their eyes!

“I will bring you out of here!” Mo Fan swore.

Xinxia did not let Mo Fan fight any longer. She hugged Mo Fan from behind tightly. Her soft body hung tightly onto him. Her hands were wrapped around Mo Fan’s chest as she placed her head on Mo Fan’s back...

The only thing she wanted was to stay with Mo Fan while waiting for the worms to slowly fill up the space around them.

Mo Fan knew what Xinxia was thinking. As a matter of fact, he was completely worn out, too.

Mo Fan grabbed Xinxia’s cold hands and slowly loosened them. He turned around and faced her.

Mo Fan had a wry smile upon seeing the calm look in Xinxia’s eyes. He tugged her into his arms. Ye Xinxia’s petite body sank deep into Mo Fan’s chest, as if they had merged into one!

“Is this enough?” Mo Fan whispered into Xinxia’s ears.

“Mm, it’s more than enough,” Ye Xinxia nodded heavily.

Mo Fan and Xinxia did not tear up under the circumstances. Both their eyes and their hearts were calm and peaceful.

“Brother Mo Fan...”

“Mm?”

“I love you.”

Mo Fan was lost for words. Xinxia had never said those three words to him.

Mo Fan loved her, too. He always treated their relationship, a mix of the love of a family and romance preciously, but...

Hayla’s noisy cries kept harassing them. The creature still wanted to disturb them during their final moments!

Black worms kept moving closer. The space that the light of the flames could reach kept shrinking. The filthy worms impatiently surged forward while crying out greedily!

Mo Fan and Xinxia totally disregarded the worms surrounding them. Death was knocking impatiently on the door.

Mo Fan was engulfed in the brown Calamity Fire once again. It slowly rose from his feet to his chest and his head.

Xinxia looked at Mo Fan who had put on the fiery armor in astonishment. She did not understand what Mo Fan was up to.

“Sorry, I just can’t do it!” Mo Fan said, as his face was covered by the flames.

Xinxia wanted the two to wait for their deaths silently.

Mo Fan did not respond, as he could not really do it. He was not willing to wait for his death while the two were hugging one another.

The worms opened their mouths and lunged at their prey.

Mo Fan’s fists were set aflame. The flames spread wildly like dragons, killing every single worm nearby!

Xinxia looked at him. The flames engulfing him were no longer scorching and as powerful as they used to be.

Mo Fan was also looking at Xinxia. He said, “Allow me to fight for you until the very last moment, please?”

Before Ye Xinxia could give her answer, the figure that was surrounded by flames and lightning dove into the layers of worms. The black worms soon turned into pieces and dust as blood splattered across the place.

Xinxia remained still, her eyes closely following the figure moving rapidly among the worms...
