The group's beloved wife: She is the phoenix, she is the king

After Chapter 686 Disappeared

Some truths and doubts are like cutting an onion, layer after layer, and you have to keep going. —Epigraph

Ran Yun and Duan Heng, however, were even more convinced that Fan Nuoxi was in another world beyond their reach, and was probably a powerful being.

Such severe injuries must indicate someone of considerable importance.

But why she has been so unpredictable lately remains a mystery.

While eating, Yuan Qing looked thoughtfully in the direction of Fan Nuoxi's bedroom.

Why do I feel that the aura emanating from her has reached a point where even I am afraid?

Dongfang Junyan was also looking in the direction of Fan Nuoxi's bedroom, his eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion.

Fan Nuoxi's bedroom.

Fan Nuoxi carefully examined Tuanzi and found that Tuanzi's situation was the same as theirs, which made her even more puzzled.

"Dear Master, why are you looking at Tuanzi like that?"

Tuanzi felt uneasy under Fan Nuoxi's gaze and cautiously said...

Did Tuanzi get caught secretly eating snacks on the street?

That can't be right.

"Can you use magic?" Fan Nuoxi asked directly.

"Tuanzi seems unable to use magic," Tuanzi raised her hand, and magic gathered at her fingertips in an instant before dissipating. "Why are you asking this, dear master?"

Fan Nuoxi flicked her finger, and golden magic power visibly appeared around her fingertip. "Am I the only one who is not restricted?"

“It seems so,” Tuanzi agreed. “But it doesn’t seem like a bad thing for our dear master, so there’s no need to worry.”

"But I think this is too unusual. Why am I the only one who can do this?" Fan Nuoxi was puzzled when she saw that Tuanzi seemed to accept it well.

"I haven't been able to sense your presence for a long time lately. Where have you gone?"

As Tuanzi listened to these words, her eyes darted around, as if she was trying to come up with some excuse to get through it.

"Please don't hide it from me, okay?" Fan Nuoxi pleaded when she saw her like this.

"Actually, Tuanzi was separated from you after her beloved owner was discharged from the hospital, including that guy who looks even weirder than octopus tentacles."

Fan Nuoxi frowned but did not interrupt.

Under the subtle pressure of Fan Nuoxi's gaze, coupled with several layers of soundproofing, Tuanzi obediently confessed where he had been these past few days.

Tuanzi felt like crying but had no tears. Although someone told her not to tell anyone, this person was her dear master! She couldn't hide it from her, even if she had to hide it from others!

Anyway, she didn't agree in the first place.

This story begins when Fan Nuoxi was admitted to the ICU.

At that time, both Fan Nuoxi and Tuanzi sensed that the power of the tentacles seemed to be harmless, and there was no rejection phenomenon when it flowed through Fan Nuoxi's body. For this reason, Fan Nuoxi and Tuanzi remained suspicious and vigilant, but due to their severe physical damage, they had no choice but to accept the help of this power.

To Tuanzi's surprise, the tentacles also took care of Yuan Qing and Dongfang Junyan.

Just as Fan Nuoxi was about to be discharged from the hospital, Tuanzi was silently carried away by those tentacles.

When they left, Fan Nuoxi was fast asleep. They even thoughtfully covered Tuanzi's mouth, and I don't know what they did, but Tuanzi fainted after only a short while...

When she opened her eyes again, Tuanzi found herself in a pitch-black world.

Because Fan Nuoxi was seriously injured at that time, and she had turned back into a little girl, she could not use any magic power. Naturally, she was lonely and helpless, but she wanted to return to Fan Nuoxi's side.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Despite her extensive search, she found no way out and didn't even sense any danger posed to her. Exhausted, Tuanzi found an open space and fell asleep immediately.

When she woke up, she saw a bunch of little black creatures surrounding her, blinking their colorful little eyes and watching her intently. When she looked over, her face lit up with joy.

Even though she had seen a lot from Fan Nuoxi, Tuanzi was still startled. She wanted to say something, but found that she could only whimper. What she really wanted to say was stuck in her throat.

Instinctively, I wanted to escape, but I was surrounded and couldn't get through. Those little guys kept jumping on me, but they weren't aggressive at all. It was both unsettling and baffling.

Before long, the little guys strangely split into two groups, revealing a road about six feet wide, with the little guys standing neatly on both sides of the road.

They, who had been chattering away at the dumpling, were now completely silent, as if waiting for something to happen.

Looking up along the path they had cleared, all that could be seen was darkness; nothing else was visible. Yet, this scene felt strangely familiar to Tuanzi, though she couldn't quite place where she had encountered it before.

Until a strange guy appeared on the road.

From a distance, you can see a few outlines, resembling mutated vegetables, looking somewhat grotesque and unrecognizable.

After all, it was really big. Every time it got a little closer, the little guys on the left and right sides would back away.

For some reason, Tuanzi wanted to look away but felt as if her body was being controlled, unable to move an inch. She could only watch helplessly as the enormous creature approached little by little, and then as its size gradually decreased until it became a "person" the height of an adult male.

He was over eight feet tall, with a graceful figure. His shimmering black robes accentuated his exquisitely crafted face, making him appear even more dignified and noble, yet also unapproachable and enigmatic.

The man's appearance was both alluring and dignified, with a touch of aggression that made people hesitant to approach him.

In Tuanzi's mind, there wasn't a single word that quite fit to describe this man; the most direct descriptions were mysterious and dangerous.

Before Tuanzi could react, the man half-squatted down, straightened her body, and looked her over with concern in his dark eyes.

A barely perceptible sigh, and the man's pervasive presence, made Tuanzi recognize that the person in front of her was the mysterious tentacle.

More precisely, it should be the embodiment of the tentacle's true form.

"Who are you?" Tuanzi asked, suppressing the fear that was rising in her heart.

Who will this person be?

Why does it feel so strangely familiar?

The person in front of her chuckled softly, then playfully pinched the little dumpling's nose with a pitiful expression, saying resentfully, "You little ingrate, you've forgotten me again, just like your master!"

"Do we know each other?" Tuanzi asked, as if facing a formidable enemy.

This guy looks impressive and quite capable. How does he know me?

However, on the other hand, since he saved her and her beloved master, it's quite possible that they might actually become acquainted, provided they aren't enemies...

After all, who would go to such lengths to do so much for someone for no reason?

Since we're already here, why not listen to his story? We can't just come for nothing...

Upon hearing this, the man frowned slightly, wanting to get angry but unable to. He sighed, hooked his arm, and picked Tuanzi up from the ground.

"I'll take you to see something, and you'll understand!"

He held her like that, and Tuanzi instinctively wanted to resist, but she couldn't fight back, so she could only look around.

The scattered little creatures could be vaguely seen gathering again, some turning into glowing road stones, others into lamps... in various shapes, seemingly carrying a hint of joy and excitement.

Tuanzi was secretly amazed, not noticing the fleeting pain in the man's eyes, only vaguely feeling that the restraints on her body had loosened slightly.

After a long while, the man finally stopped.

As the hazy scene before her suddenly dissipated, Tuanzi's heart began to race, her eyes welled up, and tears streamed down her face.

Why does this person look so much like me?

Tuanzi pointed to the coffin made of colorful vines, her voice trembling.

The coffin was oval in shape and seemed to be a colorful ball of light. The surrounding vines were less for support and more for supplying some kind of power.

Just looking at it from the vicinity is breathtaking, let alone the people inside, who are like adult versions of dumplings, which makes one shudder even more.

Compared to the little dumpling that looks like a baby now, that one is more neat and dignified in appearance. The horns on its head are naturally more majestic and domineering than the dumpling's horns. A colorful power can be vaguely seen lingering near the horns, as if telling a story.

As for the clothes on her body, their dazzling colors seemed to conceal some hidden secret.

Only her hands resting on her lower abdomen revealed a few clues.
