Absolute Choice

Hongyue, who was immersed in venting her anger, only had the youth in her eyes. The ugly looks of those human aristocrats she abhorred overlapped with the youth’s figure, becoming the replacement outlet for her anger.

Hongyue completely didn’t notice that a tiny figure had suddenly intruded into the battlefield where continuous explosions were happening. The girl’s sobbing cries of “stop fighting” was drowned amid her furious roars.

The swirling blood-red roses showed no signs of stopping. Yet, the little girl was already at the periphery of the petal storm!

Shi Xiaobai’s expression changed slightly as he quickly gathered all his Psionic Power into his legs. With a powerful leap, the accompanying energy allowed him to instantly propel himself forward in an instant!

Crab Steps’ Proximity Chasm!

A distance of tens of meters was reduced to inches in a blink of an eye. The high speed motion was like teleportation, causing Shi Xiaobai to instantly bolt past Hongyue and appear like a guardian in front of the little girl as he hugged her tightly.

Hongyue turned around in shock, but due to her angle, she did not discover the little girl who was within the youth’s protective embrace. All she saw was the youth’s unprotected back.

Without even thinking why the youth was suddenly having his back facing her, or it could be said that Hongyue had already abandoned all thought except one—a chance! A chance for revenge!

“Ah, ah, ah!”

Hongyue let out a sharp scream as her reddened eyes no longer had any reason to them. The spear in her hand stabbed repeatedly at the youth’s back in a frenzy like she had a machine gun.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sounds of solid, successive blows were heard as the youth remained motionless, allowing the spear to stab into his back repeatedly. He was like an unmovable mountain as he pulled the little girl to his front while he withstood all the storms that ravaged his back.

“Ah—”

As Cherryblossoms’s tears instantly breached her levees, she found that the youth’s arms were hugging the little girl, seemingly holding up the sky with his not very wide shoulders. His delicate and tenacious face emitted a gentle smile, forming a stark contrast with Hongyue’s ferocious and hideous expression.

The only thing that stood between the chaotic spear storm behind the youth and the serenity in front of him was his thin body; yet, they appeared to be two different worlds. In the youth’s embrace, the little girl was completely extricated from the wanton blasts just inches away.

This scene was just too shocking. It caused the guards to turn dumbfounded as they subconsciously lowered their spears.

The youth who had given them endless animosity and killing intent had actually ignored his own safety to protect their princess with his own body. Was there anything more ridiculous than this?

Boom!

The intense explosions were accompanied by the sound of an item snapping. Hongyue’s spear had suddenly cracked in response, disrupting her relentless attack.

Hongyue looked in disbelief at the youth’s naked back. The skin had turned from green to fair white and did not even leave behind any mark!

Her all-out attack to the point of snapping her spear had failed to even penetrate the youth’s skin!?

“Stop fighting!”

That world which had suddenly halted was shattered by the childlike sobs. Hongyue jolted out of her reverie and finally saw the girl who the youth was desperately protecting.

Thud!

The cracked spear fell from her hand, along with her soul that was consumed by hatred.

“Sorry…”

Hongyue bowed her head deep as tears of regret dripped to the ground.

At that moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the city walls with an intense suppressive might.

“Are you done with your nonsense?”

Everyone looked up the city wall and saw Pixie Queen Heermann standing there. Her cold and overbearing voice caused the air to turn still and silent.

“Your Majesty!”

The pixie guards hurriedly lowered their heads and bent their backs. The pixies did not need to kneel to the queen, but unless the queen gave them permission, they were not to have their heads up to look straight at the queen.

“Mommy…”

Little Kali looked up at her mother. Her weak gaze met Heermann’s cold gaze as though she was suffering the harshest admonishment. Little Kali, who had never been able to share a close relationship with her mother, subconsciously hid behind the youth’s back.

“Hmph!”

Heermann grunted coldly as she turned increasingly displeased with her daughter. A pixie princess being close to a human? That was unprecedented and ludicrous!

Although the human youth appeared rather special, a human was still a human. Regardless of the kind of noble skin they wore or the lofty bearing they showcased, it was impossible to hide their intrinsically corrupted soul.

“Take this human to This Queen’s palace. Granny wants to meet him.”

Heermann gave Shi Xiaobai a cold glance and gave the order before leaving. Dressed in an exquisite white taffeta dress, her back figure when she left was just charming and elegant.

After Heermann left, there was immediately an uproar among the pixies.

“No way! Her Majesty who hates humans the most has allowed this human to enter her palace?”

“Her Majesty said that Granny wants to meet him. Regardless of how ridiculous a request from Granny is, Her Majesty will definitely obey.”

“Why would Granny want to meet this human? Could it be that he’s truly special?”

Shi Xiaobai was somewhat surprised. He never expected that he could enter the pixie city so “smoothly.”

“Will you be leading the way?”

Shi Xiaobai glanced at Cherryblossoms and asked with a whisper.

Cherryblossoms was taken aback as she puffed her cheeks and said angrily, “Usually, you won’t be allowed to enter the city. This time, it’s… luck! Yes, if you weren’t lucky, you wouldn’t have stood a chance!”

The girl suddenly flared up, mainly because none of the threats she had used against the youth while urging him to leave had come to fruition. She felt embarrassed, but she soon led the way.

The guards made way on their own initiative. To be honest, they no longer had the intention to stop him. Besides, Captain Hongyue could do nothing to him, so there was little meaning to attempting to stop him.

Shi Xiaobai held the little girl’s hand and followed behind Cherryblossoms as he slowly walked into Pixie City.

…

…

After passing through the city gates, he was ushered into a bustling city. The pixies on the streets looked at the human who shouldn’t have appeared in Pixie City in shock. Amid their wary gazes, they saw the youth holding their young princess’s hand. Her head was obediently bowed as Cherryblossoms kept explaining and apologizing. All the pixies managed to resist the urge to suddenly assault Shi Xiaobai.

After walking straight for about ten minutes, they came before a forest. A dense forest was surprisingly grown within Pixie City.

As he slowly passed through the dense forest, everything suddenly brightened for hidden behind the dense forest was an elegant palace.

Sunlight warmly bathed everything as golden rays illuminated the palace eaves, reflecting bedazzling light. The four corners of the palace was held up by grayish-white marble columns as it stood firmly and silently amid the gentle breeze. In between the marble columns, were stone steps that had a indistinct veil over it. It allowed the breeze to blow at it as it fluttered in the wind. The silver veil and the sun’s rays added to each other’s beauty, presenting a riot of five colors.

Not far away, there was a fountain spewing out water, turning into a green belt that circled around the palace before flowing into the depths of the forest. The fountain water suffused sparkling points of light that looked gorgeous. Everything was that serene and tranquil.

It was a palace built within the jungle.

Cherryblossoms stopped in her footsteps and turned to say, “This is Her Majesty’s palace. Go on in yourself. Without Her Majesty’s permission, we can only wait outside for you.”

Shi Xiaobai nodded as he gently ruffled the little girl’s purple hair and walked forward.

The guard captain, Lotus, who was guarding by the palace doors looked deeply at Shi Xiaobai, hoping to determine what was special about the youth. She found the youth’s origins a mystery; yet, he had been summoned by Granny and was even engaging in a conversation that the queen could not eavesdrop.

Creak!

Shi Xiaobai slowly pushed open the palace’s heavy door.

In the opulent and bright palace, there was a figure standing in the middle of the palace. She was none other than Granny. Her back faced the main door as her soft silver hair reached her waist. Beneath her black dress, her slender figure which was curvy in the right areas made her even more beautiful and graceful than the queen.

This is Granny?

Shi Xiaobai looked ahead as the palace doors suddenly closed automatically behind him.

“The apocalypse will come soon.”

The soft and beautiful voice sounded as pleasant as a lark’s. Granny had only said one line, but she had gone straight to the point without beating about the bush.

Shi Xiaobai stopped in his footsteps. The reason why he had insisted on coming to Pixie City was to determine if this world was the world from ten thousand years ago when it had yet to experience the apocalypse. Granny’s words seemed to confirm his guess.

Shi Xiaobai fell silent for a moment before saying softly, “This King knows that it wouldn’t be long before this world will experience the first apocalypse. When that happens…”

“No, I’m not talking about this world.”

Granny interrupted Shi Xiaobai and sighed lightly. “The apocalypse I’m talking about refers to your world which is also… the world ten thousand years later.”
