Chapter 1050 - 1049: Blessing in Disguise, Rapid Progress [5]

The little ginger snake detected Bai Chi’s abnormality and was about to report it when it suddenly convulsed, and the whole snake stiffened into a straight line, falling to the ground.

"Thud—" A faint sound.

Qin Xin knew something was wrong and stopped Si Moyu, who wanted to step forward: "Don’t move yet, this room is a bit strange."

Si Moyu pondered: "Those seniors behind us are also silent. Could it be they’ve already fallen for it? Is there some hidden mechanism in this room?"

Qin Xin: "Hmm. No need to go any further, let’s remain unchanged to handle all changes."

Si Moyu: "Alright."

In the darkness, the atmosphere inexplicably became much tenser.

Si Moyu pursed his lips. So many people had entered this small dark room, but now it seemed only he and Qin Xin remained conscious.

Perhaps this was destiny?

Are there some words that are just right to express at this moment of intimacy?

He smiled silently in the dark and slowly spoke: "Miss Qin, actually, I prefer calling you Miss Qin. How should I put it? Maybe it’s because that guy Nalan married you using the identity of Miss Qin."

"Back then, that fool couldn’t even recognize you as his sister. I saw it at a glance. Wouldn’t you call that fate?"

"And this eerie place, since we could come in together, yet that guy Nalan couldn’t, doesn’t it prove that I have a stronger connection with you?"

"In this small dark room, everyone else fell silently, but only you and I remain conscious. Our connection is unique..."

"My life was saved by you, so my life belongs to you in this lifetime."

"If we can’t go back, why don’t we just get married here, how about that?"

"If you think giving roses is too cliché, next time I’ll give you something else, how about Spiritual Pearls? I’ll gather bunches and bunches of Spiritual Pearl bouquets here for you, lay down a Spiritual Pearl carpet for you..."

"Rest assured, I, Si Moyu, was born a businessman. Even here, I can carve out an empire for you, and make you the high and mighty CEO wife..."

"Miss Qin?"

"Xin?"

Si Moyu poured his heart out.

Thinking he was deep and sincere, logically sound, profoundly moving, and even quite creative.

But he did not get a response from Qin Xin for a long time.

Only then did he realize something was wrong.

Could it be that Qin Xin hadn’t heard his confession at all?

Could it be that Qin Xin, like Ao Xinghao and them, also... was paralyzed?

Would it harm their bodies?

Would it... kill them?

He swallowed and then reached out in Qin Xin’s direction to touch her—no matter what, even if he fell for it too, even if it harmed his body or killed him, he wanted Qin Xin to infect him.

Everything she went through, he wanted to experience with her!

Just like when they jumped into the Time Gate, and into this world.

When had he ever hesitated?

Qin Xin also felt it, that soul-penetrating pain.

It was like a needle penetrating the soul, piercing her, pinning her firmly to the floor, unable to speak or move.

She faintly heard Si Moyu mentioning Mr. Nalan.

Her heart stirred slightly.

The man’s solid arms and warm embrace were like distant stars, even thinking about it made her heart feel overwhelmed.

Her whole body began to burn with pain.

As if an inexplicable force was tearing at her, coursing all through her body, making her restless.

At this moment, presumably, Ao Xinghao and the others were experiencing the same pain.

What on earth was happening?

Could anyone tell her if the punishment in this small dark room was truly cruel enough to take the lives of students?
