Lin Ci smiled, stood up, and picked up his wine glass.
The two wine glasses touched lightly in the air, producing a crisp sound.
Hades tilted his head back, downed the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp, and his eyes became slightly moist.
The atmosphere at the banquet was cheerful and lively.
While everyone's attention was focused on the singing and dancing, Lin Ci quietly walked up to Hades.
"Why did you tell me to leave quickly when that masked man came?"
His voice was low.
"Do you know something?"
Hades' hand, holding the wine glass, paused slightly in mid-air.
The smile on his face faded slightly, and his expression became somewhat complicated.
He remained silent for a moment before shaking his head.
"Brother, trust me, I won't hurt you."
There was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"But I really can't say about this."
Lin Ci looked at him but didn't ask any further questions.
He simply nodded.
"Okay, I won't ask anymore."
A flicker of emotion crossed Hades' eyes as he raised his glass once more.
"brother……"
The two downed another glass of wine.
Just then, a slender figure walked over.
Long Ying stood quietly beside Lin Ci, holding a wine glass.
There was a hint of sadness in those clear, cold eyes.
"Brother Lin Ci, are you leaving?"
Lin Ci was slightly taken aback.
"how do you know?"
Long Ying glanced at Tara, who was bragging to the Whale Shark King not far away.
“Tara said so.”
Lin Ci rubbed his temples in exasperation.
He looked at Long Ying and did not deny it.
Long Ying's eyes instantly reddened.
"Can you take me with you?"
There was a hint of pleading in her voice.
Lin Ci fell silent.
He looked into Long Ying's expectant eyes, but ultimately shook his head.
"There is no way."
The light in Long Ying's eyes visibly dimmed.
But she quickly cheered up and forced a smile.
"It's ok."
"I just hope Brother Lin Ci can come back and visit me when he has time."
"I will always wait for Brother Lin Ci."
Lin Ci looked at the sensible Long Ying and chuckled.
Long Ying could no longer hold back and threw herself into Lin Ci's arms.
She buried her face deep in his chest, feeling the last warmth.
Lin Ci woke up very early.
He found the chubby little boy who was still a bit sleepy.
"Little Fatty, wake up."
Miao Tiaojun rubbed his eyes, looking completely bewildered.
"Senior Lin Ci, what's wrong?"
Lin Ci smiled.
"There's one last thing I need to do before I leave."
He reached out and put his hand on the chubby boy's shoulder.
"I'll borrow your special energy for a moment."
Although Miao Tiaojun didn't understand, he immediately mobilized the alien energy within his body.
A pure green energy, used for traversing time and space, instantly surged into Lin Ci's body.
Lin Ci closed his eyes, and the system quickly analyzed the energy.
Soon, a unique spatial coordinate that had never been touched before was successfully located.
Lin Ci grabbed the chubby boy's shoulders, a thought forming in his mind.
The two figures vanished from the spot in an instant.
When they reappeared, they had arrived in a strange space.
There is no sky or earth here; all around is crystal-clear lake water, stretching to the horizon.
Only in the very middle of the lake sits a small, isolated island.
An old turtle with a green shell on its back and wearing a straw hat is leisurely sitting on the shore fishing.
Lin Ci looked at that figure, a playful smile playing on his lips.
They've been using the name of their elder, Xuan Yizi, for so long.
This time, I finally met him in person.
The chubby boy next to him widened his eyes the moment he saw the old tortoise.
Immediately afterwards, a scream like a pig being slaughtered was heard.
Startled by the shout, Xuan Yizi slowly turned his head.
Before he could even see who it was,
A huge spherical object, accompanied by a gust of wind, crashed hard into his arms.
Xuan Yizi reluctantly accepted the chubby boy's bear hug before turning his gaze to the young man in black beside him.
"Who is your Excellency?"
His voice was old and calm, carrying a sense of detachment from worldly affairs.
Lin Ci smiled slightly.
"I'm here to rescue you."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yizi shook his head, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
"That's impossible. There's no exit from the metaspace, unless..."
He hasn't finished speaking yet.
Lin Ci had already grabbed his arm.
When Xuan Yizi opened his eyes again, he was already standing in the plaza of the Underworld Palace.
He looked around at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, feeling the unique air of the underworld.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on his usually placid old face.
He suddenly looked at Lin Ci.
"This... what kind of power is this?"
"who are you?"
Lin Ci simply stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with an air of profound mystery.
"By all accounts, I should be your elder."

Xuan Yizi stood there, stunned.
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on his usually placid old face.
The young man in front of him had only grabbed his arm with a fleeting thought.
This power over space was beyond his comprehension.
Although the young man in front of me didn't say anything very convincing, his strength was indeed far superior to mine.
It's completely unfathomable.
Perhaps he truly is an ancient being who has lived for countless years, playing among mortals.
Thinking of this, Xuan Yizi put aside all his doubts and bowed respectfully to Lin Ci.
This sound came from the bottom of his heart.
