At this moment, the Soul-Devouring Vine was like an innocent youth who had a crush on his goddess. It was a little shy and nervous.
There was no sign of the ferocious coldness that it had when it was devouring life.
Huanhuan couldnât help but ask, âXing Chen used to know the Divine Wood?â
The system said, âYes.â
âSo, weâre seeing Xing Chenâs memories now? He seemed to have a good relationship with the Divine Wood.â
âEverything here is fake. Itâs an illusion created by his wishful thinking.â The system pulled Huanhuan behind him. âNow is a good chance to kill the Soul-Devouring Vine.â
He raised his right hand and threw out a golden fireball!
The fireball quickly flew toward the Soul-Devouring Vine!
The Soul-Devouring Vine was talking to the Divine Wood at this moment. It was filled with joy at being given a flower. It did not expect someone to ambush it.
The fireball hit the Soul-Devouring Vine.
With a bang, it exploded. Sparks flew, and the Soul-Devouring Vine quickly burned.
The flames instantly spread. The Divine Wood and the world were swallowed by the flames, forming a huge burning sea of fire.
Huanhuan stood in the sea of fire with the system, but she didnât feel any heat or pain.
She thought the Soul-Devouring Vine had been burned to ashes, but she saw a familiar figure slowly walking out of the sea of fire.
It was Xing Chen.
He maintained his youthful appearance. On his young and exquisite face, his amber eyes were very beautiful. His grayish-white short hair was slightly curled, making him look a little dazed and cute.
Just by looking at his appearance, he really looked like an innocent little angel.
However, it was obvious to Huanhuan that he was not an angel.
He was a demon.
Xing Chen was wearing a wide black robe. Because he was so small, the hem was dragged behind him. The robe drooped at the shoulders, and the sleeves covered his hands.
It took him a lot of effort to pull his sleeves away. He clumsily stretched out his hands toward Huanhuan. âMiss, come with me, okay?â
The cuter he was, the more afraid Huanhuan was.
At this moment, she was so afraid that her hair stood on end. She quickly shrank back. âNo, no. I donât want to stay here. You should find someone else to play with you.â
Xing Chen stared at her stubbornly. âI donât want anyone else. I just want you.â
When his fingers were about to touch Huanhuan, the system grabbed his wrist.
The system said, âShe canât go with you.â
Countless black vines emerged from Xing Chen palm and wrapped around the systemâs entire arm.
The vines tried to burrow into the systemâs body.
But none of them were successful.
Only then did Xing Chen look at the beast in front of him. His amber eyes were filled with confusion. âAre you the prophet?â
The system shook off the black vines. âYou shouldnât have left the Sea of Illusions.â
Xing Chen smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes. They were terrifyingly cold. âI can go wherever I want. No one can control me.â
As soon as he finished speaking, countless black vines grew under his feet.
They spread in all directions at high speed, extinguishing the golden flames.
In the blink of an eye, the entire sea of fire was extinguished.
Only the black vines were left.
Xing Chen took a step forward. âThis is my territory. Even if youâre the prophet, donât even think about meddling in things here.â
The black vines wrapped around the systemâs legs and quickly climbed up, wanting to devour him.
The system gently brushed against the vines and chanted softly, âGod said, let there be light.â
Golden light scattered from his fingertips. With a whoosh, it spread out with an overwhelming aura!
When the black vines touched the light, they immediately curled up and retreated.
Huanhuan touched the light. It felt warm and very comfortable.
But Xing Chen said, âThereâs no light in this world. Thereâs only darkness.â
The black hole spread out from under his feet and quickly expanded. Countless bone claws reached out and grabbed the systemâs ankles, trying to drag him into the endless abyss.
The system ignored the bone claws under his feet and remained as steady as a mountain. âGod saw that light was good and separated light and darkness.â
The light formed countless points of light that flew into the air and landed on the system.
His body glowed a warm, brilliant gold in the darkness.
The moment the bone claws touched him, they melted.
Xing Chen stared at his bright and holy face. Suddenly, his red lips curled into a devilish smile. âAre you really the prophet? I was almost fooled by you, imposter.â
His right hand turned into several black vines that grabbed at the systemâs face!
The vines paused for a moment when they touched the golden light, but then they continued to extend forward, forcefully passing through the lightâs obstruction.
The systemâs expression changed slightly. He pulled Huanhuan back quickly.
Xing Chen said, âYou canât leave.â
Countless black vines surged toward the system. Many of them melted from the heat of the systemâs light, but then more vines pounced on him.
Soon, the system was completely devoured by the black vines!
Huanhuan wanted to save him, but Xing Chen grabbed her wrist.
He looked up and smiled innocently. âIâve been looking for you, Miss.â
Huanhuan struggled. His arms looked thin, but he was surprisingly strong. She couldnât break free.
Xing Chen hugged her waist and pressed his cheek to the front of her stomach. He smiled happily. âYouâre finally back. From now on, weâllââ
He stopped abruptly before he could finish.
His eyes widened in disbelief.
At this moment, there was a bone knife stuck into his chest.
Huanhuan had stabbed him in the chest when he wasnât paying attention.
She was so nervous that her fingers were trembling. She stammered, âIâm sorry. I-I have to kill you to get out of here.â
Xing Chen stared at her face. His amber eyes were quickly dyed black, looking like two holes that had lost their pupils. His pale face emitted wisps of black smoke. âYou canât run.â
Huanhuan broke free from his arms and ran in the direction of the system without hesitation.
Xing Chenâs voice came from behind.
âYou can only belong to me, alive or deadâ¦â
The illusion quickly collapsed and dissipated. The vines were all gone, and the systemâs figure reappeared in Huanhuanâs vision.
She flew into the systemâs arms.
âLittle Brat! I did it. I killed Xing Chen!â
The system caught her, looking very tired. âYou did well.â
The environment completely disappeared, and Huanhuan realized that she and the system were floating in the sky above the Sea of Illusions.
There was a small island in the middle of the sea with Huanhuanâs corpse lying on it.
Huanhuanâs eyes widened. âMy body is here!â
Xing Chen walked out of the sea. He walked toward her corpse, leaving a trail of wet footprints behind him.
He lowered his head and kissed Huanhuanâs face,
Huanhuan witnessed this scene with her own eyes. Her scalp was about to explode.
Damn! This guy didnât even let her corpse go. He was even more perverted than Xue Ling!
