Hat Dan Mei looked at me apologetically, "Little pervert, we really got you into trouble this time."

　　I scratched my head, "Those who know what's good for them are good at what they do, if we really can't, we can talk to the Demon Lord and them about conditions, such as only handing over one or two pieces of exotic treasures. After all, the map of the Autonomous Heaven is in our hands, we can blackmail them at any time."

　　Gan Lime Zhen took a deep breath, his complexion austere as cold snow, "It is better to have jade broken than to have it broken. I will not yield to the Demon Lord."

　　I said with a straight face, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Knowing that you can't beat them, it would be foolish to go ahead and strike a stone with an egg. In the past, Han Xin was humiliated at his crotch, and Gou Jie was a real character when he was lying down."

　　Hat Dan Mei's beautiful eyes widened, "Who are Gou Jian and Han Xin? Are they very famous?"

　　I casually babbled a few sentences and added: "To be a human being, you have to learn to be adaptable, and you can't be dead-eyed. Keep your life, so you can make a comeback."

　　Gan Lime Zhen stared at me, "Are you that afraid of death?"

　　I rubbed my frozen hands and said silently, "You wouldn't understand. When you are so hungry that you only have the strength to crawl on the ground, like a wild dog, shivering in pain, you will know that nothing is more important than living. To live, no matter if you are kicked, trampled, or cursed, you have to live, and live with clenched teeth. Sixteen years, that's how I've struggled through."

　　Clenching my fists, I said word for word, "Because when you're alive, there's hope."

　　Hai Ji let out a "yah" and looked at me compassionately, "Little scoundrel, were you always bullied in the other world?"

　　I twisted my head, my heart was gloomy, but my face was smiling, "I'm living a very comfortable life, although God wants me to die, I'm still alive and well."

　　By this time, the cold in the ice ball was too much for me, and snow-white frost had formed on my eyebrows. I shivered as the cold seemed to seep all the way into my heart and lungs.

　　Hai Ji looked at me worriedly, "Little Rascal, are you cold?"

　　I was just about to speak when I sneezed a few more times in succession. Hai Ji said, "You go inside the golden conch to avoid the cold." With a point of her finger on the golden conch, the mouth of the conch abruptly enlarged, and as I was about to drill in, the small ice ball outside turned rapidly, and the white cold air rapidly poured into the mouth of the conch, and it became just as cold inside the golden conch as it was outside.

　　Gan Lime Zhen shook his head, "It's useless, the cold of the Xuan Ice is pervasive."

　　Hai Ji smiled sadly at me, "I didn't expect that not only did we fail to protect you, but we also caused you to suffer."

　　"Laozi is not afraid of suffering. Not to mention that with a beautiful woman as my companion, my days are sweeter than honey." I laughed carelessly and couldn't help but shiver again.

　　Hat Dan Mei looked uneasy: "The cold of the Xuan Ice is very powerful, if it goes on like this, the little lecher will get a serious illness even if he doesn't die. One day and one night, I'm afraid he won't be able to make it through."

　　"Then what should we do?" Hai Ji anxiously said, hesitating for a while, red-faced, leaning towards me. We were close to each other, and her body was cold, and she was far from recovering after the Genji injury.

　　After a while longer, ice flowers began to condense on my skin, a thin layer, and the blood seemed to freeze. I shivered, unable to even speak very clearly. Haiji was close to me, but I didn't feel any warmth.

　　Hai Ji lowered her head, not daring to look at me, her elegantly bent snow-white neck flushed, "Little scoundrel, is it better? Is it any warmer?"

　　"I, am not cold." I said with difficulty, the white breath puffing out of my mouth immediately froze into ice. At this rate, I might freeze into a large icicle.

　　It was so cold.

　　Dazed and confused, I seemed to be falling asleep, it was really cold, that winter in Luoyang, that cold and broken house, I was freezing together with my dad.

　　After a long time of silence, Gan Lime Zhen sighed lightly and reached out to press his hand on the hilt of the sword. Hat Dan Mei said in surprise, "Fairy Gan, do you want to?"

　　Gan Lime Zhen nodded, "There is no choice but to break the formation immediately."

　　I fought with my teeth cackling, "No need, I, I can stand it."

　　Gan Lime Zhen looked at me silently for a moment, turned around, and said to Hat Dan Mei, "Lin Fei is in your hands. In case the enemy appears, take him with you and flee as far away as you can!"

　　I was shaken, "Hat Dan Mei take me, what about you and Hai Ji?"

　　"Don't worry about us!" Hai Ji resolutely said.

　　I was dumbfounded and screamed in horror, "No way! That way you and Gan Lime Zhen will both die!"

　　Gan Lime Zhen turned back to me and smiled faintly. The smile was like a blooming snow lotus, clear and stunning, I hadn't thought that the cold Gan Lime Zhen would be so beautiful when she smiled.

　　"As long as you can live. We all swore an oath to protect you no matter what." She calmly said, and with a "choking" sound, her long sword was sheathed.

　　A brilliant rainbow flashed by, and the snow-white figure swayed, blending into the light of that rainbow. Gan Lime Zhen unexpectedly merged with the Three Thousand Weak Water Sword! At this moment, she was a piece of gorgeously flowing weak water, and all over her body, crystals shimmered!

　　I anxiously yelled, "Gan Lime Zhen, there's no need to do this for me!"

　　"Lin Fei, I hope you can live well. You said that there's hope in living." Gan Lemon Zhen whispered and rushed out, towards the thick layer of ice, without looking back.

　　Glorious rays of light sprinkled down like fireworks.

　　Soundlessly, the fireworks were disillusioned, and the large ice ball was motionless.

　　"Bang!" A muffled sound came from outside, and a small ice ball violently exploded, followed by small ice balls exploding one after another, and the dozens of small ice balls that surrounded the outside went up in smoke.

　　"Creak!" A crack indistinguishable to the naked eye appeared on the large ice ball, and the crack continued to expand, spreading into hundreds of cracks. With a loud bang, the large ice ball cracked open.

　　We got out of the trap!

　　Gan Lime Zhen collapsed limply. I couldn't be bothered to rejoice and hurriedly supported Gan Lime Zhen, who had automatically separated from the Three Thousand Weak Water Sword, her long, pitch-black hair was scattered over her forehead, her palms were cold, and she was staring at me, unable to move a muscle.

　　Hat Dan Mei said in a deep voice, "Let's go before the other side comes!"

　　Hai Ji drove up the golden conch and sprinted all the way, the night sky was starless, the dark sea, white foam rolled over, and the cold wind whimpered and blew through.

　　I breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, Shui Liu Lang and the others are not there."

　　As soon as the words fell, maniacal laughter suddenly rang out from the front, and the three beauties and I glanced at each other, our hearts continuously sinking downwards.

　　It's over!

　　Shui Liu Lang ghostly surfaced out of the sea, staring at us closely. Behind him, Mirage Saburo stood with his arms folded and said to me in a good-natured manner, ''Little brother, I said we would meet again. It's really hard to say who the deer will be now, isn't it?"

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

　　Shui Liu Lang said smugly, "I had counted on the fact that you guys might forcefully break through the Condensed Water into Ice Formation, so I pre-emptively stood guard here. Now that your true essence is greatly depleted, you can only be obediently captured. However, even if you hide in the ice ball, when the Demon Lord comes tomorrow, it will be equally difficult to escape death."

　　Mirage Sanlang softly said, "Fairy Gan, looking at the weakness in your eyes, it is obvious that you have been seriously injured. I'm afraid it was you who forcibly broke through the Condensation Water Transformation Ice Formation."

　　Water Sixth Lang said, "It will be much easier to clean you up now." With a stroke of his hands, two waves rose up into the sky, transforming into giant claws that covered half of the sky.

　　Hai Ji clenched her teeth, "Hat Dan Mei, you take the little rascal and go, I'll block them!" Blowing into the mouth of the conch, only a few faint golden threads floated out, no longer capable of forming a chakra meridian net.

　　"This is one time, and this is another time. Everyone, don't put up any more pointless resistance." Mirage Saburo let out a long sigh, his body swelled, and his mirage brother drilled out of his forehead.

　　"Hurry up!" Hai Ji's flowery face said miserably.

　　"Hurry up." Gan Lime Zhen whispered.

　　"Hurry up!" Hat Dan Mei urged me, "Don't let Fairy Gan and Hai Ji die for you for nothing."

　　"Hurry up! Quickly go! Hurry!" The voice, one more urgent than the other, was like a clap of thunder that blasted into my heart. "Move! Move! Move!"

　　"This kid is probably scared silly, isn't he?" Shui Lukuro said mockingly, his two giant paws waving around in mid-air in a cat-playing-with-a-rat stance.

　　Mirage Saburo looked straight at me, showing a deep thought.

　　"Move! Move quickly! Move!" The raging waves around us seemed to quiet down all of a sudden. The gloomy faces of Shui Liu Lang, Mirage San Lang, and the pale faces of the beauties all seemed to be far away in an instant.

　　The waves rolled over, and the sea breeze, ruffled my snow-white lotus dress.

　　I stood, motionless.

　　This lotus dress is my new dress. I hadn't worn new clothes in years.

　　In the cabin, Hatanmei and I listened to the rain all night. There were many rainy nights when I huddled alone in a broken temple on the outskirts of Luoyang, shivering.

　　The kiss with Hai Ji, when I think of it now, I feel my heart beating. There have been a number of times when beautiful young girls have walked past me with expressions of disgust on their faces.

　　Turns out, I have so much now. Turns out, I have so many wonderful things to remember now. I smiled, and stood, facing Mizukuro and Mirage-san, and I was scared, but I stood, and didn't move a muscle.

　　I don't think I'll be able to be Hanshin for the rest of my life.

　　Slowly reaching out, untying the bag on my back, I threw the packet of jewellery, far out to sea!

　　As if abandoning dung!

　　"In this life, I have rarely been truly happy. I have given nothing to others, and others have given nothing to me." Sweeping my eyes over the three beauties, I slowly said.

　　"I am alive, but humble. A useless person who seems to be born with this kind of life." I tilted my head and looked at the sky, there were no stars.

　　But they used to shine in my eyes.

　　I laughed out loud, faced the sky, and opened my arms.

　　Tears came to my eyes.

　　I never gave up on even the darkest night sky, searching for starlight. For sixteen years, I lived and struggled, never giving up hope!

　　A mess of mud can also face the vastness of the sky!

　　Mizukuro and Mirage Saburo slowly approached. I was still motionless.

　　"Lin Fei, go away, don't do anything stupid!" Hai Ji said anxiously, trying to block in front of me, I gently pushed her hand away, and shook my head at Hatan Mei, who was rushing over.

　　"This time, I'm going to protect you all. Because, anyone has the right to live." I looked at them and smiled.

　　I smile with pride, not humble at all. I smile with a little bit of heartache and a little bit of happiness. I'm not that great, and I'm tempted to run away. But I know that if I run away, then for the rest of my life I will look down on myself.

　　In fact, I should have run away. I'm such a fool.

　　"Mizukuro, Mirage Saburo! Look at me!" I took a deep breath and slapped my chest, hard, "Your opponent, is me!"

　　Mirage Saburo was slightly stunned, and the brother on his forehead laughed strangely, "You? What kind of thing are you? I can play you to death just by blowing my breath!"

　　Reaching out like lightning, I pulled out the map of the Self-Existent Sky from Gan Lime Zhen's arms with one hand and unfolded it with both hands, "Water Sixth Lang, Mirage Third Lang! Look carefully, this is the map of the Self-Existent Heaven! The thing that your Demon Lord wants! Open your doggy eyes and look clearly!"

　　Mirage Saburo's eyes flickered, "Little brother, what do you want to do?"

　　I laughed out loud, "Old me is in a bad mood today, very bad. If I'm not careful, I'll tear up this map and make it impossible for you to deliver!"

　　Mirage Sanlang smiled faintly, "Little brother, you're a smart person, you wouldn't do such a stupid thing."

　　"You guys come with me, and this map will be given to you!" I roared, "As long as you guys say a single word of no, I will tear it apart immediately!"

　　I glared at them and said word for word, "I'd rather have my jade shattered than have it torn apart!"

　　Hat Dan Mei hissed, "Little pervert, don't be like this!"

　　I shook my head, "Hat Dan Mei, take care of Hai Ji and Gan Lime Zhen!"

　　"No!" Hai Ji was trembling, "No, no!" She tried to rush over and stop me, and I snapped, "Don't come over, don't come over to anyone! No matter who it is, I will turn my face away!"

　　Mirage Sanlang frowned slightly, "Little brother, let's have a talk."

　　I took a step backward, "Come on, you two follow me, slowly. Don't play tricks, if you dare to attack the three of them, don't blame me for being upset. Once I'm offended, I'll tear up this map and we'll all die in a fish trap! Hai Ji, Hat Dan Mei, don't come over here either, if you come over here, I'll tear up the map as usual!"

　　"Let him go." Gan Lime Zhen suddenly said in a trembling voice, Hai Ji tearfully looked at me and desperately shook her head, Hat Dan Mei tightly clenched her fists and suddenly twisted her head, her long hair fiercely flying.

　　Mirage Sanlang and Shui Liulang glanced at each other, and the former murmured, ''Little brother, as long as you hand over the map of the Self-Realising Sky, everything is negotiable. We'll listen to you, so tell us, what's it going to take?"

　　I hemmed and hawed and jumped down into the sea, my hands still holding the map aloft, my feet paddling backwards as I slowly swam out, "If you want the map, follow me over. That's right, slowly follow me over. Back up, back up! Don't get so close to me, you're not pretty girls, I'm not interested in making out with you."

　　I kept swimming backwards, Mirage Sanlang and Shui Liulang followed me closely, keeping a distance of about ten feet. The three beauties on the golden conch had become more and more distant. By the end of the day, they could no longer be seen. A huge stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
