Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

Chapter 213 Reconciliation

Almost instinctively, Song Ruyu held Lan Xinlan tightly in her arms.

next second.

Without hesitation, she activated her hidden skill, instantly rewinding time to thirty seconds earlier.

She scooped up Lan Xinlan, who had just bitten her lower lip and said, "We are enemies now," and then turned and smashed the glass.

He jumped from the second floor.

"Huh?"

Lan Xinlan gasped in surprise, her body reacting before her brain, instinctively reaching out to wrap her arms around her neck.

Sharp shards of glass grazed Song Ruyu's cheeks and arms, leaving thin streaks of blood.

She didn't even frown.

He gently carried Lan Xinlan and landed on the ground.

Without stopping, he took off running towards the distant high ground.

Rumble, rumble—!

A deafening roar exploded behind us.

The entire hotel was instantly buried by the collapsing ceiling.

The direction of the distant snow-capped mountains.

A white behemoth, hundreds of meters tall, suddenly emerged from the ground.

It let out a piercing shriek that shattered the clouds.

"What...what is that?"

Lan Xinlan's face turned pale as she gripped Song Ruyu's collar tightly.

But the next second, she suddenly realized, "Oh no! Jiang Ling is still inside the snow mountain..."

"Now is not the time to worry about him."

Song Ruyu gritted her teeth, her pace undiminished: "That guy... is ridiculously strong. He won't die. On the contrary, if we don't run faster, we're going to be in big trouble!"

Before he could finish speaking...

The ground beneath my feet began to tremble violently.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread from all directions.

Deep within the fissure, thick, red magma surged, and the pungent smell of sulfur mixed with the scorching heat hit us.

Scalding magma gushed out from the cracks in the ground.

The flames licked the cold air, melting the snow instantly and sizzling as they burned the ground.

The terrain here is naturally low-lying.

All the cracks and lava were spreading rapidly toward them.

If we don't run up the cliff ahead...

When the ground completely collapses.

This place will instantly turn into a boiling lava lake!

"I'm sorry, Alan."

Song Ruyu's voice trembled slightly from the strong wind, "Right now... I'm afraid we can't become 'enemies' yet."

"If you hate me, can you wait until we both survive before you start to hate me?"

Lan Xinlan bit her lower lip, just about to say something, when a gust of wind carrying scorching volcanic ash rushed towards her.

"not good!"

Lan Xinlan's expression changed drastically. Her mind raced in an instant, considering factors such as wind speed, airflow, the viscosity of volcanic ash, and its diffusion rate...

Countless data points were rapidly processed in my mind.

Ultimately, a despairing conclusion was reached: "No, even if we run at full speed now, it's still more than ten seconds too late; there's no way we can avoid this volcanic ash..."

Song Ruyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lan Xinlan with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Alan, my hidden skill is time reversal, which can rewind up to thirty seconds."

"You've always been smarter than me, and your mind works faster than mine. Whether we can escape or not is all up to you."

"Also, I can actually always decide who can retain memories in my memory replay field, but this permission can only be permanently bound to one person."

"Huh?" Lan Xinlan stared at her blankly, not quite understanding.

I've made up my mind—I choose you.

Song Ruyu looked into her eyes and said, word by word:

"From now on, you will be forever immune to my time travel, retaining all memories from before the time travel, becoming the second person who knows everything about me."

[Time Rewind - The Loser Bites the Dust!]

Lan Xinlan watched helplessly as everything around her rushed backward.

The flying gravel returned to the ground.

The surging lava receded into the crevice.

Even the volcanic ash that rushed towards them was swept back.

Ultimately, everything returned to where they had started thirty seconds earlier, when they had just stepped onto this flat ground.

"Alan!" Song Ruyu's voice instantly pulled her back from her daze.

"Now, run east! Turn north immediately after 100 meters!"

Lan Xinlan snapped back to reality, her brain racing, and she calmly issued the command.

"knew!"

In the face of life and death, all barriers and awkwardness are thrown to the back of one's mind.

Only through cooperation can we find a glimmer of hope!

Song Ruyu gritted her teeth, carried Lan Xinlan on her back, and staggered but did not stop. She followed Lan Xinlan's instructions and moved around on the cracking ground.

Lan Xinlan, who was lying on her back, was working at top speed.

A completely safe route must be calculated within just a few seconds.

It's not just about calculating the current cracks.

They also need to predict the collapse, volcanic ash, and lava fragments that will appear in the next few tens of seconds.

Finally, they reached the bottom of the cliff.

With her last ounce of strength, Song Ruyu slammed Lan Xinlan, who was on her back, against a solid, protruding rock on the cliff face.

He then reached out and grabbed a nearby rock.

The continuous time rewinding and extreme escape had already exhausted her physical and mental strength. With a slip of her fingertip, she instantly lost her balance.

Like a stone with a broken string, it plummeted into the abyss below, where lava surged.

Just as she fell.

Snapped!

Two little hands were clasped tightly together.

Without hesitation, Lan Xinlan leaned out most of her body and grabbed her wrist tightly.

Her fair face turned red from holding on, and she gritted her teeth, using all her strength to refuse to let go.

"Alan..." Song Ruyu stared at her blankly, her heart feeling as if something was gripping it tightly.

"Ruyu... hold on tight! Come up together!" Lan Xinlan cried, but she refused to loosen her grip even slightly.

……

Not long after, a deafening roar came from behind.

The entire town collapsed completely, swallowed up by a steaming, black-smoke-filled underground lava pool.

The two women collapsed onto the hard rock at the top of the cliff, still shaken from their near-death experience, and gasped for breath.

All I could hear was the sound of our hearts pounding so hard they seemed to leap out of our chests.

The tension and awkwardness we felt just moments ago.

It vanished in an instant.

In a daze, they seemed to have returned to the days of many years ago.

"Alan," Song Ruyu spoke first, her voice still trembling slightly, "Thank you..."

"Huff... huff..."

Lan Xinlan shook her dusty blue ponytail and said breathlessly, "I should be the one saying thank you... If it weren't for Ruyu, I probably would have died long ago."

"And... as someone with supernatural abilities, you actually revealed such an important hidden skill to me, down to the last detail..."

Song Ruyu lowered her eyes, forced a smile, and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "So... are we still 'enemies' now?"

"Yes."

Song Ruyu's smile froze on her face, a pang of bitterness rising in her heart: "Alright..."

"Emotionally...yes."

Lan Xinlan buried her chin between her curled-up knees, her voice muffled, yet she spoke each word with exceptional clarity:

"Because...you and Alan both fell in love with the same person."

"But...Alan...actually...has always...um...wanted to make up with you, Ruyu..."

"Huh?" Song Ruyu suddenly looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly. She looked at her with surprise and delight. "Really?"

"Um."

Lan Xinlan raised her head, "Even if Ruyu said those hurtful things before, compared to those words, the things Ruyu did with me before, those beautiful memories... are more important."

I don't want to lose you, I don't want to lose my best friend.

"Besides, you just saved Alan. If it weren't for you, Alan would have been smashed into a pulp."

She reached out her dirty but unusually warm little hand and gently grasped Song Ruyu's equally scarred hand.

"Ruyu! Let's make up!"

"Um!"

Song Ruyu's tears welled up instantly, and she opened her arms and hugged her tightly.

The two girls embraced and wept. All the past misunderstandings and grudges vanished in that moment of facing life and death together.

Just then, another deafening roar came from the direction of the snow-capped mountain.

Looking up, they saw a colossal white dragon that blotted out the sky, its ten heads exploding all at once, its massive body limp and lifeless on the ground, raising clouds of snow and dust.

"Ah Ling did this?!" Lan Xinlan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

"It's probably him," Song Ruyu said, gazing at the direction of the snow-capped mountain with a complex expression, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

That guy... has gotten stronger again, and the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. When will I be able to surpass him and become the number one in the world?

However... the goal of stepping on his face was achieved, but the way it was achieved seemed a bit strange.

Not long after, a figure, accompanied by wind and snow, rapidly approached from the horizon.

Jiang Ling carried one in each hand, with Mei Yu, who was still unconscious, on the left and Hei Yu, who was unconscious, on the right, and landed steadily between Lan Xinlan and Song Ruyu.

He glanced at their tightly clasped hands, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled, "Oh, so you've made up already?"

Lan Xinlan blushed and subconsciously let go of his hand. Her gaze fell on the two almost identical girls on his shoulder, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Eh? How... how come there are two identical Miyu?!"

Jiang Ling didn't explain much, but simply whistled loudly.

The next second, a gilded motorcycle pierced the sky and came to a steady stop in front of everyone.

"Get on the train first, we'll talk about it when we get back to Sapporo."

……

A few hours later, at a hot spring hotel in Sapporo.

"Hmm...is the plot really that outrageous?" Lan Xinlan sat on the bed, hugging her knees. After listening to Jiang Ling recount the whole story, she was completely stunned and muttered to herself.

"I never imagined the Kujo family had done so much behind the scenes, and even had gods... There really are gods in this world..."

Lan Xinlan, who had just finished showering, was wearing a thin white nightgown, with a section of her smooth and delicate calves peeking out from under the hem. Her cute toes were slightly curled up because of nervousness.

On the bed next to her, Song Ruyu, also wearing the same nightgown, sat upright, equally dumbfounded as she listened.

Her snow-white hair clung wetly to her back, with a long strand hanging down and unconsciously tucked between her toes.

A short while later, the bathroom door opened, and Miyu and Kuroba came out after taking a shower. They changed into matching nightgowns and walked to the bed one after the other to sit down.

Kuroba lowered her head, still unable to adjust to the situation.

"So... this matter should be considered closed now, right?"

"Now that Indra is dead, the entire Kujo family is under my control!"

"Ah, that's true... With the Church of Inu gone, Alan's intelligence-gathering mission is also over."

"I've also obtained all the information about the Heavenly Fiend Insect Eggs that Jiang Ling gave me, so my mission is over."

"That……"

The four of them looked at each other and fell into an eerie silence.

Kuroba, looking down and playing with his fingers, muttered, "Hmm..."

Miyu glanced at Jiang Ling, then at the other girls, and said, "Hmm..."

Song Ruyu sat upright, her eyes darting around: "..."

Alan hugged the pillow, his toes curled up: "Uh..."

No one spoke anymore.

Ultimately, all four people present were rivals for love. The fact that they didn't fight on the spot was already a sign of a harmonious scene.

Time passed by, second by second, and the air was so quiet that you could hear each other's soft breathing.

And the faint sound of traffic flowing through Sapporo at night outside the window.

Finally, Jiang Ling broke the awkward atmosphere and said in a serious tone, "Alright, stop staring at each other. I have something very important to announce."

The four girls all looked up at him in unison, staring at him curiously.

"Now, we need to completely remove the Heavenly Fiend Insect Eggs from Kuroba's body, and the toxins that are suppressed in Miyu's body also need to be eradicated in one go."

Song Ruyu and Lan Xinlan exchanged a glance and instantly understood, their cheeks flushing bright red.

Lan Xinlan quickly pulled Song Ruyu off the bed and walked towards the door with her head down, saying, "Then... then Ruyu and I won't disturb you any longer. You two can continue your treatment..."

"Wait a minute," Jiang Ling called out to them.

"Huh?"

"You two just ran all that way, you must have inhaled a lot of toxic gases and dust from the volcanic eruption, right?"

Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow. "Perfect, I have enough treatment materials."

He paused, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and added:

"Don't worry, I can treat all four of you at the same time."

"Then, without further ado."

"For everyone's health and a bright future..."

"Shall we... begin now?"
