All ends well.

Just at this moment.

"Crash!"

A fleeting whisper suddenly echoed in his mind.

It felt as though it was emanating from his soul.

Qin Deguang instinctively turned his head and immediately saw a hole on the ice surface that had appeared unnoticed.

Crystal-clear ice water rippled within it.

The next second.

A graceful, naked silhouette slowly floated up from the icy waters.

Qin Deguang was instantly dumbfounded.

It was none other than Anna.

She was the Bering girl he met when he traveled through the Bering Kingdom, staying with a local family.

"Qin!"

Anna called out charmingly with a smile.

Under the influence of some force, Qin Deguang started to believe this was indeed Anna herself.

As for why she suddenly appeared here, he didn't spare a thought.

Qin Deguang stared at Anna.

Anna smiled again and said, "Qin, you promised to take me back to Great Xia, right?"

Qin Deguang nodded forcefully: "Of course!"

With such a young and beautiful girl, just eighteen years old, he naturally wanted to take her back to have children.

Anna walked a few steps along the waves, revealing a sorrowful expression: "If one day I grew old, while you remained young, would you abandon me?"

Along with this sentence.

A bizarre scene appeared.

Anna began to age rapidly.

Just moments ago, her face was full of collagen, youthful vigor visible to the naked eye.

Now she had chicken skin and crane-like complexion, her hair and teeth were all gone, and the wrinkles on her face could pinch mosquitoes to death.

Qin Deguang looked on with goosebumps falling off.

Anna touched her face, her tone suddenly becoming sharp: "Qin, you tricked me, you have to be responsible, you must marry me and take me back to Great Xia."

Qin Deguang instinctively wanted to refuse.

Though he considered himself not a scoundrel who shirks responsibility, facing Anna like this, he truly lacked the courage to take off his pants.

Qin Deguang moved his lips, ready to say "I'm very sorry."

A trace of coolness suddenly arose in his mind, reminding him of the big boss's question earlier — Do you remember your promises?

Qin Deguang seemed to have a moment of enlightenment, gritting his teeth and saying: "Of course I will be responsible, I will marry you and take you back to Great Xia!"

Anna smiled: "Kiss me!"

The smile danced across her wrinkled face, looking quite eerie.

Qin Deguang took a bold step forward, closed his eyes, and leaned in directly for the kiss.

In the moment of touch.

Like a piece of cold ice.

Qin Deguang suddenly snapped awake.

He opened his eyes and was stupefied again.

Where was Anna?

What stood before him was clearly an ice sculpture, only its shape was uncannily like Anna, almost lifelike.

Qin Deguang recalled the entire process, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

No doubt about it.

Anna was a Rule Object.

In Vilita's eyes, it was an Ice Flower.

In his view, it appeared as Anna.

The big boss was utterly right!

Qin Deguang suddenly realized, had he refused earlier, his fate would surely be like Vilita's.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, sincerely thinking, "Thank you, big boss!"

If it weren't for the boss's reminder, he might have already perished beyond redemption.

And for the boss's foresight, he truly admired to the extreme.

Qin Deguang glanced at the headless corpse before grasping that it was definitely the boss's feigned death technique.

If the big boss hadn't died, the Rule Object wouldn't have appeared at all.

Qin Deguang walked over to the box left by the boss, flicked a Cold Whip to coil the box, throwing it towards the ice sculpture.

"Boom!"

The box smashed against the ice sculpture, instantly shattering into pieces.

Strange white misty shadows, all appearing as bizarre forms of monsters, emerged from the debris.

"Ah~"

Piercing wails echoed out.

Qin Deguang felt his scalp go numb, his body stiffening.

He suddenly had a thought: "Could these ghosts be the souls captured by the Mountain King Race?"

According to the boss, to acquire the Rule Object, an exchange is necessary, this is likely the Mountain King Race's prepared offering.

Only, these Mysterious Race members were slaughtered by the boss, and their offerings became his spoils of war.

At this moment.

The shadows seemed to realize the ice sculpture's danger, frantically trying to flee.

The ice sculpture vibrated with a "buzz."

White lines emerged, instantly entangling all the offerings, pulling them back inside the ice sculpture.

Then.

The wails vanished.

The ice sculpture seemed to savor the offerings, quieting down afterward.

"Woo~"

Only the cold wind swept by.

Qin Deguang breathed a sigh of relief.

His intuition told him the danger had passed.

Having gone through such a surreal and bizarre journey, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of unreality.

"Well done!"

A familiar voice suddenly came from behind.

Qin Deguang quickly turned around, immediately seeing the boss's figure.

He stood beside the headless corpse, nodding at him.

Qin Deguang hurriedly said: "Thank you, boss, for your guidance!"

Without the boss's support, even ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to lose.

He looked at the boss, then at the corpse, feeling an indescribable sense of strangeness.

This world is truly peculiar!

Qin Deguang sighed silently in his heart.

Yang Fan glanced at him and suggested, "You might want to check your back."

Qin Deguang paused for a moment, turned to look, but saw nothing.

"Snap!"
