　　As Yu Runkai turned around, Li Yiming put Shao Xian down slowly. It took a bit for time for her to recover from everything that has happened thus far.

　　"How's the situation?" Li Yiming turned toward Chen Quan.

　　"I don't know. When I came here with her, the fat guy was already here." Chen Quan shrugged his shoulder and retained his composure. He was able to keep calm despite all the supernatural happenings, owing to his many years of experience in dealing with the dead and the extraordinary.

　　"You? Fang Shui'er was your princess?" Li Yiming looked at Fang Shui'er with wide eyes, reminiscing the hot kiss between him and Shao Xian. 'Don't tell me the same happened between Fang Shui'er and…'

　　"I don't know. Fang Shui'er fell from the window of the castle when I cleared the level. Yu Runkai was already here when we arrived, but he was alone…" Chen Quan whispered into Li Yiming's ear.

　　'Alone…' Li Yiming frowned.

　　"Did you really think that this was a playground? The more people, the more burdening the task…" Yu Runkai said while staring at Chen Quan and Shao Xian as their whispering did not escape his attention.

　　'Burden… Then his princess…' A s.h.i.+ver ran down Li Yiming's spine as he surmised what happened to the unfortunate person that Yu Runkai was supposed to rescue. He stepped forward and interposed himself between Yu Runkai and his two friends.

　　"Whether he wants to bring people along is entirely up to him. If you have the energy to spare, why don't you help us find a way out of here?" Fang Shui'er emptied her drink and put the bottle back into her storage ring.

　　"You mean, we can't just walk out of here?" Li Yiming asked Fang Shui'er while keeping his attention on Yu Runkai for precautionary measures.

　　"There's some kind of invisible barrier up in the front." Chen Quan pointed ahead.

　　Li Yiming looked in the direction Chen Quan pointed at and found an endless range of mountains and cliffs. Not too far away was a spherical building made of blue, semi-transparent gla.s.s, along with two giant stone sculptures.

　　"A boundary, no doubt." Fang Shui'er wiped her hands as she flashed a gentle smile.

　　"Alright. Well, it seems like we'll just have to clear this level like the previous ones. s.h.i.+t, who would have thought that the wok cap was a key…" Yu Runkai spat on the ground.

　　"No threats so far, but we should be careful…" Fang Shui'er concealed her emotions.

　　"Regardless, we fight together for now…" Li Yiming looked back at Yu Runkai. He had the strange feeling that the latter harbored hostile feelings toward him ever since seeing him for the first time aboard the cruise s.h.i.+p.

　　"Of course, our interests are aligned, for now. But don't expect me to take care of those two…" Yu Runkai looked at Chen Quan and Shao Xian with disdain.

　　"You won't need to." Li Yiming frowned, the remark having once again worsened his impression of Yu Runkai.

　　"The boundary is gone…" Fang Shui'er suddenly said.

　　"Oh? So we can get out of here?" Chen Quan was brave enough to be the first one to walk out, and the others followed suit. The group stopped right next to the crystal structure, taking some time to examine it closely.
