OUTSIDE OF TIME

1447 Nervous, Regretful, Weary (1)

While this voice was faint, it carried an inexplicable chill. When it landed in Xu Qing’s ears, he felt like his mind had turned into a glacier.

It was as though a piece of ice had appeared out of thin air in his soul.

This ice emitted waves of coldness that spread out from Xu Qing’s soul and affected all his perception, causing him to seem to have lost all warmth at this moment.

Only the coldness penetrated everything.

Every letter in the voice was like a curse, stirring Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness along with the cold air. At this moment, the divine source in his entire body lost its vitality like stagnant water.

Under the enhancement of these layers of coldness, it seemed like he was going to be frozen to death.

This feeling caused Xu Qing’s consciousness to stagnate. However, a breath before his consciousness turned blank, Xu Qing used the last trace of his divine sense to stimulate the Golden Crow in his body.

At the next instant, the Golden Crow’s cry echoed in Xu Qing’s mind.

This voice seemed to be summoning.

It summoned the sun from Xu Qing’s body.

Hence, Xu Qing’s body was like a world. The sun in this world rose into the air and illuminated his soul!

Black flames instantly erupted. After burning the entire area, ten rays of Profound Sun Immortal Light Technique rose as well, emitting endless light and heat.

At this moment, the sunrise in his sea of consciousness shone brightly.

The instant it came into contact with the coldness, a soft laugh echoed in Xu Qing’s ears.

“Little brother, remember my warning. Also, what your friend said is wrong. I’m not some ghost. If he curses me again, I’ll take him away.”

This voice was inexplicable, as though it was filled with deep meaning. After it rang out, it was unknown if it was the power of the sun in Xu Qing’s body or if the little girl had changed its mind, but the chill on Xu Qing’s back rapidly dissipated.

The laughter in his ears also gradually faded away.

At the next instant, the darkness in front of Xu Qing’s eyes and the coldness in his heart were completely ignited by flames.

The cold was burned and his perception returned.

The moment his vision recovered, Xu Qing’s breathing became hurried and he abruptly turned his head.

There was nothing behind him.

Only Erniu, who wasn’t far away, had turned into an ice sculpture.

However, there was heat coming from Erniu’s body that was filled with the fragrance of tea. It was resisting the cold and gradually melting the ice.

That tea was given to him by Jade Flowing Dust.

Sensing that his eldest senior brother was fine for the time being, Xu Qing forcefully suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and controlled the great wing to speed up. After about fifteen minutes, he bypassed this ruined area.

When he was far away, his face was pale. He turned his head and took one last look at the faintly discernible ruins that were drowned in the darkness in the distance.

Regarding this outer sea, his vigilance became even stronger.

“What kind of god is that?”

Xu Qing’s heart palpitated. He had seen many gods but the feeling that the little girl gave him seemed to be related to gods but not exactly.

“And during that last moment, my immortal light might have some effect but it seems… like it took the initiative to leave. Why is that?”

“As for it saying that it’s not a ghost like my friend mentioned…”

Xu Qing remained silent. He glanced at the ice sculpture where the captain was and waved his hand. The immortal light in his body spread out and landed on the ice sculpture.

Gradually, the ice melted. After over ten minutes, it finally completely melted. Erniu’s eyes suddenly opened. The first thing he did was to suck in the cold air that came from the melting ice.

Under this inhaling, Erniu’s entire body trembled, and frost appeared on his brows and hair.

Cold was his usual method, and the danger this time didn’t seem to be able to suppress Erniu’s greed. Even though his body showed signs of freezing again, he still swallowed the mouthful of chilly air forcefully.

However, at the next instant, Erniu’s expression changed and he suddenly vomited violently.

What came out was countless withered and rotting hair.

As soon as those hairs fell, they turned into cold air and dissipated.

After vomiting for a long time and finally vomiting out all the hair, Erniu had lingering fears and sat down unsteadily.

“I miscalculated. This isn’t chilly energy. It’s a mixture of demise energy and corpse energy. It’s stinky and is of benefits at all!”

“What the hell is that gho…”

Erniu clutched his stomach and looked at the ruins behind him. Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qing hurriedly interrupted him.

“It told me to tell you that if you curse at it again, it’s going to take you away.”

When Erniu heard this, he took a deep breath and instantly shut up.

He was bewildered. He recalled that when the little girl transformed its head to look at them earlier, he had indeed instinctively thought to himself, ‘What kind of ghostly thing is this…’

‘Did it come because of my one thought?’

‘So petty?’

Erniu hesitated.

At this moment, the one who was even more hesitant than Erniu was Jade Flowing Dust.

Hidden in the void, He stared at the ruins with a solemn expression.

What He saw was different from the scene Xu Qing and the captain had seen earlier.

Those ruins weren’t ruins at all.

Instead, it was countless strands of tresses intertwined together, forming a hairball…

Decay, withering, and stench spread here.

As for the little girl, it was a figure woven from a massive amount of hair, exuding endless malevolence, staring at Jade Flowing Dust.

‘I wonder if it’s because of Xu Qing’s specialness or that bull’s specialness that it actually attracted this thing…’

Jade Flowing Dust hesitated for a moment but chose to be amicable. Hence, He separated a silver of his godly source, transforming it into a cup of tea, and sent it floating toward the little girl.

“Please have some tea.”

The little girl grinned and a large amount of tresses spread out from its body. After wrapping around the teacup, it fused back into the ball of hair and disappeared.

Just like that, time passed again.

Although Erniu vomited a lot, it was obvious that his stomach was still damaged. In the next half a month, his entire body was turning black and long rotting tresses grew from his body.
