My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS-Chapter 835 - 413: Restricted Level 1003, Devour, Tomorrow

The night was deep, and the young man in the hoodie came from the mountaintop of the snow-capped mountain, entering Reykjavik, slowly passing by the neon lights of the signs and stepping over the dim wooden houses.

He finally arrived above the desolate harbor.

He looked up and saw a girl with a graceful face. She leaned against the railing, her arms crossed, turning her head to watch the aurora in the night sky, her black bangs swaying in the wind, and a lock of fiery red hair dancing behind her head.

"We haven't had a chance to sit down and chat properly," Lin Xingshi said without turning her head.

"Too many things have happened recently..." Little Nian said. "First, my old man suddenly went crazy with you guys, then your people got brainwashed by the Salvation Society, one thing after another."

"Yeah, no time for catching up, my brain is a mess." Lin Xingshi turned her head back.

"What's there to talk about?" Little Nian said. "Stuff from when we were ten, we weren't even grown up then."

"Actually, I'm curious... how did you, when you were not grown up, see me?" Lin Xingshi tilted her head.

"A good friend," Little Nian answered without hesitation.

"Too much. I saw you as family back then." Lin Xingshi crossed her arms, speaking faintly.

"You're human, I'm a demon, how could we be family?"

"You know?" Lin Xingshi thought for a moment, then smirked slightly, saying nonchalantly, "Back then, if I were a demon and you were an exorcist, I would have made a pact with you and run away with you."

"Are you blaming me for not leaving with you back then?"

"No... I'm not that selfish. If we made a pact, you'd be stuck with me for life, which would be so dull." Lin Xingshi shook her head, "I was just saying, if I were a demon, I might have done that, but I never meant for you to do it."

"I suggest we stop talking about the past and focus on the present," Little Nian said calmly.

"Now, in my eyes, you've been downgraded from family to a good friend." Lin Xingshi hummed, "After all, we haven't seen each other for ten years."

"Oh, and to me, you've been downgraded from a good friend to a stranger." Little Nian said.

Lin Xingshi shrugged slightly, "No way, once you're a good friend, you can't be downgraded."

Little Nian looked at her helplessly, "Stop it, we're not kids anymore. Let's talk about the Salvation Society."

Lin Xingshi was silent for a while, "The day after tomorrow, let's go explore that glacier, what do you think?"

"Yeah, that's what I was planning too, our two groups should watch each other's backs."

"So how are you going to convince the Zodiac Team? They're generally hostile towards Lake Hunting people."

"I'll tell them that we'll start fighting when we reach Hof Glacier, adhering to martial ethics," Little Nian said, "Then once we're there, I'll deceive them, saying that the Salvation Society is actually made up of Lake Hunting people, blah blah blah."

"Is it that easy to fool them?" Lin Xingshi asked.

"That's exactly how I'll fool them."

"Are demons really that dumb?"

"Just look at my old man, and you'll know."

"Makes sense."

Lin Xingshi nodded thoughtfully, and Little Nian nodded too. Then, the two suddenly burst out laughing, as if finding this conversation absurd.

"We'll set out tomorrow night," Lin Xingshi said, "Are you confident?"

"Why wouldn't I be, since we're joining forces?"

"I've heard that the Salvation Society people even possess mythical-level talents. I'm not sure."

"That's true."

"Looks like this trip is a near-death experience." Lin Xingshi shrugged, speaking with a sigh.

"Now that you know, are you still going?"

"Yes, I can't let Zhou Jiuya die so inexplicably. As his friend, I need to give myself an explanation; as the captain of Lake Hunting, I owe an explanation to my family." Lin Xingshi nodded, speaking slowly.

Little Nian looked at her silently, and then said, "It's okay, I'll protect you."

Lin Xingshi was stunned and glanced sideways at him. The two locked eyes.

"Ten years ago, you protected me from those people, now it's my turn to protect you."

"As expected of our Little Nian, you sure know how to talk. A few days ago, you greeted me with a swipe of your claws, making me unable to get out of bed for a whole night."

"The situation forced me, you were about to take down my old man, even if it was an act, I had to show a bit of something... and Zhou Jiuya wanted to kill me on the spot."

"True that."

The two exchanged a glance, lightly chuckled and then fell silent for a moment.

"See you tomorrow night, don't leave alone." After a while, Lin Xingshi spoke.

"I'll openly ride the Dragon Cat Demon and fly away from Reykjavik; you just follow along."

With that, Little Nian left the harbor without looking back. Lin Xingshi silently watched him leave.

She lowered her eyes, her hair, black mixed with red, was lifted by the sea breeze, swaying gently under the glow of the aurora. After a while, she looked up at the sky, her pupils reflecting Iceland's night sky, as breathtaking as the legends said.

....

....

One day later, at sunset on August 31st.

Inside a colorful wooden house at the Reykjavik harbor.

The huge floor-to-ceiling window faced the sea, and the sunset descended toward the horizon, gradually taking away the light that inclined upon the city. The last rays of dusk shone through the window onto Gu Wenyu's face, who was sitting on the floor in a daze.

On the big bed behind him, Su Zimai was lying asleep on the pillow.

After they finished lunch at noon and returned, Su Zimai just lay on the bed and fell asleep. Gu Wenyu knew she didn't want to make it difficult for him; the two had to say goodbye that day. Then he had to depart with the others to Iceland's Hof Glacier.
