Silver Wolf, having figured almost everything out, was feeling very annoyed. However, reasoning with the girl now was likely out of the question. Seeing Yunli catch the sword with both hands, she knew she was no match in a contest of pure strength.
Silver Wolf took the initiative, raising her foot and kicking Yunli away. Yunli flew backward after the blow to her abdomen, but she wasn't seriously hurt. Taking advantage of this opening, Silver Wolf began to manipulate the air with her left hand.
After landing from her flight, Yunli smoothly picked up Old Mettle again. But in the next moment...
In this magical game space, countless colorful light effects emerged along the boundaries of the space. Opposite her, Silver Wolf looked at Yunli in the center with disdainful eyes and slowly raised her right hand. With the snap of a command...
The space seemed to be activated, and countless light bullets swarmed from all directions like a meteor shower, firing at Yunli from a 360-degree angle with no blind spots. The light bullets wove into a light-tight net, tightly enveloping Yunli, as the entire space was shrouded in this brilliant radiance.
Yunli looked at the incoming hail of bullets; though her face remained calm, the beads of sweat on her brow betrayed her inner state.
"Hmph! Old Mettle, let's go!"
At this point, she could only go all out regardless of the consequences! Yunli gripped Old Mettle tightly with both hands and began to spin frantically like a top.
Clang! Clang! Clang!!!
The dull sounds of clashing metal rang out continuously in the space. In the center of the barrage, the spot where Yunli stood was like an ignited firework, bursting with dazzling light. Multi-colored particle effects splashed in all directions like meteors, dyeing the entire space into a brilliant dreamscape.
Silver Wolf watched the center of the firepower explosion with indifference throughout, a hint of disdain in her grey eyes. After the firepower lasted for a full minute, just as Silver Wolf was about to stop... she noticed that the temperature of the entire game space had begun to climb scorchingly without her realizing it.
Amidst the gorgeous particle light effects, a touch of orange-red flame gradually rose from the center.
"Sky-Cleaver, Mountain-Breaker!"
At that moment, an angry shout suddenly erupted from within. Yunli brandished Old Mettle, and a burning wave of air swept out. It completely crushed all the incoming light bullets.
Seeing this, Silver Wolf narrowed her eyes slightly and put one hand on her hip. An invisible barrier seemed to appear in front of Silver Wolf, parting the oncoming heat wave and easily blocking it. At the same time, she snapped her fingers again. The trembling space momentarily returned to calm, and the barrage immediately ceased fire.
She looked at Yunli before her with interest. Colorful traces appeared on the illusory ground beneath Yunli's feet, only to vanish in the blink of an eye. Her cute appearance now looked a bit disheveled. Having escaped the disaster, Yunli immediately looked at the composed Silver Wolf with an ill-tempered expression. She lightly bit her lip and took an angry step forward.
And then... she almost stumbled.
Silver Wolf: (๑˙ー˙๑)
Yunli hurried to lean on Old Mettle, barely avoiding the tragedy of falling on the spot. Silver Wolf, meanwhile, watched Yunli's wobbly steps with curiosity. A guess suddenly formed in her mind. She asked somewhat uncertainly:
"You couldn't have... spun yourself dizzy, right?"
Yunli (⁄ ⁄•⁄ー⁄•⁄ ⁄): "Wh-what... are you... saying! I did not!"
Silver Wolf (ಡωಡ): 'Don't worry sister, I understand.'
Looking at Yunli's ashamed and angry expression along with her anxious tone and movements... it went without saying that her guess was correct. To this, Silver Wolf could only say—your maneuvers just now were indeed cool, but now... Silver Wolf unkindly took a secret screenshot.
Yunli: ♦ฺ(◣д◢)♦ฺ
Barely regaining her composure, Yunli raised Old Mettle with a face full of shame and rage. A majestic wave of air emerged once more. This time, even the entire game space trembled faintly. Even Silver Wolf couldn't help but feel a tiny bit of surprise.
However, she wasn't panicked at all. Then, Old Mettle in Yunli's hands rapidly expanded, nearly breaking through the sky. She gave a loud shout, gripping it tightly with both hands, intending to swing it down heavily.
"Earth-Shattering..."
However, before Yunli could release her ultimate move, Silver Wolf suddenly snapped her fingers. Yunli's body began to turn into particles, starting from her fair jade feet and moving upward, until her existence completely vanished from this space.
In the blink of an eye, only Silver Wolf remained in the game space with her hand on her hip, as peace was fully restored.
After this, the space fell into a strange silence for a moment. Silver Wolf, still in the same spot, maintained her previous pose without any reaction. A few minutes later, this strange game space began to gradually dissipate. Including the statue-like Silver Wolf within it, everything turned into particles and vanished.
The living room thus returned to its original form—its usual, unremarkable appearance. No one would have guessed that just a few minutes ago, a great battle had taken place here. And in the bedroom next to the living room...
Silver Wolf was lying comfortably on the soft, large bed, her feet swaying gently to a rhythm. She held a game console tightly in her hands, the flickering colored lights from the screen reflecting on her focused face.
"Partner, the mission is done!"
While Silver Wolf was focused, the mini Silver Wolf belonging to "Friend" suddenly came to report. Hearing this, Silver Wolf nodded slightly. "Mm, good work."
She responded casually just as the game in her hands finished. Silver Wolf stood up somewhat lazily, popped a piece of gum into her mouth, and pulled up a brilliant screen out of thin air. She took a quick look and soon lost interest.
"Tsk, you're still a bit too green to play games with me, girl."
Silver Wolf leaned back lazily on the bed, a playful arc curling at the corner of her mouth. Then she carelessly picked up the game console, her fingertips sliding gently across the screen, and blew a soft breath, causing a pink bubble to slowly inflate...
"Ear... Huh?!!"
Yunli, who was charging up her ultimate move, only felt her vision blur. When she opened her eyes again, she was surprised to find herself inexplicably in mid-air. The ground beneath her feet was suddenly gone, and her ultimate move was directly interrupted.
But now a new problem had appeared.
"Where is this? AHHHH!!!!"
Accompanied by a sharp scream, Yunli successfully performed a free-fall movement. After her slender body broke several tree branches, she landed heavily on her bottom in a patch of grass.
"Agh! Ow... it hurts, hurts, hurts."
Yunli's baby-fat cheeks were scrunched up in pain. She clutched her sore bottom and scrambled up from the ground in a mess. Only then did she realize that Silver Wolf had thrown her directly into the park near the apartment.
"How hateful! She can't win fairly, so she plays dirty!"
Yunli leaned awkwardly against a nearby tree trunk. A fire of anger was faintly ignited in her pupils, but after a brief silence, it was completely extinguished. Yunli had now almost completely calmed down. At first, she had just acted on impulse, her head clouded by anger. Urged on by Sparkle, she had rushed over in a rage to pick a fight.
Now that she had cooled down, although she was still a bit annoyed, she could look at things rationally. After all, they were essentially the same person; it wasn't good to be too petty. She might as well let it go for now.
"Hmph, I'll take the loss this time, but next time I'll definitely get revenge for my sore butt today. And that annoying Masked Fool! You'd better not let me run into you, Sparkle!"
Ring ring ring!
After delivering her classic post-match declaration, Mo Xin suddenly called. Yunli, in a terrible mood, answered casually and asked bluntly:
"Hey, didn't you just get out of the hospital? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"
"Yunli, where are you? Come quickly and help me spend the last of my youth!"
