"Yeah! How could I give up so easily?"
"Wasn't the last time you got beaten enough for you?"
"This time it won't happen again."
"Is that so?"
"What's wrong? Who is that?" Yiling asked.
"I don't know either; I've never seen that person before."
"Should we go over?"
"No need, let's just watch for now."
"Do you know why Qiong is here?"
"So that's it, to lure me out."
"It seems you're not as foolish as I thought. Do you know what these three iron plates are for?"
"Whatever it is, it's not anything good."
"They're prepared for you."
"What?"
"Believe it or not, you can't get out anyway."
Sima Chuan tried to move but found himself immobilized. "Akaper, what should we do?"
"There's nothing we can do now; we can only call her for help."
"It seems that's the only option."
"What's taking her so long? Seriously, she should hurry up and transform."
"Why are you so anxious? Do you care about him?" Yiling chuckled from the side.
"Stop it, or I'll hit you," Luo Mengqi threatened, pretending to punch Yiling.
"You can't hit me; I'm covered in armor," Yiling teased.
"I'm ignoring you." Luo Mengqi turned her head away.
"It looks like you do care about him after all."
"I do care about him, okay? Is that so hard to understand?"
"Are you angry, big sister?"
"Depends on you."
Booth stepped closer, and Sima Chuan shouted, "Luo Mengqi, hurry up and come help!"
"Did you hear that? He misses you."
"Stop messing around and help already." With that, he rushed forward.
"Why the rush? Hey, wait for me."
"What, do you have backup?" Booth just smiled ominously.
Luo Mengqi jumped up and transformed into the Mechanical Warrior. Then, she kicked towards Booth. Booth hurriedly dodged, but the massive shockwave from Luo Mengqi's landing sent him crashing to the ground.
Luo Mengqi waved her hand, and a sword appeared. She then walked towards Booth. The nearby Mechanical Soldiers saw this and quickly launched missiles at Luo Mengqi. Just as the missiles shot out of their launchers, Luo Mengqi was already in front of them. With a swing of her sword, flames erupted, severely injuring the Mechanical Soldiers.
Watching from the side, Booth felt displeased and attempted to use the Super Impulse Particle Cannon. However, a nearby Mechanical Soldier reminded him, "Booth, the mission is complete. Please evacuate immediately."
Booth was very reluctant and left with a parting shot at Sima Chuan: "Just wait, I will dismantle you sooner or later."
Luo Mengqi was about to chase after him but was stopped by Sima Chuan: "No need to chase. Quickly help me remove these metal plates. My body is stuck."
"I didn't expect you to need something from me!"
"Hurry up! Otherwise, Qiong will..."
At that moment, Yiling ran over to Luo Mengqi's side. "I didn't expect you to be so fast."
"What? Are you not convinced?"
"Not at all, but why were you so slow when your husband called for help?" Yiling pretended to think deeply.
"Hey, who do you think you are! Let me tell you, food can be eaten carelessly, but words should not be spoken carelessly! You’ll have to bear the consequences." Sima Chuan shouted.
"Exactly! Mind your words." Luo Mengqi chimed in.
"Husband sings, wife follows. Hmph!"
"Oh, so you're trying to imitate me now?"
"What about it?"
"Looking for a fight!" Just as Luo Mengqi swung her fist, Sima Chuan yelled, "Hey! Can you two stop messing around and save me already!"
Luo Mengqi retracted her fist and said helplessly, "I'm really scared of you now."
"Hehe!" Yiling chuckled to herself.
Luo Mengqi walked over to Sima Chuan and kicked the three iron plates hard. With a loud bang, the plates exploded, sending Sima Chuan flying into the air.
Luo Mengqi's heart tightened, and she was momentarily stunned.
However, Sima Chuan jumped down from the air. Luo Mengqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that at the moment of the explosion, he had transformed into the Mechanical Warrior.
Qiong was jolted awake by the massive explosion, slightly opening her eyes and softly calling out, "Chuan."
Sima Chuan was so happy that he was almost in tears. "Don't talk, just rest well. I'll take you back right now." With that, he picked up Qiong and started heading back.
"It looks like I have a good show to watch!"
"What kind of show?" Luo Mengqi asked, puzzled.
"About you two."
"We?"
"You are fire, and he is water."
"I know that."
“Incompatible.”
Luo Mengqi remained silent. Yiling asked again, “Who is he holding?”
“Qiong, a friend of Sima Chuan. Just like you.”
“Oh!”
“What? Are you interested in him?” Luo Mengqi teased from the side.
“No. Are you feeling better now?”
“Yes!”
“It’s that Sima Chuan, isn’t it?”
“Exactly. We should head back now.” Luo Mengqi suddenly realized they had been lingering for quite some time.
“Qiong, how are you feeling?”
“Hmm! Don’t worry! I’ll be fine soon.”
“Then I can relax.” Sima Chuan wanted to say something else but couldn’t find the words. Qiong asked, “What’s wrong, Chuan?”
"It's fine, you just rest well. I'll step out for a moment."
Qiong silently watched Sima Chuan leave, saying nothing.
As soon as Sima Chuan stepped out of the room, he saw Luo Mengqi and Yiling engaged in conversation. The moment Yiling spotted him, she rushed over with concern, asking, "How is Qiong doing?"
Luo Mengqi seemed to notice something and was quietly chuckling to herself.
Sima Chuan simply replied lightly, "She's fine," and continued walking outside.
Yiling immediately dashed into Qiong's room, followed closely by Luo Mengqi.
Outside, the snow had been mostly cleared away. The sun hung high in the sky, not particularly bright. Some clouds that shouldn't have been there still lingered nearby.
"Do you remember when you touched me in the ice cave?" Akaper asked.
"I do."
"What did it feel like?"
Sima Chuan recalled the scene in the ice cave: when he first saw Akaper, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if they were old friends reuniting after a long separation. The feeling intensified when he touched Akaper; he thought to himself that it had always been waiting for him.
"And what about your feelings for Qiong?" Akaper continued to ask.
"That's about right, just not as deep as yours and mine."
"What do you feel about Qiong now?"
"It feels like nothing has changed, but there's a hint of... something I can't quite place." Sima Chuan suddenly paused.
"Strangeness," Akaper filled in.
"Yeah."
"You must have realized it by now?"
Sima Chuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. After a long moment, he slowly opened them. "He's not Qiong."
Yiling immediately bounced in front of Qiong, smiling. "Hello, I'm Yiling, a good friend of Luo Mengqi."
"Hello! I'm Qiong, a good friend of Sima Chuan."
"How do you feel now?"
"Pretty good!"
"I've never seen you before!"
"Yes! I rarely go out, but from now on, I'll be out more often. We can still be good friends!"
"That's right! It turns out we're the same."
"Exactly! That makes it easier for us to communicate! Hehe!"
"Even though you're a Mechanical Body, your smile is beautiful."
"Hehe!"
"Hey! You two aren't getting all flirty already, are you?" Luo Mengqi suddenly interjected.
"Don't be ridiculous, big sister," Yiling quickly ran in front of Luo Mengqi, still wearing that same smile.
Seeing that Qiong was fine, Luo Mengqi returned to her room. Just as she was about to enter, Sima Chuan rushed in. Luo Mengqi hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"That's right! I need your help."
"Alright then, I have nothing else to do anyway."
With that, Sima Chuan entered Qiong's room. Yiling was startled, but Qiong just waved her hand dismissively.
As soon as Sima Chuan entered the room, he asked with concern, "Qiong, are you feeling any better?"
"Chuan! Don't worry, it's all fine now."
"Shall we go out for a walk? I think you could use it too."
"Sure, let's go!"
"Yiling, do you want to join us?" Luo Mengqi said with a sly smile.
"Fine, I'll go. Hmph!"
Sima Chuan and the others walked on foot to a desolate area where the northern wind howled relentlessly.
Suddenly, Sima Chuan stopped in his tracks and turned to face Qiong. What he said next shocked both Luo Mengqi and Yiling.
"Even though you look exactly like Qiong, I can assure you that you are not him."
Sima Chuan spat on the ground and continued, "I don't know why you're by my side, where Qiong is, or what your intentions are. But I can guess that you are acting under Nai's orders. Am I right?"
"What?" Yiling was taken aback, and Luo Mengqi looked equally astonished as they both stared incredulously at Qiong.
Luo Mengqi was the first to speak up. "Hey, Sima Chuan, are you sure about this? Isn't he your good friend?"
"No, I'm not mistaken. And let me correct you on something. Qiong and I are no longer just friends; we are brothers!"
Luo Mengqi was momentarily speechless.
After exchanging glances with Qiong, Sima Chuan finally spoke up, "Is that so? You knew all along."
"I realized it the moment I picked you up."
"I'm curious how you figured out I was a fake."
"Because of the connection I have with Qiong."
"Connection?" Qiong paused for a moment before continuing, "No wonder I revealed myself so quickly. It seems I need to improve."
"Who are you, and what is your purpose here?"
"I can only tell you that your guess is correct. I was sent here on the orders of Lady Nayi. The only other thing I can share is my name. I am Dark Qiong."
As Dark Qiong spoke, a deep purple aura surrounded his body, gradually lifting him into the air as he transformed into a deep purple figure.
