Returning to familiar grounds.
Looking at the eerie Black Stele Forest, the protagonist felt a wave of emotions.
The first time he came here, he was trapped in the Black Stele Forest, haunted by wails from the labyrinth, scared out of his wits.
Later on, Linglong appeared and effortlessly broke all the formations.
The protagonist thought he had someone to rely on, but it turned out there were thorns on that support.
Real thorns!
If Su Qianqian hadn't suddenly appeared, the protagonist would have perished on those thorns.
Standing on the outskirts of the Black Stele Forest, the protagonist's eyes were complicated.
Su Qianqian, despite all her faults and a very extreme and twisted personality,
had indeed helped him.
If it hadn't been for Su Qianqian, the protagonist would have nearly fallen several times.
