50: Chapter 50 If there is an afterlife, your sister will protect you for all eternity.

Galaxy Bay Complex. Building 226. Room 801.

Qiu Xiaoying and Guan Xue were both wearing pink silk pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, eating potato chips, and watching a TV series. They were having a wonderful time!

Occasionally, they would burst into joyful laughter. They were completely unaware of the impending danger!

"Knock, knock, knock~" Just as the two were engrossed in the show, a sudden knock on the door rang out. Immediately after, a man's voice spoke: "Your takeout has arrived."

??? "Did you order takeout?" Qiu Xiaoying and Guan Xue turned their heads simultaneously, looked at each other, and asked in unison.

"I... I didn't order!"

"I didn't order either!"

They were both suddenly filled with confusion.

"Is anyone there? Your KFC has arrived, I've left it at the door!"

Hearing the man's voice outside, Qiu Xiaoying stood up, puzzled. "Maybe they delivered it to the wrong place. I'll go check."

"That must be it." Guan Xue nodded knowingly and went back to watching the TV series.

With a "click," Qiu Xiaoying opened the door.

Huh? Where was the KFC? Didn't he say he left it at the door?

Qiu Xiaoying poked her head out and looked toward the left side of the hallway.

"Xu... Xu, Xu..." Qiu Xiaoying's eyes widened in terror, and she stuttered from fear.

"Mmph!" The next second, Xu Que clamped a hand over her mouth and dragged her into the living room.

Seeing this scene, Guan Xue was stunned! The potato chips in her hand dropped onto the sofa, and her body began to tremble with fear.

"Xu... Xu... Xu..."

"Don't say a word, or I'll kill your friend." Xu Que said viciously as he walked over to Guan Xue and sat down on the sofa.

Guan Xue scooted to the side, putting some distance between herself and Xu Que.

"Xu... Xu Que, please, let Qiu Xiaoying go."

"Then come sit a little closer to me."

Guan Xue nervously moved a bit closer to Xu Que.

"If I let one of you go, the other must stay to be killed FQSHRY. Which one of you is willing to stay?" Xu Que said, releasing his hand from Qiu Xiaoying's mouth.

Qiu Xiaoying didn't scream. Since Xu Que had already appeared here, screaming would be useless. She needed to think about how to handle this situation!

"I'll stay, just let her go."

"I'll stay, just let Qiu Xiaoying go."

Qiu Xiaoying and Guan Xue made their decisions simultaneously.

Xu Que was stunned. This... this wasn't what he had imagined! The bond between these two was surprisingly strong! Both were willing to sacrifice themselves to save the other! This kind of bond was truly precious.

"Not bad. You truly are the people I have my eye on." Xu Que praised.

The three of them then vanished from the living room.

...

Spirit Spring Space.

Three hours later.

Just as he stepped out of the Space Capsule, Xu Que exclaimed, "Damn it, I completely forgot about Manager and Wu Mengmeng!"

Meanwhile, six thousand meters away, at the edge of the space barrier, Manager and Wu Mengmeng leaned weakly against the ink-colored wall.

"Manager, are we going to die here?" Wu Mengmeng looked up at the pitch-black canopy above, her voice laced with tears.

"I'm sorry, Mengmeng. I shouldn't have asked you to ban Xu Que's account back then. It's all my fault!" Manager also gazed up at the pitch-black space, speaking with self-reproach.

"Manager, I don't blame you. I just feel a bit resentful. I haven't even been in a relationship yet; I really wanted to experience a sweet romance..."

"Mengmeng, to tell you the truth, I haven't either. I also wanted a sweet romance. But now, I'm afraid... there's no chance left!"

"Manager, you've never been in a relationship either? That's unbelievable!" Wu Mengmeng's surprised voice rang out in the darkness.

"Hehe..." Manager chuckled softly. "Back then, I only wanted to focus on my work. As I got older, it just became harder to find the right person."

"Mengmeng, are you cold?"

"A... a little."

"Then... let's hold each other."

"Okay."

In the darkness, the two physically and mentally exhausted women embraced. The chill in their hearts seemed to lessen just a little.

"Mengmeng, are you hungry?"

"A... a little."

"Then you should eat the rest of these tomatoes!" Manager said, taking the remaining tomatoes and pressing them into Wu Mengmeng's hands.

"Manager, let's share it."

Wu Mengmeng picked it up and bit off half. In the darkness, she held the remaining half to Manager's lips. Manager felt a wave of emotion. She opened her mouth and ate the rest of the tomato.

"Manager, if there is a next life, I'd still be willing to be your subordinate."

"No, I don't want you to be my subordinate." Manager shook her head and said softly.

Wu Mengmeng was taken aback, a hint of sadness appearing on her face. But quickly, it turned into surprise.

Then, Manager continued, "If there is an afterlife, I want you to be my dearest sister."

"Wuwuwu, Manager, you're so kind."

Hearing Wu Mengmeng's sobs, Manager hugged her and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Mengmeng, haven't you found it strange? Could such a massive wall exist in the world?" Manager suddenly voiced the question she had been holding back for a long time.

The two had been walking for an entire day, their legs on the verge of giving out. Yet, they were still facing an endless, ink-colored barrier. It felt as if they were completely isolated from the world.

Wu Mengmeng was taken aback. Now that Manager had mentioned it, she realized something was wrong.

"Manager, I've never heard of a wall this tall and this long anywhere in the world. What kind of place is this? It's like we're cut off from the rest of the world!"

Hearing Wu Mengmeng's words, Manager furrowed her brows tightly. Could Xu Que really be a deity? Is this where deities live?

If that were the case, then... those gigantic fruits, vegetables, and this wall finally made sense!

Xu... Xu Que was actually a deity?! And I had asked Mengmeng to ban a deity's account?! I... I actually went against a deity. I... I was so stupid!

Mengmeng, I've brought this upon you. If there is an afterlife, I hope we can be sisters, and I will protect you for the rest of our lives.

"Hey, are you two done chatting? Is it my turn to say something now?"

In the darkness, a man's voice rang out beside them without warning.
