232 Pink Fores (1/2)

we walked further and further away from the infirmary until even the huts and other buildings started to become scarce. it then occurred to me that i had no idea where we were going- my base of operations revolved around my hut, the infirmary, my clearing, and the food area. oh, i also knew where the forest where we met that high-level demon cultivator was, but we were now moving in the opposite direction... and we had flown there.

i took a deep breath and realized that i couldn't keep playing around anymore. i couldn't avoid the truth which i had so desperately been avoiding until now.

i was in a different world.

my sister had died.

i had most likely died.

and chances were that i would die once more... unless i got serious. did i really want to live? maybe it would be better if i just let go...

”senior brother,” junior brother's voice broke me out of my reverie, and i looked up at his stern face. ”what are you thinking about?”

i blanked for a few seconds before i broke out into a beaming smile. ”nothing, nothing!” i patted his back forcefully before i laughed heartily.

yeah.

i needed to be a hero. and heroes didn't die.

turning my attention back to junior brother, i noticed that we were going further and further away from our sect. lifting my gaze upwards, i noticed that we were heading towards a different forest. that was entirely pink.

”what the actual f*ck?” i muttered, entirely weirded out. i stopped right before the threshold of the forest, the hot pink tree tops and explosive dark neon pink tree trunks a literal poison to my eyes.

junior brother, on the other hand, acted as if nothing was wrong. he plunged into the forest without even a backwards glance.

okay. that meant that this was normal. f*ck my life.

[system has detected substance %?@!$.]

the demon poison? where?!
