After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 337 The Balance of Black and White

After waiting in place for a while, but the voice still ignored him, Shen Xu had no choice but to manipulate his soul to wander around aimlessly.

Although the stone tablets of various sizes around him were exquisitely carved, they seemed to contain no useful information. They were not only blurry, but also depicted patterns whose meaning he could not understand.

Just then, he suddenly remembered that the White Crane of Prayer had said that his Prayer Eyes seemed to have the ability to break through illusions.

So he began to activate the golden-red pattern hidden within his body. In an instant, a powerful and mysterious force surged from the eyes within him, instantly enveloping the surrounding space and the stone tablets.

With the activation of the Spirit Eye, the seemingly ordinary stone tablet underwent a miraculous change.

They no longer appeared in a uniform gray-white color, but began to shimmer with all sorts of dazzling and colorful lights.

Some stone tablets shimmered with a deep blue, while others radiated a fiery orange, and still others exuded a mysterious purple... In an instant, the entire space was adorned with these vibrant colors, creating a dreamlike atmosphere.

However, each stone tablet is not just a single color; the different patterns on it also shimmer with different colors, and the stone tablet only displays the color of the most dazzling pattern.

With the color absorbing the ink, Shen Xu was able to see the patterns on the stone tablets clearly. In particular, when he noticed the patterns on some stone tablets, he was shocked because he was surprised to find that those patterns were exactly the same as the patterns engraved on his soul!

At the same time, he also noticed that the gray mist that permeated the surroundings seemed to be continuously emanating from the patterns on these stone tablets.

The larger the stone tablet, the more ash mist it emits. Different patterns produce different kinds of ash mist. The more complex the pattern, the more solid and thick the ash mist emitted from it.

Moreover, the gray fog did not wander aimlessly in space; on the contrary, it seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, all flowing slowly in the same direction.

The surging gray fog flowed silently through this strange space like winding rivers.

With just a thought, he was involuntarily swept along by the gray mist river, slowly drifting in the direction the gray mist was flowing.

At first, Shen Xu was a little flustered, but he soon realized that the gray mist river did not harm him. However, he could not leave the river on his own and could only drift forward with the river.

I don't know how much time has passed, or perhaps time has lost its original meaning.

A faint yet dazzling white light appeared without warning at the edge of Shen Xu's vision. This wisp of white light was like a beacon in the darkness, instantly drawing all his attention.

As the Spirit Eyes were activated, the scene before them gradually became clearer.

The source of the white light was a huge and ancient scale! This scale stood tall in the gray mist, half white and half black, exuding an awe-inspiring ancient aura.

The scales were not decorated with many ornate or elaborate ornaments; only faint Daoist runes appeared and disappeared on them, which appeared even more solemn and majestic against the backdrop of nothingness.

The white light is soft and mysterious, while the black light is deep and profound.

And those gray, misty rivers slowly and silently slid into the two trays of the scale before it.

The scales trembled slightly, as if weighing the value of the gray mist. Each tremor caused a slight fluctuation in the surrounding space, and stirred up layers of tiny ripples that spread outwards.

However, the scales presented to Shen Xu at this moment were clearly unbalanced, with more gray mist continuously pouring into one side of the black tray, causing the entire scale to tilt towards the black side.

Although the white end stands out more in the gray fog, the black end seems to be constantly absorbing the light emitted by the white end.

This made Shen Xu curious about what was placed in the tray of the scale, but the lesson learned from the blood mist made him realize that it was best not to have some curiosity.

But he soon realized a problem: if he let the gray fog carry him forward, he was destined to be thrown into the balance of power. Although he didn't know what would happen then, it certainly wouldn't be a good thing.

But he could do nothing. No matter how he tried, he could not leave the gray mist that was enveloping him. As he got closer and closer to the scales, he became more and more desperate, because the white light had completely filled his vision.

Just as Shen Xu was about to be completely engulfed by the white light, he suddenly realized that the gray mist around him had stopped flowing, and his soul could no longer move.

This feeling was very familiar to him, much like when he awakened his evasion talent.

"The price..." But before he could react to what had happened, that weathered voice echoed in his mind again.

Shen Xu was shocked, and he immediately understood what he would have to give to get out of this place.

……

"What exactly happened between you and Miss Xiao Yi inside? Why wasn't I walking behind you at the time...?"

In a hazy state, Shen Xu felt as if he heard Guan Bi's voice, but he thought it must be his imagination. He should still be in the Blood Central Realm, so how could he hear Guan Bi's voice?

"Why would even an ice queen like Miss Xiao Yi like you? But if Miss Xiao Yi knew what you and I did, her expression would be quite interesting."

What should I do? If you're not with that girl, I can't be with you, but I only want you by my side.

It's a pity I can't leave you, Miss, otherwise it wouldn't be bad to take this opportunity to secretly take you away..."

“However, you belong to me now.” Guan Bi smiled sweetly, then moved her face from Shen Xu’s chest to his face.

"He's not even that good-looking! How come he's so popular with girls?" Guan Bi couldn't help but poke Shen Xu's cheek, then swallowed hard.

Shen Xu was currently using his blood essence to control his heartbeat, so that Guan Bi wouldn't notice anything amiss, otherwise he couldn't imagine how miserable his fate would be.

At this moment, he deeply regretted why he had pretended to be asleep and listened to Guan Bi's words.

But he couldn't keep up the act any longer, because he could clearly feel Guan Bi's breath and the fragrance emanating from her body getting closer and closer to him.

As the saying goes, intentional and unintentional are two different things, so he hurriedly opened his eyes and saw the fine downy hair on Guan Bi's fair face and her beautiful purple pupils.

Before he could explain, Guan Bi's slap landed on his face.

"This is the last time!" Guan Bi quickly stood up and said coldly with her back to him.

"Hiss..." Shen Xu got up and pretended to groan in pain, then covered his head with a ferocious expression.

"Shen Xu, what's wrong?" Guan Bi quickly supported him and looked at him with concern.

"I don't know either. My head hurts a lot when I wake up, but it should be nothing serious. I should be fine after resting for a while," Shen Xu replied weakly.

"I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?" Shen Xu gave a pale smile.
