Is it getting late?

Han Zhan was momentarily stunned upon hearing Taibai Jinxing’s words.

Previously, Taibai Jinxing had never appeared on the third morning, but this time, after the world reset, things suddenly changed.

Why is this?

Could it be... we didn’t resurrect?!

Han Zhan’s heart tightened suddenly, but no, the number on his hand couldn’t lie; it had indeed changed to ”1”. This couldn’t be fake.

”Aren’t you going in?”

Taibai Jinxing repeated his earlier words.

But after experiencing that night, hearing him say this again gave everyone the creeps.

It was as if he was forcing us to go in, into the Peach Garden!

Yes, that was exactly the feeling!

As Han Zhan thought of this, his pupils dilated and flickered slightly.

In their eyes, the Peach Garden had completely turned into a terrifying paradise that devoured people whole.

”Did something happen?” Taibai Jinxing came over, asking with concern, ”What did you encounter in the Peach Garden?”

Seeing Taibai Jinxing’s increasingly kind smile, everyone’s heart began to race.

”We’re going in now, thank you for your concern, Jinxing.” Han Zhan exhaled a breath of stale air, saying.

After saying this, just like before, he was the first to step into the Peach Garden.

Taibai Jinxing stood behind them, silently, with a faint smile, watching Han Zhan and the others enter the Peach Garden.

Only after everyone had entered did he turn around with a smile, waved his duster, and transformed into a beam of light to leave.

”He’s already gone.”

Han Zhan noticed Taibai Jinxing’s departure and said, ”I didn’t get a chance to ask earlier, did the numbers on your palms change?”

”Mine decreased by 1,” Gongyang Jin replied.

”Mine too,” Li Lingzhen answered second.

”Me too!” ”Me too...” ”Ugh!”

The more Han Zhan listened, the heavier his mood became.

The third nightfall even deducted one life from everyone!

Which means a mass instant kill!

Now, except for Xia Youwei who still had ”2” lives, everyone else was down to their last life.

One more death, and it would be completely back to zero!

”Why did Taibai Jinxing appear, he never did before,” Xia Youwei asked puzzledly.

It seemed that not only Han Zhan had this doubt.

”It’s the time,” Nuannuan spoke.

Even though she had amnesia, her sensitivity to time was far beyond others.

”Because too much time has passed without us entering the Peach Garden, Taibai Jinxing appeared here.”

”Although we resurrected, we didn’t wake up immediately, but fell into a state of mental chaos.”

”Ah Zhan, you woke up the earliest, probably benefitting from the spiritual nurturing of the Bodhi Treasure Tree, making your mental resilience stronger, hence you awoke faster than us.”

Nuannuan paused here for a moment.

She looked up at the sky to roughly estimate the time. ”An hour has probably passed since our resurrection.”

Nuannuan’s answer caused everyone to gasp again.

”An hour?! We’ve been resurrected for so long without feeling it?”

”Why is this happening? Isn’t the Fruit World completely reset our state?”

”It’s the first time encountering such a situation, if it can’t completely reset, could there be hidden injuries left?”

”I guess it’s because the mental pollution we’ve suffered is too severe, beyond the reset capability of the Fruit World, leading to incomplete resets,” Han Zhan finally spoke.

His words quieted down the discussions among the girls.

Han Zhan continued, ”As I mentioned before, whether it’s the three-life rule or the Fruit World reset, it’s actually a kind of ’protection.’”

The object of protection, naturally, are the explorers who enter the Fruit World.

The fact that they fell into a state of mental chaos, which even the reset couldn’t dispel, further proves the necessity of the Fruit World reset from the side.

”In other words, without this rule, we might have already died completely,” Gongyang Jin said.

Han Zhan slightly nodded, ”Yes, exactly.”

Resetting the world isn’t omnipotent, there’s always some power whose influence exceeds the rules of the Fruit World.

This is the most terrifying thing.

”They are watching us.” As Han Zhan spoke, he looked up into the sky, as if he could see something from it.

Whether it’s Taibai Jinxing or the Queen Mother of the West, they only appear when issuing tasks, when tasks fail, or when tasks aren’t continued, and they appear immediately.

They are closely watching us!

”So, can the things we heard last night be trusted?” Shang Siteng blinked her clear and naïve eyes, asking.

”If according to Ah Zhan, resetting the Fruit World is a kind of protection, then, shouldn’t the Queen Mother of the West be protecting us?” Li Lingzhen realized this point and asked in return.

The Queen Mother of the West resetting the Fruit World is a good person.

The scene they saw last night, all the shadows were saying the Queen Mother of the West harmed them, was a bad person.

Between the two, one must be an enemy, as long as we figure this out, we’re good.

So, should we believe the Queen Mother of the West or those shadows?

Everyone fell into silence.

After a while, the clear and naïve Shang Siteng suddenly blinked and asked, ”What are you hesitating about?”

”Isn’t the answer obvious?”

Shang Siteng’s words made everyone subconsciously lean back a bit.

If earlier Shang Siteng was the embodiment of wisdom, now she was the embodiment of idiocy.

Being told the answer was obvious by the clear and naïve Shang Siteng, and yet they couldn’t figure it out.

Indeed, there was a bit of a humiliating feeling!

”Siteng, do you really have a solution?” Han Zhan couldn’t help but ask.

”The answer is already obvious,” Shang Siteng said matter-of-factly, ”Of course, it’s to believe in the Queen Mother of the West.”

Believe in the Queen Mother of the West?

Could it be that even the clear and naïve Shang Siteng has already grasped the whole situation and seen through the truth?!

Shang Siteng lightly nodded, ”Yeah, if we believe those shadows, we’d die immediately, but if trust the Queen Mother of the West, at least we won’t die now.”

”So, who do you think we should believe?”

Everyone looked at each other after hearing Shang Siteng’s answer.

This... does seem to be the thought process, right?

Shang Siteng gave up thinking, wanting only the simplest and most direct solution - she wanted to live.

To want to live, she had to listen to the Queen Mother of the West, at least that’s what should be done for now.

”Remember the content of the fourth rule of the ’Flat Peach Garden Fruit Tree Care Rules’, it actually already gave us the answer!” Han Zhan realized this too, upon Shang Siteng’s reminder.

Rule Four: Do not believe any voices heard at night, absolutely not!
