"Time is pressing right now. We do not know when these stone gates will close. Once they do, even this last chance of ours will be gone entirely by then." The Fire Water Empress said.
Lin Fan was a little nervous right now. He felt as though he was doing something big.
Not only that, this big thing was no ordinary big thing.
Initially, he had wanted to face everything with an optimistic outlook. But when he caught sight of the grim expressions of everyone around him, he could only hold everything back in and put on a solemn face as well.
As for Chicky and the others, he was not going to bring them along lest they turn into a hindrance. After all, no one truly knew what the world out there was like. If it were way too dangerous, he would really be in for it.
"Fire Water Empress, please help me in taking .care of them." Lin Fan said.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of them."
I felt a little as well when I thought of how the world that Lin Fan was living in was but a small secret ground in this place. It’s the feeling when you thought that you’re the main character of your life only to find out that you’re a side character of a story :/
But also, Dragon and Phoenix Twins. This is the way that the Chinese refer to a pair of twins of mixed sex. Males are represented by Dragons and females by Phoenixes. Cheers!
