Xie Jianyu's body went stiff in Zhang Fengxi's embrace.
"Zhang Fengxi, what are you doing??" he then cried out after a while. "Unhand me!!!"
Xie Jianyu raised a leg to kick Zhang Fengxi away from him, but the latter swatted his leg away and hugged him like a mother bear.
"Shush. Can you just stay quiet? Let me hug you for a while."
"....."
Zhang Fengxi discovered that holding a living, breathing, and warm Xie Jianyu was the only cure for the trauma that he experienced beneath the Abyssal Ice Pond's frozen surface.
The Xie Jianyu in the scenario was nothing but an illusion. And yet, the Three Realm Spear was able to produce such a vivid, realistic recreation of the omega.
If Xie Jianyu from his past life was given another chance at life, he most likely would say the exact things he said today.
To make it even worse, Zhang Fengxi knew that he deserved any reproach that came out of Xie Jianyu's lips.
"Xie Jianyu..."
