The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

What a mischievous fellow...

Just as Ryan was about to continue his sprint, a sudden inspiration struck him.

Eh?

Why should I keep chasing after it?

Why not let it come over on its own?

A funny but daring idea popped into Ryan's head.

So Ryan stopped chasing and instead lowered his head, observing the rippling water beneath his feet with an extremely serious expression.

Then, right under Huiyan's "gaze," he lay down.

First, he listened with his ears, then tapped his knuckles a few times, and then stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Just as Ryan was about to squat down again, he suddenly looked up at Huiyan, then turned around, blocking its "view", and squatted down with his back to it.

Then, she let out a surprised "Oh!"

"So that's it!"

"I never expected to see something like this here!"

Chapter 140 Let's have some fun!

Huiyan stared blankly at Ryan, wondering why he had stopped pursuing her.

Also, what was he doing squatting there?

Did he discover something interesting?

But something's not right...

Having stayed here for so long, all I see besides the endless space is this deathly still water.

If there was anything truly interesting, I would have discovered it long ago.

However, Huiyan thought again that Ryan's appearance was an extremely unusual accident, a variable in this long period of time.

Perhaps his appearance has also brought about changes in the world?

Upon thinking about it, Huiyan immediately became interested.

They quickly turned around to see what Ryan was looking at.

But as soon as Huiyan turned around, Ryan looked up again, saw it, and then frowned slightly, covered his eyes with his hand, and then turned around as well, blocking Huiyan's "view" once again.

Eh? !

Could it be that he doesn't want me to see it?!

Originally, Huiyan only intended to "take a look" and then wait for Ryan to catch it. But unexpectedly, Ryan's actions piqued its interest in what he was blocking.

No, I have to go check it out!

On the other hand, Huiyan was worried that Ryan would catch him when he was careless and approached, so he carefully changed direction and moved closer to Ryan.

However, Ryan eventually caught this small movement and covered his hand even tighter.

I could see a little bit before, but now I can't see anything at all.

Huiyan couldn't stay still any longer and moved closer to Ryan, but he still couldn't see anything.

Huiyan hesitated.

Should we continue to get closer?

If we get any closer, this distance will be extremely dangerous.

If you don't get close, you won't be able to see it...

Just as he hesitated, Ryan laughed again, this time even louder than before, and even couldn't help but slap the surface of the water.

Huiyan, who had been hesitating, made a decision all at once.

It moved closer to Ryan again, this time almost touching him.

Then, a small flame peeked out, trying to get over Ryan's shoulder to see what was inside.

Just then, Ryan gently patted the flames.

"I got you."

Upon touching the Radiant Flame, Ryan did not feel a burning sensation like a scalding burn. Instead, he felt a faint warmth, more like a girl's body temperature.

Huiyan suddenly realized what was happening and dashed far away.

I was tricked after all.

It was getting angry, and the flames began to stir.

However, Ryan stood up and showed a gentle smile.

"So, what should we do next?"

Huiyan flew a great distance in a flash, and then started jumping again.

"That doesn't count. You have to catch me again!"

Ryan could never catch up with Huiyan.

"Then," Ryan said.

"Just catching people is so boring, let's do something else instead."

Huiyan stopped jumping and entered a calm, silent state.

After a long while, Huiyan still did not make a move.

Ryan frowned slightly, then thought of a question and tentatively asked.

"You don't just know how to play tag, do you...?"

As soon as the words were spoken, time seemed to stand still in the entire space.

Huiyan stopped moving even the flames, just standing there blankly.

It seems that what was predicted was correct.

Huiyan has absolutely no idea what to do.

If you were to consider Huiyan as a living person, he would be like a newborn child, full of curiosity and boundless energy, yet unsure of what to do.

"Since that's the case, then let me suggest what games we can play."

------

For a long time afterward, Ryan played many games with Huiyan.

These are all games that Ryan played as a child when he was in another world.

For example, hopscotch, beanbag toss (fireball), grid games, and "Red Light, Green Light" etc.

Although Huiyan didn't speak or use any body language, the flames it emitted still conveyed its inner emotions to Ryan with unparalleled precision.

It is extremely happy now.

Under Huiyan's innocent and adorable influence, Ryan felt as if he had truly returned to his childhood.

time flies.

Ryan was getting a little tired from playing, so he glanced at the sky above.

Although everything here is still, there is nothing to refer to the passage of time.

However, Ryan still relied on his intuition and figured that at least half a day had passed.

It's time to go back.

So Ryan straightened his clothes and waved to Huiyan.

"Well then, it's time to say goodbye."

Huiyan hadn't had enough fun yet when he was suddenly told that Ryan was leaving. How could he possibly accept that?

The flames immediately leaped up, circling around Ryan again and again.

"Could you stay a little longer?"

Ryan reached into the Radiant Flame as if he were caressing a child.

Even though there was nothing inside, he still touched Huiyan's non-existent "little head" as if comforting a child.

"If you still want to play, you can come out with me."

"The outside world is wonderful, and there are many beautiful and fun things to see."

"Would you like to come out with me?"

Huiyan was clearly hesitant.

It lingered around Ryan for a long time, seemingly worried about something.

However, the allure of traveling is simply too strong for it.

After much deliberation, Huiyan finally made his decision.

It nodded and chose to follow Ryan.

It really, really wants to go out.

Huiyan slowly approached Ryan, and a small flame tentatively touched Ryan's index finger.

Then, sensing Ryan's will, more flames began to emerge from the fire, wrapping around Ryan's body one by one.

A warmth unlike anything before began to spread from his fingertips, traveling along the circuits and eventually filling all six magic circuits in Ryan's body.

And that fireball disappeared.

The next instant, a large amount of radiant flames erupted from Ryan's body!

And Ryan's appearance changed at this moment!

His hair turned the exact same color as Huiyan's, burning like flames.
