Flower Fairy: After transmigrating again, I became An'an's younger brother.

Compared to Xia An'an and Kukuru, who were clearly panicked in the alternate dimension, the atmosphere was completely different for Xia Tong and the others in reality.

Xia Tong had already withdrawn his gaze and stopped paying attention to the situation in the alternate dimension. He had already seen through the content of the test, and since there was no danger, he just needed to wait patiently.

Thinking this, he simply changed to a more comfortable position on the sofa and began to close his eyes and rest.

An Yingchun had already sat back down on the other side of the sofa at some point, and she reached out to take back the tablet that she had placed on the coffee table.

For her, the fun this thing brought her was far greater than watching Xia An'an and the others wander around in the alternate dimension.

After the screen lit up, her fingers slid across it somewhat awkwardly, a hint of curiosity and inquiry showing on her face.

This little human gadget is quite interesting.

Unlike Xia Tong, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old did not lose interest, nor did he shift his attention like Shadow Chun.

She remained close to the screen, but her expression had changed from watching the spectacle to a kind of... keen observation, even with a hint of eagerness.

"Oh! It's starting! It's starting!"

Seeing the countdown begin, Xia An'an and Kukuru became visibly flustered. Dark Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old showed no sympathy, but instead clapped his hands lightly, his eyes sparkling, as if watching the opening of an interesting drama.

"They're panicking, they're running! Maybe taking that side path over there will be faster~"

She even unconsciously brought her face closer, muttering her own opinions under her breath, completely forgetting that the person inside couldn't hear her at all.

Then, as if suddenly remembering something, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old turned his head and looked at the calm-looking main body beside him, his eyes filled with undisguised admiration and a little bit of sly pride.

"You did it, didn't you?"

Then she asked the Ninth Prince, like a child who had discovered some secret, with a knowing smile on her face.

"Suddenly adding time...that's a great idea! Their reactions are really interesting!"

She didn't see anything wrong with it at all; on the contrary, she thought it made the "game" more complete and exciting.

The Ninth Prince did not answer directly, but her gaze seemed to casually sweep over Xia Tong, who was leaning back on the sofa—

After all, it was he who "reminded" the Ninth Prince that he needed to add something extra to the test.

Seeing that the Ninth Prince did not respond, the Shadow Ninth Prince did not care, as she did not really need an answer in the first place.

The smugness of "discovering the secret" and the excitement of "the game becoming more fun" were enough to satisfy her.

She looked back at the petal screen. In the alternate dimension, Xia An'an and Kukuru were running frantically along a path, their figures looking somewhat disheveled from their anxiety.

"Just looking at it like this for too long can get boring..."

The Ninth Prince of Shadows rested his chin on his hand, his fingertips unconsciously tapping his chin, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint.

"Furthermore, while the addition of 'time' is commendable, it still feels like something's missing?"

She tilted her head slightly, as if deep in thought, and then a lively, almost mischievous smile bloomed on her lips.

"That might make it more fun."

What the Ninth Thousand Years Old knows, the Shadow Ninth Thousand Years Old, as her shadow side, will naturally also know, therefore—

Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old reached out his hand towards the petal screen, and with a slight thought, a wisp of dark energy merged into it.

Inside the alternate dimension, Xia An'an, who was running forward desperately, suddenly felt her foot trip.

"oops!"

She gasped and nearly fell over.

Looking down, she saw that several supple vines had somehow spread out from the once smooth path and wrapped around her feet. They weren't deadly, but they were certainly tangling.

Kukuru was not spared either. A branch that suddenly grew out from the side brushed against him lightly. Although he was not injured, his flight rhythm was immediately disrupted.

"What's going on?!"

Kukuru cried out, becoming even more flustered.

In the real world, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old let out a soft "Ah-ha," his eyebrows curving into a smile as he watched even more intently.

"Yes, yes, that's it! A little surprise makes it more interesting!"

She even leaned forward slightly, as if trying to get a better look, and unconsciously muttered to herself, "Could we add a little more over there...?"

However, just as she was getting excited and preparing to add a little "surprise"—

The Ninth Prince, who had been silently watching the screen, frowned almost imperceptibly.

She didn't make any big moves, but simply turned her gaze slightly towards the direction where the Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old was.

At the same time, she gently waved her hand, scattering the petals that made up the screen.

In an instant, Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old felt that her connection with that other dimension had been severed, and the influence she had exerted vanished in an instant.

Inside the alternate dimension, the vines beneath Xia An'an's feet suddenly disappeared, and everything returned to normal, with only the initially set test and the "time limit" added by the Nine Thousand Years Old himself still in operation.

The Shadow Ninth Prince paused for a moment, then pursed his lips, looking at the Ninth Prince with a hint of dissatisfaction and confusion in his eyes:

"Why...isn't this more interesting? It won't really hurt them."

After listening, the Ninth Prince shook his head and said, "If it's just a simple prank, then the test isn't very meaningful."

"Tch, boring..."

Dark Shadow Nine Thousand Years Old curled his lips, and then flew to Xia Tong's side.

When she saw Xia Tong lying on the sofa looking completely idle, she reached out and poked Xia Tong's face with her finger.

"Hey kid, why are you looking so lazy too?"

Xia Tong opened his eyes after being poked a few times. Seeing him open his eyes, Dark Shadow Ninth Prince continued, "Want to go find some fun?"
