Samsara Online

After Shiva’s failure, most of the players present unconsciously felt a little better about themselves. Even the strongest player in the Chinese server and perhaps the entire Samsara world had just failed to get the approval of the Abyssal Black Fox, so how could they get it?

Moreover, although Shiva managed to somehow overcome the illusion, the Abyssal Black Fox directly attacked him furiously. What was the point of overcoming the illusion if, in the end, he was just going to leave with empty arms?

Such was the mentality of the weakest. They usually complained or defamed those who were above them, but did nothing to try to improve themselves... The worst of it all? When someone at the top fell and suffered a hard blow, everyone secretly rejoiced.

Xie Feng did not care about the thoughts of such people, he hugged little Ling Long and laughed in amusement at how the little female dragon continuously wiggled her little legs like a baby.

"Which of you two will go next?" Mu Wuying asked with a smile as he looked at Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue; they were the only two remaining people who had not yet tried to approach the little black fox.

"I will." Xie Yao answered. She put on her friendliest smile and advanced slowly to avoid scaring the little wild animal.

Xie Yao’s smile had left both men and women in a daze. Men who secretly stole glances at her were now staring at her without being able to look away from her; but all those glances were of appreciation toward beauty, not lust. Even with half of her face covered, Xie Yao’s charm was simply too great to ignore. She wasn’t in the third place of beautiful women for nothing after all.

"If that little thing bites her as it did me..." Xie Feng muttered evilly. Ling Long also waved her small claws a couple of times as she looked at the Abyssal Black Fox; it was as if she was telling it that it would be cut down by her if it did anything wrong.

One step... Two steps... Three Steps...

The little black fox looked at Xie Yao with its two little eyes sparkling like gems. As with the rest of the players, the little creature had no reaction to seeing her approaching. However, what happened next caused everyone’s jaw to fall in disbelief.

As if it had seen death walking towards it, the little black fox jumped back as it watched the beautiful woman approaching step by step... It did not even wait until Xie Yao was five meters away when it quickly moved further away in an attempt to keep its distance!

Seeing the frightened and cautious eyes of the Abyssal Black Fox, Xie Feng almost ran forward and kicked that little furry beast’s butt... Damn it, what was wrong with those eyes? It was as if Xie Yao was the worst creature in the world!

"If you make her cry... Just wait little fox... " Xie Feng muttered under his breath.

Mu Wuying, who was standing beside him, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Xie Feng’s muttering. Sometimes he could be much more mature than young men his age, but sometimes he was like a little boy who did or said immature things... But this was also part of Xie Feng’s charm.

"I guess that’s a no..." Xie Yao turned around and shook her head with an indifferent smile.

"It’s okay, Yaoyao.... That little thing doesn’t know what’s good for it". Xie Feng tried to comfort her thinking that she was sad.

But who knew that Xie Yao actually shook her head and said slowly, "No.... Actually, I don’t like that little fox much either. I mean, it’s cute, and I’d like to hug it.... But I just feel like I wouldn’t feel comfortable with having it as my pet".

Although he didn’t understand anything, Xie Feng simply nodded after staring at her for a few seconds to make sure that she really was okay and wasn’t just pretending.

"Your turn little belle". Xie Feng smiled at Gu Qianxue.

She gave him a beautiful smile in response, leaving everyone dumbfounded. Unlike Xie Yao’s pure smile, a smile capable of healing the soul just by seeing it, Gu Qianxue’s smile was simply too charming! She was like a seductive imp that took away the souls of humans... The worst thing was that practically all the men in the place were willing to sell their souls to the devil.

Too bad, none of them could even touch a hair on her head and, if for some reason any of them dared to try, that person’s entire family would probably be wiped off the face of the earth overnight. After all, Gu Qianxue was the only daughter of the man with the highest authority in all of China and as if that wasn’t enough she was now also engaged to the incarnation of the true devil from hell... Trying something funny against her was no different from suicide.

Gu Qianxue was already used to receiving a lot of stares, so with complete naturalness, she ignored everyone’s eyes and advanced slowly as her eyes focused on the small furry animal a few meters away.

Fortunately, the little black fox did not run away when it saw Gu Qianxue approaching just like it did with Xie Yao earlier. Otherwise, Xie Feng really could have stepped forward and stabbed the foolish animal with his spear.

Upon reaching ten feet away, Gu Qianxue’s footsteps stopped. She had entered the world of illusions.

The things people saw during illusions were diverse. Some saw themselves having millions of dollars only to lose it in one day, others saw their dream car being stolen in front of them... People’s fears and worries were very different after all. However, what Gu Qianxue saw was something completely different.

Surrounding them was nothing but darkness. In the midst of this darkness that seemed to want to swallow her whole, there was nothing but her; completely alone and with no one to accompany her. The darkness was so terrifying that Gu Qianxue even lost track of her own body.

Anyone else would try to scream in terror or try to find someone else... But Gu Qianxue did nothing of the sort. She simply stood there silently; her empty eyes simply stared into nothingness, feeling her gaze being devoured.

She was used to it... After all, the only thing she had seen during her eighteen years of life was nothing but darkness. At first, she thought it was okay since, after all, she didn’t know light. However, after she started playing Samsara Online, these thoughts changed completely.

Gu Qianxue, who could finally see the world around her, felt embraced by her loved ones and the light at the same time. Now, her heart had given in to a feeling of fear toward the darkness by instinct. Darkness was good, it could make one know oneself better, it helped to appreciate more the small details of life... But complete darkness was too scary and only by experiencing it could a person understand how much scared she felt.

Soon ten seconds passed and Gu Qianxue came out of the illusion that contained her. But to everyone’s surprise, she did not scream, run, or rage; the smile on her face did not even recede for a moment and when she took another step forward her feet did not falter.

Xie Feng frowned as well. From the reaction that all the people had earlier, Gu Qianxue should at least be slightly affected; even Mu Wuying, who had the least negative reaction of all, was forced to pause for a few seconds to calm her heaving breath... But Gu Qianxue did not have the slightest reaction, as if what she saw was not disturbing at all.

What Xie Feng did not know was that the reason why Gu Qianxue had no reaction at all was because what she saw in that illusion was something she had already experienced all her life and, although she was afraid of it, she had already gotten used to living with that fear accompanying her.

Surprisingly, when Gu Qianxue continued to advance, the little black fox did not retreat just as when Xie Feng closed the distance between them. This caused a series of gasps and murmurs... Could it be that finally, on the last try, the little black fox chose its master? If this little animal rejected Gu Qianxue, then it must stay sealed in this place for who knows how many more years!

They soon got their answer.

The baby Abyssal Black Fox’s little dark eyes flashed brightly and it rushed forward. Just when Xie Feng thought it was going to bite her just like it did to him, Gu Qianxue opened her arms and hugged the little creature close to her chest.

Xie Feng’s mouth opened slightly due to disbelief... What the heck? What’s with this difference in attitude!? Too bad, there was no one to answer him.

At the same time, a series of announcements rang in Gu Qianxue’s head.

[Ding!... You have successfully passed the Abyssal Black Fox tests; mental strength test and elemental aptitude test].

[Ding!... Abyssal Black Fox wishes to become your pet, do you accept?].

"Accept." Gu Qianxue said softly, accepting the contract while stroking the small animal’s soft fur in her embrace.

[Ding!... Abyssal Black Fox has become your pet! Choose a name].

"A name?" Gu Qianxue looked thoughtful... She had the impulse to call it ’Little Black’ but she had a feeling that if she did that she would become the laughing stock of everyone... So she restrained herself.
