Chapter 391 Dance
The purple hair falls down like a waterfall, and the cold eyes do not fluctuate at all, just like the sharp blade in the hand. But sometimes when your sight is misaligned, you feel as if you have seen it wrong, and the one in front of you is just a noble but somewhat dull girl.

The moment she saw Huang Quan, somehow, a strange sense of crisis arose deep in Xing's heart, as if something was surrounding her throat, trying to strangle her breath.

"First, let's try to solve the problem..."

After looking at it for a while, Xing decided to take a look at the situation first.

On the other side of Huang Quan, a man in black, surrounded by many younger brothers, had an angry look on his face. Behind his sunglasses, he made no secret of his intention to do something bad to Huang Quan.

"Hmph, woman, I want to make it clear to you that you have provoked the wrong person!"

Facing the threats from the black-clad boss, Huang Quan remained calm. She even said that from her silly expression, she didn't even take the man in front of her seriously, and didn't know how she had offended them.

On the contrary, Misha, who was standing next to Huang Quan, had an apologetic expression on his face and was explaining to the man in black, but the other people present seemed to ignore Misha and acted as if they could not see him.

"(Strange, even if Misha's presence is low, it shouldn't be like this... Never mind, let's try out this newfound 'power' first."

Xing Hengdao immediately stood in front of Huang Quan and looked into the eyes of the man in black.

"Little girl, get out of my way and don't bother me... ok?"

"Tick, tick."

Xing concentrated and let the voice in her head cover the man in front of her.

The moment the clock rang, Xing had a feeling that even time seemed to slow down.

You can see that the human spirit is deconstructing and turning into countless gears that can be touched and controlled. As long as you want, you can add any plug-in into it.

"Joy", "Anger", "Sorrow", "Happiness".

If she wanted to, she could easily solve the current problem, if her guess was correct.

“(Why not try this…)”

With a sudden inspiration, Xing imagined the feeling of "joy" in her mind, and then she put it into her mind, or "resonated" it with the man in front of her.

Time returned to normal as the clicking sound stopped. In the eyes of others, Xing only looked at the man in front of her for a short second.

“…Ha, hahahahaha!”

Suddenly, almost without any pause, the gang leader who had been angry and foul-mouthed the previous second, actually started to laugh out loud.

His laughter was so sincere that even the younger brothers beside him were confused as to whether their boss was joking or...

“(Is this a success?)”

The scene froze for a moment, with only the laughter of the man in black echoing in the space.

Although it was successful, the effectiveness of this so-called "clock trick" was a little too unexpected for Xing.

"Oh, my old friend, hi! Please forgive my boldness, and welcome to the dreamland of Pinocchio!"

After a long period of laughter, the gang leader finally calmed down, but his tone was completely different from before.

The voice was just like the translation in some dubbed films, full of drama and humor.

"Everything I did just now was just a joke. How could I disturb my most distinguished guests and friends..."

He clasped his hands together, and his two leather gloves fit tightly together, just like his sweet and optimistic attitude at the moment.

"(That's not what you said just now...)"

Xing curled her lips, crossed her arms, and looked at the scenery in front of her.

"Come on, little ones, line up to welcome me!"

An apology alone was not enough, the gang leader seemed to really treat Xing and his crew as his most distinguished guests.

"Yes Yes!"

Although the younger brother beside him scratched his head in confusion, he still obeyed the boss's order, clapped and welcomed them together, using 120% of his strength to welcome Xing and others.

"Ready—get up!"

"Welcome to Pinocchio!!"

"This is too exaggerated..."

Liuying, who was standing behind Xing, muttered in a puzzled tone, as if she was regretting why she couldn't see the Clock Boy.

"No courtesy, stay on your own."

A mischievous smile appeared on Xing's face, and at this moment, the soul of "joy" in her body was burning.

"No problem, no problem, you are my most distinguished guest now!" The gang leader's voice was sincere and honest, and the younger brothers beside him also echoed him.

"As long as you are happy!"

Xing looked at Liuying and Huangquan, waved to the gang leader and said.

"We need some privacy, okay?"

"Yes, absolutely! Let's go, guys. Leave a..."

The gang members gradually walked away, and Xing was able to turn back and deal with the next things.

"Thank you for helping me out. Sorry to bother you again."

Misha thanked Xing considerately, while the clock boy beside him asked about Xing's identity curiously.

"She is a friend I knew before. Didn't I tell you about that?"

"Oh, that's her..."

During the break between Misha and Clock Boy's conversation, Huang Quan took the opportunity to interrupt the conversation.

"Thank you, Xing. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Huang Quan thanked her calmly, with no extra emotions on his face, which made Xing feel that even if he used the "clock trick" again, he would not be able to make the girl in front of him force a smile.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Xing looked complicated as she began to recall their meeting. Apart from the first inexplicable "death" by Huang Quan's knife, the two got along pretty well and she also helped Xing a lot.

However, Xing's intuition told her that things were not as simple as she thought...

For example, Xing saw some "momentum" in Huang Quan that he had only felt in Yao Luo before.

In the past, it would have been difficult for her to feel it, but with Yao Luo's various "cares" for Xing these times, her strength has increased by more than one level, and some hidden feelings have begun to come to her.

The sea, the dark, deep sea, at first glance you wouldn’t notice anything wrong, but as you continue to explore, you will find out.

Is the sea red, black, or blue? No, it should be white!

The deep waves lick the shore and tempt your desire for knowledge, but as soon as you take a step, the piles of bones under the deep ocean will make you unable to escape!
This kind of depth and terror that would drown you if you explored it yourself made Xing's breathing become short.

This is one of the reasons why Xing didn't dare to use the "clock trick" on Huang Quan.

"By the way, how did you do that just now?"

Liuying's voice pulled Xing back from his reverie, and he almost broke into a cold sweat.

When he came to his senses, Huang Quan and Liu Ying were staring at him.

“Ah, that’s how it is…”

Xing touched his head and embarrassedly told the two of them what happened before, but concealed the part about Misha.

After hearing this, Huang Quan nodded, not too surprised. It seemed that seeing cartoon characters appear in reality, no, in a dream, was nothing new. After all, this was Pinocchio.

"I thought that the 'Elegant Rememberer' left something in your brain. It seems that there are many people who possess incredible powers in dreams nowadays."

"Rememberer?"

Hearing this, Xing's eyes lit up. Wasn't Yao Luo a rememberer? Could it be that the clue he had been looking for was right in front of him?
"Be careful, be careful, Miss Huang Quan!"

Xing's expression was somewhat excited, and his body involuntarily moved closer to Huang Quan.

"Um? Okay?"

Faced with Xing's inexplicable excitement and closeness, Huang Quan seemed a little at a loss, not knowing the reason for Xing's excitement.

"I was originally planning not to disturb your date, but since you want to hear it..."

"No, it's not a date."

Liuying blushed slightly and retorted in a very low voice.

"Ahem, I'm going to start talking."

Huang Quan ignored Liuying's explanation and began to recall his previous experiences.

“[At that time, I accidentally walked into a dance party, and a lady in black veil invited me to dance with her. That was my first dance…]

“It was an unforgettable experience…”
