“Who are you? How did you come here?”

The child’s expression changed instantly. He jumped up quickly and retreated to the other side of the pool, staring at Feng Xi on alert.

Feng Xi stared at him curiously, but didn’t answer his question. After a long while, he shifted his gaze from him to the pool. Suddenly, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes– the surface of the pool showed the scene of the other contestants who came in with him!

“Tell me quickly. Who are you?” Seeing that Feng Xi kept staring at the pool instead of answering his question, the child couldn’t help but get angry.

“Me? Like the people in the pool, we are all contestants. What about you? Hmm, I didn’t seem to see any contestant who looked like a child. Is my news not up to the minute? “The second half of Feng Xi’s sentence became a mumble.

“Impossible!” The child immediately denied it. He glared at Feng Xi sharply with a serious expression. “I know you must be one of the sixth floor’s ghosts and you want to turn into a human shape to fool me. Although I don’t know how you walked through the barrier on the sixth floor to get here, your daring to appear in front of me is practically asking for death!”

After he finished, he reached out and muttered a spell. The bowl-shaped object hanging on the wall suddenly flew to his hand. Then under his instructions, the golden bowl instantly shot towards Feng Xi and a beam of strong light came out of it, enveloping Feng Xi.

The child showed a smug smile, but the next moment he was stunned, “How is that possible? It doesn’t work?”

Although the light of the golden bowl enveloped Feng Xi, it was all. It had no other effect on Feng Xi at all. The child saw that the latter only moved two steps to the right and then walked out of the range of the light.

“What’s impossible? I’m not a ghost. Your stuff should be used against ghosts. Of course, it won’t work on me!” Without thinking, Feng Xi knew what was in his mind.

“Are you really a contestant?” The child became hesitant.

“Didn’t I tell you that I’m an out-and-out contestant and I’m the last one to come in? You haven’t told me who you are. What’s the matter with the pool? Why are the other contestants inside?” Feng Xi lay on the edge of the pool, admiring the situation of the other contestants with interest. Even Lorraine, Ming Qingyu and the others were in it as well, each struggling with his own Evil of Mind.

“Impossible. The contestants won’t be able to get here. Even if one has successfully completed the mission, he will be sent out of the tower. How did you get up to here?” The child didn’t believe it and thought that Feng Xi was lying to him.

“You answer my question first, then I will answer your question. You can’t always be the questioner.”

Feng Xi stared at the pool and ignored him. He didn’t expect this pool to show the situation of the other contestants. Now Lorraine and the others were still fighting with their Evils of Mind. It seemed that they wouldn’t be able to make it within a short time. However, he was more curious about Black Horse. Before entering the tower, he had always thought that the expression in his eyes was strange.

“I am the spirit of this tower. Now you can tell me.” Seeing his casual attitude, the child couldn’t help but be annoyed.

“The spirit of the tower. I got it. They were hit by your sorcery, right? But…” Feng Xi’s gaze suddenly shifted to the child’s face and asked in confusion, “Why are they all hit by the sorcery, except me?”

“You weren’t caught by it?” The sudden appearance of a person made the child a little agitated. He needed to figure out what was going on or his safety would be threatened, but he calmed down because of Feng Xi’s words. He felt it quite incredible, but he denied it soon.

‘”Impossible. My superpower is to arouse the desire and fear in the bottom of one’s heart so that it can be displayed in front of them. No one can hide it. You, with a cultivation level even lower than Great Heaven God, can’t avoid my sorcery. Something must have gone wrong!”

“If you don’t believe me, then count the number of participants. There should be 405 people in total. Now that I’m excluded, there should be only 404 people in the pool!” Feng Xi sat by the pool, having accepted this fact, even though he himself didn’t understand.

The child indeed counted. Phantom Tower was his actual body and these people were in the tower, so he could count it out with just one thought. It turned out that there were only 404 people in the tower. He never believed that someone could escape his sorcery, but now it really happened in front of him.

The child’s complexion was moody. He said after a while, “Tell me what happened before I know where the problem is.”

Feng Xi shrugged his shoulders and then told him everything that happened after he entered the tower. Of course, he deliberately hid the part about pocketing the treasures in the tower.

“I didn’t expect that there is really such kind of person.” The child said after listening to Feng Xi’s words, and then he calculated. After he finally knew the truth, his expression was no longer so stiff. Obviously, he believed Feng Xi’s words.

“What do you mean?” asked Feng Xi.

“You are so strange. You don’t have any demon in the heart or desires. No wonder Phantom Tower’s power doesn’t have any effect on you. However it’s unbelievable. You shouldn’t be old and it’s strange you don’t have any desires. I’m asking you, haven’t you been afraid of anything or people?” The child finally put down his guard and walked to and around Feng Xi. His scorching eyes seemed to penetrate Feng Xi thoroughly.

“Yes!” Feng Xi nodded and said, “I’m afraid that Boss would turn his back on me.”

The child’s corner of mouth twitched. “I’m not referring to this. I mean something or someone that makes you feel afraid.”

“Afraid?” Feng Xi scratched his head and thought for a long time before shaking his head. “No.”

“Your previous life was actually the bloodline of the Heaven Pheonix Royal Dynasty. You should have been a noble prince, but you were tricked by your family members and were eventually reduced to a commoner, and then were adopted by an old beggar. From then on, you lived a meagre life, and eventually became a thief who specialized in stealing other people’s property. Don’t you ever hate your relatives who did this to you?” The child seemed to know Feng Xi very well and recounted the whole story of his previous life.

Feng Xi rolled his eyes. “Excuse me, I only found out that I was a prince after I died.”

“Even if you didn’t know it until death, have you ever hated them?”

“Huh? Why do I hate them?”

“You originally had a superior identity, but because of them, you were reduced to a shameless thief and lived a fearsome life all day. Don’t you hate them?” The child was once again angered by Feng Xi’s casual attitude. How could he not hate them after the facts had been laid there? Unexpectedly, Feng Xi was irritated.

“What did you say? Who said I am a shameless thief? I am obviously a thief master! Don’t mix me with those other thieves. I am much more senior than them. I never steal things from the poor and the good. I only target those corrupted officials and I even gave away everything to the poor. So many people were grateful to me! You don’t know how happy I am!”

The child stroked his forehead–it turned out that this person was actually enjoying his previous life.

“Alright, forget about that. Then don’t you have any desires? For example, uniting the Three Worlds, stepping everyone under your feet.”

“Have I nothing else to do? Only idiot will do those boring things.” Feng Xi said with disdain.

“…You have so many enemies and even have offended the Heaven World. Aren’t you afraid that they will seek revenge against you or that they will mess with you in the dark?” The child had never met someone who was so stubborn.

“You mean Heaven World? ” Feng Xi covered his stomach and laughed. What he worried least about was the Heaven World finding trouble with him because the Heaven World was busy fending for themselves.

“What are you laughing about?” The child was furious. Were his words so funny?

“Nothing. I’m not afraid, but are you done?” Feng Xi waved his hand, not going to tell him the truth.

“I have one last question.” The child was unwilling to give up. He felt that the young man’s heart would definitely have a weak point.

“Okay, shoot, but this is the last one.”

“I know that your soul mate is the King of the Netherworld. Although the King of the Netherworld promised to marry you after the a-hundred-year competition, you have to know that there is no eternal promise in this world and you are not the best. Perhaps one day in the future, someone better than you will appear, or someone more attractive to the King of the Netherworld. What do you want to do then? Have you never thought about this?”

The smile on Feng Xi’s face instantly disappeared and he fell silent.

He finally got his breakthrough. Seeing the young man lowered his head in front of him, the child could not help but show a slight smugness.

The seventh floor was silent for a while. Feng Xi finally raised his head with a hesitating expression. The corners of his eyes seemed to be wet, “I have a question.”

“Say it.” The child’s mood at this moment was undoubtedly sunny, so his answer was straightforward.

“How did you know it?” Feng Xi continued to lower his head, his shoulders trembling.

The child was startled. Could it be…
