Robin's fairy lake-like emerald pupils reflected her own headless body. The originally mirror-clear "lake surface" was shattered by ripples of terror.
"This is just a little trick of the Herrscher of the Void. Haven't you seen a similar ability before?"
Ye Feng's gentle laughter brought Robin back to her senses as if from a dream. She tried her best to calm down.
"Don't be nervous. Try to feel it. What's been separated is space, not your body. You should still be able to control yourself."
Robin froze, then thought of her hands. Sure enough, the commands from her brain's central nervous system were getting through.
The palm of the elegant and delicate body lying on the red carpet clenched into a fist.
"See? I didn't lie to you."
Ye Feng gave Robin a refreshing smile.
The cosmic diva could feel that her body was still under her control. It didn't bring her peace of mind, only a sense of… the bizarre and grotesque.
This experience was too terrible. She absolutely did not want to go through it a second time.
"Why would you do something like this…?"
"Why does there have to be a 'why' for everything in the world? I just felt like playing with you like this."
"…"
Robin pressed her cherry lips together wordlessly.
Just to play with me? As expected, this person is vile.
All sorts of evil people exist in the universe.
Robin closed her eyes. She knew that this time, she might not be able to escape.
A wave of bitterness washed over the cosmic diva's heart.
The pure, beautiful, elegant, and kind cosmic diva even saw her life flashing before her eyes…
Robin and her brother were orphans from a young age, victims of the Cancer of All Worlds, and were later adopted and raised by The Family who came to their aid. Seeing the siblings' potential, Sunday brought them to Penacony.
Robin was a natural-born star of the cosmic stage, using her voice to sing the praises of [The Harmony] to the entire universe.
In the family of [The Harmony], there was no hierarchy. Everyone could bathe in the hymns of the Thousand-Faced God, sharing all hardships and happiness.
Now, Robin finally had a stable life and the opportunity to pursue her dreams, while those still in the abyss and adrift without support must still be waiting for hope.
Robin wanted to use her voice to soothe their pain, dispel their fears, and encourage them to walk out of the darkness and find their own happiness and peace.
Although the road was long, Robin knew that as long as she didn't give up, she could realize her wish, bit by bit.
Robin hoped her songs could bring peace to everyone, and she had always walked firmly on this path.
The cosmic diva, both in her figure and her dreams, was so brilliant and dazzling.
And yet now, her dream was not even half-realized when it came to an untimely end, and she had fallen into the cage of an evil man.
The sorrow in Robin's heart grew deeper…
"Hey, are you done reminiscing?"
Ye Feng, holding Robin's head, said speechlessly, "I'm not some kind of demon. You don't need to be so pessimistic."
"…"
The young woman paid no heed to Ye Feng's words. She pressed her cherry lips together. The greasy residue on them reflected a silvery, honey-like sheen, and a single, curled black hair was stuck to her fair and delicate cheek, giving her a tragic, broken beauty.
"Looks like I really scared you. Sorry, sorry, my bad. I'll put you back together now."
Ye Feng held Robin's head, comforting her in a soft, gentle voice.
"But, before that, come on, give me a kiss. Just on the head."
"?"
The cosmic diva instinctively wanted to refuse. Her singing voice, her cherry lips, had been treated as treasures since she was a child.
Something like a kiss would never happen to Robin.
She was an idol. Her very existence represented purity.
And it had to be pure.
But before Robin could react, Ye Feng, holding her beautiful head, let his hands fall naturally.
"??"
Robin's pupils instantly contracted violently.
This!
Where was this a kiss?!!
Robin's mind went completely blank. Her head was buzzing, and a high-pitched ringing filled her ears.
It wasn't until Ye Feng had reattached her head that Robin awoke as if from a dream.
A layer of mist covered her eyes. She frantically wiped her mouth with the back of her white, lace-gloved hand, rubbing her delicate, crystalline cherry lips over and over.
But the more she wiped, the more the faint odor lingering on her lips was forced into her nostrils…
"Rua~~~"
The superstar supported herself on the floor and began to dry heave, and crystalline saliva trickled down from the corner of her mouth.
"Whoa, is it that bad? This reaction is really hurting my feelings, Miss Robin."
Ye Feng stood by the window, as imposing as a mountain, blocking the incoming sunlight.
Robin looked up. What she saw was a massive shadow blotting out the sun. Behind it, some indescribable things seemed to be extending, twisting, whispering.
Robin stared at Ye Feng in a daze, as if she had lost the ability to speak.
"Are you alright?"
Ye Feng's face was filled with worry as he asked with concern, "My idol, you're not broken already, are you? Never mind, I'll just have to wipe your memory again."
"!!"
Hearing this, Robin felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Wipe my memory?
He can manipulate memories? Is he a messenger from the Garden of Recollection?
Wait, again? What does he mean by 'again'?
Could it be that before, I also…
Ye Feng slowly raised his hand, covering Robin's eyes. His low voice sounded in her ear.
"There's no need to be sad. Your first kiss didn't happen here. It was on a romantic night. You and I were strolling on the silver sands of a moonlit sea. The water was gentle, the wind was gentle, and the aurora suddenly appeared on the horizon, lighting up the clear, watery night sky. You turned to tell me to look at where the sea met the sky, but you touched my lips instead. You pulled away as if electrocuted, but soon after, you shyly took my hand, our fingers intertwined, and our lips met once more… How about that? It's one of your most beautiful fantasies, isn't it?"
"?"
"Didn't I tell you? I have to repay the kindness first, then take my revenge."
Impossible! Even if I die! I would never kiss someone like you!
Robin's heart cried out.
She denied it with all her might.
How could I… How could it be possible!
"It's alright. You've said it before, too. You said you would stay with me for all of eternity. I asked, 'Until death do us part?' You placed your finger on my lips and said softly, 'Not even death can separate us.'"
Impossible!
"Sigh, and you even said you would never forget me. Look, you don't remember at all, do you, Miss Robin?"
Impossible! Impossible!
"…"
Ye Feng's words were like a demon's whisper, constantly battering Robin's psychological defenses.
Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!
Just as she was about to let out a scream with her beautiful singing voice, her consciousness once again plunged into darkness.
Robin felt as if she had been thrown into a vortex, at times stretched long, at times shrunken short.
Then spinning, twisting, and another flip…
Robin slowly opened her eyes.
It was bright outside the window. The lingering gloom had finally dispersed, and warm sunlight streamed in, making her whole body feel warm and indescribably comfortable.
"Is it morning already?"
Robin stood up gracefully. Her beautiful legs, revealed from beneath the hem of her dress, seemed to be coated in a layer of light, their skin smooth and fair.
She looked out the window at the refreshing, high blue sky and stretched comfortably.
"Mmm-hmm~ It's such a beautiful day today."
