Tang Nian bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying her best to suppress the tears that might burst out at any time.

Tang Nian and Tang San, a pair of siblings, have exactly the same personalities. They are both competitive and unwilling to show weakness.

Even if the two of them suffered a lot of grievances and pain on weekdays, they always chose to bear it silently, grit their teeth and swallow it, and never let outsiders see any clues.

However, at this moment when Tang Nian's eyes fell on Shi Ye's figure, the grievances that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart suddenly burst out like a mountain torrent and could no longer be contained.

Tang Nian raised her foot without hesitation, and ran towards Shi Ye as fast as the wind. In the blink of an eye, she leaped up like a light bird and threw herself into Shi Ye's broad and warm arms without reservation.

Faced with this sudden situation, Shi Ye was slightly stunned at first, but his body reacted subconsciously and he stretched out his hands steadily to catch Tang Nian.

He looked down at the person in his arms, his eyes filled with heartache.

Shi Ye hugged Tang Nian gently and tightened his arms carefully, as if he wanted to pass all the warmth in his body to her.

Tang Nian was like a small boat drifting on the sea, finding a safe haven. Tang Nian buried his head tightly in Shi Ye's broad chest, quietly listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and there were only two of them left in the world.

Finally, the tears that Tang Nian had been trying to hold back burst out completely, like pearls from a broken string, one after another rolling down from the corners of her eyes.

Those crystal clear tears, like pearls that had broken off the string, slowly slid down her snow-white, delicate cheeks.

Wherever the tears passed, they left behind clearly visible tear marks, as if they were lines carved on white jade, poignant and moving.

In the blink of an eye, these tears quickly gathered into a small stream, soaking the clothes on Shi Ye's chest.

The area stained with tears gradually darkened in color, like an inky flower blooming in the darkness, exuding a heartbreaking breath.

Facing the person crying so sadly in front of him, Shi Ye remained silent.

Complex emotions were surging in his eyes, as deep as a pool of water.

However, he did not comfort her with words, but silently stretched out his broad and warm palms and gently patted Tang Nian's head again and again.

Time passed minute by minute, and after a long time, Tang Nian finally stopped crying, but she would still choke occasionally.

Her voice was trembling slightly with grievance and fear, which made people feel distressed. At this moment, her eyes were already red and swollen from crying, like two ripe peaches, and her small nose was twitching slightly from time to time because of sobbing, like a wounded little rabbit.

"Just now... I almost died." Tang Nian finally squeezed out these few words, his words filled with fear and terror of surviving a disaster.

Hearing these words, an indescribable pain suddenly surged from Shi Ye's heart and quickly spread to his whole body.

For a moment, Shi Ye felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and even breathing became a little difficult.

After a long while, he managed to find his voice, but it was a little hoarse, "I know, Nian Nian, it's all my fault, I came too late... I will never do this again, Nian Nian."

After hearing what Shi Ye said, Tang Nian felt a little comforted.

But she still shook her head stubbornly, buried her head even harder in Shi Ye's arms, and said in a muffled voice, "It's not your fault, it's because I'm not strong enough. If I could be stronger, maybe this wouldn't have happened today."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ye unconsciously tightened his arms around Tang Nian, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

He lowered his head, gently kissed the top of Tang Nian's head, and said softly, "Nian Nian, don't say that. I won't do that again in the future."

Although Shi Ye's voice was very light and soft, it seemed to contain endless power, as if it was an eternal oath.

"Yeah..." Tang Nian responded softly, hugging Shi Ye's waist tightly with both hands, feeling the warmth and sense of security coming from him.

At this moment, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Tang Nian slowly and gently withdrew from Shi Ye's warm embrace.

At that moment, a hint of shyness suddenly flashed in her big, lively eyes, as fleeting as a shooting star in the night sky.

At the same time, a faint blush quietly climbed up her fair cheeks, as if someone had gently applied a thin layer of rouge on it with the softest brushstrokes, making Tang Nian look even more charming and beautiful at this moment, making people feel pity for her.

Shi Ye, who had been staring at Tang Nian, couldn't help but feel an urge to get closer to her again when he saw her being so shy and lovely.

However, his remaining rationality told him that now was not the right time. After all, Tang Nian was still young, and any overly intimate behavior would be inappropriate.

So, even though his heart was filled with desire, Shi Ye finally forced himself to suppress this impulse.

However, the look he gave Tang Nian was still as gentle as water, as if it could melt everything in the world.

"You haven't completed the first test of Yama God yet, right? What else do you want to do next? I'll accompany you." Shi Ye said softly, his tone firm and caring.

Hearing Shi Ye's words, Tang Nian raised his head, looked at him hesitantly, and asked, "But... you didn't pass the test of Yama God, can you really accompany me? Isn't it inappropriate?"

Shi Ye couldn't help but laugh when he heard that. He reached out and gently rubbed Tang Nian's hair, saying, "My little Tang Nian, why do you think so? Yama God is a high and mighty god. There is nothing in this world that he doesn't know. The fact that I was able to find this place and enter it smoothly speaks for itself. This is naturally with his tacit approval. Moreover, even if I am with you, I will never interfere too much in your assessment, so you can rest assured."

After listening to Shi Ye's explanation, Tang Nian frowned and thought seriously for a while.

Finally, Tang Nian nodded, agreeing to let Shi Ye accompany him to complete the remaining assessment tasks.

In the first test of Yama God, Tang Nian had to complete two tasks. One was to kill the Netherworld Snake King, and the other was to gain the recognition of the Netherworld Snake Clan.
