Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

"When you need to use the body, just do it, I won't care anymore."

"Okay!" Shen Ye said.

He looked down below.

The wilderness was vast, blanketed with white snow.

The forest merged with the mountain range, all covered by heavy snowfall.

Although the snow was quite thick.

Although the little girl's physique was quite light.

But to fall from several thousand meters high would still be a one-way ticket to death.

"Do you know how to glide?"

Shen Ye asked.

"No!" the little girl said.

"Use your coat to block some wind, I'll teach you a trick," Shen Ye said.

He only had 1.3 seconds, he had to teach her something.

"...Baxter, you aren't planning on teaching me how to fly at this moment, are you? We're about to hit the ground." The little girl stared, no longer afraid of the wind.

"Of course not, just a small skill, later when you switch with me again, you can use it to control the physique," Shen Ye said hastily.

"Then hurry up, we're about to crash into the forest!"

"Okay!"

Shen Ye moved in front of her and immediately performed the "Moonlight Deer Step" movement technique—

"Moonlight Deer Step" consists of dodge, rush, and misplace.

With limited time, Shen Ye only demonstrated the most basic "dodge" once.

"Did you see that clearly?"

"The snowstorm is too heavy... I can't see very well."

"Watch it again!"

Shen Ye demonstrated it once more.

"How about now?"

"I saw a little more clearly."

"Then one more time!"

He demonstrated again.

"I saw it clearly this time," Charlotte said proactively, "but we're about to crash to our deaths."

Shen Ye looked.

Below was a dense jungle.

"Afraid?"

"Not afraid." The little girl finished speaking, then couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.

Her figure streaked past the treetops, heading straight for a clearing in the woods.

It was too late!

In an instant.

Shen Ye flew up, his figure overlapping with the little girl's, taking control of the body.

By then, the little girl was just a few centimeters from the thick blanket of snow on the ground, about to crash to her death.

"Portal."

The little girl suddenly shouted in a low voice.

One of her hands was placed in front of her chest, while the other was held behind her back, palm angled to target a towering tree in the distance.

A glimmer of light flashed, revealing a row of glowing text:

"You have activated the 'Portal' ability."

"You have also activated 'Stellar Shift', setting an inclined portal coordinate behind you."

The second hand ticked.

1 second!

Whoosh—

A door opened in front of the little girl.

She shot into it vertically.

But behind her, an inclined door appeared at the same time.

The little girl burst out of this inclined door, flying like a cannonball toward the distant towering tree.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhh—"

She screamed in panic, flailing her arms and legs, while the wind and snow poured into her mouth.

The 1.3 seconds had passed.

Shen Ye detached from her body, shouting loudly from the side:

"Calm down! Pay attention to dodging, don't get smashed to death!"

The little girl called out even louder.

She grabbed the oncoming branch with both hands, pulled it into a bow shape, and immediately released it upon hearing a "crack" noise, gracefully stepping through the trees and hopping onto another branch.

—Moonlight Deer Step!

"Beautiful!"

Shen Ye cheered.

The little girl stepped on the branch, leaning her body forward then backward, rowing with her hands as she let out a series of sharp "ah ah ah ah" screams.

After a while, she finally steadied herself.

Shen Ye also heaved a sigh of relief.

The five-year-old kid was quite capable; it was no wonder she would grow up to become one of the top powerhouses in the universe.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared and formed into words:

"Authentication item: Tooth."

"First synchronization complete."

"Synchronization rate: 0.37%."

"No rejection detected."

"Synchronization time increased to: 1.9 seconds."

"Next synchronization available in ten minutes."

Unexpectedly, there was a possibility of rejection.

But since I saved her life, naturally I wouldn't be rejected, though who knows about the future.

No good.

She must not reject me.

"Baxter!" Charlotte called out angrily.

"I'm here!" Shen Ye responded.

"You can fly, can't you? Why do I have to jump around by myself?"

"Because you're a genius, and such a fantastic thing, Charlotte should also give it a try."

"...Hmph."

"To be accurate, it's not okay if only I can fight, Charlotte, you also need to learn to fight."

"Why?"

"To protect yourself—for example, that test, do you like being tested?"

"No."

"If you're good at fighting, no one will dare to subject you to such tests."

"Really?"

"Truly."

"Alright... but what do we do now? It's so cold here, I'm afraid I'll freeze if we take too long, and I'm very hungry."

"Listen."

The two of them listened intently together.

The cold wind blew through the forest sea, bringing waves of the sounds of pine waves.

Faintly, the roar of a wild beast carried from afar.

"Charlotte, have you acquired any abilities in that white world?"

Shen Ye asked.

The voice seemed to be that of a bear.

Bears can climb trees.

We must find a way to get out of this crisis immediately.

"I don't know what Charlotte can do; she's always so mysterious."

The girl's tone became gentle and calm.

Shen Ye turned to look at her.

She was also looking at Shen Ye and smiled at him:

"I am Lancy, who are you?"

Was this the girl's original personality?

"I am Baxter, I just escaped with Charlotte from that place, and now it seems there are wild beasts around, so you better keep quiet," Shen Ye said.

"Escaping is really nice, thank you, Baxter," Lancy said with emotion.

While they talked, an adult brown bear burst out of the distant jungle.

Lancy blew a whistle at the brown bear.

"Don't worry, Baxter."

She said.

Immediately, the brown bear looked up and saw the little girl in the tree.
