Oh. My. Fate?! (BL, Volume 12, Part 1)
Awakening in an unfamiliar expanse of white, Xin Lan finds himself miraculously not dead after a confrontation with Tian. But his survival comes with a catch: the man he wants to confirm is safe, Jinde, is nowhere to be found, and the annoying fallen god Xiang Yu stands guard. As a new threat looms in the Nine Heavens, involving a mysteriously fallen deity and the disappearance of the Heavenly Prince, Xin Lan is drawn into a high-stakes search where ancient powers collide and hidden truths unravel. Can he navigate the chaos to find Jinde and protect those he cares for, or will the unfolding events drag him into a fate far more dangerous than death?Xin Lan blinked, his silver brows furrowing against the pale blue sky. He was alive. The realization came with a dull ache in his head, a reminder of whatever Tian had done instead of ending him. The world around him was a blur of white and the jagged, unfamiliar stones of a desolate landscape.
“Doesn’t look like the afterlife,” he mumbled, pushing himself upright. He wasn’t dead, which was a plus, he supposed, though he hardly had anything left to live for. Now, the pressing question was whether Tian had actually helped Jinde or not. There had been no exchange, no clear sign.
He swayed slightly as he rose, taking a moment to gather his bearings. The Dragon Realm. He needed to get back there. He needed to know if Jinde was alright.
