My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

[Ah! I also spotted her at once! Even dressed in the simplest sports gear, she topped with the brightest, most charming face, She was ridiculously stunning!]

[Phoenix! She is THE Phoenix! You can’t tell me you haven’t seen Realm of Illusions! It’s incredible!]

[Are Isabella and Olivia here for a fashion show? Dressed in formal clothes.. how are they supposed to tackle the challenges? Clearly. they haven’t seen the disasters that befell past guests on Adventure Blitz: Two Days, One Night.]

Isabella, dressed up to the nines, stood next to Xanthea in her casual sports attire, and felt like a clown who had worked too hard. She couldn’t hide her imitation. “Xanthea, did you deliberately dress down to make us look bad?”

Xanthea was puzzled. Where did that idea even come from?

“Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to! Playing all these tricks!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“If you think I’m playing tricks, why don’t you just take off your makeup?”

“You…”

“Xan, you smell so nice!” Nelson stood next to her and couldn’t resist sniffing the air around her again. “It’s weird. We all got doused in that stinky skunk cabbage water, how come you smell nothing like it?”

Her eyes widened as she saw the last person to step out. The sky was clear, a gentle breeze flowed, and slivers of golden sunlight peeked through the clouds, casting a heroic glow on the man’s crisp military uniform, which highlighted his sharp, aristocratic features under his cap.
