Han Yunxi was all too familiar with Long Fei Ye's fear right now. He'd felt the same way when she told him she wasn't the real young miss of the Han Clan.
She didn't know how he'd managed to quell that fear afterwards. Perhaps he'd never quelled it, but kept it buried deep in his heart, somewhere she couldn't see.
But now it was impossible to hide it. It was evident in his voice, his face, and his eyes.
Han Yunxi wanted to tell him, "I don't know."
But his fear told her he could guess what was going on and where it was.
"Ye, that's …" Han Yunxi choked on her sobs. "That's the world 3,000 years in the future."
Long Feiye's gaze was soft as he looked at Han Yunxi. He didn't say a word, but he slowly tightened his grip on her hand, pulling her even tighter.
Seeing his pale face and blood-soaked body, Han Yunxi's heart ached so much that tears streamed down her face. She couldn't speak, but she held on tightly to him.
Unfortunately, the strength of the two of them was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in front of the force that was pulling them down. It was insignificant.
Han Yunxi was pulled down bit by bit until her feet were already in the water. She mustered all her strength and pulled harder and harder.
But it was at this moment that a wave of dizziness swept over her, both familiar and unfamiliar. The ice crystal was rampaging through the poison storage space. She couldn't control it. As the dizziness grew stronger, she began to lose strength and couldn't hold on to Long Fei Ye.
"Feiye … hold on tight … hold on tight!"
As she mumbled, her consciousness began to blur.
Feiye, hold on tight …
Feiye, don't let go … don't let go no matter what!
She had no idea what was happening. Was she unconscious? Or had she fallen into a dream?
She didn't know if the world had gone dark, or if she couldn't see anything. In any case, all she could see was darkness.
However, she could see her own hands. She saw someone holding her hand and walking in the darkness. Her eyes followed the hand up, but she couldn't see the person's face. She'd had this dream many times before.
Every time, she couldn't see that person's face.
Who … was he?
Was it Long Fei Ye?
She only felt weak all over and gradually felt like she was falling, as if she was going to fall into the abyss and into another world.
"Feiye, save me!"
"Feiye, don't let go, don't!"
"I beg you … don't let go … I don't want to leave you … don't …"
Just as she was crying, the man reached out his other hand and said, "Here, hold on tight."
This voice …
This voice belonged to Long Fei Ye!
It's him!
In the recurring dream, the person holding her hand was Long Fei Ye.
His other hand was also holding her. She looked at his other hand and saw that there was a deep bite mark between his thumb and index finger!
That was the mark she had left for him.
He had said that the birthmark was a bite mark left behind by his lover in his previous life.
It was Long Fei Ye, there was no mistake about it!
But why was it that the more she looked at the bite mark, the more she felt that something was wrong?
Was this a bite mark, or a birthmark?
"Feiye, is this a bite mark … or a birthmark?"
She murmured and subconsciously raised her head to look. In that instant, all the darkness around her was dispelled by the light. The sudden burst of light blinded her eyes.
She heard a cacophony of sounds around her, including hurried footsteps, emergency bells, patients arguing with doctors, the call of the queue system, and the sounds of equipment being turned on in the operating room.
These sounds were familiar and long-awaited!
Was she startled?
Could it be that she was back?
No …
She subconsciously opened her eyes and looked up. At this moment, she finally saw the person who was holding her hand.
This person …
He wore a shirt and trousers, had a refined and handsome figure, and short hair. His features were indescribably handsome, especially those deep, dark eyes that were enchanting and mysterious. They were so cold that they kept people at arm's length, but they also had a charm that drew people like moths to a flame. Anyone who fell into them would fall for them forever, unable to extricate themselves.
Han Yunxi looked into those all-too-familiar eyes and felt as if she had returned to the first time they met. She began to cry and wail.
She couldn't tell if this was the "first time" or "goodbye."
Just what was going on?
Was this a dream?
Had the past ten years in Cloud Realm Continent been a dream?
Or perhaps, everything she saw at this moment was just a dream?
He wasn't him, he was him, a dream wasn't a dream, a dream like a dream … She didn't understand, nor did she care. She only wanted to know, was he still here?
"Feiye, is that you? Long Fei Ye … is that you? Is that you? "
… …
While she was crying, he suddenly laughed.
"Yunxi, I've been looking for you for 3,000 years. Can't you give me an exception for cutting in line? I … really missed you. "
She was stunned.
Could it be that he was the director of Lingyun Group, the Mr. Li who'd been brought here by the director to cut in line?
She didn't care, she only wanted Long Fei Ye!
"Who are you? Just who are you? "
"Are you Long Fei Ye … are you?"
… …
She wailed until her vision blurred. She couldn't see the person in front of her anymore.
She anxiously wiped away her tears, but couldn't see him anymore! All the light receded and all the sound disappeared. Their surroundings returned to their original darkness and stillness.
She stared blankly at her hands before realizing … that she'd let go, and he'd let go as well.
"Feiye … Long Fei Ye, come back!"
"Where are you? You're back? "
"Come back ah … don't leave me behind! Don't … "
… …
She cried and shouted as she walked around in the darkness, searching everywhere.
Suddenly!
She stopped and looked down, only to discover that her feet had been sealed in ice.
This …
"Yunxi, wake up! Don't cry … I'm here. "
"Yunxi, I've always been here. Wake up …"
Long Fei Ye's voice reached her ears. It was so close, as if he was right in front of her eyes.
Han Yunxi's eyes flew open from her hazy dream, only to discover that Long Fei Ye was right in front of her. She and Long Fei Ye were still trapped at the bottom of the ice cave.
Everything that had happened just then had been a dream!
There was no hospital, no Lingyun Group, no Mr. Li … there was nothing!
There was only Long Fei Ye in front of her.
Long Fei Ye was still holding her hands tightly. The marks on Long Fei Ye's purlicue were real bite marks, not birthmarks.
"Yunxi, you … what's wrong? Your legs … "Long Fei Ye's face was filled with fear.
Han Yunxi looked back and saw that her legs really had been sealed in ice. Moreover, the chill was slowly creeping up until it was about to freeze her entire body.
Once her legs were sealed in ice, the force pulling her down seemed to have disappeared.
"Could it be the energy of the ice crystals?" Han Yunxi exclaimed.
"Release the ice crystals, quick!" Long Fei Ye said anxiously.
Han Yunxi wanted to expel the ice crystals from her poison storage space, but discovered that they'd already shattered.
That's right, when Yan 'er unleashed her Phoenix energy, the ice crystals had already shattered and destroyed the Ice Sea. Han Yunxi had only summoned fragments of the ice crystals. As soon as they left Han Yunxi's body, the ice on Han Yunxi's body shattered and the force pulling her down reappeared.
At this moment, her body slipped, and half of her body fell into the icy pool.
She and Long Fei Ye exchanged surprised glances. Long Fei Ye hurriedly grabbed onto her, but he couldn't hold on to her. Han Yunxi continued to fall. Moreover, the surrounding ice was beginning to melt. In a short period of time, a lot of water seeped out. Even the hole in the ice looked like it was about to melt.
Han Yunxi had no choice but to put the ice crystals back into her poison storage space. Once the ice crystals entered her poison storage space, more than half of her body was sealed in ice. The force pulling her down also disappeared instantly.
Everything was still.
She and Long Fei Ye looked at each other in disbelief.
What was the secret of the Ice Sea and the ice crystals? What did all of this have to do with Phoenix energy?
"My Phoenix energy awakened the ice crystals. Yan 'er's Phoenix energy destroyed the Ice Sea and the ice crystals?" Han Yunxi muttered. "Yan 'er's Phoenix energy is definitely at the tenth grade. It's comparable to my Lustbite." Long Fei Ye was very sure. He could determine that power.
All around them were ice shards. None of them had melted into water. If the Ice Sea was destroyed, this place should have turned into a vast ocean. Could it be that the Ice Sea was not completely destroyed because the ice crystals were trapped in Han Yunxi's poison storage space?
Thinking back to when she took out the ice crystals, everything around her started to melt. Han Yunxi roughly understood what was going on.
Phoenix energy could destroy the ice crystals. After the ice crystals were destroyed, the energy released could destroy the Ice Sea and open up a space-time tunnel. She trapped the ice crystals in her poison storage space. In reality, she trapped the energy from the ice crystals in her poison storage space.
The Three Great Clans were mainly fighting for the power of the ice crystals. They must have coveted the strength of this energy. They didn't know the true secret behind this energy. Now, she used her body to withstand this energy. She stopped this energy from leaking out. The price she paid was to be sealed in ice.
Han Yunxi understood. Long Fei Ye also understood.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
The Profound Ice had already spread to Han Yunxi's heart and was still spreading upwards. Her face and lips were so pale that Long Fei Ye was afraid.
In the end, they were still going to lose her!
He could see it with his own eyes, but he was powerless!
Long Fei Ye looked at his wife gradually being sealed in ice. His eyes finally grew wet as he asked, "Yunxi, if Beiyue was here, what would he choose? Would he be even crueler than me? "
Would he choose to protect Han Yunxi, give up on the Ice Sea, and give up on the hundred thousand herders of the Northern Li grasslands?
Or would he choose to give up on Han Yunxi and protect the shattered Ice Sea?
It was time to make a choice again! Long Fei Ye didn't need to say anything. Han Yunxi understood his difficulties.
Back then, when he was hesitating over whether to save Ning Jing at Three-Way Black Market and had no choice but to make a cruel choice, Gu Beiyue had said this to him.
Gu Beiyue had said, "Your Highness, this isn't cruelty. This is making a choice. There's only right and wrong in making a choice. There's no such thing as mercy or cruelty."
What was right and what was wrong?
To protect the world and its people, was it right to abandon one's wife and children?
If it was Gu Beiyue, what would he choose?
The Profound Ice had already spread to Han Yunxi's neck and arms. She looked at Long Fei Ye as tears streamed down her cheeks. "Your Highness … Your Highness …"
It'd been a long, long time since she'd called him "Your Highness." Just how many memories did it contain?
Your Highness, if it's possible. Yunxi is willing to call you Your Highness forever and be your Qin Wangfei forever. There's no East Qin, Western Qin, or Great Qin.
Unfortunately, we're all people with no choice.
"Your Highness, Yunxi … can't bear to part with you."
