72 hours had finally passed.
Ye Ci had thought that she would be released before Fleeting Time, but she did not expect that she would be released at the same time as Fleeting Time. The scene that she had in mind was a little different from how she wanted to part ways with Fleeting Time.
She dashed forward, and Fleeting Time followed behind her unhurriedly. The two of them walked in the long passageway of the dungeon, one in front and one behind. They always maintained the same distance, neither longer nor shorter.
The dungeon of Hero City was very long. Light finally shone in after passing through the dark and damp passageway. Ye Ci's heart was filled with excitement. She could finally leave this dark place. She could finally escape from the person who had brought her unspeakable danger. She could not wait to fly out of this place.
"Gongzi You!" Ye Ci heard someone calling out to her just as she was about to run.
She stopped in her tracks and turned around, and saw Fleeting Time slowly making his way towards her. Instead of calling her Little Gongzi, he had called her Gongzi You. Ye Ci was not used to it, but she quickly cast it aside and asked him, "What's wrong?"
Fleeting Time did not speak, and continued to walk towards her. His steps were firm and firm, and gave off a feeling of steadiness. He arrived beside Ye Ci, and then stopped. He lowered his head to look at Ye Ci with an unreadable expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" Ye Ci asked when Fleeting Time remained silent. Her voice was cold and indifferent, but there was no hostility, nor was there the fierceness of an old enemy. It was just her usual tone, seemingly indifferent.
"It's nothing. I just want to see you again." Fleeting Time sighed.
Ye Ci felt a little awkward. No matter what kind of relationship she had with Fleeting Time in the future, Ye Ci did not think that she was close to him. And that sentence was clearly too intimate. This kind of intimacy, coupled with her unreadable emotions, made her momentarily at a loss for words. She could only stand there in a daze, and a monotonous voice came out of her throat: "Oh."
Fleeting Time smiled at Ye Ci's reserved and distant attitude. He then opened up his arms and pulled Ye Ci into a tight embrace.
Ye Ci was startled by the sudden hug. She was stunned for a moment, and immediately began to struggle, "Let go of me, Fleeting Time! What are you doing? Let go of me! "
Fleeting Time did not move an inch. He only let out a long sigh beside Ye Ci's ear. His breath was hot, and it was as if his breath had a magical power that calmed people down. Ye Ci quickly calmed down, and said in a low voice, "Let go of me."
"Let me hug you again." Fleeting Time finally spoke. His voice was low and deep, carrying a kind of sadness that had never been there before. It rippled in the quiet and oppressive space of the cell like water waves.
Ye Ci fell silent after hearing that. She was puzzled. Why am I not retorting? Why am I listening to him? Ye Ci did not know why, but for a moment, she felt a sense of warmth and steadiness in Fleeting Time's embrace. It was a feeling that was different from that of Bai Mo and her parents. It was a feeling that was completely foreign to her.
She stood there quietly with her face resting on Fleeting Time's chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Ye Ci suddenly remembered that there were some people in the world who were not familiar with you, but when you stood next to each other, you would feel so compatible. What was the name of such a person?
Ye Ci did not know. She simply felt that it was a good feeling.
"What a pity. Why are we from opposing continents?" Fleeting Time let out a long sigh of regret.
"What's wrong with that?" It was a good thing for Ye Ci. At the very least, they would not have to see each other so often. She did not know when it started, but she was no longer as comfortable with meeting Fleeting Time as before. Their meetings would always bring an inexplicable fear to her.
She did not like the feeling.
"Of course it's good for you." Fleeting Time smiled bitterly, "It's good for you that you wish that you would never see me again."
Ye Ci could not refute Fleeting Time's words. Fleeting Time did not say a word.
He hugged Ye Ci tightly before letting her go. He lowered his head and looked at Ye Ci. There was something in his eyes that Ye Ci could not decipher, "I look forward to our next meeting."
Next meeting? Ye Ci had never thought about it. She pursed her lips, but for some reason, she did not deny Fleeting Time's words. She stood there quietly and nodded slowly.
"Let's go." Fleeting Time patted Ye Ci's shoulder with a smile, and pointed at a ray of light not far away, "Let's get out of this dungeon."
Ye Ci was stunned. She turned around and looked at Fleeting Time, "What about you?"
Fleeting Time shrugged with a smile, "I have my own place to go."
Ye Ci had never been a curious person. She nodded at Fleeting Time and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon. Fleeting Time stood behind Ye Ci and watched her figure disappear into the light of the dungeon. He took in a deep breath and walked towards the entrance of the dungeon.
"Silent Hymn, what's the matter?" Fleeting Time took a look at his surroundings, but was unable to find Ye Ci. He then pulled up his hood and sent a message to Silent Hymn who had been messaging him.
"Have you been released from prison?" Silent Hymn immediately asked after receiving Fleeting Time's message.
"I've just been released. I'm still at the entrance of the dungeon. What's the matter? " Fleeting Time chose a direction and left the dungeon. While standing at the entrance of the dungeon would not attract much attention, the fact that he was imprisoned with Gongzi You had turned the place into a bustling place. It was not wise for him to stand at the entrance.
"The Captain of Hero City's Guards has issued a quest. Anyone who can clear a dungeon solo will be rewarded with a mysterious map. I suspect that the map might be the key to a dungeon. Many of our guild members have accepted the quest, but no one has succeeded so far. Go take a look and see if you can do it. "Silent Hymn calculated. If no one else could do it, Fleeting Time might be able to do it.
"If so, why don't we have a guide? Why do you need me to do it?" Fleeting Time was puzzled.
"The dungeon is random. Very few players will get the same map. That's why there's no guide." Silent Hymn let out a bitter smile, "Go take a look. I heard that some of Golden Era's frontliners have accepted the quest. We don't want to be left behind."
Fleeting Time nodded in agreement after giving it some thought.
The first thing Ye Ci did after leaving the dungeon was to head to Red Lake City. Her Mysterious Pet Egg should have hatched by now. As the saying goes, 'Sharpening a knife does not take time to chop wood'. If the Pet Egg can be of help to her next step, then her trip to Red Lake City would not have been in vain.
She quickly made her way to the Flight Manager, paid the fee, and boarded a Gryphon. Hero City was a place that she was extremely troubled by. Ye Ci looked back as the Gryphon soared into the sky. Hero City grew smaller and smaller until it finally disappeared into the clouds. She then looked into the distance.
Traveling from Hero City to Champion City, and from Champion City to Red Lake City was a very fast process. It did not take long for Ye Ci to arrive at Red Lake City.
While the incident in Hero City was a thing of the past for Ye Ci, it was a different story for the majority of players. The players were still discussing the post on the forums. They were discussing the love story between Gongzi You of the Eastern Continent and Fleeting Time of the Western Continent.
Ye Ci had heard more than five different versions of the post in just a 10 minute journey from the Teleportation Stone to the City Hall. She rolled her eyes. What else could she do other than pretend that she did not hear anything? As the saying goes, rumors stop with the wise. Obviously, in the eyes of the majority of players, being a wise person was obviously not as interesting as being a gossipy commoner. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people actively involved in this topic. However, it would take some time for the rumors to die down.
Ye Ci let out a sigh. Faced with such a situation, she had no other choice but to keep a low profile. She stretched out her hand and pulled down the hood that was already on her head, burying her entire face in the shadow of the cloak. She quickened her pace and walked towards the pet incubation shop.
She soon saw the pet incubator shop. With the release of the new patch, there were more ways for players to obtain pet eggs. The pet incubator shop was now bustling with activity. It seemed that business was doing well. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
