In the chaos.
Zhao Shuning felt incredibly light.
Her body was floating in mid - air.
She opened her eyes in the chaos, and all she could see was pure white.
"Where is this?"
Zhao Shuning's head ached terribly.
Her body was also extremely cold.
In the distance, a girl walked towards her with an apologetic look on her face.
She said, "I'm sorry. My mistake has made you suffer."
The young girl was delicately featured, and her clear eyes were fixed on Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning could only ask, "Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that what's going to happen next might be hard for you to bear. All you need to do is put this in your mouth and stay silent. It can keep your soul intact."
Zhao Shuning took the round object that looked like a bead.
"Why should I trust you?"
"Because only I know that you're from five hundred years later, and your name is Zhao Shuning, not Luo Feiyan."
Zhao Shuning was extremely surprised.
"Who are you?"
"I'm sorry."
Apart from these three words, she couldn't say anything else.
Looking at the apologetic look on the girl's face.
Zhao Shuning pretended to be magnanimous and said, "Actually, it's not such a bad thing. I've always been curious about what my master looked like five hundred years ago. This time, I somehow ended up in this plane and got to know a different master. But I don't know why. Seeing my master fall for me in this plane, I'm both happy and a bit indignant."
The girl looked at Zhao Shuning and seemed to know exactly what was on her mind.
"You're thinking that since your master loved someone like this five hundred years ago, even though you know that person was you, you'll feel that his feelings for you later have become tainted, right?"
Zhao Shuning nodded.
"What's your name?"
"You can just call me Nineteen. I'm an envoy who judges the good and evil in the mortal world and forgets all mortal affairs. If it weren't for my negligence, you wouldn't have ended up here."
"Do you have a way to send me back?"
"Everything is predestined. You don't need my help. Just go with the flow, and you'll be able to return to your original plane. Also, the thing you're worried about doesn't exist at all. You don't need to worry needlessly. I still know something about Bu Ran. He's not the kind of person who would fall in love with someone else."
"Of course, I trust my master's character."
The girl gave a charming smile.
"It's getting late. This is all I can do. It's time for you to wake up. Bu Ran must be worried."
In the haze.
The girl was getting farther and farther away.
An urgent call came to Zhao Shuning's ears.
"Ling'er."
There was also Bai Ze's voice.
"Your Majesty, she'll be fine. Don't worry."
"She's been taking the medicine for three days. Why isn't there any sign of her waking up?"
Bai Ze remained silent. It shouldn't have interrupted.
It was afraid that if the girl didn't wake up, His Majesty would take his anger out on it.
"How could this be? Could there be something wrong with my prescription?"
"Xiaobai, is there something wrong with the spiritual herbs you found?"
"Your Majesty, to be honest, even if you manage to wake her up with all your efforts, she won't live long. You've been nourishing her spiritual root with so much spiritual power, but she won't know when she wakes up."
A faint smile appeared on Zhao Shuning's lips.
Yan Ruyu blushed.
"Ling'er?"
Zhao Shuning opened her eyes.
Yan Ruyu let out a sigh of relief.
"You're finally awake."
Zhao Shuning coquettishly rubbed against Yan Ruyu's chest. Her body seemed weak, and her delicate appearance made people's hearts flutter.
"Bu Ran, I'm sorry. I made you worry."
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have made you angry. I shouldn't have been so stubborn."
"I've accomplished everything I wanted to do. From now on, I'll stay by your side and never leave again, okay?"
"Bu Ran, why aren't you saying anything? Are you still angry with me?"
Zhao Shuning wrapped her arms around Yan Ruyu's waist. Seeing this, Bai Ze covered its eyes with its two paws but curiously opened the gaps between its claws slightly to peek at what His Majesty and Miss Luo were doing.
It was really embarrassing.
Yan Ruyu's hand was half - open.
Zhao Shuning was so lively and threw herself into his arms as soon as she woke up, which he didn't expect.
Originally, Yan Ruyu wanted to scold Zhao Shuning, but as soon as she acted coquettishly, his heart was in a complete mess.
The words of blame got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them anymore.
"Bu Ran, don't be angry with me, okay?"
Yan Ruyu finally put his hand down and gently patted Zhao Shuning's back.
He said tenderly, "Silly girl, how could I be angry with you?"
Zhao Shuning retracted into the quilt as if she had received amnesty.
Looking at his empty arms, Yan Ruyu felt a bit empty in his heart.
"Bu Ran, is Xia Qingyan awake?"
"You're in this state and you still think about him?"
"Hehe - you're the best. Just tell me if he's awake."
"Yeah, he is."
Not only was Xia Qingyan awake, but when he heard from Xia Yan how much effort Miss Luo had made to save him and that she was now in a coma, he cried like a child, with tears and snot all over his face.
Seeing that scene, Yan Ruyu felt even more disgusted with him.
It was as if the two of them had made so many sacrifices for each other.
Zhao Shuning said, "That's good. My hard work for the past few months wasn't in vain."
Yan Ruyu's face showed a hint of displeasure.
Zhao Shuning didn't realize her mistake until she said this. But when she looked at Yan Ruyu, he had returned to his usual cold self.
"Bu Ran?"
"Yeah."
His lukewarm voice clearly indicated that he was angry.
"What's wrong with you?"
"You made so many sacrifices for a little prince. You even used your own body to nourish the Xuanshuang Flower. If you needed the Xuanshuang Flower, why didn't you ask me for it? Why did you have to do something that would harm yourself?"
Zhao Shuning blinked her big eyes and asked, "Bu Ran, do you have the Xuanshuang Flower?"
"Yeah."
"Then why...?"
"I didn't know you needed the Xuanshuang Flower. You never told me anything."
Zhao Shuning lowered her head.
She murmured, "I'm sorry."
"I don't really want to hear these three words."
Zhao Shuning said helplessly, "Then tell me what you're mad about. I've already done it. Now that I know you have the Xuanshuang Flower, I regret it so much. But I didn't dare back then. You wouldn't even let me go out. How could I dare to ask you for something?"
"You're being unreasonable."
"Bu Ran, what did you say?"
If she heard correctly, just now, her master said she was being unreasonable. Judging from his expression, it seemed that he still couldn't let go of what happened back then.
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything else.
Zhao Shuning had no choice but to use her trump card and burrowed into Yan Ruyu's arms desperately.
"Alright, alright. You know my physical condition. I'll stay by your side from now on. I promise I won't go anywhere."
After saying that, Zhao Shuning looked at Yan Ruyu expectantly.
She continued, "You can't be angry with me for this one thing for the rest of the time, right? It's not worth it. It's just a waste of the prime of our lives."
