Ye Ling hadn't expected so many things to happen during her time back in the space.

About an hour and a half had passed outside. According to the outside time, she should rest for at most two more hours before continuing her journey.

Ye Boxuan didn't speak, but instead lifted the thin blanket and let her lie down.

At this moment, Ye Ling dared not refuse, so she quickly lay down obediently.

Ye Boxuan hugged her tightly and whispered, "Let me hold you and sleep for a while."

"good."

Ye Ling noticed Ye Boxuan's change, and she bit her lip, thinking that she would make it up to him if things didn't work out later.

That's what Ye Ling was thinking, but whether it was because she was too tired or too comfortable lying in Ye Boxuan's arms, she actually fell asleep without realizing it.

After Ye Ling fell asleep, Ye Boxuan slowly opened his eyes and stared at her.

Although the brothers had reached a consensus beforehand, they only realized they weren't as magnanimous as they thought when it actually happened, and finally understood the bitterness and helplessness in their eldest brother's heart.

Everyone wants her, but there's only one of her. They don't want her to suffer, so they can only keep their feelings to themselves and suffer in silence.

Ye Ling woke up suddenly after sleeping for four hours.

Ye Boxuan quickly hugged her tightly: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Ye Ling gasped for breath, then looked up and met Ye Boxuan's gaze: "Ye Boxuan, I saw some images in my dream. I don't know if they were real or just a dream."

"What dream? Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Ye Ling swallowed hard, gradually calming down as she said, "In my dream, I saw five or six cities in the Central Plains frozen in water, and tens of millions of people froze to death in the water."

She suddenly hugged Ye Boxuan's neck and buried her face in the crook of his neck: "Everyone's expression was filled with despair. In my dream, I heard them shouting, and they were all saying how cold it was."

In my dream, I also saw the capital city. It was well-preserved on the surface, the city seemed intact, and the people appeared to be doing well except for being cold. But Ye Boxuan, do you know what I saw?

Ye Boxuan hugged her tightly, gently kissed the top of her head, and softly asked, "What is it?"

Ye Ling said with lingering fear, "I saw that the capital was protected by a giant array, but the outer perimeter of the array, including the sky above, was constantly attacked by a dense array of strange creatures, and there was also a sky full of evil energy trying to invade the capital."

The peace in the capital city won't last long before it's shattered. Ye Boxuan, you said my dreams about these things were just a dream?

In fact, Ye Ling knew in her heart that these things in her dream should be real events, since she rarely dreamed, and when she did dream, it meant that something had already happened or was about to happen.

Moreover, she also has precognitive abilities.

The first half of the dream was too cruel, and the second half was too mysterious and unbelievable; she needed time to process it.

After listening, Ye Boxuan remained silent for a while before saying, "You haven't had any precognitive images for a while now. This sudden dream is probably a hint to you."

"Once we've rested, we'll head to the capital. We need to meet up with Night Rat and the others there, and also search for the Heart of Earth."

Ye Ling's mind was filled with the frozen faces of those people. She couldn't take it anymore and sat up, clutching her chest and saying, "Ye Boxuan, I need to distract myself, otherwise those creepy images keep popping into my head."

Ye Boxuan sat up and kissed her lips, and the terrifying images in Ye Ling's mind immediately lessened considerably.

After a long while, Ye Boxuan released her: "Does it still remain in your mind?"

Ye Ling: Yes

……………………

Ye Boxuan whispered affectionately in her ear: "Lingling, I am completely yours now. You have to take responsibility for me and not forget me just because you have other men."

Ye Ling joked, "How do you expect me to take responsibility? Should I throw you a grand wedding in the small world and then marry you all one by one?"

Ye Boxuan chuckled softly in her ear: "I couldn't be happier. If you don't want to marry us, then we'll marry you and let you live like a queen."

Ye Ling chuckled, "That's a good suggestion. I'll have to work hard to become stronger."

I must protect you all and not let anyone else take you away, otherwise my life as a queen will be over.

Ye Boxuan gazed at his beloved girl with loving eyes. He considerately tucked her stray hairs behind her ear and watched her mischievous antics.

He said, "If we work together, when the end times are over, we will live our own lives in our own little world."

"good"

A blur of motion swept through a pack of eerie wolves, instantly felling the ferocious pack. Ye Ling appeared not far away, and with a wave of her hand, multicolored crystal cores flew out from the bodies of the eerie wolves.

She said to Jiang Yin, who came out of the space, "You're lucky, they're all level three crystal cores. You take them, we'll find more if we don't have enough."

Jiang Yin happily accepted it, "That's great! If my experiment is successful, the power of that crystal core bomb will definitely be comparable to a nuclear weapon."

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow: "That powerful? But nuclear weapons can't be used recklessly. Have you ever seen your country use them?"

Jiang Yin: "Other countries have used it, haven't they? Sister, once my experiment is successful, its power is truly terrifying; it could easily destroy a city of five million people."

We may not need it, but we can't be without it. If we ever encounter a siege by strange creatures, having this would be an extra layer of protection.

Ye Ling's expression turned serious: "Once the extreme cold ends, the strange species you mentioned will appear and besiege and massacre the city. Go back to your space and continue your experiments. Tell us what you need, and we'll try our best to meet your needs."
