Chapter 23

“You are not Li Tianyi.” Rong Rong looked silently at the man in front of her and sadly came to this conclusion.

The air seemed to freeze instantly, and only the soft breathing of the two people remained inside the carriage.

'Li Tianyi' put down the handkerchief, his previous helplessness vanished, and the gentle smile on his face gradually disappeared, turning into a blank expression.

Rong Rong stared intently into 'Li Tianyi's' dark eyes. The other party had a strong aura and was calm and composed. Although he had the exact same face as Li Tianyi, he gave people a distinctly different feeling.

Rong Rong thought to herself that she seemed to have unleashed a ferocious beast.

“You killed him.” Rong Rong’s eyes reddened and filled with tears.

The thought of her beloved dying fills her with unbearable heartache.

The pain even made her ignore her fear of the man in front of her, causing her to glare at him hatefully, wishing she could tear him to pieces.

'Li Tianyi', also known as Prince Yu, silently met Rong Rong's gaze.

Having held a high position and wielded great power, he had received far too many similar looks, and countless people wanted to kill him, but he never cared and paid them any attention.

But at this moment, the intense hatred filling those two clear, bright eyes deeply burned his eyes and pierced his heart.

It turns out he wasn't an indifferent person; it turns out he could also experience such strong emotional fluctuations.

“No,” Prince Yu said in a deep voice, “but he is indeed dead, you don’t need to wait any longer.”

After saying this, Prince Yu offered no further explanation, stood up abruptly, and said, "You should rest well," before turning and leaving the carriage.

Prince Yu never lies. He didn't harm Li Tianyi. He only finished off the seriously injured Yang Yan after Yang Yan killed Li Tianyi. He was the one who slew the cicada, and also the ultimate victor.

Now, no one in the world knows how to break the love spell, and no one can share the love of a beautiful woman with him anymore.

Rong Rong sat indifferently in the carriage, her heart filled with pain and confusion, but she felt no hatred for the man from before. Her resentful gaze earlier was merely a facade.

On the contrary, she not only did not hate the other person, but even felt happy about his contact, just like the madness of last night.

This made her despise herself, feeling that she had been disloyal to Li Tianyi.

Rong Rong fell into deep self-loathing...

"Beep! System restart countdown."

"ten."

"Nine."

"eight."

......

"three."

"two."

"one."

"My dear host! I've finally seen you again!"

After the cheerful electronic music, a glutinous rice ball suddenly appeared in Rong Rong's mind, pulling her back to reality from the darkness.

666 quickly scanned Rong Rong's body data and was shocked. "My God! Host! How did you become like this?"

"What is that?" Rong Rong asked in surprise.

With great difficulty, 666 managed to squeeze out a tiny bit of energy to help Rong Rong recover her memories, and a torrent of information instantly flooded Rong Rong's mind.

Who could have imagined? When Rong Rong jumped off the cliff, 666 was just feeling sorry for its host and didn't want Rong Rong to suffer physical pain, so it activated the pain-blocking function for Rong Rong.

As a result, it ran out of energy, forcing 666 to shut down and go into hibernation. When it finally absorbed enough energy to turn on again, it saw its host being deceived into this pitiful state by a group of scoundrels.

"Waaaaah, host, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault for not controlling the energy properly!" 666 burst into tears.

Rong Rong, busy receiving memories, didn't have time to pay attention to 666 until half an incense stick later, when that soft and gentle voice finally rang out.

"Don't cry, we're both newbies. I know 666 is just trying to help me." Rong Rong sighed softly.

Goodness, Rong Rong knew that the life of a quick transmigration mission taker must be colorful, but she did not expect that her first world would be so 'exciting'.

Rong Rong didn't complain or blame others; she quickly accepted reality. After all, when she was bound to 666, she understood what she would face.

Besides, she knew she was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person with some beauty.

Rong Rong quickly skipped over the useless self-pity and began to seriously analyze the current progress of the task.

"Was that person impersonating Li Tianyi just now Prince Yu?" Although it was a question, Rong Rong was almost certain in her heart that it was him.

Even though his face and figure have changed, his overall demeanor is still different. Moreover, in the end, Prince Yu hardly makes any attempt to conceal his identity, so Rong Rong can easily recognize him.

"So I'm on my way back to Da Gan now?" Rong Rong's eyes brightened, and 666 was no longer annoyed, following Rong Rong's train of thought.

“Yes! The host guessed right!” 666 nodded its round head frantically. It was called a head, but it was actually a ball of fluff without a neck. It just swayed its whole body up and down.

"Then I'll continue to feign amnesia, follow Prince Yu back to Zhucheng, and then find a way to reunite with the male lead who's returned home! And continue with the next mission?"

Rong Rong's points were clear and logical, and 666 immediately garnered praise.

"The host is right!"

The little dumpling was shaking wildly.

Although she had gone astray, it didn't affect the mission. After figuring out the next steps, Rong Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he remembered his own strangeness.

"666, why do I inexplicably fall deeply in love with Li Tianyi?" Rong Rong frowned slightly. "And... I think I also love Prince Yu?"

This was very strange, especially since she was in love with two people at the same time. Rong Rong was worried and afraid that something had happened to her.

If Rong Rong were to meet Yang Yan and discover that she also loves him, she would probably be quite shocked.

Having already scanned Rong Rong's body, 666's face fell, and he said with difficulty, "The host has been poisoned by a love curse."

"Love Gu?" Rong Rong was shocked. Having read the novel, Rong Rong knew what Love Gu was, but this was the first time she had ever seen a Love Gu that could make her fall in love with two people at the same time.

Sure enough, reality is even more outrageous than fiction.

"Can you help me get rid of it?" Rong Rong hesitated, then shook her head apologetically.

"We need to use the antidote pills from the store."

There was no need to go into too much detail; Rong Rong understood that they had nothing.

"Alright." Rong Rong sighed helplessly, her desire to gain more points was extremely strong at this moment. "Anyway, it doesn't affect the mission, so I won't bother solving it."

Although she loved Prince Yu, it didn't stop her from approaching the male lead and asking to return to the Du family, only to eventually receive a letter of divorce from him.

Rong Rong quickly composed herself, and for the rest of the journey, she was alone in the carriage.

Only occasionally would a maid come in to serve her meals, pour her tea and water, and serve her snacks and fruits.

It wasn't until evening that 'Li Tianyi' stepped into the carriage again. This time, he made no attempt to disguise himself, his handsome, chiseled face exposed in the dim candlelight.

His jet-black hair stood up high, and he wore a dragon-shaped jade crown on his head. The jade was warm and lustrous, and the carving was exquisite.

Beneath her sword-like brows were gleaming black eyes, deep and dark as night, seemingly radiating a cold light.

Even the warmest candlelight couldn't dispel the chill emanating from him; his sharply defined features and thin, slightly pursed lips revealed his strength and indifference.

Who else could this man be but Zhu Chunji, the Prince of Daqianyu? He was so imposing, majestic, and tall.
