The news came so suddenly that it took Wen Mengxia and Moody a while to react.
The two women looked at Ye Ling with worry; they hadn't expected this life-or-death ordeal to come so soon.
They were not afraid of death, nor did they want to be absent when Ye Ling needed them.
They wanted to stay by Ye Ling's side; they really wanted to.
But Ye Ling didn't include the two of them when she was choosing people, which meant that she didn't want to drag them down. She hoped that the two of them would stay in Shendu and wait for her to come back.
Wen Mengxia said to Ye Ling, "Lingling, let's go back to the space. We need to talk to our parents."
Ye Ling agreed, and except for Wei Chi, Chu Moqing, and You Ziming who stayed outside, everyone else was sent into the space.
You Ziming exchanged glances with Chu Moqing and Wei Chi, and they both gestured for him to talk to Ye Ling.
She sat there alone, her eyes vacant, radiating an aura of grief. The two grown men felt sorry for her.
However, the two of them found it difficult to speak up, so the most suitable person among the three to offer guidance was You Ziming. Letting him talk to her was the best option.
You Ziming nodded slightly to them and sat down next to Ye Ling.
Even if the two of them didn't say it, he also had something he wanted to say to Ye Ling.
He sat next to her for a while, but seeing that she didn't react, he couldn't help but ask, "Lingling, was this life-or-death tribulation calculated by the Taoist priest?"
"Um."
Seeing that Ye Ling responded, he continued, "Did they say what the specific time was or what the trigger was?"
"No."
You Ziming frowned slightly. He hadn't provided any information, only saying that a life-or-death ordeal was approaching. Who could remain calm in that situation?
He braced himself on his knees, leaned forward, and tilted his head to look at her: "Are the first two accurate?"
Ye Ling turned to look at him and nodded slightly: "Pretty accurate."
When You Ziming saw that she was finally looking at him, he propped himself up with one hand and looked at her: "Now that the Five Elements Hearts are all gathered, will your spatial world be completely perfected?"
The hibiscus tree inside and the beam of light above it will also be strengthened by the Five Elements Heart. At that time, when you face a life-or-death tribulation, won't you have a much greater chance of victory?
Wei Chi couldn't help but ask, "What is the Heart of the Five Elements? Are there any clues? Should we report to our superiors and use national resources to help find it?"
Ye Ling glanced at Wei Chi and chuckled, saying, "I need to find this myself; it's really hard for others to do it."
Then he looked at You Ziming and said, "You're right. My little world is not perfect yet, and I need to improve it as soon as possible."
However, even after gathering the five elements' hearts, it's not absolutely perfect; a few more things are still needed. But if I can gather all five elements' hearts, I am certainly confident I can survive this life-or-death ordeal.
Chu Moqing asked, "Do you know exactly where these things you need are located?"
Ye Ling nodded slightly.
She knows the general direction now, and once she gets closer, she'll be able to pinpoint the exact location.
There's no need to tell him that.
Chu Moqing looked at her: "If Xiaxia wants to go with you, I hope you can agree. She doesn't have many friends, and you and Modi are considered her closer friends."
She's a kind-hearted girl, and knowing you're facing a life-or-death situation, she must be heartbroken. She doesn't want to be absent when you need them; she'd feel guilty for the rest of her life.
Since you know the general location, with your abilities, you shouldn't be back too long, barring any unforeseen circumstances. And I feel at ease having her with you.”
After listening to Chu Moqing's words, Ye Ling pondered for a moment and said, "You really love Sister Wen. If she is willing to come with me, I will agree."
But Captain Chu, what if I face a life-or-death crisis during this time, what if they are harmed because of me...?
I don't blame you.
Before Ye Ling could finish speaking, Chu Moqing interrupted her.
He said, "Xiaxia told me that she has been very happy since she got together with you. In the apocalypse, her family can live a carefree, idyllic life in a small, paradise-like world, which is a gift from you."
"The fact that we could reunite in this apocalypse, clear up our misunderstandings, and fall in love again is all thanks to you." She said that every extra day lived in this world is a bonus, and if anything unexpected were to happen, she would accept it calmly.
Ye Ling was indeed moved by these words. She said, "Captain Chu, I will bring your Xiaxia back safe and sound."
Wei Chi spoke up from the side: "Ye Ling, to be honest, I like Moody, I really like him. If you bring your sister-in-law along, I hope you bring Moody along too. She'll only be happy when she's with you guys."
"We're a bunch of grown men enough to keep the gods in check. If they stay here, they'll just attract the attention of many random men, and I don't trust them to stay."
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, not expecting Wei Chi to be so open about his feelings for Moody.
She asked, "Does she know that you like her? Haven't you ever considered that while I was taking her away, other men might appear, and the two of you might fall in love?"
Wei Chi chuckled: "It's alright. It's my business that I like her. I didn't force her to like me back. If she meets her true love, I will bless her and won't bother her."
Ye Ling nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."
In the apocalypse, everything is uncertain, and no one knows how long they will live.
Most people will indulge their desires so that they don't leave any regrets.
In the apocalypse, few powerful men would give up the woman they love to someone else unless that person is stronger than them. Otherwise, they would never do such a thing as giving their woman away.
Not to mention men, even strong women can't do it.
For example, ever since she established a relationship with Ye Jingyan and the others, she has never thought of giving them up. No one can touch them, and she will not allow them to fall in love with other women.
Having possessiveness means you care about them. If you don't even have possessiveness, then it's not love at all, and it won't last.
She discreetly observed Wei Chi. In fact, Wei Chi was a very outstanding man. Ye Boxuan had told her that he was a major and an only child, with excellent character and appearance.
The key is that he doesn't have those bad habits. He won't go around picking fights outside like other people to vent his frustrations, nor will he cause trouble within the team.
Perhaps influenced by Ye Boxuan, she has always maintained a clean and virtuous lifestyle.
