Li Ruo nodded, "I'm not quite sure why either. After I turned thirteen, another soul lived in my body, not me. It wasn't me who liked Song Zhijing, it was her. The real me went to another world and lived there for many years, but now I've come back."
As for the time difference between the two worlds, it's simply because they are in different dimensions, so there's nothing strange about it.
Xie Xiao found it unbelievable and stared intently at her, "Is this the world you were talking about before?"
"Isn't it bizarre?" Li Ru snorted. "I'll take you somewhere, and you'll find that nothing is impossible."
She was indeed Li Ruo, so this time she was full of confidence and directly pulled him into the space.
When Xie Xiao saw the mountain of grain piled up inside and the house filled with flowers, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"This is the 'Sumeru Mustard Seed' that your father gave you." In an instant, he understood. "You've been hiding here!"
Li Ruo said, "People couldn't get in before because they didn't have enough items to exchange. Later, I collected a lot of treasures at Yutai Temple, and I only managed to open this place after accumulating enough points. I came in while I was fighting a life-or-death battle with Chu Yunji."
Xie Xiao was shocked again. The scene was still vivid in his mind, and he often dreamed about it at night, which would make him break out in a cold sweat.
I can't imagine what she would be like without this strange place.
But then he got angry, "Since you can come and go as you please, why don't you come looking for us?"
"That's because I couldn't get out at the time." Li Ruo told him about how she was injured and fell into a coma, and then the space opened up the Guixu, and the flood was drawn into the Guixu and couldn't be stopped.
Xie Xiao felt like the top of his head was being burned. "You mean, this space absorbed all that water?"
No wonder the floodwaters receded ahead of schedule.
Li Ruo raised an eyebrow at him, "Now you know that I'm not much better off than you, right? I was so bored being all alone here, so I built this house and this little courtyard. Isn't it unique and cute?"
Xie Xiao's throat tightened, and he was unable to speak for a long time.
He thought he was the one suffering, but wasn't she suffering the same way? Even more so. At least he had his brothers, like Sun Ergou, by his side, while she endured the pain alone, spending over 360 days and nights by herself.
He pulled her into his arms again, his voice choked with emotion, "I came too late." On the way from Qinzhou to the capital, he wished the ship could go faster, much faster.
“You don’t know why I took it upon myself to go to Yutai Temple. How can I blame you?” Li Ruo hugged him back. “But I don’t regret it.”
There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you want something, you have to give something in return.
"I'll never let him out of my sight again, even if you kill me." Xie Xiao said through gritted teeth.
Li Ruo laughed, "Are you going to put me in your pocket?"
"You think I wouldn't dare?" Xie Xiao pinched her waist, then kissed her again, gently pecking at her, again and again.
Li Ruo ripped off his uncomfortable armor, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded to him passionately.
Xie Xiao's eyes darkened, and a familiar roguish smile appeared on his lips. "This time, even if you call me, I won't stop."
A day apart feels like three autumns. How many autumns have they been separated? Nothing brings more comfort than being close to each other.
Outside the camp.
Sun Ergou sighed deeply. Why hadn't the couple come out yet? So many hours had passed.
Can you please consider how your brothers feel?
After thinking for a while, Sun Ergou decided to write a letter and have it sent back to the capital by express courier, so that others would know that his sister had returned alive and would be even more anxious than he was.
He'll be able to talk to his sister in a few more hours, but they'll have to wait a month. Haha, they're in a worse situation than him.
Sun Ergou felt better.
The following afternoon, after waiting all day, the people inside the tents finally came out.
The man was completely transformed, looking like a fairy who had absorbed all the yang energy, while the woman was as beautiful as a peach blossom, like a cluster of crabapple blossoms stretching out on a branch in early spring.
Upon hearing Er Gou say that he would send the message back to the capital, Li Ruo hurriedly said, "Then let's set off quickly, or they'll be worried to death."
Xie Xiao wasn't in a hurry at all. He just glared at Sun Ergou in a mock manner and said, "Hurry up and prepare the boat."
He blinked hard at Er Gou, out of Li Ruo's sight.
This trip back took two months.
Either the boat broke down, the carriage broke down, or there were bandits ahead. We had to wait for the army to deal with them before we could proceed.
During this time, the "Great General Who Protects the Nation" naturally did not need to take action, so he took the opportunity to go sightseeing with his wife.
Ride horses, take boat rides, walk, lie down in a horse-drawn carriage, or even ride a watercraft if necessary. There are always different activities every day, and you can hardly repeat the same activity twice.
Li Ruo enjoyed these carefree days, but she was also conflicted. After some sweet whispers and cuddling, Li Ruo nudged the person who was so engrossed in his pleasure that he said, "Don't you have any sense of responsibility? Let's go back quickly."
"The carriage has fallen apart again and is being repaired." In a tent on a mountaintop, Xie Xiao pulled her into his arms. "No rush. They all know you're alright, so they're relieved."
Li Ruo hit him, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"Let them wait, it's not like we can't afford to wait." Xie Xiao looked at her quietly, "We might not have this opportunity again in the future."
Li Ru blinked. "That makes sense. How about we go to Ziyang Peak to watch the sunrise next?"
"We're of one mind." The tyrannical emperor flipped her over and pinned her down again, followed by the woman's soft moans of coy resistance.
Ten days later, in the capital.
A rider charged into the street, shouting, "This, this, and this is all muddy!"
Actually, the streets have already been cleaned up very well.
