"What are you thinking about?" You looked down at me, her deep eyes seeming to see right through me.
After hesitating for a moment, I decided to speak my mind: "I'm wondering, are you still you?"
Youwei paused, then turned to look straight ahead. "Why worry about these things? As long as we're happy now and in the future, that's enough."
After thinking for a moment, I realized, am I not myself? The original Nv Xin has long been replaced by an ordinary girl from another world.
I possess Nu Xin's memories, her magic, and her body, while the person I was before seems to be getting further and further away from me. Sometimes I feel like it's all just a dream.
"Xin'er, we've arrived."
I was lost in my thoughts the whole way and didn't pay attention to the scenery. It was only when Yu reminded me that I noticed everything in front of me.
The abyss is resource-scarce and has a harsh environment; this scene before my eyes was completely unexpected.
Ahead was a large body of water, planted with rings of unidentified flowers. At first I thought they were lotus flowers, but although they were somewhat similar to the lotus flowers in front of me, they were different. They were probably mutated lotus flowers.
The abyss is always shrouded in twilight, never seeing the sun, yet here I am, feeling as if I've entered a world on earth. Flowers bloom in the water, a path paved with smooth pebbles leads to a series of white jade bricks that seem to float in the air, stretching towards the main house in the center of the water. Each element radiates a different light. The flowers are pale pink, the pebbles are multicolored, and the white jade bricks, floating on the water, emit a soft, white glow. These glowing white jade bricks form a line, making the main house in the water even more dazzling.
Looking at the main house not far away, I thought to myself, "It's so bright, it must be hard to sleep."
"Xin'er, are you worried about not being able to sleep?" You took my hand and helped me walk step by step up the white jade bricks toward the main house.
"It's a bit too bright."
He smiled mysteriously, "Come with me."
I followed You beside me, with Feng Su behind me. Soon we entered the main house, which was as dark as the rest of the abyss, unlike the bright light outside.
I glanced out the window again; it was bright outside, as if the light was being blocked by something.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of a button being pressed, and then the room instantly brightened up.
I looked up in surprise, following the light, and saw a bright pearl hanging overhead. "What is this?"
You smiled smugly, "This is a lamp I designed specifically for you."
"Do they have electric lights in the abyss?" Before I could ask, You looked up and pointed to the bright pearl above her head, excitedly explaining, "These were all made by hand."
"Did you make these yourself?" The various pearls on the ceiling were arranged in a pleasingly sparse manner. However, this palace was truly vast. If you wanted to illuminate such a large area, how could you not have a lot of pearls overhead?
I turned my head to look at You. You was looking up, and the brilliance of the pearl shone on her face, making her skin look even whiter. Her alluring eyes were different from usual, and her crystal black pupils radiated a pure and joyful light.
A sudden, indescribable irritation rose within me, and none of it was for my sake.
"Xin'er, what's wrong?"
It's as if You has radar installed on me; he can immediately sense when I'm unhappy.
"So beautiful." Feng Su's exclamation rang out at just the right moment. You Du and I turned our heads to look at Feng Su, who was walking ahead of us and looking around.
"This is your palace. There are other rooms outside. Oh, and there's one that's perfect for Feng Su."
When I first came in, I saw that there was more than just this palace on the water; there were several other houses in a similar style, though none of them were as luxurious as this one.
"It's a pity I didn't know you'd have a fondness for food, so I didn't prepare a kitchen," You muttered to herself with some disappointment.
"This is already very good," I said softly, comforting her. Feng Su, unable to hide her excitement, asked, "Where is my room? Is it far from the master?"
"It's not far, it's nearby."
You led me and Feng Su around the area to familiarize ourselves with the surroundings.
"Xin'er." You led me to see the houses near the main house and then returned to my room. She pulled me to sit down. "Xin'er, I'll have them add a kitchen right away. You wait here for me."
"Where are you going?" I noticed that You was about to leave, so I quickly grabbed You's hand and stood up nervously to ask.
You patted my shoulder, her eyes crinkling with a comforting smile, and said, "I am now the Lord of the Abyss too. I've been gone for so many days, and there are still some things in the Abyss that I need to take care of. I'll come find you as soon as I'm done."
I held onto You's hand tightly, a strange panic gripping my heart. I didn't want You to leave. "I want to go with you."
"Okay." You lowered her head and smiled slightly, her gaze falling on my hand that was holding his, and the corners of her mouth curved into an even wider smile.
"I want to go too." Since I was going, Feng Su naturally didn't want to be left alone here.
You pulled at the corner of my mouth and the smile faded, then she gently placed a kiss on my lips, saying, "Okay."
"Won't they recognize you like this?" As I followed You along, some strange questions popped up again.
After all, the difference between the current You and the person who previously claimed to be the Sun and Moon Lord is simply too great.
The warmth from You's hand came through our clasped fingers. I tightened my grip. This warmth was completely different from the coldness of Sun and Moon Lord before. Even I, who witnessed it with my own eyes, could not believe it. Would You Shenyuan's subordinates believe it?
"What are you thinking about again? How could you not recognize me?" A cheerful and doting voice came from behind.
"But the difference between you now and you before is just too great."
You was taken aback, then a smile appeared on her face as she said in a slightly mysterious tone, "You'll find out soon enough."
I was a little confused because I didn't encounter a single person on the path that You led me down.
We followed a small path into a grand hall. A familiar chill emanated from the hall, and I shivered. This chilling aura was none other than that of the Sun and Moon Lord.
With a mere wave of her hand, You dispelled the chilling atmosphere in the hall, replacing it with a warm and gentle breeze, as if one had instantly transitioned from the dead of winter to winter.
I followed You across the stage, and suddenly the space opened up before me. In the spacious hall, there was a somewhat aloof chair and a brazier of unknown purpose. The brazier was made of black crystal, and a black cylindrical pillar firmly supported it.
There were only these two items in the hall. The chair was nothing special, but this brazier... I couldn't help but take a second look. Could it be that You was too cold and used it to warm herself? I looked at the brazier, then at You, and immediately nipped the thought in the bud. Impossible, You didn't look like the type to use a brazier at all.
