Suddenly, a golden light appeared in the depths of the ancestral tomb.
The golden light is bright and dazzling.
But in just a few blinks of an eye, the entire sky was lit up, and the entire back mountain was shrouded in an extremely bright golden light.
But it was only for a moment.
The next moment, the golden light gathered, and a ball of golden light about the size of a baby's head slowly rose from the depths of the Zhong family's ancestral tomb.
“This…this…”
The Zhong family members who had also noticed the golden ball of light stared at it in shock, unable to utter a word.
Especially after feeling the sacred aura in the golden light, many people even felt their legs go weak and fell to their knees on the ground with a thud.
Xie Xihe stared at it in a daze.
A familiar feeling that seemed to come from the depths of her soul surged into her heart. As the golden light surged, she seemed to feel her heart contracting and relaxing.
She slowly raised her hand.
A human-like joy emanated from the golden ball of light. As Xie Xihe raised his hand, the golden ball of light leaped forward. In just a few blinks of an eye, it jumped into Xie Xihe's palm and gently jumped again.
Obvious intimacy.
A warm current passed through Xie Xihe's heart, making her eyes slightly hot.
The ball of golden light jumped again, rubbed her cheek gently, and then turned into a golden light and suddenly penetrated into Xie Xihe's body.
A warm and familiar breath flowed through her body, nourishing her meridians and warming her muscles and bones.
Her whole body was covered with a layer of golden light.
Xie Xihe just felt drowsy.
But the nagging uneasiness in her heart prevented her from falling asleep peacefully until a figure emerged.
It was a slender figure, wearing only a plain white inner garment.
It seemed as if he was covered by a layer of mist, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly. One could only vaguely see his overly bright golden eyes and the extremely eye-catching golden hexagram symbol in the center of his forehead.
"Emperor Xi."
She seemed to hear him calling her like that, and she sighed and felt relieved.
He stretched out his hand and brushed it across her eyes. In a plain voice, he said, "Go to sleep. I'm here."
The drowsiness in his mind became more obvious, and Xie Xihe finally fell into a deep sleep.
Without her noticing, everyone in the Zhong family and Zhu Ming had fallen into a deep sleep.
Only Zhong Yuxiu was left.
Zhong Yuxiu stared blankly at the man in front of her, her throat dry. It took her a long time to find her voice and said, "Is it you?"
"It's me." The other person answered in the same plain voice.
The man studied her face.
This was actually the first time he had seen Zhong Yuxiu in real life, but it did not affect his assessment of her physical condition: "She is in great shape."
Zhong Yuxiu stirred her hands unconsciously: "Hmm."
She glanced at Xie Xihe, who was held in the man's arms, and said, "You said that I can survive when she returns."
The man seemed to smile: "Yes, I said so."
The mist in front of him dissipated, revealing a face so beautiful that words could not describe it.
He looked at Zhong Yuxiu quietly and said, "So, now it's time to repay her. Are you willing?"
Zhong Yuxiu didn't answer immediately, but asked hesitantly, "Would it be convenient for me to ask about your relationship with her?"
Hypnos looked down at the girl in his arms. His eyes, which had been so indifferent that no emotion could be seen, finally showed a hint of different emotions. After a moment, he replied, "I am her brother."
Zhong Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I do."
Hypnos: "Are you willing to do this even if it means danger?"
Zhong Yuxiu: "What are the consequences if I don't want to?"
Hypnos: "She will die."
Although she is not truly dead, at least she in this life, or her past life, will completely disappear from this world.
To her, it was no different from death.
Zhong Yuxiu smiled and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
Hypnos looked at her steadily and finally smiled: "Thank you."
He waved his hand, and starlight fell from his fingertips, landing in front of Zhong Yuxiu, and she also fell into a deep sleep.
At the same time.
Somewhere at the end of the world.
In a huge palace, a man sat cross-legged on the bed.
Her face is as white as jade and her beauty is extraordinary.
Even with eyes closed, the heavy pressure from him could not be concealed.
——That is the imperial majesty that only those who have been in a high position for a long time can possess.
Suddenly, his body trembled and he opened his eyes abruptly, but his expression was a little dazed.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally came to his senses and slowly stood up from the couch.
With a flick of his wide sleeves, he appeared in another palace two palaces apart.
In the garden, a woman in plain clothes was watering plants with a pot.
Seeing him, the woman was surprised for a moment, then she put down the kettle in her hand and said with a chuckle, "Why are you here?"
The man got straight to the point: "She's back and has taken back the first energy."
The woman looked stunned: "This is it."
The man continued, "Xuanji, get ready and open the gate. I need to go out."
Xuanji frowned: "This is against the rules."
"Rules?" The man suddenly chuckled, his voice devoid of emotion. "What's the point of all those rules when even the people who made them are gone?"
"Besides," the man said, his gaze far away. Where no one could see, his fingertips, hidden in his wide sleeves, slowly tightened. "She has already abandoned the rules she set. Why should I still abide by them?"
Xuanji was speechless and finally said nothing more.
"I'll go get ready." She said silently and turned to leave.
The man looked quietly in the direction she left, and a scene of another person chuckling and calling him "Hao" seemed to appear in front of his eyes.
The sound of respectful and pious worship rang in my ears. They said, "Greetings to Emperor Hao."
Emperor Hao chuckled again.
I can’t remember how many years it has been since anyone called him “Hao”.
*
Xie Xihe had a very long dream.
The dream is full of complicated scenes.
There were many voices ringing in her ears, but she couldn't hear a word.
Until one moment, she suddenly opened her eyes and looked into the man's eyes that were staring at her without blinking.
"Qingqing." Sheng Shijing called out in a low voice and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Xie Xihe's mind was a little confused. He couldn't help but raise his hand to press his temple and asked him, "Have I slept for a long time?"
Sheng Shijing responded and said, "Not bad, half a day."
Xie Xihe glanced at the sky outside the window. It was pitch black, with only a few stars hanging high in the sky.
It was late at night.
Turning her gaze back to the man, she saw that he was still staring at her without blinking, and could not help but say helplessly: "I'm fine."
Sheng Shijing: "I know, Chi Xinglan said so."
Xie Xihe raised his eyebrows: "Then what are you looking at?"
Sheng Shijing: "Look at you."
