Chapter 12 "Going Home"
"Let's trace the source..."
"It will cost a lot of energy, but if this mystery is not solved, we can't carry out our activities with peace of mind."
Zhou Yin stared into Min Yun's eyes with a serious look.
Min Yun did not refute. She preferred things that were in her hands rather than the unknown.
So……
"Yelori magic, rise and fall, all depends on fate."
"O long river of fate, please trace it back to its source for me."
As Min Yun cast the spell, a small wave appeared in the long river of fate, flowing upstream.
The surging river water creates huge waves from time to time.
But the small waves did not retreat at all. They kept dodging the big waves with flexible movements and passed through the gap between two waves.
As the energy points descended like flowing water, the distance that the small waves went upstream became farther and farther.
Min Yun stared intently at the picture of fate that emerged as the waves moved forward.
Just when we were about to find the source of the blue energy, suddenly a strong light flashed.
This forced Zhou Yin and Min Yun to raise their hands to cover themselves.
By the time the two men lowered their arms, the waves had been submerged in the river.
As a result, all clues about the blue energy were completely lost, and there was no way to trace it back to its source.
Zhou Yin asked, "Did you see anything?"
Min Yun seemed to be hesitant to speak, stammering. She didn't know how to describe the scene.
But in the end she spoke: "Yes - the world..."
"World? Do you mean the Ye Luoli world?"
Min Yun shook his head, "It's the Earth."
Zhou Yin stood up from his chair in a flash.
"Is the Earth you're talking about the same Earth I'm thinking of?"
Min Yun, who always liked to smile and act crazy, now sat upright.
“It’s both.”
"The earth that just appeared in the picture contains two auras. One is the familiar aura of the Ye Luoli world. The other makes me feel that my body is instinctively calling him.
All I could think of was our original home.
And do you remember? We traveled to the Ye Luoli world because our necks suddenly broke on the high-speed train.
This way of dying is so absurd, I suspect it might be related to that power."
At first, Min Yun attributed this bizarre death to fate, thinking that the world of Ye Luoli was calling them.
But now, considering all the strange circumstances, things may not be that simple.
Zhou Yin sat back in his chair and continued tapping the table with his nails.
Da...da...da...
The tiny knocking sounds echoed in the empty hall, making people feel palpitations for no reason.
"You said before that the power has no malicious intent for now, right?"
"In that case, don't think too much and just act according to the plan."
Life is short, and every moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold.
As if he had figured something out, Zhou Yin returned to his previous lazy and casual attitude.
What's the point of worrying about this and that now?
With their current strength, they are simply unable to fight against that power.
Might as well go to the pier and get some fries.
After being enlightened by Zhou Yin, Min Yun also figured it out.
The worst outcome is just dying again. It’s not like I haven’t died before, so why make things difficult for myself?
So I stopped worrying about that power.
"Ayin, Ayin, where are you? Qing'er has seen you, stop hiding."
Ai Zhen's call rang in Zhou Yin's ears.
"I'm leaving now. Aizhen is about to find me."
“Have fun.”
Min Yun turned and looked at the river on the screen.
Although the River of Destiny has backfired at the moment, it can still hold on for a while thanks to the blue energy.
But it seems we still need to speed up.
Then he sighed, "I probably won't have any energy to give you during this period. You need to save energy for dual-line operations."
Min Yun explained their current situation to Zhou Yin, feeling a little guilty.
To her, Zhou Yin is both her alter ego and her friend.
As soon as he was born, he was thrown into wonderland and left to earn energy alone.
But as the original body, I can only be trapped in the void and can do nothing.
She already felt guilty for not being able to help Zhou Yin in any way, and now she couldn't even provide energy, which undoubtedly made her feel even more guilty.
Min Yun is cruel enough to her enemies, but she is extremely gentle to her own people.
Zhou Yin didn't care about these things. Helping Min Yun was also helping himself.
For him, the greatest happiness is to be able to sleep until he wakes up naturally, eat delicious food, and spend every day lazily.
Besides, the original purpose of his creation was to obtain energy, so this difficulty was actually nothing.
Ai Zhen's call was getting closer and closer in his ears, and Zhou Yin could no longer stay in the castle of thought.
He stood up gracefully, pushed his chair back into place and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he turned half way around and glanced at Min Yun, who was still sitting there feeling guilty.
"Don't worry, it will work."
…………
southern forest
Aizhen is already within reach.
Just when she was about to push aside the grass to find Zhou Yin, Zhou Yin opened his eyes in time.
“I found you!”
"Well, you found me."
Zhou Yin brushed off the fallen weeds and leaves on his body and looked up at the sky.
It was already dusk.
He stretched out his hand and smiled gently at Ai Zhen.
"It's getting dark, let's go home, the rabbit is still waiting for us."
"Okay, okay, Qing'er is tired from playing too."
Ai Zhen placed her hand on Zhou Yin's palm. It was just as she had imagined, warm and full of strength.
Walking in the forest under the setting sun, the afterglow shines on the two of them, casting two long and thin shadows that snuggle closely together, indistinguishable from each other.
Ai Zhen glanced at Zhou Yin beside her and felt the long-lost peace and happiness, which was indescribable but real.
Everyone thinks that Princess Love is happy every day.
But when did she start to become less happy than she appeared to be?
Is it the envious and awe-inspiring look of an ordinary fairy?
Is it that the fairy dotes on him on the surface, but says behind his back that he is unstable?
Or is it the growing complexity of human emotions?
Maybe both.
It was difficult for Aizhen to selfishly blame all the responsibility on humans, because she knew that she was not that happy long before she was affected by human emotions.
Maybe she was happy once, but that was too far away.
Ai Zhen suddenly tightened her grip on Zhou Yin’s hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, let's keep going."
Ai Zhen shook her head, feeling the real temperature in her hands. It was warm, a temperature that connected with her origin.
She seems to have found happiness again and should be as happy as before.
"Hey, Yin, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"Qing'er has a surprise for Yin."
"A surprise? I'm really looking forward to it."
"Then I must go to bed early today."
The backs of the two people were stretched longer and longer, as if they were walking on a road that would never end.
Perhaps their story will never end, just like this road.
