Chapter 233 Good Life
"What are you going to do?" Lan Ximeng couldn't believe what she heard. She widened her eyes, and with a hint of trembling and fear in her voice, she loudly questioned the little person in her arms.
Her mind was in a mess, as if all this was just a nightmare. As long as she shouted out loud, she could get rid of it all and she would still be sleeping peacefully in the dormitory.
"It's very simple." Bai Yiting showed her little face from the princess's arms, shook her head, showed an innocent smile, and said with a hint of playfulness in her voice: "Go home~"
There was an irresistible innocence in her eyes, as if she was just talking about something very ordinary.
"It's impossible. We have traveled across tens of thousands of years. How can we go back?" Lan Ximeng kept shaking her head, with a hint of despair and helplessness in her voice.
She couldn't accept it all, it was all too absurd, too unbelievable.
She tried to convince herself, tried to convince Bai Yiting, but her voice seemed so weak in the air.
"Yes, you are here." Bai Yiting raised her head and glanced at Lan Ximeng with a sly smile in her eyes: "You are the one who brought us here. Now I will use you to open the door of time and space and take us home!"
There was an unquestionable firmness in her voice, as if all this was taken for granted.
"Mom." Bai Yiting nestled in the princess's arms, gently tugged at her clothes, and said in a coquettish tone, "Let's go home now."
"Okay." The princess pinched Bai Yiting's little nose lovingly, her eyes full of tenderness.
However, when she turned around and looked at Lan Ximeng, her eyes became cold and sharp: "Take him away!"
There was an unmistakable authority in her voice.
"Yes!" The palace servant took the order and quickly walked to Lan Ximeng, took her arm and walked towards the basement.
Lan Ximeng was being pulled, her body was stiff and her eyes were empty, like a doll that had lost its soul, allowing people to pull her. Her mind was in a mess, her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but she didn't even have the strength to resist.
"Haha!" Bai Yiting's laughter echoed in the air. The sound was crisp and cheerful, but it was as chilling as the music before the coming of death.
Lan Ximeng was dragged to the basement by palace servants, her heart filled with fear and despair.
The air in the basement was filled with a suffocating smell of blood, and the ground was covered with blood-red lines. These lines formed a complex formation, like an evil spell.
In the middle of the formation is a human-shaped altar with a strange shape, as if it was specially tailor-made for Lan Ximeng and fits her body perfectly.
Lan Ximeng wanted to struggle, but her body seemed to be bound by an invisible force and she couldn't exert any strength at all.
She could only allow the palace servants to press her wrists and ankles on the altar. The cold dagger scratched her skin and blood gushed out instantly.
Gulping blood flowed down the lines of the altar, as if attracted by some mysterious force and gradually merged into the formation.
Lan Ximeng's life was fading away bit by bit, and her consciousness was becoming more and more blurred.
In the last moment of her life, she seemed to see her parents and brother smiling and waving at her not far away. Their smiles were so warm and familiar, as if welcoming her back to them.
A sense of calm welled up in her heart. Perhaps this was fate.
She thought: Well, it would be nice to see my family before I die.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly, revealing a relieved smile, and then she slowly closed her eyes.
The moment Lan Ximeng closed her eyes, the entire formation suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the light tightly enveloped Bai Yiting and the princess like a tide.
As the light grew brighter, their bodies were lifted into the air by an invisible force, as if they were being taken to another world.
At this moment, the king of the empire, dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, suddenly appeared.
His eyes were filled with fear and despair. Seeing the princess and Bai Yiting enveloped in light, he immediately rushed over with his arms outstretched, trying to pull back his flying lover.
"No! Bai! You can't leave!" he shouted hysterically, with a heart-wrenching pain in his voice.
He wanted his lover back, back in his arms, just like before.
His eyes were filled with reluctance and despair, as if his world would collapse if he lost her.
"Hehe, my mother is with you just to live." Bai Yiting raised her head and looked at the princess with a hint of expectation in her eyes, hoping to hear the words she wanted from her mouth.
The king of the empire also looked at the princess, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, hoping to hear her reluctance from her mouth and see love in her eyes.
He stretched out his hand, as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope.
However, the princess just looked at him calmly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.
Her voice was calm and cold, but it was like a sharp blade that cut his heart into pieces: "Do you think I will not bear to leave you? Do you think I will love you? From the beginning, I approached you only to protect my daughter and for our survival."
Every word was like thunder exploding in the air, causing the body of the emperor to tremble violently. There was a flash of pain and disbelief in his eyes, as if he had been hit on the head, and all his fantasies and expectations were shattered at this moment.
"You're just my pawn, nothing more." There was a hint of sarcasm in the princess' voice, as if she was looking at a ridiculous opponent.
She turned her gaze to Bai Yiting, her eyes full of love: "My dear daughter, we can finally go home."
Bai Yiting smiled slightly, with a hint of joy and relief in her eyes. She hugged the princess tightly, as if this was the warmest harbor in the world.
The light grew brighter and brighter, gradually engulfing their figures, as if taking them to a whole new world.
The King of the Empire stood there, his eyes filled with despair and pain, his body trembling slightly.
He stretched out his hand as if trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope, but in the end he could only watch them disappear in the light. His voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of reluctance and despair: "Don't... don't go..."
After they left, the Imperial Palace suddenly burst into a dazzling light, followed by a deafening roar.
The entire planet was torn in half by this powerful force.
Before the orcs on the planet could even utter a cry, they were instantly exposed to the vacuum, and their bodies were quickly frozen into ice sculptures, forever frozen at that moment.
Blue Planet, 2024 AD.
The early morning sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains and onto Bai Yiting's small bed. She frowned slightly and woke up from the warm bed. Dad's voice was gentle and familiar: "Yiting, get up, it's time to have breakfast."
The sun rises and sets, and the years pass quietly in such a daily routine.
Bai Yiting started her life journey.
She went to elementary school, junior high school, high school, and was admitted to a famous university.
There, she met the love of her life.
After graduation, she and her lover got married and gave birth to a lovely daughter.
She accompanied her daughter as she grew up, and she accompanied her parents as they grew older.
Finally, she sent her parents away.
She watched her daughter get married and have children, continuing to pass on the warmth and love of the family. Time has left traces on her face, but her heart is always full of satisfaction and happiness.
Under the reluctant gaze of her family, Bai Yiting closed her eyes with a faint smile on her face. Her life was ordinary yet beautiful, full of love and warmth.
Everything was as she wished.
