Dongfang Yerong fell into a dream.
In his dream, he saw Li Nannan regain her former vitality, jumping and skipping to his side, drinking fine wine and reciting poems with him as before.
Her smile was so beautiful and captivating, it was like a fairy descending to earth.
Dongfang Yerong thought to himself, if he could keep gazing at her like this, his life would be complete.
However, not long after, the beautiful woman in front of him suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yerong realized that she was in the water and was struggling helplessly to survive.
He was horrified to discover that a blurry figure in the distance was slowly sinking into the sea—it was Nan Nan!
Dongfang Yerong's heart tightened, and she hurriedly swam downwards with all her might, but no matter how hard she tried, she seemed unable to reach that distant and increasingly blurry figure.
"No!" he cried out in despair.
Just then, Dongfang Yerong suddenly woke up from her nightmare.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an elegant bamboo house, lying on a wooden bed.
What place is this?
Nan Nan?
Dongfang Yerong had no time to think about anything else; at this moment, he had only one thought in his mind—to find the beloved person in his arms.
He used all his strength to struggle to lift his body, which felt like it no longer belonged to him. His legs trembled, and he finally managed to stand up unsteadily from the bed.
However, just as he was trying to take a step forward, an overwhelming sense of exhaustion suddenly washed over him, causing him to lose all his strength and collapse to the ground.
Just then, a child carrying a bowl of medicine walked in from outside. He looked to be about eight or nine years old.
As soon as the little girl entered the house, she witnessed this shocking scene—the man, who was barely breathing, suddenly collapsed to the ground. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she even dropped the bowl of medicine in her hand, spilling the soup all over the floor.
The little girl was terrified and cried out, "How did you get up by yourself?"
Before he finished speaking, he hurriedly put down the bowl in his hand, stepped forward quickly, and carefully helped Dongfang Yerong up, letting her sit down by the bedside.
With a weak voice, Dongfang Yerong asked, "Where is Nannan?"
The little girl stared wide-eyed at the haggard-looking man on the bed, her heart filled with doubt.
Who exactly is Nan Nan? She rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized: she must be the beautiful woman who was traveling with this person!
Then, the little girl answered in a clear and tender voice: "The pretty sister has been taken to Lingshan Island by her master. Her master said that she seems to be seriously ill and must go to Lingshan Island to recuperate and receive treatment."
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Dongfang Yerong's previously dull eyes: Nannan was still alive!
"That's great...that's great..."
Dongfang Yerong muttered to himself in a low voice, so excited that he was somewhat incoherent.
A tear slid down his left eye without warning, silently rolling down his face, which was deathly pale from exhaustion.
After a long search and countless disappointments, Dongfang Yerong finally led Li Nannan to the legendary Penglai Island.
Perhaps a miracle that could save Nan Nan's life is hidden here! The thought filled him with an indescribable joy.
At that moment, he felt that his persistence this time was the most correct choice he had ever made in his life.
He really did it, and Nan Nan was finally saved.
At this moment, the little girl came over and carefully handed a bowl of steaming hot medicine to Dongfang Yerong, saying, "Big brother, this is medicine specially for you to replenish your strength. As long as you drink it, you will recover your strength quickly."
Dongfang Yerong nodded without hesitation, stretched out her hands, which were trembling slightly with nervousness, and steadily took the medicine bowl. Then she tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, as if the bitter medicine was the fountain of life.
At this moment, all he could think about was how to recover as quickly as possible so he could go see his beloved.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
