After traveling through time, she just wanted to eat, drink and have fun

Prince Jing nodded, hiding his deep helplessness and entanglement. He knew that there might be dangers ahead, but he couldn't accompany her personally. This contradictory mood was like being pulled by two powerful forces, making him feel guilty.

On the one hand, as a responsible person, Prince Jing knows that protecting the weak and saving those women is his unshirkable duty; on the other hand, he feels guilty towards this kind and brave woman. Knowing that he might encounter an accident or even lose his life, he still wants to cooperate with her and let her walk into the unknown abyss. This is undoubtedly a cruel choice.

However, reality is always so cruel and ruthless. When facing the safety of more people, personal emotions often seem insignificant. Prince Jing sighed secretly. At this moment, he could only pray silently that Ai Yun was safe and returned with good news.

Ai Yun was full of doubts and uneasiness, but an inexplicable intuition made her firmly believe that Mr. Xiaoyao would not harm her. She took a deep breath, waved to the two people without hesitation, and then walked towards Mr. Xiaoyao who was still sitting there leisurely sipping tea.

Each step was firm and resolute, as if crossing an invisible chasm. Ai Yun's eyes were focused and persistent, as if she wanted to see Mr. Xiaoyao's true thoughts through his calm appearance.

As the distance gradually shortened, the fragrance of tea rising from the cup in Mr. Xiaoyao's hand became stronger and stronger. This fragrance was like a mysterious force, attracting Ai Yun to move forward. Although she was nervous, she still gritted her teeth and walked towards the unknown answer step by step.

As Ai Yun approached, Mr. Xiaoyao slowly raised his eyes, looking at the carriage not far ahead and the crowd around him that had obviously decreased in number. Then he slowly placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said in a calm tone, "Okay, we can set off now." His voice was neither high nor low, but it contained an irresistible power. Ai Yun nodded to indicate that she understood, and then quietly followed Mr. Xiaoyao.

The two walked along the winding path and finally came to a dense forest. The lush branches and leaves here blocked out the sun, as if they were in a world isolated from the outside world.

At this moment, Mr. Xiaoyao suddenly had a black cloth in his hand. He turned around and looked at Ai Yun behind him, and handed the cloth to her. Ai Yun paused for a moment, but soon understood what was going on. She walked forward without hesitation, took the cloth, and then covered her eyes skillfully.

When her vision was obscured by darkness, Ai Yun did not feel panic at all. On the contrary, she felt a surge of trust and expectation in her heart. Then, she felt a warm and soft hand gently holding her hand. That hand conveyed an inexplicable sense of security and reliance, which gradually calmed Ai Yun's originally nervous mood.

In this way, they continued to move forward in silence. Ai Yun concentrated on feeling the changes in the surrounding environment and the ups and downs of the road under her feet. Although she could not see the scene ahead, she firmly believed that she could reach her destination safely through the strength and guidance from the hand holding her tightly.

Time passed by bit by bit, and suddenly Ai Yun keenly noticed that the atmosphere around her had changed subtly. The originally faint smell of soil became stronger at this moment, as if the whole space was shrouded by this breath.

As time went by, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and Ai Yun couldn't help but feel puzzled. Gradually, she found that the air around her seemed to be colder than before, with a slight chill that made her shiver. The touch under her feet was completely different. Before, when she stepped on dead branches and leaves, she would feel a slight tingling sensation, but now it became a hard and solid feeling like stepping on the mud.

Ai Yun's mind was moved: Could it be that she had walked into a cave? She couldn't look around to find some clues to confirm her guess.

Facing this mysterious and unfamiliar environment, Ai Yun was both excited and nervous. She took a deep breath and carefully walked in the direction Xiaoyao had led...

About half a quarter of an hour later, just when Ai Yun thought that the place Mr. Xiaoyao was going to take her to might be deep in the cave, she suddenly felt a scorching sun shining on her body, causing her blindfolded eyes to unconsciously squint, and the remaining coolness on her skin quickly dissipated and was replaced by warmth. A breeze brushed across her cheek, bringing a mixed smell of grass and soil, which should be out of the cave and back to the mountains.

The air in the mountains is exceptionally fresh. Take a deep breath, and the cool air will flow into your body through your nose, making you feel comfortable from the inside out. Your lungs are filled with fresh air, as if all the cells in your body are awakened at this moment. Your body gradually adapts to the outside temperature, and you begin to feel the warmth of the sun, as well as the coolness of the breeze. This alternating feeling of cold and warm makes you feel as if you are one with nature.

Mr. Xiaoyao's relaxed voice rang in Aiyun's ears: "You can take off the cloth on your eyes now."

After hearing this, Ai Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation and nervousness in her heart. She gently stretched out her hand, carefully felt the edge of the cloth strip, and then slowly untied it from her eyes.

When the cloth left her eyes, strong light flooded into her eyes like a tide, causing Ai Yun to feel a stinging pain. She subconsciously stretched out her other hand to try to block the dazzling light. After a while, her eyes gradually adapted to the surrounding environment, and she slowly lowered her arm and began to carefully observe her surroundings.

After her vision gradually became clear, she instinctively looked around, and from afar, she saw several women in simple clothes. Some were walking lightly among the flowers and plants, some were reaching out to touch the strings of a musical instrument, playing graceful and melodious music from nature; some were sitting in front of the embroidery frame, sewing with flying needles, and carefully depicting beautiful and magnificent paintings.

Looking further away, a clear stream flows slowly along the mountain, with gurgling water and rippling waves. Beside the stream is a lush and vibrant garden, where various crops thrive and are full of greenery. Several strong women are working hard in the garden, sowing, weeding, fertilizing... With relaxed smiles on their faces, they sweat to their heart's content, feel the breath of the earth, and enjoy the happiness brought by labor.

This place is quiet and peaceful, like a piece of pure land isolated from the world, without the hustle and bustle of the world, only the enchanting tranquility and harmony. Being here, it seems that all troubles are thrown behind, and the state of mind becomes clear and ethereal. Even the originally restless heart seems to have found a place to rest in this peaceful atmosphere, and has been endlessly comforted and nourished.

Mr. Xiaoyao's calm voice sounded in Aiyun's ears again: "What do you think of this place?"

Ai Yun raised her head slightly and looked at the woman closest to her. The woman had a different demeanor from the women she saw here. She was more relaxed, the kind of relaxed without any restraint. Here, she was no one's child, nor was she anyone's mother or wife. No one asked her to be dignified, nor did they ask her to be strong as a mother, and no one asked her to be humble.

Her face showed undisguised admiration, and she responded softly: "This place is relaxing, like a paradise on earth."

After hearing these words, Mr. Xiaoyao sighed softly, and his voice seemed to contain countless sadness and helplessness: "I have experienced countless hardships and difficulties, and finally found such a wonderful place, hoping to help them get rid of all the restrictions and ties in the world."

His eyes revealed deep helplessness, as if for these women, this place was both a good destination and not a perfect choice. Ai Yun looked at Mr. Xiaoyao quietly, and a feeling of admiration arose in her heart. She knew that for many women, this place was both an unattainable dream and a safe haven to escape from the suffering of reality.

Ai Yun frowned and thought about it secretly. Although she felt that something was wrong, the doubts in her heart were really hard to resolve. Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Why did you choose me?"
