Sister, you traveled through time too?

If there is someone in the imperial city who can compete with the imperial power and the power of the prime minister, then to be honest, Xiaoyu really doesn't know who it would be.

But this mysterious and strange town, its controlled and enslaved residents, and its well-equipped ghost-faced men are far beyond the reach of an ordinary wealthy businessman.

traverser.

Xiaoyu had already confirmed the answer in her heart, she just looked at the lake with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, this is it."

The skinny girl walked in front, leading the way for Xiaoyu and the others.

She pointed to the huge, deep saltwater lake and spoke in a respectful tone.

The lake is endless and bottomless, as if it has no boundaries. The water level at the lakeside is very shallow, and it looks like only two or three meters.

But after these few steps in the shallow water, there is a cliff-like abyss. A person may just take two steps in the water and step on empty air and fall into the bottomless cliff in the next second.

The deep water area of ​​the entire lake was as black as night, in sharp contrast to the clear water in the shallow area. The little fish could not estimate how deep the lake was.

"Your Highness, this lake is very dangerous. Even someone who is a very good swimmer may not be able to survive after entering the lake."

Seeing this, Jiang Hao said to Xiaoyu with a look of slight fear.

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, the lake is very dangerous. It is very deep. Many workers died in the lake and never came back."

"At first, the mysterious man gathered all the residents together, sent someone to teach them diving skills, and then threw all the residents into the lake.

There were more than 200 residents, but only less than 30 survived. "

When the little girl said this, tears welled up in her eyes and her expression was compassionate and angry.

She calmed down and continued, "My brother is the best diver among the thirty people, so I was given the grace of not having to go into the water."

"In order to survive, my brother performed very well and became a small leader who managed the workers in about a year."

"But the bottom of the lake is dangerous. Even among these thirty people, only eight are still alive."

"The sharp decline in workers has forced us to plant the Ecstasy Plant to capture people passing through the town and turn them into workers."

"You are the only passers-by who have not been arrested in recent years."

After the little girl said this, she looked at the little fish hopefully, as if she was looking at a life-saving straw.

Xiaoyu raised his hand and touched the girl's head, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Your Highness, it's so dangerous here, should we still send people down?" Jiang Hao asked seriously after thinking for a while.

Chun Ke has already sent a message to Tang Zhao. I think the army will arrive here within two days.

Perhaps what Xiaoyu thought at the beginning was that he must find the pearl.

But now, in such a dangerous and unpredictable abyss, I don’t know how many lives will be lost in order to find the pearl.

Besides, the orb that can teleport is just a vague legend.

Is it really worth it to let so many people die in vain for a legend whose truth or falsity is unknown?

Xiaoyu felt in his heart that it was not worth it.

But this lake and this town must be under her control.

Perhaps the best strategy would be to send troops to garrison and prevent anyone from going into the water for exploration and mining.

That mysterious rich businessman might appear here again. If someone is guarding here, maybe we can catch him in the trap.

What makes Xiaoyu afraid may not be the precious pearl.

What she was really afraid of was the third-party force that appeared out of nowhere.

But as long as this person does not participate in party struggles and does not become an enemy of imperial power, Xiaoyu feels that it is not that scary.

Zuo is just a time traveler who wants to find the orb to return to the modern era and travel back and forth between the two worlds.

It seems that the orb has not been found yet. This mysterious wealthy businessman and time traveler will probably meet Xiaoyu one day.

"It is not worth it to waste countless lives for a legend whose truth or falsity is unknown."

"But we need to send troops to guard this place. We can't let people continue to explore."

"We will continue on our journey after the army arrives."

Xiaoyu was silent for a moment and then said firmly.

The little girl looked at the little fish, with hope growing stronger in her eyes.

"Your Highness, if there really is such a supreme treasure, wouldn't it be a pity if you couldn't get it?" Xiao Yun'er said softly.

She blinked her big, innocent eyes and asked.

Xiaoyu just looked at her and shook his head.

"Not worth it."

She just spoke softly.

Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Yuner, she understood the thought behind Xiao Yuner's question.

As a time traveler, it is normal for Xiao Yun'er to want to return to her original world.

Now that there is such a treasure that can allow people to return to their original world, everyone would be tempted, let alone Xiao Yun'er, a time traveler.

Xiao Yun'er may not know that this world is just a book.

If she knew, she would probably think it was no pity to let some paper people die.

But Xiaoyu really feels that these people in this world are so vivid, they all have homes, emotions and ties.

If someone really died at her hands, Xiaoyu would not be able to rest in peace even if she found the pearl and returned to the modern era.

Counting the time, it has been two years since Xiao Yun'er traveled through time. How does she feel about this world?

The little fish doesn't know.

For Xiao Yun'er, this place is a strange and cold world where she has no relatives.

It is hard to imagine that a little girl who is in her youth and is probably very much loved by her parents, travels alone to a world where people eat each other.

Xiao Yun'er was so cautious in her words and actions. As a simple little girl who was alone and helpless, she needed to be careful in her words and actions so as not to be discovered and to survive here.

Not to mention, there is also Hai Yi's control, fear and exploitation.

Xiaoyu has only Tang Zhao as a relative. She came here with her younger brother and was lucky enough to become the eldest princess. Her younger brother is the supreme emperor of the world.

But Xiao Yun'er is not as lucky as herself. She may have family, friends, lovers and relatives to worry about.

This place was strange and scary to Xiao Yun'er. It was cold, feudal and without warmth.

It is hard to imagine how careful one must be in words and actions to become a flawless Princess Anping and a real Xiao Yuner in two years.

Xiao Yun'er, is she really called Xiao Yun'er? This is just her name here.

She should have had her own name, but she lost it in order to survive.

So, why wouldn't Xiao Yun'er want to go home?

Xiaoyu understood that she must be missing it, she must really want to go home.

This is not Xiao Yuner's home. None of his family or friends are here.

She's even here, having lost her name.

Xiaoyu caressed Xiao Yuner's hair lovingly and gently, with mixed emotions in her eyes.

Sometimes Tang Xiaoyu really hates himself.

I hate myself for being so sensitive and having such damn empathy.

She couldn't bear to see anyone die in vain.

But if she really put herself in Xiao Yuner's shoes, she really wanted her to go home.

To be able to return to her own home.
