Time Travel: The Tsundere Junior Sister Goes Crazy

On the misty top of Xiuxian Peak, an ancient pavilion stands on the edge of the cliff!

It is surrounded by lush spiritual plants, and from time to time spiritual birds fly through it, their chirping sounds clear and pleasant.

Bu Ze was wearing a plain robe, with his sleeves swaying gently in the wind. He stood quietly beside the pavilion, his eyes fixed deeply and intently on Shen Yue, who was frowning in deep thought not far away.

Shen Yue had her back to the cliff and was facing the vast sky. Her long hair was slightly messy due to the breeze, but it added a bit of unruly and free and easy feeling to her.

There were complex emotions flashing in her eyes, sometimes deep as the abyss, sometimes bright as the stars!

She clenched her hands into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, but she felt no pain at all, because the confusion and struggle in her heart were far more intense than the physical pain.

Bu Ze looked at Shen Yue, his heart filled with helplessness and worry.

Although he had practiced for many years in this world of immortal cultivation and had seen countless rare and exotic beasts and the mysteries of heaven and earth, he still felt helpless about the troubles in Shen Yue's heart at the moment.

He knew very well that the path to becoming an immortal was full of unknowns and challenges. Every cultivator needed to comprehend and break through on his own, and it was difficult for others to do it for him.

However, Bu Ze still chose to stand silently beside Shen Yue, giving her silent support and companionship with his presence.

His eyes were full of tenderness and determination, as if to say: "The road ahead is unknown, so it is better to live well now."

As time passed, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually covered the entire peak.

It gave the pair of figures standing side by side a golden glow.

Shen Yue looked at the blue sky in front of him and remained silent.

In a dark and messy cave, Shen Yue curled up in a corner, surrounded by cold and damp stone walls. Occasionally, the sound of dripping water broke the silence.

Her face was pale, but her eyes sparkled with an unyielding light, as if she was silently fighting against fate.

"I don't have the leisure and elegance to pay attention to things like 'life never stops, struggle never stops' and 'tomorrow will be better'."

Shen Yue muttered to himself, with a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in his voice, "I only hope that I can walk out of this hellhole alive and return to that familiar yet distant world. If I can't go back... then at least I want to live clearly and meaningfully in this world."

Her voice echoed in the empty cave, sounding particularly lonely and resolute.

Shen Yue looked up at Bu Ze, and there was now a hint of complex emotions in those eyes that were originally as calm as water.

"Bu Ze, do you believe in the next life?" she asked suddenly, with a hint of expectation in her tone, yet she seemed afraid of getting the answer.

Bu Ze stood quietly in front of her, his eyes still calm, as if he could see into people's hearts but would not reveal them easily.

"I have practiced for many years and have seen many cycles of life and death, but 'next life' is neither a belief nor a pursuit for me."

He spoke slowly, his voice gentle and deep, "I prefer to cherish the present and seize the present. Because no matter what the future holds, it is built on the present."

Shen Yue was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, you are always so rational and sober. But I...I can't do it."

She lowered her eyes, her fingers unconsciously stroking the gravel on the ground, "I don't want to pin my hopes on an unknown tomorrow. I just want... to live well now, for myself and for those I care about."

Bu Ze sighed softly, took a few steps forward, squatted down, and looked at Shen Yue at eye level.

"Shen Yue, everyone faces difficulties differently. But remember, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, you are not alone. I will always be by your side and face it with you."

"Shen Yue, Shen Yue."

Shen Yue suddenly opened her eyes. The surroundings were no longer the dark and messy cave, but her familiar and warm room.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains onto her face, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort.

She sat on the bed in a daze, her heartbeat not yet completely calmed down. The dream just now receded like the tide, but the deep feeling lingered for a long time.

Bu Ze's voice sounded at the right time, gentle and concerned: "Shen Yue, are you dreaming?"

He stood by the bed, his eyes full of worry.

Shen Yue looked up at Bu Ze, with a complex emotion in her eyes. She shook her head gently, trying to pull herself out of the aftermath of the dream. "It's okay, it was just a dream." She tried to make her voice sound calm, "But... that dream was quite real."

Bu Ze frowned slightly when he heard this. He obviously noticed that something was wrong with Shen Yue's mood.

"What did you dream about? Can you tell me?" he asked softly, trying to comfort Shen Yue with his tenderness.

Shen Yue was silent for a while, as if she was weighing something. In the end, she chose to be honest.

"I...I dreamed that I placed my hope in someone who hurt me."

She spoke slowly, with a hint of bitterness in her voice, "But after waking up, I realized how ridiculous and stupid this idea was. How could I be so easily bound by the past and give my future to someone who is not worthy?"

After hearing this, Bu Ze's eyes were as calm as water.

After a while, Wei Jue and Ye Li also came over.

Shen Yue muttered, "I hope he won't kill me again."

As the four of them carefully shuttled through the intricate passages, the air around them suddenly became extremely heavy, as if even their breathing could cause an echo.

At this moment, a soft and mysterious light penetrated the darkness and attracted everyone's attention.

"Look over there!"

Ye Li was the first to notice the abnormality. She pointed to an open space in front of her. There was nothing there originally, but now an ancient scroll slowly emerged from it.

The surface of the scroll was covered with intricate totems and unknown runes. As the light grew stronger, these patterns seemed to come alive, flashing dazzling light.

"what is this?"

Wei Jue looked around vigilantly, and only after confirming that there was no danger approaching did he slowly approach the ancient scroll.

He reached out and touched it gently, feeling a warm force flowing through his fingertips, and couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.

"The scroll... looks extraordinary."

Bu Ze narrowed his eyes and studied the ancient scroll carefully, his eyes flashing with curiosity and wisdom. He whispered, "I can feel the ancient knowledge and power contained in it. This may be the key to unlocking the secrets of the secret realm."

Shen Yue stood aside, also attracted by the light emitted by the ancient scroll.

She took a deep breath and walked forward slowly, keeping a distance from the ancient scroll, and feeling the ancient breath with her heart.

"We should... maybe try to decipher it."

There was a hint of uncertainty in Shen Yue's voice.

The four of them sat around the ancient scroll, each using their own strengths to try to decipher the contents of the scroll.

Ye Li used her keen observation skills to look for the patterns between the patterns; Wei Jue tried to use the power sensing method in martial arts to touch the runes, hoping to trigger resonance.

Bu Ze closed his eyes and used his unique perception ability to try to establish a spiritual connection with the ancient scroll.

"Look here, these runes seem to be telling an ancient story..."

Ye Li suddenly pointed to a corner of the ancient scroll and said, her discovery made others' eyes light up.

"And this place seems to be guiding us to somewhere..."

Wei Jue added, sliding his fingers along the rune as if drawing an invisible route.
