Murong Xuanyi wandered around in this completely unfamiliar dream world, time passed quietly, and five days had passed in the blink of an eye. If he couldn't find Yuan Ying again, he would never be able to go back, but at this moment he still had no clue, full of anxiety and confusion.

At this time, Yuan Ying was leaning against her mother. Her mother's hand gently stroked her hair. Her eyes were full of tenderness. She asked softly, "Yan'er, you have been here for a while. Have you ever thought about when you can go back?"

Yuan Ying was slightly stunned, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Mom, I really can't bear to leave you, and... and I don't know how to go back. I think it's good now, and I think it's good to stay with you like this."

The mother's eyes were full of love, but also a bit serious: "Mom can't bear to leave you, baby. But there are your husband and your children over there. They all need you, and you have your own responsibilities."

Yuan Ying lowered her head, feeling mixed emotions. She remembered Murong Xuanyi's deep affection and the cuteness of the children, but she couldn't let go of the real face of her mother.

"Mom, I know, but I'm afraid that I will lose you again when I go back." Yuan Ying's voice was filled with tears.

The mother hugged Yuan Ying in her arms and comforted him softly, "Silly child, I am always in your heart and will never disappear. I will feel at ease only if you go back and live a good life."

Yuan Ying listened to her mother's comfort and sobbed softly in her mother's arms. After a long time, she slowly raised her head, with tears still on her face, but her eyes were more determined: "Mom, I will listen to you and go back."

The mother smiled with relief, raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Yuan Ying's cheek, and said, "This is my good daughter. Go, don't let them wait too long."

Yuan Ying bit his lip and nodded vigorously.

And in that dream world, Murong Xuanyi was still searching everywhere like a headless fly. The remaining two days seemed like a sharp blade hanging over his head, and every minute and every second made his heart tighten.

On the sixth day, Murong Xuanyi came to a lake. Willows were swaying by the lake, and the breeze blew, causing ripples on the water.

Murong Xuanyi stood quietly by the lake, looking at the shimmering surface, his eyes full of despair and sadness.

He slowly closed his eyes, his heart felt as if being grasped by an invisible hand, causing him so much pain that he could not breathe.

At this moment, he had already made a firm decision in his heart. If he could not find Yuan Ying, he would not return to Daxia.

In his opinion, instead of returning to that cold world without Yuan Ying, it would be better to let his soul remain forever on the land where she was born and raised, guarding the traces of her life. Even if he could only accompany her in this way, it was better than living like a walking corpse in that lonely world.

Suddenly, he saw Yuan Ying's face faintly appearing in the lake. He was stunned at first, then he rushed to the lakeside excitedly and shouted loudly: "Yan'er! Yan'er! Is that you?"

The image in the lake seemed to be able to hear his voice, gradually becoming clearer, and Yuan Ying's appearance became more and more real. Murong Xuanyi was anxious and reached out to touch the image, but it only disturbed the calm water of the lake.

Yuan Ying seemed to feel Murong Xuanyi's call as well. In her consciousness, a faint thread seemed to appear, pulling her in a certain direction.

At this time, Murong Xuanyi on this side of the lake was still staring at the image of Yuan Ying in the lake, shouting non-stop, his voice already a little hoarse. Seeing that the image became blurry and clearer as he stirred the water, he was anxious but did not dare to make any big moves. He could only hope that Yuan Ying would really appear in front of him.

Just when Murong Xuanyi was extremely anxious, the image of Yuan Ying in the lake began to rise slowly and broke away from the water surface. With a flash of light, Yuan Ying's figure really appeared by the lake, standing right in front of Murong Xuanyi.

Murong Xuanyi's eyes widened. After a moment's pause, they were instantly filled with tears of surprise and excitement. He rushed forward and hugged Yuan Ying tightly in his arms. His strength was so strong that he seemed to rub Yuan Ying into his body. He said with tears and grievance: "Yan'er, it really is you. I thought... I thought I would never see you again. I have been looking for you so hard."

Yuan Ying hugged Murong Xuanyi back, tears streaming down her face. She choked and said, "Xuanyi, why did you come to China as well?"

Murong Xuanyi raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on Yuan Ying's cheeks. His eyes were full of affection and nostalgia. He responded with a hoarse voice: "Yan'er, without you, what's the point of going back to that cold world? Even if China is full of dangers, even if I may be trapped here forever, as long as I can find you, I will be willing."

Yuan Ying listened to his words, feeling touched and anxious. She tightly grasped Murong Xuanyi's arm and said in tears: "You are confused. We still have children and so many things to worry about. If we can't go back, what will happen to them?"

Murong Xuanyi was slightly startled, a hint of hesitation and guilt flashed in his eyes, but he soon regained his determination. He hugged Yuan Ying tighter and said softly:

"I know those responsibilities, but at that time, you were all I could think of. I thought that even if there was only a slight chance to see you again, I couldn't give up. Now that I can find you, it's God's blessing."

"Yan'er, I only have one day left, please come back with me."

Yuan Ying felt a pang of pain in her heart as she listened to Murong Xuanyi's anxious and expectant words. She held Murong Xuanyi's hand tightly, her eyes full of entanglement and reluctance. She looked in the direction of her mother, then looked at Murong Xuanyi, and said with a trembling voice:

"Xuan Yi, I also want to go back with you, but I just saw my mother, and I don't know when I will see her again."

Murong Xuanyi looked at Yuan Ying with sincere eyes. He gently held Yuan Ying in his arms and whispered in her ear: "Yan'er, I understand your reluctance, but if we don't go back, the children will be so sad. And if I can't go back, we will be trapped here forever, and our family will never be reunited again."

Yuan Ying leaned in Murong Xuanyi's arms, tears blurring her eyes again. She knew that what Murong Xuanyi said was true, but the dilemma was too torturous.

After a long silence, she slowly raised her head, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Okay, Xuanyi, I'll go back with you, but I want to say goodbye to my mother again."

Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi walked into the house together. Yuan Ying came to his mother, his eyes full of reluctance, and said softly: "Mom, he is Murong Xuanyi, my husband."

Murong Xuanyi hurried forward and bowed respectfully to Yuan Ying's mother. He stood tall and straight, showing his elegant demeanor. With a gentle and sincere smile on his face, he said, "Mother-in-law, I was not able to come to see you before. It is my fault. It is an honor to see you today."

Yuan Ying's mother carefully looked at Murong Xuanyi. Seeing that he was handsome, his words and deeds revealed an extraordinary demeanor, and he was very polite, she was very satisfied. She smiled and nodded and said, "You are indeed a handsome man. No wonder my Yan'er is always thinking about you. Stop being so polite and take a seat."

Yuan Ying took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and then said to his mother: "Mom, we came here to say goodbye to you. Time is running out, we have to go back, otherwise... we won't be able to go back."

The smile on Yuan Ying's mother's face gradually disappeared, and tears welled up in her eyes. She took Yuan Ying's hand, looked at Murong Xuanyi again, and said in a choked voice: "I'm leaving now. Alas, although I'm very reluctant to let you go, I also know that you have your own difficulties. It's good for you to go back. Remember to live a good life."

Yuan Ying threw herself into her mother's arms, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried. The scene made Murong Xuanyi's eyes red. After a long time, Yuan Ying slowly let go of her mother, wiped her tears, and said, "Mom, you must take care of yourself."

Murong Xuanyi also bowed to Yuan Ying's mother again and said sincerely: "Mother-in-law, please take care of yourself. I will take good care of Yan'er. You don't need to worry."

Yuan Ying's mother nodded, waved her hand, and said with all her might, "Go, go, live a good life. Mom is here hoping that everything is going well for you."

Yuan Ying and Murong Xuanyi then turned around and walked out of the house, looking back every few steps. Hand in hand, with a desire for family reunion and reluctance to part, they walked quickly in the direction that might allow them to leave the dream world. Every step was firm, hoping to smoothly return to their real life.

Yuan Ying walked into the house again. She came to her mother, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Mom, I am an unfilial daughter. I have to leave you again, but my family is waiting for me over there. I am really worried. You must take care of yourself."

Yuan Ying's mother's eyes were already red. She helped Yuan Ying up, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said softly, trying to hold back the sadness in her heart: "Silly child, mother understands, you go quickly, as long as you are doing well, mother will be at ease."

Yuan Ying nodded vigorously, then turned around and walked out of the house with Murong Xuanyi.
