After Chen Ming finished speaking...

The icy coldness in Ling Yue's eyes trembled slightly.

Even the corners of her lips, which had been taut all along, couldn't help but relax a little.

At this moment, Ling Yue was somewhat dazed.

How long has it been...?

It had been so long since she had felt this sense of protection.

From a young age, she has always been strong-willed and wanted to stand on her own.

Born into such a family, coupled with her beautiful appearance and exceptional talent, her strong will was never a valid point.

It's not that she couldn't do it, but rather that everything about her was so perfect that there was always a force around her protecting her from the wind and rain.

Even if she didn't want this power.

But they have never disappeared.

It wasn't until the game became a reality that, amidst all the changes, the various forms of protection surrounding Ling Yue gradually disappeared. It was from that time onward that she truly felt the tangible reality of this world.

But she's only just begun to experience the real world...

Pressure follows.

Pearl, jade, and white jade soup were expelled.

The protection of China has disappeared.

Countries attacked like ferocious beasts.

Real death is happening every single second.

All these pressures crashed down like a waterfall onto Ling Yue, who had just begun to experience real touch.

Fortunately, she has always had high standards for herself.

That's what made her grit her teeth and withstand the pressure.

Her subsequent choice to withstand the risk of being possessed and resurrected, join the Rose of Redemption, and carry the banner of China pushed the pressure on her to its limit.

That's right, she is the world's number one female mage.

He is the strongest person in China who followed the Queen and entered the path of divinity.

He is the undisputed leader of Snow Moon, the second largest guild in China.

She is a goddess of magic who holds a position second only to Chen Ming and on par with the Queen in the hearts of countless Chinese players.

but……

She was just a girl in her early twenties.

She's just a girl who's never even been in a relationship, and who's always tried to live under the label of being outstanding.

Under extreme pressure and in the face of life-or-death crises, she made those decisions without much thought.

The fear brought to her by those real deaths, the trembling when she decided to join the Rose of Redemption, and the nausea, urgency, and collapse she felt upon learning that the old monster could possess her body at any time...

Already under immense pressure, she dealt with it all with numb emotions.

It seems that these emotions have been dealt with.

But in reality, it was just buried deep inside.

Until this moment.

After hearing Chen Ming's words, I felt a long-lost sense of being protected...

at last.

It could no longer be contained.

The wind and snow that I endured alone, the grievances that I swallowed down, all of which had frozen into icicles, suddenly welled up in my eyes.

She didn't cry.

Suddenly, tears welled up, streaming down her cheeks, across her numb skin, and pattering onto the ground.

She didn't seem to realize her own emotions.

Even though tears were streaming down her face, she still subconsciously answered Chen Ming's questions.

"The plan to redeem the rose..."

"They gave me many Soul-Severing Stones and asked me to place them in the Western Ruins."

"After completing all the arrangements, I will use myself as bait to ascend to the second floor, activate the divine runes, and awaken that ancient powerhouse."

"And then...and then..."

"Ok?"

"What's this……"

She finally realized that her face was covered in tears.

There were also sobbing sounds and trembling bodies.

She could force herself to numb herself with willpower and overcome her many emotions, but her body had already reached its limit.

I can't hold on any longer.

Chen Ming raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to wipe away the girl's tears, but his hand ultimately froze in mid-air.

He was not in a position to wipe away Ling Yue's tears.
