Chapter 25: Confrontation in the Illusion

Lu Ling'er's vision gradually blurred, and everything around her began to seem unreal. When she could see clearly again, she found herself standing in a magnificent palace. This place was familiar to her—it was exactly the imperial palace described in the novel. And standing before her was the person she least wanted to meet—the time-traveling Bai Mengyao.

Bai Mengyao was dressed in luxurious brocade clothes, with a smile that was so "shrewd" that it was outrageous. Lu Linger's mind instantly flashed with Bai Mengyao's various methods and Lu Xinling's tragic ending in the novel.

"Oh, isn't this the future Crown Princess Lu Xinling?" Bai Mengyao smiled innocently, but her tone was full of sarcasm.

Lu Linger sneered and rolled her eyes inwardly: "This is too dramatic. Even the illusion has to arrange such a bloody plot. It's really a rip-off!"

She secretly complained, "This Bai Mengyao really is a 'super actor'. Isn't she tired of acting all day? How about I give her the 'Best Actress' award instead, so she doesn't have to work so hard."

"Haha, you think you can trick the prince with a few tricks?" Lu Linger curled her lips in disdain and said casually, "Don't forget, this is my illusion. I won't let you succeed so easily."

"Really? Then we'll see." Bai Mengyao raised her eyebrows, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

Lu Linger's heart sank, knowing this illusory duel would be incredibly difficult. But then she cracked a wicked smile. "But I have to thank you, Bai Mengyao. If it weren't for you, the 'Best Actress,' I wouldn't have learned so many skills about not being cannon fodder."

Bai Mengyao's expression froze, as if she didn't expect Lu Linger to respond in this way.

At this moment, the illusion shook, and Lu Ling'er's surroundings suddenly became dim. She immediately became alert, clenched her fists, and prepared to face the next challenge at any time.

At the same time, Gu Yichen was also experiencing his own illusion. In this illusion, Lu Linger disappeared without a trace, and no matter how hard he looked for her, he could not find any trace of her.

"Ling'er! Where are you?" Gu Yichen's voice was filled with anxiety and pain. His heart was tormented by deep regret and fear, as if he had lost the only person who mattered to him in the world.

The darkness of the illusion surrounded him mercilessly, and every inch of space seemed to mock his powerlessness. Just when he was about to collapse, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Hey, Yichen, why are you so nervous? I'm not dead yet!"

Gu Yichen was stunned for a moment, then saw Lu Linger standing in front of him, with her arms folded across her chest and a playful smile on her face.

"Ling'er, are you okay?" Gu Yichen was overjoyed and reached out to hold her hand, but Lu Ling'er dodged it lightly.

"Oh, Yichen, you are so anxious, I'm a little scared!" Lu Linger blinked in pretended fear, with a hint of sarcasm.

Gu Yichen then realized that his actions had been somewhat inappropriate, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. "Where did you go just now? I...I thought something happened to you."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Lu Linger smiled playfully and waved her hand in front of Gu Yichen. "But your reaction just now really touched me. I didn't expect that Mr. Gu cared so much about me."

Gu Yichen blushed slightly when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly: "Stop teasing me."

Lu Linger chuckled and said, "Who told you to have so much fun? But having said that, we can't let our guard down. This illusion isn't that simple."

Gu Yichen nodded and regained his composure. He knew that the Ling'er in front of him was not the real Ling'er, but her playfulness and humor gradually dispelled the fear in his heart.

"Okay, let's face the next challenge together." Gu Yichen said firmly.

The two stood side by side again, heading deeper into the illusion. Although the road ahead was still unknown and full of dangers, they trusted each other and no longer felt fear.
