Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Celebrating the new life with joy

My heart sank. Wei Xue's smile gave me chills. What was hidden... around her waist? Before I could even think, Wei Xue suddenly pulled out something. A flash of cold light shone, and it flew straight towards me!

It's a dagger!

At the critical moment, Hao Yang pushed me away, and the dagger flew past my arm and stabbed deeply into the rock behind him.

"Hao Yang!" I screamed and quickly supported him.

"I'm fine..." Hao Yang's face was pale and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Seeing this, Wei Xue laughed wildly: "Hahaha... Wei Yao, do you think I will really ask for help? I hate you! I want you to die!" She struggled to get up, but her injuries were too severe and she couldn't move at all.

I watched her frantic behavior, and a wave of sadness washed over me. I had wanted to save her, but she turned her kindness against me, trying to kill me again.

Elder Wei's face turned pale and he shouted angrily, "Wei Xue, you are too presumptuous!" He stepped forward and pressed Wei Xue's acupoints to stop her from struggling.

I supported Hao Yang and examined his injuries. Luckily, the dagger had only scratched him, not hit him vitally. I drew healing medicine from my system and carefully bandaged him.

Hao Yang held my hand and comforted me softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

I looked up and looked into his eyes, my heart filled with emotion. In this dangerous moment, he stood in front of me without hesitation and protected me.

"Thank you, Haoyang." My voice was a little choked.

"Silly boy, why are you thanking me?" Hao Yang smiled, with a hint of pampering in his smile.

After treating Hao Yang's injuries, I looked at Wei Xue again. She had calmed down, her eyes filled with despair and regret.

I walked up to her, squatted down, and asked calmly, "Wei Xue, why are you doing this?"

Wei Xue did not answer, but just lowered her head and cried silently.

I sighed, feeling a mixture of emotions. I had considered her a friend, but she had betrayed me time and time again.

"Elder Wei, take her back." I stood up and said lightly.

Elder Wei nodded and took Wei Xue away.

I looked at their backs and suddenly felt relieved. The crisis was finally over, and I could finally enjoy a moment of peace with Hao Yang.

As the sun sets, golden sunlight fills the valley and everything seems so beautiful.

I snuggled in Hao Yang's arms, quietly feeling his warmth.

"Wei Yao," Hao Yang suddenly said, "We..."

The afterglow of the setting sun cast a warm golden glow over us. Hao Yang's voice was low and hesitant. I looked up at him, waiting for his unfinished words. But he just looked at me deeply and then held me in his arms.

I ultimately decided to save Wei Xue. Although she had tried to harm me time and again, seeing her eyes of despair and regret, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Perhaps this is the biggest difference between me and the original owner.

I channeled healing energy from my system, and a warm white light enveloped Wei Xue. I could feel her body slowly recovering, her wounds gradually healing. This healing energy not only repaired her physical wounds but also cleansed her mind, dispelling negative emotions.

After a while, Wei Xue slowly opened her eyes. The madness and resentment in her eyes were no longer there, but an incredible bewilderment. She looked at me with a complicated expression, with surprise, guilt, and... a hint of gratitude?

"You...you saved me?" Her voice was hoarse and trembling.

I nodded and replied calmly, "I hope you can understand that some mistakes can be made up for."

Wei Xue's tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked and said, "Wei Yao, I... I'm sorry. I was obsessed with you and jealous of everything you did, so I did so many wrong things. Thank you, thank you for saving me, and thank you for forgiving me." Her tone was sincere, and her eyes were full of regret and gratitude.

I looked at her, and a huge weight lifted off my chest. This feeling was easier than defeating an enemy or completing a mission; it was a genuine, heartfelt relief.

Elder Wei looked at the scene and nodded with satisfaction. He decided to return to the clan to report the good news and take Wei Xue back to face her due punishment. After all, her previous mistakes could not be ignored. Before leaving, he told Hao Yang and me to rest well and to keep an eye on Wei Xue to prevent her from doing anything foolish again.

We nodded in agreement. After watching Elder Wei and Wei Xue leave, Hao Yang and I were the only ones left in the valley. The sun had already set, and night had fallen. Everything was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Hao Yang took my hand. His hand was warm and dry, giving me an inexplicable sense of security. He said nothing, but silently pulled me forward.

I followed him through a dense forest and arrived at a small garden hidden deep in a valley. Moonlight streamed down, shrouding the garden in a hazy glow. Various exotic flowers and plants exuded a delicate fragrance in the night, refreshing the heart.

Hao Yang stopped and turned to look at me...

Moonlight poured down like water, shrouding the garden in a dreamy halo. Various exotic flowers and plants swayed gently in the night, emitting a faint fragrance that was refreshing. Hao Yang's hand was warm and strong, and he held mine tightly, as if wanting to merge me into his world.

He gently pulled me into his arms. I could feel his powerful heartbeat, beating against my eardrums. His breath was warm, brushing against my ears with the faint fragrance of grass and trees. "After going through so much, I finally understand how much you mean to me." His voice was low and gentle, like a moving melody, echoing in my heart.

My cheeks flushed, and my heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably. I leaned gently into his arms, feeling his warmth, his breath, his heartbeat. At that moment, the world seemed to stand still, leaving only him and me, and the fragrance of the garden.

My thoughts went back to the day we first met. Back then, he was a naive, unworldly punk, and I was the aloof, arrogant villain. Who could have imagined that fate would turn so miraculously, bringing us, two people who had nothing in common, together?

We have been through so much together, from initial suspicion of each other to fighting side by side, and now to the closeness we share. The dangers, difficulties, and thrilling moments we faced have now become our shared memories and a testament to our love.

I remember the first time we joined forces to fight Wei Qing's conspiracy. Back then, we were filled with suspicion and wariness of each other. I remember when we were trapped in the cave, facing unknown danger, he held me tightly, his body warmth warming me and giving me strength. I also remember the moment Wei Xue stabbed me with a dagger, he bravely blocked my way, using his body to build an indestructible wall for me.

Scene after scene flashed through my mind like a film reel. Every danger, every challenge made us understand each other better and cherish each other more. And I, gradually, was moved by his sunshine, optimism, and unwavering perseverance, and unknowingly fell in love with him.

I looked up at his face. In the moonlight, his features were even more distinct and handsome. His eyes were filled with tenderness and love, as if to melt me ​​in his affection.

"Hao Yang..." I called his name softly, my voice trembling a little.

He lowered his head and looked at me gently, his eyes full of tenderness and love. He gently lifted my chin and stroked my cheek with his thumb. My skin seemed to be on fire under his touch.

"Wei Yao..." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of uncontrollable excitement.

He slowly moved closer to me, his breath getting hotter and hotter...

"drop--"

A slight sound broke the beautiful silence. I felt the system vibrate slightly, and a new prompt appeared in my mind... Hao Yang's hand stopped in mid-air. He looked at me with a hint of doubt in his eyes...

A "tick" sound, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, sent ripples through the air, disturbing my tranquility. Hao Yang's hand lingered on my chin, his gentle touch still there, but the suspicion in his eyes deepened. I could even feel the pause in his fingertips, the love that was about to burst forth was interrupted by this sudden system notification.

I stepped back from his arms reluctantly and smiled calmly, "It's okay, maybe the system is acting up again." I tried to hide my inner uneasiness with a relaxed tone, but Hao Yang keenly noticed my abnormality.

"Are you really okay? You don't look well." He asked with concern, his brows slightly furrowed.

I shook my head, focusing on the system prompt in my mind. It was a line of flashing red text, glaring like a warning light: **"High-risk energy fluctuations detected. Host, please prepare."** So brief, yet so unsettling. No specific time, no clear location, not even the source of the danger, only this vague warning.

I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. Ever since I transmigrated into the book, the system has been my golden finger, my greatest support. It's never wrong, and every prompt is crucial. I subconsciously clenched my fist, my fingertips practically digging into my palm. A high-risk energy fluctuation? What could this mean? Was it Wei Qing's return? Or was Wei Xue secretly plotting something? Or perhaps, a completely new threat, never before seen in the book?

"Wei Yao?" Hao Yang's voice rang out again, pulling me back from my chaotic thoughts. He looked at me worriedly, his eyes full of concern and inquiry.

I forced a smile. "It's really nothing, just a minor problem. Let's go back first. Elder Wei is still waiting for us."

I didn't want him to worry, nor did I want to ruin this hard-earned peace. Although the system prompt made me uneasy, I believed that as long as Hao Yang and I were together, there would be no difficulties that could not be overcome.

We returned to the hall, where Elder Wei was sitting, sipping his tea with a kind smile on his face. Seeing us return, he put down his teacup and stood up.

"How is it? Did the young couple have a good conversation?" he joked with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

My cheeks turned red and I secretly glanced at Hao Yang. He was smiling gently, his eyes full of pampering.

"Elder Wei..." I was about to speak when the system vibrated again. This time, the vibration was more violent, and the red warning font was more eye-catching: **"Danger is approaching..."** I looked up suddenly and looked out the window. The night was dark, and the wind rustled the leaves. Everything seemed so calm, but there was an indescribable tension hidden in it.

My hand unconsciously tightened around Hao Yang's. His hand was warm and strong, giving me a great sense of security. I felt his gaze on me, filled with questioning and worry. I opened my mouth, wanting to say something, but I didn't know how to explain it.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from the window, blowing out several candles in the hall, and the whole room was instantly plunged into semi-darkness. I was startled and a sense of foreboding came over me.

"Be careful..." Before I could finish my words, a dark shadow flashed past the window...
