Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Lingzhu starts a new dream

The sun shone warmly upon us, dispelling the chill brought by the ruins. I clutched the spirit pearl tightly in my hand, its warm light filtering through my fingers, leaving a pulsating circle of light in my palm. Returning home, I still felt a wave of exhaustion. Hao Yang wasn't much better either, his face pale as he rested on the edge of the bed.

I sat beside him, my palms spread open. The spirit pearl lay quietly there, emitting a soft light. This light was completely different from the one I saw in the ruins. It was no longer dazzling, but a restrained, warm light full of vitality.

"It... seems to have changed." I murmured to myself, and my fingertips gently touched the smooth surface of the spirit bead. A warm current instantly spread throughout my body, and the feeling of fatigue dissipated a lot.

Hao Yang opened his eyes and looked at the spirit bead in my hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. "Yes, it feels... softer."

For the next few days, we stayed close to the pearl, observing its every change. It seemed to breathe, its light flickering like a beating heart. I could even sense a powerful force within it, an unknown, heart-pounding power.

A bold idea gradually germinated within me. I had transmigrated into this book, becoming its villain, destined to be tormented by fate and ultimately face a tragic end. But now, I possessed this spiritual pearl, so powerful, so mysterious. Could it… help me change all of this? Change my predetermined fate, or even… alter the entire course of the story?

This thought grew wildly in my mind like a weed, gradually occupying all my thoughts. I began to fantasize that if I could control this power, I could protect Hao Yang, protect my family, and create a completely different future...

Hao Yang seemed to notice something was wrong with me. He held my hand and asked with concern, "Yaoyao, what are you thinking about?"

I looked up and met his worried gaze, and a warm feeling welled up in my heart. I told him what was on my mind, including my anxiety and fear, as well as my hopes for the future.

After listening to me, Hao Yang was silent for a moment, then he held my hand tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination. "Yaoyao, no matter what you want to do, I support you. Since this spirit pearl chose you, it must have its meaning. Let's explore its secrets together, and no matter what difficulties lie ahead, we will face them together."

His words were like a ray of warm sunshine, dispelling the haze in my heart and giving me infinite courage. I held his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and my heart was filled with hope.

I stood up and carefully put the spirit pearl away. A thought flashed through my mind. Perhaps... I should go talk to Elder Wei... I walked to the door and paused. "Hao Yang, I'm going to go talk to Elder Wei..."

I took a deep breath and pushed open Elder Wei's door. He was sitting at the table flipping through ancient books. When he saw me come in, he smiled kindly and said, "Yaoyao, what's going on?"

I walked up to him and carefully placed the spirit pearl in my hand on the table. It emitted a soft light, illuminating the entire room. Elder Wei's eyes fell on the spirit pearl, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He picked up the spirit pearl, examined it carefully, and frowned slightly.

"This...this is..." Elder Wei's voice trembled a little. He raised his head and stared at me with burning eyes. "Yaoyao, where did you find this spiritual pearl?"

I told Elder Wei everything about my experience at the ruins, including the changes in the spirit pearl and the bold idea I had in mind. After listening, Elder Wei fell into deep thought. After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Yaoyao, this spirit pearl may... possess the power to change fate."

His words, like a thunderclap, exploded in my heart. My heartbeat quickened, and my breathing became rapid. "Is it really possible to change my fate?"

Elder Wei nodded, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "The power of the Spirit Pearl far exceeds our imagination. It may open up a whole new world, a world without the predetermined fates in books."

His words ignited a strong desire in me. A world without villains, without tragic endings, a world filled with love and peace... What a beautiful future that would be!

However, Elder Wei's next words poured cold water on me. "Yaoyao, you must understand that this process will be arduous. You will have to pay a huge price and may face many unknown dangers."

My heart sank, and a sense of worry welled up in me. Is it really that easy to change my fate? I began to hesitate and become afraid.

Elder Wei seemed to see through my thoughts. He patted my shoulder and said earnestly, "Yaoyao, the realization of dreams is never smooth sailing. You need courage and even more determination. Are you willing to give everything for your dream?"

I looked up at Elder Wei's kind face, my heart filled with gratitude. His words gave me great encouragement and support. I took a deep breath and nodded firmly. "I do! For my dream, I'm willing to give everything!"

Elder Wei smiled with relief. He placed the spirit pearl back in my hand and said, "Yaoyao, I believe in you. Take this spirit pearl as an opportunity to pursue your dream!"

I clutched the spirit pearl tightly in my hand, my heart filled with hope and strength. I knew the road ahead would be thorny, but I wouldn't give up. I wanted to create a future of my own, a world without villains, filled with love and peace!

I returned to the room and found Hao Yang anxiously waiting for me. I told him what Elder Wei had said, and his eyes lit up with hope.

"Yaoyao, let's work hard together!" He held my hand tightly and gave me strength.

But... where do we even begin? I stared at the spirit pearl in my hand, lost in thought... "Hao Yang, you said we..." Before I could finish, there was a knock on the door. It was Master Hao. He looked grave, holding an ancient parchment scroll...
