Taking the opportunity of traveling through books

Confused and confused

Am I...am I wrong?

The spirit pearl in my hand gleamed, as if mocking my presumption. Wei Xue and Wei Qing's sarcasm pricked my nerves like fine needles. Even more terrifying were the whispers around me, those glances tinged with suspicion, pity, even contempt, like an invisible net, binding me tightly. I clutched the spirit pearl tightly, my knuckles white, but I felt no warmth, only a chill that penetrated my bones. Is it really possible to change my fate? Was I wrong from the beginning?

"Yaoyao..." Hao Yang's voice trembled slightly. He sat next to me carefully, as if he were treating a fragile piece of porcelain. He reached out and gently placed his hand on my shoulder. I could feel the warmth of his palm, but it couldn't dispel the chill in my heart. "Don't listen to their nonsense. We've come this far and been through so much. How many times haven't we been questioned? But we've made it through, haven't we?"

His words flowed through my heart like a warm current, only to be quickly overwhelmed by a deeper chill. I looked up at him, my eyes lost. "But this time is different, Hao Yang. We're facing fate, a predetermined outcome. Can I... can I really change it?" My voice trembled, tinged with despair.

Hao Yang held me in his arms. His embrace was warm and firm, like a safe harbor, and I couldn't help but want to lean on him. However, the uneasiness in my heart became stronger and stronger. I clutched his collar tightly, as if grasping at the last straw. "Hao Yang, I'm scared..."

"Don't be afraid, Yaoyao, I'm here." He patted my back gently and repeated this sentence over and over again.

Yet I remained afraid. I feared that all my efforts would be in vain, that I would ultimately be unable to escape the fate described in the book. I looked up at the sky, which was gray and as depressing as my mood. The spirit pearl in my hand seemed especially heavy.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it a faint fragrance. I looked up and saw...

I saw a figure, shimmering with a pale green light, slowly descending from the sky. It was the mysterious spirit who had aided us in the ruins. She landed gracefully in front of me, her eyes filled with wisdom, as if she could see through my every thought.

"I feel your confusion and bewilderment, child." Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze blowing across my cheek.

I looked up at her, and an inexplicable sense of intimacy surged in my heart. "You...why are you here?"

"The vibrations of the spirit pearl drew me here. It chose you, so there must be a reason for it." The elf smiled gently, reaching out and gently stroking the spirit pearl in my hand. "You have witnessed its magical power in the ruins, haven't you? Don't give up so easily."

Hao Yang also held my hand, giving me strength. "Yes, Yaoyao, the elf is right. We have been through so much together, and we have seen the power of the spirit pearl with our own eyes. It will definitely help us change our destiny."

Despite their encouragement, the gloom in my heart lingered. Wei Xue and Wei Qing's laughter still echoed in my ears, and the strange looks from those around me were etched in my mind like a brand. I lowered my head, staring at the gradually dimming light of the spirit pearl in my hand, feeling overwhelmed with a sense of powerlessness.

"But... can I really do this?" My voice was low and hoarse, choking with sobs. "I came from a book and became its villain, destined to be despised by everyone and doomed to destruction. I... I may never be able to break free from the constraints of this identity."

I closed my eyes and let the tears fall. I'd tried so hard for so long, so hard to change my fate, but in the end, perhaps it was all in vain. I even began to doubt whether I really had the ability to change anything.

The elf sighed softly, reached out her hand, and gently touched my forehead with her fingertips. A cool breeze instantly flowed through my body, gradually calming my chaotic thoughts.

"Child, fate is not set in stone. You have the power to change it, but you haven't discovered it yet." The elf's voice was mysterious, as if it contained endless wisdom. "The Spirit Pearl chose you because you possess unlimited potential. Don't be fooled by the current difficulties. Believe in yourself, you can do it."

Just when I was about to give up, the spirit pearl in my hand suddenly emitted a faint light. Although this light was weak, it was like a shining star, illuminating the dark corners of my heart. I was stunned, staring at the spirit pearl in my hand, my heart filled with doubts, but also with a glimmer of inexplicable hope. This light...what does it mean?

I held my breath, feeling everything around me quiet down. I stared at the spirit pearl, trying to decipher the message it wanted to convey... "This..."
