Star Journey: Destiny Returns

Chapter 118 The Choice Between Love and Mission

Enveloped in that radiant light, Yunxuan and Yaoyue's bodies seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, passing through an unknown doorway. As the light gradually faded, the scene before them was astonishing—a dazzling and colorful world unfolded before them, and the air was filled with exotic aromas, like a fusion of delicious delicacies from all over the world.

"Is this the most delicious place?" Yaoyue's eyes showed amazement, and she felt an unprecedented tranquility and beauty.

"It seems so." Yun Xuan took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air and rich aroma, and was secretly happy in his heart, "We have finally arrived at a new place!"

However, their excitement didn't last long. Beneath the beauty before them lurked unknown dangers. Yunxuan's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, faintly sensing an air of unease. "Yaoyue, stay alert."

At this moment, a sudden commotion was heard from afar, and several explorers dressed in black rushed out, greedy expressions on their faces. They seemed to have been lurking here for a long time, their eyes like hawks, staring directly at Yunxuan and Yaoyue.

"How dare you break in here? You are so bold!" The leading man smiled coldly, his tone full of contempt and threat.

"This is the place we found!" Yun Xuan didn't flinch. He looked up at the other party, a flame of anger burning in his heart. "You have no right to act wildly here!"

Yaoyue's heart tightened. Although she was proud of Yunxuan's courage, she knew that the enemy was outnumbered and the situation was not optimistic. "Yunxuan, don't be impulsive. We need to find a way to leave."

"No, we can't retreat!" Yunxuan's voice was as firm as a rock, and his protective consciousness for Yaoyue rose again. He turned to Yaoyue and smiled faintly: "Trust me, we will definitely find a way out."

Yaoyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Yunxuan's confidence and determination seemed to give her endless courage. But she still felt a little uneasy: "But we are facing an enemy now. We can't ignore the danger because of our emotions."

"I will protect you, no matter what happens!" Yun Xuan said firmly, his eyes revealing a strong determination and courage. His voice was like a spring breeze, warm and firm, and Yao Yue's worries gradually dissipated.

"Okay, I believe you." Yaoyue nodded, silently repeating this trust in her heart, and putting all fear and anxiety behind her.

As the two exchanged words, the black-clad explorers rushed over. Yunxuan reacted quickly, leaping at one enemy and using the force to push him back. Meanwhile, Yaoyue, not to be outdone, quickly wielded her weapon and engaged the enemy.

During the battle, Yunxuan and Yaoyue's coordination became increasingly seamless, as if they had been honed through countless trials. In this unfamiliar environment, they displayed a surprising level of understanding and trust, their bond heightened through the battle.

"There's an enemy on the left!" Yao Yue shouted, quickly blocking the attack and counterattacking.

"I know!" Yunxuan dodged to the side and took the opportunity to knock the enemy down. His face was covered with sweat mixed with excitement and nervousness.

"We can't stop!" Yaoyue's voice was full of urgency. She was clearly aware that if they continued to be trapped here, they would face greater danger.

"The exit is just ahead!" Yun Xuan pointed to the glimmering passage ahead while fending off the enemy's attacks. "Let's go!"

Yaoyue didn't hesitate and quickly ran towards Yunxuan's position, silently proud of his courage. However, the moment she turned around, a black-clad explorer suddenly pounced from the side. Yaoyue had no time to react and was about to be knocked down.

"Yaoyue, be careful!" Yunxuan's heart tightened, and he immediately rushed towards Yaoyue, forcibly pushing her away. Although he successfully saved Yaoyue, he himself suffered a serious injury and was knocked to the ground.

"Yunxuan!" Yaoyue rushed to his side in fear, tears glistening in her eyes, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Yun Xuan smiled slightly. Although his face was pale, he still didn't want to make Yao Yue worry. "Go quickly, don't worry about me!"

"No, I can't keep you!" Yaoyue's voice trembled, her heart filled with anxiety and fear. Her heart was broken, and she couldn't imagine the consequences of losing Yunxuan.

"Listen to me!" Yun Xuan raised his head with an effort, his eyes firm and gentle. "If we don't leave, we will all be in danger. You have to believe that I will accompany you out of here."

Yaoyue's heart felt like it was being hit hard. Every moment she spent with Yunxuan kept appearing in her mind. Those warm and happy memories made her heartbroken: "I don't want to lose you!"

"I don't want to either." Yunxuan held Yaoyue's hand, his voice as gentle as the wind, "But now we have to make a choice. Only by living can we have a future."

At that moment, Yaoyue's hesitation and fear instantly dissipated. She realized that Yunxuan's courage and determination were the driving force for her to move forward. She took a deep breath, suppressed her uneasiness, nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll take you."

Yunxuan's lips curled up slightly. Although his body was still in pain, a warmth welled up in his heart. They smiled at each other, and their mutual trust and tacit understanding once again ignited hope in their hearts.

"Let's go!" Yaoyue struggled to help Yunxuan up and began to run towards the passage, secretly praying in her heart that she could escape safely from this dangerous place.

However, the black-clad explorers did not give up and followed closely behind, desperately chasing them. Yunxuan and Yaoyue kept looking back as they ran. Seeing the enemy getting closer and closer, Yaoyue felt anxious: "We can't keep running like this!"

"I have a plan!" Yun Xuan suddenly stopped and a sly smile appeared on his face. "We can take advantage of the environment here."

"What do you think?" Yaoyue's curiosity was aroused, and she stopped and stood side by side with him.

"We can set up an obstacle so they can't catch up!" Yun Xuan quickly looked around and his eyes fell on the rocks next to him. "We just need to push these rocks down to stop them!"

Yao Yue's heart was shocked, and she quickly understood what he meant: "Okay, let's go together!"

The two worked together tacitly and quickly pushed the rock towards the entrance of the passage. The black-clad explorers were getting closer and closer, and Yaoyue's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped out of her chest.

"Hurry, hurry!" she urged anxiously.

"I know!" Beads of sweat appeared on Yunxuan's forehead as he tried hard to push down the last rock.

At the moment the rocks crashed down, the roars of the black-clad explorers echoed in their ears, but it was too late. Yunxuan and Yaoyue had successfully set up an obstacle, temporarily halting the enemy's pursuit.

"We... succeeded!" Yaoyue panted, looked back, her heart filled with relief.

"But we can't stop, let's go!" Yunxuan panted. Although his body still felt tired, the courage in his heart made him fearless.

The two continued running forward, passing through layers of trials and tests, and gradually passing through the tunnel of light. Finally, they came to a broad meadow, where the sun was shining, like the entrance to another world.

"We... succeeded?" Yaoyue stared at the scene in front of her in disbelief.

"Yes, we did it!" Yunxuan showed a rare smile on his face, and the fatigue in his heart seemed to be dispelled by the sunshine.

"But we still have to continue pursuing the ultimate taste." Yaoyue's voice was firm, and her eyes sparkled like stars.
