A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

The cool moonlight seemed to cover the earth with a layer of silver frost. People who had been busy all day began to spontaneously organize reconstruction work. The air was filled with the smell of dust and a faint fragrance of herbs.

Looking at the bustling scene before her, Ye Shuli felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

“What a lovely group of people,” she said softly, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Jiang Ye stood beside her, arms crossed behind his head, looking nonchalant, but his eyes were full of pride.

"Of course, look who protected them," Jiang Ye said with a chuckle, not forgetting to take credit.

Ye Shuli rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "You? You're lucky if you don't cause me any trouble."

"Hey! Li'er, what are you saying? I put in a lot of effort, you know?" Jiang Ye was unhappy and jumped up and down to argue.

Seeing his expression, Ye Shuli couldn't help but laugh out loud, and her mood lightened up.

She knew that having Jiang Ye by her side always helped her forget her troubles.

"By the way, Li'er, do you think we're destined to exist for more than just monster-fighting?" Jiang Ye suddenly asked seriously, his tone filled with earnestness.

Ye Shuli was taken aback; she hadn't expected Jiang Ye to suddenly ask this question.

Looking at the busy crowd and the hope shining in their eyes, a sense of responsibility welled up in her heart.

"Perhaps, perhaps our existence is to bring them hope, to protect this beautiful thing," Ye Shuli said softly.

"Then let's protect them together from now on!" Jiang Ye clenched his fist and said with great enthusiasm.

Ye Shuli looked at him, her heart filled with emotion.

She knew that Jiang Ye truly wanted to protect these people and protect this world.

As night fell, the two sat side by side on the mountaintop, overlooking the entire town.

After a busy day, the town has regained some of its vitality, with twinkling lights in the night sky like scattered jewels.

"It's so beautiful," Ye Shuli exclaimed.

"Yes, she's beautiful," Jiang Ye said softly, his gaze remaining fixed on Ye Shuli's face.

“Li’er…” Jiang Ye suddenly spoke, his tone hesitant.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ye Shuli turned her head and looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely serious.

"If one day you really find a way back... would you leave?" He asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

Ye Shuli fell silent; she hadn't expected Jiang Ye to ask that question.

She knew that she had traveled from another world and that one day she might return to her original world.

But now, she has fallen in love with this world, with the people here, and... with this fool beside her.

"I..." Ye Shuli opened her mouth, but didn't know how to answer.

Jiang Ye looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

Time seemed to stand still, with only a gentle breeze ruffling their hair.

After a long silence, Ye Shuli finally spoke, her voice firm: "No, this is my home. Home is wherever you are."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye's face lit up with a bright smile. He hugged Ye Shuli tightly and said excitedly, "I knew it! I knew you wouldn't leave me!"

Ye Shuli gently patted his back, a happy smile appearing on her lips.

The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's warmth.

At this moment, their bond deepened, and their feelings became even stronger.

The next morning, a dazzling light pierced the sky, turning the entire sky gold.

"This is..." Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye looked up at the sky in shock.

Several fragments fell from the sky, streaking across the sky like shooting stars, and landed in different directions on the continent.

These fragments emanated powerful energy fluctuations, sending a chill down one's spine.

"It's a fragment of destiny!" Ye Shuli exclaimed.

"Fragments of Destiny? What are those?" Jiang Ye asked in confusion.

"It's a fragment of the power of destiny. Although it lacks a main consciousness, it still carries great power and may trigger a new disaster," Ye Shuli explained.

"Then what do we do? We can't just stand by and watch them harm people, can we?" Jiang Ye said, frowning.

“Of course not, we must stop them,” Ye Shuli said firmly.

“Alright, let’s split up and head to a different location where the debris fell,” Jiang Ye suggested.

"Yes, that's good. This way, we can solve the problem more quickly." Ye Shuli nodded.

After discussing it, the two decided to split up.

Ye Shuli went to the southern desert region, while Jiang Ye went to the northern ice plains.

"Be careful," Jiang Ye instructed before parting.

"Don't worry, I will, and so will you," Ye Shuli said with a smile.

The two said their goodbyes with reluctance, and then each set off towards their own destination.

Ye Shuli sped along and soon arrived at the southern desert region.

Looking around, it was a desolate place, with not a blade of grass growing.

"This place..." Ye Shuli frowned, sensing something was wrong.

She continued walking and soon discovered what had once been an oasis.

But now, this place has become a dead zone; all the plants have withered, and the air is filled with the smell of death.

"It seems that the fragments of fate have fallen here," Ye Shuli thought to herself.

She carefully observed the surrounding terrain and discovered that the land had been eroded by the power of fate, and the water sources had been polluted.

"We must restore the vitality of this place as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect the surrounding ecological environment," Ye Shuli thought to herself.

She began to use her modern knowledge to analyze terrain changes and search for water sources.

At the same time, she also used mystical powers to transform the water source structure and purify the polluted land.

After much effort, Ye Shuli finally succeeded in restoring a small oasis.

Although the area is not large, it is enough for the surrounding creatures to survive.

Soon after, some displaced nomadic tribes arrived here, and when they saw this oasis, they cheered with joy.

"Thank you, God! Thank you, God, for giving us this oasis!" They knelt on the ground, bowing and worshipping Ye Shuli.

Ye Shuli looked at them, her heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.

She knew that everything she did was worth it.

"Please don't stand on ceremony, everyone. This is just what I should do," Ye Shuli said with a smile.

She helped the nomadic tribes settle here, teaching them to grow crops and raise livestock.

Soon, it transformed into a vibrant little village.

Ye Shuli lived here for a while, and she won everyone's respect with her wisdom.

But she did not forget her mission.

However, she did not reveal the true source of her power.

That day, Ye Shuli was patrolling the village as usual when suddenly she saw a black crack appear in the distant sky, emanating an unsettling aura.

Ye Shuli was startled; she knew that new trouble was about to begin...

She stopped and looked up at the black crack. She could feel a powerful force surging out of it, a force that made her heart pound.

She didn't know what kind of disaster this force would bring.

"It seems the peaceful days are coming to an end," Ye Shuli murmured to herself, her eyes becoming incredibly determined.

She took a deep breath and then walked toward the village.

She knew she had to prepare herself as soon as possible to meet the challenges to come.

"Perhaps I should go and see that old man." She thought of someone, a mysterious old man who lived in seclusion deep in the desert.

Perhaps he knows something...

Jiang Ye's situation was truly a case of extremes, like being in both ice and fire.

The biting wind stung his face, and he wrapped his animal-skin coat tighter around himself, muttering to himself, "This godforsaken place isn't even a bird's feather in sight. I hope Li'er doesn't catch a cold!"

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and the snow beneath our feet fell in a flurry.

In the distance, a group of blood-red, bloated monsters were charging toward a small village.

"Damn it, we've really messed up!" Jiang Ye cursed under his breath. These magical beasts were clearly affected by the power of fate and had mutated to the point of losing their minds.

He quickly launched into a rant: "Good heavens, your after-sales service is terrible! You've thrown fragments everywhere, and you even included a Warcraft bundle? Thumbs down!"

Despite his complaints, Jiang Ye's hands were still busy.

He ran quickly toward the village, observing the terrain as he went.

The snow-covered plains are crisscrossed with ravines, making it a good place to set up an ambush.

"Since you want to play, I'll play along!" Jiang Ye's lips curled into a wicked smile as he began to devise his tactics.

He first used his spiritual power to set up several traps on the path that the monsters were bound to take, and then dug several pits in the snow, filling them with sharpened pieces of wood.

"Welcome to the IQ Basin!" Jiang Ye clapped his hands smugly, thinking, "A bunch of brainless idiots like you will definitely rush in!"

As expected, the monsters charged around recklessly, completely unaware of the traps in the snow.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several muffled thuds were heard as several magical beasts stepped directly into the trap and had their bodies pierced by sharp pieces of wood.

"Wow, what a great start!" Jiang Ye whistled, then formed a hand seal, sending streams of spiritual energy flying towards the horde of demonic beasts.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The spiritual energy arrows accurately struck the monsters' eyes, throats, and other vital points, causing them to fall to the ground with cries of agony.

However, there were simply too many monsters, and traps and magical arrows could only temporarily halt their attack.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, knowing that the real test had arrived.

"It's time to show your true skills!" he roared, charging into the horde of monsters, his figure weaving through them like a ghost.

He would sometimes leap into the air and kick a monster away; at other times he would duck and dodge, avoiding the monster's claws.

"Awooo!" A monstrous beast opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye remained calm, dodging the attack with a sidestep, and then slammed a punch into the monster's chin.

"Crack!" The monster's jaw was smashed open, and it let out a painful howl.

Jiang Ye pressed his advantage, kicking the monster in the stomach again, sending it flying.

After a fierce battle, Jiang Ye finally defeated all the magical beasts.

He stood panting on the snow, his body covered in the blood of monsters, looking utterly disheveled.

"Phew, I'm exhausted!" He plopped down on the ground, pulled out his water bottle, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

At this moment, the villagers rushed out of the village. They saw Jiang Ye covered in blood.

"Hero! You are our hero!" An old man excitedly grasped Jiang Ye's hand and said, "If it weren't for you, our village would be finished!"

"It's nothing, it's a small matter." Jiang Ye waved his hand and said modestly, "It's just a matter of helping those in need."

The villagers warmly invited Jiang Ye to stay in the village and become their guardian.

Jiang Ye thought for a moment and politely declined, saying, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I have more important things to do."

After completing the task, Jiang Ye immediately took out a communication talisman and sent a message to Ye Shuli: "Li'er, I've done it. See you at the Central Temple!"

Just as he was about to set off for the central temple, a familiar feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

This aura didn't belong to this world, yet it felt strangely familiar to him.

He suddenly looked up and gazed into the distance.

There, a faint light was flickering, and within that light seemed to lie a great secret.

“This aura…” Jiang Ye murmured to himself, his eyes becoming incredibly sharp.

He knew that this aura was related to Ye Shuli's time travel, and perhaps an even greater mystery was slowly emerging.

He did not act immediately, but stood quietly in place, waiting for Ye Shuli's response.

He believed that Ye Shuli must have sensed this aura as well.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the air seemed to freeze.

Suddenly, the communication talisman lit up, and Ye Shuli's voice came through: "Jiang Ye, wait for me, I think I've discovered something too..."
