So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

"It's them!"

Chu Yu tugged at the man's sleeve, her face filled with grief and urgency.

Jingyin reached out and gently stroked her back, his voice warm and deep: "Sweetheart, speak slowly, who is it?"

The little girl's almond-shaped eyes, brimming with tears, flashed with a hint of hesitation, but then became firm as she stared into his eyes, "They were the people who came to the Shen family that day."

She didn't know if it was the same group of people.

But Jingyin will definitely understand what she means by saying that.

As a survivor of that tragedy, her ability to sense the same danger would not arouse suspicion.

As expected, Jing Yin's expression instantly turned fierce upon hearing this, and the shadow guards in the shadows immediately went on alert.

He gently comforted the uneasy little girl in his arms: "Chuchu, be good, your brother is here, don't be afraid."

The regent acted on a whim, and he was indeed unaware of it beforehand, but he was not entirely unprepared.

If he were alone here today, he would be absolutely certain of escaping unscathed, and might even be able to capture a few people to take back as witnesses.

But the little girl is still here.

He could risk everything without hesitation, but he would never allow her to be in any danger, not even the slightest possibility.

"His Majesty."

Shadow One's voice rang out from the doorway.

"Come in."

Ying opened the door and came to the two of them, reporting in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are indeed assassins lying in ambush in the nearby woods. They are the Regent's henchmen, about twenty in number."

More than twenty people.

Jing Yin frowned. This trip was different from previous years. He had increased the defenses considerably. Apart from Shadow Three and Shadow Four, who were stationed at the border camps year-round, all the other Shadow Cloud Eighteen Guards who were on missions outside had been recalled.

As the date for the plan's implementation approaches, he needs to be even more cautious.

His doting affection for Chu Yu was blatantly obvious to the world, and those with ulterior motives would surely try every means to exploit his weakness.

Noticing the little one in his arms tense up and trembling slightly, Jingyin felt a pang of heartache.

"Chuchu, it's okay, do you believe your brother?"

The little girl nodded firmly, "Yes!"

"Okay, then no matter what happens later, Chuchu, stay obediently in the carriage, okay?"

This imperial carriage has been specially reinforced and is impervious to swords and spears from all sides. Chu Yu is absolutely safe hiding here.

However, the little girl was not relieved after hearing his words; instead, she became even more anxious, clutching his clothes and asking, "Where's my brother?!"

Their ultimate target was him; even if they wanted to harm her, it was ultimately for Jing Yin's sake that he would surrender.

The man's words just now meant that she should stay here and he would go out and handle everything himself.

In an instant, those memories that had been buried deep in her heart for many years rushed towards her like a giant wave.

The sound of swords piercing flesh.

Cries of despair.

And the footsteps of the men in black that appeared countless times in her nightmares...

……

"Chu Chu!!"

Chu Yu's last conscious thought before falling into a coma was the man's urgent shouts.

The moment the girl's frail body slumped limply in his arms, Jingyin completely panicked.

"Go and bring the female healer here!"

After yelling that at Yingyi, he got up and gently placed the girl in his arms on the bed.

Although he was unaware of what happened today, he had taken adequate precautions.

So when he first learned the truth, he was only nervous for a moment because the little girl was there.

He is confident that he can handle all the current crises.

But no one expected that she would suddenly be stimulated and fall into a coma.

He could never remain calm and composed when it came to her.

Jingyin half-squatted by the bed, holding Chu Yu's slightly cool hand tightly, his hand trembling uncontrollably.

Even his voice became hoarse: "Chuchu, please don't scare your brother, okay?"

He rambled on and on by the bedside, seemingly without realizing it, whether he was trying to comfort her or himself.

Lin Qingyue quickly arrived with Yingyi, but before she could even bow, Jingyin called her to the bedside to take her pulse.

Thunder rumbled in the mountains, and rolling dark clouds swept across the entire sky.

A suffocatingly low pressure filled the air, as if something was brewing.

Outside the imperial carriage, the shadow guards were already holding their breath, ready for battle.

Suddenly, the woods became eerily quiet; all the birdsong and cicada chirping vanished.

The next second, dozens of men in black, wielding long swords, flew in from all directions in the imperial chariot procession.

The shadow guards launched a counterattack.

Inside the imperial carriage, Lin Qingyue had just given Chu Yu acupuncture to calm her nerves.

She heard the sounds of fighting outside the car, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, the young emperor in front of them spoke in a deep voice: "You stay here and take good care of Her Highness the Princess. Don't worry about anything else."

Apart from Chu Yu, Jing Yin never showed any kindness to anyone, let alone comforted them.

That almost reassuring remark was already shocking enough.

Lin Qingyue was so surprised that she forgot to answer, and even doubted the meaning behind his words.

Jingyin originally intended to go out and take charge of the overall situation, which is why he instructed Lin Qingyue to take good care of Chuyu here.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not! Your precious health is invaluable; how can you risk such a danger?!"

Yingyi's voice also pulled Lin Qingyue back to her senses, and she looked at Jingyin beside her in surprise.

The man's gaze remained fixed on the sleeping girl on the bed.

The sounds of fighting outside the car were incessant.

Jingyin could tell from their voices that their chances of winning were extremely high; they were practically guaranteed victory.

He gently brushed his long eyelashes together and whispered, "Shadow One."

"Shadow One is here."

"Go, and remember to leave one alive."

"Shadow One obeys!"

……

Chu Yu felt like she had a very long dream.

The dream was very chaotic.

She dreamt of the scene from the original world where she jumped off a building, and she saw herself falling rapidly through the air.

……

The scene changes.

She returned to the Shen family mansion five years ago, back to the night of the massacre.

She didn't see any bloody scenes when she first transmigrated.

This time, it was as if she were seeing her mother being brutally murdered before her eyes, her blood flowing all the way to the closet where she was hiding, all through the original owner's perspective...

……

"don't want!!"

[Host, are you alright?]

Chu Yu struggled to escape from the nightmare, only to find herself in a vast, white void.

?

Where is she?

Little Milk Cake's worried voice rang out again:

[Host, this is the space of the Main God System. Your consciousness was just devoured and controlled by the original owner's emotions. I had no choice but to ask the Main God for help to extract your soul.]

If her consciousness is allowed to be overwhelmed by the original owner's grief, it will affect or even harm her physical body.

Upon learning of this, the Supreme God did not hesitate to rescue its host and even granted her permission to recuperate in the Supreme God Space.

This is Little Milk Cake's first time visiting the Main God Space.

Chu Yu was still a little confused after emerging from the dream.

[What does this mean? What happened? Wasn't I doing a quest in the small world? I failed!?]

She remembered what happened before she fell into a coma, but why didn't she return to that little world after she woke up?

Could it be that the mission failed and I was sent back to the system?
