Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 272: Waking up From a Dream
Ling'er turned sideways and rested her head on Yun Che's arm. She looked at the moonlight shining through the gaps in the green bamboo above with a hazy look. After a long time, she said softly: "If I can sleep in the bamboo forest and under the moon, it must be a very beautiful thing."
Yun Che looked up, smiled lightly, and pushed his palm. With a "bang", a large enough hole appeared on the top of the bamboo above, and a full moon appeared completely in Ling'er's sight. A large amount of moonlight also took the opportunity to pour down, illuminating every corner of the bamboo house.
"Wow!" Su Ling'er exclaimed, looking at the full moon in the sky, feeling the breath from the man beside her, she experienced a feeling that even her heart was drunk for the first time.
"Brother Yun Che, can I really be your wife like my beautiful sister and be with you forever?" Ling'er asked infatuatedly. Now she still doesn't quite understand what love between men and women is, but she is very simple and strong, and likes and desires to be with him.
Yun Che held her little hand and said softly: "Of course! Your father has betrothed you to me in front of so many people. When I come back one day and Ling'er grows up, we can get married and be together forever..."
Su Ling'er smiled at first, then realized something and grabbed Yun Che's arm: "Wait for you... to come back? Brother Yun Che, you... you want to leave?"
This is an illusion created by the evil god's soul. Yun Che is not unfamiliar with illusions. The places he went to in the Phoenix Trial and the Dragon God Trial were all illusions. People who appear in the illusion will not know that they are just an illusion. However, the illusion is an illusion after all. He can only stay here for twelve hours. After he leaves, everything here will disappear.
Feeling the panic in Su Ling'er's voice, his heart choked and he said, "Ling'er, I don't belong here. My home is far, far away. Although I don't want to leave, I have to go back, and I have to leave tomorrow... But don't worry, Ling'er, when you grow up, I will definitely come back... I will come back to marry you, and then take you away and stay with you forever... OK?"
These are all lies that cannot be fulfilled, because after the twelve hours, everything will disappear. Whether it is the former Su Ling'er or the current Su Ling'er, it is impossible for them to appear in his world again. But his promise comes from the soul, without any falsehood. If Su Ling'er is still in this world, then, even if it costs a huge price, he will definitely fulfill it and never let her wait for him bitterly again.
The night suddenly became very quiet, the moonlight was no longer dazzling, and even the intoxicating night wind seemed to disappear. When the message that Yun Che would leave tomorrow and would be gone for a long time entered Su Ling'er's heart, she found that everything she was enjoying quietly turned into reluctance and sadness... She and her father had come to this bamboo forest many times. Every time, she would be happy, but not as happy as tonight. What she liked most was not the bamboo forest, but the person who was watching the bamboo forest with her now...
Su Ling'er fell on Yun Che's body. She did not cry. She closed her eyes tightly and said softly like a dream: "Brother Yun Che... You will definitely come back. I will be good and grow up obediently. I will wait for you to come back and marry me. No matter how long it takes, I will wait... Until you come back and marry me..."
This kind of infatuated words from a ten-year-old girl, although naive and innocent, is more touching than the emotional words of an adult woman, because the words of a young girl will not have a trace of falsehood, affectation and deliberateness, only the purest and most innocent emotions, voices and desires.

The next day, when Yun Che carried Su Ling'er back to Tai Su Gate, it was already noon. In terms of time, there was only less than half an hour left before the twelve hours mentioned by the evil spirit.
They fell asleep in each other's arms last night. In the early morning, before dawn, Yun Che carried her up Tai Su Mountain to watch the sunrise together and eat game from Tai Su Mountain together. They left many voices and footprints on Tai Su Mountain... Just like that, time was approaching unknowingly.
"Che'er, are you really not considering staying for a few more days? Ling'er can't bear to leave you at all."
Looking at Su Ling'er lying on Yun Che's back and refusing to get down, Su Hengshan smiled helplessly. He was naturally grateful to Yun Che and Xia Qingyue, but before he had time to entertain them, they came to say goodbye.
"I really want to stay, but I really have a reason to leave. Please forgive me, father-in-law..." He looked back at the girl on his back and said in a voice as calm as possible: "I can't bear to leave Ling'er either."
Su Hengshan nodded. He had already determined that Yun Che and Xia Qingyue must be disciples from a holy land-level sect. Even though he had the title of "father-in-law", he didn't dare to interfere with their actions and decisions. He looked at his daughter who was quietly lying on Yun Che's back, holding his neck tightly with both hands, sighed, and said: "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes..."
"Let Ling'er take my place and see you off."
Su Ling'er was the only one who saw Yun Che and Xia Qingyue off, because Su Hengshan knew that Yun Che only cared about Ling'er, and even if he saw her off in person, it would be redundant.
After leaving Tai Su Sect, Su Ling'er accompanied Yun Che and walked a long way, until they could no longer see the outline of Tai Su Sect. Twelve hours had passed, and the countdown had finally arrived.
Su Ling'er held Yun Che's hand tightly and smiled sweetly along the way, without showing any sign of sadness. When he arrived here, Yun Che's footsteps stopped, and he said softly: "Ling'er, just send it here. If you go further, I will worry about your safety on the way back."
Su Ling'er didn't resist at all. She nodded and said with a smile: "Yes! I listen to brother Yun Che, you and your beautiful sister must be careful on the road... Well, brother Yun Che, can you give me something... ...the same thing...that can make me feel that Brother Yun Che is always by my side..."
While she was smiling...a tear that she couldn't control slipped out of the corner of her eye, leaving a long water mark on her young face.
Yun Che's heart trembled, and then he was immediately filled with unspeakable sourness. He knelt down, gently took off Su Ling'er's coat, then took off the dragon scale armor from his body, and put it on in Xia Qingyue's surprised eyes. When worn on her body, the dragon scale armor will adjust itself according to the wearer's body shape. Even though Su Ling'er's body is very petite, it still fits well: "Ling'er, this piece of clothing is called the dragon scale armor. It can be used very well. To protect you, you must always wear it, just like I am by your side to protect you.”
Taking off the extremely precious dragon scale armor and giving it to Su Ling'er in the fantasy world seemed extremely ridiculous, but Yun Che couldn't control it at all... because this was the best he could give her after leaving Su Ling'er. guard.
He took out a purple space ring and transferred all the food and drinking water stored in the Sky Poison Pearl into it. He also took out various elixirs that he usually refined and put them into it, and taught them one by one. Looking at her: "These are small Huitian Pills. Use them when you are injured... These are Qinglu Pills. If you are accidentally poisoned, just eat one... These are Huixuan Pills. Eat one when you have no strength..." ...In the future, if...I mean if one day you have to leave your home and are constantly exposed to danger, you must remember the things here. You must use the things here to protect yourself. Okay..."
Su Ling'er listened to his words and kept nodding her head, nodding again...
Yun Che did not put this space ring on Su Ling'er's hand because it would be too easy for others to stare at. After all, a purple ring with huge capacity and lifespan is considered a very valuable treasure even in the Taisu Clan. He threaded golden silk through the ring, and then hung it around Su Ling'er's neck, letting the purple-red space ring sink under her clothes.
Tears were dripping down from Su Ling'er's eyes, and every tear dropped into the deepest part of Yun Che's soul. He held Ling'er in his arms and said softly: "Ling'er, don't be sad. We are not separated forever. When you grow up, I will come back... come back to marry you! So, you have to be happy. Growing up happily, when I came back, I saw the most beautiful Ling'er... If you encounter any difficulties in the future, don't be afraid or despair, and always remember that there is a person in this world Even when I can't see you, I will always think of you and care about you..."
"Hmm...Yeah!!" Su Ling'er nodded vigorously, trying her best to suppress her cries. Her thin teeth had already deeply bitten her small red lips, leaving a row of teeth marks...
Time began to come to an end. Yun Che let go of Su Ling'er, held her face in his hands, kissed her gently on the forehead, then turned around, gritted his teeth, and walked forward step by step... Su Ling'er's sight is getting farther and farther...
Su Ling'er did not chase after him. She held her hands in front of her chest and hugged the dragon scale armor that came from Yun Che and still had his aura. She stared blankly at his retreating figure in her blurred vision. Finally, she could no longer hold back her tears, and her shouts and cries echoed across the empty land...
"Brother Yun Che! I'm waiting for you...I'm waiting for you to come back and marry me..."
"Brother Yun Che, if you miss me... you must miss me... you can't miss me..."
"Brother Yun Che... I will grow up quickly... you must come back... you must... you must... you must come back..."
"Brother Yun Che... I can't bear to let you go... Wuwu... Wuwuwu..."
Yun Che's figure became farther and farther away, and finally at a certain moment, he completely disappeared from her sight. She slowly squatted on the ground, covered her cheeks, and burst into tears... Her brother Yun Che was gone, and even her soul was taken away with him...
Su Ling'er's shouting reached Yun Che's ears along with the sound of the wind, making every step he took extremely difficult. His expression was painful, but he did not dare to look back because he was afraid that if he turned back, he would never be able to take another step. Move your feet.
"It's very strange between you two." Looking at Yun Che's expression, Xia Qingyue said softly. She couldn't understand why an adult man and a ten-year-old girl could develop such strong feelings in just one day.
Yun Che raised his head and looked at the sky: "Qingyue, do you believe...the past and present life?"
Xia Qingyue was slightly startled. She looked at Yun Che silently for a while, then nodded lightly: "I believe it."
At this time, ripples of spatial distortion suddenly appeared around him and Xia Qingyue.
"I'm finally going back." Yun Che closed his eyes and whispered softly: "Goodbye... my Ling'er..."
While murmuring, he and Xia Qingyue's figures disappeared in the twisted space at the same time. Then, the feeling of space shuttle came, and disappeared in an instant. In an instant, a cold wind blew in his face.
He opened his eyes, and there was snow in front of him, a white snow... He and Xia Qingyue had returned to the Tianchi Secret Realm, but their location was not above the Tianchi.
"Hu..." Yun Che let out a long sigh of relief. Although it was just an illusion, Su Ling'er in her teenage years was just an illusion constructed by the power of the evil god, but even so, the separation from Su Ling'er still made his chest feel heavy and almost exploded.
"No matter how beautiful the dream is, there will always be a time to wake up." Yun Che looked ahead and said melancholy. Then, he sank back to consciousness and said to Jasmine: "Jasmine, why did the spirit of the evil god use its last strength to send me such an illusion? Could it be that after reading my memory, it helped me to resolve some regrets of mine?"
"Illusion?" Jasmine's voice came: "So, you always thought that the world you stayed in for a day before was just an illusion?"
"...Of course it was an illusion." Yun Che said weakly. If it wasn't an illusion, how could Su Ling'er, who had long passed away, appear, or Su Ling'er in her teenage years.
"Hey..." Jasmine suddenly laughed strangely, as if she had discovered something interesting. She said slowly: "So that's why, no wonder your emotions and behavior are so abnormal, you actually regarded that place as an illusion... But, I can tell you responsibly that the world you were in before was definitely... not... an... illusion!!"
