Inside the ruins.
Bai Yan’s gaze flickered with light as she stared at the crossing bridge. “Mother, wait here for me, I’ll go test the terrain first.”
As soon as she said that, the demon queen’s figure had already sped towards the other end of the bridge where the deep dark running water of the river flowed loudly beneath their feet. Due to her fast speed, Bai Ning couldn’t catch on until the lady had already stood in the middle section.
Like the information foretold, countless black mists began to materialize into existence as soon as this was done until it devoured her entire figure. There’s something in there, countless dark hands trying to pull her into something beyond this world….
“Yan Yan!”
Bai Ning flew into shock. Wanting to save her daughter, this horrified mother didn’t think twice and reached out with her hand to grab at dark mist. Unfortunately, instead of being devoured or grabbing hold of anything, her hands instead directly passed through the mass and out through the other side.
Before long, the mist dissipated, leaving nothing but an empty bridge and a mother desperately crying out for a reply.
“Yan Yan!!!”
How did this happen?
Yun Feng situation is uncertain, and now my daughter’s disappeared too?
But why am I still standing here safe and sound?
Bai Ning clenched her lips and became a headless being that didn’t know where to go. She’s circling around the bridge for any clue, anything that she could grasp upon for help.
……
Surrounded by a white vastness after being dragged away, Bai Yan blindly strolled forward without aim at this strange world. It’s then when her mind was about to fade away, a beam of light shot into her eyes, causing the woman to shield her sight with a hand to not be blinded. In light of the difficult view, the demon queen became like a moth, being drawn towards that brightness. Eventually she could no longer see anything aside from the light. Then abruptly, a hand grabbed her by the shoulder and dragged her out from the whiteness.
“Yan Yan, wake up…” The voice sounded very familiar, and for that her heart trembled.
Without hesitation, Bai Yan shot open her eyes and took in that handsome face. There’s obvious worry in the man’s expression.
“Yan Yan, you’re finally awake…”
“I…” Bai Yan rubbed the temple as her head throbbed with pain.
Warm in his voice, Heavenly loses his urgency and smiled: “You were passed out just now. Yan Yan, how come you are here? And how did you find me?”
The woman fell into a daze as she tried to organize her head.
So I passed out earlier….
That white vastness should be my own subconsciousness then, and the light is probably Father’s voice, otherwise I wouldn’t have woken up so soon….
“Father!” Bai Yan shot her hands up and tightly hooked it around Heavenly’s neck, her face leaning in against the man’s chest. “You’re all right, thank goodness…”
Along the way, she has been worried sick about Wen Yun Feng’s wellbeing, whether he fell into danger or worse, died…. That would no doubt hurt everyone to no ends.
“Yan’er, why are you here?
