Chapter 268 The Day of Farewell Will Always Come
"Yue Yin, I have been here with you for a while now. I feel very happy to be with you during this time. During this time, I feel like I have walked into a fairyland as poetic as a painting, and I have made a close friend like you who I can talk to. However, it is time for me to leave. I am afraid that Xiao Chuhan will worry about me. After all, we have been out for a long time, and it is time to return to Chu. He is the emperor of Chu, and Chu needs him, not to accompany me outside all the time."
"You are quite considerate of him." Yue Yin said with a smile.
"Now that I know the answer I want, there is no reason for me to continue to escape and not return to Chu. I understand that Xiao Chuhan, as the emperor of Chu, shoulders the responsibility of the entire country. I can't let him accompany me abroad all the time because of my own selfish desires. Now I can face everything calmly, and no matter what my ending will be, I will accept it."
"During this period of time, you never asked me about what your ending in this future will be. Don't you want to know?" Yue Yin asked curiously.
Lan Xi shook her head: "Just like you said, what does it matter if I know the ending in advance? That kind of life is not what I pursue. Although I can no longer return to my world, I believe that I can live a wonderful life here. At least here, I don't have to live in darkness all the time, don't you think?"
Yue Yin nodded in agreement: "I am really happy that you think so. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you can always come to me."
Lan Xi took Yue Yin's hand, looked at her firmly and said, "Yue Yin, if you have the chance, you must come to Chu State. The scenery there is also beautiful. Chu State has rippling rivers, bustling markets, mountains and plains full of flowers and picturesque sunsets. You will definitely like Chu State."
Lan Xi seemed to remember something and continued, "When the time comes, I will take you around the State of Chu. Don't always trap yourself here. You should go out and see how beautiful this world is."
Yue Yin nodded, showing a gentle smile, and said: "Okay, I promise you. After I settle everything here, I will bring Li'er to Chu to find you."
After hearing this, Lan Xi was filled with joy and anticipation. She knew that Yue Yin would definitely come to find her. The friendship between them was like that peaceful lake, clear and deep.
On the other side, Xiao Chuhan found Yue Li. He stared at Yue Li with a serious face: "You must know where Lan Xi is! It's been so long, why hasn't your mother sent You'er back? Tell me quickly, where are they?" Xiao Chuhan's voice revealed anxiety and worry.
Yueli sighed helplessly and replied: "Of course I know. But I can't tell you. Because, except my mother, no one knows that place. Even I can't enter." Yueli's voice revealed helplessness and sadness.
Xiao Chuhan frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "Should we just wait like this? No! I want to go find them myself!"
Yue Li looked at Xiao Chuhan, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes. She knew that this was not a solution. Lan Xi had been out for too long, and it was time for her to come back. So Yue Li decided not to refuse Xiao Chuhan anymore.
"Okay, I can take you to find them. But, only my mother can take us into that place." Yue Li said in a firm tone.
"But..." Yue Li's voice revealed a hint of hesitation. Her bright eyes stared at Xiao Chuhan and she said seriously, "You can't bring anyone else. Only you and I can go."
Xiao Chuhan's thick eyebrows were furrowed, and the lines on his face became firm and decisive. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head, looked at Yue Li with a firm gaze, and put forward a condition: "I can promise you not to bring other people, but you must bring Xingye. With Xingye's strength, if you encounter danger, Xingye can protect you and take you away first."
Yue Li lowered her eyes slightly after hearing what Xiao Chuhan said, as if she had made some kind of decision deep in her heart. After a moment, she raised her head, her eyes flashing with complex emotions, but she finally nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yue Li turned and walked forward. They quickly followed Yue Li's steps and stepped into this mysterious forbidden land together.
Xiao Chuhan and his group soon arrived at the edge of the forest outside the forbidden area. The forest was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, as if it were a mysterious world. As they went deeper into the forest, the smell of poisonous gas became thicker and thicker, as if it was an invisible pressure that made people breathless.
"How about it? Do you believe me now? This is a forbidden area. Mother never lets me get close to it, and it's even harder to get in. The fog you see is not ordinary fog at all, but poisonous gas. If mother doesn't clear the poisonous gas, we can't come back once we go in. Many people have tried to break into this forest, but they all died without a complete body. There are also ferocious beasts in here."
Xiao Chuhan also felt that the poisonous gas in here was very strong. It seemed that this place was not easy to enter.
Xiao Chuhan looked at Yue Li: "Is there no way you can contact your mother?"
Yue Li shook her head: "I have no way. Unless my mother comes to find me herself, I can't contact my mother." Yue Li's voice was filled with helplessness and frustration. Yue Li also tried her best, but she was powerless.
