Everyone in the capital says that Young Master Ling Long has a temperament lighter than water.
Many young masters were anxious to curry favour with him, and many young ladies wanted to please him.
But there are many strange things in the world.
Some people try their best to get your favor, but some people can easily please you with just one sentence.
Yin Yin to Ling Long is undoubtedly such a person.
What Yin Yin said was just a simple “good morning”, and the voice was not pleasant at all. Because of the long coma and fever before, her voice was a bit hoarse, but it was like the most beautiful sound in the world in Ling Long’s ears.
Yin Yin finally…… woke up.
Ling Long’s slender fingers twisted a strand of black hair on Yin Yin’s chest, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed. He also imitated Yin Yin’s appearance. He smiled and replied, “Good morning, Yin Yin.”
The golden sunlight came in through the window with a strong warmth and precisely landed on the two of them.
*******
Miss Yin has woken up –this information quickly spread throughout the whole Spider Web, and the Spider Web’s people collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they can have a good sleep, and finally, they don’t have to face their terrifying leader!
They were moved into crying.
Jia Qing has been living in the Spider Web these days so as to observe the injuries of Yin Yin and Ling Long at any time. Now that Yin Yin woke up, he naturally needed to go to Ling Long’s room to check on her. It’s just that he doesn’t understand why the little Spider Web brother walking in front of him looked so happy?
In the end, Jia Qing came to the conclusion that Miss Yin’s popularity must be really good.
After he was done checking Yin Yin’s pulse, Jia Qing mulled over it for a while and then said, “All the remaining poison has been removed, and there is no serious harm to her body. She’s just still a little weak and needs some time to regain her strength.”
After listening to Jia Qing’s words, Ling Long finally let go of his heart completely. Jia Qing gave Yin Yin a few more medicines to nourish her body, and then said goodbye to Ling Long. Ling Long specially sent two Spider Web brothers to escort Jia Qing back to Shili Courtyard with a large box of gifts.
Jia Qing readily accepted Ling Long’s kindness.
Ling Long’s foundation is better than Yin Yin, so he recovered faster than her. Yin Yin laid down for another ten days before being approved by Ling Long to get out of bed. It was just that when she was about to move back to her original room, Ling Long refused righteously on the grounds of “Moving around is too troublesome.”
Yin Yin: “……”
So now, with my idol, I am openly…… cohabiting with him?
OMG. So shy. Yin Yin covered her face.
*******
Yin Yin hadn’t seen Helian Kong in the past few days and finally remembered to ask about him. Ling Long said he was called back to the palace by an imperial edict from the emperor.
Yin Yin pondered for a long while but this time she came up empty. She’s afraid that she’s already late.
A few more days later, Ling Long said that there were some important things to be dealt with for the Spider Web, so he left early in the morning. Yin Yin had nothing to do, but Ling Long forbade her to go out, so she moved a recliner chair to the yard to enjoy the sun.
After basking in the sun, she saw Li Li slowly walking towards this side.
Yin Yin subconsciously sat up straight because Li Li’s tight expression made her feel that there would be a serious and honest conversation coming.
“Eldest Miss, how is your recovery?” Li Li asked about Yin Yin’s physical condition first.
“Much better.” Yin Yin’s tone also became serious.
“Oh, that’s good.” Li Li said flatly.
Yin Yin sat precariously while looking at Li Li, waiting for him to say something earth-shattering.
But Li Li just stood there without even moving his lips.
Feeling that her patience was about to run out, Yin Yin who was unwilling to be left in the cold, finally asked, “Do you have anything to tell me?”
Li Li’s figure shook. Yin Yin almost thought he was going to fall to the ground, but he stabilized his figure after a second.
At last, the corners of his mouth moved, “Eldest Miss, do you know that the world is going in a cycle?”
……
The words ‘to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat’ –this is the current situation now.
Yin Yin waited for the various animals in her heart to finish running before looking a Li Li with a pale face. “This world is really going in a cycle?”
Yin Yin’s words made Li Li’s eyes shine. “Is Eldest Miss aware of it?”
“Err……” Yin Yin organized her words. “I’m just guessing.” She paused before asking again, “Will the world repeat in a cycle as long as Du Qianqian falls off a cliff?”
Ji Ting’s novel is set in this way.
Unexpectedly, Li Li shook his head and said with excitement, “No. As long as you fall off the cliff, the world will repeat in a cycle!”
With a rumbling sound, ten thousand grass mud horses of various colors galloped through Yin Yin’s heart.
This time it took a long time for her to digest what Li Li said, because it was really unscientific. She stroked her forehead and said with some headache, “Wait, let me think about it for half an hour first.”
……
She sorted out the thoughts in her mind, then looked up at Li Li and bombarded him with questions, “Let’s not talk about how bad this setting of looping is, even if everything is really going around in circles, why do you know it? Who the hell are you? A mysterious NPC? Moreover, this so-called cycle –where exactly does it start and end, and why does it cycle?”
Li Li was dumbfounded by Yin Yin’s questions. He slowly said, “I don’t know when everything has started repeating. Everyone around me didn’t feel anything unusual. I’m the only one who has the memory of every repetition that happened and this is already the thirteenth time!” Li Li’s expression was a bit distorted. “If it goes on like this, I will really go crazy!”
Things are too incredible. Yin Yin’s brain temporarily freezes.
Li Li continued, “In these thirteen cycles, you fell off the cliff every time, and each time you fall, the world will return to the day I stabbed you with a dagger.”
Hang on, hang on! This is different from what was agreed ah! Ji Ting’s setting is clearly not like this! And…… the day you stabbed me with a dagger, wasn’t it the day I transmigrated here?
Yin Yin’s heart was suddenly stuffy. She felt that something was about to come out.
Although Yin Yin was completely immersed in her thoughts, Li Li’s bitterness continued to pour out, “At first, I thought I was crazy, but after two or three times, I realized that I was not crazy, it was the world that is crazy! I was very desperate at that time. I thought that if this cycle continue like this, I might as well end myself first. However, I am not reconciled.”
Li Li took a deep breath. “So I thought, since you fell off the cliff at the end of each cycle, does it mean…… as long as you stop from falling, this cycle can be broken?”
These words finally attracted back Yin Yin’s attention. She raised her head and looked at Li Li silently.
Li Li’s next words answered almost all of the questions Yin Yin had encountered before.
“I started to think of a way to prevent you from falling off from the cliff. The best way is to tell you directly. But I don’t know why whenever I wanted to tell you, I couldn’t make a sound. After trying many times, I gave up the idea of telling you directly. But other methods are too roundabout and I have tried many of them. I even kidnapped you, but none of them can change the ending of you falling off. It’s like there’s some power in the dark, and whenever I try to change something, it will correct this change in some form.”
Yin Yin’s heart was beating fast. This feeling of suddenly learning a great secret about the world made her feel nervous and uneasy like never before.
“However, I still learned about some rules. Although I did not succeed in preventing you from falling off the cliff not even once, I found that although you fell off several times, the world did not immediately cycle back. I carefully compared the differences between these and the other times and have found their common ground –in these times, the person who helped Liu’er was you and not Du Qianqian.
Therefore, I deliberately created a friction between Liu’er and Du Qianqian, just to increase your chances of helping Liu’er. “
Suddenly there was a flash of enlightenment in Yin Yin’s mind. No, that’s not right. The point is not who helped Liu’er, but rather, she would only know Sang Ze if it was her who helped Liu’er!
She remembered the puppet doll that always appeared in her dreams, how Sang Ze gave it to her, and the Seven Star Pill that was hidden in the puppet.
If there is no Seven Star Pill, then no matter whether it was her or Ling Long who was poisoned, she would only have a dead end.
So, in fact, the trigger for the cycle was not her falling off the cliff, but her death?
A layer of cold sweat has spread behind Yin Yin’s back. “Did you put the Seven Star Pill in that puppet?”
Li Li gave her a puzzled look. “What puppet? What Seven Star Pill?”
Yin Yin frowned. If it wasn’t him, who could it be?
Only Jia Qing has a Seven Star Pill. Because of the series of things that happened, she had forgotten about it. Next time she sees Jia Qing, she have to make sure to ask him.
Yin Yin looked at Li Li again. “You just said that every time you wanted to tell me these things, you wouldn’t be able to tell them. But haven’t you said them all now?”
Li Li let out a sigh of relief from his chest. “I just wanted to try and see if the world has stopped going in circles. Now that I can tell you these things, doesn’t it mean it’s all right? After all, there has never been a time when the cycle hasn’t started after such a long interval.”
Yin Yin couldn’t remember how Li Li left afterwards. After what Li Li had said, the whole thing appears to become clearer, but it seemed to be more complicated.
Yin Yin sat in the yard for a while before returning to the room.
*******
In the afternoon, Ling Long came back early. Yin Yin came up to him curiously and asked, “Ling Long, Ling Long, what did you do outside?”
Ling Long glanced at Yin Yin, pulled her to sit down next to him and ordered someone to make a pot of tea. “It just so happens that I have something to ask you too.”
Yin Yin blinked and asked, “What is it?”
Ling Long traced the lid of the teacup in his hand and asked seemingly unintentional, “I heard Liu Yuling say that day, that you came from the future?”
Yin Yin had thousands of calculations, but did not expect that Ling Long would suddenly mention this. She falteringly said, “Hahahaha, I was just playing with Liu Yuling.”
“Oh.” Ling Long replied faintly, “But I heard Hongwei say that you and Li Li said very interesting things in the yard today.”
Yin Yin’s heart slammed to her chest, her whole body stiffened. What do I do now?!!!!
