"Give her to me." The prisoner repeated these words again.
No, don't hurt everyone.
I don't know if it was the overwhelming despair in my eyes at that moment, but I vaguely saw the prisoner's sorrowful eyes filled with reluctance.
"No, leave." I weakly tugged at Silver Moon's hem, unwilling to part.
"Xi Meng, you are forcing me," the prisoner said.
I shook my head gently. If possible, let me go, prisoner. This time, I would rather be an unfaithful descendant.
"Fine, then let them all die—"
...
Darkness remained darkness, filled with wails, screams, pain, and desperate howls.
Then, the entire world fell silent again.
I am so tired; I feel like I can no longer get up. I just want to sleep forever.
When all the truths were revealed once more, I suddenly couldn't see my path. Once, I believed in him so much.
"Xi Meng, Xi Meng..."
It was Silver Moon; yes, it was Moon's voice.
Damn it, why can't I speak?!
Moon, where are you? Why can't I see you?
No, I don't want to be alone; I don't want to leave you, Moon!
"Xi Meng, come back..."
Go back? Back where? Where are you? Am I there? How could this happen?!
"Xi Meng, I'm waiting for you."
Ah—!
I'm about to go crazy, Yue!
...
"Don't go, Yue!"
...Can I speak now?
Where is this—
Home? I’m back home?! Yes, it's my bedroom, my bed, everything is so familiar, and terrifyingly—real.
No, I can't leave the Underworld, I want to go back!
I stumbled out of bed and got up, ignoring the pain in my body as I rushed toward the door.
"Useless, you can't go back."
I froze; it was him.
"Why, why do this?" I realized my voice sounded hoarse and unpleasant.
"Listen, good child, you don't belong there." Qiu knelt on one knee, lifting my chin with his right hand. His sincere gaze seemed to regard me as a treasure, smiling beautifully.
This is the first time I felt we were so close, yet so far apart.
What exactly has changed...
"You don't need to pretend to be a good person anymore." I shook off his hand and said word by word, "It was a mistake for our ancestors to choose Xi Family as the Guardian Deity."
Qiu seemed completely taken aback by my words, frozen in place.
"You demon clan, you've deceived everyone!" I lowered my head, unable to stop my shoulders from shaking as I choked out, "And I hate you."
"Are these words truly what you feel inside?" Qiu's voice was very soft, almost carried away by the wind. Unfortunately, the night was too quiet and my heart too empty; I had no choice but to listen as if it were ringing in my ears.
"That's right, you are the first person I despise so much." I looked firmly at the prisoner.
Seeing his injured expression made my heart tremble. No, I would never soften for someone like him again. Thinking about everything he had done, a sudden sense of revenge surged within me.
"I didn't expect you to hate me so much."
"You have no idea how much more there is." I ripped off the necklace from my neck, the one that connected us, and threw it harshly out of the half-open window without a trace of reluctance.
"I never want to see you again."
With that, I returned to my bed.
I was tired and needed to rest. Perhaps all of this was just a dream; when I woke up, I would still be the carefree Xi Meng that no one knew.
But for some reason, my tears kept flowing, soaking the pillow.
There were some people I couldn't forget, some things still ached in my heart, some images remained so clear, and some voices lingered in my ears.
And I knew.
I couldn't go back...
This sleep felt like an eternity.
"Little Dream, don't just stay at home all weekend; go out and take a walk."
...Yes, Mom.
I watched as the bedroom door opened, and that incredibly familiar face made my eyes sting again.
"Oh my God, Little Dream, what's wrong? You look so pale."
"I'm fine; I'm just feeling a bit unwell."
"Quickly change your clothes; I'll take you to the hospital right now."
"No need, I just want to sleep a little longer. I stayed up late last night." I curled up under the blanket and said sullenly.
"Are you really okay?"
"Yes, it's fine."
"Alright, I'm at home today. Let me know if you're not feeling well."
"Okay."
……
Everything fell silent again.
I got out of bed and stood by the window, unaccustomed to the sunlight outside. The stinging sensation reminded me once more that I was back.
I pulled the curtains shut with all my might!
The room instantly darkened...
I sighed and returned to bed, staring at the wall with my eyes wide open.
Time passed slowly, and I could no longer bear it!
No, I have to find a way to go back!
