I thought there would be a miracle. Isnt there always that final day, that final mont where the main protagonist proves his victory when everybody is in despair? You know, where the epic music is played and the main protagonist has a fla in his eyes? Isnt there also the plot where the main female protagonist is the only person who understands him, and they fall deeply in love at first sight? That only happens in movies, though. I transmigrated, but I still hadnt seen such a scene out of a fiction story.
Three days had gone by. The ocean was still peaceful as though the wyrm had disappeared, yet as though it never existed. There wasnt a single wave. It was so peaceful that it was suspicious.
We couldnt continue waiting any longer, Ying and Xia understood that. We had to leave after the third day. They could return to the island later if they wanted, but I had to leave no matter what. I knew what Mom was thinking. She agreed to their request, but the reality was that you needed ti and money to travel from the North to the island; there was no way Ying and Xia could earn enough, even in an entire lifeti, to return to the island. Therefore, it was impossible for them to return once they left. I didnt want to tell them, because I was still slightly worried and scared.
Niers words stuck with ; it was similar to choking on a fish bone. I had to protect my family and wanted to go ho to see my girls. I wanted to be by Ling Yues side to witness my childs birth. It was good news the wyrm didnt show itself the last three days, for the reason that we could peacefully return ho and I wouldnt feel as though I missed anything.
It wasnt bad to have a peaceful trip ho. I promised Nier I wouldnt let them et with danger, so I wouldnt pursue hot-headed emotions in the future. The main reason I protected Ying and Xia, was because I saw my forr self in Ying. I determinedly protected Ying, rescued Xia in the middle of the night and even planned to go and challenge the wyrm, because I had lingering feelings for my forr self, but also felt a tinge of reluctance. In the end, my perspective changed; there was nothing bad about a peaceful trip.
Though I couldnt achieve my previous goal, Nier and Lucia had so fun on the island. They couldnt swim, since they didnt have their swimwear. We strolled along the sandy shore and went exploring in the forest. It wasnt as leisurely as what we originally planned; nevertheless, I guess we did get to have so fun on a small island. Sadly, I didnt find what I was after.
Wasnt I supposed to co across so secluded reverend or so ancient artefact on a desolate island that would allow to reach the pinnacle of life? Why didnt I find it? I didnt even see a second village, let alone a cheat weapon. I couldnt believe there were only so many people on a small island.
Besides more trees than I could count, there was virtually nothing in the forest. The forest spread across the entire island. However, according to what Lucia said, the forests were very barren. There was nothing useful. There wasnt much that could be used. The trees were also useless. The forest was the most ordinary type of forest. It might be useful for making paper in the future, but that was the future.
The villagers didnt have any maps of the ocean, either. I intended to form a navy that could travel long distances to carefully explore the island. It might beco a place where my navy would be able to replenish supplies and whatnot. Then, I needed to find a good place to construct my overseas villa. Then, Id take my family to visit the island annually for a vacation in sumr. I think there was a decent idea. Although the island didnt have nice scenery nor was it comfortable, it had the potential to beco a nice place. If I wanted to do that, though, I needed to locate the wyrm and slay it.
Those were future plans; the priority was to leave. I went through a lot on the trip. The wyrm attacked . I t Ying and Xia, and then spent so ti on the island with my wives and moms. The trip wasnt for nothing in the end. At the very least, I got to see the island. There might be other islands around. The culture on the island couldnt possibly have been invented by a few agre people.
I knocked and then pulled the door open. I saw Ying and Xia. They were done preparing and were sitting to one side silently. I said, Lets go.
Ying nodded: The wyrm didnt appear?
No.
Ying stood up: I guess that is sothing to be grateful for in a sense. After all, we will be able to get there in peace this way. Xia will also be able to have a blissful life, I guess. Life here isnt suited to her. If your nation is a peaceful nation without war as you said, then that place would be the place suited for Xia.
As long as I have you, Sister, I am fine with anywhere, said Xia.
From behind Ying, Xia used the floor as support to try and sit up with all her might. I walked over and gently carried Xia up. She leaned my chest and didnt say anything. However, she wore a tender smile. A gentle smile finally appeared on Yings straight face. With a smile, she said, Xia seems to really like you.
Xia placed a hand on my chest. In a sincere tone, she responded, Thats because, while I cannot see Misters face, I can tell he is very gentle, for his chest is very warm. He holds just as gently as you do, Sister. He could rescue , was willing to protect you and is willing to give us a ho. Sister, we are truly very fortunate to have t him.
I, on the other hand, think Ive given you both quite a lot of trouble, I said.
If were talking about the process, I would agree, remarked Ying. She walked up to ; however, her line of sight wasnt on but Xia. She gently stoked Xias hair and tenderly said, I need to acknowledge that I really want to have Xia again. I was so afraid when Xia was by my side, as I was afraid of losing her again. Xia is my sister. I really want to see her and be by her side.
I passed Xia to Ying. Ying dallied for a mont before taking Xia. Xia leaned into her sisters arms and silently smiled. I turned around and softly said, Hurry up and co to the harbour, then. Ill be heading over, first.
Ying nodded: All right.
Just as I arrived at the door, I suddenly heard, Thank you.
I stopped at the door. It was the sa scene as when I was lying on the ground, watching Ying leave from behind and thanking her. re days had passed, yet our roles were reversed. Nonetheless, I believed she was smiling as I was at the door. It wasnt a big smile, and I wasnt emotionally excited. It was just a satisfying feeling and felt very warming as though we shouldve done everything we did before, but it was actually just for a thank you.
You dont need to thank , I opened the door and gave her the sa response that she gave back then.
