Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 284 Luo Lingchen's Thoughts

In the distant Nanyue Kingdom, Luo Lingchen was shrouded in the dark bad news three months after Shen Li's accident.

At that time, the secret agents he had planted in Beichen Kingdom, who were always keeping an eye on Shen Li, were like sensitive birds. As soon as the news first came out, they passed on the information that County Lady Fuxi had been assassinated and her life or death was uncertain to his ears as quickly as possible.

At this moment, Luo Lingchen sat alone in the silent room, his fingers gently stroking the bamboo tube.

The bamboo tube was accidentally crushed due to shock when he heard the bad news about Shen Li, and then he carefully glued it back together with a heart full of cherishment and guilt.

Deep in his eyes, there was a complex flow of emotions. His longing surged like the tide, the pain was like thorns wrapped around his heart, and the confusion was like a veil covering his eyes.

Unconsciously, the message from Beichen echoed in his mind again. He gently stroked the ugly girl on the bamboo tube, his lips slightly moving as he whispered softly: "Three years have passed, Shen Li, why are you still sleeping? That smart, playful, lively and clever girl in the past is now twelve years old..."

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, outlining a bitter arc. That smile was like withered petals, full of self-mockery and helplessness.

"Shen Li, have you already returned to that distant 21st century? Have you already left me in this strange and cruel corner of the world? How could you be so heartless?"

His voice trembled slightly, as if he was asking a weak question to Shen Li, who was far away and whose life or death was unknown.

After a moment's silence, he slowly raised his head and looked at the dimly lit ceiling, trying his best to suppress the tears that were about to burst out.

With a slight sob in his throat, he whispered, "Shen Li, it seems I have to break my promise. I once promised not to initiate a war, but now, I really can't bear the torment of being thousands of miles away from you, and I can't stand not knowing your safety.

If I can't bring you back, I will definitely bring you back to Nanyue Kingdom, even if it means starting a war. We come from the same world, don't we?

You are destined to be with me, even if you never wake up again. This is the red thread of fate, and no one can cut it off..."

As he spoke, his laughter echoed faintly in the empty room, but there was no trace of joy in that laughter. Only endless desolation and loneliness passed through this small space like a cold wind.

Looking back on the past few years, Luo Lingchen's heart was like a pot of five flavors overturned, with all kinds of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors surging in his heart.

He used to be just a kind-hearted and law-abiding boy, his heart full of beautiful visions and hopes for the future. He lived cautiously and carefully in this strange world, like a new bud in spring, fresh and fragile, with expectations for sunshine and rain.

However, the wheel of fate turned mercilessly, and from the moment Shen Li encountered the accident, his world was turned upside down.

In order to find a foothold in this treacherous and dangerous world, and to have the power to protect Shen Li one day, he was forced to embark on a thorny road full of blood and killing.

As time goes by, his hands are now stained with blood for the sake of power. The glaring crimson seems to have been deeply imprinted in his life, and no matter how he wipes, he cannot erase the mottled marks.

He was like a lonely traveler, struggling forward in this dark and boundless world.

Every step you take feels like you are stepping on blood and sharp blades. If you make a slight mistake, your skin will be cut by the sharp blades and blood will flow.

But his eyes were shining with tenacity and determination. Although the road ahead was full of thorns and dangers, like being in a dangerous shoal shrouded in fog, the persistent belief in his heart had never wavered in the slightest.

Because deep in his soul, there is always a blazing flame burning, which is to find Shen Li, hold her tightly in his arms, and bring her back to his side. That is the brightest sunshine left in his heart by this lonely and alien world.

Even if it means making enemies with the whole world, even if it costs his life, he will do it.

At this time, he didn't know that he would change his original intention because of other things in the future.
