The Kingdom of Hiran has regained its former peace, the palace has also calmed down, and everything is as usual.

But the life in the palace was boring and unchanging, which was really boring for Yi Ning.

After Yong Ming escaped from the magic book, he fulfilled his promise and began to arrange for some people to search for the "door" and related clues.

But so many days have passed and no useful news has been delivered.

It's approaching evening.

At the dimly lit window, a girl with long hair combed high and wearing a gorgeous tutu was lying on the table with a swollen face.

A small group of light and shadow curled up beside the straight nose bones, rendering the outline of her face soft and beautiful.

The slightly curved eyelashes blinked, and the bright eyes pondered for a while, then turned serious: "Great maternal love can shake or even reverse destiny - is this the answer?"

She was talking to herself in the air.

From the attitude of the little guards who stood under the window and peeked upwards, it could be seen that they obviously thought she was a rather weird witch.

The girl glanced at it but didn't care, and began to talk to herself again: "Then...could it be that a person must resist temptation and not go astray?"

The girl held up her cheeks and turned her dark eyes in confusion: "Or, raising children must be low-key and don't hold a grand party?"

"Oh~ Thinking from the source, it must be not to marry a king!"

"No, don't marry a man!"

"..."

The air still ignored her.

There was no sudden burst of fireworks, telling her, congratulations on getting the answer right.

"Oh." Yi Ning put her chin on the back of her hand and sighed deeply, "What is the answer? I hate the Riddler."

After a moment of silence, Yi Ning suddenly straightened up again and said, "Crow Crow."

The big bird, which had been standing silently next to the table, looking like a dark sculpture, turned its head and said, "What are you doing?"

Yi Ning said worriedly: "Beyond the misty forest, it is said that there is a huge continent. If we don't know the answer and can't find the 'door' here, do we have to go to that continent?"

Crow said lazily: "Maybe."

Yi Ning glanced at him and complained, "Why don't you care at all?"

"No matter where you go, I will be with you."

The crow replied naturally.

The room was quiet for a moment, and when Crow finally realized that there was something wrong with what he said - Yi Ning relaxed and smiled thoughtfully, "That's right."

"Crow Crow, you are right!" She put the big black bird into her arms and ruffled some of its warm and soft feathers.

"Dong dong dong——" While the two were quarreling, the door was knocked several times.

The crow turned into black smoke and dissipated. Yi Ning sat upright and said, "Please come in."

It's Yong Ming.

Seeing him coming to find her in person, Yi Ning cheered up: "How is it? Did you find the 'door'?"

Yong Ming paused slightly, "...No."

"Okay." Yi Ning asked, "What's the matter?"

Yong Ming said that today is the Chaorong Festival, a traditional festival of the Xilan Kingdom, so he invited her to go outside the palace with him.

Yi Ning was so idle that she almost got moldy, so she agreed without hesitation after hearing this.

"What is the Chaorong Festival celebrated for?" Yi Ning asked curiously on the way out of the palace.

"Nothing. It is a festival full of blessings. It was originally intended to wish the kingdom prosperity; later it can also be used to wish yourself, your family, your friends...including your lover, etc., all your wishes will come true. You can make any wish."

It is said that it can make all good wishes come true.

Yong Ming glanced at Yi Ning subconsciously.

"Wow." Yi Ning was very surprised to hear this, "But...if we two leave the palace, will it affect their celebration?"

The two of them are so tall that they are a bit out of place with the little people in the kingdom.

"There is a Mirror Lake Bay in the royal capital. There are not many people there. We can go for a stroll."

"Row!"

The streets of the kingdom were as bustling and lively as when they first met. The densely packed little people consciously separated into a wide road, and enthusiastic shouts and blessings could be heard endlessly. Of course, most of the blessings were directed at the king, Yi Ningzhan. Yong Ming's light can also be touched a lot.

This time Yong Ming finally stopped riding in the sedan chair and walked with her on the street, occasionally smiling and nodding back at the people.

The chants reached a higher decibel level.

The guards had no choice but to step up the interception to allow them to reach their destination smoothly.

"By the way. Before leaving, the great elder of the Elf clan said that your father is still alive and well, and you have three or four more brothers... Do you, do you want to go out and have a look?" Yi Ning didn't hold back. Out of curiosity, I asked the question that had been lingering in my mind for a long time.

If Yong Ming really appears in the "Xilan" kingdom outside, he will probably scare those people to death, right?

In front of Jinghu Lake, Yong Ming shook his head calmly, "No."

He now has a lonely and peaceful temperament, which is completely different from before.

"The fairy tale kingdom is also very good. There are not so many disputes and desires, only purity." Yong Ming looked at the vast mirror lake not far away that reflected the gorgeous glow, "I will guard them here until the end of my life."

As he spoke, his breath became a little unsteady, and he subconsciously pressed his heart, but soon put his hand down as if nothing had happened.

"What's wrong?" Yi Ning asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Yong Ming coughed, "Maybe I caught a cold at night. I always feel like coughing recently."

The sky turned dark, and the two people who had been strolling by the lake for a long time embarked on their way back to the palace.

"There are a lot of colorful lanterns hanging in the market. You can go around and take a look later." Yong Ming said.

Yi Ning was strangely silent.

The few words of voice transmission that only she could hear seemed to still be echoing in her ears... Yi Ning raised her eyes with a complicated expression and asked directly: "Yong Ming, have you found the 'door' long ago?"

Yong Ming was stunned.

There is the frustration of finally being exposed, and there is also a hint of sadness and unwillingness.

In the dark night, he pursed his thin lips slightly, stared at the ground with his lowered eyes, and did not answer.

"You don't want to cough, you just have a pain in your heart, right? Is it because of the backlash of the contract?"

Ya Ya just told her that the contract they asked Yong Ming to sign before was true. The content of the agreement was that Yong Ming would do his best to help Yi Ning find the "door", and he must inform Yi Ning immediately after finding it.

Once the contract is breached, the heart will be tightly bound by invisible chains from time to time, and the heart will suffer from unbearable angina during the attack.

Seeing that he was just silent, Yi Ning knew the answer.

She frowned slightly and asked, "When did you start hiding it from me? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yi Ning didn't see Yong Ming very often these days. She tried to think about it for a long time and felt that the heart attack was so painful that he probably wouldn't be able to bear it for long. "Is it today?"

"No." Yong Ming finally said.

He tilted his head and looked at Yi Ning, with a forced smile on his face: "That door is actually very conspicuous. The day I woke up from the magic book, as soon as I sent people down, some people reported the news. I I even went to see it with my own eyes, it’s not far outside the royal city.”

Yi Ning was shocked.

It's all...

How many days have passed...

"Why don't you tell me?!" Yi Ning couldn't believe it.

Yong Ming was silent for a few seconds and smiled bitterly, "I don't want to keep hiding it from you. I know that you and I are not the same people and I can't keep you."

"I, I just... selfishly, hope you stay with me for a few more days."

Yi Ning's lips moved, she had something to say, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.

The breeze blew gently across the bay, and everything was quiet except for the chirping of insects.

"I'll take you to see it tomorrow." Yong Ming said, "Let's go."

The moonlight slanted and lengthened the shadows of the two men.

Speechless all the way.
