In a hazy state, I felt a warm sensation on my cheek. What was that? I wanted to open my eyes, but I felt powerless, as if all strength had drained from my body. 0
 
“Master Jin,” a voice echoed, as if coming from the distant sky. 0
 
I opened my eyes and suddenly realized I was in an isolated world, shrouded in darkness. It must be that Little White had pulled me into its mental realm again. 0
 
I wandered around for a bit and, not seeing it, I impatiently called out, “Come out.” 0
 
“Heh heh, you really have no patience at all,” a silver-haired handsome man suddenly emerged from the corner. 0
 
I stared at him in shock. “Who are you?” 0
 
He grinned mischievously. “Master Jin, have you forgotten me so soon? I’m Little White.” 0
 
“Little White?” Robe exclaimed in disbelief. “Goodness, Little White, what happened to you? You look like this now!” 0
 
“Don’t you like handsome men? I've gained enough experience in the human world to take on human form. I appeared based on your dreams,” he said, seemingly hurt by my reaction. 0
 
I frowned. “I’m only interested in real handsome men.” 0
 
His beautiful face fell. “You’re bullying me.” 0
 
I shot him a cold glance. I wasn’t used to him taking human form; he was much cuter when he was just a fluffy white ball. “What’s so important that you called me here? You seem quite free. If there’s nothing else, I’m going back.” 0
 
Seeing me stand up, his brows furrowed in concern. After a moment of hesitation, he finally sighed and said, “You’re going to die.” 0
 
I froze in place. 0
 
I’m going to die? 0
 
Turning back to look at him, I said with a hint of self-mockery, “So you brought me here to spare me some pain?” 0
 
He looked at me with a pained expression, shaking his head and nodding at the same time before finally saying, “I won’t let you die. No, they won’t let you die either.” 0
 
I lowered my head and smiled lightly, remaining silent. 0
 
 
He abruptly said, "You guessed right. After you left, he sent over one eye and the Wujie Flower. Originally, An Yijun was adamant about not using it, but they had no choice. After returning the medicine, another eye was sent over. His servant said that if An Yijun didn't accept it, the second eye would be delivered the next day. An Yijun stubbornly refused because of your willfulness and was reprimanded by Azure Thorn. They all understood that it was you who made him willingly send it." 0
 
I stood there in a daze; he really did send it. 0
 
I recalled his splendid red attire and his despair as he willingly faced death, feeling a bit lost. Just then, another figure appeared in my mind. 0
 
"Have you remembered him?" Xiao Bai's tone was strange, almost reproachful. 0
 
I snapped back to reality, gazing at him in confusion. "Remember who?" 0
 
He pressed his thin lips together and said softly, "Didn't I mention I would bring you someone?" 0
 
"That Ugly Servant!" I exclaimed in shock, "Could he be him?" 0
 
"Hmph, you can still tell." He seemed to be angry with me. 0
 
I looked at him seriously and asked earnestly, "Who exactly is he? Have I forgotten something? He said I am his wife; is that true?" 0
 
He gazed deeply into my eyes, then suddenly shook his head before nodding again. 0
 
His expression was sorrowful as he spoke in a low voice, "Those things you must remember on your own. Although we share the same body, I cannot do too much; otherwise, I would face divine retribution. I just want to remind you to follow your heart; otherwise, one day you will miss out and regret it." 0
 
I truly did not understand the deeper meaning behind his words. 0
 
Perhaps someone else would understand better. 0
 
Xiao Bai suddenly looked strange, gazing at me with a sorrowful Gaze as I stood there in a daze. I found it odd but didn’t think much of it. 0
 
Suddenly, his sorrowful expression flickered away, replaced by a somewhat playful calmness as he quietly said, "There was a man who destroyed his vocal cords for the woman he loved and took a pill that caused excruciating pain to gain a new grotesque face to save her. He knew she had forgotten him; he knew his power was too small to achieve anything, yet he still went ahead. But the woman he loved truly forgot him; she couldn’t remember him at all. Still, he smiled warmly at her from the side as she went on with her life. For him, it no longer mattered whether she returned to him; what mattered was that she was alive and living well." Xiao Bai looked at me as he spoke. 0
 
My expression turned blank; my eyes lost focus. Without realizing it, tears had already streamed down my cheeks. The tears flowed from my eyes like a faucet without a shut-off valve. I curiously touched my warm cheeks; how strange it was that my heart felt so painful and sorrowful while tears flowed freely from my body. 0
 
I looked at him and softly asked, "Is that person An Yijun's father?" 0
 
 
Bai remained silent. Suddenly, he closed his eyes and softly said, "I'm leaving. You can't die; you must live well. Someone is calling for you, so hurry back." 0
 
"Hey..." I called out to him, but he didn't turn around and vanished in an instant. 0
 
It was a strange feeling; he seemed like Bai, yet also not. It felt as if I were speaking to two different people. That sorrowful gaze pierced my heart. 0
 
I felt so sad. 0
 
"Mom... you've been crying. Did something bad happen in the dream?" An Yijun's delicate and melodious voice suddenly appeared in my ear. I then felt someone wiping my cheek. Could it be that the tears from my dream were also flowing in reality? I closed my eyes and suddenly found myself back in darkness. My whole body lacked strength; I wanted to respond to her, but my mouth wouldn't open. I wanted to open my eyes to see her, but they felt glued shut. 0
 
Had her curse been lifted? 0
 
The voice in my ear was still An Yijun's flowing and pleasant tone: "Mom, don't worry. I'm not worried at all, and I'm not scared either. I know you'll definitely wake up." Her voice was a bit choked, but she still tried to suppress that feeling and calmly continued, "When I lay alone in the relay station room, I wasn't afraid either. I'm not afraid of death, but I know you will save me. I've always had faith in you, Mom. No matter what happens, I'll be strong because I'm An Jin's daughter, a legendary daughter of this continent. So I've always worked hard; I don't want to disappoint you or bring shame upon you. I've done well, right?" As she spoke, she suddenly laughed softly. However, I felt warmth on my cheek. 0
 
She really resembled me; even when crying, she smiled through her tears. Just as strong. 0
 
At that moment, Azure Thorn's voice suddenly rang out beside me: "Young Master, don't worry. I will definitely save you. No matter what it takes, I will save you." 0
