His heartbreaking cry made even listeners weep. From that moment, he lived only for revenge. His handsome face never showed a genuine smile again. Sisi had taken his happiness, leaving him with only hatred and an empty shell of a body. Avenging Sisi and his unborn son became his sole reason for living.
After sleepless investigation, Hu Yannan discovered the culprits were assassins sent by the Crown Prince of Manyi Nation. He prepared to lead troops in retaliation but was stopped by an imperial decree. The current Emperor, hearing of Hu Yannan’s loss in An City, believed Manyi Nation was most suspicious. To prevent war and protect citizens, he issued an order: General Hu Yannan was forbidden from attacking Manyi Nation and could only defend An City from external threats.
“Imperial commands cannot be disobeyed,” Hu Yannan reluctantly withdrew his attack plans. He remained stationed in An City, watching Manyi Nation vigilantly, waiting for the opportunity to completely destroy them and avenge his wife and child.
After breakfast, Dan Xiaoya called Shen Zhonglei to her room. She looked at Shen Zhonglei and said solemnly, “There’s something I need to explain to you.”
Shen Zhonglei nodded. “Go ahead!”
“We don’t belong here, we belong to another place. We arrived here inexplicably.”
“It’s okay, we’ll return eventually.”
“I hope so too, but I must tell you. We don’t belong to this time and space, but to another. When the earthquake happened, we jumped into the crevice, and when we woke up, we were on that grassland. We need to find a way back. Let’s go to that grassland today and investigate.”
Shen Zhonglei frowned in confusion. “What do you mean by time and space?”
Shan Xiaoya struggled to explain to Shen Zhonglei how they arrived here. After numerous questions, Shen Zhonglei finally believed her words. He said firmly, “I don’t like it here. We must find a way back.”
The two arrived at the grassland where they had awakened. They could see the pale stone protruding from the center of the grassland. Shan Xiaoya and Shen Zhonglei circled the stone but found nothing unusual. But why did they cross over? Shan Xiaoya frowned, looking into the distance.
Suddenly, a dark unidentified object caught Shan Xiaoya’s attention. Without thinking, she ran towards the mysterious object. Shen Zhonglei followed.
