Chapter 415 Longing in Dreams
Chapter 415 Longing in Dreams
As night fell, the lights inside the tents flickered.
The dark-skinned girl sat alone in the corner, pondering the soldier's praise of Princess Qiu Ziyue.
"Qiu Ziyue..."
The black girl murmured softly, her gaze complex and profound.
She never imagined that a woman could shine so brightly in such a chaotic world.
Despite being pregnant, she persisted in training soldiers, and her one-on-one battles with archery and hand-to-hand combat experts were truly breathtaking.
Not to mention the legend that the princess could sweep away thousands of troops with just a jade flute and a pipa, which is simply unbelievable, like a myth.
When these stories reached her ears, the black girl felt an unprecedented shock and awe.
She remembered that she had a crush on Li Cunxu for a long time, but whenever she thought of Qiu Ziyue's existence...
That affection was like grains of sand scattered by the wind, with nowhere to settle.
At this moment, she finally understood that no matter how hard she tried, she could never surpass Qiu Ziyue's position in Li Cunxu's heart.
"I am ultimately just an insignificant little person."
The dark-skinned girl gave a bitter smile.
"But she's different; she's a true hero."
News came that Qiu Ziyue had been missing for several months and her whereabouts were still unknown.
Some speculate that she may have already perished, while others firmly believe that she will return.
However, for the Black girl, this is not only an unresolved history, but also an inspiration.
"If she is still alive, I will definitely ask her for advice when we meet again in the future."
The Black girl clenched her fists, her eyes gleaming with determination.
"Maybe I can't become a legendary figure like her, but at least I can make myself stronger!"
From that day on, the black girl began to practice martial arts even more diligently.
She imitated Qiu Ziyue's story and tried to convey information using the sound of the xiao (a type of vertical bamboo flute).
They used music to boost morale and even tried to incorporate music into the battle.
Nevertheless, the Black woman maintained a humble attitude throughout.
She knew that her achievements were nothing compared to Qiu Ziyue's.
But that's precisely why she longs to get closer to that unattainable goal.
Meanwhile, news about Qiu Ziyue remains shrouded in mystery.
Some people say they saw a woman in a red robe holding a jade flute at the border, who looked very much like Qiu Ziyue;
Some also claim that a jewel-encrusted lute was found in a remote mountain cave, possibly belonging to the princess.
The dark-skinned girl observed all of this silently, but did not act rashly.
She believes that if Qiu Ziyue is really still alive, she will one day reappear in front of the world in her own way.
Qiu Ziyue's disappearance left many people confused, but the most worried was her husband, Qi Yuxuan.
In the stillness of the night, Qi Yuxuan sat alone in the courtyard, the moonlight shining on his face, revealing the lingering sorrow between his handsome brows.
These days, he has been immersed in all sorts of strange and suffocating dreams every night.
And the theme of each dream is inseparable from one person—Qiu Ziyue.
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as he was pushed into the abyss of longing.
Qiu Ziyue's name gradually faded from his memory like a piercing needle.
When he awoke with a start, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his chest heaved violently, as if it had all really happened.
In his first dream, he saw Qiu Ziyue wearing a red wedding dress, standing in the wedding hall with that young man, bowing to heaven and earth.
They smiled broadly, their eyes filled with love for each other.
He stood in the corner like an outsider, ignored by everyone.
What pained him even more was that Qiu Ziyue seemed to have completely forgotten him, and even referred to him as "husband" in front of others.
Qi Yuxuan tried to rush forward and question her about why she was so heartless, but his body seemed to be bound by an invisible force, and he could not move.
When he woke up again, his vision was already blurred by tears.
In his second dream, he dreamt that Qiu Ziyue suddenly disappeared, and in her place, he returned to the modern world.
He searched everywhere for her, only to find her standing in the crowd holding two adorable children.
Those are Minglan and Jingyun!
However, when he approached, Qiu Ziyue turned away and left, and no matter how he called out to her, she did not turn back.
This time, he woke up crying from his dream, a strong longing welling up inside him—
He wants to go back to the modern world; he wants to see the children!
In his third dream, he saw Qiu Ziyue lying on the bed, on the verge of death.
Qiu Ziyue pressured him to marry another rich girl, claiming it was for his happiness.
Qi Yuxuan struggled desperately to wake Qiu Ziyue, but no matter how he called out, she did not respond.
Several nights of nightmares left Qi Yuxuan exhausted, but deep down he had a feeling that these dreams were not entirely meaningless.
Perhaps they are hinting at something?
Perhaps Qiu Ziyue really is in trouble, or perhaps... she really has returned to the modern world?
Thinking of this, Qi Yuxuan stood up and looked up at the starry sky.
He knew that Qiu Ziyue was an extremely responsible person.
If she had a choice, she would never have abandoned him and their child.
Therefore, the only explanation is that she cannot come back.
"But where is she?"
Qi Yuxuan muttered to himself, his voice filled with endless loss and helplessness.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it a fallen leaf.
Qi Yuxuan looked down and found it was a yellowed note with a few familiar words written on it:
"Wait for me, I will come back."
This short sentence was like a ray of light in the darkness, rekindling Qi Yuxuan's hope.
He gripped the note tightly, his eyes gleaming with determination.
"Qiu Ziyue, no matter where you are, I will find you!"
After saying that, he quickly went inside and began searching for any possible useful clues.
But no matter how hard he searched, he couldn't find it. Frustrated, he shouted:
"Twilight Sparkle, where are you?"
"Young Valley Master, Young Valley Master"
With a call, Qi Yuxuan opened his eyes.
"Young Master, are you missing your mistress again?" Yun Feiyang called out to him with a smile.
"Yes," Qi Yuxuan gently washed his face and wiped away the sweat.
"Young Master, don't worry too much. The young mistress is such a smart person, she will surely be blessed with good fortune," Yun Feiyang comforted her.
"Feiyang, where did she go? She's a perfectly healthy person."
"I don't know either, but I believe the truth will eventually come out."
The night was deep and dark, and Qi Yuxuan tossed and turned in bed.
"If only I could ask Tao Ling'er..."
He muttered to himself, then suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Yes! Why not try calling her? Maybe she knows something."
Qi Yuxuan quickly got up, put on his clothes, and hurried to the next room to wake Leng Feng.
"Brother Leng, there's something I need your help with."
He kept his voice very low, afraid of disturbing others.
Leng Feng rubbed his sleepy eyes, but immediately woke up when he saw Qi Yuxuan's serious expression.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
“I suspect Tao Ling’er might know something about Zi Yue, and I want to try to call her out and ask her about it.”
Qi Yuxuan briefly explained his thoughts and added,
"You should know some Five Elements Shield spells, right? Help me set one up."
Leng Feng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but quickly nodded in agreement.
"Yes, but this approach carries considerable risk."
"We can't worry about that now, time is of the essence!" Qi Yuxuan said firmly.
