Lonely Heart Prequel

Chapter 5

"But I don't want to leave this village, and my grandmother. I'm already used to living here, so why did you choose me? Why did I have to listen to you?" Ying Xue said in an unfair tone. He didn't even dream of such a thing. Everything was like a fantasy, making people feel as if they were in a dream.

"This is the mission, and it can also be said to be providence. Maybe you don't belong to this world, just like you released me from the sealed space. Everything has been doomed and you and I can't avoid it. If you don't go, you will face a devastating disaster. If you don't believe, you can wait and see." Ling said helplessly to Ying Xue.

"This... I need to go back and discuss this with Grandma. How should I tell Grandma about this matter? What should I do? I don't know what to do, I really don't know what to do." Ying Xue was still there, but when he heard that the old man in front of him was going to send him to another planet, Ying Xue realized the seriousness of the matter. He ignored Ling and ran back without any ideas.

"Ai, is it right or wrong for me to make such a decision? This is really too reluctant for him. Ah! Let Heaven decide!" Ling looked at Ying Xue's back, nodded and shook his head, and said to himself.

Ying Xue returned home with worries. She had been thinking about it for a day and didn't know what to do. In the evening, she carried the bamboo basket to her mother-in-law and went back home with the medicine basket.

"Hey! Eagle, why don't you cook? What are you thinking about? You are so fascinated." Ying Xue shook her hard to wake him up.

"Oh! Grandma is back. Why is it getting dark so soon? I'm going to cook now. You take a break first, grandma!" After saying that, Ying Xue went to the kitchen to cook.

Alas, Shui Shui didn't choose. When she saw Shui, Ying Xue thought of what the old man named Ling had said in Erlang Cave. Was it true? Was she in a dream?

"Child, what exactly are you thinking about? Why are you so confused today? Let me do it." Grandma was a little suspicious of Ying Xue's abnormal behavior today. "Are you worrying about the tuition fee this year? You don't have to worry about it. Grandma is about to have enough money. If you put in so much effort into studying, Grandma will even provide for you to go to school even if you sell your house." Grandma thought that Ying Xue was worrying about the tuition fees.

"Grandmother, I..." Ying Xue didn't know how to explain this matter to her grandmother. It would be better if she didn't say anything else, so that she wouldn't worry about it, Ying Xue thought to herself.

After the meal, they went to sleep. Ying Xue was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but she could not fall asleep. What happened in the daytime had always puzzled him. He really wanted this to never happen. It was just like a nightmare. Everything had passed away, but as the old man called Ling said, everything had been destined and was not up to you.

At midnight, all of a sudden, all the dogs, chickens, pigs and other animals in the village were stirred. Snakes, mice, ants and other small animals began to flee everywhere. Ying Xue turned on the lamp, rushed out of the door, and listened carefully. The animals in the mountains made sad cries. However, it was different from usual, and there was a panic in their voices.

"Is there really an earthquake?" Just as Ying Xue was thinking about this, the earth suddenly shook. All the people in the village woke up in horror. They didn't know what had happened, but they all felt that a great catastrophe was coming. The children's crying and the sad cries of animals combined together, which was a miserable scene.

"Little Ying'er, where are you?" Looking at her mother-in-law, she got up and found that Ying Xue had disappeared. She shouted anxiously.

"I'm outside the house, grandma," replied Ying Xue.

"Go back to the house, come in." At this time, the home was the warmest harbor for people. Although it was not safe to hide in the house, there was a sense of security in people's hearts.

When Ying Xue returned to her room and sat down with her grandmother, the ground regained its calm. The cries of the various animals and the cries of the village children slowly died down.

Ying Xue felt relieved. Suddenly, a light flashed in front of her. Another person appeared in front of them, almost making her mother-in-law faint.

"Who are you?" Mother-in-law Xiang asked in horror. If someone suddenly appeared in front of her in the middle of the night, she would be scared to death. What's more, if it was a disaster, she would think that it was a ghost!

"Old man, don't be afraid. I mean no harm. I just want to talk to you." It was Ling.

"Why have you come to my house?" Ying Xue asked. It was as if she had a premonition in her heart.

"Child, I really don't have any time left. My energy is about to be exhausted. Of course, I can postpone the time for the earthquake to happen. I can use the ultimate seal, but I don't know when it will erupt in the future. If you don't go, you've already seen all of the consequences just now. You should quickly make your decision." Ling seemed to be a bit hurried as she spoke.

"So you two know each other. What are you talking about? Where do you want my little Ying'er to go?" Although Granny Xiang didn't understand what they were talking about, she knew that this strange old man seemed to be asking Ying Xue to go somewhere.

"Grandma, I don't know how to tell you about this, but an earthquake is going to break out in this place. If we don't stop it, people in our village and at the foot of the mountain will suffer!" Ying Xue didn't know what to say.

The earthquake, in Granny Xiang's heart, she had no awareness of it at all. Her ancestors all lived here, and everything was peaceful. She had never heard of any news about the earthquake, but the earthquake just now seemed to make people believe it was true.

"Why do you want my little Ying'er to go there? Are you trying to do something?" Granny Xu rushed in front of Ying Xue, as if she was afraid that this stranger would take her grandson away.

"That's right, old man. I have some things that I'm hiding from you. Let me tell you the truth. I'm afraid that I've already forgotten about this energy transfer field in the Empty Sky Spirit Realm. However, this energy field is still working. After all, it's already been over a hundred thousand years, and I don't know what's happening in the Empty Sky Spirit Realm. Therefore, you must go to the Empty Sky Spirit Realm to close it, or exchange it for another planet," Ling said somewhat despondently. He was also a person who had been forgotten.

"What is it? I don't know anything. I won't let little Ying'er go there. It must be very dangerous." She said firmly with deep affection to the woman.

"Grandmother, I must go. For grandmother, and for the sake of the village that has been taking care of our uncle and aunt, I must go." Ying Xue finally made up her mind. If the earthquake had really happened, it would have been too late to turn it around. Even though Ying Xue didn't want to part with her grandmother and the people in the village, for them, she had to go to the Empty Sky Spirit Realm that Ling had mentioned.

At this moment, the ground trembled again. "No good!" Ling cried out. "You guys come with me. You'll understand now." Ling Xiao anxiously said to his grandmother. Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, she cried out, "Spirit." The three of them disappeared from the room.

Back in Erlang Cave, the fire hole was much bigger than what Ying Xue had seen before. Ling hurried over and tried to suppress it. Granny Yin and Ying Xue were stunned to see what was happening. It was unbelievable, but now it was happening.

At this time, the Chinese earthquake inspection bureau also received the earthquake wave. "Report, we are monitoring the earthquake wave in the west. There may be a large-scale volcanic eruption of an earthquake of the eighth level of the Li Family." The staff on duty received the message and went into an emergency alert state, ready to report the earthquake immediately.

"Eh, something's wrong. Why did it disappear again? Is there something wrong with the instrument? There won't be an earthquake there." The observer said doubtfully, but he immediately reported the strange phenomenon that had just appeared. The on-duty was also confused by the monitor. However, he canceled the action of preparing to issue information.

"Child, you have to make a decision." Ling turned her head and said tiredly.

"Grandma, I have to go. If I don't go, everything here will be destroyed. I can't be too selfish, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy." Although Ying Xue looked determined, she was reluctant to leave in front of her grandmother.

"Little Ying'er, if you leave, what will granny do? Who will I rely on in the future? You are my lifeblood." Grandma couldn't bear to part with him.

"Grandma, don't worry. Once I'm done, I'll come back. It'll be fine." Ying Xue consoled her grandmother.

"Child." Granny Xiang didn't know what to say. She could sense that the place Ying Xue was heading to this time would definitely be filled with danger.

"Old man, you don't have to worry. This time, Ying Xue only went to close the energy transfer gate. Although it is a little difficult, it is not a very dangerous thing. You don't have to worry about it." Ling consoled her mother-in-law.

"It's all because of you. If you didn't appear in our family, such a thing wouldn't have happened at all. Who knows what you're up to?" Granny Xiang angrily said to Ling. Although she knew that Ying Xue's decision was right, she felt helpless. It was as if all of this was destined and she couldn't avoid it. After listening to it, she couldn't say anything and could only shake her head helplessly.

"Grandma, don't be like this. This old woman used her life to exchange for our peace. It seems that she doesn't have any bad intentions. Besides, I can return by closing the door of energy transfer. It's just a small matter. Grandma, you don't have to worry about it." Ying Xue tried to comfort her grandmother, trying to make her feel at ease.

"Well, little Ying'er, since you have made up your mind, I don't want to stop you. Be careful, child." Grandma Xiang seemed to have suddenly thought it through and said with a determined expression.

"Okay, grandma." Seeing that her grandma had agreed, Ying Xue felt more at ease.

"Well, I'm going to start the ultimate seal and open the door of time and space at the same time. I'll cover you with the shield of light all over your body. It won't take long before you reach the spiritual realm. I don't know what happened in the spiritual realm for hundreds of thousands of years. You have to be careful when you go there. Although you're already a superman on the earth, you should learn everything when you arrive at the spiritual realm because you're just an ordinary person and you don't have any ability to fight high-level people. You should follow my words and find the 'Star God'. He'll understand when he sees the 'Star God'. He'll tell you everything and even teach you. You're also my direct disciple. Although I feel guilty when I didn't teach you anything, you're the one who woke me up from the spatial seal. These things should have happened 50 years later, but they have to be done by others. If you hadn't been there, they would have been done by others. This is undeniable fact. If I hadn't shown up, you would have lived happily, but what could I say about all this?" Ling said sadly. He knew that he had reached the end of his life, which was also the last words of Ying Xue.
