Chapter 265 Her Story (6)

"After this, you...will have Li'er..."

"Well, Li'er was born a year later. I was pregnant for ten months and went through a lot of hardships. Finally, after a severe labor pain, Li'er came into this world. I poured all my love into her. In the days after Li'er was born, I held her, coaxed her, told her stories, and played games with her. She is the light of my life and the center of my life."

When I was little, Li'er would always ask me, "Mom, where is my father?"

"Every time I asked her this question, my heart would be stabbed. I understood that Li'er was actually asking who her father was and why I didn't tell her. But I always told Li'er: "His father was a hero, but he died in battle." I know this is just a lie, but I don't want Li'er to suffer too much pain and pressure."

"Gradually, Li'er grew up, and she gradually understood the meaning of life and death. She began to ask fewer questions about her father, but I know that she still missed and was curious about her father in her heart. When she was little, I would always tell her stories about her father."

Lan Xi could feel that whenever Yue Yin talked about his beloved, his eyes were filled with deep love. Lan Xi was very moved by Yue Yin's love story, and she couldn't help but think of Gu Tingyan. Gu Tingyan was someone she once loved deeply, and they had many beautiful memories and aspirations. However, their love ended for various reasons.

"Do you know why I didn't let Li'er enter this forbidden area?"

"Didn't you say that if Li'er stepped into this forbidden land, her divination power would be awakened? You didn't want her to awaken her divination power, so you didn't let her enter this forbidden land." Lan Xi replied.

"This is just one of the reasons." Yue Yin paused.

"Then what other reason is there?" Lan Xi asked tentatively.

"Come with me, I'll take you to see someone." After Yue Yin said that, she took Lan Xi and walked in another direction.

Lan Xi and Yue Yin got up from the green lawn, and Yue Yin decided to take Lan Xi to a mysterious place - her study. The study was filled with a thick mysterious atmosphere. Yue Yin led Lan Xi through the dazzling array of books and walked into the depths of the room. There, there was a seemingly ordinary bookshelf, but upon closer inspection, it was found to be a mechanical hub. Yue Yin gently pressed a button hidden in the dark, and with a slight sound of the mechanism running, the bookshelf slowly moved away, revealing an exquisitely decorated secret door.

Yue Yin signaled Lan Xi to follow closely, and together they stepped into this unknown place. After passing through the secret door, they came to a deep and narrow underground secret room. Although this secret room was small, it was very elegantly decorated. There were pots of vibrant green plants placed in the corners of the wall, adding a bit of vitality to this dark space.

Before entering the secret room, Yue Yin carefully picked up a thick cloak and handed it to Lan Xi: "Here's the cloak for you, put it on now."

"It's not cold, why do you give me a cloak?"

"You'll know its function in a moment." Lan Xi took the cloak, her heart full of doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she followed Yue Yin's instructions and put it on.

As they walked into the secret room step by step, the coldness in the air became stronger and stronger, as if they were in an icy paradise. Finally, at the end of the winding passage, a majestic and solemn ice coffin appeared, standing quietly in the center of the secret room, like an iceberg guarding a secret.

Yue Yin walked towards the ice coffin, gently stretched out her hand, and stroked the transparent and hard ice layer, with deep attachment and uncontrollable grief in her eyes. Lan Xi followed closely behind, and when she saw the situation inside the ice coffin, her heart was shocked - a handsome and elegant man lay in the ice coffin, with his eyes closed peacefully, as if he was just sleeping in the good old days.

Yue Yin's voice was filled with sorrow and endless yearning as she slowly spoke, "He was my beloved partner and Li'er's biological father. In order to keep his appearance after he leaves this world, I have placed his body here and used the power of ice to freeze time so that it will never decay. Whenever I miss him, I can relive the past years we spent together through the mirror of this ice coffin."

Yue Yin's gaze stayed on the ice coffin for a moment, then turned to Lan Xi: "This is why I don't allow Li'er to approach the forbidden area - I don't want her to bear such a heavy emotional burden. I do this to protect her."

Lan Xi listened to Yue Yin's story quietly, and a wave of sympathy surged in her heart for this woman who had lost her lover. She deeply felt Yue Yin's deep and lasting love and longing for this man, and this infatuation and persistence moved Lan Xi deeply.
