Whoosh—!
Faced with this bizarre spectacle on a scale far beyond what words could describe, Ye Chen was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that the power hidden within the log could be so miraculous and profound!
Once Ye Chen slowly came back to his senses from the dazzling radiance, he was shocked to discover that the world before his eyes had somehow been replaced by an entirely new scene!
Bright sunshine.
Birdsong and fragrant flowers.
A gentle breeze beneath a fair sky.
At this moment, what appeared before Ye Chen was no longer the cramped study, but a vibrant pastoral village.
Faced with this inexplicable change of scenery, Ye Chen's face was filled with shock and confusion.
All of a sudden, a clear and melodious girl's song drifted over from behind Ye Chen without warning.
"La la~ la la la~ la la la la~~~"
The instant he heard that song, Ye Chen's heart gave an unprompted thump.
Thump!
For some reason, this unfamiliar melody gave him an intense and inexplicable sense of déjà vu, as though it had awakened something buried in the deepest depths of his soul!
"What's going on?"
With incredulous astonishment, Ye Chen slowly turned around and cast his shaken gaze toward a small wooden cabin behind him. Then, beside a large tree next to the cabin, he spotted the source of the singing.
It was a young girl sitting on a tree branch, softly humming to the birds. She looked only a little over ten years old.
She wore a beautiful white dress, and her thick, fluffy black curls resembled sheep's wool. Under the sunlight, her bright eyes shimmered like sapphires.
Ye Chen had no idea who this girl, who had suddenly appeared before him, was.
And yet, her childish, adorable face felt so familiar
