There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

"Ah."

Lu Qing nodded softly. In the pitch-black environment, she felt as if Vina's breathing was right next to her ear, which made her feel at ease.

Carefully climbing the stairs, Lu Qing realized how familiar this place looked when her vision returned.

A huge magic circle was carved on the ground. Looking up, you could see an abandoned metal bell, and in the four corners of the stone platform, there were four thick stone pillars.

This is clearly the abandoned clock tower that Vina teleported her to when the Storm Clan attacked!

"Where is this?" Lu Qing asked knowingly.

Vina shook her head without saying anything, and pointed behind Lu Qing.

Looking at Vina's fingers, Lu Qing turned her head. What came into view was the sea reddened by the afterglow of the setting sun. A huge sun was slowly setting on the beach, and a quarter of its body was already covered by the sea.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment. She had never seen such a scene before and was at a loss. The sun melted away most of the troubles in her heart at this moment.

She had seen sunsets before, but those were always city sunsets, where the sun would eventually be swallowed up by skyscrapers, leaving only a chill in the air.

“From the top of this abandoned clock tower, you can clearly see the entire process of the sun setting,” Vina said from behind Lu Qing.

"The sunset was beautiful," Lu Qing exclaimed.

"A beautiful environment can make people forget their troubles."

Vina stepped forward, took out a pale yellow flower headdress from her hand, and tied it to one of the horns of the ram's horn headdress.

“It looks much better this way.” Vina took two steps back and smiled slightly.

Lu Qing gently stroked the flower on the ram's horn, her feelings somewhat complicated. Just then, the notice board popped up with item information.

Author's Note

Well, let me ramble on a bit.

To be honest, I really wish there were more chapters and comments, even if they only pointed out the book's shortcomings.

Since you're not saying anything, I don't know where I went wrong either. There must be a reason why this book did so poorly.

Is it because the pace is too slow? I don't know.

If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do but speed up the pace starting from the next dream. I know everyone wants to see exciting moments, but honestly, maybe I'm having a mental breakdown. I wanted to write a serious plot, but it turned out like this.

If you don't like watching it....

Okay, I probably won't change this habit, because I don't want my book to be one where readers can just skim through large sections without getting excited.

Um.......

Although I'm even worse off than those books now, because nobody reads me...

Okay, okay, I brought this on myself because nobody's reading it. The plot itself is slow-paced, and the subject matter will deter many people, including most of the fans of my previous book.

In addition, because I'm a senior in high school, my update speed is slow, so it's hard to imagine what I'll use to become popular.

Those who have made it this far are probably true fans, so I'll just say a few more words.

The plot will definitely get even more exciting later on, because in my imagination, the female lead only starts to exert her power after the third dream.

That's when the real excitement of this book begins, and I'm confident you won't be disappointed.

Okay, enough rambling. Thank you all for your support, love you all!

Come on, little deer Qing, give a quick kiss to all you readers.

"Ugh..."

"Since they're fans..."

(*￣3￣) (Aim at the camera, and smack from a distance!)

I have a physical exam and a test tomorrow. I'll write after I get back.

As the title says, I have to be at the city hospital at 6:20 am tomorrow for my physical exam. We're not allowed to eat or have a late-night snack, so I need to go to bed early.

I'll start writing again after I get back from my exam tomorrow night. The physical exam requires a blood test, which is making me a little nervous. Ugh, this is so tough.

Chapter 100: It's finally about to begin.

"Is this really okay for me?" Lu Qing stroked the yellow flower on the ram's horn, feeling the delicate texture on her fingers, her mood somewhat complicated.

However, she had no reason to explain how she knew the meaning of the ram's horn headdress, so she could only thank Vina:

"Thank you."

"It's alright, it's just a decoration, nothing serious," Vina said with a smile, shaking her head.

"Anyway, you can't wear this when you go back, or other races will misunderstand if they see it."

“But it’s a gift, isn’t it?” Lu Qing said earnestly.

"I guess so," Vina nodded.

"Since it's a gift, I'll keep it safe no matter what," Lu Qing said, stroking the tip of the ram's horn.

"Thank you for treasuring this item so much." Vina's smile softened further as she turned and walked towards the clock tower's stairs, saying:

"We need to hurry, because the sun is about to set, and the ceremony will begin after the full moon rises."

"Can't we teleport back?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly, following behind Vina.

Turning to look at Lu Qing, Vina smiled and said, "Do you really enjoy the feeling of teleportation?"

"Forehead."

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Qing shook her head and said, "I don't like it!"

"Then let's walk over there."

Vina turned around, took two steps forward, then suddenly turned back and grabbed Lu Qing's hand.

“It’s very dark down there, and you might get stuck if you’re not familiar with the area,” Vina explained.

"Oh."

Nodding, Lu Qing remembered the scene when she climbed up, so she obediently let Vina hold her hand and walk down.

"Dong dong dong."

After walking through a dark corridor, Lu Qing carefully descended the stairs. Although she couldn't see the path clearly, at least she knew the direction.

By the time we reached the bottom of the clock tower, the sun had already set, and the street outside the gate was shrouded in darkness.

Vina led Lu Qing toward the castle, but perhaps because she had forgotten, she held Lu Qing's hand tightly even after they were outside.

Although being held by someone's hand can feel a little embarrassing, like being a child.

However, Lu Qing didn't want Vina to let go of her hand, and since there weren't many people on the street, she let Vina hold her hand.

Back at the castle, Vina released Lu Qing's hand and led her into a corridor she had never been to before.

Lu Qing knew this place; Vina had mentioned it when introducing the castle's interior structure—this was the castle's basement.

The original plan was to expand the new area of ​​the castle, but because a new hero was about to be born, it was changed to a place for performing rituals.

"However, isn't the power of the full moon needed when performing the ritual? It seems like the basement won't be exposed to moonlight," Lu Qing thought as she followed behind Vina.

However, this was not something she needed to worry about. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Qing put the matter out of her mind.

"This is the best I can do for you."

Vina stopped in front of the basement door, turned around and said to Lu Qing.

"Hmm." Lu Qing looked up at the gate in front of her, her expression somewhat solemn.

"Is it finally about to begin?" she thought to herself.

Lu Qing glanced at Vina, who was pushing open the door, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Um, after I go in, will you wait for me here, Vina?"

Vina paused as she was pushing the door open. She turned around and said earnestly, "I'll be waiting for you here if you need me."

"No no no!"

Lu Qing quickly shook her head and said, "You absolutely must not wait for me here, absolutely!"

Ella, who is Fang Qingrou in the story, will be arriving soon. Who knows how strong she will be with her divine armor? If Vina encounters her, Lu Qing is afraid that Vina will be instantly killed by Fang Qingrou.

So, absolutely, absolutely, we can't let Vina wait for her at the door!

Upon hearing Lu Qing's words, Vina, though somewhat puzzled, still said, "If this is your wish."

"I will comply."

Nodding, Lu Qing walked through the door that Vina had opened, then turned back and instructed again, "Remember, whatever you do, don't wait for me here, not even nearby, just stay far away from here."

"I understand." Vina nodded, and seeing that Lu Qing was still looking at her, she immediately understood what the other person meant.

Helpless, Vina turned around and walked out of the basement. Lu Qing only looked away after her figure disappeared down the corridor.

"That should solve the problem."

Thinking this, Lu Qing turned around and looked into the basement.

The door behind her suddenly closed without any external force, startling Lu Qing so much that she turned around and glanced at it.

The basement was very large, about the size of a 400-meter school playground.
