Chapter 60 - I will listen to my brides wish (1/2)

My body feels good as new. Even the old scars are gone. I try to listen to the time crystal. It's dead silent. The uneasiness doesn't go away. I concentrate and try to time travel again. Nothing happens. My ability is gone?

I go to the river and drink the water. The sun is at the top. I have no idea where I am. I can only tell one thing. I only traveled 10 hours in the future to this unknown location since the moment I escaped from the purple smoke.

I am not afraid. I am sure that this is temporary. It has to be temporary. My aunt is burned out, but she will be able to use it in the future. With time crystal, this should not be happening to me. I can still feel the time crystal inside me. It's not gone. It only stopped making any sound. It probably needs some time to recharge itself.

By the way, why I am not wandering randomly in time? If time crystal was gone or dead, I should become how I was.

I walk for a long time by the river. Usually, the villages aren't situated far from the water source. I walk until I see the rays of sunlight again. I don't feel tired or hungry. Now, I am afraid. A human being should feel tired after walking for a day and night.

The capital is in the uproar. The fifth prince is getting married. Again. This time, the girl is the long lost daughter of a lower noble family. Feng Lingxin.

At the Feng residence, Yoori is sitting in the room with a sullen face. Never in her dreams, she could guess that her task is to marry that damn sly snake. As soon as she agreed, he told her to pretend to be the long lost daughter of the Feng family. When she declined, he declined to give her the antidote. In the end, she had to agree.

The Feng family knows that she is not Feng Lingxin. They are unusually fine with it. They don't bother her or come to talk to her unless it is something important. The food is delivered to her room. There is always a silver needle next to the plate. She isn't allowed to leave the room until the wedding. She is sure that it's that creepy prince's work.

There is a knock on the window. She frowns. His messengers? The wedding is freaking tomorrow. She is already having cold feet. She opens the window.

Wu Yixing jumps inside the room. ”You aren't dead yet. It's a good sign.”

”Why are you here?” She crosses her arms. ”Leave.”

”Why can't groom visits his bride?” He flicks her forehead. ”I was missing you, Feng Lingxin.”
