Chapter 269 Do you love me?
Chapter 269 Do you love me?
She had seen it in her past life.
Although I only caught a glimpse of Frosty Sky Covering the Moon Snow Princess from afar.
But that one glance became her obsession.
And now, it is right in front of her.
It was clearly a dream, yet it felt real, vivid, and so close that she could feel the cosmic wind pressure it generated with its breath—Frosty Sky Covering the Moon, Pure Snow Princess.
"I'm dreaming."
Xue Youyou heard her own voice, hoarse yet resolute: "This is a dream."
She was fully conscious when she said those words.
She could feel her body trembling slightly, her heart pounding wildly in her chest, and the excitement and shock that almost engulfed her.
At the same time, she also knew clearly that this body was her past life, this starry sky was the depths of the universe that she had never set foot in in reality, and the existence in front of her was a legend that only existed in the game.
All of this can only be a dream.
Logically, when a person realizes they are dreaming, the dream should begin to disintegrate. Once consciousness returns, the logic of the dream becomes inconsistent, the images shatter, the senses become blurred, and ultimately, upon waking, it vanishes into a blank.
but no.
The starry sky remained intact, the galaxies continued to rotate smoothly, and the Frosty Sky and Moon-Hidden Snow Maiden still stood before her, breathing quietly, each exhale releasing countless stars.
The dream has not been shattered.
Xue Youyou's pupils suddenly contracted.
She thought of a possibility. A possibility that sent chills down her spine.
This is no ordinary dream.
She suddenly raised her head and, with all her might, shouted at the very depths of that being who could make even the gods bow down.
"Frosty Sky, Moon-Hidden Snow Princess! Can you hear me? Can you see me? Did you send me to this world of beast taming?!"
Her voice should not be able to travel in a vacuum, but this is a dream, where the laws of physics no longer apply.
The words seemed to be carried by some invisible force, passing through stars, through nebulae, through the Milky Way where the twelve feathered robes fell, and crashing straight into the direction where the Frosty Sky-Hidden Moon Snow Princess was.
Then, a miracle happened.
Frosty Sky Obscures the Moon, Su Xueji's gaze fell upon her.
Those frosty white eyes, which held the first light of the universe, after encompassing countless galaxies, countless civilizations, and countless births and deaths over billions of years, for the first time, focused on a human soul from another world, so insignificant as to be less than a speck of dust.
Xue Youyou felt as if her soul had been completely pierced by that gaze.
It's not about being scrutinized or observed, but a more fundamental feeling of being "seen" at the level of existence.
It was as if, before this, she was just a vague concept, a shadowy figure, but at this moment, she finally became a confirmed, real existence.
Her knees were trembling, but she did not kneel down.
Because although those eyes were majestic, enough to make any living being instinctively submit, deep within them lay a strange, almost gentle smile.
Frosty Sky Hides the Moon, Su Xue Ji Does Not Open Her Mouth.
But its voice rang out directly from the deepest part of Xue Youyou's heart.
The sound didn't pass through the eardrums or the auditory nerves, but was like a pebble thrown into the deep pool of the soul, creating ripples that spread throughout her entire being.
"You—"
"Do you truly love me?"
Xue Youyou was stunned.
She had imagined countless possibilities.
She imagined that Frosty Sky Covering the Moon Snow Princess would say to her, "Welcome to this world," that she would say, "You are the chosen one," that she would say, "Your journey has just begun," and even that she would disappear without a word, leaving her alone in her dream, feeling lost and forlorn.
But she never expected that the first words spoken to her by this dreamlike imperial pet, this supreme being who could devour countless galaxies with a single breath, would be—
Do you really love me?
What's the problem?
Is this a question being asked of her?
Her eyes welled up with tears uncontrollably in that instant.
Something was churning violently in my chest, like emotions that had been suppressed for countless years finally finding an outlet.
That feeling wasn't her answer to the question as Xue Youyou at this moment, but a deeper, more instinctive conditioned reflex that was almost etched into every bone and muscle of this body from her previous life.
Then, before she even realized what she had done, her body had already reacted.
She clenched her right fist and slammed it heavily into her chest. The force of the punch was astonishing, like beating a war drum, the dull thud echoing through the starry sky.
Her tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks, turning into floating droplets in the weightless environment, each droplet reflecting the light of distant stars.
Then, with all her might, in an almost screaming voice, she loudly swore an oath to the supreme being that occupied her entire field of vision—
"The universe bears witness, I have always loved you deeply, Frosty Sky Moon-Hidden Snow Princess, ahh ...
The sound echoed through the starry sky, echoed, echoed.
Xue Youyou only snapped back to reality when the last syllable disappeared into the distance at the edge of the Milky Way.
She remained frozen in place, her right hand still pounding her chest.
Tears still clung to her face, and her chest still heaved violently from the scream, but her consciousness was slowly returning.
Then, an extremely calm, somewhat bewildered thought surfaced in her mind.
She said that herself.
But it doesn't sound like something she said herself.
At least, it doesn't sound like something "she would say now".
Although she truly loved Frosty Sky Covering the Moon Snow Princess to the point of near obsession, it was ultimately her pursuit of the strongest pet in the game.
No matter how fervent one is, it shouldn't be to the point of bursting into tears, pounding one's chest in public, and making a desperate vow.
And this line is so cringeworthy!
She could never utter those awkward, ancient-style phrases like "the universe bears witness" or "I have always loved you deeply"!
So who was speaking just now?
Is there another person living inside her body?
Xue Youyou felt her mind was in unprecedented chaos.
The feeling was so eerie—she clearly remembered the vibration of her vocal cords when she spoke each word, the warmth of her cheeks when tears welled up in her eyes, the pain when she pounded her chest with her fist, and even the undeniable fervor and devotion in her voice when she uttered her last words.
But at the same time, she clearly felt that the person she had just seen was not entirely "her".
Or rather, it was "she," but it was more than just "she."
This feeling made her silently complain to herself—
Who exactly is this silly Lucky guy?
Could it be her?
No way!
