Chapter 1014: One Thousand and Twelve, Light Domain

Shuimu Ye propped her chin with one hand, occasionally frowning, and then shaking her head. "How could it be? Didn’t ’he’ say last time that he liked that Cui Xiang? How could he like Lu Mo? And Lu Mo is a man."

"Knock, knock, knock!" Light knocking came from the door.

"Come in!" Shuimu Ye said lifelessly.

Shuimu Yan pushed the door open and entered the room, noticing Shuimu Ye holding her chin with a gloomy expression. He shook his head with a smile. "Looks like your situation is similar to mine."

Seeing Shuimu Yan, Shuimu Ye stood up. "Brother, did Lu Mo admit that he likes Luo Yu too?"

Shuimu Yan nodded, "He admitted it, and he’s unwavering about it. It seems our attempts to persuade him are useless."

Walking to the table and sitting down, Shuimu Yan lightly tapped the tabletop, motioning Shuimu Ye to sit down. Once she did, he asked, "Do you like Luo Yu?" He had seen through her feelings long ago. Now that the topic was in the open, he decided to address it directly.

Shuimu Ye shyly nodded. "Mother didn’t agree, and besides..." Luo Yu liked Lu Mo. No matter how deeply she liked Luo Yu, what would it matter?

"Mother knows?" Shuimu Yan was a little surprised.

"Mother figured it out herself. That day, she talked to me for a long time, which led me to decide not to come along with you all." Shuimu Ye explained. Ultimately, though, she couldn’t resist coming.

"Now that you know Luo Yu likes Lu Mo, do you still like ’him’?" Shuimu Yan looked at Shuimu Ye, waiting for her answer. He sincerely hoped his sister could let go. Since Luo Yu and Lu Hanmo seemed to have feelings for each other, no amount of persuasion from them would help. If this love was destined to bear no fruit, why waste time and emotion on it?

Shuimu Ye thought deeply for a long while. "I still like him a little." Liking someone wasn’t something that could simply be let go.

Shuimu Yan shook his head and sighed. "Yeye, I hope you can let it go. In this world, everything can be forced, except for emotions. Even if you really ended up with Luo Yu, if ’he’ didn’t love you, you wouldn’t be happy either."

Shuimu Ye let out a long sigh. "I’ll try to gradually let it go." Today, she saw the determination in Luo Yu’s eyes, which indicated that ’he’ didn’t just like Lu Mo a little. As her brother said, emotions couldn’t be forced. Since it was futile, letting go was the only option. However, letting go also required time.

After having a heartfelt conversation with Shuimu Yan, Shuimu Ye stayed in her room for the next two days, not going out at all. Even her meals were brought to her by the inn staff. She needed time to calm herself down and settle her emotions.

"Why haven’t I seen Shuimu Ye these past two days?" Luo Shu asked, looking at Shuimu Yan.

"She said she needs some time to clear her mind," Shuimu Yan replied with a smile, hoping Yeye had already figured things out.

"Will she go today?" Luo Shu asked. Had she inadvertently hurt Shuimu Ye that day?

"I think she’ll go. Let me go ask." Shuimu Yan said as he headed toward Shuimu Ye’s room.

Standing outside Shuimu Ye’s door, just as Shuimu Yan was about to knock, the door creaked open.

"Brother, are we leaving now?" Shuimu Ye asked, carrying a bag and smiling brightly at Shuimu Yan.

"The carriage is already waiting downstairs. Let’s go." Shuimu Yan looked at Shuimu Ye and felt a surge of relief. It seemed Yeye had adjusted her mindset. Although letting go wouldn’t happen overnight, he believed in her.

The two headed downstairs, where Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo were already waiting for them.

"Here, eat something." Lu Hanmo handed a packaged snack to Shuimu Ye. Shushu wasn’t convenient to give it herself, so he had to do it for her.

"Thank you!" Shuimu Ye accepted the snack, then turned to look at Luo Shu, flashing her a smile. Over the past two days, she realized she could now face Luo Yu calmly. Looking at ’him’ no longer made her heart race like before. Although there were still traces of affection, she believed she could move on.

Luo Shu smiled back. "It’s about time. Let’s set off."

The four boarded the carriage, slowly heading toward the Light Domain. The road to the Light Domain was bustling with travelers, making it impossible to move quickly.

After leaving the city, the crowds dispersed, allowing the carriage to gradually pick up speed.

The Light Domain was located in the Galar Sea outside Holy Light City. Each time the Light Domain opened, a massive island would rise from the sea. When the island fully emerged, the Holy Tree on the island would emit a golden radiance.

Once the golden radiance enveloped the crowd, everyone present would receive Sacred Power. Each instance of Sacred Power granted an additional hundred years of lifespan.

Luo Shu and the others stepped down from the carriage and saw that the shoreline of the Galar Sea was already crowded with people waiting for the Light Domain to open.

Joining the throngs of people, the group spent considerable effort pushing their way to the front.

At this moment, the sea was calm and still, with the sunlight reflecting shimmering waves upon its surface.

"Soon, an island will rise from the depths of the sea," Shuimu Ye pointed toward the surface with excitement. She had been here once before and seen the magnificent spectacle of an island emerging from beneath the waves.

"Will we be able to go on the island?" This was what concerned Luo Shu the most. If she couldn’t, she would have to rely on her Divine Sense.

"The island will only remain on the surface for the duration of an incense stick’s time. Once you’re on, it won’t be possible to return in time," Shuimu Yan explained. "I’ve heard some people managed to get on, but none of them ever came back."

"You’re not thinking of going up there, are you? Don’t even try—it’s incredibly dangerous. I’ve heard there are man-eating monsters and terrifying forces on the island. Anyone who goes there gets torn into nothingness by those powers," Shuimu Ye said, looking at Luo Shu and disclosing everything she knew.

Luo Shu furrowed her brows slightly and gazed toward the endless shoreline. It seemed she would have to rely on her Divine Sense.

After waiting for a while, the calm sea suddenly stirred, forming layers of waves that grew taller and stronger as time passed.

Gradually, jagged reefs began to rise from the water, expanding in size until a full island emerged in front of everyone.

As time went by, the island finally revealed itself in all its glory—vast and majestic, stretching endlessly, awe-inspiring beyond words!

"The Light Domain is about to open! Soon we’ll see the Holy Tree!"

"What a breathtaking island. It’s a pity we can’t go explore its real beauty."

"Quick, look! A golden tree!"

On the island, a golden giant tree began to appear faintly. As time passed, its form became clearer, radiating dazzling golden beams of light.
