The old doctor contemplated for a moment, wiped the sweat from his forehead again, and cautiously began, “Princess Yan Luo’s health has been deteriorating continuously, and it was originally a time when she needed proper rest…”
But then something happened.
“So?”
“Her Highness was frightened, and inhaled a potent sedative. I have temporarily stabilized the worsening condition. However, she still needs continued recuperation. But…” Feeling the oppressive aura from Xiuyin, the old doctor spoke again, “Given Her Highness’s current condition, the originally estimated one-year timeframe may not be achievable.”
Xiuyin tightened his grip, “Even if we find those things you mentioned?”
“Your Majesty, those things are just meant to be temporary solutions, not addressing the root cause. Even if they were found earlier, they would only have eased Her Highness’s condition…”
“…” Xiuyin looked at Yan Luo’s pale face and spoke coldly, “Leave.”
“Yes, yes.” The old doctor quickly retreated as if granted amnesty.
The surrounding atmosphere seemed to stagnate, and after a long silence, Xiuyin slowly approached the bed, then held the still unconscious Yan Luo in his arms.
He lowered his head to nuzzle her neck, feeling the warmth of her body. However, a dark color was becoming more evident in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Yan Luo was in a subtle state, looking at her small hands and feet, tilting her head slightly, and calling out in her mind, “Little Pink?”
[*Ding*—Host, hello~!]
“What’s going on?” Yan Luo, appearing to be around ten years old, with a round face, a princess dress, and curious, watery eyes, asked with confusion.
[The original owner’s body couldn’t hold on any longer, and the memories sealed by the original owner have surfaced. You have automatically replaced the original owner in this memory, so you don’t need to panic. However, you only have less than three months now, so the system now believes that wasting time in this dimension is not a good idea.]
Little Pink’s voice was calm, still carrying a hint of softness. [So, I hope Host won’t have any aversion to future dimensions and will strive to complete the tasks.]
Yan Luo paused slightly, shrugged her shoulders.
Ah, it’s been figured out.
Indeed, from the beginning, she never intended to earnestly complete these tasks. It wasn’t just a feeling; she simply didn’t see the necessity in these matters.
Yan Luo was somewhat negative, terrified of certain things, but in reality, she thought that death was just a matter of closing her eyes.
“Little Pink, are these dimensions truly real, or are they just data within your Administrative Bureau?” Yan Luo’s eyes flashed with a hint of amusement as she concealed her previous emotions and adopted a light tone.
[It depends on Host’s understanding. If tHost believes they are real, then they are real. If Host always sees herself as an outsider, then I can’t help it. After all, no matter how powerful the Dimensional Administrative Bureau is, it can only make simple adjustments to dimensions and allow its staff to enter these dimensions and change some things.]
Little Pink continued to speak.
After all, if she herself didn’t acknowledge the world, even if it feels real to others, it wouldn’t be her real world.
