Chapter 143 Beautiful Love Story

“Sister!” Sylvia was ready to end her life when the voice of a kid suddenly interrupted her action. Stunned by the fact that there was a kid still alive during this apocalyptic age, she immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Seeing the kid who appeared to be about five years of age, Sylvia was even more dumbfounded. She was taken aback by the clean appearance of the kid. His face was plump with healthiness, and the gaze in his eyes was filled with the innocence a young kid of his age should have. No. This shouldn't be the expression a kid in this era should have. The apocalypse era is filled with all kinds of bestiality, and the most venomous ones among the human side were the children. Sylvia immediately raised her vigilance. However, the innocent look in the boy's eyes seems so real unless he's a master at deception. “Who are you?” Sylvia raised her brow and stared at the cute boy before her. “How did you get here? Did you run away from home? Where are your parents?” She suddenly found herself getting worried about the kid in front of her, which is very unusual. Susu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his plan of taking on Asher's appearance had averted the disaster before him. “I don't have a parent. I only have you, sister. Please don't die!” The little boy ran into Sylvia's embrace, catching her off guard. “If you die, I'm going to be alone by myself without any family members left.” The young boy wailed behind her back. Sylvia became more shocked because based on her reaction, she wouldn't have let any stranger near her body. And here she was, hugging the crying kid in her embrace. She was both confused and surprised at the same time. Wait a minute. Why do I feel an ache in my heart? Not knowing why, she could only console the crying kid in her embrace. “It's okay, stop crying.” “I don't want sister to die.” “I'm not going to die. Do not cry anymore.” She continues to pat the boy's back. Where did such a young kid come from? Did he wander away from his parents' midst? It's fortunate enough that he wasn't captured by any zombies on his way here. While in thought, Sylvia suddenly felt a sharp pain course through her body, almost like an electric current. “Ah.” Her eyes widened in shock at the unexpected attack. But before she could say anything, her entire consciousness went black. [I'm sorry, host. I can only wake you up in this way.] Susu's voice rang out in the darkness. … The next moment Sylvia regained consciousness, she found herself staring at the earth wall of the cave. Her memories were still hazy as she couldn't differentiate between reality and illusion. [Host, you need to get up. Miley and the others have already entered a stalemate. If you continue to dawdle, they might not be able to hold on any longer.] Susu's words sound like a wake-up call, snapping Sylvia back to reality. “Were you the one who broke me away from the illusion?” She asked.[Yes. The hallucinogen mist spread out by the Psychedelic Monarch Butterfly can create an illusion that resonates with people's memories and desire.] [You almost lost yourself in the illusion, so I had to take on Asher's appearance to break you away from the effect of the mist. If I were any second late, you would have self-destructed in reality.] Sylvia knew that what Susu said was right since she could still recall what happened to her in the illusion world. Those were the dark memories she had kept hidden in her heart. Yet, she had to experience the painful memories once again. Sylvia became angry that her dark past was pulled open. She got up to her feet, feeling a painful throb behind her head. No wonder she constantly felt an ache behind her head in the illusion world. Looks like whatever happened to her body in reality would also be projected in the illusion. [The Psychedelic Monarch Butterfly is two feet away from you, host.] Hearing the report, Sylvia immediately threw out a wind blade in the direction Susu pointed out. The Psychedelic Monarch Butterfly, which was still camouflaged as a six-colored star flower, sensed the danger behind it and was about to dispel another wave of hallucinogen mist. Unfortunately for it, Sylvia's wind blade was much faster than its reaction. The wind blade arrived behind it, splitting the insect's body into two. As an A-rank beast, the Psychedelic Monarch Butterfly's fighting ability relies on its illusion casting. As for its physical strength, it was nothing to write home about. Getting the notification that there was no danger in the surrounding area, Sylvia dropped her battle stance.She suddenly seems to remember something. Turning around, Sylvia saw Ian seated against the cave wall with his eyes closed. He must have inhaled the pink mist just like her. She walked towards him, checking on his state. Seeing that he was just in a deep sleep state, she asked Susu, “Can you please wake him up?” [Okay.] At that instant, Ian's body trembled, as if he were being electrocuted. “Sss.” His eyes flipped open as he let out a painful hiss. “Awake?” Sylvia stared at him, noticing the hazy look in his eyes. After a while, Ian soon recovered from his state. “What happened?” He shifted his gaze away from Sylvia as he questioned. “I was digging out the flower when my consciousness suddenly went blank. Was it a beast attack?” “Hmm.” Sylvia nodded in answer. “It was a hallucinogen attack from an A-rank Psychedelic Monarch Butterfly. It was hiding among the six-colored star flowers.” “How long have I been out?” Ian stood up from the ground. “It's been fifteen minutes since the moment we were caught inside the illusion spell. Let's hurry with our task. Miley and the others should have reached a critical stage by now. We need to go back and help them out.” As she spoke, Sylvia had already moved forward and began to dig out the flowers at a faster rate. Ian saw her movement and also went back to his position. However, from time to time, he would secretly glance at Sylvia from the corner of his eye. Ian felt the abnormal rate of his heartbeat. But this time, he knew that it wasn't as a result of any hidden illness. The scene he had seen in the illusion appeared in his mind. It was a beautiful love story about him and Sylvia. On a beautiful sunny day, he had knelt before Sylvia, confessing his feelings to her. Seeing Sylvia's blushing appearance upon facing his confession, Ian felt a sense of happiness in his heart. 'She likes me.' The two of them started dating, eventually getting married after graduating. Their wedding was very grandiose and was attended by several powerhouses across the universe. Facing his bride, who was dressed in a beautiful white gown, Ian's heart was filled with joy that he finally got to marry the person he loved. Months later, Sylvia became pregnant with their first child, and they welcomed home their beautiful daughter. Ian was so happy that he couldn't stand still. The little one bore the same resemblance to her mother. She was a mini version of Sylvia. Next, they welcome a son and another daughter after. As he watched on, Ian wished that the scene in the illusion was true. Was this his true desire? Reaching out to his beating chest, Ian didn't know what to do after what he had just witnessed in the illusion. But he definitely knew one thing. And that was, he liked Sylvia. He really likes her.Confirming the feelings in his heart, Ian felt his heart begin to thump faster. “I…” Liked her.
