Chapter 732 - 732 732 Space-time Door
732: Chapter 732: Space-time Door 732: Chapter 732: Space-time Door As the researchers took the key again from Lin Xi’s hand and put it in the space-time door, everyone’s hearts pounded violently, worrying that things might not go smoothly, that there might be malfunctions, or even explosions.
“Please, let it work.” Gu Fan was the most nervous because this could very well be Lin Xi’s only hope.
When the researcher excitedly pressed the switch, the space-time door experienced a strong energy fluctuation that made everyone tense up, and some even retreated in fear.
Behind the space-time door, there’s a short corridor that gradually twists and distorts until it disappears, replaced by an energy vortex that rotates so fiercely it seems it could swallow everything.
Lin Xi took a step forward, taking a deep breath in to calm herself.
It was like a huge gamble and the end result was unpredictable.
Gu Fan came over and stood by Lin Xi’s side, firmly holding her hand, giving her strength and courage.
“Think about it, we may never be able to come back once we go through,” Lin Xi warned.
This was the first time for space-time travel, and she couldn’t be certain about it.
In response, Gu Fan shrugged off her worry.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.
I came prepared for everything.
Besides, my mission given by the Destiny Stone isn’t finished yet, I’ll be fine.
And with me by your side, you will be fine too.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi felt a warmth in her heart.
She felt like she had chosen the right person, and at this moment felt an impulse to marry Gu Fan right away.
A researcher chimed in, “After you two enter the space-time door, we will close it.
We will open it again after an hour.
If you have not returned by then, we will wait another hour before reopening.
Remember the time.”
“Alright, I got it, thank you all.” After finishing saying that, Gu Fan took the first brave step forward, even pulling Lin Xi along with him.
Watching Gu Fan and Lin Xi disappear into the space-time door, Harvin furrowed his eyebrows.
“We have to figure out who these guys are and what the Destiny Stone is.”
A researcher suggested, “Perhaps we can have a good talk with Gu Fan and their team, try to have more cooperation with them, and get closer to our research of the ancient Super Civilization.”
Harvin shook his head in response.
“Isn’t that letting them know more about our research results?”
“Maybe Gu Fan and his group know more than we do about the ancient Super Civilization.
Like immortality, for example.” When the researcher mentioned immortality, Harvin’s expression changed slightly, he seemed tempted.
At this point, in the space-time tunnel, Gu Fan and Lin Xi still held each other’s hands tightly.
Everything around them was blurry, as if light was flowing backward.
Gu Fan tried to grasp the light, but couldn’t.
After an unknowable amount of time, the scenery around them transformed, and Gu Fan and Lin Xi found themselves in a strange palace, looking confused.
Lin Xi glanced at the not-so-luxurious palace, touching things around her, her eyes filled with astonishment.
She couldn’t help saying, “My God, we really made it.
We have really traveled to the ancient times.”
Hearing this, Gu Fan was utterly surprised, “What do you mean, is this palace the royal palace of Qianye Country?”
Lin Xi nodded in confirmation, “If my memory serves me right, this is the royal palace of Qianye Country.
Look, over there are the sword marks I carved out in a fit of Qi.” Lin Xi then pointed out the traces on the wall.
“Really?” Gu Fan was delighted.
It seemed that the space-time travel had gone smoothly.
Then Gu Fan added, “We should hurry and find the spring of life.
Hopefully, you haven’t used up all of it in your bathwater.”
“Damn you!” Lin Xi retorted laughingly, and threw a punch at Gu Fan, before leading him towards where she used to bathe and dress.
The palace was neither too big nor too small.
Lin Xi, relying on her memory from the past, took a less-traveled path usually used by palace maids.
After a long detour, they arrived at the room with the spring of life.
“This is it.” Lin Xi pushed the door open, and stepped in cautiously.
The first thing she noticed was a huge screen, which she chose to ignore.
Behind the screen was a large pool.
It looked very clear, with many petals floating on the surface.
It appeared that someone had come to use it.
Gu Fan asked curiously, “Is this the spring of life?”
No sooner had Lin Xi nodded her agreement, than Gu Fan asked, “What do we do now, do you want to bathe, or drink?”
Hearing this, Lin Xi almost felt faint, “I don’t know, I normally used it for bathing.
If you ask me to drink it now, I really can’t.”
Gu Fan was perplexed, “You bathe in it, and now you’re disgusted by it because it’s dirty?
Just bear with it, pinch your nose and take a sip.”
Lin Xi felt helpless, unable to overcome this psychological hurdle.
Gu Fan didn’t care and hurried her, “Hurry up, we don’t know when someone might come.”
This woke Lin Xi up, “Right, then you should drink first.”
“Why do I have to drink first?
This is your bathwater.” Gu Fan wanted to reject it, but Lin Xi’s reasoning caught him off guard, “Gu Fan, you kiss my skin all the time, you never seemed disgusted then.
You even seemed to enjoy it.
Now I’m just asking you to drink a little, and you have a problem?
”
“Uh…um…” Gu Fan was left speechless, and before he could make any decision, Lin Xi pushed him towards the pool asking him to try it.
The water looked clear, but Gu Fan still had a psychological barrier.
He grumbled, “What a waste, it would’ve been nice if you had saved some to drink back then instead of using all of it to bathe.
Who are you really being fair to?”
Lin Xi defended herself, “I didn’t think about it that way back then.
All I knew was that I enjoyed bathing.
And being happy is the point.”
“Alright, alright, I’ll just drink it.
Don’t push me.” Gu Fan endeavored to adjust his mindset.
For Lin Xi, he was really planning to drink it.
“Gu Fan, I knew you’d be the best to me.” Lin Xi said admiringly.
Just then, there was a sound from outside, “You guys wait for me outside!” “Yes, Empress.”
Gu Fan and Lin Xi were startled.
It was true that what they feared had come.
Without thinking twice, they each found a different screen to hide behind.
They remained there, praying in their hearts countless times, hoping nothing would go wrong.
