Dragon Clan gacha, start as the top player in Takamagahara

The two of them joined in because they needed to keep a close watch.

However, the crow clearly overestimated its abilities; riding such a thrilling roller coaster was practically a death sentence for it.

Yaksha, on the other hand, wore sunglasses, crossed his arms, and looked indifferent. However, he was only indifferent to the roller coaster ride. In reality, he was about to lose his temper with the crow next to him. This tough guy who was good at conquering would never have imagined that the crow would be clinging to his thigh the whole time. If it weren't for the buckle restraint, the crow might have clung to him like a koala.

Three minutes later, Lin Ye got out of the car, his face pale.

He barely managed to get off the train with Erii's help, and his legs are still trembling violently.

Especially when he sat on that steep spot that was nearly 100 meters high and then suddenly turned back down, Lin Ye's calves were so stiff that they cramped up. He never expected that his first time riding a roller coaster would be to such an extreme level.

It took him a long time to calm down.

"Lin Ye, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, of course. Let's go, Erii, let's move on to the next attraction."

Lin Ye quickly adjusted his mindset so that Erii could have fun.

However, he was also a bit timid. Although he seemed to be taking the initiative to take Erii around Disneyland, he actually secretly controlled the rides and attractions.

The two arrived at the Soaring Over the Horizon attraction called Adventure Island.

As the two passed through the cave entrance, they could see the starry sky ceiling adorned with countless stars when they looked up.

There were already quite a few tourists waiting inside. When they saw Lin Ye and Erii walk in, their eyes lit up, and some even took out their phones or cameras to take pictures.

Soon, a new cycle began. The staff secured Lin Ye and Erii to their viewing seats, which then rose up as if floating on clouds, and the world before their eyes was transformed through 3D simulation.

One after another, mountain peaks rise abruptly from the ground, with steep cliffs standing tall amidst the clouds. The peaks are covered with snow, and waterfalls cascade down from them, plunging three thousand feet.

Soon the world before my eyes changed again. The sound of waves crashing could be heard, and I could even smell the salty smell of the sea. Seagulls flew in flocks over the sea, and countless islands were scattered in the depths of the azure ocean, like embellishments on this sapphire.

Soon, hymns filled the air, the voices of a choir echoing from the sacred, ancient church. As white doves rose and fell, holy light shone down, creating a beautiful and peaceful scene. Then, the earth rumbled and trembled, accompanied by swirling smoke. On the boundless grasslands, countless animals began their great migration. In a herd, a calf fell, and its mother helped it up with her trunk, allowing it to rejoin the massive migration.

"Eri, do you see those precipitous peaks? That's called Mount Hua, the most wondrous mountain in the world. That dark blue mountain ridge is called Azure Dragon Ridge, also known as the Dragon Vein of Mount Hua. Walking on it feels like stepping on a knife's edge. Besides those, there's also Thousand-Foot Cliff, Hundred-Foot Gorge, and Hawk's Turn. Isn't that cool!"

"Wow, that's amazing."

"That sea area that gradually changes from deep blue to light green, the island on it is called Bora Bora. Doesn't that name sound like a spell? The island is full of coconut trees, you can swim and dive here, and drink coconut juice directly when you're thirsty."

"Hmm, I feel like going swimming there."

……

"This is the African savanna, a place where one can witness the great miracle of life."

……

Lin Ye acted like an enthusiastic tour guide, explaining each 3D scene to Erii. With his rich descriptions, these beautiful landscapes of the world seemed to come alive.

Erii's beautiful eyes sparkled; these were all magnificent sights she had never seen before.

In the past, Yuan Zhisheng would take her on trips, but they were mostly to high-end places like five-star restaurants. They never had the profound feeling of being able to experience the beauty of nature so immersively.

Looking at the ever-changing world, Erii's beautiful eyes were filled with anticipation and longing, but as she looked, the girl's bright ruby ​​eyes dimmed.

Erii's eyelids drooped, and her head drooped lower and lower, like a lost kitten.

"Eri, do you see that big forest? Inside... hey, it's raining?"

Lin Ye, who was describing these magnificent 3D scenes, suddenly paused for a moment.

A drop of crystal-clear water landed on the corner of his mouth, warm and bitter.

Lin Ye turned his head and looked in the direction the water droplets were falling, his gaze unconsciously freezing.

"This world... is so beautiful."

Lin Ye saw the sentence Erii had written in her notebook; the handwriting was blurred because it was wet with tears.

Chapter 22 It's precisely because the world is so kind that I like Erii even more!

[It might be best to listen to "Encounter" while reading this chapter.]

Spring breezes bring good tidings, and flowers bloom on their appointed time.

As long as you hold onto hope, the time for flowers to bloom will always arrive as promised. All the beauty is on the way. As long as you bravely forge ahead despite all the hardships, you will eventually have a grand reunion with that splendid scene.

But for Erii, she might never even get to see this reunion.

People feared her as a monster, and no one dared to approach her. Every time Erii attended a family meeting, she could feel the fear her clansmen had for her; it was the kind of look they gave her as if she were a monster.

Erii sometimes seems dull, like a delicate doll without a soul, largely because she can't express herself. But that doesn't mean she can't think. Erii's mind is always very sensitive. When the wind blows through her hair, she feels the wind is gentle. When the sun shines warmly on her body, she feels that the sun is in a particularly good mood. When others stay away from her, how can she not see their fear of her?

Her brother, Genjiro, the young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, always restrained her in the name of love, creating an exquisite white secret room for her. The man once told her very seriously that only by staying here could she avoid being harmed. So Erii could only obediently stay in this carefully crafted cage for her, even though she could use her judgment to cut open that heavy airtight door at any time, but she never did it.

Because a man's love for Erii, like that of an older brother, is the heaviest shackle in the world, one that even judgment cannot break.

Her brother, Genjiro, is probably the only person in the world who cares about her. If he thinks the world is too dangerous and she shouldn't go out, how could Erii possibly take that step?

When Erii occasionally ran away from home, she didn't dare go too far, afraid that she wouldn't be able to find her way back and that her brother, Genji, would worry. So she could only stay obediently by the traffic lights near Genji Heavy Industries, waiting for her family to come and take her home.

But for Erii, that place was not home at all, but a cage used to imprison her. However, she had to go back, as that was her final destination.

So she will never live to see that grand and beautiful encounter with the world.

Ever since Erii could remember, every morning when she woke up, all she saw was that eternal forest white. It was deathly still, monotonous, and cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation. Genji was worried that her emotions would be affected by what she saw, so he decorated that secret room spotlessly.

But it was only at this moment that Erii truly saw that the world could be so wonderful, so colorful, and so moving.

"Lin Ye, this world... is so beautiful."

Erii's beautiful face was filled with emotion, like a child who had been deaf since childhood hearing the sounds of the world for the first time with the help of devices, or like a blind person who had fallen into darkness seeing the light for the first time.

All the beauty of this world surged forth like a tidal wave, stirring a powerful emotion within Erii.

"The world is so beautiful, why is Erii crying?"

A gentle voice sounded from beside him, and Lin Ye asked.

"Because, because Erii was so moved, Erii had never seen such a beautiful and gentle world."

The girl wrote these words in a small notebook, which became very blurry with tears, and her fair little hands trembled slightly with excitement.

"Silly girl, these magnificent scenes are just 3D simulations, they're not real at all. I'll buy a campervan and take Erii to these real scenic spots to experience them firsthand, okay? If it's okay, Erii can't cry anymore, okay?"

Lin Ye smiled and said to Erii.

He smiled gently, and his words were as light as a spring breeze, yet you could feel his sincerity.

This was actually Lin Ye's true feeling. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely buy a motorhome and take Erii around the world to experience all the wonders of the world.

Traveling the world in a campervan with the girl you love – isn't that every boy's dream?

As it turned out, Lin Ye's words only made Erii cry even more bitterly.

"Yes, yes, Erii is willing to travel the world with Lin Ye."

Her head nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, tears streaming down her face. The girl wrote in her notebook: "Eri wants to travel the world with Lin Ye, but... but this world doesn't like Erii. Many people say that Erii is a monster and should stay in that white cage. My appearance will hurt many people, and it will also hurt this world."

The girl's eyelids were lowered, and although her expression could not be seen, tears fell like crystal pearls, each drop reflecting the girl's sorrowful face.

Overwhelmed by grief, the girl felt as if she were sitting alone on a deserted island, hugging her knees, gradually being swallowed by the tide. No one knew or cared about what was happening.

It has been like this for years. The isolation room where Erii is located is like a white island. In her loneliest moments, Erii would hug her knees and huddle in a corner, looking out at the hazy and unreal world through the porthole.

She was desperate, but who cares what a monster thinks?

"Eri, you're such a fool. It's precisely because the world is so gentle that it loves Erii, who is just as gentle."

Just when Erii was at her saddest and most helpless moment, a slender hand reached out from her side and gently took the girl's hand.

Erii turned her head slightly and saw Lin Ye smiling gently at her.

Erii's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and she murmured unconsciously, "Lin..."

"Be good, listen to me."

Lin Ye reached out and gently wiped away the tear stains on the girl's cheeks. "Who said that Erii, who is so beautiful and gentle, is a monster? Everyone likes you too much to ask."

“But they are all so afraid of me,” Erii wrote sadly in her notebook.

"Afraid of you? Who are you talking about? Are you referring to them?"

Lin Ye pointed to the tourists not far away who were also admiring the spectacular sights of flying over the horizon.

However, these tourists had no interest in appreciating the 3D spectacle from the beginning; they had focused all their attention on Lin Ye and Erii.

Who can ignore beautiful things, especially beautiful love?

Compared to these 3D-simulated virtual scenes, the real focus is on Lin Ye and Erii, this boy and girl who seem like a match made in heaven!

The two, dressed in matching red and white outfits, possessing equally stunning good looks and profound auras, resembled a divine couple straight out of an ancient drama. The boy was a swordsman, and the girl was a shrine maiden from an ancient shrine. They met, got to know each other, and fell in love amidst the snow-covered landscape, as if by destiny. From then on, they lived a beautiful life of farming and weaving, enjoying romantic moments under the moon and flowers.

Many tourists were moved and couldn't help but think of their first love.

They all took out their cameras and started taking pictures, wanting to record the beautiful and youthful romance between the boy and girl. After all, such a beautiful scene should definitely be captured in photos!

"Hello~"

Lin Ye chuckled and waved to the tourists.

Caught off guard, some tourists were taking pictures with their cameras when they saw Lin Ye and Erii looking over at the same time. This abrupt scene made them quickly and awkwardly put their cameras away.

However, they soon realized that the couple wasn't angry at all. Instead, they greeted each other warmly, and the tourists looked over with kind smiles, greeting the two of them with expressions full of envy and sincere blessings.

Many children even pointed at Erii with surprise and kept calling her "angel sister," seemingly hoping that the girl could conjure up sweets like chocolate or lollipops.

One of the little girls, holding an ice cream cone, was shouting the loudest. Perhaps because she had eaten too many sweets, the little girl's front teeth disappeared when she smiled.

"Eri, you see? These people clearly like you a lot. You're not a monster, but an angel sister in the children's hearts," Lin Ye said with a light laugh.

"...Ugh!"

Erii sniffled twice.

She saw it too.

Although none of these tourists spoke, the kindness and smiles in their eyes were the most direct expression of their feelings. How could Erii, with her sensitive heart, not feel it at that moment?

Chapter 23 Erii, don't be afraid, Lin Ye is always here. [Please read on!]

"Damn, the wind's getting strong!"
