Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl

"Zzz—"

Again, the sound of flesh tearing.

This time, the bullet pierced through Ye Wanlan's left chest.

That is where the heart is.

"Xiao Wan!"

"Xiao Lan!"

"Ah Lan!"

Everyone turned furious, their cries were heart-wrenching.

Lou Susu's heart trembled violently: "Could it be... that in the end, everything still has to..."

If she knew that in the universe, there was another Ye Wanlan, she certainly would have planned more thoroughly.

"Oops, accidentally pierced the heart." Lan Wanye feigned surprise, "But the heart is shattered, the person is dead, yet there's still the soul, don't grieve too early."

She laughed, then pushed the long spear a few inches deeper into Ye Wanlan's body and started to slowly rotate it.

The pain of her heart being crushed made Ye Wanlan's vision plunge into darkness instantly.

She wasn't someone who wasn't afraid of pain; rather, she had long grown accustomed to pain, used to enduring it.

She could die, but she must die with value.

To be killed by another version of herself was indeed beyond her expectations.

Ye Wanlan felt like she was a stone sinking into the sea, continually descending, unable to surface.

"Sister."

At this moment, someone called her by her ear.

Who?

"Sister, sister..."

One call after another, penetrating the soul, reaching deep into the heart.

A very familiar voice, a very familiar tone.

Long, long ago, there was always someone who called her like this.

It was her...

Ye Wanlan suddenly opened her eyes, and a familiar face appeared before her.

Yet it was still unfamiliar to her.

Because when she died in her second life, her sister was still young.

But now the face she saw had shed all its greenness and naivety, becoming mature.

"Xiao... Xiaoqing?" Ye Wanlan still uttered this name, "How come, you..."

Her sister, why would she appear here?

"Sister." Si Fqing said softly, "I know you didn't die, I've been looking for you all along, you absolutely cannot fall here, this is the principle you taught me."

Ye Wanlan was stunned, then chuckled softly: "Indeed, you remember very clearly, but sister... after all, is not invincible."

She had weaknesses, and not small ones.

"No, sister, you are the strongest." Si Fqing declared every word clearly, "Unparalleled in the world, you are one and only, no one is you."

Ye Wanlan's mind shook: "No one is me."

"You saved my life." In the darkness, Si Fqing grabbed her hand, and forcefully pushed her upwards, "This time let me protect you, sister."

"Boom!"

Ye Wanlan's consciousness suddenly returned, and her vision brightened once more.

Only then did she realize that what she saw was merely Si Fqing deep within her soul.

The severe pain still came from the heart, Ye Wanlan lowered her head, only to find no wound on her left chest.

A faint white light flowed out from her body—no, accurately, from her soul, repairing the fatal injuries.

Not only were the wounds recovering, but the strength she had consumed was also returning.

Ye Wanlan could surely feel that the power pulling her back from the brink of death was from Si Fqing?

Reversing life and death was the most difficult thing.

She should have died, but her sister saved her life.

"Impossible!" Lan Wanye was shocked for the first time seeing Ye Wanlan unharmed, "Why aren't you dead?"

That strike, not to mention just emerging as a Time Traveler Ye Wanlan, even a novice Time Controller would be erased.

Ye Wanlan gently touched her heart, she smiled, but tears fell: "Because, my sister is still alive, and she is now strong enough to protect me."

"Si Fqing?" Lan Wanye's eyes turned sharp in an instant, like she realized something, her voice trembled, "Ah, she actually split off a wisp of Divine Soul to hide within you!"

As soon as this name was mentioned, apart from Lou Susu, everyone else was quite puzzled.

Even if they could hear the name "Si Fqing" paired neatly with "Ye Wanlan," they all stemmed from one phrase—

To reverse the tipping tide, to uphold a crumbling edifice.

And initially, Xiang Lan's "Lan" came from the idiom "Turning the tide."

Si Fqing's name seemed like it was given by Ye Wanlan.

"Everyone already knows, there are many Earths, and they are the most likely places for core opposing worlds." Lou Susu said in a deep voice, "But no matter how many Earths exist, they ultimately develop in technology, failing to become a more advanced world."
