The warmth gradually approached the tombstone. Ye Feimo and the woman in white remained standing still, only she walked towards it alone. The surroundings were quiet with no sound other than the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, a fresh scene tinged with solemnity.

The words on the tombstone slowly came into view: 'Tomb of Long Xiushui.'

It was a simple inscription. From the year inscribed, warmth could deduce that Long Xiushui had passed away more than ten years ago; she died when she was four years old by calculation. A frown appeared between her brows.

Despite being dead, there was no photograph on the tombstone, only the inscription.

The lilies were still blooming beautifully, glistening with dewdrops. Warmth thought to herself that these lilies must have been placed by her mother.

Mother came here every year to pay respects to Long Xiushui; it seemed they had a close relationship. Yet on this island, there was only the young girl, and mother hadn't returned home overnight—where did she stay On the island

With such an eerie island, wasn't her mother afraid in her heart

No matter how much she pondered over it, warmth still couldn’t understand. Soon, her attention was drawn to Long Xiushui's inscription on the tombstone. From what was inscribed, Long Xiushui had only lived to be 27 years old; dying so young—was she truly her mother

Suddenly, she felt an intense urge to see what she looked like, to find out if they resembled each other and whether their relationship could be discerned from appearance.

Warmth stood before the tombstone for a long time, then bowed and paid respects to it.

The whole time, Ye Feimo had been watching behind her. His gaze swept around, finally resting on the woman in white. That woman seemed expressionless, merely observing warmth's silhouette without uttering a word. He found very little human emotion on her face.

After the warm ritual, she walked over. Ye Feimo took the initiative to extend his hand, and Warmth held it; he brought her close and whispered, "Are you okay"

Warmth shook her head with a light laugh, saying, "I'm fine."

But her heart felt heavier.

Long Xiushui was dead, cutting off the線索 she wanted to know about. Apart from Du Di, no one else could help her. Only Du Di knew how to assist her and save Feimo. Thinking of Ye Feimo made her palms sweat and her body shiver with cold.

The woman in white walked back, followed by Ye Feimo and Warmth. The first thing that caught their eyes was the blood-red Manjushri flowers. After some thought, Warmth asked, "What's your relationship with him"

"None." The woman in white seemed to know who Warmth was referring to and replied coldly.

Warmth didn't believe her.

If there were no relation, why did she live alone on the island

"Was it you who received my mother every year" Warmth asked again. The woman remained silent, walking ahead gracefully. Her gait was so light that comparing her to a flying swallow would not be an exaggeration. From behind, her white veil fluttered and her black hair waved, making her look extremely beautiful.

Since she didn't answer, Warmth wasn't giving up either. She said to Ye Feimo, "Feimo, I have something to ask her. Could you go ahead for a while"

She did not want Ye Feimo to know about the Long family's matters.

The matter of curses she wanted him even less to know about.

"Is there anything I'm not allowed to hear" Ye Nimo retorted. He wouldn't agree to let Reina stay alone with the woman in white; what if something went wrong

Reina said coldly, "It's about my mother, and I don’t want others to know. But I’ll be fine. Could you wait for me a little bit further ahead"

She practically begged.

Ye Nimo looked at the woman in white then at Reina before nodding his head. He was only willing to step back a short distance; he didn’t want to be too far away, and Reina had to stay within his line of sight or else he wouldn't feel comfortable.

Reina knew Ye Nimo’s worries. Both sides gave in a little bit. Ye Nimo retreated several dozen meters from them, and then Reina asked the woman in white, "What is your relationship with Long Xiushui Or should I say, what’s your relationship with the Long family Are you one of the Longs"

The woman in white gave a strange smile. “Miss Wen, why do you need to know”

Reina shook her head and smiled faintly. "Of course I need to know. Because I’m also part of the Long family. That man is my husband. The Long family’s curse affects him. So I must know how to break it. I thought that Long Xiushui was my only hope, but then I realized she had already passed away. If you’re one of the Longs, surely you would know more about the curse. Could you tell me some more details regarding it"

The woman in white had a pair of eyes just like hers; Reina could only guess that this was the case, and hope for information from her.

When Reina said she was part of the Long family, the woman showed no surprise. Her expression remained as still as ever, which made Reina feel extremely uncomfortable. She didn’t say anything but waited quietly for a response.

The woman seemed to have pondered over something, or perhaps nothing at all before saying, "The curse can’t be broken even if Long Xiushui were alive; she wouldn’t be able to help you."

Reina felt more scared. The woman looked into her eyes and said, “You’ve come to the wrong place. If Long Xiushui could have helped you, why couldn’t she help her own husband Go back now; this isn’t where you belong. Your presence here will only bring bloodshed to the Aegean Sea.”

"I don’t understand!" Reina shouted loudly. "How can you say that my coming here would bring bloodshed to the Aegean Sea What have I done wrong I just want to save my husband. How am I at fault Even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, even if it’s dangerous, I’m not afraid."

The white-robed woman sneered, "Why make it so complicated Just leave him."

Warm was momentarily at a loss. If things were that simple, why would she go to great lengths to come to Athens and risk being discovered by Ye Fei Mo Did she have a death wish

"I don’t believe it, I can’t do anything about it," Warm said solemnly.

The white-robed woman replied, "Believe it or not is up to you. All I can say is that the curse cannot be avoided. Go find the Du family; the Long family is naturally part of the Du family. Stop resisting, the cost is too great."

"If I could divorce him, I wouldn’t have come here," Warm said absent-mindedly, "Why does such a vicious curse exist in this world Why do I believe it Why am I not the daughter of the Wen family Why was I born into the Long family"

She asked several questions in a row, but the white-robed woman remained expressionless.

She simply said, "You don’t have a choice."

Warm knew that was true. She didn't choose to be born into the Long family.

"Are you also from the Long family"
