Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Love him?" Chu Mengmeng was stunned, a blush appeared on her fair cheeks, her eyes flickered, and her heart was beating like a deer. This sudden question made her a little overwhelmed, but soon, Xiao Yichen's figure occupied her mind.

"I..." Chu Mengmeng bit her lower lip, struggling internally. She had never thought about this question before, nor had she ever faced her feelings so directly. Silence spread between the two of them, and Bai Guang seemed to sense Chu Mengmeng's inner struggle, quietly waiting for her answer.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, as if she had made an important decision. She slowly raised her head, looked firmly at the white light, and said word by word, "I love him more than I love myself."

The white light trembled slightly, as if responding to her determination. The figure sighed softly, with a hint of relief in his tone: "Child, you finally understand."

"What do you understand?" Chu Mengmeng asked, her heart full of doubts.

"The answer you are looking for has always been in your heart." The white light flickered, and the soft light fell on Chu Mengmeng, as if to dispel the fog in her heart. "Only the power of love and faith can truly awaken the artifact."

Love and faith? Chu Mengmeng murmured to herself, her thoughts returning to the moment she met Xiao Yichen. She still remembered his gentle smile, his warm embrace, and every moment he shielded her from the wind and rain. Those details that she had once ignored now appeared in her mind very clearly, turning into a warm current that warmed her cold heart.

"Child, do you still remember why he became like this?" Bai Guang's voice brought Chu Mengmeng back to reality, but it also revealed the scar in her heart that she was most reluctant to touch.

"He was trying to protect me..." Chu Mengmeng's voice choked, tears blurred her eyes again. She would never forget the scene when Xiao Yichen risked his life to save her and was eventually eroded by the power of darkness.

"Yes, he is willing to give everything for you." Bai Guang's voice was a little sad, "And you are the key to awakening him."

Chu Mengmeng raised her head abruptly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, and said in a firm tone: "I am willing to pay any price, just for him to wake up!"

"Very good." The white light seemed satisfied with her answer, and it became brighter. "Child, remember, love is the most powerful force in the world. It can overcome all darkness and create miracles."

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, suppressed all the sadness and fear in her heart, and looked at the white light firmly, waiting for his instructions. The white light slowly rose, outlining a strange pattern in the air. At the same time, a deep voice sounded in Chu Mengmeng's ears: "Child, feel it with your heart, and use your love to wake him up..."

Chu Mengmeng closed her eyes and focused all her attention on the strong love in her heart. A warm and powerful force surged out of her body, following the direction of the white light, and slowly flowed towards the sleeping artifact...

"Yi Chen, wait for me..."

"Yi Chen, wait for me..." The tears in Chu Mengmeng's eyes turned into a resolute light before they fell. She tightly grasped the glowing stone, and her heart beat with the rhythm of the white light.

"Child, drop your blood on the stone and guide it with your love, then you can awaken the artifact." The voice of Bai Guang echoed in her ears, carrying divine guidance.

Chu Mengmeng bit her finger without hesitation, and the bright red blood dripped onto the stone and was instantly absorbed. The stone emitted an even brighter light, illuminating the entire cave. Chu Mengmeng closed her eyes, pouring all her thoughts and love into them.

"Yi Chen, can you feel my heart? Come back, come back to me..." Her voice was trembling a little, but full of unspeakable determination.

As she called out, the light on the stone became stronger and stronger, gradually forming a ball of light that enveloped Chu Mengmeng. She felt a powerful force flowing through her body, the power of love and hope, enough to dispel all darkness.

At this moment, a chilly aura suddenly descended, and the temperature in the cave dropped sharply. Chu Mengmeng opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a tall black figure appear at the entrance of the cave, emitting a suffocating dark aura.

"It's you!" Chu Mengmeng recognized him. He was the mysterious figure who had fought with Xiao Yichen before, and the culprit who caused all these tragedies.

"You want to stop me? Don't even think about it!" Chu Mengmeng roared, and the ball of light in her hand became more dazzling, like a star about to explode.

"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" The mysterious figure sneered, with a fierce look in his eyes, "You think you can awaken the divine weapon? Wishful thinking!"

He raised his hand suddenly, and a black lightning struck Chu Mengmeng directly. At the critical moment, the white light turned into a barrier to block the attack.

"Kid, concentrate on the ceremony, leave this to me!" Bai Guang's voice was a little weak, and it was obvious that he had consumed a lot of energy in the previous battle.

Chu Mengmeng knew that now was not the time to hesitate, she had to complete the ritual as soon as possible to wake up Xiao Yichen. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused all her attention on the ball of light in her hand.

"Yi Chen, I love you, come back..." Her voice echoed in the cave with a heart-wrenching call.

The light ball became brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the entire sky. The mysterious figure's face became extremely ugly. He attacked the white light frantically, but was unable to break through its defense.

"Damn it! How could this happen!" He roared, but there was nothing he could do.

Just then, two figures rushed in from the cave entrance.

"Mengmeng, hold on!"

"We must not let him succeed!"

It was Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen! Although their injuries had not healed, they tried their best to buy time for Chu Mengmeng...

"Mengmeng, hold on!" Xiao Yichen's voice was hoarse but firm, as if it came from the distant sky, penetrating the heavy fog and reaching the depths of Chu Mengmeng's heart.

Chu Mengmeng suddenly looked up, and through her tearful eyes, she saw Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen standing side by side at the entrance of the cave. Although their figures were a little shaky, their eyes were extremely firm.

"Yi Chen!" A warm feeling surged in Chu Mengmeng's heart, as if she saw a ray of light in the endless darkness.

"We must not let him succeed!" Bai Chen's voice was weak but full of power. In his hand, he held a long sword that emitted a faint white light. The sword was trembling slightly, as if responding to his master's determination.

When the mysterious figure saw the two people who suddenly appeared, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes, "You overestimate your own abilities!" He roared, gave up attacking Bai Guang, and turned to pounce on Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen.

"Just go away, don't worry about me!" Chu Mengmeng shouted anxiously. She knew that in Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen's current state, they were no match for the mysterious figure.

"Fool, what nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Yichen's lips curled up into a gentle smile. He endured the severe pain in his body, waving the sword in his hand, and met the attack of the mysterious figure.

Bai Chen was not to be outdone. The sword in his hand turned into white light and wrapped around the mysterious figure like a snake, trying to stop his actions.

However, the mysterious figure was too powerful. Even though Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen tried their best, they were still unable to withstand his attack.

With a loud "bang", Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen were both blown away, falling heavily to the ground, spurting blood from their mouths.

"Yi Chen! Bai Chen!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were bloodshot and her heart was broken. She wanted to rush over desperately, but was blocked by the barrier formed by white light.

"Child, don't be distracted, complete the ceremony quickly!" Bai Guang's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of anxiety.

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in her heart, and focused all her attention on the ball of light in her hand.

"Yi Chen, for you and for our child, I must succeed!" Chu Mengmeng swore silently in her heart, and the ball of light in her hand emitted an even brighter light, like a star about to explode.

When the mysterious figure saw Chu Mengmeng was about to complete the ceremony, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he frantically attacked the barrier formed by the white light, trying to stop Chu Mengmeng.

However, everything was in vain. Driven by the power of love, Chu Mengmeng successfully awakened the artifact.

"boom!"

A dazzling light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire castle and dispelling all the darkness.

The mysterious figure was shocked by this powerful force. He raised his head in horror and looked at the light rising into the sky, his eyes filled with disbelief...

The dazzling light was like the rising sun, dispelling the darkness that had been lingering over the castle for a long time. The warm light sprinkled in every corner, dispelling the fear in people's hearts. The mysterious figure looked at the rising light in horror, feeling an unprecedented sense of oppression, a tremor from the depths of his soul. He wanted to escape, wanted to avoid the dazzling light, but his body seemed to be nailed down and could not move.

"Now!" Bai Chen's weak voice sounded, but with unquestionable determination. He struggled to stand up, and the long sword in his hand once again shone with dazzling light, illuminating his resolute face.

Xiao Yichen also endured the severe pain in his body, clenched the sword in his hand, and walked towards the mysterious figure step by step. His eyes were full of anger, but more of worry for his lover and friends.

"Mengmeng, step back and leave this to us!" Although Xiao Yichen's voice was weak, it was full of power.

Chu Mengmeng knew that now was not the time to show off her strength, so she held the artifact tightly in her hand, looked at Xiao Yichen and Bai Chen worriedly, and retreated step by step to a safe place.

"You ants, how dare you..." The mysterious figure stopped talking because he felt a powerful force coming towards him.

Bai Chen and Xiao Yichen launched the attack at the same time. The two rays of light intertwined together to form a huge light net that enveloped the mysterious figure.

"Ah!" The mysterious figure let out a painful roar. He struggled frantically, trying to break free from the light net, but to no avail.

"Darkness will eventually be swallowed up by light!" Bai Chen's voice echoed in the castle like a loud bell. The sword in his hand shone brightly, and rays of white light pierced the mysterious figure like sharp swords.

"No! I will not lose! I am the embodiment of darkness, no one can defeat me!" The mysterious figure roared unwillingly, but his voice became weaker and weaker, and his body gradually became transparent.

At this moment, Chu Mengmeng suddenly felt a violent vibration coming from the artifact in her hand. She looked down and saw that the artifact was emitting a dazzling light, and the center of the light was...
