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

The warm sunshine sprinkled on Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, dispelling the gloom of the past few days. They returned to the castle hand in hand, holding the glowing treasure box tightly in their arms. In the treasure box, the dark power that they sealed with their lives and love was sleeping.

"They're back! The heroes are back!" The guards on the city wall were the first to spot them, and their excited voices resounded through the sky.

The news spread quickly throughout the castle. Residents flocked to the streets to welcome their heroes with the warmest cheers and applause. The innocent smiles of the children and the grateful eyes of the elderly warmed Chu Mengmeng's heart.

"We did it..." Chu Mengmeng's eyes were slightly red. She turned to look at Xiao Yichen beside her, a happy smile on her face.

Xiao Yichen gently held her hand, with a hint of determination in his gentle eyes, "Yes, we did it. But this is not the end, but a new beginning."

They passed through the cheering crowd and came straight to the ancient temple in the center of the castle. Inside the temple, the white-haired wise man had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you for your hard work, children." The wise man looked at them kindly, his eyes full of admiration. "You have successfully defeated the darkness and brought long-lost peace to this continent."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen solemnly presented the treasure box, "Please keep this treasure and protect this hard-earned peace."

The wise man slowly opened the treasure box, and a powerful force instantly filled the entire temple. He frowned slightly, and his expression became solemn.

"This power..." The wise man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Although it has been sealed, the power of darkness is still strong. It may awaken again..."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were shocked. They knew that this was the beginning of their real test...

"Squeak--" The door of the temple was gently pushed open, and a childish voice rang out, "Dad, Mom, when will you come home?"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other with firm and calm eyes.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were startled. They understood that this was the beginning of their real test.

"We are willing to stay and protect this treasure and the peace of this continent." Xiao Yichen said firmly.

Chu Mengmeng also nodded solemnly, "We will definitely do our best to prevent the darkness from coming again."

The wise man looked at them with satisfaction. These two young men possessed courage and sense of responsibility that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

"Good children," the wise man nodded, "I will pass on all I have learned throughout my life to you to help you better control this power."

From then on, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stayed in the castle, guarding the treasure box day and night, and studying hard to completely eliminate the dark power and eliminate future troubles. They knew that the power of the two of them alone was far from enough, so they began to train soldiers, teach them combat skills, improve the castle's defense capabilities, and prepare for possible future battles.

"Dad, Mom, when will you come home?" A childish voice interrupted their thoughts.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at the lovely child in front of them, their hearts filled with tenderness.

"Baby, we have to train soldiers now to protect everyone. After the training is over, we will go home." Chu Mengmeng said to the child gently.

The child nodded as if he understood, turned and ran towards his playmates, his clear laughter echoing in the training ground.

Looking at the child's innocent smile, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were filled with hope. What they wanted to protect was not only this continent, but also their children, and the future of all children...

As the sun sets, soldiers sweat profusely on the training ground, and in the distance, a small figure is waving a wooden sword, imitating the soldiers' movements, and shouting in a childish voice: "Hey!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five years have passed. The child who waved a wooden sword and imitated the soldiers in training has now grown into a lively and lovely boy. His name is Xiao Nian. He inherited his father's handsome eyebrows and mother's smart eyes. When he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are curved, as if he can dispel all the haze.

Over the past five years, the castle has been peaceful and tranquil under the protection of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. They have gradually channeled the power of the sealed treasure box to strengthen the castle's defense barrier and teach the soldiers more powerful combat skills. The once weak soldiers have now grown into a brave and combat-savvy army that is capable of protecting the peace of this land.

At sunset, on the training ground, Xiao Nian was practicing swordsmanship with the soldiers. He was agile and his swordsmanship was sharp, much like his father. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood on a high place, watching their son's high-spirited appearance, with gratified smiles on their faces.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Nian'er has grown up so much." Chu Mengmeng sighed with a hint of emotion in her tone.

Xiao Yichen gently put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Yes, our Xiao Nian has grown up, and it's time to think about his future."

"Hmm..." Chu Mengmeng gently leaned on Xiao Yichen's shoulder, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction. Over the years, they not only protected the peace of this continent, but also had a warm home and a lovely son. What could be more worthy of cherishing than this?

However, the gears of fate never seem to stop turning. Just when everything seemed calm, Chu Mengmeng suddenly had a strange dream. The dream was chaotic, with only a vague voice echoing in her ears:

"Time is running out...Darkness is about to fall again...Greater challenges are yet to come..."

The voice was hollow and eerie, with a chilling chill. Chu Mengmeng woke up suddenly, with cold sweat on her forehead.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Yichen and her son who were sleeping beside her, feeling uneasy. Was this just a dream? Why did she have a strong premonition that this dream seemed to indicate something...

Chu Mengmeng gently stood up, put on her coat, walked to the window, looked out at the quiet night sky, and had a lot of thoughts in her mind. At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind her...

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Xiao Yichen had woken up at some point, walked to Chu Mengmeng, and gently embraced her in his arms.

Chu Mengmeng told Xiao Yichen about the dream, with a hint of uneasiness in her tone: "Do you think something is going to happen?"

Xiao Yichen frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Dreams are illusory, so don't take them too seriously. However, we can't let our guard down. The castle has been peaceful over the years, so maybe it's time to step up our guard."

Chu Mengmeng nodded. She also felt that they should prepare for a rainy day. So, early the next morning, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen gathered everyone in the castle and told them the prophecy they heard in the dream.

At first, people were skeptical about this prophecy. After all, they had been living a peaceful life for the past five years and had never encountered any threats. However, when they saw the serious expressions of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, they knew it was not a joke.

"Although we don't know what will happen in the future, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Chu Mengmeng swept her eyes across the crowd with determination, "Starting today, we must intensify our training, increase our vigilance, and be prepared to face all challenges!"

Xiao Yichen also added: "That's right, we must believe that as long as we unite as one, no difficulties can stop us from moving forward!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's words ignited the fighting spirit in people's hearts. They all said that they would go all out to protect their homes.

In the following days, the entire castle entered a state of intense preparation for war. Soldiers trained day and night to strengthen their combat skills; magicians stepped up their research on more powerful magic arrays; even ordinary residents spontaneously organized themselves to learn some simple self-defense techniques.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were not idle either. They exerted the power of the sealed treasure box to the fullest and continuously strengthened the castle's defensive barrier. At the same time, they were also actively looking for the source of the mysterious voice in the dream, hoping to crack the secret behind the prophecy.

As the days passed, the predicted "darkness" had not yet arrived. The people in the castle gradually relaxed their vigilance, and life seemed to have returned to its former tranquility.

However, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen always felt a little uneasy in their hearts. They knew that the arrangement of fate would not be so simple. The real challenge might have just begun...

One evening, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen stood side by side on the highest observation deck of the castle, looking at the blood-red setting sun in the distance, with a myriad of thoughts in their minds.

"Do you think we really need to leave here?" Chu Mengmeng suddenly asked, with a hint of hesitation in her tone.

Xiao Yichen held her hand tightly and said firmly: "If that is the guidance of fate, we should face it bravely."

Chu Mengmeng turned to look at him, her eyes full of trust and dependence. Yes, no matter what the future holds, they will face it together.

Suddenly, in the distant sky, a meteor streaked across the night sky...
