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

In the dim room, a ray of light seeped out from the old man's palm and slowly flowed into Chu Mengmeng's forehead. Chu Mengmeng felt a warm current flowing through her body, and the power of the artifact that was originally obscure and difficult to understand seemed to become clear at this moment. The old man withdrew his palm and showed a gratified smile on his face, "The power of light has awakened. From now on, you are the only one in the world who can control the 'Heart of Light'."

In the following days, the old man stayed with Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, teaching them how to control the power of the artifact. Xiao Yichen was already gifted, and under the guidance of the old man, he became more adept at using his spiritual power. The golden light transformed into various forms in his hands, and its power doubled. With the help of the old man, Chu Mengmeng gradually mastered the use of the "Heart of Light". The artifact emitted a soft white light in her hand, which could not only heal wounds, but also purify all dark forces.

Although Ling'er is young, she is also full of curiosity about magic. She often imitates her parents, waving her hands, wanting to release her own power. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at their daughter's innocent and lovely appearance, and their hearts were filled with warmth and joy. Xiao Yichen patiently taught Ling'er, incorporating his understanding of spiritual power into simple formulas, and Ling'er also showed amazing talent and quickly learned some simple magic. Seeing their daughter chanting spells in a childish voice, with a faint light flashing on her fingertips, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces were filled with happy smiles.

This period of time was the happiest time for Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen since they came to this world. They stayed away from disputes and enjoyed the rare peace and warmth. However, the gears of fate never stopped turning, and the peaceful life was about to be broken...

"It seems that we should leave." The old man looked into the distance, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"Leaving?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen said in unison, their eyes full of surprise and reluctance, "Where are you going?"

The old man did not answer directly, but took out an ancient jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Chu Mengmeng, "Take it, when you are in danger, crush it, and I will appear."

Chu Mengmeng took the jade pendant and felt a cool touch on her fingertips. She raised her head and wanted to say something, but saw that the old man had turned away, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air, "Child, remember, the gears of fate have begun to turn, and the road ahead needs you to walk by yourself..."

The old man's departure made Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen feel empty. In order to celebrate this rare moment and to dispel the haze in their hearts, they decided to take Ling'er on an outing.

The morning sun shone all over the land, and the fresh air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants. The family of three packed their bags and set off for a valley on the outskirts of the city. Xiao Yichen drove the carriage, and Chu Mengmeng sat beside him holding Ling'er, humming a cheerful ballad. Ling'er looked around curiously, and laughed like a silver bell from time to time.

Arriving at the valley, the scenery in front of us is breathtaking. The green grass is like a huge carpet, dotted with colorful wild flowers, and the clear stream flows happily, as if playing a beautiful piece of music.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Ling'er clapped her hands excitedly, and couldn't wait to rush into this beautiful picture.

Xiao Yichen picked up Ling'er and gently placed her on the grass, "Be careful, don't fall."

Ling'er giggled and ran and jumped on the grass like a happy little bird. Chu Mengmeng looked at her daughter's innocent appearance and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Mengmeng, do you remember the first time we met?" Xiao Yichen walked to Chu Mengmeng and asked gently.

"Of course I remember. At that time, you thought I was..." Chu Mengmeng stopped talking here and blinked playfully, "I won't tell you!"

"You girl, you are still so naughty." Xiao Yichen scratched Chu Mengmeng's nose lovingly, his eyes full of tenderness.

They sat side by side on the grass, recalling every little detail of their acquaintance. From the initial misunderstandings and hostility to the later mutual understanding and love, every memory was precious.

"Yichen, thank you for making me feel at home." Chu Mengmeng snuggled in Xiao Yichen's arms and said softly.

"Silly girl, we are a family." Xiao Yichen hugged Chu Mengmeng tightly, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Ling'er was playing happily on the side, and her laughter echoed throughout the valley, adding more joy to this beautiful moment.

"Daddy, Mommy, look!" Ling'er suddenly pointed at a bush not far away and shouted excitedly, "It seems like something is glowing there!"

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked over and saw a faint golden light in the bushes, flickering like breathing. Curiosity drove them to approach cautiously. After parting the dense branches and leaves, a golden ball lay quietly on the grass, emitting a soft light. It was the one Ling'er had accidentally dropped while playing.

"Huh? Why is it glowing?" Ling'er tilted her head curiously and stretched out her little hand to touch it.

Xiao Yichen quickly stopped her, carefully observing the surroundings, and whispered, "Be careful, there may be something strange around here." Just as he finished speaking, an old voice rang in their ears: "You are finally here..."

The three of them were startled and looked in the direction of the sound, but no one was there. Ling'er hid in Chu Mengmeng's arms in fear. Xiao Yichen protected the mother and daughter behind him and asked in a deep voice, "Who is it? Come out!"

"Haha, don't be nervous, I mean no harm." The voice said with a hint of smile, "I have been waiting here for a long time."

As soon as the words fell, an old man in a gray robe appeared in front of them. The old man had white hair and a youthful face, and was energetic. He held a dragon-headed cane in his hand, and he looked like an immortal. It was obvious at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.

The old man smiled slightly, his eyes fell on Ling'er, and he said kindly: "I am the guardian of this artifact. I am entrusted by an old friend to come and help you."

"Divine artefact? Are you talking about this bead?" Xiao Yichen pointed at the golden sphere on the ground, his heart full of doubts.

The old man nodded and said slowly: "This is not an ordinary bead, but an ancient artifact - the Gathering Spirit Bead. It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and possesses powerful power. But..." At this point, the old man paused and his tone became solemn, "This power is too strong. You cannot fully control it with your current abilities."

"What should we do then?" Chu Mengmeng asked anxiously.

"I will teach you how to use it." The old man said, taking out an ancient book from his arms, "It records the use of the Spirit Gathering Pearl and the method of cultivation. You should study it carefully and remember not to rush."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen took the book and nodded solemnly. Under the guidance of the old man, they began their arduous journey of cultivation. During the day, they practiced magic in the valley, while Ling'er played happily beside them. Her laughter echoed throughout the valley, adding more joy to this wonderful moment. In the evening, they returned home and cooked a sumptuous dinner together. In the warm atmosphere, they felt the warmth and strength of the family.

However, they didn't know that danger was approaching quietly...

"Mengmeng, do you think we can really protect Ling'er?" In the dead of night, Xiao Yichen looked at his sleeping wife and daughter and asked softly.

"Yes, we can do it." Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly, her eyes full of determination.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed outside the window, accompanied by a sinister laugh... Chapter 306: The Warmth of Family

The morning sun shone through the window lattice and fell on the bed of the family of three. Ling'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and called out in a baby voice: "Daddy, Mommy, the sun is shining on my butt!"

Chu Mengmeng was amused by her daughter and gently scratched her nose: "Little lazy pig, do you still want to practice magic with Daddy today?"

At the mention of practicing magic, Ling'er immediately became energetic, jumped out of bed, and urged her parents to get up quickly.

After breakfast, the family of three came to the valley. Under the guidance of the mysterious old man, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen began a day of practice. The power of the spirit beads was stronger than they imagined, and the process of practice was full of challenges.

“You must use your heart to feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and gather it together…” the old man taught earnestly.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen did not dare to slack off and practiced attentively. Ling'er played beside them, sometimes chasing butterflies, sometimes picking wild flowers, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed in the valley.

As the sun sets, the family of three returns home. Xiao Yichen puts on an apron and starts preparing dinner. Chu Mengmeng plays with Ling'er and teaches her how to read and write.

"Mother, how do you pronounce this word?" Ling'er asked, pointing to a word in the book.

"This word is pronounced 'ai'." Chu Mengmeng patiently taught her daughter, "Love is like daddy and mommy, always together, taking care of each other, and never leaving each other."

"Then Ling'er will also be with daddy and mommy forever!" Ling'er happily threw herself into Chu Mengmeng's arms.

"Okay, our family of three will be together forever." Chu Mengmeng hugged her daughter tightly, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.

It was late at night and Ling'er was already asleep. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen sat side by side on the bed, looking at their daughter's sleeping face, their hearts filled with emotion.

"Mengmeng, thank you for giving me a home." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Me too, thank you for making me feel the warmth of home." Chu Mengmeng leaned her head gently on Xiao Yichen's shoulder.

Outside the window, the bright moonlight falls on the windowsill, as if coating this warm picture with a layer of silver glow.

"No matter how many difficulties we will encounter in the future, as long as our family is together, nothing can stop us from moving forward." Xiao Yichen looked out the window with a firm look in his eyes.

Suddenly, as if he realized something, he stood up abruptly and looked out the window sharply.

"What's wrong?" Chu Mengmeng also noticed something was wrong and asked nervously.

Xiao Yichen did not answer, but walked quickly to the window and pushed it open.

Outside the window, the originally peaceful night sky was now covered by a dark cloud. In the dark cloud, countless pairs of scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen...

"Not good!" Xiao Yichen's face changed drastically, and he said in a deep voice, "They are coming..."
