Chapter 5: Traveling Through Time and Space
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Although Mr. Qin was reassuring his daughter, the worry in his eyes betrayed his true emotions. He was only acting calm and cool because he saw that his wife was feeling anxious.
After all, their beloved daughter’s trip this time had a different significance as compared to all of her previous trips.
“Dad, Mom, don’t worry. With my abilities, there’s no need to fret at all. Just imagine that I’m going for a short, leisurely trip.”
Qin Yiling looked relaxed and untroubled, even smiling without a care. But that was only because she felt that it wasn’t as if they would never see each other again. Plus, she was capable of protecting herself, so there was no need for such a sorrowful goodbye.
Besides, her personality was never the soft and sensitive kind, nor the kind who always cried easily over anything.
‘Four… three…’
Upon hearing the countdown, Mrs Qin’s expression immediately tensed up. She stopped nagging and quickly stuffed the string that tied the four suitcases together into her daughter’s hands.
“Hold on tight!”
Seeing her mother’s expression, Qin Yiling understood that it was time. She held tightly onto her suitcase with her right hand and with her left, the rope which her mother had put into her hand.
She decided that if it made her mother happier and more at ease, then she should carry all the suitcases along even though it would be more tiring.
Alas, things didn’t go as planned!
The next second, she disappeared right in front of her parents, but the four leather suitcases remained where they were.
“…”
The couple was dumbfounded.
Their daughter had managed to leave with her own suitcase, so why was it that only the suitcases they had packed for her were left behind?
Could it be that the time tunnel even had restrictions according to who the items belonged to?
After a brief silence, Mr Qin comforted his wife. “It’s fortunate that Duo Duo could take her own suitcase with her. Don’t worry, with our daughter’s resourcefulness, she will have food and water wherever she goes.”
At this point, Mrs Qin could no longer help no matter how worried she was. She could only leave it to her daughter to do her best.
Since that man already knew their daughter and had ties with her, now that she dreamed of him being in danger, they couldn’t possibly make her leave him in the lurch, right?
If he was really their daughter’s destined partner and they didn’t help him, wouldn’t that mean that their daughter might never come to have another lover and companion in her lifetime?
Just the thought of that itself seemed miserable.
As for why they hadn’t gone with her, it was simply because they had their own commitments and obligations in this world too, and it wouldn’t be good if all of them disappeared.
Moreover, every world had its own rules. The couple did not want their presence to be a variable that might alter their daughter’s fate.
Therefore, it was better for Duo Duo to investigate the situation first, then if it was possible, their family would definitely travel through the time tunnel to visit her in her other world at a later date.

China ’46, November 26, 5: 20 pm.
All Qin Yiling felt was streaks of white light flashing past her eyes, then in the blink of an eye, her floating feet had landed on the ground, and her surroundings had changed in that instant.
She knew that she had already passed through the time tunnel and arrived in a completely unfamiliar world.
However, when she finally took in her surroundings, she couldn’t help but complain.
“What! Don’t tell me I was brought to some godforsaken place?”
What kind of miserable place was this!
