Chapter 293: First Meeting (1)
And after Sakura finished her work in the medical class, she was able to go home and rest for a rare time.
Just looking at the dark house without a light, Sakura always felt that things were too strange recently. If her mother was not at home, it would be understandable, after all, most of the ninjas in the village were on missions now.
But Dad wasn't home either... How could an ordinary person not be home at this time? Did something happen?
Thinking of this possibility, Sakura anxiously opened the door. The house was pitch dark and there was no sound. She glanced around and found nothing amiss. There was no smell of blood in the air... It was just too clean.
Sakura turned on the lights in the house and walked towards the kitchen. There was nothing on the floor, and there was nothing in the refrigerator except for some non-perishable frozen foods and some seasonings.
"Are there no vegetables or fruits..." Generally speaking, there will be more or less vegetables in the refrigerator at home. If there are no vegetables, it means that you know you will be traveling far away and will not return home, so there is no need to put extra fruits and vegetables.
When Sakura saw that the range hood was clean and tidy without any oil stains, she became more certain of her guess.
But where did Dad go? Maybe I was just overthinking it... Maybe I'll know when Mom comes back?
Thinking of this, Sakura could only go upstairs to her room, tidy up and wash up, then lie down on the bed, and fall asleep the next moment.
------
Sakura vaguely came to a strange place. The familiar yet strange feeling made Sakura suddenly remember the conversation she had heard before.
Is it from the depths of my heart? Probably not...
But where?
Staying where she was was not a good option, but it seemed that only the ground beneath her feet was solid, and it was pitch black all around, without any light at all. After thinking it over again and again, Sakura decided to walk in one direction.
Tick, tick...
As I got closer, I could clearly hear the sound of water dripping, crisp and pleasant, and especially beautiful in this silent space.
A door appeared in front of Sakura. On the door was a pattern Sakura had never seen before. When she saw the door, she had an inexplicable feeling.
Open or not? The inexplicable throbbing made the hand that was originally on the door press the pause button.
But if it is not opened, perhaps this place will become a kind of bondage, and the truth will always be just one step away...
But if you open it...
Sakura took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door. As the door opened, the cold wind blew the hair around Sakura's ears and made her body shiver.
------
After being in darkness for a long time, Sakura closed her eyes unconsciously the moment she saw the light.
"You, finally came."
Sakura subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, slowly opened her eyes, and couldn't help showing a look of confusion when she saw the scene in front of her.
What came into view was a raging snowstorm. In the center was an ice-carved throne, with a person sitting on top.
A woman with a cold voice and beautiful appearance.
Sakura couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
The woman stopped talking and just looked at Sakura quietly.
The next moment, Sakura's body involuntarily moved closer to the woman, and she stopped when she was one meter in front of the woman.
Sakura looked at the woman carefully.
That oval face was small and delicate, with clear eyebrows and eyes as cold as stars. Her long white hair was not affected by the snowstorm, but was instead draped behind her head obediently. In contrast to the white hair, her skin was frighteningly white, and the coldness that emanated from her bones seemed to penetrate Sakura's body.
The two stared at each other for a long time, and Sakura spoke, "Does my bloodline come from you?"
The woman leaned back on the throne, looking very lazy. It took her a long time to say these few words to Xiaoying, "I guess so."
After hearing the woman's answer, Sakura hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Why? Why me?"
The woman slowly stretched out her thin, white fingers and gently supported her head. "Because someone wants to see me."
Sakura frowned slightly at this irrelevant statement, but the woman's emotions did not fluctuate at all, which made her a little unpredictable.
Seeing Xiaoying's silence, the woman showed some interest, "Don't ask?"
