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

After bidding farewell to the residents of the castle, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen followed the instructions in the letter, headed west, and finally arrived at a hidden valley.

The valley is surrounded by towering peaks, and the valley entrance is covered by dense vines. If you don't look for it deliberately, it is difficult for ordinary people to find this isolated pure land. When you step into the valley, the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, the sound of birds singing is melodious, and the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming mottled light and shadows on the ground.

"It's so beautiful here!" Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and felt refreshed.

Xiao Yichen looked around and frowned slightly. He keenly felt that there seemed to be a mysterious and powerful force hidden in this quiet and peaceful valley.

They followed a winding path deep into the valley, and soon they saw a simple wooden house. In front of the wooden house, a white-haired old man was sitting on a bluestone with his eyes closed, and beside him was a walking stick with ancient runes carved on it.

"Excuse me, old man." Chu Mengmeng stepped forward and asked softly, "Excuse me, who are you..."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashed in his cloudy eyes. He looked Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen up and down, and slowly said: "You are finally here, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion. They had never seen this old man before, so why did he say "I've been waiting for a long time"?

The old man seemed to see their confusion. He pointed to the wooden house and motioned them to come in and talk.

The wooden house was simply furnished with only a wooden table and a few chairs. The old man motioned for them to sit down, then slowly revealed his identity.

"My name is Xuanjizi. I am the guardian of this valley and also the guardian of the divine weapon."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were shocked when they heard this. They didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary old man was actually the key person in guarding the artifact!

Xuanjizi told them that the artifact was not a weapon for conquest and destruction, but its true power was to protect and create. He handed Chu Mengmeng an ancient scroll, which contained the ultimate secret of the artifact...

Chu Mengmeng slowly unfolded the scroll and her eyes fell on the words on it. Suddenly, she felt a roar in her mind and a powerful force surged into her body...

"This..." Chu Mengmeng raised her head in astonishment and looked at Xuanjizi.

The old man smiled slightly, pointed to the misty mountain in the distance, and said in a deep and distant tone: "The real answer is right there..."

Chu Mengmeng looked in the direction of Xuanjizi's finger. The misty mountain seemed to contain endless secrets, attracting her to explore and unravel them. She clenched the scroll in her hand, and a warm current spread from her palm to her whole body. She seemed to feel the artifact calling her.

"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yichen noticed that something was wrong with Chu Mengmeng and asked with concern.

Chu Mengmeng turned to look at Xiao Yichen with a firm look in her eyes: "I understand, I finally understand the true meaning of the artifact! It is not a weapon for conquest and destruction, but for protection and creation!"

Xiao Yichen looked at Chu Mengmeng's determined eyes, and his heart was filled with emotion and relief. He knew that Chu Mengmeng had found her answer and their common goal.

They said goodbye to Xuanjizi and returned to the castle. The residents of the castle cheered and surrounded them to ask about their experiences. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen did not hide anything and told everyone what they saw and heard and their feelings about the artifact without reservation.

"The power of the artifact should be used to protect peace, not to pursue power!" Chu Mengmeng's voice was clear and firm, echoing above the castle.

The residents of the castle were shocked by Chu Mengmeng's words, and they began to reflect on their past actions. Yes, they have been fighting for power all the time, but have ignored the value of peace.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen decided to share the power of the artifact with everyone so that everyone could feel the power of peace and happiness. They built an altar in the center of the castle and placed the artifact on the altar. The artifact emitted a soft light that enveloped the entire castle.

The residents bathed in the light of the artifact felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility and peace. The hatred and greed in their hearts gradually dissipated, replaced by a desire for peace and hope for the future.

“This…” Feeling the wonderful changes happening in their bodies, the residents showed expressions of disbelief. They had never thought that the power of peace could be so strong!

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen smiled at each other. They knew that they had successfully passed on the power of the artifact to everyone and brought true peace and happiness to the castle. And this was just the beginning...

The peaceful light lasted all night. The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight fell on the castle, the residents were surprised to find that the castle seemed to have changed quietly during the night.

The walls were covered with unknown vines and colorful flowers. The cold stones seemed to be infused with life and exuded a warm atmosphere. The fountain in the center of the castle had clearer water, jumping happily and playing a happy movement.

People were pleasantly surprised to find that the barren land had become fertile, and the seeds they had planted had taken root, sprouted, and grown vigorously at a speed visible to the naked eye. The fruit trees were full of heavy fruits, exuding an enticing aroma.

"This is all the power of the artifact!" an old man said excitedly, "It not only brings us peace, but also brings us hope and abundance!"

The residents cheered and thanked Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. They realized that it was the kindness and selflessness of this young couple that brought them all this.

In a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen decided to hold a wedding and become husband and wife under the witness of the artifact.

On the wedding day, the castle was decorated especially beautifully. Flowers covered the roads, ribbons fluttered in the air, and festive music echoed in the castle. The residents spontaneously organized themselves to prepare for this grand wedding.

Chu Mengmeng, wearing a white wedding dress and a flower crown, walked slowly towards the altar accompanied by her maids. The sunlight shone through the stained glass windows, casting colorful shadows on her body, reflecting her happy smile.

Xiao Yichen was handsome and tall in a white suit, his eyes full of love for Chu Mengmeng. He looked at her affectionately, waiting for her to come to him.

Under the witness of the artifact and with the blessings of the residents, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen made a vow of love and exchanged rings. Their love story has become a legend in the castle.

"Mengmeng, are you willing to marry me and be my wife? No matter we are rich or poor, sick or healthy, you will stay by my side for the rest of my life?" Xiao Yichen asked affectionately, looking at Chu Mengmeng with burning eyes.

"I do." Chu Mengmeng's voice was gentle and firm, with tears of happiness flashing in the corners of her eyes.

As the sun sets, the golden afterglow falls on the castle, bringing this grand wedding to a perfect end. But the story of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen has just begun... The noise of the wedding gradually fades away, and Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen walk hand in hand in the castle garden filled with moonlight. The moonlight gently falls on them, as if covering them with a layer of veil, adding a bit of sweetness and warmth.

"Yichen, do you think we will continue to be happy like this in the future?" Chu Mengmeng snuggled up to Xiao Yichen and asked softly, her tone containing a bit of girlish shyness and longing for the future.

"Yes, we will be happy forever." Xiao Yichen looked down at Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of doting and determination. He gently held Chu Mengmeng in his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

The days after marriage were peaceful and sweet. The changes brought by the artifact continued. The castle was full of vitality, and the residents lived and worked in peace and contentment, with happy smiles on their faces. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's family also welcomed a new member, a beautiful baby.

Chu Mengmeng, a new mother, held the child in her arms awkwardly, her eyes full of love. The child's little hands waved unconsciously, occasionally grabbing Chu Mengmeng's fingers, and the soft touch made Chu Mengmeng's heart almost melt.

"Mengmeng, look, he's smiling!" Xiao Yichen looked at the child, his face showing undisguised joy. He gently took the child from Chu Mengmeng's hands, holding him and coaxing him skillfully, his movements as gentle as if he were treating a rare treasure.

The family of three basked in the sunshine and enjoyed the quiet happiness.

However, there seemed to be a lingering undercurrent of uneasiness beneath the peaceful life. Deep in the forest outside the castle, a few low roars of animals occasionally broke the tranquility of the night. Some timid animals began to flee the forest and migrate to further places.

That night, Chu Mengmeng coaxed the child to sleep. When she was about to fall asleep, she suddenly heard Xiao Yichen standing by the window, looking at the dark forest in the distance, and whispered: "The weather is going to change..."
