Seeing his own country’s troops, Min Liang slightly relaxed. As long as he could go home, he could make a comeback. He was confident in himself, believed he could do it.
So he mutely said, “I need to get the antidote myself. Let me go, and I will give you the antidote!”
He dared to be this confident also because of Mo Linyuan’s actions these few days. If not for loving a person so deeply, how could Mo Linyuan come to attack Li Country so quickly? Since Mo Linyuan cared, he must be uncompromising so that he could leave with his life intact.
Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes. That fierce murderous look almost made Min Liang suffocate!
But after a long time had passed, he suddenly said, “Alright, I accept!”
The two armies were poised for battle now, and Mo Linyuan wanted to give the culprit to Li Country? This time, not only Mo**’s squadron, even Yan Country’s people also revealed displeasure.
“Don’t!” A high-ranking officer under Mo Linyuan stopped him. “Your Majesty, this person is ruthless and cunning, if we return* him, there will be more trouble!”
*t/n: he uses 放虎归山 which means letting the tiger return to the mountains.
Yan’s general also said, “The five countries’ alliance this time—we were all deceived by this person. His ambition is clear, tried in vain to conquer the world. All the six countries are injured now, only Li Country is unscathed. If we let this person go, we will be the ones in danger!”
Min Liang wore white clothes stained with blood. Even in Mo Linyuan’s clutch, he was still smiling coldly. He narrowed his eyes as he said, “Mo Linyuan, the final say is in your hands now. This drug actually has no solution, but it was developed by my master. My master is now dead, so now only I know how to solve it! So what are you hesitant about?”
Mo Linyuan certainly wouldn’t hesitate. He little by little loosened his grip on Min Liang.
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a female’s voice was heard. Ye Mu walked up to the front step by step. At this moment, she was thinner than before, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
“Alright.” She reached Mo Linyuan’s side, and Mo Linyuan immediately turned around, but his hold on her hand was gentle.
Before, Ye Mu didn’t feel she was poisoned because Min Liang had been giving her drugs, making her body weak and paralyzed, so she didn’t know she was drugged.
But these few days, Min Liang no longer gave her drugs. She finally felt the change in her body. This world’s drugs and her world’s were different. It could make her body suffer from so much pain. She might only be able to live by continuously taking medicine. But she knew better than anyone the consequence of continuously taking medicine.
So Ye Mu raised her head to look at Mo Linyuan. Her eyes were filled with sorrow.
“This drug has no antidote. He’s lying to you.”
Min Liang didn’t expect Ye Mu would be the one to interrupt in the end. He coldly smiled. “Do you not want to live anymore? Or are you afraid Mo Linyuan will release me, so you purposely said there is no antidote?”
Earnestly, Ye Mu said, “In this drug, there is something that makes people addicted. All that makes a person addicted don’t have an antidote unless it’s endured or by continuing to take medicine.”
Min Liang was dumbfounded in his heart. Only Li Country had this drug right now, how could Ye Mu know so much?
Ye Mu continued, “With my body right now, after eating it I’ll at most be fine for a short while, but will only get worse later. It won’t be long before I only walk the path toward death, so…”
She grasped Mo Linyuan’s hand. “Kill him. We’ll think of another way for my problem, okay?”
Mo Linyuan’s heart ached. If there was another way, why would he have come this far?
Min Liang was terrified. He was thrown to the side by Mo Linyuan, but did not dare to act rashly.
“Mo Linyuan, you won’t really listen to her nonsense, will you? The thing I made myself, how can there be no antidote?”
Mo Linyuan gazed at Ye Mu, not speaking.
Min Liang stayed calm as he retreated a few steps. In a loud voice he said, “If you want her to live, I am your only option!”
Tears fell from Ye Mu’s eyes. She leaned against Mo Linyuan’s embrace. Voice muffled, she said, “Husband, I’m a little tired.”
Her saying tired made Mo Linyuan’s heart ache so badly that he couldn’t stand it. Seeing his own plan could no longer be carried out, Min Lian suddenly turned around and used qinggong to quickly flee in the direction of Li**’s squadron.
At this moment, both sides were the main forces that were holding the lines. So long as he moved a little quicker, he could live!
As long as he could go back, everything was not over yet, he had not lost!
Seeing Min Liang act as such, Li’s general hurriedly sent someone to help him, but in the split second when Min Liang was about rush into Li**’s squadron, Mo Linyuan waved his hand. A swift dagger passed through the gap between several people and plunged into Min Liang’s back!
His face still held joy and anticipation, but that expression was doomed to freeze at that moment.
Following Min Liang’s crash to the ground, both groups were stupefied. Without waiting for Li’s general to say anything, Mo Linyuan hugged Ye Mu as he said, “Lieutenant*, listen to my command.”
*Mo Linyuan uses 左将军 (zuo jiang jun) which literally translates to Left General. It’s among the three highest senior positions, ranked second. The first being 大将军 (Big General) and the last 右将军 (Right General).
The high-ranking officer that stopped Mo Linyuan earlier stepped forward. “Here!”
Mo Linyuan’s voice was very light. “This sovereign will give you a month’s time to wipe out Li Country. Can you do it?”
That general looked at Mo Linyuan’s extremely pale face and felt sorry for him.
“This subordinate will not let Your Majesty down!”
After that, both parties started fighting. Mo Linyuan had carried Ye Mu home. He didn’t wear any armor and only wore a white long gown. At this moment, the long gown lifted from the wind, and there was an indescribable silence.
Ye Mu was asleep, but Mo Linyuan knew, she was weak to the extreme. If this was fate, he did not believe it. He must fight it!
Afterward, Mo Linyuan fed Ye Mu medicine to make her sink into a deep sleep. When Ye Mu woke up, she found she was already in Mo Country’s imperial palace!
What was going on?
The moment she woke up, Mo Linyuan grabbed her hand. Ye Mu wanted to speak at first, but she suddenly felt queasy inside, making her whole person curl up!
Mo Linyuan didn’t tell her anything about the war. He stretched out his hands and lightly held her in his arms, her body curved from pain.
“Mu-er, don’t be afraid, I’ve found a way to save you!”
Ye Mu looked at him weakly. If he’d found it, why hadn’t he saved her? She was in pain, every minute she was in pain!
Mo Linyuan also lost weight with her. He said in a deep voice, “The poison has seeped into your blood vessels. I found someone who said they can give you an exchange transfusion, but—”
Mo Linyuan didn’t say the rest. In modern times, exchange transfusion of the whole body was very difficult, much less in this period?
Ye Mu eased up after a long while, her body slowly relaxing. When she had calmed down, she saw Mo Linyuan’s bloodshot eyes and her heart ached.
He asked, “Are you willing to try?”
Feeling her weak body, Ye Mu knew she would surely die if she agreed to the exchange transfusion. But at this moment, she said without a second thought, “I’m willing.”
Her words made Mo Linyuan who had been hesitating finally become determined and decided on the transfusion.
Ye Mu sank into a deep sleep once more.
After Ye Xiaolang heard the news, he unheedingly looked for Mo Linyuan!
“Aji, you really want to exchange transfusion?!” He was flustered. “That physician from Yue Country is like a lunatic. You want to listen to such a person?”
Even Ye Xioalang knew, Ye Mu’s time was limited now. When she awakened she would suffer from the poison, but with a long time of deep sleep, she might die from being weak!
But this was better than being strongly tormented before dying!
Hearing that person said exchange transfusion, special catheters had to be inserted into over a hundred acupoints of the person. With Ye Mu’s current body, wouldn’t she die right then and there?
But Mo Linyuan had made up his mind. In his thinned face, only his eyes shimmered with light. He covered his chest and word by word said:
“I will not let her die.”
Seeing he couldn’t persuade him, Ye Xiaolang could only give up. After all, he knew well, that as long as Aji wanted to do something, xiaojie would have already agreed.
On the day of the transfusion, Ye Mu drank a big bowl of ginseng soup. Although she threw up more than half, she looked better than usual.
She saw a beard so long, a rather unkempt uncle, and also the many people helping him, as well as some strange equipment and tubes. Those tubes, would they be using them on her body?
Although Ye Mu forced herself to smile in front of Mo Linyuan, she knew the best about her body’s condition. Even if she didn’t do an exchange transfusion, she wouldn’t live more than two days, so today, the probability of her surviving on the bed was close to none!
This might be her last time seeing Mo Linyuan! She gripped his hand tightly, not willing to let go.
Mo Linyuan sat by her side, expression gentler than ever.
“Don’t be afraid, you will be fine.”
Ye Mu forced a smile. She’d used up her strength. “Husband is really good, to meet you and marry you.”
Mo Linyuan’s dry eyes gradually became red. He suppressed his emotions, saying nothing.
Ye Mu lightly smiled. Tears streamed down the corner of her eyes. “Too bad.”
“Too bad what?”
“Too bad I haven’t left a child for you.”
The matters afterward, Ye Mu was not aware. She didn’t know if the transfusion had started, didn’t know that her body was too weak that it couldn’t bear it from the start.
In the end, the bearded man shook his head. “It’s useless, she can’t endure it, she’ll die.”
In Ye Mu’s dying breath, she heard Mo Linyuan’s faint voice.
“Continue. Even if she has died, don’t stop.”
And then, something was squeezed into her hand. A trembling kiss fell on her lips.
“Xiao Mu-er, I will always wait for you. You’ll come back, right?”
These words were like a curse, resounding again and again beside Ye Mu’s ear.
The thing in her grip gradually became burning hot. And then, her body became light, very light. When she opened her eyes, she saw a nurse.
“You finally woke up!” A beautiful nurse reassured her. “I was just about to call you. The surgery will start soon. You look so tired, can you really do it?”
Ye Mu still hadn’t come to her senses, but her body subconsciously said, “I can. Let’s start.”
And then she was pushed to the operating room.
After injecting anesthesia, she should be fast asleep, but her head was incomparably clear. She knew she was in the process of having a bone marrow transplant, and also knew the target was her father suffering from leukemia, but so many memories surged in her mind.
She fell in love with a man that wasn’t here, much much in love. In the end, that man sent her back himself.
Ye Mu used great effort to recall that person’s face, but couldn’t. Every time she did, it was white clothes, a pair of stunning phoenix eyes. It was as if he was smiling, but she couldn’t remember most of his features.
In her muddled condition, she was sometimes distinctly awake, sometimes in a deep sleep. Finally, the surgery was over.
It was said the patient received it well, the body did not give any rejection. But the follow-up conditions still needed to be observed. This period of observation was at least six months.
At this moment, Ye Mu was separated by thick glass and looked inside. It was as if she hadn’t seen her dad in a very long time. She didn’t know when his hair had all gone white. With a breathing mask, his weak look was just like when she was dying from the poison.
She suddenly thought of this. She suddenly felt frantic, and then she turned away and ran outside!
“Hey, wait! Where are you going?!”
The nurses chased after her, but how could they catch up to Ye Mu? Although she was wearing a hospital gown, she was not sick.
She went back home at her fastest speed. After she got home, she was still quite in a daze looking at the small house in front of her, and then she rummaged through her room!
That biography book? Where was that book full of his biography?!
She’d loved someone. That person’s name, she at least had to know!
Finally, she found that yellow biography. Fingers slightly trembling, she opened the book.
It was still the beautiful writing. She sat on her bed, flipping through each page. Then, she saw his name. Mo Linyuan, Mo Linyuan.
Ye Mu understood some of her missing memory. She had to retrieve them. Maybe all those memories would be recalled soon, but she missed him so much, so she couldn’t wait even a moment.
Soon, she finished reading the biography book. Her finger traced again and again over the section where Mo Linyuan died of illness at the age of forty-odd. She didn’t know when she started crying.
It was difficult to imagine. That person with unmatched beauty, that wise man, was her husband. But why did he die so early, was it because of her?
The missing memories were coming back little by little, but at this moment, Ye Mu closed the biography and decided on a plan.
She wanted to go back, she wanted to go back to that man’s side!
Days passed, but Ye Mu didn’t report back to the army. It was impossible for someone like her to go against the superior’s orders, but Ye Mu had a reasonable reason. She wanted to stay and accompany her father.
After Ye Zhende woke up, seeing his daughter still by his side, he was very surprised because since she became part of the special forces, his daughter had always been busy. She had countless tasks, her youth and life were all to serve the country.
Seeing her father awake, Ye Mu quickly brought water up to his lips. “Dad, drink water.”
At this moment, Ye Zhende was already moved out of the special ward. His recovering condition was also not bad. He couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Mu, you asked for leave?
Ye Mu was struck dumb. She shook her head. “Dad, are you hungry?”
Ye Zhende sighed. “Don’t feel like eating right now.”
Since he said so, Ye Mu didn’t force him. Although a few days had passed, she knew her father’s digestive function still had not recovered.
Seeing Ye Mu not speaking again, Ye Zhende forced a smile. “Xiao Mu, you were quite lively when you were a child. The more you grew up the more serious you became. Does the army not let you smile?”
Hearing this, Ye Mu smiled quite sheepishly. She remembered she was still lively in the other world, but once she got back to this body, she could feel the sense of mission and naturally couldn’t relax and smile.
She couldn’t help saying, “No, the army is very good. The superiors look after me, the new recruits under me also listen well.”
“Then why are you frowning?”
Ye Zhende suddenly asked, “Actually, I wanted to ask a few days ago. Xiao Mu, you have something weighing on your mind?”
Ye Mu stopped her action of placing the glass. She wanted to say it later, but she didn’t expect her father was so sharp. She sighed in her heart, better to say it now.
“Dad, I want to retire.”
Ye Zhende was stupefied. “Why? You’re still so young. Although it’s the special forces, your work right now isn’t very dangerous. Why do you want to retire? Have you forgotten the effort you’ve put into kung fu before you finally got selected?
Ye Mu naturally knew the energy she’d spent away that time, but, her heart currently belonged to someone. A caring person was not sharp anymore. It was time for her knife to withdraw.
“It’s okay, anyway there’s so much conscription every year. Having me or losing me isn’t a big deal, I’m just afraid my superior will not agree. What if you help me call them, dad?”
Ye Zhende seriously looked at her. That face that lost weight was very sharp.
“Xiao Mu, tell me honestly, what is your reason to retire? If you can convince me, I’ll help you make this call.”
Ye Mu couldn’t help but smile. “If you really want to know, then I’ll tell you. I, your daughter, want to marry.”
Ye Zhende was dumbfounded. “Which soldier have you seen?”
It was no surprise Ye Zhende asked this. Ye Mu’s training was closed, and only a few people would be with her when she went out to do missions. If she wanted to marry, her partner should be among them.
Ye Mu thought of Mo Linyuan. She pursed her lips into a smile. Although she still didn’t remember his appearance right now, she knew he was exceptionally outstanding.
“Your daughter wants to marry a sovereign, and he is very handsome and rules the world. Most importantly, he really loves me!”
If it weren’t because he knew his daughter’s psychological quality was perfect, he would doubt whether Ye Mu was crazy or not right now.
“Sovereign? Which country’s?” Which country’s monarch would be very young? And with Ye Mu’s identity, it was impossible for her to come into contact with other countries. Dad Ye was confused.
Ye Mu was forced to an answer to this point. She had no choice, she just had to say it.
“Ai, I didn’t want to say it, I wanted to wait until you get better, but dad, since you keep asking, I also can’t hide it from you. It’s like this, I’ve married, but, I didn’t marry a modern person. I married an ancient person.”
Ye Zhende was muddled. Ancient person?
“Dad, are you with me?”
Ye Zhende felt weirder the more he listened. He furrowed his brows. “Xiao Mu, what are you saying?”
Ye Mu didn’t care whether he could understand or not, and continued.
“Dad, you might not believe it, I’ve crossed worlds before, like in movies. From now, I crossed to the ancient times.”
Ye Zhende suddenly doubted if his daughter had gone mad. How else could she say this?
But before he could say anything, Ye Mu continued. “I’m not lying to you. Everything I said is true. Dad, don’t interrupt me. Just listen until I’m done.”
Maybe it was because Ye Mu was too calm and didn’t look like she was not in her right mind, but Ye Zhende forced himself to hear Ye Mu until the end.
From her crossing worlds and rescuing a person, until obtaining the City Boundary Map and coming back.
This was a very long story. Ye Mu talked the whole afternoon before slowly coming to an end.
Ye Zhende was completely dumbfounded. He had never heard of such a fantastical matter before, so hearing this, he felt it was unfathomable.
But although this matter was absurd, he kind of believed it because he knew his daughter. His daughter couldn’t make up this kind of story, much less use this kind of story to lie to him.
But there was still a small doubt. He asked, “What about the evidence? You said you brought the map back here. The map should still be here, right?”
Ye Mu shook his head. “Just like when I went, I didn’t bring anything. When I came back, there was nothing too. And I’ve spent so much time there, but only passed the time for sleep here.”
Ye Zhende couldn’t help but say, “Maybe it was just a dream?”
Ye Mu suddenly pressed her lips and didn’t speak.
Ye Zhende had a bad feeling. “You’re not going to look for him, are you? Xiao Mu, even if what you said is true, you’re back now. He’s also been dead for many years!”
Ye Mu looked at her father’s anxious face and couldn’t bear it. Her father was her motivation to come back, and now, she wanted to leave because of a man? That was rather too unfilial.
So she didn’t say more. Anyway, her father would be hospitalized for six months, she also hadn’t found a way to go back. And if she had, she wouldn’t say it first. Even her heart kept resounding with Mo Linyuan’s last words:
“I’ll wait for you to come back.”
But at this moment, she didn’t say anything.
“Okay dad, don’t think too much. Just focus on recovering. Right now, your health is the most important.”
She changed the subject and resolutely said, “But I want to retire. I’ll have to trouble you to speak with the army about this.”
Because it was hard for the country to train a commando. It wasn’t like if you asked to retire then you’d retire. But luckily her father had a reputation in the institution, so he could help her.
Seeing Ye Mu had made up her mind and was faced with this kind of situation, Ye Zhende also didn’t dare let his daughter go into the army anymore. Although his daughter had a dangerous occupation, not once was Dad Ye this scared, scared that she wouldn’t come back after leaving again.
This matter then was settled. Ye Mu didn’t go back to the army and focused on taking care of her father. And father’s health also didn’t disappoint, getting better each day.
One day, Ye Mu said happily, “The doctor said you’re recovering really well. If you don’t have any relapse in five years, you should be fine.”
Ye Zhende smiled, but his face still carried a worried look.
“Xiao Mu, when you went to the army last time, did they tell you anything?”
Ye Mu shook her head. “No, why do you ask?”
Ye Mu said, she was very clever in the army, so although her superiors strongly urged her to stay, seeing that her mind was set, they gave up. The men she led outside actually cried a lot and said when they had their vacation, they would come see her. But this group of special forces, when would there be an official vacation?
She told them to work hard and then left with ease.
Ye Zhende listened and was relieved in his heart.
“It went well, that’s good. Xiao Mu, if you have nothing to do these days, go out less. You can accompany me and talk with me.”
Remembering they weren’t able to get together much in the past many years, Ye Mu nodded. “Alright! After you’re discharged, I’ll make you food at home!”
Ye Zhende was elated.
At night, Ye Mu was hungry in the middle of the night. She looked at Ye Zhende who was sound asleep on one side and gently got out of bed. After she left the room, the entire corridor was empty. It was truly scary.
Ye Mu prepared to go to the 24-hour convenience store outside the hospital to buy some snacks, but when she was about to get off the elevator, a shadowed figure suddenly pounced on her!
Ye Mu’s reaction was fast. She quickly buckled the other’s hands behind their back, and the two people tumbled into the elevator!
“Who are you? Why did you attack me?”
Ye Mu pushed the other party against the elevator’s mirror. That person was a man she didn’t know. At this moment, he was glued onto the elevator, but smiled at her as he said, “Ye-xiaojie really has a bad memory. Did you forget snatching the cargo from me a few months ago?”
Ye Mu frowned. “You’re a pirate?”
At this moment, the elevator’s doors suddenly opened, and the other person fought back, separating from Ye Mu.
“I came just to tell you, don’t touch things you shouldn’t touch! I’ll give you three days to hand over that thing, otherwise, your father has to be careful!”
After saying that, he ran. Ye Mu didn’t chase after. It was useless to capture a person who delivered a message and tested her skills.
But, hand over the thing? How could she not remember taking their thing?
This person who appeared suddenly made Ye Mu anxious and she made a few phone calls. Although she had left the army, she still had connections.
The other party was rather slow in picking up the phone.
“Who?”
“It’s me, Ye Mu.”
The other party’s casual voice became lively at once. “Ye-xiaojie, what do you need calling at this time?”
Ye Mu asked, “A few months ago, didn’t I arrest a pirate and hand over the cargo to the higher-ups? I didn’t check carefully last time, can you help me check right now what’s inside the cargo?”
This request was a little bit too much, but the other party didn’t hesitate the least bit and went to check. A moment later, he told her, “It’s a fossil, an iron meteorite, and some illegal weapons. Someone did illegal research and these things were mixed with narcotics and were together transferred to the higher authorities.”
Ye Mu felt strange. “Then when those pirates were interrogated, they didn’t say anything?”
The other party went to check for her again, then lowered his voice.
“The details of the interrogation are a secret. I’ll tell you, but you must not tell anyone.”
He looked at the contents and it was as if he wanted to smile. He suppressed his smile and told her, “Among the group of people who were arrested, there were a few who did research. They said they had discovered a substance that can make people extend their lives, but the radiation of that thing is too strong and is not permitted into the country. So they took a risk and also said we have to return their research results to them. It’s said to be a small tube of drug. Extremely small, the size of a finger.”
Ye Mu suddenly widened her eyes.
If it was that thing, she she had an impression!
That time, she first tracked down a historical relic that was about to be shipped out of the country. That biography book was among them. Later, on the way back, she smoothly tracked down illegal cargos that were about to sneak into the country. That time, they had a fight with the pirates.
During the fight, she stretched her arm out to grab an old man who was about to dive into the water to escape, but who knew that old man’s kung fu was good, though was still not as good as hers, and was caught by her. In haste, he grabbed a syringe and plunged it into her neck!
She thought it was anesthetic and didn’t think about it much because the instant she was pierced, she felt dizzy. But she still didn’t let go of that old man and succeeded in apprehending him. But regretfully, it seemed he killed himself in the prison.
Now thinking back, the drug that old man injected her seemed to be the thing they were looking for!
But after being injected, she didn’t feel anything wrong. She had gone to the military doctor to check, and the doctor also said her body was fine, there was no problem.
Or it could be said their research was already successful. After injecting that thing, besides being able to extend life span, there was no other effect.
Ye Mu still felt odd after hanging up the phone, but right now she was being eyed. She was fine, but her father was still here, so Ye Mu gave a call to her superior, applying for protection.
With her father’s military merit, the superior immediately understood the situation and said would send people to head over to protect him.
But Ye Mu didn’t tell the truth. She only said they were eyed by a terrorist and needed help.
As for the drug problem, she felt she should carefully check her blood again.
On the other side, the other world.
Ye Mu had successfully done the blood transfusion, but injecting the new blood was useless because Ye Mu had become a living corpse.
Mo Linyuan watched Ye Mu who was in a deep sleep. It had been over a month. He kept watch over her every day, hoping she would come back, but unfortunately, she didn’t.
Her breathing was in its dying thread. No matter the imperial physician or the monk and Taoist priest, they couldn’t reverse the situation.
An old monk had said before, Ye Mu’s soul had left. Her soul had left. How could she wake up? She might keep being in an eternal sleep until the moment she died.
That monk indeed wasn’t exaggerating. Ye Mu kept being in a deep sleep and couldn’t eat. Even if Mo Linyuan fed her ginseng soup every day to suspend her life, it wasn’t a long-lasting plan.
At this moment, Mo Linyuan held her hand. Inside the resplendent palace, there were only the two of them. There was only the flickering of the brightly lit candle.
“Xiao Mu-er, I’ll be leaving.”
This time, he came to say goodbye.
Because a Taoist priest told him, that as long as he accomplished the fate he was bound to, maybe this person with destiny would wake up.
And his fate, wasn’t it what Ye Mu said, ruling the world?
Mo Linyuan still remembered, Ye Mu said he was a legendary emperor*. Then, when he became a legendary emperor, would she come back?
*t/n: 千古一帝 (qian gu yi di) – I translated it to legendary emperor but it’s a title for an emperor who has done unprecedented achievements.
This was a very uncertain hope, but Mo Linyuan still gambled. Besides, Min Liang had stirred this world into a complete mess now. If he wanted to obtain this world, it was easy, but what he needed was time.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring Ye Mu with him, but her body did not permit it, so, he came to say goodbye and lightly sealed a kiss on a section of her lips.
“I’m leaving.”
His cheeks that had thinned down looked quite frightening, his eyes were also bloodshot, but his expression was determined!
“I’m leaving, I’ll accomplish my destiny. I hope when I come back, you’ll wake up, okay?”
