Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Donghai asked, “What about Mr. Deng?”
Yu Huang turned around to look at Yu Donghai. She said, “Father, do you really not remember Deng Weidong?”
Yu Donghai’s eyes flickered slightly.
Yu Donghai thought about it carefully for a very long time, but he still didn’t have any impression of him, so he said, “I don’t remember seeing that young man on the bus a few decades ago. This isn’t a big deal, right?”
After he finished speaking, Yu Donghai saw Yu Huang’s gaze suddenly become fierce, and he realized that he might have missed something.
Yu Huang stared at Yu Donghai and slowly said, “You once worked in the kitchen of His Highness the Prince’s army. At that time, the chef was surnamed Deng. Coincidentally, his child was the young man I had met once, Deng Weidong.”
“Father, although you’ve never seen Deng Weidong’s child, you actually know him.”
“The chef’s child wasn’t an ordinary person. He had actually awakened his beast form. Father, when you called me, you even reminded me to take care of that child and help him if I met him.”
“How could you forget such an important thing?”
When he heard this, the smile on Yu Donghai’s face suddenly faltered. His expression was unfathomable as he said, “Oh really?”
“Yes, but it was such a trivial detail that I almost forgot. I think this illusion must have been constructed according to my memories and ideals. And the things that left a deep impression on me appeared in my illusion.”
“Deng Weidong was the first person I met when I awakened the Eternal Eye. That’s why I still have Deng Weidong in my memory. The person who created this illusory world must have secretly seen my memories, so he gave Deng Weidong an ident.i.ty. However, he didn’t expect that there was another connection between me and Deng Weidong.”
“If I hadn’t talked to you about Deng Weidong at dinner tonight, I would have forgotten that you told me to take care of him on the phone.”
Yu Huang’s gaze became cold as she said, “Father, how could a compa.s.sionate person like you not remember that the chef who had taken good care of you had a son who was a beast tamer and wasn’t an ordinary person?”
Hearing Yu Huang’s question, Yu Donghai was momentarily speechless.
On the other hand, Sheng Xiao was still trying to cover up the lie. He said, “Father-in-law just got revived not long ago. Perhaps his memory hasn’t fully recovered. Believe me, there’s really something wrong with you. This world is the real one.”
Sheng Xiao tried to make Yu Huang believe that everything he said was true.
“Shut up!” Yu Huang scolded Sheng Xiao. She said, “You’re not Sheng Xiao. The Sheng Xiao I love would never force me to believe in something. If he wanted me to believe in something, he would help me retrieve my memories and let me choose what to believe in. He wouldn’t force me to believe in something, like what you’re doing now!”
Faced with Yu Huang’s doubts, Sheng Xiao appeared very sad and his dark eyes were filled with anguish.
However, Yu Huang would never be moved by the feelings of a puppet.
Yu Huang stood up and said firmly, “The world here seems very wonderful and blissful, but that world filled with regret and parting is the world that I truly belong in.”
Yu Huang took one last look at the ultrasound report in her hand. She tore it up without hesitation. She knew that all of this was fake, but when she tore the ultrasound report, she still felt heartache and reluctance.
The instant Yu Huang tore apart the ultrasound report, Yu Donghai suddenly cried out in pain. His body actually turned into pieces that floated into the sky.
He stretched out his disappearing right arm and made a begging gesture at Yu Huang as he shouted in pain, “Save me. Are you going to watch me disappear again?”
As Yu Huang looked at Yu Donghai’s increasingly transparent body, she said with tears streaming down her face, “Father, you will always live in my heart…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Huang summoned the Xuan Yu Sword without hesitation and slashed Yu Donghai’s body into pieces.
“Ah!”
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, Yu Donghai’s body completely transformed into ashes and disappeared from the world.
After glancing at the ashes that filled the sky, Yu Huang looked down at Sheng Xiao. She raised the sword in her hand resolutely to stab Sheng Xiao.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Even if this is an illusory world, it will exist forever as long as you want it to.”
“Your father can live forever and marry the woman he loves. Our friends and I will always be with you. Even the survivors of the Earth’s apocalypse that you miss so much will live forever in your small world.”
“Isn’t that good?” Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang gently and said, “If you insist on going back, have you ever thought that you and your friends might die in the Kunlun Mystic Realm? Even if you’re lucky enough to leave the Kunlun Mystic Realm alive, the future is still filled with danger and countless unknown possibilities.”
“And this world is the ideal perfect world.”
Sheng Xiao smiled gently at Yu Huang. “Stay behind and protect this perfect world with me.”
When Yu Huang heard Sheng Xiao’s words, she was very tempted.
But…
What was fake was destined to be fake.
Yu Huang closed her eyes and said, “Don’t even think about trapping me here with a beautiful illusion! All of this is fake! I choose to leave this perfect world and return to my original world!”
With that, she stabbed the Xuan Yu Sword into Sheng Xiao’s heart. Just as her sword was about to stab into Sheng Xiao’s heart, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, “Have you never suspected that the illusion is an illusion, but I might be the real Sheng Xiao?”
“Aren’t you worried that Sheng Xiao will die if you stab me?”
Hearing this, Yu Huang wavered. The Xuan Yu Sword that was about to stab Sheng Xiao’s body suddenly stopped in front of him.
Seeing this, ‘Sheng Xiao’ smiled again. “Then why don’t you guess if I’m real or not?”
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, “I slept with Prime Emperor Zhe An.”
‘Sheng Xiao’ looked stunned and angry.
Just as he revealed this expression, Yu Huang suddenly exerted strength and pierced Sheng Xiao’s heart.
After Sheng Xiao’s heart was pierced, his body turned into ashes and rose into the sky as Yu Donghai did. Before he completely disappeared, Sheng Xiao asked curiously, “How can you be so sure that I’m not Sheng Xiao?”
Yu Huang smiled indifferently and didn’t explain.
Yu Huang had heard Sheng Xiao mention the grudges between him and Ze’an in their previous life.
Jing Huang married Ze’an in order to steal Yu Aofeng’s Monster Core. After knowing the truth, Yu Aofeng felt heartbroken and pity for Jing Huang. How could he be angry?
