Chapter 1123: Orphans Because of the War
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“No, wait.” Lu Shu was dumbfounded. He had thought that Tong Zi Gong was simply a myth. He did not expect it to actually exist! But there was a problem. “I have no intention of offending you. I just want to ask something. Did your father still have his vitality when he pa.s.sed on? Are you his biological child…”
“That’s right…” Wen Zaifou was dumbfounded as well. He seemed to have realized a blind spot he had overlooked for thousands of years. “d.a.m.n!”
“From Wen Zaifou’s distress, +999!”
Wen Zaifou’s father was famous for his strength in the Luniverse. Back then, the Luniverse was very chaotic. Pract.i.tioners would do anything to compete for inheritance and training resources.
Thus, when Wen Zaifou was a young child, his entire family had perished. He had survived because he was hidden in a well.
In the same year, he met the old King of G.o.ds. Then, he accompanied the old King of G.o.ds to fight in the war.
Wen Zaifou knew that most of the people who accompanied the old King of G.o.ds were orphans. They had been taken in and were carefully nurtured by the old King of G.o.ds. As the teacher of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers, he also knew that 90% of the Imperial Dragon Soldiers were orphans as a result of the war.
Many felt that the old King of G.o.ds was cruel, as he had killed many people. Only Wen Zaifou felt that this was not the case.
Back then, Wen Zaifou was still young. The old King of G.o.ds brought him to the bridge that extended from his hometown. The bridge was very long. The old King of G.o.ds’s tall figure slowly walked in front, while the young Wen Zaifou followed closely behind him.
Before they crossed the bridge, Wen Zaifou suddenly cried. He said that he had not taken revenge. Back then, he had thought that since the old King of G.o.ds was so powerful, he could help him to take revenge.
Then, the old King of G.o.ds turned and said, “It is only satisfying when you take revenge yourself, but it is a small matter in the long path of life. In the future, if there is no one else like you, you can follow me to unite the Luniverse.”
Then, the old King of G.o.ds asked him, “Are you willing to do so? If not, you can turn back now. I will destroy this bridge once you go back.”
Wen Zaifou did not hesitate. He followed the old King of G.o.ds.
But after so many years, Wen Zaifou had not considered something. It was correct that his vitality would be preserved, but his father did not tell him how long it would be preserved for…
However, this also seemed to be the reason why Wen Zaifou focused on training. Thus, he had his achievements of today.
Lu Shu suddenly felt that he could sympathize with Wen Zaifou. Back then, when he was troubled over the fact that he could not open his Sea of Chi and snowy mountain, he had experienced a similar fate… heh heh.
At that moment, Wen Zaifou casually asked, “I saw some brothels on television. Are there any nearby?”
That night, Yu Fuyao and Wen Zaifou disappeared. Lu Shu knew where Wen Zaifou had went, but why had Yu Fuyao disappeared as well?
But Sakurai Yaeko did not care about where they had gone. On the contrary, she was very happy. She pulled Lu Shu’s sleeve and ran on the streets of Sapporo. She ran towards the Sapporo TV Tower.
The Sapporo TV Tower was 147 meters tall. There was an observation deck, 90 meters above ground. One could see almost all of Sapporo from the deck.
At night, Sapporo became even more bustling. The bright lights were like the tourists and pa.s.sers-by. They were rich and intense.
Sakurai Yaeko happily leaned on the railing. “Lu Shu-kun, how pretty would it be if there were fireworks?”
The TV tower was pitch black, but outside the tower was a bright world. It was as if the two of them were alone. Even the world was silent.
At that moment, a ray of light lit up the darkness. The red light, which rapidly ascended into the sky, was like a current in the night. Even their spirits were lifted.
The entire Sapporo saw the fireworks. Everyone turned to take a look. Then, the firework exploded with a bang.
The light from the fireworks lit up the faces of Lu Shu and Sakurai Yaeko. Sakurai Yaeko happily smiled. “What a coincidence!”
It seemed like as long as your wishes were sincere, the world would fulfill these wishes.
Fireworks flew into the air, turning the Sapporo sky into a beautiful light show. Sakurai Yaeko jumped up and down excitedly. “Lu Shu-kun, thank you for watching the fireworks with me. Who is behind these fireworks?”
“Lu Shu-kun… don’t forget these fireworks. Look, they are so pretty. So don’t ever forget them.”
Don’t forget me who watched these fireworks with you either.
The fireworks show ended. Sakurai Yaeko’s expression was once again hidden in the darkness of the TV tower.
There was a kind of loneliness that could be healed by seeing the happiness of others. You could hide in the corner and silently watch them. As long as they were happy, you would feel some warmth as well.
Motegi Tos.h.i.+mitsu, who was wearing a windbreaker, stood beneath the fireworks and looked up in the sky. “I’m jealous.”
When she thought about the heart of a young girl hidden in the fireworks, Motegi Tos.h.i.+mitsu felt that she had turned younger.
“Leader, what do we do next?” Someone asked.
“Let’s pack up and retreat,” said Motegi Tos.h.i.+mitsu with a smile.
Wen Zaifou and Yu Fuyao sat beside each other on top of the Sapporo TV Tower.
Yu Fuyao looked at the observatory deck below them. She casually said, “Enjoy these pleasant moments while you can.”
Wen Zaifou furrowed his eyebrows. “What are you planning to do… older sister.”
“It’s been a long time since I heard that name. Back then, when you were taken away from the well, I was forgotten in the ruins. I crawled out of the ruins. My body was covered in blood.” Yu Fuyao said, “He might have thought that I was dead. You all thought that I was dead. Even I thought that I should have been dead.”
“You are the eldest son and a direct descendant. I am the daughter of a slave. We were different even when we were born.” Yu Fuyao’s expression was slightly trouble. “I have followed him for many years, hoping that he will look at me. But he didn’t.”
Wen Zaifou suddenly said, “You know him.”
“Yes, I know him. I know him better than all of you.” Yu Fuyao sighed. “That’s why I waited. But all I experienced was despair.”
“Isn’t it good now?” Wen Zaifou furrowed his eyebrows. “I hope that you will not do anything out of the ordinary.”
Yu Fuyao laughed. “What, are you afraid because you know that you cannot defeat me?”
“So what if I can’t defeat you?” Wen Zaifou proudly said, “Not everything in this world is determined by strength. What are you planning to do?”
Yu Fuyao laughed. “He should go back. The Luniverse without him is far too lonely.”
“What if he doesn’t want to go back?” Wen Zaifou furrowed his eyebrows.
“If I can’t get it, no one else can.” Yu Fuyao jumped down from the TV Tower. Her clothes fluttered in the wind. It was like a sad song in the night.
