Yu Donghai asked, âWhat about Mr. Deng?â
Yu Huang turned around to look at Yu Donghai. She said, âFather, do you really not remember Deng Weidong?â
Yu Donghaiâs eyes flickered slightly.
Yu Donghai thought about it carefully for a very long time, but he still didnât have any impression of him, so he said, âI donât remember seeing that young man on the bus a few decades ago. This isnât a big deal, right?â
After he finished speaking, Yu Donghai saw Yu Huangâs gaze suddenly become fierce, and he realized that he might have missed something.
Yu Huang stared at Yu Donghai and slowly said, âYou once worked in the kitchen of His Highness the Princeâs army. At that time, the chef was surnamed Deng. Coincidentally, his child was the young man I had met once, Deng Weidong.â
âFather, although youâve never seen Deng Weidongâs child, you actually know him.â
âThe chefâs child wasnât 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.â
âHow could you forget such an important thing?â
When he heard this, the smile on Yu Donghaiâs face suddenly faltered. His expression was unfathomable as he said, âOh really?â
âYes, 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.â
âDeng Weidong was the first person I met when I awakened the Eternal Eye. Thatâs 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 identity. However, he didnât expect that there was another connection between me and Deng Weidong.â
âIf I hadnât 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.â
Yu Huangâs gaze became cold as she said, âFather, how could a compassionate person like you not remember that the chef who had taken good care of you had a son who was a beast tamer and wasnât an ordinary person?â
Hearing Yu Huangâs question, Yu Donghai was momentarily speechless.
On the other hand, Sheng Xiao was still trying to cover up the lie. He said, âFather-in-law just got revived not long ago. Perhaps his memory hasnât fully recovered. Believe me, thereâs really something wrong with you. This world is the real one.â
Sheng Xiao tried to make Yu Huang believe that everything he said was true.
âShut up!â Yu Huang scolded Sheng Xiao. She said, âYouâre 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 wouldnât force me to believe in something, like what youâre doing now!â
Faced with Yu Huangâs 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, âThe world here seems very wonderful and blissful, but that world filled with regret and parting is the world that I truly belong in.â
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, âSave me. Are you going to watch me disappear again?â
As Yu Huang looked at Yu Donghaiâs increasingly transparent body, she said with tears streaming down her face, âFather, you will always live in my heartâ¦â
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Huang summoned the Xuan Yu Sword without hesitation and slashed Yu Donghaiâs body into pieces.
âAh!â
Accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, Yu Donghaiâs 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, âEven if this is an illusory world, it will exist forever as long as you want it to.â
âYour father can live forever and marry the woman he loves. Our friends and I will always be with you. Even the survivors of the Earthâs apocalypse that you miss so much will live forever in your small world.â
âIsnât that good?â Sheng Xiao stared at Yu Huang gently and said, âIf you insist on going back, have you ever thought that you and your friends might die in the Kunlun Mystic Realm? Even if youâre lucky enough to leave the Kunlun Mystic Realm alive, the future is still filled with danger and countless unknown possibilities.â
âAnd this world is the ideal perfect world.â
Sheng Xiao smiled gently at Yu Huang. âStay behind and protect this perfect world with me.â
When Yu Huang heard Sheng Xiaoâs words, she was very tempted.
Butâ¦
What was fake was destined to be fake.
Yu Huang closed her eyes and said, âDonât 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!â
With that, she stabbed the Xuan Yu Sword into Sheng Xiaoâs heart. Just as her sword was about to stab into Sheng Xiaoâs heart, Sheng Xiao suddenly said, âHave you never suspected that the illusion is an illusion, but I might be the real Sheng Xiao?â
âArenât you worried that Sheng Xiao will die if you stab me?â
Hearing this, Yu Huang wavered. The Xuan Yu Sword that was about to stab Sheng Xiaoâs body suddenly stopped in front of him.
Seeing this, âSheng Xiaoâ smiled again. âThen why donât you guess if Iâm real or not?â
Yu Huang narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, âI slept with Prime Emperor Zhe An.â
âSheng Xiaoâ looked stunned and angry.
Just as he revealed this expression, Yu Huang suddenly exerted strength and pierced Sheng Xiaoâs heart.
After Sheng Xiaoâs 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, âHow can you be so sure that Iâm not Sheng Xiao?â
Yu Huang smiled indifferently and didnât explain.
Yu Huang had heard Sheng Xiao mention the grudges between him and Zeâan in their previous life.
Jing Huang married Zeâan in order to steal Yu Aofengâs Monster Core. After knowing the truth, Yu Aofeng felt heartbroken and pity for Jing Huang. How could he be angry?
