Chapter 307.1: A Path to Life or to Death

At this point, the tale finally came to an end.

Qing Yu also finally understood why this man had always given her the feeling he was rather self contradictory.

There was clearly a kind of clean purity about the guy that made him seem to be untainted by the mortal world, but there were also times that his actions reflected a sinister and evil side of him.

That was because in his body, another soul lay hidden, that enabled him to have his life extended, an existence that was highly crucial and important.

She also finally understood why his eyes always carried an inextinguishable sadness inside, or to put it more accurately, those eyes did not belong to him, but to another lonely and sad soul who was not willing to leave.

“That woman in the story, who is she?” Qing Yu then asked in a soft voice.

Lian Shi’s eyes looked down slightly, and said in an emotionless voice: “She is the only G.o.d that still lives from those millions of years ago till now, the Lord of the Mind Free Peak.”

The expression on Qing Yu’s face was not all that surprised, as if she had already guessed it. “From the story you told, I was already able to guess it, and the reason for all these things that the woman is doing now. She must have changed to become someone even you are no longer able to recognize isn’t it?”

“All this time, you’ve just been that man’s subst.i.tute.”

“Right. Subst.i.tute.” Lian Shi laughed softly. “Even though I know that to be the case, I could never bear to refuse her, willing to carry all the sin myself, and have blood on my hands rather than her. She used to have such a clean and pure soul, but she is now just a little too tired, and merely feels that the world is too cold a place right now.”

And the two people she had cared the most about, her father had abandoned her, while the man who loved her had died in order to protect her. There was probably nothing that could come to devastate her anymore than that right! ?

Seeing how self delusional the man was, Qing Yu’s brows knitted up, a little hesitant and feeling rather sympathetic, but she still went ahead to speak the truth that the man was seemingly not entirely willing to accept.

“She seeks to resurrect that Lian Shi, am I right?”

The man kept his eyes lowered, and they seemed to blink a few times weakly.

“But do you know….. that if that Lian Shi comes back to life, you will then cease to exist. She will then not even remember you, not remember that there was once someone who never ever left her side in her life, a person who loved her more than his own life.”

The ends of Lian Shi’s lips curled up slightly, seemingly a little self mocking as he said: “So what? If that is what she wants, I will do everything I can to help her. The past million years that I’ve lived, was stolen anyway…..”

“Or it was just….. charity that was given to me by that man.”

After saying that, a warm and friendly smile slowly came to show on Lian Shi’s face, his gaze looking at Qing Yu seemingly a lot more gentle.

He then said: “I do not know why, but all these things have laid buried deep in my heart for so many years and I have never brought it up to anyone before, but I have somehow come to share it with you today. You are really quite an amazing little la.s.s you know.”
