Chapter 805 Extra: Zhang Qilin
Chapter 805 Extra: Zhang Qilin
What Xie Yuchen didn't know was that I had forgotten less than he had, but we didn't tell him because it was her wish.
Xie Yuchen and I died heartbroken, but we survived because of the words she left behind. Our feelings for each other faded away, but I was different. I had absorbed half a drop of her essence.
Just as my heart was about to be reborn, a drop of golden blood suddenly appeared in my chest. That drop of blood blocked the invasion of that word, but it didn't completely block it, so I preserved a very small part of my memory.
I remember the moments we fell in love, and I remember how we looked when we first met. That's enough. The rest of my life won't be boring. And I remember her face clearly.
Since she's no longer in those portraits, I might as well paint her again.
She deceived us so badly, promising that we could be resurrected, but in the end, nothing was left. The ceramic doll she left behind is not clear anymore, and I can only slowly piece it together from my meager memories.
Others who commit suicide for love might at least meet again in the underworld, but even if we commit suicide for love, we won't be able to see her. Besides, if we are truly reincarnated, we will really not remember her. I don't want that, and neither does Xie Yuchen.
Moreover, we have two children with Wangyou. We can't let them lose both their mother and father at the same time. That would be cruel to them.
Nianwang and Nianyou are seven parts like Wangyou, and only three parts like me and Xie Yuchen. Sometimes when I look at the two children's faces, I feel that she has never left.
Actually, I always had a secret thought in my heart: could she have already entered the cycle of reincarnation in the mortal world, but none of us know it, not even the rules of the world? If I go to the mortal world more often, will I eventually run into her?
But I've traveled the world and never met anyone who looks like her. There probably isn't anyone like her. I keep wondering if I've missed something. She would probably be hiding somewhere.
Then I wondered if I went at the wrong time, which was why we never met.
Xie Yuchen took his two children to accumulate merit again. He no longer knew what the use of accumulating merit was, but he just wanted to accumulate it. He said that he might need it someday, and there was no harm in accumulating more.
I thought so too, so I went as well.
However, in the small world, the people I was supposed to meet didn't, but the people I wasn't supposed to meet did.
We met Linglong, the girl we created using immortal bones and the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Heart. She seemed to be doing well in the small world, and she knew how to show weakness better than Wangyou.
I always have some dark thoughts. Why is it that my Wangyou is gone, but she can live so freely? But I always wonder if she is Wangyou, just a completely new version of herself. If I take action, will I extinguish Wangyou's last hope?
I dared not make a move, but I didn't want to see her either. But the world is so big, there will always be a time when we meet. Speaking of which, Linglong and Wangyou have something in common, which is that they both have great love in their hearts.
The difference is that Linglong has more experience with Xiao Ai, while Wangyou, if we hadn't kept pestering her, she probably would have forgotten about us long ago.
Linglong has lovers in every world. When she loves, she is passionate and intense, and when she doesn't love, she can withdraw decisively. She understands love better than Wangyou, so she is definitely not Wangyou.
After that, we tried to avoid Linglong as much as possible, because seeing her always made us want to destroy her. Linglong probably realized this too, so she would also consciously avoid us.
Before, Xie Yuchen and I never touched alcohol, but after she left, we learned to drink. Xie Yuchen no longer needed to protect his voice because the people who listened to his opera performances were gone.
I need to get drunk, because only when I'm drunk can I see her. In order to see her, I devoted myself to research and finally brewed "Fleeting Dream". As long as I drink it, I can see her.
So I've become more and more inseparable from this fleeting dream, and Xie Yuchen will drink with me, even though he doesn't remember anything, he just says he wants to drink.
Once, when he was drunk, he told me that he dreamed of someone who was very beautiful, but he couldn't keep up with her no matter what he did. So he thought that if he got drunk, he could see what she looked like.
So, it's not that he doesn't remember at all; I remember laughing for a long time back then.
Life is truly long, but we all find joy in it.
We have enough time to wait for someone who may never appear.
Later, I realized that when we first met, it was in our own world. Over the years, I've read many novels that have been based on us, creating countless smaller worlds that are filled with the authors' own reluctance to accept our fate.
I was wondering if, since these worlds are so popular, she might appear in one of them at some point, in some place.
But I don't want to bring Xie Yuchen with me. If I meet her, she'll belong to me alone.
But after thinking about it, I decided to tell Xie Yuchen. After all, we are family, and besides, Wangyou really likes Xie Yuchen.
Then we went to all the tomb raiding and its derivative worlds, following the original plot and walking the path we were supposed to take again and again. Along the way, we encountered all sorts of male and female protagonists created by the author, and without exception, they were there to save us.
But none of them were her.
Then, after one cycle of reincarnation, after consulting a lot of information, I decided to write a novel myself and include the name Wangyou in it, hoping that she would appear.
Then I wrote it and went to this derivative world, but the result still disappointed me quite a bit.
There is such a person between us, whose name is Wangyou, but it is not her. I have spent time describing Wangyou's appearance, temperament, and behavior in detail, but the person created is completely different from Wangyou.
I tried to attract a trace of Forgetfulness's soul by creating a prototype, but obviously, I failed. When I got back, I quickly changed the name.
Later, I asked the great god Pangu and learned that the appearance of gods cannot be replicated unless the gods themselves take action, just like Nuwa created humans.
In an instant, Xie Yuchen and I suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Wangyou once said that when she saw Nuwa creating humans, she sculpted a clay figure exactly like herself and even gave it a trace of her soul.
That was also the first head of the Xie family.
We told Pangu about this, and then Pangu told us that it was a great world within a great world, full of dangers, and we needed to make preparations before we could get there.
Pangu came with us. When Ziyi heard about this, he didn't want to miss this opportunity either. After all, the Xie family had wooden plaques on their bodies for generations. Perhaps after the first patriarch passed away, that trace of his soul had not disappeared.
But when we arrived at the Xie family, we learned from the current head of the Xie family that one day the Xie family ancestral hall suddenly lost its vitality, and after that, the Xie family members never had a wooden plaque again.
We found the memorial tablet of the first head of the family, but it was completely empty.
In that instant, I felt like I had lost all my strength.
