Chapter 317.4: This Time, It’s Probably Goodbye Forever

“You think that I am more fortunate?” The man’s gaze turned towards her, the corners of his lips curved up. “Even if he is just a substitute, he is still at Ming Yue’s side, accompanying her over the past million years. To him, that is happiness.”

Qing Yu was at a loss for words.

Indeed, looking at it from another angle, death was not the most terrifying, but being forced apart was.

And was it not true that the other Lian Shi had been happy?

No matter what his identity was, at least he had been alive, and he had been by the side of the person he loved for so many long years.

But, there was one thing that Qing Yu was unable to fathom.

“Since you are still alive, why have you not gone to see her over so many years? How come no one ever knew that you still lived? And….. are you really that generous hearted, that you would give your own heart to save your love rival?”

Qing Yu’s head looked up at the man, her face curious and inquisitive.

The man’s face looked a little resigned and towards that chatterbox of a young lady, he was miraculously not feeling the slightest bit of disgust towards her at all.

Probably, it was because her eyes looked clear and clean, its purity untainted by worldly desires, feeling exactly like when Ming Yue had first appeared before his eyes all those years back in the faraway past.

He just could not help himself but to open his mouth and answer her query.

“I am naturally not that big hearted.”

He lowered his eyes and let out a soft sigh. “I had no choice back then as I was already injured after falling for the gods’ devious scheme, and I had to shield Ming Yue from her father’s mighty strike on top of that, which wrecked my body completely and left it in tatters. My consciousness was becoming weak and frail and as I possess both the blood of the god and demon race in my body, the two opposing forces battled fiercely for supremacy and control, and would have torn me into two if neither side came out triumphant.”

“So you chose to put your own heart into the body of the other Lian Shi and revive him, thinking that he can forever protect Ming Yue in your place when you were not certain whether you would be able to survive in the first place.”

The words that the man left unspoken were finished on his behalf by Qing Yu aloud.

The man’s eyes flashed with a glint and his lips then curved up with a smile. “You’re quite a clever one.”

“You’re very smart yourself as well!” Qing Yu said as she winked and then smiled slyly to say: “By doing that, not only did you make that fella owe you greatly, you’ve also made Ming Yue remember you forever. Two birds with one stone, you’ve executed your plan really perfectly haven’t you?”

The man’s expression looked surprised for a moment before he laughed scornfully. “You’re a little one who overthinks things too much. That has never been my intention as my actions were carried out out of pure instinct in that highly critical moment.”

He paused for a moment and then opened his mouth to continue: “Although, there is one point that you’ve guessed wrongly.”

“What?” Qing Yu arched up an eyebrow.

“This me, who is standing here right before you now, cannot in the true meaning of the word be considered to be truly alive.” The man looked at her and said.

Qing Yu looked a little taken aback before she asked in puzzlement. “What….. does that mean?”
