Chapter 219 Growing Up Again
Chapter 219 Growing Up Again
Upon returning to the Samsara Palace, Yu Liu was greeted by Yue Sheng, who, as always, sat at the table in a daze.
"Yue Sheng!"
After regaining her balance, Yu Liu quickly ran to Yue Sheng, interrupting her daze.
"Yuesheng, I want to go to the next world to fulfill my wish. Will you take me there?"
Yu Liu knelt opposite Yue Sheng, across a table, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, her face bearing a pleading and ingratiating smile.
Although I knew that Aning was alright, I still wanted to meet him as soon as possible to check on his condition.
Yue Sheng blinked, snapping out of his daze, and looked at Yu Liu with a hint of teasing: "Why the sudden change of heart? I've never seen you so enthusiastic about fulfilling wishes before. What's wrong with you this time?"
Yu Liu smiled sheepishly, trying to brush it off: "I just want to confirm one thing, Hao Yuesheng, please help me out!"
Yue Sheng chuckled and tapped Yu Liu's forehead with his index finger: "Okay, it's your own wish to fulfill, so you know what you're doing."
"But before that, you have to come with me to clean up the mess we made before."
He took Yu Liu's hand, and with a flash of blue light, Yue Sheng and Yu Liu disappeared from the spot.
Yu Liu snapped out of the dizziness from the sudden teleportation and looked up to see the very conspicuous sign of the hospital in front of her.
"This is..." Yu Liu's mind went blank for a moment before she finally remembered where she was: "Are we here to find Tai Shu Shang?"
"if not?"
Yue Sheng glanced down at her, his eyes slightly cold.
Yu Liu shuddered, then forced a silly smile, pretending she didn't understand anything.
After all, I've forgotten. And I don't know what happened in Taishu Shang's world anyway. But why do I feel so guilty...?
I was so preoccupied with thinking about Aning. I should have asked Yuesheng first what exactly happened in Taishushang's world.
Upon entering the hospital, she found herself in the same ward as before. However, Tai Shushang, who had once been able to stand by the window, was now completely weak. She lay on the bed with an IV drip attached to her hand, her eyes closed. It was unclear whether she was asleep or simply resting.
Hearing the door open, Taishu Shang slowly opened his eyes and calmly glanced at Yuesheng and Yuliu, who was holding her hand and looked somewhat guilty.
"You are back."
She twitched the corner of her lips, her loose skin making the gesture look somewhat eerie.
"I'm sorry, something unexpected happened, which prevented me from fulfilling my promise to you."
Yue Sheng's eyes were filled with apology. These words were just polite formalities. After all, it had been agreed that all of Yu Liu's experiences in Tai Shu Shang's world would be transmitted to Tai Shu Shang for her to see. So Tai Shu Shang actually knew what happened later. These words were just to give both of them a way out.
As for what happens next, that depends on what choice Taishu Shang makes.
Yue Sheng wasn't sure whether Tai Shu Shang would use his ability, which could only be used once in his life, on Yu Liu.
“It’s alright.” Tai Shushang’s voice was soft, her eyes filled with kindness. She looked at Yu Liu and said with a smile, “It’s enough. That’s enough. Although I haven’t gotten rid of my father, I’ve become a hero worshipped by the Alliance and the people of the Empire. That’s beyond my expectations.”
Tai Shushang's words relieved Yue Sheng. Since he had said so, Xiao Yuliu would definitely be able to enjoy the transformation ability that the Tianyan Clan could only use once in their lifetime.
"Thank you."
Yuesheng spoke those two words with the utmost sincerity.
Tai Shushang accepted with a smile. She beckoned to Yu Liu, who hesitated before walking to the bedside, looking somewhat at a loss.
"Don't be afraid, it will be quick."
Taishu Shang slowly raised his hand and placed it on Yu Liu's head, patting it soothingly.
"You!" Yue Sheng was somewhat shocked: "We can wait, there's no need..."
Before he could finish speaking, Taishu Shang shook his head: "It's alright. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live. I'm tired of this world, so there's no need to wait until the day I die to perform the transformation spell on this little guy. Facing death at any time makes no difference to me."
These words carried a heavy weight, causing Yue Sheng to fall silent.
Yu Liu lowered her hand, which she had wanted to use to stop her.
The old woman before me had a life full of hardships because of her race, and she had not found relief even in her final moments. Her father was indeed dead, but she had been found again by the Heavenly Court. Wasn't this like escaping one tiger's den only to fall into another? Although the Heavenly Court did not force her to do so, their desire for her abilities was undisguised.
Yu Liu's feelings were truly complicated. She felt sympathy for the old man, but she also couldn't bring herself to resent the Heavenly Court's actions, because ultimately, she herself would benefit from the Heavenly Court's decision. Standing between these two sides, she had no right to judge either party's behavior.
So she finally fell silent, letting the old man's hand on her head begin to glow.
As the light grew brighter, pink specks of light began to appear slowly around Yu Liu, gradually increasing in number and crowding the ward, even spreading out of the ward.
“Each pink dot here represents someone’s affection for you. There are so many.” Tai Shushang’s aged face was full of emotion. “This is something I could never do. You are amazing.”
Yu Liu shifted her gaze and thought to herself: The truly formidable one is A Ning.
The idea of gaining fame was proposed by Aning. Later, he was able to get through many dangerous situations safely with Aning's help. A large part of these pink lights are thanks to Aning. However, Aning puts all the glory in front of herself and stands behind.
Suddenly I'm starting to miss him again.
Taishu Shang saw right through Yu Liu's little scheme. She smiled at Yu Liu and said, "I know there's someone else involved, but to achieve this much, you're really amazing."
Seeing Yu Liu's blushing face, Tai Shu Shang slowly closed his eyes. The constantly appearing red light spots began to move along his hand that was on Yu Liu's head, slowly transferring to her body and gradually disappearing into her body.
Once most of the pink light had entered his body, Taishu Shang shakily raised his other hand and grasped Yu Liu's right wrist.
In an instant, Yu Liu felt a familiar force flow through her hand into her body, her blood began to surge, and her joints began to stir.
A white light gradually enveloped the jade willow, and within the hazy light, a small figure could be seen slowly rising within it.
Yu Liu is growing up again.
