Capítulo 981: Chapter 2929
After reaching an agreement with Yulan, Gu Changsheng’s mood instantly improved, and he turned to leave the sleeping quarters. Just as he was about to exit, Yulan spoke again, “My esteemed guest, can I ask one last time, who exactly are you?”
Yulan’s words made Gu Changsheng’s departing figure pause slightly...
Gu Changsheng believed that Yulan knew far more about the Ancient Wilderness Times than Yushu...
So...
“My Venerable Mother gave up her life to save you, but she herself died...” After a moment of contemplation, Gu Changsheng finally spoke...
Once upon a time, during the Ancient Wilderness Times, her Venerable Mother was akin to a savior...
She worked tirelessly to save everyone, hoping the war of The Gods wouldn’t affect more people...
So...
The Mermaid People survived unharmed...
So...
The Mermaid People continued to live...
Yet her Venerable Mother died...
To this day, Gu Changsheng has still not found a true way to resurrect her Venerable Mother...
“!!!” Upon hearing Gu Changsheng’s words, Yulan’s expression turned extraordinarily shocked, and in the end, she only said, “I’m sorry...”
Although this apology was not particularly important...
Strangely, when Gu Changsheng heard it, he felt a slight sense of relief...
Perhaps...
Her Venerable Mother’s choice was the right one!
Some die, but some still have the chance to continue living...
“Live well, for as long as you live, it proves that the Ancient Wilderness Times truly existed, proving that my Venerable Mother’s sacrifice was not in vain...” With these final words, Gu Changsheng said no more and turned to leave...
No matter how much Yulan knows about the Ancient Wilderness Times...
However...
That the Mermaid People are the remnants of the Ancient Wilderness Times is undeniable!
Gu Changsheng had already received this answer from Yushu!
In fact, even if Yushu hadn’t said it, Gu Changsheng already knew...
In the Ancestral God’s estimated records, it was noted that the Mermaid People were once a race of the Ancient Wilderness Times...
“...” Yulan watched Gu Changsheng’s figure slowly recede, and for some reason, her mood suddenly felt heavy for a moment...
This woman...
Who exactly is she?
This woman who can speak of the Ancient Wilderness Times, who is she really?
Yulan was certain that anyone associated with the Ancient Wilderness Times was no ordinary person...
Because, in their Mermaid People’s ancestral tales, the Ancient Wilderness Times was an era of coexisting gods...
Although that era had long passed, Yulan vaguely remembered...
The ancestral legends...
The Ancient Wilderness Times, where gods coexisted, where battles of the gods reversed rivers and dimmed the sun and moon...
Such legends made Yulan, as the queen of the Mermaid People, deeply fearful...
Incredibly fearful...
The power of the deities was far beyond what their Mermaid People could withstand!
Although their Mermaid People were once citizens of the Ancient Wilderness Times, they were merely the most ordinary of citizens, still far removed from the deities...
Yet in Yulan’s lifetime, she had the opportunity to meet a real remnant of the Ancient Wilderness Times, more powerful than the Mermaid People...
Indeed!
At this moment...
In Yulan’s heart, Gu Changsheng was already classified among the remnants of the Ancient Wilderness Times...
Although it seemed there was nothing incorrect about saying this...
Because Gu Changsheng actually...
To be precise, is considered a remnant of the Ancient Wilderness Times?
Isn’t she?
...
As Gu Changsheng left the queen’s sleeping quarters, Baobao immediately stepped forward, grabbing her mother’s sleeve, “Mother, where did Yushu go? Why couldn’t I find her? Could she have also been captured?”
“How could that be? The future of the Mermaid People still needs her, how could she be captured?” Gu Changsheng laughed lightly upon hearing her daughter’s words and said, “Don’t worry, Yushu is fine. She probably went to visit her captured sister...”
“Oh? Then I’ll go find her...” Baobao said happily upon hearing this.
Then, Baobao pulled Beibei along, and they both disappeared from Gu Changsheng’s sight...
“Changsheng...” Once Baobao and Beibei were gone, Xuanyuan Mu raised his hand to gently pat Gu Changsheng’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t be sad...”
“I’m not sad...” Gu Changsheng said, surprised, turning around to look at Xuanyuan Mu, “I just think that perhaps my Venerable Mother’s actions back then were worth it...”
“...” Xuanyuan Mu remained silent upon hearing this.
“Look at the thousands of Mermaid People, see how well they’re all living...” Gu Changsheng turned his gaze to the patrols of mermaid soldiers passing by in the Crystal Palace, and the maids busy with their tasks, slowly saying, “Their living presence proves the value and meaning of my Venerable Mother’s past sacrifices, doesn’t it?”
“That’s right!” Xuanyuan Mu heard this and nodded...
Although, he had no idea what Gu Changsheng had said about the Ancient Wilderness Times, or what had truly happened with her Venerable Mother...
Yet, he could clearly feel the emotions emanating from Gu Changsheng...
Sometimes, certain words truly don’t need to be spoken...
Some people can still understand each other implicitly...
Like Xuanyuan Mu and Gu Changsheng...
As long as she didn’t want to talk, Xuanyuan Mu would never ask, but simply accompany her, staying by her side, sharing her happiness, sharing her sorrow...
“Xuanyuan Mu, do you know? My Venerable Mother is a very contradictory person, for her great love she even abandoned me, abandoned my Venerable Father, yet in the end I could find no reason to hate her...” Gu Changsheng looked at Xuanyuan Mu and slowly said, “Do you know? As her daughter, even my birth was all planned by her, all for her great love, all planned for her people! She planned my birth, my whole life, making me inherit her ideas, to continue her grand plan. I once so hated her, now I so love her, I want her to come alive again, want to ask her, did she ever regret what she did to me back then? Want to ask her, if she truly loved my Venerable Father, if she truly loved me...”
“She created me, brought me to this world, if I can’t find the answer to this question, I will live so incomplete, my world would always feel like a missing piece, one that can never be smoothed over, do you understand?”
“...” Xuanyuan Mu heard this and fell silent...
He could understand the contradiction and sadness in Gu Changsheng...
Yet, he couldn’t understand what Gu Changsheng’s words truly meant...
So...
All he could do was remain silent, silently listening to Gu Changsheng’s laments...
“Evildoer, you once told me ‘Obsession Becomes Sorrow’, but even so, you still relentlessly accompany me, would you regret it?” Looking at the familiar face before her, Gu Changsheng couldn’t help but reach out her hand...
Familiar warmth...
A touch that’s both warm and cool...
Making Gu Changsheng’s eyes involuntarily blurry...
Her evildoer...
For her...
For the obsession in her heart, he became the way he is now...
Even forgetting who he was...
“Does this king resemble him very much?” Xuanyuan Mu felt Gu Changsheng’s fingers rubbing on his face and asked subconsciously.
“Very similar! Very very similar! Identical!” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng’s lips curled slightly, speaking slowly...
“Should this king feel fortunate then?” Xuanyuan Mu heard this and pressed his lips.
“No...” Hearing this, Gu Changsheng lowered her gaze and laughed softly, saying, “Perhaps you should feel angry because I did something that will surely anger you once you awaken...”
Brought her two daughters to this Beyond the Heaven Continent...
When her evildoer truly awakens, he’ll find he’s missed out on Baobao and Beibei’s childhood...
This...
This is practically the biggest transgression Gu Changsheng has ever committed against Xuanyuan Mu, isn’t it?
So...
Her evildoer is surely going to get angry...
“...” Hearing this, Xuanyuan Mu’s lips twitched slightly...
For some reason...
Sometimes, he can clearly feel that the woman in front of him is looking at another man through him...
But sometimes, Xuanyuan Mu has an illusion that, in fact, Gu Changsheng is looking solely at him...
Especially with those facts that are not actually facts, it makes Xuanyuan Mu ponder even more...
Even...
Sometimes...
Xuanyuan Mu can’t help but secretly hope...
Hope that he...
Perhaps just like Gu Changsheng, Baobao, Beibei, and Little Monk Bu Jie, comes from another time and space?
Comes from their homeland?
That he actually is the “him” Gu Changsheng speaks of?
Only...
Whenever Xuanyuan Mu thinks this way, he feels that he’s likely gone mad!
Feels like he’s likely cared too much for this damned woman Gu Changsheng, hence these absurd thoughts arise...
In the Crystal Palace of the Mermaid People, Gu Changsheng and Xuanyuan Mu stood tall like jade...
They looked like a golden boy and jade girl, matching perfectly beyond reproach...
The scene resembled an ancient scroll, making countless Mermaids involuntarily stop to watch with full admiration...
...
While Baobao and Beibei, visited the palace’s dungeons, where they met Yushu and Skate...
Gu Changsheng was right, Yushu indeed came to see the captured Skate...
When Baobao and Beibei arrived in the dungeon, Yushu was talking to Skate, and since Baobao and Beibei are a pair of polite good kids, they naturally don’t interrupt others’ conversations, so...
The two obediently found a spot to quietly hide and eavesdropped on the conversation between the sisters Yushu and Skate...
“Why? You’re here to see me make a fool of myself, right? You’re here to see how miserable I am now, just so you can flaunt your success and accomplishments, right?”
