Yu Tang snapped out of her reverie, a slight smile playing on her lips, and replied, "No..."
Wei Yuan had already prepared for Yu Tang to agree and was about to kiss her when he suddenly heard this sentence.
Before they could speak, a finger was placed between their lips.
The man he loved most smiled at him with his eyes crinkling, and repeated, "Don't even think about it."
Wei Yuan blinked, then froze as if struck by lightning, and started crying pitifully again: "W-why, Master, don't you love me anymore?"
Yu Tang slowly pulled Wei Yuan's hand off his neck and placed it properly at his side, then flicked the forehead at the tearful Wei Yuan: "Don't pretend to cry with me."
"I will never be fooled by your dishonest glutinous rice balls again."
After saying that, he stood up and distanced himself from Wei Yuan. He walked to the door and used magic to sweep the wood chips outside. A large amount of light then shone in, shining on the tall and elegant man, making Yu Tang squint slightly.
He leaned against the door frame and turned to look at the man who had already stopped crying.
Wei Yuan, who was still staring at him expectantly, continued speaking.
"Now is not the time to do this kind of thing."
"Don't even think about using this to change the subject."
"I am no longer the ruthless Daoist master who would lose his composure if you said a few words or teased him."
Yu Tang's expression turned serious, and she asked him, "So, I hope you will tell me everything you know."
"Why set up ten worlds? Why force Xiao Jin to carry out this death mission? What will happen after the world ends? Is there some hidden meaning in the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao that the Scattered God spoke of?"
“If we don’t clarify these things, then…” Yu Tang sighed softly, and against the light, gave Wei Yuan his final ultimatum: “Let’s break up…”
Those three simple words instantly dispelled the ambiguity in the room, bringing the atmosphere to a freezing point.
In the suffocating silence, Yu Tang stared at Wei Yuan, whose expression was grim, and said, "Wei Yuan, I like you, and I love you very much. My feelings for you are no less than your feelings for me."
"In my eyes, you and Xiao Jin are equally important family members, and you are my only love."
I know that even if you're gone, I will never fall in love with anyone but you again.
Therefore, I don't want to repeat the tragedy of ten thousand years, where the truth only comes to light at the very end, leaving one person to bear all the pain alone.
"So, you need to think carefully about how to tell me the truth. There's no time limit."
You can tell me whenever you want before this world ends.
But I demand that every word be the truth, without the slightest concealment.
After saying that, Yu Tang walked out the door, but returned a moment later, knocked on the door frame, and said in a relaxed tone, "I'll leave the task of repairing this door to you. I'm going to Luocheng to buy some wine and I'll be back tonight."
Wei Yuan paused for a moment, then nodded and hummed in agreement.
Yu Tang's departure this time was also to allow both of them to calm down and think carefully about what to do next.
Having explored so many worlds, he had almost figured out Wei Yuan's thoughts.
A pure soul without memories is the most deceiving thing.
Wei Mosheng is cowardly and dependent; Shen Yu is outwardly fierce but inwardly weak, lonely and fragile.
Cheng Luo is unrestrained yet restrained; Xiao Lin is sensible but too repressed.
Lu Qingyuan appears narcissistic but is actually deeply insecure.
Chu Jiangli appears cold and hard on the outside, but is inwardly conflicted, fearing life, death, and separation.
Yu Xiao is kind at heart, but she has suffered too much misfortune.
Mu Nancheng was like a blank sheet of paper, which was stained with various colors by life. He took many detours, and by the time he realized it, it was too late.
Qin Junyang and he had been honest with each other for so long, but in the end, just because of one lie, tragedy struck. He was born when I was already old, and we missed each other for decades.
Each of these nine worlds has many areas that overlap with those from 100,000 years ago.
Because the villains in it are all fragments of Wei Yuan's soul.
Therefore, it can be clearly analyzed that Wei Yuan was deeply troubled by everything that had happened in the past.
In terms of self-blame and guilt, Wei Yuan was even more extreme than him.
Therefore, Yu Tang could vaguely guess that everything the other party had done to save him must have come at a price.
As for what the price would be, he needed to hear it from Wei Yuan himself.
Only in this way can we resolve that kid's inner conflict.
Yu Tang strolled into Luocheng and saw Xu Luofeng at the entrance of a restaurant.
The handsome young man, dressed in tattered clothes and with his hair disheveled, leaned against the corner of the restaurant wall. A cloth was spread out in front of him, with a few things casually placed on it. When he saw Yu Tang, he greeted him with a smile.
"Lord Yu! How have you been lately?" Xu Luofeng beckoned to him and said with a smile, "Would you like to have your fortune told?"
Yu Tang was startled by his shout and his gaze fell on Xu Luofeng's face.
He has now regained his memory and knows that he and Xu Luofeng used to have some connection.
However, when he stormed the Tower of Heaven because of Wei Yuan, even Xu Luofeng did not offer any help.
Like most gods in the divine realm, he would only stand by and watch coldly.
Composing himself, Yu Tang walked over, squatted down in front of Xu Luofeng, and asked, "What is it?"
Xu Luofeng noticed his indifference but wasn't annoyed. Instead, he asked Yu Tang, "Whatever the Divine Lord wants to calculate, I'll calculate it for you."
Yu Tang frowned and thought for a while before replying, "I want to have my marriage fortune told."
"You cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, so why do you need to calculate your marriage?" Xu Luofeng asked in surprise, "Could it be that you have someone you care about?"
Seeing Yu Tang nod, Xu Luofeng leaned back against the wall and scratched his head: "Sigh, as expected, even someone like Lord Yu, who became a god through the ruthless path, couldn't escape this calamity."
As the man sighed, he cast a divination without hesitation, and after about half an incense stick's time, his expression began to change.
Shock, solemnity, doubt, and finally relief.
As if remembering something, the look in his eyes when he looked at Yu Tang was no longer the same as when they first met; instead, it held something else.
It seemed like guilt, yet also a sense of relief.
He asked Yu Tang, "Is the person the Divine Lord cares about the young man who was with you last time?"
"yes……"
"That's right."
Xu Luofeng looked at the man in front of him, and memories of the past flashed through his mind.
After Yu Tang's death, Wei Yuan single-handedly slaughtered all the gods in the divine realm.
Xu Luofeng was among them.
However, as long as the soul does not perish, whether it is a god or a human, they can enter the cycle of reincarnation. He was no exception, having experienced multiple reincarnations.
Just as he was about to become a god again, he was suddenly captured by Yin Tiandao and taken to this seemingly man-made void world.
Brainwash him, make him break up Yu Tang and Wei Yuan, and convey to Yu Tang the idea that the other party and Wei Yuan will ultimately not have a good outcome.
Now that he recalls all the past events, he feels that Yin Tiandao is ill.
Even though he was killed by Wei Yuan, he never actually resented Wei Yuan over the years.
Because when he was traveling through the divine realm, he saw clearly that this so-called divine realm was gradually becoming corrupt and filthy.
It should have been rectified a long time ago.
He simply didn't have the courage or the ability to intervene at the time.
Therefore, now that his memory has returned, he only feels respect and pity for Wei Yuan, and no longer has the prejudice against Wei Yuan he once did.
And with this divination, he also foresaw the future of these two people.
Although he could only vaguely see a tiny outline, it was enough for him to tell Yu Tang.
"Although your divination with him is ominous and full of twists and turns, but..." Xu Luofeng changed the subject, looking at Yu Tang with a smile, and continued.
"In the end, we will surely turn misfortune into good fortune and find a way out of a desperate situation."
Chapter 23
Died for the villain for the tenth time (23)
In the restaurant, Yu Tang held his wine glass, his mind still on the words Xu Luofeng had said to him.
He vaguely sensed that the other person's demeanor had suddenly changed at a certain moment.
The look in his eyes also carried a hint of guilt, which puzzled him.
Regardless, he still quite liked the summary the other party had given him and Wei Yuan.
In the end, they will surely turn misfortune into good fortune and find a way out of a desperate situation.
This can be considered a form of encouragement for him.
After having a drink, Yu Tang's mood improved considerably. He then filled two more jars into his spatial storage and strolled slowly down the street.
Looking around, I had a very strange feeling.
Although it is unknown how Wei Yuan created these worlds.
But this place is so realistic, it's exactly the same as the era he lived in 100,000 years ago.
It's full of memories.
As Yu Tang walked along, he passed by a stall and saw a simple wooden hairpin. He remembered the hairpin he had given to Xiao Lin, so he bought one and had the character "Yuan" engraved on it.
Seeing that there were vendors selling candied hawthorns, he bought them all, carrying a straw stick full of candied hawthorns, and swaggered back to Green Locust Valley.
While still in mid-air, he saw Wei Yuan sitting alone on the threshold of the courtyard gate, waiting for him expectantly.
Once he landed, her peach blossom eyes lit up, and she ran over, calling out, "Master..."
He could only shout out once before stopping, hesitating for a moment before finally saying, "I've fixed the door."
He didn't mention a word about the question Yu Tang had asked him earlier.
"Okay, it's fixed now." Yu Tang handed him the straw stick: "Here you go, this is a reward."
Then they entered the courtyard and saw the food on the stone table.
