Upon hearing this, Wei Yuan unconsciously stopped what he was doing.
Even the roast chicken in my mouth didn't seem as delicious anymore.
He took the locust flower wine, tilted his head back, and drank it all.
The next moment, he choked and coughed: "Cough cough..."
Yu Tang quickly handed him a handkerchief: "Why are you drinking so fast? It's your first time drinking, you'll get drunk easily if you drink like this."
Wei Yuan raised his slightly reddened eyes to look at him. Some vague memories surged in his mind, causing him to lose control of his hand and grab Yu Tang's hand along with the handkerchief.
"Master..."
"Do any of you know that even the lofty and supreme Heavenly Dao has secrets it doesn't want others to know?"
The storyteller's casual remark interrupted their thoughts and drew the attention of everyone on the first floor of the restaurant.
Wei Yuan belatedly realized that he was holding Yu Tang's hand tightly, and quickly let go, his face, which was only slightly flushed from the smell of alcohol, was now pale.
Now she's completely blushed, and she's keeping her head down, not daring to look at his face.
Yu Tang didn't notice Wei Yuan's embarrassment; he simply sipped his wine, his gaze fixed on the absent-minded man.
Amidst the jeers of those around him, San Shen finally began his narration.
"The Way of Heaven is the Great Way of Heaven, but few people know that the Great Way is also divided into good and evil, and yin and yang."
"So in essence, the Way of Heaven consists of two opposing forces. One is the Yin Way of Heaven, and the other is the Yang Way of Heaven."
"Twenty thousand years ago, Yang Tiandao descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, established a sect, married a mortal woman, and gave birth to a child of the Heavenly Dao."
That chosen one of Heaven has long since become a god and should be in this divine realm.
Eighteen years ago, Yin Tiandao also descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, enjoying wealth and glory, doing all sorts of outrageous things, and also had a child with a woman, a child of the Heavenly Dao.
But where the Son of Heaven is now, and how he is doing, no one knows…
"But if Geminis meet one day, one of them will be plagued by misfortune and unable to escape his fate."
"This is a trap set for them by the supreme Heavenly Dao; one will live, the other will die, and they will be separated for eternity..."
San Shen's words left everyone around him stunned.
Some people are shouting that he's talking nonsense and making up stories.
It is said that the Heavenly Dao exists only in the formless and cannot be human. Furthermore, there is no possibility of such a romantic affair involving a person descending to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation, and even less so the birth of a child of the Heavenly Dao.
The wandering spirit simply smiled and didn't refute.
"The Way of Heaven?" Wei Yuan said, "It feels so far away from me."
But then he saw Yu Tang and laughed: "However, I've even seen such a powerful deity as my master, so maybe one day I'll be able to see the Heavenly Dao as well."
"The Way of Heaven..." The words of the scattered god kept lingering in Yu Tang's mind, and Yu Tang had a feeling that this story was meant for him.
This implies that he is the son of Yang Tiandao, while Wei Yuan is the son of Yin Tiandao.
The curse between them was ordained from birth.
There's no way to break free or resist.
If you think about it this way, everything seems to make sense.
Ten thousand years ago, he died, and Wei Yuan survived and waited for him for ten thousand years.
Now, Wei Yuan has divided his soul into ten parts, setting up a scheme for these ten worlds, each world consisting of one life and one death, separated by yin and yang.
If we follow this line of reasoning, wouldn't Wei Yuan have saved him and brought him to his full potential ten worlds later, and then chosen to disappear forever...?
Thinking of this, Yu Tang suddenly felt a surge of frustration.
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup, ignoring the boy's words. Instead, his face darkened, and he picked up the wine pot and poured himself another cup.
He drank it all in one gulp again.
"Master?"
Wei Yuan noticed that Yu Tang was in a bad mood and tried to dissuade him, but Yu Tang brushed away his hand that was trying to grab the wine cup.
When he looked up again, he met a pair of cold eyes, and the deep pain hidden in them made the boy's heart tremble.
This was the first time he had seen Yu Tang like this.
He stood there, stunned, unable to react.
By the time he came to his senses, the man opposite him was already drinking one glass of wine after another, oblivious to his surroundings.
After talking for a while, he ultimately chose to stay quietly by his side.
The wine was brewed by the gods and was quite potent. In addition, Yu Tang did not try to dispel the alcohol, so he got really drunk by late at night.
Wei Yuan could only grab Yu Tang's arm and have someone put their hand on his shoulder, leading the man back in a swaying manner.
The streets were brightly lit, and the light and shadow of people and restaurant lanterns crisscrossed the bluestone pavement. Accompanied by the laughter of men and women, a lively and bustling scene of everyday life was depicted.
"Yuan'er..." Amid the noise, Yu Tang suddenly called out Wei Yuan's name, turned his head to look at him, and asked softly, "Are you my Yuan'er?"
The coldness they felt in the restaurant just moments ago has now transformed into intimate whispers.
Wei Yuan was so shocked that he froze.
After a long while, she blushed and said in a hoarse voice, "Yes, yes, it's me, Master."
Yu Tang looked at his face, and stretched out her cool fingers to trace the boy's features bit by bit. Her mind was in turmoil, with memories from many different worlds intertwined.
Adding to the resentment he had just heard from the distracted spirit, the anger in his heart turned into a hard, thorny stone, churning and grinding inside his body, heavy and painful.
That feeling of powerlessness and desolation crept into his heart without warning, even in this otherwise lively and joyful environment.
"Could you tell me..."
He pressed his cheek against the boy's, his voice tinged with a hoarse, tearful tone.
How many things have you been hiding from me?
Chapter 15
Died for the villain for the tenth time (15)
Wei Yuan was completely stunned.
She stared blankly at the man in front of her, a sudden, subtle pain welling up in her heart.
And it's getting stronger and stronger, becoming increasingly unbearable.
Without supporting Yu Tang's hand, she tightly gripped the clothes in front of her chest, breathing rapidly.
The things imprisoned in his soul exploded with a bang amidst this heart-wrenching pain, returning them all to Wei Yuan.
Countless images flashed through my mind, frame by frame.
It's filled with him and Yu Tang, their laughter and tears, transcending time and space, presented right before our eyes.
The next moment, tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks.
The boy staggered into the dimly lit alley, then knelt down with a thud, carefully protecting Yu Tang and trying not to bump into the man.
He helped the sleeping Yu Tang sit against the wall of the alley. The streetlights slanted across the man's face, creating a blurry interplay of light and shadow. From the side, he looked exceptionally fragile and pitiful.
“Master…” Wei Yuan reached out and carefully stroked Yu Tang’s cheek. The innocence in his eyes had faded, replaced by silence and pain.
There is also an affection so deep it cannot be dissolved.
He remembered.
I remember everything.
His and his master's fates were predetermined from the very beginning.
Yang Tiandao created Yutang so that Yutang could inherit his mantle and become a perfect and righteous god who would abandon love and affection.
After realizing Yang Tiandao's plan, Yin Tiandao created Wei Yuan and buried the lost thread of love in his body.
This made him, with his two intertwined love lines and intense emotions, Yu Tang's downfall.
Not only did it break the opponent's ruthless path, but it also eventually led Yu Tang to his death by following the path laid out by the Yin Heaven Path step by step.
The rift between the human realm and the demon realm was torn open by the Yin Heaven Path.
The masked cultivators of Wanku Mountain were followers of the Yintian Dao in the human realm and within the Tongtian Divine Tower. They told them to create a perfect demon and then threw Wei Yuan and his mother inside.
Wei Yuan's rampage at the top of Wanku Mountain when he was fifteen years old was also expected.
His rampage wreaked havoc on the human world.
The countless deaths and injuries caused over three years finally alarmed Yutang.
When Yu Tang descended to the mortal realm to quell the demonic disturbances and seal the rift, it was during this time that he first encountered Wei Yuan.
Out of pity for Wei Yuan's tragic fate, Yu Tang took him in as a disciple and helped him seal away the demonic energy. He taught him righteous magic and the principles of being a good person.
However, Wei Yuan is the son of the Yin Heaven Path and has borne the burden of so many demons. Even with a seal, he can only resist them for a short time.
As time went by, the seal loosened, and his temperament became increasingly gloomy, his personality increasingly violent, and he developed a strong, obsessive feeling for Yu Tang.
However, he was coldly rejected by Yu Tang, who had cultivated the ruthless path, time and time again.
Finally, his inner demons became severe, and his demonic energy went berserk, almost causing him to commit a grave mistake against Yu Tang.
After realizing what had happened, Wei Yuan was filled with pain and regret.
He knelt outside the valley for ten days and ten nights, but still did not receive Yu Tang's forgiveness.
So he left Green Locust Valley to seek revenge on those masked cultivators and began to wallow in self-pity.
First, he went to the human realm and wreaked havoc. As long as it involved research on demons and harmed children and women, Wei Yuan did not spare any sect.
He portrayed himself as a bloodthirsty monster.
Even when Yu Tang came to him, he said he could do whatever he wanted; it was his business and had nothing to do with his master.
Because he knew that with the seal broken, he would eventually become a complete monster.
He was no longer qualified to stand beside his master.
Later, he stormed the Tower of Heaven, but his cultivation was insufficient, and he fell into a trap set by those powerful gods. When he was driven to the brink of despair, Yu Tang stood in front of him.
