This beautiful moment was captured in time.
After marriage, Yu Tang and Cheng Luo became a legally married couple, and Yu Tang experienced all sorts of shamelessness from Cheng Luo.
Yu Tang felt every minute that he might die young due to overuse of his kidneys.
The two lived like this until they were ninety years old.
As Yu Tang's health deteriorated, knowing that this cycle was about to end, he stopped staying in the hospital and instead had Cheng Luo take him back to the castle.
Two elderly people sat in a deckchair in the garden, basking in the sun. Their legs were covered with a blanket, and their thin hands were still clasped together without any shame.
With the quick-death injection in his other hand, Cheng Luo looked at the golden tree swaying in the breeze and said, "Tangtang, I think you must be a god from heaven."
"And I am your calamity."
He then looked at Yu Tang and said, "You've descended to the mortal realm to seek my help in overcoming your tribulation."
"You taught me what love is, led me out of that cage, and gave me warmth and redemption."
"Now you're leaving."
I can't keep you here.
Cheng Luo seemed to have seen through everything, her eyes becoming clear and bright.
"so……"
He took Yu Tang's hand, kissed the back of his hand reverently, and said, "I beg my gods to take me with them."
"May I?"
Yu Tang paused for a moment, then seemed to realize something and smiled with relief.
He turned around, reached out a finger and lightly touched Cheng Luo's forehead, and said.
"Okay, I'll take you away."
On that day, Yu Tang passed away, and the golden tree turned into specks of light and vanished.
Cheng Luo injected the quick-death injection into the vein, knelt down in front of Yu Tang's corpse, took the man's hand, rested his head on Yu Tang's knees, and closed his eyes peacefully.
Pulling herself out of her memories, Yu Tang clenched the pink soul fragment in her hand, absorbed it into her palm, and smiled gently.
Tell Xiao Jin: Let's go to the next world and rescue my little prince too.
Chapter 2
The villain is resurrected for the fourth time (02)
After this time travel, Yu Tang's first impression was: It's so dark.
There was also the smell of soil, and I felt suffocated all over.
A question mark slowly appeared above his head. Yu Tang called out to Xiao Jin several times before finally getting a response.
Master, your current situation is a tiny bit special.
Yu Tang frowned: What exactly have I become?
You've become Jade Spirit!
Yu Tang looked on in astonishment and asked, "I remember that there are no ghosts or monsters in this world."
[You are the obsession of the Supreme God. Your return to these worlds, and the identities you have received, are all arrangements made by his subconscious.]
Xiao Jin analyzed: "Look at the first world, Wei Mosheng represents the sorrowful spirit. He hopes that you can have a wonderful family, have loving family members, and also hopes to eliminate all regrets with you in that world, receive your parents' blessings, and finally pass away before you."
So you became Lin Yutang. In the second world, Shen Yu represents the wrathful spirit. He hurt you and many others before. He wanted to atone for his sins and wanted to die at your hands, so you became Detective Yu Ye.
In the third world, Cheng Luo represents the Desire Soul. He keeps his promise to you, does good deeds, and does not seek death. He always hopes that the corpse he has preserved will awaken.
So you used your original identity. Now in the fourth world, I guess this jade carries his obsession, which is why you became the jade spirit.
Yu Tang blinked and gestured with his fingers to Xiao Jin: Xiao Jin, although you are usually very annoying and always gloating.
But when it comes to analyzing these kinds of things, he always hits the nail on the head, which is pretty impressive!
"Hmph, of course." Little Gold wagged its tail, but Bai Feng grabbed it, making it shudder. It angrily slapped Bai Feng's hand away and continued to Yu Tang: "Master, Xiao Lin died in the same way you did in this world. He took the jade pendant that Xiao Si accidentally broke while digging up the locust tree, poured a lot of kerosene around your room, and was burned alive."
Yu Tang's heart skipped a beat.
The smile on his face vanished, and he fell silent.
He remembered that he met Xiao Lin once in the eighth world, but Xiao Lin didn't mention this matter at all.
It is only said that he lived up to expectations and built a peaceful and prosperous era, and finally died of old age.
As expected, Xiao Lin lied after all.
"At that time, he had already built a peaceful and prosperous world and made all the arrangements for his affairs before choosing to die."
Xiao Jin said: "Later, it must have been that his soul became unstable and possessed a human soul, which led to your meeting in the eighth world."
Now, because of the dispersal of the Lord God's soul, you have returned to the world.
Therefore, Xiao Lin, like Shen Yu, who had died, also had the chance to be reborn.
Yu Tang asked: "At what point in time was Xiao Lin reborn? And where is he now?"
"To be precise, he is currently in a semi-comatose state."
Xiao Jin replied to him: "He was reborn after leading troops into the capital and personally killing Emperor Xiao Sheng."
Because I haven't had a break for days, both my mind and body are on the verge of collapse. I estimate I'll need to sleep for a while longer.
At this point, Xiao Jin raised her voice slightly and said, "[So, Master, as the Jade Spirit, you can visit him in his dreams!]"
[While his soul has just returned and before he falls into the despair of seeing you only to lose you again, letting him know you're still alive will prevent him from harming himself like Shen Yu did!]
Reminded by Xiao Jin, Yu Tang immediately perked up.
Because of his experience in wielding divine power, Yu Tang focused his mind and energy slightly and locked onto the capital of Xiao Kingdom, which was more than a thousand miles away from Bei Yi City.
In the dead of night, only two dim lights illuminated the imperial palace's sleeping quarters. The military doctor sat at the table, resting with his head propped up by his hand, while Xiao Lin huddled on the bed, coughing and trembling incessantly.
In his dream, a raging fire engulfed Yu Tang's figure, and he tried desperately to grab it but couldn't.
"General..."
"Don't go..."
As he shouted this, tears streamed down his face, soaking his clothes.
"Your Highness..."
Suddenly, as if he had heard his shout, the scene in the dream changed.
The fire died down, and he saw a small courtyard, two small houses, and snow falling. His general stood in the snow and smiled at him.
It was New Year's Eve. He and the general ate longevity noodles, made dumplings together, drank nuptial wine, and went to their bridal chamber. The general said that they had both been reincarnated, and his name in that life was Mu Nancheng.
But he refused, and insisted that the general call him Xiao Lin.
They also listened together to something called a radio in that world, where someone was singing.
It was a piece of music he had never heard before.
It sounds beautiful and warm.
Everything was as beautiful as a dream.
Maybe... it was all just a dream.
After all, he should have been burned to death long ago and gone to the underworld to join his general.
These images should just be a revolving lantern, or perhaps the Black and White Impermanence of the underworld taking pity on him and creating illusions for him.
"Your Highness—" Just as Xiao Lin's thoughts were wandering, the image shattered again, and Yu Tang's voice broke through the layers of mist, clearly reaching his ears.
"The jade won't break, and the person won't die; have you forgotten that?!"
In the dream, all was dark except for a tall locust tree standing in the center, with light shining down from the top of the tree, illuminating the man standing below.
The man asked him, "You haven't found the jade pendant yet, how can you die so easily?"
Xiao Lin was stunned.
He said blankly, "The jade is broken. I can't put it back together. Xiao Si broke it. The general is gone too. The Kashi people all said that the general sacrificed himself. I wanted to join the general, so I set the house on fire..."
"The jade pendant isn't broken!" the blurry-faced man shouted. "Your Highness, that jade pendant is still waiting for you to come find it!"
Xiao Lin was taken aback by his confident tone, raised his head, and asked, "Who exactly are you?"
"I am Yu Tang." The man's face gradually became clearer, and his voice became more recognizable. His divine power was being consumed rapidly, and knowing that he couldn't stay for too long, Yu Tang took a few steps forward, grabbed Xiao Lin's hand, and white locust blossoms fell one by one.
"Your Highness, the jade is not broken."
"My soul resides within the jade pendant, awaiting your arrival."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tang and Huai Hua disappeared from Xiao Lin's dream.
Inside the bedchamber, the boy, who had been cowering on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and took in his surroundings.
Shock and panic were evident in his eyes.
"Dr. Chen!" he called out, waking the dozing army doctor. He got out of bed, put on his shoes, and asked, "What year is it?!"
The army doctor was woken up by him and saw that he was about to get out of bed, so he quickly went up to help him. He didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied, "It is now the 28th year of Kaisheng. Your Majesty has already killed the late emperor. When you ascend the throne in the future, you will definitely have to change the era name."
Therefore, the 28th year of Kaisheng is just an empty title...
“Kaisheng…” Xiao Lin’s memories slowly returned.
Then his pupils suddenly dilated, and he understood.
He's been reborn!
I was reborn after I killed that bastard!
"Cough cough..." Xiao Lin's emotions were in turmoil, and the night air was cold, so he started coughing violently again, and the military doctor was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, you should go back to bed and rest. You are not fully recovered and need to recuperate for the next few days..."
The military doctor was still rambling on and on, but Xiao Lin couldn't hear a word he said.
He thought of the dream he had just had, and his eyes welled up with emotions, as if he had grasped at some lifeline, his gaze burning brightly.
