Grant a dream to restore that soul.
Shangqing Divine Realm, the God of War's residence.
It was meant to be an ordinary night, but the wind carried an unusual aura.
Ming Ye lay prone on the bed, the steady candlelight, at some unknown point, had distorted into a thin thread, reflecting his furrowed brows.
It was as if he was caught in a nightmare.
“… Ming Ye, I shouldn't have loved you …”
“… You owe me, and don't even dream of repaying it …”
The God of War, always calm and composed, now found himself struggling, utterly at a loss.
No… this can't be happening!
The candlelight suddenly extinguished, and he finally broke free, but his body was like a bow drawn taut.
Ming Ye raised a hand, touching the damp corners of his eyes.
It all… felt too real.
As if he had truly experienced it himself – the stirring of emotions, the heartache, the regret…
“Tang… Jiu?”
He mumbled the name in the darkness.
A name carved into his heart.
The Merman King had recently encountered a minor predicament.
He didn't know what his daughter had mistakenly taken to become so obedient and clingy.
However, this was a good thing.
But in Tang You's eyes, his younger sister had become studious.
“Brother! This spell, how do I form the hand seal correctly?”
The pretty young girl ran to her reliable older brother. Tang You smiled, extending his arms to catch her, preventing her from stumbling.
“Didn't Father just praise you for being sensible? Why are you so reckless again?”
Tang You held the book and lightly tapped his sister's head.
The young girl stuck out her tongue. “You're my brother! You'll definitely catch me!” she chirped, then raised a hand to rub the spot where she was hit, as if it truly pained her.
Tang You wasn't fooled; he gazed at her and chuckled softly.
“Come here and sit. Don't you want to learn?”
“Yes, yes!”
It was a feeling of peace.
Tang You glanced worriedly at his sister's eyes.
He didn't know why, but he felt his sister was hiding something in her heart.
The little princess of Mo River must surely be safe and happy.
Tang Jiu, engrossed in her studies, did not notice her brother's worry.
This life… she must diligently cultivate, protect Mo River, protect her brother and father. As for that person… she would not love him again.
She thought.
She shouldn't repeat past mistakes.
