Chapter 2483: The Sorrow of Ling Shu

Ling Shu paused, stunned. She had originally asked Zhu Yanyi only to learn about her past, but her words forced her to face the present reality. As Zhu Yanyi said, life is never perfect. One can only achieve fulfillment through their own efforts. Her own life, in a way, had reached a state of completeness by this moment. At least, she and her brother had reunited. Even though everything had changed, this reunion made up for the regret.

"You are right. Life needs regrets to show how precious fulfillment is. I understand now," Ling Shu smiled.

"Your comprehension is good. Perhaps in your next life, you will still become a very good cultivator," Zhu Yanyi said with a gentle smile.

Ling Shu shook her head slightly. "Actually, in my next life, I don't necessarily want to be a cultivator. But I still hope to be a doctor. Medicine has become part of my bones. I cannot give it up."

Zhu Yanyi looked at Ling Shu and nodded slightly. "Then work hard. With this heart, you will surely become a rare and good doctor." She then added, "Actually, I originally wanted to ask you something, but now I feel it is unnecessary."

"I understand. I know why you don't ask," Ling Shu chuckled softly, as if she had known what she intended to ask all along. "Rest assured, no matter what happens in the future, I am willing to be a good doctor."

Others might not be able to help Ling Shu realize this wish, but Zhu Yanyi could pave a way for her. She was currently a Medical Immortal and was striving to become a Medical God. However, since she was not yet a Medical God, she could not make too grand a promise.

This leisurely stroll lasted nearly four years. Although the time was not long, they were all very happy.

Only the Silver Fox seemed to develop a faint melancholy as the days passed.

This very melancholy made the Silver Fox’s aura even more charming. Yan Aohan saw this but said nothing, because he knew this was the aura that would form after he became a Demon Emperor. Every Emperor has their own unique aura forming slowly, and for the Silver Fox, it was undoubtedly an aura of melancholy.

Ling Shu’s body grew weaker and weaker. One day, they reached the peak of a mountain.

They set up camp on the summit and looked down at everything below.

From the top of the mountain, the buildings always looked like ants, and one could hardly see any human figures.

Yan Aohan looked at the sky, then glanced at Ling Shu, and said to Zhu Yanyi, "It is today."

Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. Ling Shu seemed to sense it too and said, "Yanyi, can I speak with you for a moment?"

"Of course." Zhu Yanyi walked over and sat beside Ling Shu.

Ling Shu’s face looked somewhat translucent; it was clear her time was running out. "Over these years, I have seen your medical skills and understood your ambition. I know your steps will not stop, and in the future, you will be even more unattainable to others.

But that is not what I want to tell you. Although I was once a daughter of the Shen family, the Shen family is already in the past. Therefore, regarding medical arts, I have nothing to instruct you on. I just think, since you are the Demon Empress, I want to ask you to plead with the Demon Emperor."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly, waved Yan Aohan over, and said to Ling Shu, "Speak. As long as it is possible, we, as a couple, will agree to it."

Ling Shu nodded and said, "I know my time has come. So, am I going directly to reincarnation?"

Zhu Yanyi looked at Yan Aohan, letting him answer.

Yan Aohan said, "You are a demon. Originally, the reincarnation of demon souls is the business of the various Venerable Yanluos. I could ignore it, but because of your relationship with Ani, I will personally send you into the cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, in the Underworld now, the Yanluo Residents have been established. If your soul is stable, you could become a Yanluo Resident. But your soul is not stable. The reason you have survived these four years is because of the soul qi I implanted in you. Once you die, your soul will be mostly in a confused state, eventually turning into nothingness. Therefore, it is better for you to go through reincarnation in this state.

Only after experiencing life in the mortal world and solidifying your soul, will you have the possibility of becoming a resident of the Underworld in the future."

Ling Shu smiled. "I do not mind this. I just want to say, after I die, when you send me to reincarnation, can you send me to a family with kind parents? The conditions do not necessarily have to be good, but I want to enjoy family affection properly once. And when I grow up, I also want to enjoy love properly."

"Good, I can promise you this," Yan Aohan said seriously. "I will find you a good place. The parents will be kind, and they are all doctors. This will also be good for your future development."

"Thank you." Ling Shu was satisfied. Then she said, "Then I have no other requests." She then looked at Ouyang Tianyun beside her. "Brother."

Ouyang Tianyun came over and looked at Ling Shu. "Be a good person this time. You did not get to enjoy it in this life, so enjoy it properly in the next life." That was the only blessing a brother could give.

Ling Shu nodded with a smile. "I know, Brother. Brother, do not worry for me, and do not look for my reincarnation. I will live happily. I will be a charming person."

Ouyang Tianyun smiled too. These were not joking words. Ling Shu was a fox demon. With one reincarnation, she would naturally have a charming bone structure. Her luck with romance would likely be abundant in the future.

Her final gaze was directed at the Silver Fox. "Qianhuan."

The Silver Fox came over, sat beside Ling Shu, and took her hand. "I am here."

Ling Shu smiled slightly, her expression full of warmth, without a trace of gloom. "Qianhuan, I know that what you feel for me now is not love. What you feel for me is familial love. I also like having a brother like you.

But in the beginning, I gave you my love, so I always wanted to be selfish once, so I never broke the silence.

Now that it has come to this moment, I feel I should give you an answer. If there is a next life, I will find my lover, the one who loves me and whom I love. You do not need to worry for me. I know you have your own path to walk. Walk it well. Even if we cannot meet again, I am very happy. I am happy to have had your company these years, and happy to have been by your side."

Ling Shu paused here. "Qianhuan, love has never been right or wrong. My love for you, your familial love for me—we have all given our own feelings. So you do not need to feel guilty. I only hope that in the future, you can also find someone you truly love. If you really find that person, can you bring them to let me see them in the future? Even if I do not recognize you."
