Chapter 139 You must cherish each other.
"I miss you so much, but I also feel that you were right to leave me." Ling Yun's gaze pierced through thirty years, fixed on Hei Ying, or rather... Jian You.
This is a name that only Ling Yun would use.
"Your world is a boundless universe, there's no need for someone like me with so many concerns to be tied to you." Ling Yun lowered her eyes. "There will definitely be someone more suitable for you, someone who can accompany you to go wherever you want openly and honestly, without having to sneak around like we do."
Jian You's eyes reddened, and she shook her head slightly.
no.
There is no such person, and he has never thought of being with anyone else.
The projected Ling Yun took a deep breath and looked at the wall that was nothing to her: "I love you."
Her smile was gentle, but a hint of sadness flickered in her eyes: "But I also love myself. I can't give up my beliefs, everything I've fought for, to go with you. So you don't need to blame yourself. Even if we could do it all over again, I would still make the same choice and fight to the very end."
Jian You whispered, "I know."
She has great love in her heart, for her country, and for her people.
But the despicable man only had her.
Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "We... have another baby, and I named him Su Yu. He was over two years old when I recorded this video. I wonder how old he will be when you see this video."
When Ling Suyu was mentioned, her expression turned slightly dejected: "He is the person I have wronged the most in this world. I am on the front line and cannot take care of him in person."
"I know you hate children. If you have the chance to see this video, please don't treat Su Yu as a burden."
Ling Yun said solemnly, "I have arranged for someone to guard him at the Lico Fortress. If nothing unexpected happens, he will grow up happily and peacefully. It's okay if you don't want to acknowledge him. I just hope you know that he exists."
Jian You listened quietly to Ling Yun's words, but her face was as pale as paper.
While he was completely unaware, Ling Yun had already arranged everything and was fully prepared to leave this world.
"You always ask me why I went to fight the monsters. At the time, I couldn't explain why either. I just hated the turbulent environment."
Ling Yun laughed again, just as brightly as Jian You remembered.
She actually loves to laugh, but too many heavy burdens weigh on her, forcing her to suppress her smile and adopt a calm and composed demeanor.
"Now I'm going to fight the Beast King. This time I have a clear reason. I don't want Su Yu to live in this kind of environment in the future. I hope he can have a bright future without being disturbed, and be free to do what he wants to do, instead of walking on the edge of danger like you and me."
Ling Yun smiled and waved, tears welling in her eyes: "Goodbye, Xiao You."
The projection disappeared into the air, along with Ling Yun's figure.
Jian You subconsciously reached out to stop him, but only touched the invisible air.
"...You're lying."
He choked up as he spoke.
We'll never see each other again.

Only after the kitchen had prepared a lavish meal to entertain the guests did Wen Shumu dare to knock on the door of the reception room.
Black Firefly stayed inside all afternoon and didn't come out.
"Father...cough cough, Mr. Jian," Wen Shumu said through the doorway, "it's time for dinner."
The door opened from the inside, and the black-clad Alpha stepped out, his expression as calm as it had been that afternoon, as if Ling Yun's belongings had not had much of an impact on him.
Wen Shumu gazed at his profile, yet keenly sensed something different.
Black Firefly's current state is just like... Ling Suyu when she's in a bad mood.
Before we knew it, the moon was high in the sky, like a jade plate emitting a faint silver light, and the light moonlight enveloped the entire manor.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Allison, who had been acting strangely during the day, enthusiastically served Blackfire food, her eyes shining with admiration.
No wonder he's the marshal's father, he's really handsome!
Black Firefly: "..."
Wen Shumu glanced at Allison with amusement, letting him circle around Blackfire.
Wen Shumu's smile froze slightly as he looked back at Hei Ying's face.
He still had many questions for Blackfire.
After the two finished their meal, Allison served dessert.
Receiving a glance from Wen Shumu, he tactfully led the waiters out of the restaurant, giving the two space to talk.
Hei Ying looked at the strawberry mousse on the table and nudged it towards Wen Shumu: "You seem to like this."
He just gave it a casual push, but unexpectedly, Omega's eyes welled up with tears.
This space pirate, who was feared throughout the entire galaxy, was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and looked for tissues to wipe his tears.
"I'm sorry, I just remembered that he'd done something like that before." Wen Shumu took the paper. "But how did you know my preferences?"
Black Firefly's expression froze slightly as she said, "I've watched a bit of your program."
Wen Shumu casually wiped his face a couple of times and put down the paper: "You can learn about Su Yu through programs or various channels, but he doesn't even know if his father is still alive."
He tentatively asked, "Why did you and General Ling separate back then?"
He remembered hearing from Dr. Peng Qing that the two of them had a falling out.
Black Firefly remained silent for a moment. Just when Wen Shumu thought he wouldn't answer, he suddenly spoke up: "I have no nationality, no citizenship card. I've been a space pirate since I was a child, growing up on a starship, living a nomadic life, until I met Ling Yun on a border star of the Empire."
One is a promising researcher, the other is a notorious space pirate.
Knowing that there was no future for him and Ling Yun, he still fell into a complicated emotion called love like a moth drawn to a flame.
"Back then, the situation with the mutated beasts was far more serious than it is now. She didn't want to stay in the safe research institute anymore and decided to go to the front lines to fight the mutated beasts herself. I didn't want her to go to such a dangerous place. So, we had a big fight." A shadow fell over Hei Ying's eyes.
"I asked her if she had considered my feelings, and what I would do if something happened to her. She said she had, but still had to make this decision. Then I stormed off in a huff."
Hei Ying gave a self-deprecating smile: "Back then, I was young and impetuous. I thought we were on different paths and couldn't work together. Who can't live without whom? She only cared about others. She didn't even care about her own safety in order to protect others, and she didn't care about my thoughts. Why should I keep revolving around her?"
Wen Shumu's brows furrowed, and he gripped the tissue he was using to wipe his tears tightly.
Black Firefly's voice seemed to tremble slightly: "It's mostly because I was very confident back then, thinking that no matter what, we would eventually be together, since we still have so much time in the world."
Yi Hao was right. He knew in his heart that the royal family was not the root cause of all this.
Hatred of the royal family was merely a driving force that allowed him to continue living a precarious existence.
Wen Shumu felt a tightness in his chest, but didn't know what to say.
The room was so quiet that you could almost hear his own heartbeat.
Black Firefly looked up at him: "You two should cherish each other and stay together. Don't end up like me..."
Wen Shumu's eyes were deep and filled with helpless tears: "But I can't find him."
Blackfire looked at him for a while, then stood up: "I don't trust those useless legions of the Empire. I will personally go to the Yosef system and bring your husband back."
Wen Shumu paused for a moment, then immediately stood up, her eyes shining brightly. She hesitated before asking, "Are you alone?"
Although the Yosef system is not vast, it contains thousands of large and small, uninhabited planets, making a search no easy task.
Upon hearing this, Black Firefly revealed a slight smile: "Didn't you just check my information? I also have some subordinates."
Wen Shumu then remembered that the StarNet said Blackfire had a huge pirate group.
"Don't underestimate the power of space pirates. They might know about tiny planets that aren't even on a map," Blackfire said as she walked toward the door.
