Chapter 666: Deeply Rooted Affection (111)
"Yes, Wanwan always forgets her dreams in the morning and keeps calling for her mother."
"The red-clothed woman is probably my sister; she loved red and was fond of dancing. It must be the influence of the Huiling Sword recognizing its master that has brought you here today. The sword also played a role in leading you to this place."
Gu Lili felt that made sense, as these unusual experiences never occurred before the sword recognized its master, "In my past life, I was just an ordinary cat by Seventh Prince’s side, but that cat was merely my Host Spirit Body, not my true self. It seems I was sealed inside it by someone."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yu asked, "Then haven’t you let Long Chan help you find your true self?"
"I’ve already decided not to search," Gu Lili admitted frankly, "I am here today merely out of curiosity."
"Not to search?" Jun Yu was puzzled, "Why not?"
"Because if I were to find it, I would forget everything about the mortal world, and I don’t want to forget, nor take the risk."
"You should search," Jun Yu told her clearly, "You should understand who you really are, instead of missing the opportunity just because you’re afraid of forgetting the present. Moreover, as long as your mortal body exists, you can recover your memories. Have you thought about the family and friends you don’t want to forget from the mortal world? What about your original family and friends? They might be waiting for you to return, looking forward to it."
At that moment, Long Yubei changed his mind, "Lili, I think what Immortal Jun Yu says makes a lot of sense. I shouldn’t selfishly fear that you’ll forget me; you should reclaim yourself. I don’t want you to have regrets."
"But..." She started to struggle internally.
"No ’buts,’ Lili, I fully support you now. Even if you forget us all, I will pull you back into this body and make you remember us," Long Yubei asserted firmly, looking at her, "I was only considering us and failed to consider your original family. That wasn’t right."
Gu Lili nodded, "Immortal Venerable, you just mentioned waiting for your sister to awaken one day. If I may be so bold, what happened to the Goddess?"
"It’s a matter from a distant era. My sister was seriously injured in a great battle with the Demon Clan many years ago, and I speculate that was when she was saved by an ancestor of the Long Family. I have no knowledge of what happened in between. By the time we found her, she was already unconscious, her Primordial Spirit gone," Jun Yu continued, "The Rejuvenation Netherworld Sword was forged under my sister’s instruction. She usually never let the Rejuvenation Sword out of her grasp; it was her Magic Artifact. The Netherworld Sword was intended for her future husband. If what you say is true, then I deduce that, back in those days when she entrusted both swords to the ancestor of the Long Family, she probably knew her chances of survival were slim."
Hearing his words, a faint scene formed in Gu Lili’s mind, depicting a beautiful Goddess gravely wounded.
Her expression unconsciously grew more solemn.
Seeing her mournful look, Jun Yu said, "If you can confirm that your original true body is from the Heavenly World, I can help you verify it. If it’s from the Demon World or Demon World, then I’m afraid I can’t be of assistance."
"How can you be such a kind person, Immortal Venerable," Gu Lili said with a smile, "then let me thank you in advance."
"There’s no need for thanks, for I understand the longing for a loved one’s return," Jun Yu said indifferently, "You may stay here tonight."
Long Yubei spoke, "We’re grateful for Immortal Venerable’s kindness. We have our luggage at the hotel, and we came here out of curiosity. Now that our questions have been answered, we will be leaving tomorrow."
"If that’s the case, then I won’t insist on you staying."
"Then if we really need Immortal Venerable’s help in this regard, how should we contact you? Should we come back here?"
