Chapter 56: I Never Hate You [Trapped In Illusionary Array]
[Inner Domain, The Great Mount Kunlun Mountain, Second Layer]
Again, she climbed the mountain to reach the second layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain with the same method as she used to. Of course, her state again was miserable, yet it wasn't far better than before because the second layer of the Great Mount Kunlun mountain was much higher than the first layer.
Through the entire process of climbing, sweat dripped from her body, wetting her soft and long, like waterfall hair, while Huang Wan Yan was better than she was at climbing, so he didn't take much effort.
Even if Huang Wan Yan's skin was scratched by the rock and torn apart in some place, he felt nothing. The boy didn't even frown, as long as he could accompany her.
The road to climbing wasn't easy; the mountain's rock was slippery and rough. She almost fell down many times. On the verge of struggling, grabbing some kind of strange vine that was swaying as the wind blew, she could barely save herself from falling down.
The vines that grew on this Spiritual Continent weren't the same as the vines on the earth. These vines were soft but tough enough to keep the people from falling. The vines were green and purple.
Along the way, she encountered some of the other rookies who were climbing the mountain. Their states were much more miserable and bitter than Huang Ying Yue.
(A month later)
After a very long time, she reached the second layer. During this time, she relaxed when she reached her limit, and she stopped when her body was on the verge of collapsing to the point of not being able to move.
Her speed was extremely fast since she learned the law of climbing.
"Finally…" A girl's soft voice could be heard. Her face was sweaty and a little pale because of excessive energy use and struggling.
She now understood another important thing. As long as you immerse yourself in doing something and persist in it, the time will be shortened, and the speed will be many times faster than when you complain and do nothing.
There seemed to be something that blocked the sunlight from shining on the entire mountain. The fog floated everywhere, shrouding the entire mountain that reached the sky.
Huang Ying Yue and Huang Wan Yan looked around. There was nothing to be seen here except the empty land.
She was stunned. She imagined countless scenes that she might be able to see after reaching here, but the reality made her speechless. Too quiet, as if there were no living beings living here. She remembered that when she first arrived here, it was morning.
How could it turn completely dark at night now? Not only the sky changed, but even the environment here was extremely weird and scary.
Not even a trace of plants or animals could be seen.
Nevertheless, the girl looked around and raised her vigilance.
"Brother…" Just when she turned around, wanting to check on Huang Wan Yan, she found out that Huang Wan Yan had disappeared.
{YunYun, LiLi, LanLan?} She called her beasts through the contract channel, but unfortunately, no matter how she tried, no one responded.
She wanted to take something from the Ethereal small world, but when she wanted to look into her small world, she was shocked to find that she had lost her connection with the space.
For the first time in her life, she doubted where she was. She looked around; there was nothing. When she looked in front, she only saw the blurry emptiness in the fog.
When she turned to look back, she couldn't find the way to the edge of the second layer of this mountain that she had just climbed.
Just when she was pondering what was happening, something made her startled.
In front of her, two figures could be seen. First, she was unable to recognize two figures, but the longer she looked, the more she felt that her heart beat fast.
"...." Huang Ying Yue's eyes were dull as her brain went blank.
"Child, we come to take you to our home." A middle-aged beautiful woman in modern clothes stretched out her hand in front of Huang Ying Yue.
"Come with us; we really regret what we've done to you. We will never leave you again, and we'll love you as long as you come back with us." Another middle-aged man in modern clothes uttered.
These two people were the parents who let her, Bei YueYue, have the chance to open her eyes and see the beautiful world, yet cruelly abandoned her like she was some kind of trash that no one wanted.
That time, their eyes filled with ruthlessness and nothing less, as if Bei YueYue wasn't their child but was a stranger. Now, these eyes are filled with love and affection.
"My daughter, come with my mother. Our family will unite, and we'll atone for our sin for you." The woman said it with sadness, as if she regretted her past actions. She and her husband walked closer to Huang Ying Yue, who was dazed.
Huang Ying Yue listened and looked at their affection for her. She slowly smiled and passed them by. Her smile was so gentle and peaceful, as if she weren't the real person. This wasn't the attitude that should be shown toward the people who wanted to kill her and abandoned her life like trash.
"Daughter, what do you mean? Do you still resent us? Do you hate us?" The couple asked her in a hurry, panicking.
The atmosphere was quiet, and a lonely and sad aura emitted from Huang Ying Yue's spirit. Her eyes flashed with an unknown light.
"Hate? I don't hate you." She said this without turning her face to them.
"Resent? No, I never resent anyone. I don't know how to hate or resent people. Rather than hating you, I'm grateful that you permit me to have the opportunity to be born." She said it slowly and calmly.
"Since you both have shown up here, allow me to confess something first. I don't know whether you're the real person or not, and I'm not certain that my words reached you. Maybe you have your own difficulties for abandoning me and wanting to kill me, or perhaps you don't have any reason for doing that at all."
"Yet, there is never once in my heart that I hate you. I don't want your love because, in the first place, I never expected something or forced someone to love me. If loving me makes your life difficult, then I would rather not allow you to love me. You know what... though I don't understand much what family love is, but I guess that the moment you thought about killing me, that's when I realized that in your heart, there was no affection for me."
After Huang Ying Yue said many long sentences, she walked forward to the foggy and empty road without looking back.
The figures of the couple looked at each other; their eyes turned from dullness to astonishment, and then they disappeared strangely from the place as if they never existed.
