At this moment, Ren Fei'er resembled a little girl searching for her beloved possession.
Choking with sobs, Ren Fei'er searched around. She felt that the person she longed for was right beside her.
She missed him so much...
Everyone in the celestial palace of the Divine Realm was a bit surprised. What was this? Had the lady gone mad again? When was the last time you saw the cold and unapproachable goddess lose her composure? Ten years ago? Twenty years ago? What happened today?
Ren Fei'er wiped away her tears, staring blankly at the object left behind by the burst of blood energy in her hand.
At that moment, the object unexpectedly emitted a familiar voice.
"Fei'er, all beings in this world are lonely. It's not their fault they've never seen you. I once said that I wanted to be an ordinary young man in this world, and let you be the moonlight in my heart, hoping that this light would always shine on me. Please don't think about avenging me. Listen to me one last time, okay?"
It seemed to Su Fei'er that she saw the face she longed for day and night reappear before her, stroking her hair. She was in a daze, as if she could never look away. She turned the object over and over in her hands, sitting on the ground, hugging her legs, her body trembling uncontrollably. Suddenly, she smiled. That instant smile was so beautiful that it seemed to bring warmth back to the cold palace.
Her face turned cold.
The three main gods! They would be her sole purpose for living from now on!
After half a day, Ren Fei'er put away the blood-colored fragments, staring blankly for a long time. She gently caressed the last remnant of his aura, or perhaps it was a hopeful fantasy. She wanted to go to the place where the battle occurred to see if she could find anything else. But the next moment, a dignified elder appeared above Ren Fei'er. "Fei'er, where are you going? You are injured; you cannot leave the palace!"
Ren Fei'er discreetly froze the blood-colored fragment and secretly placed it inside her robe.
The elder, known as Tian Lao, sighed as he looked at his beloved granddaughter. "Don't be so obsessed. Senlei perished in that battle long ago. Stop harboring any illusions; it's impossible. If he were alive, with my current cultivation level, I would sense it. Stop imagining things! If you hadn't blocked that fatal heavenly tribulation for him back then, he would have died much sooner. He fought for the sacred fruit for you, so it was only right! Yan'an grew up with you, but a foolish boy suddenly appeared and ruined everything! What a sin! Yan'an has been in the Star Sea for these years. I heard he's about to break through to the Lord God realm. When he returns, you will marry him! Heal your wounds during this time and don't even think about going out!"
After listening, Ren Fei'er's eyes turned cold. She knew exactly who had leaked Senlei's whereabouts.
In the past, the only reason she didn't follow her brother Senlei in death and endured the pain of living was because the people who killed him were not all dead yet! She needed to avenge him!
Brother Senlei, you must still be watching me, right?
Although her power wasn't strong yet, this goal was the only thing keeping her alive.
…
Senlei woke up from his bed, first looking at his left hand, relieved to find it appeared normal. If it had been like it was in that dark space, others might have thought he was possessed. This minimized a lot of trouble.
Turning around, he saw his mother sleeping soundly, her face showing exhaustion. This warmth touched Senlei deeply. On Earth, his parents had divorced, and he was raised by his grandparents. After they passed away a few years ago, a dispirited Senlei had drowned himself in video games. Now, he felt the warmth he once knew again.
Senlei quietly got out of bed, covered his mother with his blanket, and sneaked out.
Although his spiritual power had been drained and his spiritual root destroyed, his blood energy had gradually strengthened. Just one night had made Senlei feel different. The skills he learned in that unknown space were still fresh in his mind, making him eager to try them out.
At that moment, an anxious young girl ran up to him, hugging him and patting his head, looking like a cute little girl. Senlei was a bit stunned. She seemed to be about fourteen or fifteen years old. She looked at Senlei with big eyes, "Brother Crown Prince, you woke up! I was so worried about you! When I saw their expressions back then, I thought I would never see you again." With that, she leaned against Senlei, whining, "They didn't tell me what happened to you! I was so worried!"
Senlei looked at the mischievous girl, bewildered, "Who are you...?"
The girl's previously cheerful face instantly fell. "Oh no, brother's illness has made him forget me," she pouted and started crying.
This frightened Senlei. "Don't cry, please, don't cry. People will think I did something to you... Don't cry, okay?" But the girl's sobs only grew louder.
Senlei panicked and covered her mouth. "Don't cry, don't cry. If you stop crying, I'll play with you." He held her head down gently.
"Okay!" The girl immediately stopped crying and started smiling, leaving Senlei dumbfounded.
The girl grabbed Senlei's hand, skipping towards the nearby pond.
Half the day was spent with Senlei still confused, wasting time with the girl.
By noon, Meng'e, Senlei's mother, found him missing and hurried out. She saw Senlei with the little princess from the Grand Master's family, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Senlei watched the little girl play joyfully, feeling a bit helpless. Through their conversations, he learned that she was the daughter of the Grand Master, Wei Xiaoxiao. From his hazy memories, he recalled that he used to pamper this girl a lot. When he was attacked, the Grand Master had kept the news from her, only telling her that her brother was ill. She had been worried and sad for quite some time, even stopping her cultivation, remaining at the ninth level of spiritual energy without breaking through.
Seeing his mother approaching, Senlei quickly said, "Mother, you're here. I just woke up and didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't call you. Hehe."
Meng'e looked at Senlei's playful expression, feeling much relieved. "My son, you scared me to death. Your father and I had no idea what was happening to you. We must have Physician Sun examine you again. Don't be careless. Spiritual power can be cultivated again, but if I lose you, I won't live!" Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.
Senlei quickly responded, "Mother, don't worry. I'm fine! Xiaoxiao is here; let's not talk about this."
Seeing Xiaoxiao skipping over, Meng'e wiped her tears and composed herself.
Wei Xiaoxiao greeted Meng'e politely, "Hello, Empress!"
Meng'e playfully rubbed Wei Xiaoxiao's head. "You little rascal! The Crown Prince just recovered, and you took him out to play. You really are a troublemaker."
Wei Xiaoxiao's eyes turned into crescent moons as she replied, "Oh, I saw Brother Senlei looking very healthy, except for his mind being a bit fuzzy. He didn't even remember me! Hmph!"
Senlei could only smile helplessly.
Meng'e covered her mouth and laughed.
"Alright, it's noon. Let's have lunch together. I cooked personally today," Meng'e said, pulling the two of them along.
"Great! I get to eat something delicious!" Wei Xiaoxiao jumped up in joy.
Senlei muttered, "You little glutton..."
…
Feng Kingdom
"Smash!" The man in luxurious purple robes angrily threw the cup in his hand, shattering it in front of three black-clad men. "Useless fools! Over twenty spiritual sea realm warriors hiding for ten years couldn't kill a mere spiritual body brat? What am I keeping you for?"
The black-clad men trembled, with one constantly kowtowing. "Your Majesty, it's impossible. The boy was definitely dead. We confirmed it for a long time after pulling out his spiritual root. There must be some mistake!"
"Not believing until you see the coffin, huh? Let me show you!" The ruler of Feng Kingdom, Feng Jun, produced a message, revealing that Senlei was still alive.
The black-clad men were in disbelief. "Impossible! Impossible, Your Majesty!"
Feng Jun sighed. "I know you're not lying, but you were too careless. How do you know that kid didn't have something to save his life? Fortunately, you destroyed his spiritual power. Otherwise, raising you all these years would have been in vain! Get out of my sight!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" The three black-clad men scrambled away.
From the shadows to Feng Jun's left, a person emerged, coldly asking, "Leave or not leave?"
"Don't leave. Clean it up!"
"Understood."
…
Senlei looked at the table full of delicacies, devouring them with gusto. His increasing blood energy and newly acquired skills had significantly boosted his appetite, leaving Meng'e and Wei Xiaoxiao stunned. It seemed like he hadn't eaten for centuries, like a starving ghost reborn.
After lunch, Wei Xiaoxiao reluctantly left. As she walked away, she kept glancing back at Senlei, biting her pink
