Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 551

Chapter 551: 551

"My name is Lan She . We knew each other before, but many millennia have passed since then . You were a very important person to me, and I have been searching for a way to meet you once more .

"I understand that the person I knew back then is not the same as the one who stands in front of me now, but still, I have been looking for you, and wish to offer you the opportunity to leave the Ghost Realm alongside me . "

Lan paused for some time while looking at the self-confident woman in front of him, and he felt relieved .

"Do not worry, I am not looking to have anything in return, nor do I wish to tie you by my side when we leave; my only hope is that you can be happy . "

Mo Lian felt conflicted when she noticed the sad but sincere light within Lan’s eyes . He did not seem to be trying to trick her, but genuinely just wished for her to live a good life .

"Why?"

Although she knew that she had been living in another world before, Mo Lian’s memories were limited to her time within the Ghost Realm . Here, no one would be gentle towards others without wanting to gain something in return, and the acts of Lan made her puzzled .

When she had arrived, she had already been ready to try and find the lower limits of the snake-like creature . She had no interest in following him for life, but she also did not wish to stay in the Ghost Realm .

Now that she knew that she could get away without paying any cost, she suddenly felt uncomfortable . She could not help but to slander herself for being too emotionally complicated .

Lan understood her confusion and sighed deeply . Since she did not know of her previous life’s experiences, it was indeed hard to believe a person like him was so good towards others .

"I am not a native to the world where you were born . When I arrived there, you were already an adult, but life was hard . The world had many different races living among one another, and these races often mixed their bloodlines .

"These children of mixed blood were either highly gifted and talented, or they were completely unable to gain strength and cultivate .

"Li Zhiqing, your previous reincarnation, was one of these mixed-blood descendants without the ability to cultivate . You had been chased away by your family, and when I found you, you were living by a lake in a small wooden hut .

"The experiences you had gone through would have been enough to make any person bitter and full of hatred, but whenever I looked at you, all I saw was satisfaction .

"One day, I asked you how you were able to overcome the sadness of being chased away, and you told me that while no one can change the past, there is always the option of living for the future .

"As a person who could not cultivate, life was short . I was by your side every day of your life, watching as you slowly grew weaker and weaker, until one day, you were gone .

"The time I spent with you was short, but it was the most impactful and happiest time of my long life, and I could never forget about your ability to dispel any negativity from my mind .

"I am aware that many things have changed, but I do not believe your core personality will change . It is because of this that I wish to help you gain a second chance at life .

"All the things you could not experience the first time due to your weak body, I wish you can see now . All the things you dreamt of trying out, I hope you can attempt them now .

"I am aware that our relationship might never become what it was, but I will be satisfied as long as you are able to live freely and full of happiness once more . "

Lan had decided to express his honest emotions to Mo Lian . He had no intention of hiding the truth for her, or trying to sugarcoat the reality .

Li Zhiqing was the most important person in his heart, and Mo Lian deserved to know what kind of person she had been before .

The honesty in Lan’s words caused everyone present to be taken by surprise . Xue Wei had never seen Lan acting this free and happy, and he could not help but feel that no matter what would happen in the future, this silly snake had at least managed to let go of his obsession .

Mo Lian had understood that this human was the mingshe she had expected to look like a little pet .

Every thought that she had prepared beforehand, she had crumbled in front of this strangely familiar face, and she had felt her innermost being soften and felt a comfortable warmth spreading through her frozen core, while listening to his words .

She was aware that their relationship could not become what it had been before, but she was no longer that resistant to getting to know him .

His words showed a significant amount of consideration, and she felt pampered and spoiled in a way she had never experienced before .

"Do not overthink . For now, we still have a few things we need to wrap up here in the Ghost Realm, and when we leave, we would like for you to come with us . If you wish to join us in our return to the world of the living, then the future is in your own hands . "

Lan glanced at the branch leader who was standing by the side and remembered the words that the Ox-headed expert had told Xue Wei when they entered the Ghost Realm . They had a limited number of slots for people to travel from one world to the other, but it should not be too much to also bring the branch leader along .
