Chapter 976: Side story: After you die, I will continue loving you while hiding it from everyone (Part 2)
In the end, I saved her.
Or it could be said that I wasn’t willing to let her sacrifice herself.
Because I wasn’t willing to see her die.
Then we just got to know each other. I went with her into the imperial palace and she went with me to gather tears.
At first I wanted to open the life and death stage to restore my divine power, but then.....
I was afraid of opening the life and death stage because I was afraid of my calamity.
That calamity from hundreds of years ago, if the important person was myself, I could take that bet!
But if it was her, I couldn’t take that bet......
It was a pity that god always loved to torture you. If you didn’t turn into ashes, you would never be willing to give up.
Once the life and death stage was opened, I knew that my calamity was coming.
When I changed my important person, when that most important person was no longer myself.
The calamity came.
Ha, this really was cruel.
At that moment, the wind of the life and death stage was so strong, it blurred my eyes and blew my heart away.
I almost went crazy then as I thought of dying with her.
I tightly held her and hoped that the wind wouldn’t be that strong, hoping that the life and death stage wouldn’t take her away, hoping that all the calamities would fall onto me.
Even if I turned to bones and ashes, with my soul scattering, it was fine.
But in the end I couldn’t keep her. She said that she would be back and I wanted to believe with everything that it was true!
I spent seven days in a daze, not knowing if I was human, ghost, or king.
In the underworld filled with demons and souls, it was like nothing was related to me and there was only her in my world.
In the end, after seven days, I felt her aura on the way to Ten Thousand Ghost City.
I went as fast as I could to prove this thought and finally I saw her standing in the middle of ghosts when I landed.
She had a strange mask and was holding a jade fan, looking at me like she was stunned.
And I didn’t even think as I tightly took her in my embrace.
At that moment, it almost made my tears come out. Excitement, joy, fear, possession, and reuniting.....
Everything surrounded me and her, there was only me and her.
I stayed with her in the human world for a time, buying a villa and living a peaceful life.
But I was a ghost king and she was human. I knew that she had a short life.
But I felt that such a life was too short. So short that when she hid her withered face, I almost cried.
“I’m old......”
“Fool, I’m the same!”
I ate the Aging Pill to become old with her, but she knew that I could change back whenever I wanted.
In the last years, she liked to lean on my shoulder and watch the moonlight. I liked holding her and thinking how good it would be if I was also a mortal. After her soul went to the underworld, should I keep her memories?
Should I let her reincarnate or let her stay in the underworld?
I always thought that this would be the only problem I would face.
However, god wouldn’t give this to me!
When she died of old age, I thought that I could see her soul and bring her to the underworld.
But her soul scattered the moment it left her body, disappearing just like that......
Not leaving a trace......
She was dead, forever dead.
One year, two years, three years, four years......
Time passed very quickly, so fast that it had already been a thousand years since she left me.
I couldn’t remember her face and even her voice slowly faded. But that obsession in my heart never left.
There would always be someone who asked me——
“Ghost king, are you still thinking of your queen? It’s been this many years, are you used to being alone?”
I would always reply with a lazy smile.
“My wife asked me to wait, so I’m waiting!”
The Netherworld Road, the river of forgetting, the regret before the Regret Bridge.
Take my entire life’s thoughts and scatter them like flowers.
