Chapter 149 The Moon in the Water, The One in My Heart
Lu Yuanyuan was lost in thought in the evening breeze when she suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice. Turning around, she saw a young girl standing behind her.
The girl looked to be under twenty years old, with long hair and a pretty face, but for some reason, she always gave off a sneaky vibe and her behavior was quite suspicious.
Lu Yuanyuan instinctively became wary. Unexpectedly, the other person, while observing her expression, slowly swallowed, as if exchanging a secret signal, and tentatively asked, "Perhaps, your surname is Lu, and you've even read 'The Enchanting Fairy'?"
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
Fifteen minutes later, at the milk tea shop across the street.
By the window, Lu Yuanyuan and the girl stared at each other across the table, their eyes meeting. After a long while, Lu Yuanyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer and broke the silence: "How—how did you find me?"
That's right, the uninvited guest in front of us is none other than Xiao Ruo, who returned to Earth from another world with Lu Yuanyuan!
In the real world, Xiao Ruo isn't called Xiao Ruo, nor is she the charming and charismatic little fox demon from "The Enchanting Fairy Tale." Her true identity is a student currently attending university in a neighboring city.
Looking at the girl with black-rimmed glasses perched on her nose, Lu Yuanyuan found it hard to connect her with the Xiao Ruo she remembered.
I guess the other person felt the same way.
Lu Yuanyuan's feelings were complicated. She never thought she would meet Xiao Ruo again in this world. However, Xiao Ruo's appearance at least proved that the cultivation world was real, and not just her own imagination.
Xiao Ruo took a big gulp of milk tea, swallowed it down, wiped her mouth, and didn't hide anything: "The system told me."
Lu Yuanyuan asked in surprise, "You didn't unbind yourself from the system?"
"How could that be? I unlinked it a long time ago. I asked it before I unlinked it." Xiao Ru shrugged. "The system didn't tell me your real information or show me any photos. It only told me where I could wait for you."
Lu Yuanyuan said, "Aren't you afraid of mistaking someone for someone else?"
Xiao Ruo said, "Before you came, I had already mistaken more than a dozen people. Fortunately, only you and I could match the code."
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
Having traveled so far, it couldn't have been just to catch up, could it? Lu Yuanyuan lowered her eyes: "You called me here because you need something?"
As soon as the topic was brought up, Xiao Ru's expression changed slightly. She paused for a moment, then said, "Before the system disappeared, it gave me something."
Sizzle—
Xiao Ruo unzipped her backpack and took out a canvas storage bag. It seemed to contain some hard object, about the size of an egg, and it was bulging.
Xiao Ru pushed the storage bag to the center of the table and withdrew her hand.
Lu Yuanyuan's gaze fell upon it: "What is this thing?"
Xiao Ruo didn't answer her question directly. She turned her head, looked at the bustling street outside the window, and said softly, "I'm different from you. I've never had any attachment to that world, nor have I been attached to the people there. Holding this thing always makes me feel uneasy. Originally, I planned to destroy it directly, but then I felt that someone else was more deserving of it than I was."
Xiao Ru gave a self-deprecating laugh, as if she had finally let go.
"From now on, let's not contact each other anymore. If you don't want to keep this, just throw it away."
These were the last words Xiaoruo left before she packed her schoolbag and left.
...
In the stillness of the night, Lu Yuanyuan sat alone at her desk. The light from the desk lamp illuminated a pale pink oval object with four buttons below its square screen, making it look like an old-fashioned electronic pet game console.
Of course, this is not a children's toy.
Pressing the power button, the screen lights up, but no electronic dog or cat appears; only two key icons are visible. The left key is a dull gray and cannot be pressed, while the right key is clearly visible.
This thing is the final reward that Xiaoruo's system left her—a time-space key that allows her to freely travel between two worlds.
This time, there's no need to be tied to any complicated tasks or exploited by the system. Users can travel between the two worlds an unlimited number of times to do what they want and see who they want.
Once the device is turned on, the time flow between the two worlds will be automatically adjusted so that for every day that passes on Earth, a year passes in the other world.
Almost six hours have passed since Lu Yuanyuan started filming. That's equivalent to a season over there.
She desperately wanted to know what would happen to the other world after she returned home, and whether Duan Lansheng had survived. But now, with the opportunity before her, she felt a sense of trepidation, akin to the bittersweet feeling of returning home.
It turns out that she can also be timid, afraid of the unknown, afraid of change, and even more afraid that the answer will not be what she wants.
Perhaps, she should do as the system suggested, forget everything, and stop getting involved in this mess.
But... she has spent many times more time in that world than she has on Earth.
All those experiences were unforgettable. How could she possibly treat them as just a dream, as the system suggested?
She had loved, hated, killed, lied to, and felt guilty towards Duan Lansheng. But now, having learned the truth about her past life, her state of mind had completely changed.
The morning light streamed in through the window; before I knew it, it was already dawn. The night vanished, the first rays of sunlight rose, and the horizon burst forth with a magnificent golden-red sunrise.
The past is dead, and the future is like this.
Lu Yuanyuan raised her hand and forcefully wiped away the moisture that had seeped from the corner of her eyes.
She admitted that she still wanted to go back and take a look.
Because she still had ties to that world.
.
Although she had made up her mind to go back, Lu Yuanyuan still made some careful preparations.
The system disappeared without a word, leaving behind the Time-Space Key without any instructions. Lu Yuanyuan had no way of knowing where the body she had possessed in the book's world had gone after she returned to Earth.
Did it enter the time tunnel with her and then get destroyed during the journey?
Or perhaps, after her soul returned to Earth, her body became an empty shell and fell into that other world?
This is a very serious problem.
Lu Yuanyuan's last time travel was a soul transmigration, inhabiting the body of a princess of the Yan Kingdom. If that disguise is gone, she will most likely use her true form to transmigrate this time.
The world of "The Enchanting Fairy Tale" is not a society governed by law; monsters roam freely, and war rages constantly among mortals. She is a healthy, ordinary person, but once she arrives there, she becomes utterly useless in combat.
Although she didn't think the system would be that unreliable, she still had to be prepared for the worst. After all, she was a little worried that if her only physical body was damaged, she might not be able to return to Earth.
Despite not having slept all night, Lu Yuanyuan wasn't sleepy at all. She quickly packed a schoolbag, filling it with food, medicine, self-defense tools, and gold jewelry. She also bought a set of traditional Chinese clothing and had it delivered to her home via local courier.
If she were wearing a suitcase, all that luggage should be able to be teleported with her, right?
Nearly six hours passed during these preparations.
As noon approached, Lu Yuanyuan, fully prepared, stood in the center of the living room, took a deep breath, took out the Key of Time and Space, selected the key on the right, and pressed it.
...
In an instant, the world changed.
A faint fragrance wafted on the breeze. Before Lu Yuanyuan even opened her eyes, she felt a pure spiritual energy flowing through her limbs and bones.
Lu Yuanyuan opened her eyes in surprise and found that she had returned to the body of the Yan Kingdom princess!
Turning around, sure enough, her schoolbag was also gone.
She had gone to so much trouble to prepare all that... But at least she was able to retrieve the login password for this max-level account. She had gone through so much trouble to ascend from a mortal to a Spirit Balance Immortal Lord, she didn't want to go back to the starting village and start all over again.
Lu Yuanyuan looked around. It was a forest, and beyond the treetops, golden-roofed pavilions stood side by side. Just as the scenery seemed familiar, she heard heavy footsteps clattering on fallen leaves approaching from behind.
The newcomer walked quickly, making no attempt to conceal his footsteps. In an instant, Lu Yuanyuan was turned around.
"Lu Yuanyuan! It really is you!" Yue Hong grabbed her shoulders tightly, staring at her face as if repeatedly confirming that it was her. He exclaimed excitedly, "Where did you go?! You left a few words and disappeared for half a year! I thought you had already... Now you're back without saying a word! I almost thought I was seeing things!"
"Yue Hong..."
She had only uttered two words when Lu Yuanyuan was pulled into a hot embrace that gripped her so tightly it hurt.
Judging from Yue Hong's reaction, it's clear that this body had been hidden away after she returned home. It only reappeared today with her return.
Yue Hongsheng couldn't find her, nor could he find her body; he must be frantic with worry.
Lu Yuanyuan felt a slight sting in her nose, glad that she had chosen to come back. She closed her eyes and raised her arms to hug Yue Hong: "I'm back."
At this moment, she realized where she was—no wonder the scenery looked familiar, this forest was a corner of Jin'ao Island!
It took Yue Hong a while to calm down. He seemed a little embarrassed about his behavior and turned his head away.
Lu Yuanyuan asked about what had happened during this time.
That day, before leaving Mangshan with Duan Lansheng, she secretly asked Yue Hong to do something for her, which involved both Duan Lansheng and Tang Yuan.
It's obvious that Tangyuan can't go with them to fight the Ghost Emperor; she'll inevitably have to separate from Duan Lansheng. And after the battle with the Ghost Emperor, Duan Lansheng will likely be used by her as a stepping stone home, and he'll probably end up exhausted from overexertion.
The demon realm is not united; there are quite a few demons, both openly and secretly, who want to drag Duan Lansheng down with them. When the time comes, those guys will likely swarm him like hyenas smelling blood. Even if they can't defeat Duan Lansheng, they can still hurt his most vulnerable spot.
It's not that Duan Lansheng's deputy, Bai Ye, is untrustworthy. It's just that Bai Ye is, after all, a demon, and Tang Yuan, following him, can only stay in the demon realm. Once chaos erupts, as long as Tang Yuan remains in the demon realm, her safety is not absolute. Therefore, Lu Yuanyuan asked Yue Hong to find a way to take Tang Yuan away and hide her in a safe place after the battle where the Ghost Emperor was defeated.
As expected, her prediction was very accurate.
On that day, as soon as the Ghost Emperor was executed, the news of the victory spread like wildfire from Ghost Prison Mountain to all corners of the world, causing an uproar throughout the Three Realms.
Just two days later, the group that Bai Ye and Tang Yuan were traveling with, heading back to Xuanzhao to rest, ran into trouble. Someone had malicious intentions and wanted to take advantage of the situation to kill them all on the way. Fortunately, Yue Hong arrived in time, took Tang Yuan away, and also helped Bai Ye out of trouble.
"Yue Hong, thank goodness you're here." Lu Yuanyuan's heartstrings tightened, and she asked, "Where are the glutinous rice balls now?"
Yue Hong said, "He's safe with someone taking care of him, so don't worry."
Lu Yuanyuan nodded, another image flashing through her mind, causing her heart to clench as if pulled by a thin thread. She stared intently at Yue Hong: "Then—what about Duan Lansheng?"
Upon hearing this name, Yue Hong's expression immediately became somewhat strange: "He..."
He paused after saying just one word, as if he didn't know how to say it to Lu Yuanyuan.
Finally, he said it: "You're too late, he's already gone."
Lu Yuanyuan's pupils contracted.
The heart, which had been hanging high, finally fell, shattered, and sank into the bottomless icy sea.
Duan Lansheng—is no longer with us.
It sounded like a sharp, buzzing noise in my ears, mocking me. But when I listened closely, there was nothing left but emptiness.
Lu Yuanyuan slowly loosened her grip on Yue Hong's sleeve, her gaze vacant, and softly asked, "Then where is he now?"
.
Yue Hong pointed out a location to her.
The protracted war with the Ghost Emperor brought about earth-shattering changes to the Three Realms. This place, though close to Mount Mang, was quite different from Lu Yuanyuan's impression.
The sky had darkened, gradually turning a deep blue. A silver moon hung in the middle of the night, radiating a tranquil and gentle glow.
Nestled within a dense forest lies a lake, its surface seemingly boundless, like a sea within land. The lake and the surrounding trees are veiled in moonlight. Pristine white blossoms tremble gently on the branches, swaying in the breeze. Their petals, like translucent glass, are swept up by the wind and drift onto the lake's surface.
This place is indeed a place where one can rest undisturbed and is very suitable for eternal sleep.
Lu Yuanyuan landed on the grass and stood there blankly for a while.
In fact, she still hasn't been able to process the fact that Duan Lansheng is dead.
On the day she returned home, she watched as Duan Lansheng fell into a horde of evil spirits.
After that, she did consider the possibility that Duan Lansheng was no longer alive. But each time, she suppressed the bad thoughts.
She couldn't explain where this blind confidence came from.
Why?
Is it because the protagonist in the book always manages to escape danger? Or perhaps she always believed that her fate with Duan Lansheng wouldn't be so easily severed, and that no matter what happened, he would always be brought back to her by the red thread of fate?
Lu Yuanyuan stood there blankly for a moment, then walked forward. Suddenly, she noticed a small, dark figure squatting on a rock by the lake. She stopped abruptly and exclaimed, "Tangyuan?!"
A nine-tailed fox cub sat crouching by the lake, its nine tails puffing out behind it. It looked significantly plumper than it had been six months ago. The little creature seemed lost in thought, staring at the center of the lake, unaware of anyone approaching. Hearing a sound, its pointed ears twitched, and it turned around in disbelief. Upon recognizing her, the little creature practically rolled onto the grass and pounced like an arrow.
Lu Yuanyuan rushed over without hesitation, opened her arms, and caught him. She was hit hard in the chest and they fell to the ground together.
Tangyuan's tail was wagging so hard she couldn't see its movements clearly. The fox snuggled desperately into her arms, whimpering pitifully.
Like a priceless treasure regained, Lu Yuanyuan hugged him tightly with trembling arms, burying her face in his fur: "Tangyuan, I'm back, I'm sorry..."
Tangyuan blinked and licked her face.
Lu Yuanyuan tightened her arms around him and nuzzled his head against hers. After a long while, as her surging emotions subsided, she vaguely sensed that something was amiss.
Didn't Yue Hong arrange for someone to take good care of Tangyuan? Why would he let the child run off to such a remote place alone?
There were no adults around to watch over them, and it would be terrible if they encountered any danger.
Thankfully, she came back today.
Lu Yuanyuan felt both frightened and relieved. She hugged Tangyuan tightly, looked up at the spot where the little guy had been squatting, and then looked in the direction he was looking. Suddenly, she understood something, and her heart felt like it had been stabbed.
Yue Hong isn't the type to talk nonsense. It's likely that Tangyuan sneaked out on her own tonight.
He may not understand what life and death are like; he simply instinctively wanted to be closer to his loved ones.
Lu Yuanyuan said softly, "Is that so... You're thinking about him too."
Lu Yuanyuan patted the bits of grass off her body and stood up, but Tangyuan jumped off her arm, grabbed her clothes, and dragged her closer to the lake.
Lu Yuanyuan saw a small boat moored by the lake. Tangyuan had already jumped onto it in a few steps, looking back at her as if waiting for her to catch up.
Would you like to take a boat trip?
Lu Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then stepped onto the small boat. The boat was very narrow, and it swayed slightly as soon as she got on.
With a push of the oar, the small boat rippled through the waves and left the shore.
Under the moonlight, the vast lake is crystal clear. Ripples spread out, like melting silver foil flowing on silk.
Tangyuan squatted at the bow of the boat, its tail dangling into the water. Lu Yuanyuan simply let go of the oars, allowing the small boat to drift with the current towards the center of the river.
When we reached the center of the lake, the night wind stopped, and the small boat slowly came to a stop as well. The waves subsided, the lake became a mirror, and the bright moon shone into the water, floating beside the boat.
Just then, very faint bubbles suddenly appeared on the water beside the boat.
In the blink of an eye, the ripples parted with a splash, shattering the full moon, and a familiar figure emerged from the water, like a graceful fish.
She sat in the boat, and he was in the lake, looking up at her.
Springtime reigns in the mortal realm, the Sword Sect of Shu Mountain shines with the morning sun over ten thousand miles, the underground imperial mausoleum is silent, the Heavenly Tribulation of Separation and Reunion shakes the earth and mountains, the city of Xuanzhao is ablaze with phosphorus, the woodcutter's hut on Mang Mountain is adorned with silver flowers and starlight, and evil spirits bid a final farewell before the battle...
Memories flash by, all the illusions vanish like smoke.
In the end, all she saw was the moon reflected in the water and the person she loved.
Lu Yuanyuan: "..."
After going over Yue Hong's answer in her mind, she belatedly realized that she seemed to have made a big blunder.
A piece of white petal clung to Duan Lansheng's head; it was a flower petal that had drifted onto the lake earlier. Lu Yuanyuan involuntarily reached out, picked up the petal, and placed it in the water to let it float away, murmuring to herself, "When I returned to Jin'ao Island, I heard that I was late, and you had already left."
With a splash, Duan Lansheng leaped onto the small boat, dripping wet, and tucked a strand of hair behind his ear: "I went to Jin'ao Island to pick up Tangyuan today. By the time you come back, I will have already left."
As he spoke, he opened his palm, revealing a wet glass bead threaded with gold thread. He gently hung the glass bead back around Tangyuan's neck.
Lu Yuanyuan immediately understood why he had come up from the lake and why Tangyuan was squatting by the lake staring at the water.
The waves beside the boat gradually calmed down, and the silver moon in the lake became full again.
Duan Lansheng turned his gaze to her.
Lu Yuanyuan pursed her lips, raised her hand, tucked the stray wet hairs from his cheek behind his ear, and wiped the water droplets from his face. Duan Lansheng remained silent and did not resist, only his eyelids trembled slightly.
It turns out that he wasn't as calm as he seemed; he was just as nervous as she was.
Lu Yuanyuan withdrew her hand, lowering her head to clutch her robe. She had so much to say, but at this moment, she seemed to have lost all ability to express herself. Her fingers trembled almost imperceptibly, her eyes reddened, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she finally managed to utter, "Let's do the wedding ceremony again!"
"..."
"I mean, I've already thought of the answer to that question. Could you... could you ask me again?"
Duan Lansheng stared at her intently, then suddenly reached out and grasped her trembling hand on her lap. They intertwined their fingers, and he smiled, saying, "Okay."
For some reason, when he smiled, she smiled too.
Lu Yuanyuan smiled and, after a long pause, said softly, "But before that, I want to tell you a story."
...
The universe is full of wonders.
Legend has it that everyone in the world has a Book of Life and Death that records their destiny. At this moment, their story has been written with its final stroke.
At the same time, many untold stories have been buried in the dust of time.
That was the very first story, the origin of everything.
That year, on the eve of the tribulation, Duan Lansheng made a decision: once Lu Yuanyuan was freed from her past and started a new life, he would live his own life as if he had never known her.
However, for some reason, even after he had attained enlightenment through ruthlessness, ascended to become a sword immortal, and gone to Jin'ao Island, he could not find peace. Every day, unfamiliar feelings surged in his heart, like a raging fire burning his heart, causing pain in his internal organs.
The thought that she would truly have nothing to do with him from now on, that she would meet new people and spend a hundred years without him, made his heart ache even more, keeping him awake at night.
He didn't know how to get rid of this feeling. By the time he realized it, he had already broken his vow and disappeared into the place where Lu Yuanyuan was born, which was also the home he had chosen for her.
In this city far from Mount Shu, she will have a peaceful and smooth life free from illness and disaster.
At first, he just wanted to catch a glimpse of her from afar and leave. But after he arrived, he inexplicably became more demanding, wanting to hear her voice before he left.
But soon he discovered that Lu Yuanyuan was not there.
She failed to be reborn, and her soul has already disappeared.
The truth came too late, but it wasn't the end of the road yet.
Many people don't know that in the world of cultivation, there is a technique called "Shattering the Void".
This technique is not a mere myth; once a Golden Immortal cultivates to the highest level, they can unlock this mysterious door.
He killed the culprit and fled Jin'ao Island alone. Paying an unimaginable price, he finally mastered the method to shatter the void, returning to the past in an attempt to rewrite that history.
One cannot have two selves existing at the same time in a single spacetime. If one wants to go back to the past, he can only return to the body of the self from the past.
Duan Lansheng believed that he could rewrite Lu Yuanyuan's fate and their ending based on his knowledge of the future. However, he never expected that his arrival would be like a pebble thrown into still water, creating ripples that no one could control.
He came carrying the imprint of his past life, influencing Lu Yuanyuan's karma in this life. Even though he knew how the story would unfold, he would always fail for one reason or another, missing his chance with Lu Yuanyuan time and time again.
In the causal chain altered by him, Lu Yuanyuan either remained alone or ended up with Yue Hong, becoming his princess consort. And regardless of which path Lu Yuanyuan chose, her fate was to die young, and her lifespan grew increasingly shorter.
It seems that animals whose habitats have been altered by external forces are unable to survive in environments that are incompatible with them.
He shattered the void countless times and witnessed her death countless times. The piercing sense of powerlessness gradually transformed Duan Lansheng's obsession from "rekindling their past relationship" to "just letting her live."
It was during these countless failed attempts that Duan Lansheng began to have a vague feeling—that Lu Yuanyuan seemed to have a path she had to take.
If she doesn't follow that hidden path and complete the necessary tasks, Lu Yuanyuan will die young and won't be able to live out her natural life.
But what exactly is that hidden storyline?
He didn't know, he really didn't know.
He made many attempts to find a chance for Lu Yuanyuan to survive, and in one of his lifetimes, things even took an unexpected turn.
Before that, no matter how fate changed, Lu Yuanyuan always started as the princess of Yan. But in that life, when Duan Lansheng saw the swaddling clothes of the princess of Yan, he immediately realized that Lu Yuanyuan was not here.
The body of the Yan Kingdom princess was taken over by a strange soul. Lu Yuanyuan was not reborn into this body; she went to a world beyond his reach.
Much later, Duan Lansheng realized that it was the smoothest life Lu Yuanyuan had ever had. There was no turmoil in her youth, nor the hatred of being sent to a foreign land as a hostage. She was reborn as an ordinary girl, loved by her parents, with a few close friends, learning math, physics, chemistry, and biology that he couldn't understand, growing into an adult and entering society.
However, this time, she still couldn't live out her days in that world, and one day her soul was suddenly bounced back to this world.
At this point, Duan Lansheng finally realized that his attempt to go back in time and change Lu Yuanyuan's fate was futile.
Because if someone else intervenes and allows Lu Yuanyuan to escape her predetermined fate, she will die young. She must complete her hidden destiny, which has been arranged for her, in this world.
He tried to find the pattern in Lu Yuanyuan's fate, but each time he couldn't keep up with the speed of her death.
Each time he shattered the void, he exhausted his vast immortal power.
For one last try, he decided to try a different approach and take one last gamble.
A person's destiny is not determined by others, but can only be written by themselves.
Since he can't change Lu Yuanyuan's fate, then let Lu Yuanyuan rewrite her own destiny.
In his final flashback, he decided to transfer his memories to Lu Yuanyuan, allowing her to be reborn with them.
If we let her remember the pain and hatred of the past, and return to the starting point, would the ending be different?
Surely she will. She's so smart and quick-witted, she must know how to avoid trouble and attract good fortune.
Duan Lansheng did not expect that because that interaction with Earth's spacetime was too special, in addition to the memories of her first life that he passed on to her, Lu Yuanyuan's brain still retained the memories of the short twenty-odd years she had been born on Earth.
The mingling and confusion of memories from two lifetimes reversed the order in her mind, making her convinced that she was a native modern person who was just unlucky enough to have stumbled into a melodramatic novel.
After completing all this, Duan Lansheng planned to enter the body of his younger self.
This time was different from before; once he entered his younger self's body, he would lose his memories as a sword immortal. He was willing to accept everything Lu Yuanyuan did for him.
However, he found that he no longer had the strength to do it.
Even immortals who have depleted their power will die. He uncontrollably began his immortal dissolution, gradually turning into nothingness. He could only watch from above as the reborn Lu Yuanyuan reunited with his younger self. No one knew how much he envied his innocent and naive self.
Perhaps it was because Lu Yuanyuan had accidentally entered that alien world called Earth and received education and influence from modern civilization that she was clearly a native of this world, yet she was also like a complete outsider. This is how she attracted the attention of the Book Spirit, leading to her union with the Book Spirit.
No matter how many hardships and bitterness I experienced along the way, my life's efforts were not in vain.
That night, looking at Lu Yuanyuan in the boat under the moonlight, he finally reached the end of his journey to immortality.
...
As the small boat docked, Lu Yuanyuan stepped out and was about to pull Duan Lansheng ashore when suddenly a drop of water hit her cheek with a strange warmth.
Lu Yuanyuan was stunned, then looked up: "Is it raining?"
The bright moon hangs high in the sky, not a single cloud in sight. Where will the rain come from?
Duan Lansheng shook his head.
Lu Yuanyuan, confused, rubbed her cheek with her fingertips and said, "Never mind, let's go home."
Duan Lansheng took her hand and smiled, "Okay, Tangyuan also wants to hear your story."
"Then you should be prepared to listen for three days and three nights, because it is a really, really long story."
