Chapter 162 Last Wish
Chapter 162 Last Wish
Yu Lishuang's writings naturally included mentions of that person.
Spanning a thousand years of history, Luo Sifan perused Yu Lishuang's notes. In every chapter, he could see Yu Lishuang's subtle sorrow and lingering affection. Although they were not explicit memories of the immortal realm, as he read more of them, he gradually sketched out the general image and temperament of the person who made Yu Lishuang unable to forget him.
Arrogant, passionate, ambitious, and handsome—so handsome that Yu Lishuang couldn't forget him even after biting her arm.
Luo Sifan secretly felt a pang of jealousy, even though Yu Lishuang insisted that the person was her past life.
After all, Luo Sifan was a homebody and a nice guy in both his lives. He didn't know how to flirt with girls and didn't have any ambition. Apart from refining pills and exploring the mysteries of cultivation, he really couldn't connect himself with the playboy immortal in Yu Lishuang's eyes.
"What's this guy thinking? Why is he going through all this trouble?"
Seeing that Yu Lishuang had sent her soul to the Lotus Treasure and descended to the mortal realm to cultivate again in order to follow this person's trail, Luo Sifan couldn't help but close the book and ponder.
Having already endured too much stimulation, Luo Sifan's immortal soul was no longer as easily agitated as it had been when it first encountered Yu Lishuang.
Luo Sifan's head ached from thinking about it, but he still couldn't fathom the secrets of his own immortal soul, so he simply gave up on thinking about it.
He picked up Yu Lishuang's notes again and read through them one by one.
It took Luo Sifan nearly an hour to read through all the nearly one hundred books and jade talismans. The contents were all about events from ten thousand years ago. Luo Sifan was moved, but after closing the book, he had some doubts.
Why did Cai Feng'er bring me here?
Luo Sifan glanced back at the bookshelf again, as if she might have missed something.
Before my eyes could see, a scroll had indeed appeared in the center of the bookshelf.
Luo Sifan stood up in surprise and walked back, picking up the mysteriously stalked scroll.
Touching it, one could immediately sense something unusual; the scroll was clearly just an ordinary paper scroll, and it was quite new.
Luo Sifan was both surprised and delighted, knowing that this must be Yu Lishuang's recent work. Suppressing the slight pounding in his heart, he slowly unfurled the scroll.
The contents of the first column startled Luo Sifan, and his face turned extremely pale.
"Luo Sifan, by the time you see this, I, Yu Lishuang, will probably have already vanished from the world, my soul and spirit scattered, and even my physical body will no longer exist."
Luo Sifan, his face cold, slowly unfurled the scroll with trembling hands. Yu Lishuang's words were startling, confirming his bad suspicions, but he still held onto a sliver of hope and read on, word by word.
The scroll contained only about a thousand words, but Luo Sifan read it very slowly, turning back several times, fearing that he might have missed something.
A moment later, Luo Sifan rolled up the scroll and sat back down in his chair. His expression was still unpleasant, but he was no longer as agitated as before.
After much thought, Luo Sifan carefully considered Yu Lishuang's parting words, and a slight ripple appeared in his calm eyes.
It turns out that ten thousand years ago, Yu Lishuang already knew that her life force was about to end. According to her, she once met a destined person who guided her to fake her death and hide a wisp of life force outside the world, so that she would have the opportunity to continue her previous relationship and fulfill her long-cherished wish in the future.
Even the place where she faked her death was chosen for her by that person.
The energy of heaven and earth that Luo Sifan transferred to her could not increase her vitality by even a fraction; it was merely repaying the debt of gratitude she had owed heaven and earth for ten thousand years, and in return, she was given a sliver of life.
Yu Lishuang had long sensed the crisis on her wedding day and the chaos within the Yaotai Sect.
Her days in Yunzhou were numbered, and Yu Lishuang not only didn't care, but also wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out the enemies of the Western Kingdom and clean up the Yaotai Sect.
However, the appearance of her old nemesis, Kui Qi, was probably beyond her expectations. She had to cut off her life force in advance and force out the immortal essence in her soul to merge with Lian Bao in order to escape the pursuit of the immortal officials. With the immortal power of Lian Bao, she captured Kui Qi and the others in one fell swoop.
These were all conjectures by Luo Sifan. In her last words, Yu Lishuang only said that after her death, her soul would merge with Lianbao, and she was willing to give the greatly enhanced Lianbao to Luo Sifan as a protective item.
Therefore, the strange woman who suddenly appeared in the Lotus Treasure should be the celestial charm transformed from Yu Lishuang's soul, which explains why she looks five or six parts similar to Yu Lishuang.
However, Luo Sifan couldn't understand why this woman was so arrogant and rude.
After all, he was now far too unfamiliar with the people and affairs of the immortal realm, and he really couldn't handle them.
However, to some extent, this woman was an incarnation of Yu Lishuang left in the world, preventing Luo Sifan from experiencing the despair of completely losing Yu Lishuang.
With a wry smile, Luo Sifan put away Yu Lishuang's scroll of last words and then simply put all the notes and jade talismans into the Mirage Pearl.
Sitting alone in the quiet surroundings, Luo Sifan thought of the words of longing that Yu Lishuang had written here ten thousand years ago, words that spanned a thousand years. He couldn't help but ponder deeply and became somewhat lost in thought.
The knocking on the door jolted Luo Sifan awake.
Cai Feng'er pushed open the door and entered, flapping her wings. She glanced at the empty bookshelf, and her stiff face softened a little.
"Caifeng'er, is what your young lady said in her message true?"
Upon seeing her, Luo Sifan jumped to his feet, still hoping to get a better answer from Cai Feng'er.
Cai Feng'er nodded silently. Although she was small, Luo Sifan could see her clearly even with his eyes wide open.
The glimmer of hope that had just begun to rise was instantly crushed and vanished.
Seeing Luo Sifan's dejected expression, Cai Feng'er's dislike for him lessened considerably. Instead, she spoke up to comfort him:
“The young lady only has a few days left to live. Whether she lives sooner or later, the difference won’t be significant. Young master, you don’t need to blame yourself too much for this matter.”
Luo Sifan nodded silently, still feeling extremely depressed.
"Young Master! Actually... I once heard the young lady say that she still has a physical form in the Upper Realm..."
Cai Feng'er couldn't bear it for a moment, and remembered something Yu Lishuang had mentioned to her ten thousand years ago, so she casually mentioned it.
Upon hearing this, Luo Sifan was taken aback. The soul-binding lotus treasure that had descended to the mortal realm was actually just an avatar of Yu Lishuang.
"Oh dear! I forgot, the young lady told me not to talk about this carelessly, or it would shorten my lifespan!"
Cai Feng'er covered her mouth in fright, as if her words had caused quite a stir.
What else did she tell you?
Ignoring all that, Luo Sifan pressed for an answer.
Cai Feng'er shook her head vigorously, covered her mouth tightly, her eyes filled with fear, and refused to say another word no matter what.
Luo Sifan had no choice but to give up, unable to do anything about it.
"Actually, there's nothing more. The young lady doesn't want to tell me anything more."
After calming down, Cai Feng'er said a few more words to Luo Sifan.
"Young Master's feelings for Miss seem quite genuine. She must be overjoyed to have read through all of Miss's notes from the past thousand years and found the letters she left behind!"
Cai Feng'er was fully aware of Yu Lishuang's arrangements, and was overjoyed to see that Luo Sifan had finally passed the test.
However, even if Luo Sifan fails Yu Lishuang's test, Yu Lishuang will still give him everything she is entitled to.
Cai Feng'er came here to carry out the last wish that Yu Li Shuang had entrusted to her.
Luo Sifan didn't find Yu Lishuang's petty thoughts annoying at all. Instead, a tender feeling welled up in his heart, and he felt even more sorry for Yu Lishuang's cautiousness and anxiety.
