37 Unearthing (1/2)
Entering the luxurious villa, Feng Hui looked around the magnificent hallway. To the side, there were numerous beautiful paintings depicting the human mind. Furthermore, the hallway was encompassed in a beautiful natural light. Designed with pinpoint accuracy, the household was extremely charming.
Guided by the bald middle-aged man, Feng Hui walked through the hallway. With some excitement, he wished to meet this familiar soul in person; he did not even extend his spiritual sense out of respect for her.
Ensuring his Golden Dragon soul would emit the least disturbance possible, Feng Hui eventually arrived at the beautiful inner residence of the villa. Alongside Shu Shuang, he was met with the view of an 'amicable' family of four sitting in the dining area.
Seeing the mysterious black-robed man, Yang Jian was reluctant, but he still playfully exclaimed, ”Welcome to our family's humble abode. What are the wishes of this young sir?”
Feeling the celestial aura of the black-robed man, Yang Jian had a chilling thought, ”Is this black-robed man related to that deity-like father of Zhi Ruo? What if he finds out how badly we've been treating her?”
”Mm.” Noticing the reluctance, Feng Hui didn't blame the sturdy middle-aged father. Perceiving the man's lofty aura, he thought, ”This is definitely the home of some extremely esteemed figure.”
Likely, this family belonged to one of the top powers in the entire nation.
Reaching this stage, Feng Hui's emotions were cool. In the eyes of others, he could even be considered a devil. In order to reach his former peak, he had sacrificed his humanity in a sense. By absorbing the vital Qi of millions of humans, what was the difference between himself and a man-eating demon?
The vital Qi was the very life essence of a being; it could be compared to the human soul! However, Feng Hui was willing to live the life of a devil if it meant that his mother could return to their side sooner. For the sake of his family, he was prepared to do anything!
Feng Hui was not an unfeeling killing-machine, after all. In the end, he was merely a peaceful teenager who was forcibly dragged into another world. It was his life experiences that shaped him to become his current killing self!
This was the reason why Feng Hui often assisted children. In his mind, a single life experience should not be able to ruin the life of a still-blossoming pure soul! From his personal experience, children deserved a chance to grow!
”Zhi Ruo…” Looking toward the back of the family's dinner table, Feng Hui felt his heartbeat rising. Although the little beauty had a different appearance, he could discern that it was her soul with ease.
But there was a distinct difference; Feng Hui's eyes narrowed. The soul was emitting a much more docile, depressive aura. With a thought, he trembled, ”It is Xiao Ruo, right?”
Truthfully, Feng Hui wasn't certain. In the Long Kingdom, the little scarlet-robed Zhi Ruo's soul was the brightest he has ever seen. To this day, the fact stood true.
Slightly hesitant, Feng Hui wished to probe through his childhood sweetheart's soul. However, this was too disrespectful. In the Long Kingdom, she had sacrificed everything for him. How could he not be moved?
Unsurprisingly, Feng Hui was stirred by this kind gesture from the little scarlet-robed Zhi Ruo. In the Long Kingdom, he was unfeeling toward her due to his loneliness, but now it was different. By reuniting with his dear family, he had regained his lost emotions.
For some reason, Feng Hui even had an inkling that there were two Zhi Ruos? How could that be possible?
When Zhi Ruo saw this celestial-like black-robed man staring straight at her, she felt her heart tremble. For some reason, she unconsciously felt close toward this mysterious man she had never seen before. With a hot blush, she lowered her head.
Why was she so shy? Feng Hui clenched his white teeth. Feeling remorseful, he wanted to hold her little hand, but he held himself back. This was definitely her soul. Yet at the same time, it wasn't.
