Chapter 236 - Ascension Lake (2/2)

Wei Huo’s mother frowned. “What’s there to eat? It’s only three in the afternoon. Do you want to sleep for a few more hours?”

Wei Huo looked at the 16-year-old girl. He was unfamiliar with her, but he was certain he knew her very well. Besides, she looked very similar to Wei Huo’s mother. They were at least 90% similar.

“Brother, move aside. I want to go to the washroom.”

Wei Huo moved aside. The girl who had called Wei Huo ‘Brother’ walked toward the bathroom. She was wearing furry slippers with rabbit ears and she looked like she was still drowsy.

Wei Huo reached the living room and sat on the sofa. He found a cup of water and lifted it to his mouth. Just as he was about to drink it, his father walked over.

Wei Huo’s father looked only 70% similar to Wei Huo. Now, they were only 50% similar.

At that moment, the loud sound of water came from the bathroom. Wei Huo’s sister seemed to be bathing. Meanwhile, Wei Huo’s parents walked over and sat on the sofa. They hesitated for a moment before Wei Huo’s father said, “Little Huo, we have to tell you something. Actually, you’re not our biological child.”

Wei Huo was drinking water, but he did not spit it out. He was very calm, as this was a dangerous place. It would not be unusual if something happened.

Wei Huo’s father sighed. “It seems like you already know.”

Wei Huo put down his glass and said, “There are no photos of me before the age of three in the family photo album.”

Wei Huo finally said what had been on his mind. That was a real memory. There had been no photos of him before the age of three in his family’s photo album. Wei Huo had accidentally found his mother’s medical records. His mother had had a miscarriage due to an accident and had been unable to give birth anymore. The child she had miscarried seemed to be his sister in the bathroom.

That was the illusionary realm. The truth that Wei Huo could not touch was right in front of his eyes.

Why had his parents been so powerful when he was just an ordinary person? It was not because his luck was sealed, but because he was really an ordinary person. Besides, he was an ordinary person plagued by disaster.

Wei Huo’s father patted Wei Huo’s shoulder and said as if he understood what he was feeling, “Don’t be too sad. Think about it. It’s a good thing that you’re not our biological son!”

Wei Huo was confused.

Wei Huo’s father said, “As the saying goes, one should not let benefits go to others. Although you are still young…”

Before Wei Huo’s father could finish his sentence, Wei Huo’s mother glared at him. Wei Huo’s father did not dare speak again.

Wei Huo was not dejected. In fact, he had hoped to see this situation. Otherwise, things would not have turned out this way in the illusionary realm.

His sister had been born successfully, and his family was safe. That was probably what he wanted.

Soon, Wei Huo realized that his father was just an ordinary employee in this universe. His mother was also just an ordinary salesperson. His family was ordinary and normal.

Maybe this was the life Wei Huo wanted to live?

Was that really the case?

Wei Huo asked himself, Are you really willing to stay ordinary forever?

Now that his parents had a daughter, the family was happy and harmonious. It would not matter even if he left to explore the world.

Wei Huo had an ordinary life but did not want to stay ordinary forever. At that thought, a thunderbolt struck the sky. Soon, a familiar voice spoke in Wei Huo’s heart.

“Time halt!”
