Chapter 150 - Wu Yuanxu (2/2)

”Yo-You're that kid?” His eyes widened in disbelief. How could this be the case? From his memory, that kid was shorter, skinnier, had duller eyes, and a little bit stupid. He recalled being able to easily persuade him to joining the Anima Syndicate despite it offering barely any benefit.

He was also happy despite that. It was very strange...and only solidified that the boy was simply too young and naive. If he read his eagerness to recruit him, he could've negotiated for actual benefits, yet he accepted with no disagreements.

Looking at Yan Zaizen once more, he couldn't shake off his disbelief. Could it be…? The youth from before had an exceptional growth!

”I'm that kid,” Yan Zaizen chortled. Wu Yuanxu eyes flickered and then he moved forward, he wrapped his arms around Yan Zaizen this time in a hug. In his eyes, he knew that the only reason he was alive was someone at the Anima Syndicate wanted his revival. Besides Yan Zaizen, who else did he know here? He was just an experiment. He wasn't even an successful one.

”I…” Startled initially, Yan Zaizen responded by hugging as well.

Two men, one old and one young, were hugging silently in the room with hearts filled with gratitude. One helped the other early by setting a path in his life to follow, and the other helped the other by saving his life after death.

”Sniff...sniff…” Tears dripped from Wu Yuanxu's face. They came out like a stream. Nobody will ever understand the terrifying pain, terrible regret, and cold loneliness he felt as he laid there dying. If Wu Yuanxu knew Yan Zaizen could somewhat relate, perhaps they would be even closer.

With a soft pat, Yan Zaizen felt relieved.

Several hours passed.

After their hugging sessions concluded, they sat down to enjoy various wines and talk. Yan Zaizen got to understand how Wu Yuanxu got a second soul, his past life before they met, and more. As for Wu Yuanxu, he got to know about Yan Zaizen's journey thus far, the fate of Han Genji, the fate of those who killed him, and more.

They exchanged good conversation over delicious wine. They even talked about their goals. Yan Zaizen wanted to explore the Xiantu Empire, then move to a different realm. Likely, he'll go find Ma Xiuren's Xiuhei Clan. As for after that? He hadn't decided.

Wu Yuanxu wanted to start his own clan. At his death, he realized that he never left anything behind. This was his most intense regret. He wanted many children, beautiful wives, and a clan that'll last forever. He'll start at Presba and move to make his clan deeply cemented into the entirety of the Xiantu Realm.

Who knew, perhaps in the future, his clan could one day rule this realm or another one? But that's what he wanted. Yan Zaizen wanted to convince him to travel with him, but the man's dream couldn't be accomplished with free travel. He needed to settle down, make a territory, and develop slowly.

Obviously, he wouldn't impose his own desires on him.

”How about traveling with me for a bit? When I pick up Tao and Bai Lufeng, we'll go about to Presba together. After all, I do need to find out who tried to frame me.” Yan Zaizen offered. Initially, Wu Yuanxu didn't want to impose, but when Yan Zaizen said he could handle any cultivation expenses or needs he required during, he agreed.

He knew from Yan Zaizen stories that he had millions in low-grade essence crystals. If it was the him before, even a single essence crystal was unattainable. He only had a unrefined crystallized chair, but that wasn't even close to a real one.

”Haha, I can't wait till you meet Tao and Bai Lufeng, they are definitely characters.” He said joyfully.

Little did Yan Zaizen know, both Tao and Bai Lufeng had their own struggles, and because of it, he'll be forced to step towards the heavens.
