76 Ch. 76 If She Dies So Does He (1/2)
”Since then, you have become twin siblings with a new name. As in exchange, your memories as Xiao Yue were sealed along with your true astral soul. But you could break the seal as you are The Time Master.”
”How about brother Xiao Yang?”
”...” there was a moment of silence before uncle Ling Duan continued. ”His memory as a crown prince of Xiao Yang will never return. He would stay as he is.”
Tears began to flow down Xiao Yue's cheeks.
”Even though he doesn't remember it, his great affection towards you and his feelings that want to protect you are still in him. Everything has proven for these twelve years. He does everything to protect you even if it cost his life.”
Xiao Yue wiped her tears with her hands. ”I no longer want to be a burden on my brother. If I die, won't my brother be free?”
Uncle Ling Duan's expression turned tense and severe. ”You're wrong. If you die, Prince Xiao Yang will die too.”
Xiao Yue could not believe what she had just heard. If she dies, then her brother does too? How come it turned out like that?
”Nonsense! What does my death have to do with brother Xiao Yang?”
”Even though Xiao Yang did not use his energy to reverse his body lifetime, he still uses it. He should have been dead a long time ago since he used the forbidden technique despite not a time-controller. But the feeling of wanting to protect you is the one that made him alive today. If you die, then his feelings of protecting you will be lost in the place of deep sadness. At that moment, he will die. Do you want that to happen?”
”No, I don't want. My brother is the only one I have since I lost my mother and father and friends on Nishian Island. I don't want him to die.”
”Therefore, you must immediately get out of this place and be merged with your other memories. As long as you live in this world, your brother will also survive.”
”But, I'm just an ordinary girl. I'll be a burden. Father, mother, brother Xiao Yang, all this time they are protecting me. I always hide behind their backs. I..”
”Princess Xiao Yue, look at you.” A large glass mirror appeared before Xiao Yue.
Following what the man said, Xiao Yue stared at the reflection printed on the large mirror. She saw a young girl with black hair with sharp eyes and a powerful aura of astral energy emanating from her body.
Is that girl.. her? Is that true?
All this time, Xiao Yue remembered that she was just a helpless child who always hid behind her family's back. She had no idea that she had grown up like this, including her increasing cultivation of energy.
