Chapter 517: The Truth of That Year (1/2)

Xue Wei had never seen anything like it before, and he could not help but feel intrigued. This was such a different way to house people, and he could not help but wonder if it could be implemented in the world of the living.

Although there was not as much overpopulation in the world of the living, the cities were still rather crowded, and many of the slums could be rebuilt into such residences, which could house more people while also giving them better living standards.

Xue Wei was not considering it for the sake of being a good samaritan, but because he was considering the option of beginning to dabble in business.

He had many resources right now, but from seeing how Tao Wu could sustain so many pirates at the Sea of the Enchanted with merely half of the profits from his and Lan's business, Xue Wei was rather tempted to start going into business himself.

While he knew that he could not rival the auction house business that these two experts had started, he could enter real estate and construction.

However, while it was true that Xue Wei was considering this, he was not going to do anything about it now. He was currently stuck in the Ghost Realm, and even when he would return to the world of the living, he was not sure that he would be able to focus on business right away.

Some things were much more important, such as his friends, Wang Xiaoyun, and solving the problems that had been left behind by his parents.

His mother was the Holy Maiden of the Sovereign Beasts, but she was gone. She passed away while giving birth to him, using all her life force to allow him to be born safely, and then losing her last breath as she saw her child greeting the world.

Xue Wei was aware that she had been an Azure Dragon, but had the bloodlines of all the Sovereign Beasts. She was revered and a deity to all the sovereign beasts alike, but she had fled her responsibilities, and had fallen in love with a human.

At that time, the world's rules had changed. A mixed-blood child would never have been able to live, but even so, his mother never gave up on him. A life had to be sacrificed, and thus she sacrificed her own.

Xue Wei's father had felt guilt ever since he knew that she was pregnant. He had once promised Xiao Lei that he would never let her suffer any hardships, and that he would pamper and love her for the rest of their lives, but to give birth to his child, she died.

He had failed to do as he had promised. In fact, he had a part in her death as he was the father of the child who had been born.
