Chapter 2091: Feelings for the Heavenly Emperor

Little Taotie waited outside the lounge for a long time, knowing that Huahua’s sudden proposal would shock the five brothers, and they would definitely give him a hard time.

But has it been too long already?

She looked at the watch’s hands and frowned slightly.

When the hands stopped at midnight, Little Taotie felt a sudden pang in her heart, a very brief suffocating sensation.

"Squeak—"

The door opened.

In sight was Cheng Guodong’s terrified, pale face.

"Big brother, what’s wrong?"

Could it be that Huahua was bold enough to really make a move on Big Brother?

Cheng Guodong’s lips trembled as he struggled to speak: "Tao Shen, Tao Bin... are gone."

Little Taotie stumbled into the lounge and saw two people lying on the ground, their limbs stiff, their faces ghostly pale and bloodless.

Hua Jinyan had already contacted the doctors, and soon, doctors would rush over.

However, he had already examined the two earlier and found no signs of life.

If what the two said before their deaths was true, their souls had been summoned away, leading to instant death.

After a series of resuscitation efforts, the doctors finally shook their heads at the Tao Family.

Little Taotie hid at the doorway, unsure how to face her elderly grandparents.

Hua Jinyan took her hand and led her to the hospital’s rooftop.

The night sky was shrouded in dense clouds, the moonlight obscured, and the pitch-black night was silent and suffocating.

Suddenly, a drizzle began to fall.

Yet, Little Taotie had no intention of avoiding the rain; instead, the rain calmed her down.

The icy rainwater hit her face, making it hard to tell whether it was rain or tears. Droplets slid from the corner of her eye, trailing down her delicate features, soaking her gauze dress.

Hua Jinyan hurriedly took off his coat and placed it over her shoulders, hoarsely advising, "Take shelter?"

Little Taotie shook her head, raising her head instead, allowing the rain to hit her face, hoping for a heavy downpour.

"They... just returned to the Heavenly Emperor."

"You already said that."

"But you haven’t come to terms with it."

Little Taotie turned to look at him, her eyes filled with sorrow, "I need some time to come to terms with it. Rationally, I know they just returned to the Heavenly Emperor, the Three Souls reunited. But emotionally, it feels like I’ve lost my two dear brothers."

"My condolences."

"You’re becoming less and less endearing."

Hua Jinyan paused, looking at her in confusion.

Little Taotie shook her head and gazed up at the night sky.

After a rain, the clouds dispersed, revealing a playful crescent moon and scattered stars. Though the starlight was dim, they tried hard to guard the crescent, doing their best to shine.

"When they found me as a child, they didn’t force me to return to the Tao Family. Brother Shen and Brother Bin never excessively disturbed me, yet they silently protected me in their own way.

I’m actually not familiar with the Heavenly Emperor; perhaps he favored me due to my past self-sacrificial act to save the world, sending out two divine spirits to seek me, hoping to assist me in gathering all Three Souls and Seven Spirits. His actions might be out of duty, but over so many years, across so many worlds, I can’t help but feel some affection towards him."

As her Primordial Spirit repaired, the Three Souls and Seven Spirits reunited, she recalled not only the memories of Little Beast Bai Bai, but every reincarnation she underwent to find the Three Souls and Seven Spirits.

There were ten reincarnations, including Her Royal Highness Princess’s cycle.

But each reincarnation faced interference, and the interferer was clearly the Mysterious Lady and Qing Luan. In truth, this cycle was the final one, and it too was a failure.

What they called Brother Shen’s rebirth wasn’t rebirth at all; rather, the Heavenly Emperor used a divine method to reverse time, granting a divine spirit the memory.

If not for the Heavenly Emperor’s intervention, Little Taotie would have ceased to exist long ago, her soul would have vanished into the world.
