Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1259

Chapter 1259 First Conversation

Wang Wei looked at her, the woman he had spent the past few billion years and more thinking about it. The one that forced him to dream just so he could remember her touch. She was as beautiful as he remembered, maybe even more so since this one differed from the one he married.

This Wu Hong was colder and lonelier, and she did not hide her power or commanding presence. It was apparent to him that this one had a wall surrounding her regarding their relationship. However, a smile crept in the corner of his mouth after seeing her hair color.

"Sorry about that — it was just instinct," Wang Wei finally said before sitting down again in the water.

"I understand your situation is weird, but be mindful that I am not her," Wu Hong calmly stated.

"So, she did leave you her memory?"

"She did, but I sealed most of them," Wu Hong nodded.

"Why?"

"She's biased, and I don't know how she came to be."

Wang Wei nodded. When it came to the time shenanigans that his future self was involved in, his response was usually to begrudgingly go along with it, putting some level of trust in himself and his future. However, it seems that Wu Hong's approach is to be on guard and show no trust whatsoever, which is a fair response.

The dimension suddenly became awkwardly quiet, with the sound of water the only thing echoing in the surroundings.

"Why are you suddenly so quiet? From the memories I kept, you're a very chatty person, especially when you're around her," Wu Hong said.

Wang Wei sighed. "You must give me some grace, as the situation is quite disheartening. I've lived two lives, and it seems my love life might be ill-fated." _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

"How so?"

"In my first life, my family constantly pressured me to start a family. They even wanted to force me into a political marriage. I died young and without anyone to call a partner.

"Then, in my second life, I finally found a woman that made my heart beat, a woman I want to spend eternity with, but what happened? Well, it turned out she's a clone of a powerful cultivator, and not only is she a clone, but the clone of the future self of that cultivator — a clone that she has no memories or knowledge of making.

"So, the situation turns into the fact that I may lose the love of my life if I don't play my cards correctly. If it isn't ill-fated, I don't know what it is."

"Stating it out loud does put everything into a strange perspective," Wu Hong nodded. She knew the situation was messed up, but it truly dawned on her until he explained it in these words.

"I want to ask you something," Wang Wei continued. "Do I have a chance?"

Wu Hong played with her hair, "I think I've already given you the answer to this question."

"But it's different if I hear it directly from you."

"You should understand that most women do not communicate directly."

"But you're not any woman, are you?" Wang Wei rebutted.

"Fair point," Wu Hong nodded. "The answer is yes, but I want you to understand something clearly: fate has no bearing on whether we end up together. No one is entitled to me — not even Grand Dao."

"That's understandable. I promise to leave you alone if you ask me to."

"Giving up so easily?" she smirked. Wang Wei's heart skipped a beat. She was indeed different, but once in a while, he could detect a sliver of his Wu Hong.

"I believe that's called respective boundaries,' he replied with a more confident smile.

Wu Hong calmly raised her right leg to wash it.

"I have lived a long life, well, at least compared to you. In my long cultivation journey, things have become dull — a fog of continuous gray. But I must admit that the memories of my supposedly other self brought some shade of colors to my life."

She looked him in the eyes.

"Can you be the one to accompany me throughout this journey, or will my life continue as it were before? I'm fine with either outcome."

Wang Wei nodded as he now understood her mindset. The cultivation path is long and arduous, so people have Dao Companions to accompany them. However, someone like Wu Hong, who has already traveled so far, is alright with finding someone to accompany her from now on or continue doing what she's been doing. However, that someone cannot be just anyone else.
