Chapter 947: Chapter 947: Zhao’er Has Grown Old (Request for Monthly Ticket, Six Chapters Tomorrow)

Zi Yi and Little Yue were already sobbing uncontrollably, lying next to your bed one after the other. Tears also hung in the eyes of the Meng Family’s matriarch as she gently leaned against Luo Cheng, her face filled with worry.

Luo Xin had just returned from outside, holding a box in his hands. The box contained over a dozen Dan Medicines that emitted a faint Spiritual Energy. Wu Zhao seemed to sense something and, after fifteen days, she finally slowly opened her eyes.

"Little sister, these are the fifteen types of Dan Medicine you asked me to find. They are all here. Do you need anything else? I’ll go find it right away."

"Thank you, Elder brother. This is enough."

What made Luo Xin and the others feel a bit strange was that Wu Zhao, having neither eaten nor drunk for nearly half a month, showed not the slightest hint of weakness on her face. Instead, she appeared to be brimming with energy.

Holding the box in front of you, Wu Zhao first placed the largest blue-green Dan Medicine into your mouth and then pressed her seductive lips to yours. Wu Zhao’s actions were clean and straightforward; she did not show any shyness in front of so many people, even though her face was covered in blush.

Repeating this process, after Wu Zhao had transferred all fifteen Dan Medicines into your abdomen, she suddenly quickly interlaced her hands to make a seal, chanting a string of words unknown to the others.

"Let’s step outside."

Luo Cheng led the onlookers out and then firmly closed the door. He was rather satisfied with Wu Zhao as a future daughter-in-law; she handled matters efficiently and decisively, showing the demeanor of a commander. Most importantly, since Wu Zhao had called you "husband" three times, Luo Cheng knew her heart was entirely devoted to you.

Just after Luo Cheng stepped outside, he suddenly heard Wu Zhao inside shout, "Gate of Life, activate!"

"Eh, who would have thought the little sister-in-law also knew the Second Young Master’s Sect Master’s Absolute Skill?"

Luo Cheng remained silent, although his eyes also revealed a hint of confusion. About ten minutes later, your door opened, and Wu Zhao walked out slowly.

"Aunt!"

When everyone saw Wu Zhao’s appearance, they were all stunned; Little Yue was so frightened that she hurried forward to embrace her. At that moment, Wu Zhao seemed to have aged about twenty years in just a quarter of an hour. Her temples were now flecked with grey, her previously smooth and tender skin had slightly loosened, revealing wrinkles and an instant display of aging.

"Zhao’er, why have you turned out like this?" Meng Family’s Matriarch was also quick to support the seemingly unstable Wu Zhao, her face full of pain and pity.

"It’s nothing serious; I just used up some vitality. The husband has regained his vitality and should be able to get up in a few days. But before that, I hope everyone can grant me one request..."

When you opened your dim eyes and rubbed your sore eyes, you discovered that it was a bright sunny day, the window half-open, letting some sunlight spill in.

"Second Young Master, you are awake!" Little Yue just stepped in from outside and saw you waking up, a smile immediately appeared on her face. However, for some reason, Little Yue’s smile seemed especially pale and weak, as if she was carrying some heavy burden in her heart.

"Little Yue, how long have I been unconscious?"

You had just woken up, your body still very weak, your face also very pale, but compared to before, you had improved drastically. Although your body had thinned considerably, your external injuries had all healed, even leaving no scars.

"Second Young Master, you have been asleep for about twenty days."

"That long, huh." You gently patted your aching head, feeling as if something was missing from your mind, "Strange, why do I always feel like there’s something missing in my mind? Right, how did I fall unconscious? Odd, I distinctly remember that I was cultivating in the outskirts."

In reality, while treating you, Wu Zhao had used the Immortal Law from the "Escape from Heaven Book" she cultivated to alter some of your memories, and also permanently erased herself from your memories.

The "Gate of Life" operated by Wu Zhao was completely different from yours.

Your "Gate of Life" was to absorb the Original True Qi from nature, nurturing yourself and transforming your body; whereas Wu Zhao’s "Gate of Life" could also absorb some Spiritual Energy under normal circumstances, but at a much slower rate and quantity compared to yours, and with some limitations. To save you, Wu Zhao sacrificed twenty years of her youth, giving you the most precious years of her life.

The lost vitality of Wu Zhao was irreversible, meaning she could never return to her age of twenty. Because of that, Wu Zhao decided to leave you forever, at least she would not enter your sight again.

At last, the Yang family, led by Wu Zhao and Wu Shun, left Luo Mansion. Luo Cheng bought a small courtyard across the street, only ten meters away from Luo Mansion, for his mother and sisters to reside in.

In those days, the Meng Family and Zi Yi still visited the courtyard frequently to see Wu Zhao. Although Wu Zhao had resolved to sever all ties with you, the Meng Family still acknowledged her as the Eldest Matron. Luo Cheng also declared that no matter whom you would marry in the future, the position of Eldest Matron would always be reserved for Wu Zhao, and even Zi Yi addressed her as "Elder Sister."

However, when Wu Zhao left, she required that everyone keep it a secret, and absolutely not mention her name or any of her deeds in front of you, otherwise, she would disappear forever from their sights, choosing to live out her days alone in a remote mountain.

Time flew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed; tomorrow would be the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.

After awakening, you always felt as if you had recovered from something, which left you in a somewhat dazed state. Thankfully, later on, Luo Xin frequently took you out to drink and attend poetry contests with some playboys; over time, you gradually returned to normal. Soon, you became a part of that group of playboys, living a life of revelry.

On Mid-Autumn Festival, after dining with your family, you were unbearably bored, so you decided to go out for a stroll. Without bringing anyone along, you walked alone on the somewhat deserted streets. Unbeknownst to you, it had nearly been a year since your soul had entered this Map of Kingdom, and although you knew nothing of the outside world, here, time seemed to pass very quickly. After all, you were cultivating day and night.

As you arrived at a street corner, you couldn’t help but gaze at the moon and reflect.

Indeed, what everyone didn’t know was that as time passed, the feeling of emptiness in your heart became more apparent. On many nights, a blurry figure often flashed through your mind; although you couldn’t recall her name, you knew she must be immensely important to you. Yet frustratingly, you couldn’t remember who she was.

At that moment, from a nearby courtyard, there came an ethereal, slightly sorrowful melody of a qin. Listening to it, you couldn’t help but sing a song you had loved in a previous life:

"Flowers under the eaves quietly bloom,

The night wind lingers long outside the door,

A waning moon hangs over the window sill, casting memories into the light,

Is she still there in my heart?

The bustling dust settles down,

The noise disperses, forgetting the sadness,

Waiting with a lifetime’s fate for destiny’s arrangement,

How many lifetimes of helplessness remain.

Asking the bright moon, about its waxing and waning,

Do you also hear the endless longing?

Who understands the taste of a full moon’s hope,

The insects cry, sound by sound, inducing weariness.

Asking the bright moon, about its waxing and waning,

Unable to illuminate all the incomprehensible bonds of the mortal world,

Who feels the joy and sorrow on a crescent moon night?

Make a wish, night after night, fulfill it."
