Leng Bing said, kissed Li Chen gently on the cheek, and walked out of the kitchen. She thought quietly that her future life would be so ordinary. Li Chen was just the chef and owner of Yangchun Pavilion, and she was a lazy boss lady.

...It's fine if it's as plain as this. This is the life she wants, and she won't allow anyone to destroy it. No one can do it.

No matter what the outcome is, Leng Bing will never let go.

Leng Bing passed by Nan Yangchun's room and paused. Calculating the time, Wu Lingchun should still be staying inside.

Wu Lingchun was naturally guarding Nan Yangchun's bedside. Unlike before, Nan Yangchun had woken up from his drowsiness and was lying with his eyes open. In other words, he had never been drowsy, but was just pretending to sleep. He couldn't stay on the hospital bed.

He continued to pretend to be a bastard father. He was afraid that if he showed his true expression, Li Chen would cry.

"Did you let the doctor tell lies?" Wu Lingchun said, "You are not sick, you just forcibly unlocked the magic power and your life was exhausted, right?"

Nan Yangchun didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence. For Li Chen, such lies are far easier to bear than the truth. But——

"What is the truth? Can Uncle Nan tell me?"

Wu Lingchun wanted to know the relationship between Li Chen and Ta Yue. They overlapped in time, so they were not reincarnations. Li Chen had no illness or disaster in his life, so he could not be resurrected. There was only one possible conclusion:

Two spirits in one body. Li Chen has both of them in his body

The souls of himself and Tuyue overlap with each other, confusing Li Chen's memory. If this is the case, Li Chen is in a very dangerous situation now. The two souls in his body fight and occupy each other, and one may swallow the other.

It is also possible that both sides will perish and no one will be left.

Therefore, Wu Lingchun hoped that Nan Yangchun would give the answer as soon as possible. And... after seeing the scene just now, he was not sure whether he could bear the torture of losing and regaining, gaining and losing again.

"I am an old member of the Demon Lord. Fifty years ago, because I was dissatisfied with the Demon Lord's soul-hunting behavior, I betrayed him and fled to the human world. I know the Demon Lord's character very well, and he will never forgive anyone who betrays him."

Wu Lingchun nodded. Chu Yunshen, Ying Taiping, and Nan Gezi were all punished by the Demon Lord, which shows the Demon Lord's attitude towards betrayers. But for Yan Lixi, the Demon Lord seemed to have never recognized him or entrusted him with important responsibilities.

He let it go just like that.

"Thinking of my past kindness, I once swore to the Demon Lord that I would never use demonic arts again or be his enemy. At least, not like Chu Yunshennan Gezi, who was trained by him and then turned against him. But

Even so, he still refused to give up. He wanted me to suffer, but he didn't do anything to me, but he put a curse on my own son..."

Wu Lingchun understood a little bit. It turned out that Nanyangchun had abandoned Li Chen and his son in the countryside to run the tavern alone. It was not about worldly affairs or greed for profit, but just to avoid involving them and to prevent the Demon Lord from finding them. However, the Demon Lord still found Li Chen.

Chen mother and son. Then, what did he do to Li Chen?

"Well..." Nan Yangchun let out a long sigh of relief. From the beginning, he never expected that he and his family could escape the Demon Lord's revenge. However, he must do his best to protect his family, even if he and his wife suffer from longing.

Even if his son will grow up in resentment and loneliness, he must do that. The bottom line he pursues is that his wife and children must live. It doesn't matter even if he is considered an indifferent husband or a bastard father.

But... he was also well aware of the Demon Lord's plans and methods. The hiding place of his wife and children was quickly learned by the Demon Lord. What made Nan Yangchun even more uneasy was that the Demon Lord did not act immediately, he just sent people

Monitoring every move of the mother and son. Li Chen was only 14 or 15 at the time, and his mother was lingering on the bedside, so the two of them naturally didn't notice.

Not long after, Xia Gulin declared war on the Demon Lord. Nanyang Chun and Xia were close friends, but because they had an appointment with the Demon Lord, they did not go to the Demon Realm to fight together, but only supported him in the human world. The war ended.

Later, Ta Yue disappeared, and the people sent by the Demon Lord to monitor Li Chen's mother and son also disappeared. Such a coincidence made Nan Yangchun deeply suspicious.

However, a few months later, Li Chen's mother died of a serious illness. Nanyangchun took Li Chen to Yangzhou City. There was no substantial causal relationship between the two events. The reason why Nanyangchun took Li Chen to his side was because he

I found that my son had changed a lot... Although I hadn't seen him for a long time and the son didn't understand his father at all, my father secretly never missed his son's growth. Nan Yangchun began to find the shadow of another person in his son: Mr. Tayue.

.

His expression, posture, actions, and attitude seemed to be subtly becoming more and more like the missing Moon-Treading Master. Nan Yangchun left Li Chen by his side to observe, and he became more and more frightened. He began to believe that the Demon Lord was indeed interested in his son.

What did he do to create a certain connection between him and Mr. Treading the Moon?

As for how Demon Lord did it specifically, based on Nan Yangchun's understanding of the magic of the demon world, he believed that there was only one possibility: to materialize the soul of Treading the Moon and make it into a spiritual core and place it in Li Chen's body. Yes.

For the Demon Lord who is well versed in soul refining, it is not difficult to materialize the soul, and it is even easier to implant it into Li Chen's body without him realizing it.

After the spiritual core takes root in Li Chen's body, once he meets someone deep in his memory or an unforgettable memory, it will begin to take root and sprout. When there are roots and sprouts, Li Chen will not notice it until the spiritual core grows branches.

As the leaves flourish, his memory will begin to be confused, his emotions will begin to overlap, and he will not be able to tell who he is. In the end, it is still unclear whether he will be completely swallowed by the moon, or whether he will die of mental confusion and madness...

This is the truth. This is the Demon Lord's method of punishing betrayers. This is the relationship between Li Chen and Ta Yue. This is Li Chen's future destiny. This is the answer Wu Lingchun wants.

After listening to Nan Yangchun's story, Wu Lingchun was indifferent for a moment, then suddenly became angry and said angrily: "You, since you know that Li Chen will have this fate after seeing us, why did you bring him to Yangzhou! Let him live in Yangzhou!

Isn't it the best choice to be a country farmer in the fields and live a peaceful life? You, what on earth do you think?"

Wu Lingchun's hand had already reached out to Nan Yangchun's collar. Considering that he was seriously ill and weak, he trembled several times, but finally did not pick him up and threw him against the wall.

"Haha, Xiaochun, think about it, Li Chen is the son of Nan Yangchun, our demon Zuo envoy, and he has the core of the soul of Mr. Treading the Moon. Could he be farming in the countryside and living a mediocre life? How can human power stop Hanzang?

The pearls of the tsunami are buried in the gravel? All this is fate."

It's all...fate.

Wu Lingchun sat in a chair in despair. No matter whether Nan Yangchun's statement was true or not, nothing could be changed. Li Chen had already met his old friend and regained the past. His memories began to be confused and his feelings overlapped. In the end, Li Chen

Will Chen be swallowed up by Ta Yue's soul, or will he be unable to bear the pain of separation and become insane until death?

Wu Lingchun didn't dare to think about it. In the past five years, he had made so many wishes and made so many efforts, just hoping that Ta Yue could come back to him. As long as he could come back, it didn't matter what he lost. But he couldn't dream

He would never have thought that his wish would be realized in this way. Sacrificing the son of his best friend, sacrificing the most real Nan Lichen... Maybe, in the end, both Li Chen and Ta Yue will cease to exist.

No, it won't be that bad. He asked urgently: "Uncle Nan, is there any way to remove the spiritual core from Li Chen's body?"

"Yes, there is. With my magic power, I could have done it five years ago."

"Then why don't you..."

Wu Lingchun understood. He suddenly understood why Nanyangchun had the opportunity to take out the spiritual core five years ago, but never took it out. Because doing so would destroy Treadyue's spiritual core. Treadyue, this person, will

Completely disappear from the world.

"Uncle Nan..."

Wu Lingchun held Nan Yangchun's hand and burst into tears. At this time, he no longer knew whether to be grateful or sorry. In the current situation, Li Chen being completely swallowed up by Ta Yue's spiritual core is the best ending... But if

If that was really the case, how should Wu Lingchun face Nanyangchun and Leng Bing?

He had no idea in his mind. He never thought that the day when Te Yue returned to him would actually make him so sad, so despairing.

"All we can do about Li Chen's fate is pray." Nan Yangchun coughed twice, "It's my incompetence... In the end, I still couldn't protect my son. No, maybe, I can really protect him.

Maybe."

perhaps?
