Chapter 1316: Unusual Eyes

Chapter 1316: Abnormal Eyes

Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Hua Xu's words became somewhat incoherent, simply because she had so much she wanted to know.

As a reincarnated soul, she was also a wife and a mother. Her once happy family had been shattered by the invasion of the Tianmo, and reincarnation felt like a fleeting dream. Upon waking, what she cared about most were still her loved ones.

"Shi Xue and Shi Yu are in Da Chu, living well, and both have their own children," Ye Chen said, while handing Hua Xu a clean handkerchief. "Shi Yue has also reincarnated into this Zhutian Wandui, and now she's in the Ji Family on Xuan Yue Ancient Star. As for him..."

At this point, Ye Chen paused, and the image of Hao Tian Xuan Zhen involuntarily flashed in his mind. "As for your husband, he isn't in Da Chu. I still haven't found him."

"Thank you." Hua Xu covered her mouth and cried, her words choked with emotion, unable to speak clearly. Tears continued to flow uncontrollably, blurring her beautiful eyes and wetting her sorrowful cheeks.

Ye Chen felt a pang in his heart at the sight. There were nine hundred million heroic souls from Da Chu—how many people like her must there be?

Seeing Hua Xu like this, Shangguan Yu Er couldn't help but tear up as well. Like Hua Xu, in her past life, she had played various roles, and after reincarnation, what she thought of and missed were her family.

After some time, Hua Xu finally wiped away her tears. "I want to go to Xuan Yue Star and find Shi Yue at the Ji Family."

"Predecessor, I understand your feelings," Ye Chen said, stopping Hua Xu. "But the distance spans countless star domains, making the journey incredibly far. Even saints wouldn't dare to travel lightly, let alone you. I know all too well the dangers along the way—please don't act on impulse."

"I miss them so much." Hua Xu didn't leave in the end, but tears welled up in her eyes again.

"It won't be long; in the future, I'll take you all back to your homeland." Ye Chen smiled. "In the meantime, I hope you can calm your heart, Predecessor. Time for us passes like a white colt flashing by."

"I understand." Hua Xu smiled through her tears, looking at Ye Chen. In her sorrowful expression, there was now a touch of elder's kindness. "Thank you, Chen Ye. If your father knew, he would be so joyful."

"I'm not his child." Ye Chen gave a dry laugh.

"After going through reincarnation and two hundred years, you still can't forgive your father?" Hua Xu looked at Ye Chen with a misty expression, for her feelings had been outdone by his mother.

"I really am not his child." Ye Chen touched his nose. "I absorbed the essence of the son of the earth, merging my bloodline with all living beings, so the Kunlun Cause and Effect Mirror lit up when testing blood ties."

"This..." Hua Xu was stunned, never expecting that the events of the past had such hidden circumstances. A twist of fate had led to so many misunderstandings, leaving Hao Tian Xuan Zhen with regrets until his death.

"This is really..." Shangguan Yu Er scratched her head, her expression turning strange.

"I'm sorry, I only found out later." Ye Chen's words were full of apology, directed at both Hua Xu and Hao Tian Xuan Zhen. If Hao Tian Xuan Zhen had known, who knows what he would have thought.

"Even so, he would still treat you as his child." Hua Xu laughed, coming back to her senses from her daze. Whether it was true or not didn't matter anymore—what was important was that they were all still alive.

"Does Shi Yue Jie know that you two have no blood relation?" Shangguan Yu Er blinked her big eyes. Not just her, but Hua Xu also looked at Ye Chen. The way these two were looking at him was anything but normal—others in Da Chu might not know, but how could they not know about Hao Tian Shi Yue's feelings for Ye Chen?

"Of course she knows." Seeing the abnormal looks from Shangguan Yu Er and Hua Xu, Ye Chen coughed dryly.

"She must be very happy." Hua Xu laughed.

"It's... it's alright!" Ye Chen touched his nose again, and involuntarily, the image of Hao Tian Shi Yue's expression at the time flashed in his mind. She had been so excited, almost to the point of...

"You two didn't... you know..." While Ye Chen was lost in thought, Shangguan Yu Er started blinking her eyes again.

Her question made Ye Chen's expression turn wonderfully awkward, and it also made Hua Xu's face show a similar reaction. You little girl, her mother is right here—don't be so blunt; it's so embarrassing.

Perhaps realizing her words were inappropriate, Shangguan Yu Er awkwardly stuck out her tongue.

However, her question made Hua Xu's gaze at Ye Chen even more abnormal, like she was looking at a son-in-law. As a mother, she actually wanted to ask Ye Chen if he had been with her daughter.

Ye Chen felt awkward, feeling uncomfortable under Hua Xu's gaze.

Heaven and earth as my witness, I didn't! I really didn't! I've been cultivating for two hundred years, and I've only been with Chu Ling—and even that was passive. You can look, but don't make your eyes so abnormal.

The atmosphere on site became somewhat strange.

In the end, it was Ye Chen's hehehe laughter that broke the silence.

As he laughed, his laughter suddenly stopped, and he turned to leave in a hurry. "I'm going to find the reincarnated souls."

"I'm going too." Seeing Ye Chen about to leave, Shangguan Yu Er giggled and quickly followed.

"And me." Hua Xu followed as well.

"The soul imprints of the reincarnated ones are only with me; you two can't help." Ye Chen waved his hand.

"That won't do—if you don't come back, who will I turn to?" Shangguan Yu Er pouted.

"How could that happen? I'll bring the reincarnated ones I find back to this mountain."

"I don't care; I want to follow."

"Don't make a fuss; you really can't help." As Ye Chen spoke, he had already stepped onto the ethereal void, with his fading words echoing behind him: "Stay on this immortal mountain; don't wander off again."

Shangguan Yu Er puffed out her cheeks but didn't follow, knowing she would just be a burden to Ye Chen.

His decision to come back with them had already proven everything. On the surface, it was to awaken Hua Xu's memories, but in reality, he was escorting them all the way, afraid that the mysterious strong one might abduct them midway.

Now that they had arrived and Hua Xu's past memories were unlocked, he naturally wouldn't idle around. There were still many reincarnated souls from Da Chu in this star domain, and every moment delayed could mean more danger.

On the mountain peak, only Hua Xu and Shangguan Yu Er remained, both quietly watching the direction Ye Chen had left.

Whether Hua Xu or Shangguan Yu Er, their beautiful eyes were filled with hope, wishing that the reincarnated souls Ye Chen found this time would include the people they cared about, like Hao Tian Xuan Zhen and Shangguan Xuan Zong.

"A hundred years have passed; how much has he suffered? With nine hundred million heroic souls from Da Chu, how long will it take for him alone to find them all?" Hua Xu took a deep breath. Even though Ye Chen wasn't Hao Tian Xuan Zhen's biological flesh and blood, seeing his desolate back still made her heart ache. She had never seen such a forlorn figure before.

"Since we can't go with him to find the reincarnated souls, we should do something ourselves," Shangguan Yu Er said.

"My Tianling Family is still quite strong; we can protect the reincarnated ones." Hua Xu smiled lightly and turned to walk down the mountain. "We should arrange living quarters for the Da Chu reincarnated souls as soon as possible."

"That's exactly what I was thinking." Shangguan Yu Er followed, looking at Hua Xu with a playful grin and giggling. "So, should I call you Jie or respectfully call you Predecessor?"

"The seniority in Da Chu is already a mess; just call me Jie." Hua Xu laughed and shrugged her shoulders.

"Then, Jie, tell me—did that boy Ye Chen really... you know, with Shi Yue Jie?"

"You should still call me Predecessor!"
