Chapter 1525: Chapter 49: A Mortal Love Tied by Fate

However, when Zhou Yan was even prepared to mock Bai Ying and hurt Bai Ying, inexplicably, his brow felt a slight chill, and a figure appeared in his mind.

Relying on the golden energy, it formed the figure of a woman.

"Husband, you not only have Zishuang, but also Qingyan and Yanyan, steadfastly guard your true self, only then can you resist the charming Dao of the Jade Fox Monarch."

"Husband, although Zishuang hasn’t come, Zishuang is with you at all times."

The condensed figure was precisely the figure of Feng Zishuang.

The method, almost identical to Zhou Lingyi’s golden energy leaf form, yet distinctly different.

But anyway, the essence of both is almost identical.

At this moment, Zhou Yan suddenly thought of Zhou Lingyi.

Feng Zishuang’s actions only show her heart and soul are with Zhou Yan; this feeling no longer requires questioning or proof because this feeling is profoundly deep.

Then what about Zhou Lingyi?

Zhou Yan gradually calmed down, no longer so confused.

But Zhou Yan also truly realized how terrifying the charming King Immortal Principle is.

Zhou Yan knew that when it comes to willpower and self-strengthening abilities, he himself was extremely outstanding, and perhaps only Zhou Gucheng could surpass him, even Hou Chen might not exceed him in willpower.

Yet at this moment Zhou Yan still easily fell for it, nearly perishing!

Zhou Yan’s heart was humbled, and when he raised his head again, he saw Bai Ying’s bleak and dim gaze.

Zhou Yan felt a bit of sadness in his heart; his actions truly hurt Bai Ying’s feelings and left Bai Ying almost in despair.

Thus, Zhou Yan’s eyes were incredibly clear and sincere as he said, "Bai Ying, don’t worry, I’m fine now, I’ve escaped the influence of the Heavenly Fox’s charming King Dao."

Zhou Yan’s words caused Bai Ying to tremble, then she looked at Zhou Yan with a doubtful gaze.

Seeing Zhou Yan’s incredibly clear and confident gaze, completely detached from that King Dao influence, she was instantly quite excited, nearly crying with joy, saying: "Good, good, finally escaped the influence. With this, preaching to you will be much easier."

"Zhou Yan, I’m sorry, I actually knew you would be affected earlier, but I couldn’t say it too clearly in advance. Because once you have a sense of precaution, even if you withstand it, it won’t have much effect, and you’ll still fall for it in the Dust World.

I knew it would put you in an extremely dangerous situation, possibly becoming a puppet of charm, but I would naively think you would be different."

"Now it seems you’ve finally passed this challenge of the charming King Principle."

Bai Ying was very excited, her gaze towards Zhou Yan seemed even more fervent.

Zhou Yan touched his neck, showing a hint of embarrassment.

Actually, when facing the King’s charming rules, the disgracefulness was already imaginable.

If not for the shaking power from Feng Zishuang’s Ancient Life Clan, letting Zhou Yan’s Eternal Life Being awaken, he might have already become a puppet.

But with the aura of Feng Zishuang’s Ancient Life Clan guarding him, Zhou Yan was also confident that he would not lose himself in the Dust World.

Even if the protective effect of that power disappears, Zhou Yan has gained confidence.

The biggest difference between him and other Life is, after suffering once from a certain ability, he will never suffer a second time.

Regardless if it’s the copying ability of the form or the memory ability of the chip, these abilities may not be strong now, but are enough to let Zhou Yan form resistance forces.

In this state, Zhou Yan, stabilizing Bai Ying’s emotions, said, "Don’t worry, we will surely succeed!"

"Mm, then we will sit cross-legged, and you just follow my instructions and start acting, then..."

Bai Ying revealed the specific steps, and Zhou Yan immediately cooperated.

To live out a life in the Dust World, Zhou Yan had actually experienced it once, which was an ordinary life, an ordinary existence.

However, before this action, Zhou Yan imagined that such an ordinary life, every day was incredibly real and emotions incredibly complex...So what about now in this vast world? What about the world of Eternal Life Beings?

Could there also be such possibilities?

What is the essence of life?

Together with Bi Shui Fairy living out two lifetimes, does this count as life? Does it count as two complete lifetimes?

During the cooperation with Bai Ying, Zhou Yan unexpectedly had deep thoughts about ’life’ and ’Heavenly Destiny’.

During these thoughts, Zhou Yan gradually immersed himself into a unique illusion, gradually forgetting his original true self.

...

Thousand lifetimes of reincarnation, a myriad of Red Dust.

In the ordinary world, there are ordinary life journeys and ordinary Red Dust ties.

In this world, it’s a world of scholars.

In this world, everything seemed very simple.

As long as you study, you can make a name for yourself, you can change the status quo.

In this world, Zhou Yan is a scholar, studying the "The Book of Changes" and "Tao Te Ching".

Yet, in this world, Zhou Yan always feels that there seems to be something missing in life.

But he focuses on reading, hoping to find unknown answers within the scriptures.

This process continued until an opportunity arose for a palace examination, bringing about a change.

That day, Zhou Yan sought shelter from the rain in a deserted temple on a desolate mountain, where he found an injured little fox.

Instinctively moved by compassion, Zhou Yan saved the little fox.

After that, the little fox became inseparable from Zhou Yan, maintaining a close relationship and unwilling to leave.

Zhou Yan didn’t think much of it. As the little fox was snow-white and cute, and always liked to chirp ’ying ying’, he named her ’Yingying’.

From then on, Yingying always stayed by Zhou Yan’s side.

When Zhou Yan studied late into the night, Yingying would quietly squat beside him, watching silently, occasionally stretching out her snow-white paw to help turn the pages, and even performing some adorable actions.

The human and the fox shared an elegant tranquility.

Time passed swiftly like this.

From a scholar to an advanced scholar, during this time, the white fox made significant contributions, as many times when Zhou Yan was confused, it was the little fox’s actions that inspired Zhou Yan for insights to dawn naturally.

This kind of life should have continued forever, until one day, a dream changed everything.

Immersed in the world of books, Zhou Yan fell asleep while reading, and in his dream, he encountered some very modern scenes.

In this modern setting, he was very close to a woman.

So close that they not only shared meals and lived together, but also indulged in intimacy.

And the dream’s progression, especially the stormy scene with the woman, although beautiful, had Zhou Yan in some actions, leaving bloodstains on certain parts.

Perhaps the dream world wasn’t entirely realistic, but the bloody traces were incredibly real.

When Zhou Yan woke up, he was bewildered, but found his male instincts had already strongly aroused, while the white fox hugged his thigh, sleeping peacefully and adorably.

However, the only unusual thing was that the little fox’s abdomen was distinctly stained with a layer of bright red blood.

Blood.

So piercing, piercing enough that in an instant, Zhou Yan’s heart nearly winced, seemingly completing many missing pieces of unease.

At that moment, Zhou Yan thought of the inexplicable modern dream, feeling contemplative.

Looking at the white fox again, he felt a deeper sense of closeness.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan gradually calmed his heart, and the scriptures in his hands became more than just scriptures.

Zhou Yan vaguely sensed as if he had escaped the shackles of this Dust World, gradually experiencing something unique and transcendent.

Zhou Yan knew he couldn’t wake up because once awake, this Dust World would inevitably collapse for some reasons, preventing some things from being completed, but he wouldn’t deliberately run such a life, so while taking care of the white fox, he maintained a certain attention to his actions.

In such situations, when Zhou Yan read again, it presented a different meaning.

This kind of life continued.

In this life, Zhou Yan encountered numerous admirers, talented women, many extremely beautiful women deeply infatuated with Zhou Yan, full of endless temptation.

If Zhou Yan hadn’t experienced that seemingly modern dream, he would surely have been moved by such peerless beauties, promising them a lifelong commitment.

Sadly, after experiencing a modern scene in his dream, Zhou Yan no longer had such thoughts.

His heart and feelings were entirely entrusted to that fox.

And as life continued, the fox gradually grew up, and one day, she joyfully transformed in front of Zhou Yan into a beautiful woman in a white gauze dress.

She already wholeheartedly considered Zhou Yan her husband, so she was very open.

And Zhou Yan, understanding some, was exceptionally gentle, very genuine.

This care, this mutual affection, made this happy life continue from the beginning until the end.

No regrets.

No regrets at all.

And after transforming into a human, Bai Ying gradually began to compose poetry with Zhou Yan, perceive heaven and earth together, travel mountains and rivers, living a carefree, very happy life.

Perhaps the only regret was that they had no children.

Bai Ying’s only regret lay in this, but after Zhou Yan’s many words of advice, Bai Ying’s regret gradually disappeared, leading her to love Zhou Yan more deeply.

This affection, whether in an ordinary person’s life or in the timeline of an Eternal Spirit, was as beautiful as a mirage.

Yet such Dust World ties, such boundless red dust happiness, were actually earned through many sacrifices.
