After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1242 - 1239: I Feel Sorry for You

Xiaowu’s words exploded within Bi Xia’s heart like a bomb. She never realized that Void Space wasn’t exactly as she understood it to be—a place for mental training. No, to her, it was a place for mental training, but for Xiaowu, it was a constant reminder that he was merely a created spirit entity, destined only to guard these things without any freedom.Destruction, perhaps...

Bi Xia bent down and hugged Xiaowu tightly, closing her eyes helplessly. With a self-deprecating chuckle, she had originally intended to take this chance to harshly criticize Xiaowu for acting impulsively. But now her heart softened, she felt his pain. If it was Bi Xiaoyuan standing there, she wouldn’t be able to resist feeling sorry for him and hugging him; let alone Xiaowu, who in her heart was as much a brother as Xiaoyuan...

"Sister..." Xiaowu’s voice trembled, "I considered taking over someone else’s body, destroying their soul... But believe me, I know you wouldn’t like that, so I didn’t! I picked this body because the moment I saw him, I knew he wouldn’t live much longer."

"This body’s spiritual power is high, able to support me waking up immediately after entering it. Most importantly, he’s an orphan, abandoned from a young age, with no family disputes to worry about. That’s why I chose him!"

"These past few days, I’ve tried to prolong his life, but it was useless. The child couldn’t hold on after being taken from the hospital by Yu Hai and his men; that’s when I officially took over this body!"

Cautiously feeling Bi Xia’s warmth as she embraced him, Xiaowu bit his lip, "Sister, if you don’t like it or if you think this method is terrifying... I can return to space and never do it again. Please don’t be mad, alright?"

The child’s voice was hoarse and soft, trembling with fear, grievance, and cautious probing. Bi Xia remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly. Carrying Xiaowu in that same posture, she placed him on her lap. With starry eyes, she looked seriously at Xiaowu, "Xiaowu, let me ask you, do you think sister likes you?"

"She does."

"Does sister care about you?"

"She does."

"Has sister ever gone back on her promises to you?"

"No, she hasn’t."

"Then, since she hasn’t, why would you think that sister would blame you for this?" Bi Xia asked softly, "Why would you think sister would be afraid of you because of a bad method? Would you do that to your sister?"

"I wouldn’t!" Xiaowu quickly retorted, then suddenly met those starry eyes filled with a faint smile and warmth. He paused, gradually nestling himself into Bi Xia’s embrace, "I like sister. I don’t want sister to be disappointed in me."

"I am indeed a bit disappointed," Bi Xia smiled, feeling the child stiffen due to her words, "You silly child, I’m disappointed you chose such a body. Not knowing the child was you at the time, seeing the place where his heart was taken, I felt that if anyone dared to do such a thing to my brother, I’d make sure they experienced the pain of having their hearts taken."

"But..." Bi Xia kissed Xiaowu’s hair, "Do you know how heartbroken I was when I realized you were him? Even though it wasn’t you who suffered before, it’s you who will use this body in the future, silly one."

Xiaowu stared blankly at Bi Xia, never expecting her to be angry because of this, nor expecting her not to oppose his methods. Such methods would seem terrifying and dangerous to anyone.

Clearly understanding Xiaowu’s thoughts, Bi Xia flicked Xiaowu’s forehead lightly, "I tell you for the last time, I’m not a good person—this you know. Between relatives and strangers, I naturally choose relatives. You should trust me and tell me about this method sooner. That way, I could have found you a healthy body, free of flaws and defects, with strong spiritual power, making my Xiaowu complete and unharmed."

"Xiaowu, from the day you called me sister, you’ve been my brother. Others don’t matter to me."

Desperately trying to hold back tears, Xiaowu felt he was being overly emotional, perhaps having become more sensitive after becoming human. He hugged Bi Xia tightly, "Sister! Sister! Wah! I love sister most! Super love sister! I’m sorry!!!!"

Listening to Xiaowu’s sobs, Bi Xia gently comforted him, but her starry eyes turned a bit cold. This feeling of having her family controlled was really damn... unbearable!

Sooner or later, she’ll destroy this fucked-up setup!
