Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1897 Ambition in Four Directions

Time spent together always seems too short. Although we've been through a lot, we must embark on a new journey. We've all reunited, though this time there aren't as many as before. Many teammates have been running around, busy with other things. This time, we're all gathered together, raising a glass in celebration. I understand we can't stay here forever; everyone has different ambitions. A true man's ambition lies in all directions, and we are no exception. Zuo Chenwei and Bai Jingyi were reluctant to part with us, urging us to finish our work and come back to reunite with them. Actually, my feelings for everyone are the same; that unbreakable bond is perhaps even more precious than family. They are our teammates who fought side-by-side, people we will always remember. That sudden turn of events that brought us together was an unavoidable turning point. Although it was a trial, it was also a solution—a solution to life's hardships that allowed us to rise again. Zhou Chuyuan was somewhat excited, wondering where we would go next and what the specific arrangements would be. None of us understand. Our journey in the small world should be over. We have a few choices: first, return to our spirit world; second, go to the greater world; third, go to the pseudo-world. Perhaps none of these are what we want, but what step are we missing? It feels like something's missing. I haven't contacted my father or the others; I just want us to explore on our own. Perhaps after we truly succeed, another ladder will be offered to us, but we haven't seen it yet. Could a deity come to take us away? But that thought is rather naive. No deity has come to greet us. Suddenly, an impossible thought popped into my head: we've been abandoned. If we really have been abandoned, that would be terrible. But can we really be abandoned so easily? Mimi has been really asking me to give her a break lately. She's got a boyfriend, so she's not single anymore, but she's been working here the whole time. What's going on? Even the most exhausted laborers should have time to rest and relax. Now, there aren't even holidays, no time for romance. I'm practically exploiting my employees. I wasn't happy when Mimi said that, since I'm not the boss and she's not an employee, but there's nothing I can do but swallow my pride. After thinking for a long time, I said that leaving here would give me a break. Actually, I'm not exactly lying; I want to see what the future holds. Maybe everyone will end up in a different field. In this situation, Mimi basically sleeps in my consciousness every day; I can't even call her. Waking up is worse than taking a vacation. I don't need it anyway. Within my own consciousness, I generally don't need external aids, so I definitely won't need Mie Mie at this level. In the middle of the night, Mu Chen found me and said, "Sister Yue, what's the plan for the future? I was with Brother Fei before, but I don't want to stay in his world anymore. I just want to go further and further with you so we can find some medicine. You know Xiao Ke's condition; it can't be delayed for long. Brother Fei has tried to keep me in his world several times, but I've politely declined. It's not that I don't want to stay; I know Brother Fei's medical skills are excellent, but that kind of medicine isn't ordinary..." "Ordinary medicines can be developed; what I need is a foolproof medicine, one that exists in an ideal world." After listening, I nodded and said, "I understand your feelings very well now, but I hope you will listen to what I have to say. I'm very happy that you can come with me, but Fei-ge's resources are limited, as everyone has witnessed. It's not that Fei-ge's abilities are lacking, but rather that the medicines there are simply not suitable. What I want to say now is that if you stay with me, I will absolutely do everything in my power to find this medicine for you. As long as I'm alive, as long as I have a breath left to move, I will not give up. You also know..." "We're currently undergoing training, and it'll be over soon. When we reach the next world, perhaps we can exchange for that medicine. Don't be discouraged; you're on the right path. I spoke to my father about this last time, and he agreed. You two are a star-crossed couple, but that doesn't mean you'll suffer forever. There will be a day when your hardships end and your happiness returns. You are destined for each other." Mu Chen nodded in agreement, saying nothing more, and went back. I slowly closed my eyes, wondering if what I said was truly correct, or just words of comfort. But I didn't have time to think about that. The path was right beneath my feet, paved by everyone's own footsteps.
