“Lil’Yu, pay attention to Grandmaster Uncle Lele’s Art of Accumulation of Sword Energy Slash . ”
“Isn’t ‘martial grand uncle’ older than ‘master’?” FrozenCloud’s words caught Zhang Zhengxiong’s attention . “How dare Lele takes advantage of brother and me?! No way . I’m Grandmaster Uncle too! Brother is Honorable Master . ”
“Then, who is the master?” Zhao Xiangyu was speechless .
“It’s alright . Grandmaster Uncle and Honorable Master are enough . As for master . . . just treat it as if it doesn’t exist . These formalities are not so important,” Zhang Zhengxiong replied .
“ . . . . . . ”
“Calling you Master Uncle would be better . ” Zhao Xianyu thought . What if I have my own apprentices in the future and they ask me who is their Honorable Master? I can’t say that Honorable Master doesn’t exist but there is a Great Honorable Master .
After finishing, Ye Cang went to the train station .
Rays of sunlight shone through the window and splattered on his face . His white hair seemed extraordinarily shiny under the sunlight .
Ye Cang turned to look at the sea . “The knot in my heart has to be untied anyway . I’m sorry, A’Xiong . Allow me to be this reckless for the last time . Even though it might be impossible, I would still like to try . . . try to revive Xinxue . ”
XinYun City . The headquarters of Sky Lord Company Group .

Staring at the woman in the liquid tank, Ye Cang looked extremely serious .
“Think carefully . Do you really want her to regain consciousness?” The boss lifted his spectacles and stared at Ye Cang .
“This is the last thing I’d want to do . I’m not sure whether I’ll live tomorrow so why not give it a try,” Ye Cang reached out his hands and caressed the door of the tank .
“Men should never become a spirit in the past,” the boss activated the door .
Instantly, the liquid evaporated into gas . The woman who looked completely the same as Xinxue opened her eyes . However, she did not look lively at all .
The boss shook his head . This guy is too stubborn . He only wishes to revive the original . Every clone and artificial human would be given a soul to live a new life but this is hard for the original because the soul of this girl has gone long ago . Even if she is revived, it would be just her empty body, not her soul . “Actually, you’re just afraid of the loneliness that she felt . The guilt that you have whenever a new person walks into your heart . . . it really scares you…”
“I know . . . but it’s really hard to let go . Can you let go of Lil’Love?” Ye Cang gently caressed Xinxue’s face as her eyes started to turn red . “It’s about to zombify (When the corpse which one tries to revive on purpose has no soul, it would be demonized quickly . This is the law of lost…)”
Seeing Ye Cang laying his head to Xinxue’ face, the boss turned around and left the laboratory, feeling disgusted .
Streams of tears rolled down Ye Cang’s cheek as Xinxue bit his neck . Despite so, he was caressing her hair gently, walking down the memory lane, back to the rainy night . He then started to tell the woman whose mouth was filled with blood about the recent situation . “Do you know? A’Xiong has grown up a lot . He is quite manly now . If you get to see him, you would be glad . Oh, and Lele . You definitely don’t who he is . He is A’Xiong’s and my good brother even though he is a little retard…”

Feeling that the zombification was getting serious, Ye Cang sobbed . “I’m sorry . I’m sorry, Xinxue . I didn’t keep my promise again . I disrespected your corpse…”
Ye Cang broke into tears, crying so hard like a child . His love would be taken away when he truly woke up . He was the only one who could feel the pain from his bond with Xinxue and not anyone else . That gap between them was once again widened . He could not bury the person he most loved by himself . He just could not do it . Staring at his sweetheart who was biting and tearing his flesh madly, he lifted up his shaking hands and pierced right into her chest . Emotionally, he looked into that pair of red eyes . “This . . . this is . . . the last goodbye . I would keep my promise from now onwards, Xue…”
Streams of black blood flowed out of the tank like a rapid river .
A loud cry was heard .
“This is the most stubborn and craziest person I’ve ever met,” the boss sighed . Moments later, Ye Cang, covered in black blood, walked out of the lab, carrying the woman . “Are you still going to continue?”
Ye Cang shook his head . “No . This time, I would bury her myself . I wouldn’t break my promise again…”
Ye Cang then left the laboratory . The boss stared at the empty room which was made solely for him . “Mankind is the craziest living thing ever and it is all because of love . Despite knowing it’s impossible, they still want to try . This would only torture themselves . ”
Thinking about it, he took out a photo from his wallet . It was a photo of a girl sucking a pacifier . “It’s the same for me . For the one we loved, we would do anything . I’d done even crazier and dirtier things in the past . . . but as long as you’re clean, Lil’Love . ”
Lin Hai . East District . Moon’s Soul Graveyard .
Staring at the grave he carved long ago, Ye Cang quietly laid the corpse down . Under the moonlight, Ye Cang seemed older but relieved yet reluctant . He still could not bring himself to cover her face with the last pile of mud .

“Brother…”
Upon hearing Zhang Zhengxiong’s voice, Ye Cang smiled bitterly . “You knew it . ”
“I knew it long ago that this grave is empty . ” Zhang Zhengxiong walked towards the grave and looked at the familiar face .
“Do you hate me?” Ye Cang lowered his head with much guilt .
“What you did . Is it useful? You’re my one and only family member left . Sister has started her new life and you should too . ” Zhang Zhengxiong squatted down and touched the cold face of her sister . He closed his watery eyes and pushed the last pile of mud .
Ye Cang reached out his hand, wanting to remove the mud but he could not after all .
Zhang Zhengxiong hugged Ye Cang tightly . “Stop it . I beg you, brother…”
“I’m sorry, A’Xiong . . . I…”
Zhang Zhengxiong tightened his hug . Ye Cang decided to remain silent, quietly feeling Zhang Zhengxiong’s shiver . Maybe, I’m not that mature as him .
The next day .
Wu Na saw a smile on Ye Cang’s face as he was making breakfast in the kitchen . It’s the first time I see him smile . At least I don’t feel so distant now . “Can you not use tofu and chocolate as the sauce of a fried egg?”
“What is this?”
“The sauce made out of all kinds of fish organs . ”
“You’ve finally brought in your skills from the game?’
“Go away . Go away . I’ll do the job . Don’t dirty my kitchen . ”
“You’re just jealous of my cooking . ”
“ . . . . . . ”
“I think you can accompany them for their morning training . ”
Frustratedly, Ye Cang came to the beach . Little Ye Tian who was drinking hot soy milk saw him and felt that her father seemed different but could not tell why . She then felt a pain as she reached out to grab a bun .
“The golden mushroom meat is mine!” Lin Le snatched the bun, stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it . He then arrogantly walked away and continued his battle with Zhang Zhengxiong .
“When will he stop being a bully?! Damn Lele!” Little Ye Tian ground her teeth, took the normal mushroom bun and ate it .
