Xing Yuan knew the essence of storytelling, paused, and continued, "Fortunately, my father's combat power was very high at the time, so he was able to escape. But from then on, he never saw my mother again.
Some said she abandoned us, some said she was forced to betray us, and some said she sought wealth and status.
But no matter what the rumors were, Father didn't believe them. He just stubbornly guarded that sea. Whenever the day he and his mother had agreed upon arrived, he would go to see. Only after a hundred years, when he was certain he could no longer see his mother, did he stop leaving the deep sea.
During that time, I also saw him very little. Our merfolk have a long growth cycle, but we merfolk are very loyal to our mates.
Although I initially had ulterior motives when I got together with you, from the moment I chose you, I will have no other partner in this life, even if we never have the chance to see each other again."
"So, since my sister has become this way, can you give me a chance, a chance to be with you? Besides you, there will be no one else."
Ming Yue looked at Xing Yuan's sincere eyes, thought about her own situation, and nodded gently. She had always been strict with herself, but since her heart was already lost, she would indulge herself and be reckless for once!
Moreover, she could clearly feel that she might not be able to leave him anymore.
The reason Ming Yue transformed into a vengeful spirit was because she had personally killed someone. However, she had only killed the "murderer."
What happened back then was an accident, but not entirely. Why would she inexplicably go to such a remote place? Thinking about it carefully, it was more like a meticulously planned accident.
She was no stranger to the tactic of using a borrowed knife to kill.
However, she didn't think the people from the Ming family had the brains for it. Besides, at least Ming Kun didn't know he was dead, otherwise, he wouldn't be looking for a dead person like her for inheritance.
Although she had always kept a low profile, she had indeed unintentionally offended someone!
A undisguised killing intent flickered in Ming Yue's eyes. Although she no longer cared about her life before death, having an unavenged grievance was not conducive to her becoming stronger.
The outside world had changed drastically. Recently, spiritual energy had been recovering at an extremely rapid pace. Countless non-human phenomena and inexplicably gained powers had driven everyone mad.
In just about a year, the entire country's order had descended into chaos. Some people, relying on their newfound strength, assassinated heads of state. Without any defense, they had actually succeeded.
However, the state apparatus still held the majority of power, with the addition of some alliances.
Perhaps such civilian organizations had existed in this world before. Now, with the awakening of powers, these organizations had gathered many powerful beings.
For example, the Celestial Master Alliance, the Dragon Slaying Alliance, the Demon Exterminator Alliance...
Although some creatures might not have existed in this world, their formation of these alliances might not necessarily be for doing good deeds. Perhaps it was for their own selfish desires.
The two did not voice their opinions on this matter. Xing Yuan, however, felt a slight headache. One of the prerequisites for the world's advancement was that it could maintain relative peace, but judging by the current situation, that seemed unlikely.
If these forces were allowed to develop freely, this world would eventually regress under their excessively powerful forces until this land could no longer bear such immense power.
Xing Yuan changed into a different set of clothes but felt a bit awkward. Having grown accustomed to the merfolk's fashion style, it was normal to feel unaccustomed to returning to her original attire.
"Does Sister want to go home and take a look?" Xing Yuan blinked and enthusiastically hugged Ming Yue's arm.
Ming Yue shook her head, "I have no connection with them anymore. However, the things I need to do require some help."
Finding a person in the vast sea of people was difficult, but finding a ghost was easy.
Nowadays, ghosts were having a very difficult time. There were too many people with powers, whether good or bad, and they were inevitably hunted by everyone.
They had become like honorary medals for those people. After all, their strength was much weaker than those exotic beasts, making them easy targets. Even if they banded together for warmth, they could only survive for a while under the围剿 (wéi jiǎo - encirclement and suppression) of those people.
More importantly, since the spiritual energy had revived, it seemed that all the dead people had lost their chance at reincarnation. They could only drift in this world as ghosts, helplessly, while also having to guard against malevolent spirits that devoured their souls. Their lives were extremely miserable.
Because they were both ghosts, Ming Yue could clearly sense their locations. She then went to find them, beat them up one by one, and took them as her subordinates.
But it wasn't enough. Ming Yue began to search for ghosts everywhere, beating them up. If she could subdue them, she would. If she couldn't, she would directly eliminate them.
Her strength was immense. At least, in this world, she had no equal. Coupled with Xing Yuan, who was like a cheat code, following her, it would be her fault if she lost.
In just a few months, she had subdued ghosts of all sizes in a city, and even many ghosts had traveled from afar to join her.
She accepted everyone and gave them her first command: find someone!
Xing Yuan leaned over to look at the person Ming Yue wanted to find and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was a man, and he looked arrogant, as if he looked down on everyone with his nostrils. He clearly wasn't a good person, and certainly not Ming Yue's type.
But Xing Yuan still asked, "Sister, who is this? Is he your ex?"
"No!" Ming Yue shook her head, obvious anger in her eyes. "He is my enemy."
"Hmm? Enemy?" Xing Yuan pondered.
Looking at him objectively, this person seemed to have some good looks. Could it be that this world also had a male and female protagonist?
Xing Yuan was shocked and the next second went to question the Heavenly Dao.
Emmm...
As she had suspected, this world actually had a male and female protagonist!
However, this male and female protagonist seemed to have encountered a bug or something. Originally, the female lead was supposed to save the male lead, but it turned out to be the male lead being deeply infatuated with the female lead, while the female lead completely ignored him.
He was a domineering CEO type, and she was a pure white lotus that emerged from the mud unstained. He chased, she fled, and finally, the domineering CEO cried on the ground, and she disappeared from his world.
Xing Yuan: Gag! →_→
He was simply a narcissistic male lead who was completely insane!
But the key was that this memory contained scenes of her sister. She had inadvertently helped the white lotus escape the male lead's pursuit and encirclement, and was immediately targeted.
Domineering CEO male lead: "This person dared to touch his woman, death is deserved!"
Heh!
She wanted to cut him into eight pieces! Feed them to the fish.
Anything less than eight pieces would be disrespectful to her fellow fish.
