Oh my god, the jump is too big! Looking at the Life Stone glowing white on the Sun's forehead, sigh, Light Stone is really too indulgent with the Sun...
The Sun, who was just wandering around at the warrior level, has suddenly jumped to High-ranking Dark Saint. What does this even mean?!
It's simply against all odds!
However, this is not the time to be happy; there is a problem that cannot be ignored, one that could be fatal.
The Sun's Soul Energy was previously too weak, and his inner core was far from strong enough. Absorbing all the energy from the Light Stone at once has increased his Soul Energy, but the foundation remains unstable.
I'm afraid that what the Time Stone brings may not be entirely good.
"Sun, can your body handle this?"
"Xi Meng, I know what you're worried about. I'm fine; my body has never felt this comfortable before. It's like finally finding an exit, and all the invisible pressure has poured out." The Sun replied with a smile, transforming back into human form as he spoke.
I stared blankly at the Sun after he transformed back into human form. He still had that bright youthful face, but it was warm enough to make it hard to look away. There seemed to be no changes, yet there was an indescribable oddness.
"Are you really okay?" I confirmed again while looking at the Life Stone on the Sun's forehead.
"Actually, I have been diligently cultivating before. No matter how hard I tried, my Soul Energy just didn't improve. Many times I wanted to give up, but for our ancestors and my clan, I had to keep going."
"That's right! Our Young Master is definitely not as useless as rumored outside. In fact, Young Master has never stopped moving forward. If it weren't for our Young Master being born without a heart and unable to control Soul Energy, he would have already become a top-tier powerhouse!" The elder praised the Sun with tears in his eyes, filled with immense pride.
"It’s not as exaggerated as what Wind Elder said. I did think about giving up, so I pretended to be indifferent in front of others. But I firmly believe that if I make a breakthrough, I will definitely show them what I’m capable of!"
"Sun, I still hope you can use the Light Stone to pursue justice. The past is already behind us; we all need to learn to let go and look forward," I said softly.
Sun's Soul Energy had risen to High-ranking Dark Saint in the blink of an eye, which was quite high even in the Underworld, and his future development should not be underestimated. If he harbored resentment, many races would likely suffer in the future. Although the principle of survival in the Underworld is to prey on the weak, I did not want that bright young boy from before to be blinded by temporary glory and become a tool for revenge.
"Xi Meng, have you forgotten? I am Sun," he said with a radiant smile.
At that moment, I truly felt that this boy before me radiated the same brilliance as the Sun in the human world.
"Xi Meng—" Sun gently called my name.
"Yes?" I was deeply entranced by his warm, sunny smile.
"You said... now that I've become so handsome, will Xiaopu fall in love with me?!"
...Although Sun's Soul Energy was surging, my doubts about his Intelligence remained.
Seeing my expression stiffen, Sun glanced around at the members of the Wind Steed Clan and nodded as if he understood something. He said, "You all can leave."
"Young Master—"
The elder seemed to want to say something more, but Sun showed no intention of letting him speak and quickly added, "Wind Elder, I'll come find you later so we can discuss it in detail. Right now, I need to talk to Xi Meng about something important."
With that, he took my arm and led me deeper into the grass.
“Xi Meng, let me ask you, who is that cold-faced person next to Xiaopu?” Taiyang asked anxiously, showing no sign of stopping.
“Cold face? Are you talking about Chiba?” I inquired.
“So that's Chiba. Hmph, always sticking close to Xiaopu, clearly has ulterior motives!” Taiyang finally released my arm and huffed as he stood there with his hands on his hips.
“Don't overthink it. We are all partners and will need to act together moving forward. He and Xiaopu have only known each other for a short time,” I advised, starting to understand that Taiyang was feeling jealous.
Wait a minute, I paused, suddenly surprised as I retorted, “Taiyang, you've never even met Chiba, how do you know about him?!”
That's right, Taiyang and I had just met for the first time; he had no chance to meet Chiba, who wasn't in the same group as Xiaopu and us.
“I can see into people's hearts, especially the one who matters most…” Taiyang's voice trailed off as he lowered his gaze, his long eyelashes casting a shadow that made this sunny boy appear somewhat gloomy.
“You mean you can see who is most important to everyone?”
“Exactly. Xiaopu doesn’t care about me.”
Regardless of what was going on between Xiaopu and Taiyang, if what Taiyang said was true, then Xiaopu actually had feelings for Chiba! This cannot be! It would inevitably lead to another tragedy; I absolutely cannot let Xiaopu follow the same path as me.
Because I don't know how I would feel on the day I lose Silver Moon…
“Taiyang, I don't care who Xiaopu likes anymore, but you need to remember what I said—think carefully! Our chances of survival in the final battle are very slim, and we must all be prepared for the possibility of sacrifice at any time. Too many partners have already left me on this journey, so I don’t want you to create difficulties for yourselves.”
Before it even started, a love triangle emerged, which would inevitably affect the relationship between Sun and Chiba. How could they summon the Lord of the Three Realms to defeat Siyimo with such discord in their hearts?
"Don't worry, Xi Meng. I know what I'm doing. Even if Xiaopu really likes someone named Chiba, I will compete with him fairly," Sun said seriously as he looked at me.
I frowned, unsure of what to say. Seeing Sun display such a serious expression for the first time made it difficult for me to dampen his spirits. In fact, I had noticed some changes in Xiaopu during our journey; I just felt that Chiba wouldn't develop feelings. Xiaopu's feelings for Chiba were more about pity—perhaps due to similar experiences and the invisible pressure that made her particularly concerned about him. But that wasn't love, and it would pass quickly. I never expected someone like Sun to appear.
"Sun, what exactly happened between you and Xiaopu?" I asked.
This was something I had always been curious about. Even without a heart, how could he still develop feelings for Xiaopu?
Sun's lips curled slightly as if recalling the past, and he slowly began to speak. "The first time I saw her, I felt like we must have met in a past life and loved each other."
Sweat—so much sweat. I couldn't believe Sun would say something so cliché.
Looking at Sun, who was lost in thought, I truly had no words.
"The first time we met was in Beast Forest. At that time, cough cough, I got separated from my group," Sun said awkwardly as he smiled at me.
"I think they were afraid of being dragged down by you and left you behind," I replied.
"Hey, listen to me," Sun pouted.
"Alright, go ahead. I won't interrupt," I said helplessly.
"At that time, I had also sustained some minor injuries, and no one came looking for me or helped me." As he said this, Sun gave a sarcastic smile.
"Xiaopu They all ignored me as they passed by... Only later did Xiaopu come back alone to heal my wounds, and it was with her that I finally left Beast Forest."
...I knew it. This carefree person must have some special experiences; it's such a cliché, I shouldn't have listened to him.
"Is this why you like Xiaopu? Now you act like you're devoted to her for life?!" It's not that I look down on his love; it's just too reckless.
The sun turned to me, his eyes suddenly shining sharply, revealing an extremely complex expression.
I was taken aback. This boy, who always seemed so innocent and pure in my eyes... I suddenly realized that I didn't understand him at all.
How could someone who smiles while bleeding inside be simple?
No, the sun must be hiding something from me.
"Of course not—" The sun turned away, lightly twirling a leaf with his right hand as he spoke softly.
"She is the woman destined to be in my life; I cannot give her up."
His firm tone declared his ownership of Xiaopu.
I couldn't help but recall what the sun had said before—that they had met in a past life. Suddenly, his words didn't seem like a joke anymore.
Just as I was trying to connect the dots but couldn't find the reason—
"Young Master!" It was the old man, who had followed us again.
"Let's go, Wind Elder. We just finished our conversation," the Sun said, returning to his silly grin and happily following the old man away.
...
Ever since I talked to the Sun, I couldn't stop thinking about the countless possibilities between Xiaopu and him.
Don't think I'm being boring; there must be some secret about the Sun, and it's very important.
If he doesn't tell me, does that mean he still doesn't trust me?
"Xi Meng!" Xiaopu suddenly called out from behind me.
I was stunned for a long time before I responded, "Xiaopu, what's up?"
"I'm fine. I just saw you looking so distracted. What's wrong with you?" Xiaopu tilted his head to look at me.
Chiba, who was meditating nearby, also opened his eyes, seemingly curious about the situation.
"I'm fine—" I said, sounding a bit forced.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't tell me?" Xiaopu pouted, looking displeased.
"Can you answer one question for me first?" I asked.
"Sure, go ahead," Xiaopu said as he sat next to me, casually resting his chin on his hand.
"How did you meet the Sun?"
Xiaopu immediately showed a look of disdain and said unhappily, "Why are you asking him that?"
Actually, I had already explained to Xiaopu why the Sun was like that, recounting everything that happened after she left that day, except for the part where I talked privately with the Sun. But Xiaopu just kept misunderstanding him, having made up her mind beforehand and refusing to listen.
I felt that Xiaopu fundamentally rejected the Sun; she simply did not like him at all, and the Sun's affection only made Xiaopu feel more uncomfortable.
"Go on, tell me," I said in a rare pleading tone.
"Well, there's not much to say. I saved him once in Beast Forest, and after that, he started clinging to me. Hmph, if I had known back then, I wouldn't have gotten involved," Xiaopu said dismissively.
"That's it? Nothing else?"
"Yeah, that's it. The next time we met was at the academy. I found him annoying and hardly said anything to him except to tell him to get lost."
Xiaopu's description of her interactions with the Sun was quite similar to what he had said. So where exactly was the problem?
