“If your mother had not given birth to you back then, she could very well have the chance to live. But because of you, a person of misfortune, she died out of sheer exhaustion!”

“You should not have lived.”

“”You’re damned. You should have been the one to die!”

“Why don’t you just die already? If you died, then all those things would not have happened.”

“Just die now. Once you’re dead, everything will revert back to the way it was, and your parents would still be living well and good.”

“Die already, just die.....”

Lou Jun Yao’s fists turned white at the knuckles, and cold sweat broke over his brow as the voices beside his ears droned on, telling him of all his crimes.

It felt as if his existence was really detestable and abhorrent.

And every single one of those voices sounded so highly familiar, as they were all his own voice.

Would it really be better if he was dead? Is his existence itself really just a mistake?

Is it true that once he dies, all of that would not have happened?

Then.....

His tightly clenched fists suddenly relaxed. His body was tightly tensed up and it seemed like his heart was undergoing an immense struggle, causing him to rock a little unsteadily for a moment.

“Ah Yao, I need you.”

The gentle voice of a young lady suddenly sounded softly by his ear.

Among the other countless number of berating voices, that one voice stood out clearly.

Lou Jun Yao’s body jerked in startlement, his eyes suddenly wide open.

He saw a tall slender young woman standing before him, dressed in pristine white clothes, a gentle smile on her beautiful and exquisite countenance as she looked at him tenderly.

Lou Jun Yao was a little puzzled as he looked at the young lady in front of him. “Little fox.....”

How did she..... come to appear here all of a sudden?

Hasn’t she been captured? And according to the Dark Phantasm Cat, she wasn’t able to move about freely, so how could she possibly appear right before him here?

Could this possibly just be a hallucination from his imagination because he missed her too much?

“Ah Yao, I’ve finally found you.” The young lady’s beautiful phoenix like eyes seemed to be glistening with crystalline tears, looking exceptionally pitiful and endearing.

She slowly took a few steps closer, and then leaned into the man’s arms seeking comfort, her slender arms wrapping tightly around his waist.

Lou Jun Yao’s body stiffened up. It was not a hallucination.

The touch was real and solid, and even the faint fragrance of herbs her body exuded was exactly the same. Is it..... really Qing Yu?

But..... When had she ever shown such a weak and fragile side of herself to him before?

Like she was seeking for a man’s protection, looking so much like a weak and utterly helpless woman.
