Chapter 118 - Dongxue's Heart (2)

"The reason why I have brought you here is to remind you of your feelings, but I guess that was pointless since you have move past those days it seems... anyways, with my little threat back when I was younger and the future I showed you, you probably surmised that separating with Qingyue is the worst possible option for her, do you not?" Yun Long with a smile

Dongxue just looked at her smiling Son-in-Law that was full of tender pity? It made her feel a little odd seeing it from a child but she shrugged it off and thought about his question.

'Even if I was to just remove my 'feelings' on the matter, if Wuya never met me then he may have found a better empress, one that didn't need to be sheltered and protected, he would have never been humiliated as a cu… and he may have never died in the future…'

'It is better for us both to be separated and find our new paths in life...'

Yun Long who understood her thoughts just spoke lightly once more "Listen mother, your thoughts are exactly true…"

Dongxue who heard his comments just looked at him a little upset, after all was Yun Long not being a little insensitive?

He continued even with the current silly face his mother had "However that would be regarding the Yue Wugou in the alternate reality… with my existence, you have actually changed his fate, because he would have died regardless of your existence in that reality, but now I am planning to save Yue Wuya from his inevitable fate..."

'Well not the c*ckold one since that one has already past, but I the type of saving is not really one that would be considered saving...' he thought in the back of his mind.

Hearing him Dongxue smiled slightly, even if she did not love him, the young Yue Wugou within her would rather see Wuya live healthily than the die with regrets as he did previously.

One thing she was confident in was that she was probably the only person who knew his true capabilities in this world (You are not even close my dear…), and whenever her cheeky Son-in-Law spoke about topics or instructed her to act in a certain situation she always did, because it really did seem as if everything was under his control.

Without being able to control her patience, she quickly went over to Yun Long and held his shoulders as she asked with a slight irritation in her voice.

"Long'er, stop being so mysterious and tell mother your plan already, your poor mother will not be able to handle the pressure if you keep hiding it from me…" she asked whilst looking into his eyes with a look that said 'Just tell me your plans, I will follow them my dear'.

"Before we start mother, since you have chosen to move on from Yue Wuya, what will become of your relationship of Yuanba and Father-in-Law?" he asked not looking at her since he was not one to get in emotional talk…

No, it was more like Yun Long have never even bothered to have such conversations in his last life… thinking of this Yun Long made a mental note that he had to fix this annoying part of himself.

Dongxue heard his question and just paused, she did not understand what he meant by that question since nothing should change much from it?

'Long'er has changed all of that, so now I have no real reason to return to Wuya, especially if it meant I had to abandon my children just for Wuya, that just does not sit right with me… especially since he clearly showed my worth in his heart...' Dongxue thought with a frown on her face.

Yun Long understood his wording was a little off and asked her another question "Mother, since you no longer wish to ȧssociate with Yue Wuya, does that mean that you are accepting Hongyi? Or am I just confused over here?"

Dongxue just replied quietly "How can I say this Long'er... the Dongxue within me would have love for Xia Hongyi, yet the Yue Wugou within me holds resentment to him for taking advantage of my weakened state to sully me and tie me forever to him... So you can say the current me is a balance of those two personalities, and so I can only say I will live with him for the sake of our family, maintaining a friendly relation, this is something I have already discussed with him my dear..."

Yun Long felt that he was stupid not to realise this faster, of course with two personalities one's character will be affected, whether one personality wins over the other, they merge to form a new one or the person ends up insane from the conflicting thoughts like an angel and devil arguing on your shoulders.

"Mother, in a mortal world there are a lot of people who abandon their children, in fact it is a common occurrence…" Yun Long started talking about his experience in his English childhood where many of his friends were lacking a parent or both, usually the father though…

"In that world there were many who had harmonious relationships just because of their children, if you want to hear my opinion about the path you choose, over these next few years I want you think over the relationship you wish to have with your new family, after all you know that Uncle Xia would accept whatever decision you make, even if his heart wishes for you to something else" he said whilst looking at the figure of Yue Wuya.

'I have to admit, Yue Wuya is truly a great man… although in my mortal perspective a cultivator's mindset regarding a woman who lost his vɨrġɨnɨtƴ is a little odd, which makes it even greater for a respected Moon God Divine Emperor to still be able to accept this woman after what had happened to her…'

'Truly a great man… although I will not trust him fully in the future, out of respect for his sacrifice in the future I will allow some of the happiness you so truly wanted, Yue Wuya'

Yun Long thought whilst staring into the open eyes of Yue Wuya who was looking towards the space where Vimana: Ark was currently hovering.

Yue Wuya felt an odd feeling from the direction he was looking towards, thinking it was just a misconception he just carried on meditating in the moonlight…

"Long'er, what do you think mother should do?" Dongxue interrupted Yun Long's internal monologue.

"Mother, who holds the highest position in your heart if you had to say? Excluding your children and of course me…" Yun Long decided to tease her to ease her ability to respond honestly.

"If we were to take my feelings at face value... I would still say the person who I 'Love' the most is Wuya, my dear… after all you should be most aware of this" she replied remembering a little what he said when he prevented her leaving nearly a decade ago.

Of course Yun Long was most aware of this… after all in the original timeline, Yue Wugou had committed suicide right after Yue Wuya die.

Even if she was about to die because of her illness, she did not even bother going back to Hongyi and Yuanba one last time… currently he will give her the benefit of the doubt since the current Dongxue was completely different to the Yue Wugou that was recorded…
