I stared at him: “You actually use such methods?” It was surprising that the famous Cold Family Fortress resorted to such tactics. Aren’t heroes supposed to be upright and honorable?
As if reading my thoughts, the leader sneered: “Cold Family Fortress rose to power across both black and white worlds in just over a decade. The Flower Sect Master is still too naive.”
Before he could finish, I narrowed my eyes and struck, each move ruthless. I had to act quickly or face unbearable consequences.
I felt like I was going crazy, my pupils dilating. I grabbed my face, my nails digging into my cheeks, drawing blood.
Blood droplets burst out, making the world completely insane. Chaos, chaos, chaos. When I came to, I met Taibai’s worried gaze.
“Taibai!” I saw hope, gripping his shoulders tightly, afraid he would disappear, “Save him, please save him! I beg you!”
“He—this is karma and reincarnation,” Taibai hesitated.
“What do you mean?” My blood ran cold. No, impossible! Taibai is an immortal; how could there be someone an immortal can’t save?
“This is what he owed you in his previous life…” Taibai’s words left me stunned. “You know this is not a parallel space; otherwise, Shi Ran from your era would not have been born here over 200 years ago… In his previous life, he abandoned you, trampled on true feelings; in this life, he is here to repay his debt, loving but unable to obtain.”
I stared blankly at Meng Yu on the ground. I collapsed in despair. Past life and present life…

My darlings, what do you prefer? Being a ghost, being resurrected, or just dying? Speak quickly; tomorrow’s chapter is waiting to be written… The rest is coming soon… Hehe
【069】 Family Reunion “What about the next life?” I spoke softly, not daring to look up. “Cause in the previous life, effect in this life, next life…
Five hundred glances in the previous life, exchanged for passing by in this life,” Taibai hesitated. I fell back to the ground, blood soaking my pink dress. Taibai’s meaning was clear: cause in the previous life, effect in this life; karma repaid.
Even if passing by, deep feelings linger in the heart, and ultimately result in lost love. How can we forget the promises of eternal love in the past life? In the end, everything turns to dust before Buddha.
“Grieve,” Taibai said gently.
“What if I only want this life?” I looked at him tearfully. I can’t say I love Meng Yu, but I no longer hate him. His deep feelings—how many would not be moved! I am heartbroken. From the moment he wiped away my tears, I think I love him. Not about past lives, just this life.
Taibai glanced at me: “Exchange it with the next reincarnation?”
“What do you mean?” I stared at him.
“Everyone has a life pattern. Your life pattern is twelve reincarnations, with only one to accompany you, one being empty.”
“You mean—this life is the empty one?” I asked, surprised.
“Empty means illusion, ever-changing. This life has no predetermined trajectory. You might meet one person, or ten, or no one at all.”
But interestingly, in this life, you’ve met them all at once,” Taibai stroked his chin, affecting profundity.
“So you mean—using the empty encounter in the next reincarnation to make up for this life?” I looked at Meng Yu on the ground. This means I definitely won’t meet him in the next reincarnation.
Calculating quickly, the next life might have a 50% chance of meeting him. Exchanging this for a 100% certainty in this life—the choice is obvious.
“Deal!” I slapped my thigh, startling Taibai.
Wrinkling his nose, Taibai suddenly looked aggrieved: “Then I’ll have to treat the King of Hell to a meal…”
“Going or not?” I glared at him. Thoughts of resurrection lifted my mood.
“Going… going…” Taibai wilted, mumbling and disappearing. I thought I heard him mutter: About to be taken advantage of by that lecher again…
So the King of Hell secretly loves Taibai… What kind of heavenly realm is this!
The Guowang Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festive colors, looking brand new. The tall walls enclosed red bricks and green tiles, with multiple buildings where laughter and voices drifted out.
The carriage could no longer pass through and could only wait, watching other carriages unload gifts one by one. After half a shichen, I couldn’t stand it anymore and suggested, “Let’s climb over the wall!”
Surprisingly, Xiaozi, usually mischievous, became shy: “Is that really appropriate…” Wuchen agreed: “What if my father-in-law sees us?” This comment stumped everyone, and the wall-climbing group hesitated.
How annoying! Which is more important, my wife or my father-in-law? I decided to climb the wall myself!
Climbing is nothing for an expert like me! I’ll do a 720-degree rotation wall climb!
Bang!
The beautiful men outside heard a sound and then nothing more. They panicked, quickly climbing over the wall. Those who couldn’t climb were left frustrated.
The most pitiful was Xiaozi, who forgot he couldn’t do martial arts. He jumped, grabbed the wall top but couldn’t go further and just hung there.
Only Wuchen, Yiqing, and Mu Jiyu were left standing there.
Finally, Mu Jiyu waved his hand: “Why is everyone so impatient?” He helped Xiaozi down and led them through the back door.
Now, about me.
There was no expected pain, just a warm, soft feeling mixed with heavy breathing. I knew the situation: I’d had an accident—I crashed into someone!
Opening one eye, I saw a figure in purple splendid clothes with a light white gauze overlay, smooth black hair, long fluttering eyelashes, and a face contorted in pain. Is this lady really so fragile?!
Honestly, I’m not fat. In ancient times without scales, I once weighed myself using Cao Chong’s method and was only 90 jin. Was this reaction necessary? Okay, I admit my wall-climbing might have had a “little” impact, definitely not exceeding 1 ton of force. Was this reaction really needed? Hmph, so delicate!
With these thoughts, my guilt dropped, and I was about to stand up and walk away when my foot was grabbed.
Turning back in confusion, I met a pair of gentle yet determined eyes. He said, “Apologize,” with a voice as outstanding as his appearance.
Ignoring his brilliance, I rudely made a face and kicked his hand away, running immediately.
After a while, I realized he was talking about me. I quickly wagged like a puppy and offered tea: “Daddy, see how awesome your Zero is? The most outstanding men in the world are all here! Hehe!
“These beautiful men are rare talents. Getting one is not easy, let alone snatching so many at once. Wow, his daughter has such great ability; he should be happy!
Father gave me a sideways glance and nodded to Mu Jiyu: “Mu…” drawing out the name.
Frustrated, I rushed up to Mu Jiyu: “Go away, this doesn’t concern you! Why are you butting in?”
Mu Jiyu ignored me: “Greetings, Uncle Shi. I’ve come to propose an alliance. If Uncle Shi doesn’t mind…”
What? An alliance? Could he be trying to marry his sister to our father? I object!
“I object!” I jumped in.
“Marriage is decided by parents. What are you objecting to?” Our father said, invoking feudal rules to suppress me.
“Thank you, father-in-law. One day, I will send someone to propose marriage.” Mu Jiyu gave me a provocative look and smiled at the other beautiful men.
“What? You and me?” I blinked. “But we have no feelings—”
“We can cultivate them.”
Is this even possible? Dejected, I walked to Yi Qing’s side and nudged him: “Hey, even those who met me at the same time have admitted to liking me.”
Why don’t you have any feelings for me?” Among all the beautiful men, only Yi Qing, who hasn’t recovered his memories, is hot and cold towards me.
