Chapter 648: The Experiences of the Last Life
From Xu Hongyi’s perspective, the story actually goes like this.
After being kicked out of the Abyss Realm by Young Master Sang, Xu Hongyi fell into extreme nihilism out of total despair.
Who am I?
What am I doing?
Why is it so hard to chase after a man?
Aren’t Primordial Deities allowed to date?
However, after some time of adjusting her mindset, Xu Hongyi began reviewing the game analysis.
…Young Master Sang was always emphasizing that humans and Primordial Deities shouldn’t date.
Although she couldn’t understand the reason, since he said so, she would follow his line of thought.
Now, there were two ways to go about it.
The first was to turn him back into a Primordial Deity. This method required her to find his sealed memories and awaken all of his omniscient powers.
So, she tried every possible way to enter the realm of the First Deity/Demon, searching his cave for clues about his sealed memories.
Then, she received that letter.
The letter directly told Xu Hongyi that his memories were never sealed, so she shouldn’t hold onto false hopes.
Thus, the first path was severed.
Fortunately, the First Deity/Demon pointed out a second path in the letter.
After spending seven whole days and nights reading the First Deity’s self-help guide word by word, Xu Hongyi felt the pain and practiced her acting skills daily, just waiting for Young Master Sang to come find her.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before Young Master Sang brought Little Ying You before her.
With full preparation, Xu Hongyi put on a heartfelt and emotionally charged performance, accompanied by a tearful smile, achieving great success and immediately explaining the cause and effect.
And this recreation was quite meticulous.
Why could both Young Master Sang and Xu Hongyi still remember each other even after recreating the cause and effect?
The answer was Little Ying You.
“After all causes and effects were restored, the lines of cause and effect between me and everyone else faded away.”
Xu Hongyi said grudgingly, “But Little Ying You still holds a small part of my Primordial Spirit.”
“When restoring cause and effect, I simultaneously replaced the Primordial Spirit within Little Ying You. And in that part of the Primordial Spirit, there’s not only my cause, but also Little Ying You’s.”
“That’s why, although I forgot all about everyone after restoring the cause and effect, through Little Ying You’s connection, I can still remember Young Master Sang and all of you.”
“For a Primordial Deity, as long as there’s this one connection, it’s not difficult to rediscover the lost causes and effects.”
Everyone was left in a fog.
But then again, the matters of the Primordial Deity didn’t really need to be crystal clear. As long as they said it could be done, it could be done.
Yan Rouwan appeared lost in thought: “No wonder Little Ying You’s connection couldn’t find you, only the chaotic Primordial energy.”
“Then why did you turn into lingerie?” Nian Nian continued asking.
“This…”
Xu Hongyi stammered for a long time, finally lowering her head silently: “…Can I say it’s a personal hobby? Would you believe that?”
Nian Nian: “…”
Unexpectedly at a loss for words.
“So that means,” Zhang Xiaoying suddenly said from the side, “the Primordial Spirit within Little Ying You has already been restored? So it’s not like you possessed her or anything?”
Xu Hongyi also looked at her in confusion: “Possessed her? Possessed her for what?”
Zhang Xiaoying fell silent.
Could it be that she was just being too sensitive?
“But we do feel that Little Ying You has been acting strangely lately.” Si Jingzhu couldn’t help but mumble, “Her words and actions feel a bit tea-like, as if she’s playing a role—”
“That.”
Suddenly, Bai Ming, who had been silent the whole time, raised her hand and timidly spoke up.
“About this.”
“I received a video from Young Master Sang of Little Ying You dancing in a home party today; both of them were in cosplay.”
“If I’m not mistaken… the character Little Ying You cosplayed is the second female lead from my latest series.”
“The character design…”
“…is a classic green tea white lotus!”
All eyes turned to her.
Bai Ming couldn’t help but shrink her head in guilt: “I-I didn’t know Little Ying You would watch; my works are aimed at adults.”
“I guess… I’ll go back to the commerce guild and add a rating system and anti-addiction measures for minors, okay?”
Zhang Xiaoying’s expression was complicated as she fell silent for a long time, ultimately letting out a long sigh.
“…Finally, the truth is out.”
Although it differed somewhat from her imagination, at least the ending was good.
The piece that had long been stuck in her heart could finally be put to rest.
“What about you? What are your plans next?”
“I’ll say it clear.” Zhang Xiaoying warned, “No more possessing lingerie.”
Xu Hongyi hesitated for a moment and whispered, “What about panties—”
“Panties are also off-limits!”
“…Oh.”
“If you don’t know where to go next, just stay at the Sang residence for now.” Zhang Xiaoying said softly, “Your husband has been looking for you for so long; you should at least meet him.”
Mentioning this matter, Xu Hongyi’s expression became inexplicably tense: “D-Do I have to meet him now? I’m not prepared at all.”
“Uh, what do you need to prepare to meet your husband?”
“The letter said that when we meet again, I should choose an appropriate time and prepare a romantic setting.” Xu Hongyi recounted word for word, “He needs to feel a sense of regaining the lost, and only then will he magnify that feeling into goodwill.”
“But right now, I haven’t had the chance to prepare the reunion script, nor do I know how he’s feeling. Meeting so hastily, I’m afraid he’ll not only not be touched but will also blame me for deceiving him…”
The more she spoke, the smaller Xu Hongyi’s voice became, and she felt increasingly aggrieved.
“Well, you have to accept it.”
Zhang Xiaoying put her hands on her hips seriously: “After all, the fact is that you really did trick us all pretty badly.”
“But how to deal with you depends on what your husband says when he comes back.”
“Aunt Yu, prepare a room for her.”
Master Yu Xia nodded in agreement and took Xu Hongyi away from the room.
“Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Disperse now and go have a good rest.”
Once most of the people had left, Yan Rouwan and Nian Nian were about to leave as well when they heard Zhang Xiaoying suddenly call out to them.
“I have one more thing to confirm.”
“That Wheel of Time… can it really see everything from the past to the future?”
“In theory, yes.” Yan Rouwan blinked, “Unless interfered with by other Primordial Deities or rules, otherwise, anything you wish to see, I should be able to show you now.”
“What’s wrong? What do you want to see?”
Zhang Xiaoying pondered for a long time before suddenly saying: “Do you remember when we talked about your husband’s past life?”
“You all said that no one could know your husband’s experiences from the last life.”
“Now that Senior Sister Yan has regained most of her powers,” she continued, “do I have a way to see my husband’s past memories?”
