âHate you? Chu Yi God, why should I hate you? I have no love for you so why would there be hate? Instead, I want to thank you. If it werenât for you, I wouldnât have found Di Cang and achieved the positive results we did.â
The manâs stoic body stiffened into a rigid block. He would rather not hear that if possible. Hate meant they still had some sort of connection. Without that, what else did he have left? Nothing, thatâs what. Thereâs nothing left for himâ¦.
Bitterness spread from within Chu Yi Godâs mouth, leaving him pained and hurt to the depths of his heart.
âYanâer, if I hadnât given up on you for the world, would you have become my wife?â
âNo,â Bai Yan spelled this out in no uncertain terms to squash that idea, âI would never have married you. Before, I was dependent on you and nothing more. Thatâs not love. Love is what Di Cang and I have. He gave me happiness. He gave me his all. That is why I chose him. We share our all and nothing less.â
Showing a faint smile, Chu Yi God expected this but that didnât mean it wouldnât hurt. âI thought as muchâ¦. You asked me before on why Chu Yi Feng looked so similar to me, did you not? I can tell you.â
Bai Yan narrowed her eyes and locked onto that fairy-like face with a blank expression. âSo itâs true, heâs related to you?â
âYes,â said the man with a shallow smile that brought a breeze to those who saw him, âhe is the person I cultivated with my essence and soul. I couldnât leave the Celestial Realm at the time so I sent him into the reincarnation cycle to find youâ¦. Unfortunately, I can never compare to him despite being his creatorâ¦.â
Thatâs right. His clone could stand by Bai Yanâs side while he couldnât do at their lowest. In that respect, Chu Yi God was more of a failure than anyone in this world.
Bai Yan clenched her fists into a ball as her breathing grew heavy: âThen I want to ask another question. If no one helps Yi Feng, will anything happen to his body?â
âNothing will happen.â Chu Yi God shakes his head indifferently, âHe is a complete person with his own thoughts. He may have been a clone of me from the beginning, but thatâs not true anymore. Whatever he does is his own choice, thatâs the result of him being reincarnated. However, part of my character remains with him, that is why he is destined to live his life alone.â
Bai Yanâs heart shuddered over what the guy meant. Then closing her eyes, a tinge of pain swirled within the demon queenâs heart.
Yi Feng is doomed to live a life of solitude?
Why is fate so unfair!
âYouâre in pain?â Chu Yi God didnât miss the change in her demeanor, âChu Yi Feng is right, he and Iâ¦. weâre not the same. Not only did he make a different choice, his position in your heartâ¦. I am far worse than him. You will at least feel hurt when heâs in trouble.â
At the end of the day, he not only lost to Di Cang, but also to another clone he himself created.
Bai Yan lowered her head as the sadness gripped her soul: âHe originally didnât need to carry so much baggage. It was you who created him and gave him hope at a new life, yet itâs also you who doomed him to a life of solitude.â
Indifferent and undazed, Chu Yi God didnât show any guilt: âThis is his destiny.â
