Wang Baole didn't say anything. He just stared blankly at his Senior Brother, drinking mouthful after mouthful of Iced Spirit Water. Eventually, his hands began to tremble.
"Baole, do you still remember the first time we met?"
"I do …."
"You were so scared back then, kid. Your Senior Brother found it funny, so I arranged for two flame beasts to kill you right in front of you."
Wang Baole smiled. Memories of that time surfaced in his mind, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes ….
Night fell, and the bright moon rose into the sky. Then, the night passed ….
That night, Chen Qing and Wang Baole talked for a long time. They talked about everything that had happened in the Realm of the Stone Steles, bit by bit. Wang Baole's eyes flickered with memories.
When the sky began to brighten, Chen Qing put down his empty flagon and sighed.
"Baole, do you miss Master …?"
"Yes …." Wang Baole murmured.
"I miss him too. Let's go back to the Realm of the Stone Steles. Let's go back to the place where Master disappeared. Let's go see him …."
Wang Baole looked at his Senior Brother and nodded. In the next moment … the two of them disappeared from the tavern. When they reappeared … they were … in the Realm of the Stone Steles.
They were in the Great Necropolis of the Underworld Sect, where their Master had disappeared.
The two of them were silent as they looked around at the familiar scene. Memories flashed through Wang Baole's mind like images. After a long moment, Chen Qing spoke softly.
"This place means a lot to you and me. Therefore, I won't speak carelessly here."
"Baole, no matter what happened to you, you're still my junior brother …" Chen Qing gave Wang Baole a deep, meaningful look as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly and seriously.
Wang Baole didn't say anything. After a long moment, he took a deep breath and clasped hands to his Senior Brother.
"Senior Brother, I want to go see some old friends …."
"Go, take a walk, take a look, and reminisce." Chen Qing smiled as he spoke. He stared at Wang Baole, who had turned and was gradually disappearing into the distance. There was a complicated look in his eyes.
"You are my junior brother. Even if … you are only a part of him in the past, you … are still my junior brother."
After leaving the area, Wang Baole suddenly stopped in place as he flew through the starry sky. He had heard Chen Qing's murmur.
After a long time, Wang Baole sighed softly. He looked at the Stone Tablet World and took a step forward.
When he reappeared, he was already in the Solar System, in the Federation, on Earth, in … a small city called Phoenix.
This small city was somewhat different from what Wang Baole remembered. It was clearly much more complete, and there were many more buildings than before.
However, due to some special reasons, some of the old buildings were still well-preserved.
For example … there was a school here.
It was the end of the school day. A large number of students were walking in and out of the school. There were children of eight or nine years old, as well as boys and girls of fourteen or fifteen years old.
This school was a comprehensive school for students from eight to sixteen years old. It was also Wang Baole's alma mater.
He stood at the entrance of the school and vaguely saw a fat boy of eight or nine years old walking out of the school while crying. There was a little girl behind him, who was glaring at him sternly.
As he looked at them, Wang Baole smiled and shook his head. He took a second step and appeared in a residence in this small city. This place seemed to have been empty for a long time and was protected. There was not a speck of dust in the house, especially one of the bedrooms, which still retained its former decorations.
There were some toys and some murals in the room. The most eye-catching thing … was that on the wall, there were two sentences that seemed to have been carved with great determination at different times.
I want to be the President of the Federation!
I want to lose weight!
Looking at these two sentences, Wang Baole smiled. He thought back to the time when he was bullied by Du Min and swore to become a high-ranking official, to become the President of the Federation. In the middle of the night, he carved these words on the wall.
Then, when he grew up, his father took him to the Wang Family's ancestral hall. Under the eerie candlelight, half of his father's figure seemed to be hidden in the shadows. He faintly told him that the Wang Family's curse was that every ancestor who weighed more than 100 kilograms would die young ….
That night, Wang Baole, who weighed 190 kilograms, lay shivering in bed and had a nightmare. In his dream, many of his great-grandfathers came to play with him …. When he woke up with a start, he quickly carved the words "I want to lose weight" on the wall.
"I wonder how Mom and Dad are doing …" Perhaps it was the warmth of the memory that made Wang Baole feel much better. A smile appeared on his face, and after taking a deep look at the two sentences, he turned around and left.
When he reappeared, he was already in another city on Earth. This city … was the capital of the Federation. It occupied a large area and was very vast. It could accommodate more than 100 million people.
Such a large city was bustling with activity and was extremely lively. The development of spirit energy allowed cultivation and technology to coexist. As far as the eye could see, there were many tall buildings in the city, and there was an endless stream of flying cars.
Although most of the pedestrians had hurried expressions, their eyes were filled with vitality. The entire city was like the rising sun, giving people a feeling of brightness and beauty.
This was especially so for the young people inside … However, there were also some who were not doing their jobs properly. For example, at this moment, there was a flying car that looked especially luxurious. It was speeding away as if it was fleeing for its life.
Behind it, there were seven or eight black flying cars that were solemnly chasing after it. In the end … the luxurious flying car was caught and blocked in the street.
A young man who was supposed to be a ruffian walked out of the car. However, at this moment, he had a long face as he looked at a young girl in a black dress who walked out of one of the flying cars that had blocked his way.
The young girl was very beautiful, but her expression was cold as she walked towards the young man.
The young man seemed to be very afraid and quickly shouted.
"Listen to me, I really don't know her. Last night …"
Before he could finish, the young girl stepped forward and grabbed the young man's ear.
"Come home with me and explain to me properly. If your explanation is not good, I will send you to the hospital. The doctor is ready."
The young man howled in pain as he asked this question.
"Why should I go to the hospital? The doctor is ready? What do you mean … "
"Cut off your troubles!" the young girl said coldly.
The young man was stunned for a moment. Then, he cried out even louder. However, he did not dare to resist. He could only cry, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Why? Why did you arrange such a fiancée for me in my best years … This is not right. I keep feeling that something is wrong. It shouldn't be like this …"
As the young man and woman disappeared into the distance, Wang Baole looked at the scene in the sky. He held his stomach and laughed very happily. Those were the reincarnations of his parents.
He still remembered that before his father left, he had secretly told him to make arrangements for his next life … As he said that, he seemed to have winked and looked at him with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."
Beside him, his mother had said coldly that if they had met earlier, they would have been together forever.
At that time, his father seemed to have wanted to say something but stopped …
"There's no other way, Dad. Mom's status in the family is obviously the highest … I wish you both happiness." Looking at his parents' reincarnations, Wang Baole smiled. A sense of loneliness rose in his heart without him knowing.
