Chapter 1709 In the end, he still suffered heartbreak!
"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say and given everything I was supposed to give."
Evelyna's relaxed voice interrupted Sun Ying's thoughts once again:
"The mission is complete, and I can leave with peace of mind."
"What?" Sun Ying was taken aback, sensing an unusual sense of parting from Evelina's few words:
"Leave? Are you going to the Demon Realm? Or returning to the outside world?"
Evelina shook her head, a smile playing on her lips, but a lingering sadness in her eyes.
"I'm leaving the real world and heading to the realm of gods."
"When you came here, Arost must have already told you that I had one foot in the demigod realm, right?"
Sun Ying nodded, her face still filled with shock.
"In fact, I have already met all the conditions for ascending to the throne of gods, and I can be promoted to a demigod at any time."
"The reason I've been stuck at the half-step level is so that I can stay in the real world and wait for you."
"Waiting for me?" Sun Ying was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, unsure whether to be touched or saddened.
After pausing for a long time, he deliberately feigned indifference and stammered:
"Wait, wait for me... what are you waiting for... just to see me?"
"Or is it that you don't trust those Gobelins and want to hand over the memory crystal to me personally?"
"You could have easily had them deliver the message to me. With your current strength, you could have easily found a dozen or so Gobelins to sign slave contracts with, right?"
"With the contract in place, no matter how unreliable the Gobelins are, they'll still hand over the memory crystals to me for the sake of their own lives..."
“I’m waiting for you, not because I don’t trust Gobelin.” Before Sun Ying could finish speaking, Evelina shook her head and interrupted:
"It's because I want to see you."
That one short sentence immediately silenced Sun Ying, whose mouth had been opening and closing incessantly.
His face visibly flushed red.
After a long while, she finally managed to stammer out a sentence.
"What...what are you saying? You and Lu Li already have a child..."
"It's not what you think." Evelyna's expression remained unchanged, still radiating a comforting gentleness.
"To me, you're more like family."
"If it weren't for your care back then, I wouldn't have been able to survive for five years until Lu Li arrived."
Sun Ying remained silent.
She could sense the sincerity and gratitude in Evelina's words.
But she also heard the negative answer she least wanted to hear.
Her attempt to compete with Lu Li for the man she loved ultimately ended in failure.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't frustrated.
After all, Sun Ying's feelings for Evelyna were genuine and sincere.
Just as Sun Ying was desperately trying to regulate her emotions and appear unconcerned, a soft and warm hug suddenly enveloped her tightly.
"Thank you."
The gloom that had been hanging over Sun Ying's heart vanished instantly because of that hug.
"Hmph, Lu Li was only a little luckier than me; he was transported back 288 years in the past along with you."
"If I had been by your side back then, I wouldn't have lost!"
"Yes, you've always been excellent." Evelyna released Sun Ying, not denying her feigned strength.
"The Spirit Race needs you, and so does Mo Xing. If possible..."
Sun Ying deliberately turned her head to the side, avoiding looking at Evelina's slightly pleading gaze.
But he waved his hand and readily agreed:
"Don't worry, I've got your son covered!"
After finishing, seemingly feeling it wasn't quite proper, he immediately turned his head back, looked at the succubus's face seriously, and said:
"However, I'm only doing this because of you, Evelina. I have absolutely no connection with that Lu Li."
"Even if that guy dies, he can only blame himself for being too weak. I won't show him a shred of sympathy!"
"...At most half a point! At most, that's the most!"
"Thank you," Evelyna said softly, her eyes lowered.
"I hope that one day I can see you again."
Sun Ying gazed at that breathtakingly beautiful face that haunted her dreams, and for a moment she was lost in thought.
By the time she realized what was happening, Evelina had already vanished into thin air.
Only a few psychedelic and dazzling pink light particles remained, still drifting and scattering in mid-air.
Sun Ying stood there for a long time.
She sighed only after the last bit of light disappeared, looking utterly dejected.
In the end, I still lost my love.
I thought the reunion would be a joyful occasion, and that I would no longer be lonely.
Unexpectedly, after a brief exchange, Sun Ying was still all alone.
"Although I didn't win Evelina's heart, I at least gained her 288 years of memories."
"It wasn't a complete loss, was it..."
Sun Ying carefully put away the memory crystal and looked around again.
The completely unfamiliar environment gave her a feeling of being lost and bewildered, like someone drawing a sword and looking around in confusion.
Gobelins and the others all had their own things to do and looked very busy.
They won't approach her, let alone assign her any tasks.
Unless Sun Ying makes the request herself.
As for the task Evelina asked her to do, she only gave a very vague general direction.
It did not specify what actions should be taken at what point in time.
So now, Sun Ying is her own captain.
It's time to assign yourself tasks.
"I heard from Evelina that Lu Li is already dead and there's no need to pay attention to him anymore."
"And Evelina has left the real world again. Judging from her tone, she probably won't be returning anytime soon."
"The memories in the memory crystal... from 288 years ago, I'll look at them slowly when I have time..."
"Well, the most urgent thing is to meet with Evelina's son, Mo Xing."
As Sun Ying muttered to herself, she quickly determined her current goal.
However, it's definitely unrealistic for her to search alone.
Therefore, we still need to seek help from Gobelins.
Just do it when you think of it.
Sun Ying quickly took two steps forward, stopped a hurried Gobelins, and asked in a friendly manner:
"Hello, I'd like to meet Evelina's son, Mo Xing, but I don't know how to contact him?"
After being stopped, Gobelin first looked Sun Ying up and down, then, as if confirming something, he bowed slightly to her and quickly replied:
"I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure how to contact Evelina's adult children, but I think Elder Mitt might be able to help you."
"If you'd like, I can take you to see him."
"Then I'll have to trouble you." Sun Ying nodded, forcing a grateful smile on her face.
To be honest, she wasn't quite used to treating Gobelin as an equal.
I have a feeling that these short, green plants will revert to their original form at any moment, turning into the weak and sleazy creatures I remember.
"Stereotypes are deadly...we need to change them quickly!"
After muttering something to herself, Sun Ying immediately followed in Gobelins' footsteps and walked forward.
