Chapter 4108: Chapter 4108: Destiny or Illusion? (Second Update)

The brocade robe on the young man’s body was originally an extremely luxurious item, but at this moment, it was so dirty that it was hardly different from the ragged clothes of a beggar.

He struggled to place the rather heavy clay pot in front of the beggar and respectfully said, "Master, please have your meal."

The beggar glanced coldly at the young man and said, "Who is your master?"

After speaking, he lazily opened the lid of the clay pot, revealing steaming hot meat porridge, and a flash of light flickered in his eyes.

He slowly put down the lid and looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Young master, you haven’t gone home for a month, learning to be a beggar with me, begging everywhere. The people who reward this meat porridge are generous, but they require others to kneel at their doorstep for three hours before they are willing to give it. Aren’t you afraid of freezing to death in this heavy snow?"

Ye Chen said faintly, "Master, don’t worry. I am not so easily killed. You said that if I could serve you well as a little beggar for a month, you’d accept me as a disciple. Is this pot of meat porridge satisfactory? If you don’t want to eat it, I’ll go and beg for something else."

The middle-aged beggar was silent for a moment, gazing into Ye Chen’s eyes. Throughout the month, every time Ye Chen went begging, he followed him secretly. Initially, he thought this child, being from a wealthy family, would cheat by bringing food from home to pass off.

After all, how could a young master from a luxurious life endure such hardship?

But he was wrong. For this whole month, Ye Chen endured the wind, snow, and humiliation, bringing back a pot of food every day!

The middle-aged beggar sighed, stood up slowly, and said, "Well, from today, you are my apprentice, Su Qi."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery dissolved into nihility in a burst of seven-colored light.

Ye Chen took a light breath and mumbled with a frown, "The 632nd world, even I almost couldn’t hold on and got lost in it. The warnings brought by the Dao heart are getting weaker and weaker. I don’t know how long I’ll have to live in this Illusion World before I can break illusion and emerge."

Life is limited, and if one cannot break illusion and emerge before dying of old age, one will be lost in this Illusion World and unable to continue challenging.

With a bitter smile, he thought never mind breaking through a thousand worlds, even entering the thousandth world is a problem.

At this moment, a burst of seven-colored light surged in, engulfing Ye Chen once again.

After Ye Chen’s figure disappeared, a few hours later, a woman’s figure also appeared here; it was Lin Zhuqing.

However, at this moment, Lin Zhuqing’s beautiful eyes were flickering with struggle. She held her head and said, "I... who am I? I am Lin Ya’er, the princess of this dynasty... No, that’s not right!"

In her ears, a burst of Linglong sound suddenly rang out, and her expression gradually calmed.

Lin Zhuqing’s eyes lowered as she said, "I am Chenyue Dark Child, Lin Zhuqing..."

She was silent for a moment, her pretty face filled with a heavy expression, and murmured, "Just the 632nd world, and the impact is already so strong? Even after breaking illusion, my spirit is still somewhat dazed...

Ye Chen should have entered the next Samsara by now. I must catch up with him!"

...

From the cave, a faint light flickered, casting two shadows.

A man and a woman were kneeling before a bluestone.

On either side of the bluestone, two red candles burned, and on the stone were carved the words Heaven and Earth.

The two of them bowed before this bluestone.

The woman bowed her head, her pretty face showing an extremely shy expression, seemingly embarrassed to raise her head.

Supporting the woman to stand up, the man wore a light smile, gently lifted the woman’s chin, and softly said, "From now on, you will be my wife."

Upon hearing this, the woman’s breath quickened, yet she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Finding that Penglai Immortal Sect with the Supreme Martial Arts has been my dream. I... I agreed to be with you just to enter the Immortal Sect..."

The man laughed and said, "If it weren’t for both of us having the Penglai Immortal Sect as our goal, we wouldn’t have come together. I promise you, no matter what, I will take you into that Penglai Immortal Sect!"

The candlelight in the dark cave illuminated the faces of this man and woman.

The man’s expression was slightly aloof, and the woman was of stunning beauty and extraordinary temperament...

...

Ten years later.

In a barren mountain.

Ye Chen was vigorously digging in the earth. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he unearthed a green fruit from the ground.

On his hollow cheeks, a hint of joy emerged, but when he saw that the fruit in his hand was only the size of a baby’s fist, he couldn’t help but frown slightly, with a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Dragging his heavy steps, he entered a cave.

Inside the cave, a similarly thin woman sat.

Seeing Ye Chen return, Lin Zhuqing’s pretty face showed a hint of joy.

Ye Chen took out the fruit and handed it to Lin Zhuqing, smiling, "Eat it. This green fruit contains a trace of spiritual energy, which can restore some of your Origin Qi. For the next three days, you won’t suffer from hunger or thirst."

Lin Zhuqing’s beautiful eyes lit up as she took the fruit, and was about to eagerly bring it to her mouth, but then she paused abruptly, looked at Ye Chen, and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "There were two of them, I already ate one. Go ahead, have it, and once you’re full, we’ll continue on our journey. The Penglai Immortal Sect shouldn’t be far from here."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhuqing slowly lowered her head, her pretty face covered with a layer of gloom, and the fruit in her hand rolled to the ground.

Ye Chen looked at the fruit, his eyes flickering briefly. He picked it up, cleaned off the dust, and handed it back to Lin Zhuqing with a smile, "Go on, eat it. How come you don’t even have the strength to hold a fruit?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhuqing seemed to be provoked. Her pretty face showed a hint of anger, and she suddenly waved her hand, knocking the fruit out of Ye Chen’s hand. Tears glistened in her beautiful eyes as she shouted angrily, "Penglai Immortal Sect! Penglai Immortal Sect! For this elusive Penglai Immortal Sect, we have endured so much hardship over the past ten years! Every time, it’s almost there, almost there, when will we finally get there?!"

Covering her face, she cried, "Ye Chen, I... I miss home. I have spent my precious youth searching for this Penglai Immortal Sect. I don’t want to continue like this anymore..."

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then gently embraced Lin Zhuqing, softly saying, "Alright, we’ll go home."

...

Ye Chen and Lin Zhuqing didn’t really have a home. The so-called going home was merely an excuse to end this wandering life.

The two of them spent five years making their way out of those endless mountains to settle in a small town that was neither bustling nor deserted.

In this town, they spent another three years before finally settling down.
