Chapter 1148 - 629: The Spendthrift Son (Double-Length)
Miss Aqing stood gracefully by the window at the corner, holding a food box. She looked out at the midnight wind swirling in Beisang City, listening as Xu Chang’an’s voice slowly faded away.
’Young Master... do you wish for an afterlife, for reincarnation?’
Nowadays, every word Xu Chang’an says, she listens to carefully, believing them to contain deep meaning.
Miss Aqing twisted her fingers together, revealing her inner turmoil.
If... the young master wishes for it, does it mean that this world inherently has an afterlife, inherently has reincarnation?
Miss Aqing’s pale eyes trembled slightly.
In her journey to understand the world, and in Xu Chang’an’s casual musings, which is closer to the essence of the world?
Without a doubt, Miss Aqing chose the latter, then gently leaned on the windowsill, tilting her head.
Yet, she indeed knows the essence of the soul, indeed knows... that a person’s ultimate destination should be this world, not some reincarnation.
But those are the words of the young master.
At this moment in time, even if Xu Chang’an said the sun should rise at night and the moon should shine during the day... she would believe Xu Chang’an was right. If not... it was just that the world temporarily made a mistake...
How could the young master be wrong?
In this world, if he says it exists, it must exist, it must unfold as he wishes.
So, after her worldview and the young master conflicted, Miss Aqing stopped thinking... choosing to unthinkingly stand by Xu Chang’an.
’Reincarnation...’
The gentle breeze brushed past Miss Aqing’s face, leaving her somewhat dazed.
If there truly is a next life, if she doesn’t need to turn into fragments of the world, then... in the next life, what does she wish to become?
At this thought, Miss Aqing was taken aback.
She originally thought if there was a next life, she would hope to be a true Human Race girl, yet unexpectedly her first reaction was still to be a Half-Demon.
In the next life, she still wants to be a Half-Demon, just not a Snake Demon this time.
Honestly, when she was young, she often got bullied by Li Hua... After all, in some sense, Mao’Er is the natural enemy of the Cyan Snake because, compared to the rarer elements of the world, little pets like Mao’Er are everywhere.
So, in the next life, she wants to be a Mao’Er.
Before taking human form, she could be held in the young master’s arms...
And she could even marry him as a Mao’Er.
And once her cultivation succeeds... she could transform into a young girl... and then serve as a maid for the young master.
Isn’t this wonderful?
It is.
Miss Aqing thinks this must be the most ’romantic’ next life she can imagine for herself...
Yes, just to be a maid.
Because she also likes Yun Qian very much, Miss Aqing never thought about pushing Yun Qian aside to take her place.
After all... watching Xu Chang’an and Yun Qian together is double the happiness for her, how could she easily give it up?
However, what Miss Aqing doesn’t know is that the future she imagines... named ’Xu Xiaohua’ has already embarked halfway.
As for whether Xiaohua can become a girl in the future...
That will depend on Miss Yun’s mood.
——
Xu Chang’an is not someone who deludes himself, but sometimes seeing things too clearly... can also be troubling.
His rationality makes him aware that people should put everything, all important matters, before them, in this life.
As long as one seizes this life, there is no need to pay attention to the next life... or rather, only those who are cowardly and incompetent would hope for reincarnation or the next life to fulfill their wishes.
He clearly knows that.
He always strives to do his best in this life... yet, he still cannot see through reincarnation, even if he is rational, he still places hope in reincarnation...
Such a person, truly is cowardly.
Mr...
Xu Chang’an looked at Li Zhibai, who listened to him with a somewhat dazed expression, and sighed softly.
The teacher must be very disappointed in such a cowardly person, given that Li Zhibai is someone who seizes the moment, never postpones what’s to be done today to the next day.
As expected, after he spoke of hoping for a next life, for reincarnation, Li Zhibai’s expression immediately turned into a daze.
"You... are thinking about the next life?" Li Zhibai’s eyes trembled gently, clearly surprised by Xu Chang’an’s thoughts.
"...Yes." Xu Chang’an admitted.
There was no way around it; these are his most authentic thoughts, so he would not lie to the teacher.
Even though he knows, once he harbors thoughts of the next life, it first reflects his ’self-doubt’, ’irresponsibility’ in this life, and then exposes the greed in his heart, to think, a person hasn’t even completed half of this life yet, but is thinking about the next life...
It’s like a person owning mountains of gold and silver, yet always coveting the wealth that doesn’t belong to him in others’ pockets... what greed this is.
The teacher... must be disappointed in him.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Chang’an met Li Zhibai’s eyes.
But one must confront one’s true self.
He rarely ever has a desire of greed.
After all... if reincarnation were real, wouldn’t he have the chance in the next life, the life after, to meet Miss Yun again? At that time, even if it means becoming a Li Hua following Yun’ou, he would surely be very happy.
Or...
Miss Yun becoming a Li Hua?
Forget it, the more he thought, the stranger it became.
Xu Chang’an gently patted his face, looking at the still uncomprehending Li Zhibai, helplessly saying: "Teacher, I really am useless... right, scoffing at reincarnation, yet hoping for a next life... Such naïve, greedy thoughts must have disappointed you."
