Chapter 387 - 344: Ye Chen’s Terrifying Background!
"I have let down the three of them, and Yu Qing," Ye Chen sighed with a heavy heart, filled more with guilt than sorrow, for the heartache his lovers had endured during this period was something he felt truly ashamed of facing.
Yaya looked at him with a pained expression, her translucent and unmatched gentle hand gently holding his, whispering, "Daddy, you don’t need to feel guilty. If Mommy knew you were still alive, they would definitely be very happy."
Wang Ming also sighed lightly, "Qian Yue, you must realize that Chen’er, Sister Jingruo, and the others have deep feelings for you. Knowing you are still alive will surely make them very happy, lifting the worries they have had these past days. It’s good for both you and them, so why feel guilty, especially when this was never your fault."
"Perhaps," Ye Chen replied bitterly, yet he felt he had no face to meet them, the way he was now.
Yaya put her hands on his cheeks and their eyes met, her clear eyes looking steadily into his as if seeing through everything, compelling him, saying, "Daddy, are you willing to let Mommy and the others wait forever? They all love you. Can you really bear the thought of letting them grow old alone, ending their lives in loneliness, or throwing themselves into the arms of others?"
Ye Chen’s heart trembled; he couldn’t bear the thought of them being lonely for life, living in sorrow. And to stand by and watch them become intimate with someone else was even more unbearable, an ordeal he couldn’t endure no matter which one it was.
He came to understand that he could not afford to be weak any longer. His expression firmed, and he declared, "Alright, I will meet them. Yaya, you go back and tell them the news that I am still alive, but not now, not yet."
"Why?" Yaya was astonished, as Ye Chen ought to see his mothers as soon as possible.
Wang Ming and Wang Shan, master and disciple, were both taken aback as well.
Ye Chen’s eyes took on a steadfast light, shining like a divine lamp, and after exhaling slowly, he solemnly stated, "I once made them a promise of eternity, which I have never fulfilled. But now, before that promise, I add another – on the day I marry them, it shall be the time when I achieve the status of Supreme Human Emperor. I will let them be the most glorious and happiest people in the world."
In that moment, Ye Chen made a vow, a promise to the heavens and earth, to never let down his lovers’ feelings. One day, he would return in the most magnificent manner from the Heavenly and Myriad Domains, defy the heavens, and on that day, marry them, making them the happiest people in the world.
