Chapter 874: Farewell, My Dear!
Strangely, she loved being human, but at the same time, she didn’t feel sad about saying goodbye to her identity as part of the human race.
"Yue’er, my time is up. Take care of yourself, my dear. We’ll meet again soon. I love you," the man said, his tone full of reluctance and unwillingness.
He leaned over. Despite being unable to feel each other’s warmth, he still placed his hand on top of her head, making a gentle caressing motion.
"Father, I’ll take care of myself, I promise. Please wait for me. I will find you. I love you too." Shenlian Yingyue’s eyes reddened, but she held back her tears of reluctance and sadness. She gave him a blooming smile, a bright one that seemed to light up the whole world.
She obediently stood still, letting her father take a final look at her. She tried to see his face, but it remained blurry.
Millions of words were not enough to describe the emotions of their parting. Countless things the man wanted to say lingered on his lips, but in the end, he simply placed his transparent hands on her cheeks and gently rubbed them.
"I have to go, my dear," he whispered.
His figure soon disappeared into the vast expanse of space, leaving behind only the faint scent of the holy lotus, lingering in the air and wrapping around her like a warm embrace.
Shenlian Yingyue stretched out her hand to touch him, but it passed through the empty space. She watched his figure fade, bit by bit, with an unspeakable sadness.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled until he was completely gone.
The vast space now felt empty and lonely. She quickly shook her head, forcing herself not to dwell on how happy she had been with him.
