Chapter 440: Awakening (2)

Xu Jingmings eyes were filled with longing.

Ive done what Miss instructed me. Uncle Qi smiled at Xu Jingming. Also, Young Master, you dont have to worry. I havent done anything evil over the years. Im not the kind of demon you hate.

Im not troubled. Also, I trust you, Xu Jingming stated.

Alright, Ive already said what needs to be said. Im relieved, Uncle Qi said. Theres one last thing I would like to advise you on.

Please speak, Xu Jingming said.

In the past decade or so, youve traveled all over the world and cared about the common people. But Young Master, you should care more about yourself, Uncle Qi said. Humans only live this long. Its better to do something you like and are happy with.

Just like meIve been doing what gratifies me my entire life. I followed Miss back then and later protected you, Uncle Qi said. After Im gone, youll be alone. You should do something that gratifies you and not work too hard.

Xu Jingming nodded slightly. Uncle Qi, thank you.

Im leaving. Uncle Qi put down his wine cup and smiled before his figure dissipated.

When he dissipated, Uncle Qi looked at the sky. He would remember that day for the rest of his lifethe beautiful girl holding his hand as the hunchbacked youth walked through the Wu familys door.

Xu Jingming sat at the stone table with a flask of wine and two cups in front of him. Uncle Qi had already dissipated.

Demons were undying as long as their obsessions existed. Once the obsession dissipated, they would disappear.

Uncle Qis obsession was to protect his young master. Now that his young master doesnt need his protection, he persisted in staying behind because he wanted to tell me everything and give me some advice. I should do something I like and be happy?

This was Uncle Qis final exhortation.

Uncle Qi, fate brought us together for over a decade, Xu Jingming whispered. Our parting in the Demon Vanquishing World is only the beginning of your long life. We will eventually meet again.

*******

In a distant galaxy.

A huge ring-shaped building completely enveloped a star. The light and heat emitted by the star at all times were also absorbed and used by the ring-shaped building.

There were countless lives in the huge ring-shaped building.

In one of the rooms on the 132nd floor of District B37.

In a nutrition cabin, a man with messy hair suddenly sat up straight. He was a little confused. Wu Qi? Zwick?

Soon, he came to his senses. Its been 53 years?

The man with disheveled hair sat in front of a mirror and trimmed his hair and beard. He quickly turned into an aged middle-aged man with wrinkles on his face, and some of his hair had turned white.

I was still young before I fell asleep, but Im already more than 100 years old by the time I woke up? Should I call myself Zwick or Wu Qi now? Life as Zwick is too boring. Wu Qis days were happier.

Nobody cares about Zwick anyway.

From now on, my name is Wu Qi. Wu Qi looked at himself in the mirror.

In reality, he was originally a resident of a mineral planet. He had grown up in the wind, sand, and metal since he was a child. A mineral planet was all about mining! The living environment here was much worse than on habitable planets.

He didnt know who his father was.

After his mother gave birth to him, she finally accumulated enough points and immediately applied for a transfer! His mother didnt have any attachment to him and abandoned him, leaving him on the hopeless mineral planet.

Wu Qi had been working hard on the mineral planet, but no woman took a fancy to him. It wasnt until he was 62 that he saved up enough points to apply to leave the mineral planet.

This was the first time he arrived on an habitable planet. He looked at the exciting world, but the poor him quickly encountered all kinds of setbacks.

He was imbued with hope when he learned of a recruitment drive for virtual world natives.

My life has been too mundane. Perhaps the virtual world will be exciting. Wu Qi submitted his application and was sent here with many people.

The virtual world he entered was called Demon Vanquishing World.

In order to fully enjoy such a world, he chose to descend upon a five-year-old child and chose an 80-year contract. If everything went well, this child should be able to live to the age of 85.

He had stayed in the Demon Vanquishing World for 53 years, and his obsession had dissipated. When he woke up in reality, his true age was already past 100 years, and he had quite a bit of white hair.

Ill go out and take a look. Wu Qi walked out of the room and went down the corridor.

After walking for a moment, he took a sightseeing elevator and quickly arrived at the outermost perimeter.

The huge barrier greatly weakened the stars light and heat.

Wu Qi sat down and looked at the incomparably huge star in front of him through the barrier in the sky.

Compared to reality, the 53 years in Demon Vanquishing World were rather exciting. Miss was really good to me, and she took care of me when I entered the Wu residence. I learned martial arts there and gained basic mastery of martial arts. Wu Qi smiled. It was also in the Demon Vanquishing World that I tasted many fine wines and delicacies. Young Master really likes good food. I wonder if he will still go about searching for delicacies alone after Im gone.

Miss, are you alright in reality? Wu Qi was a little worried.

He had lived for more than a hundred years, yet he missed her so much.

Can I see Miss and Young Master again? Wu Qi thought to himself.

Buzz

A projection condensed at the side and condensed into a woman in a gray uniform.

Wu Qi turned his head.
