Chapter 259: Foreboding

Wang Wei sat on a Purple-Golden throne full of decorations of dragons, different worlds and civilizations, and strings of fate connecting all these things. He was waiting for someone, and he did not have to wait long.

Soon after, a beautiful woman wearing a long cheongsam walked in, she had long legs and her feet bare, and every time she took a step, runes appeared underneath her white feet to support her.

Her phoenix eyes were very profound as if containing all the secrets of the universe, and her smile more radiant than a million suns.

Wu Hong looked at the room that was decorated like a throne, she asked: "Why did you decorate it like this?"

"The other day I was in a kingly mood, so I decorated it as such," replied Wang Wei nonchalantly, then motioner for her to seat on him, and she did it without much thought or hesitation.

After that, she caressed his silver-grey hair, "I forgot that sometimes you can be a little too much."

Wang Wei shrugged as he said back: "What's the point of having all this power if I cannot do as I please?"

"True, for someone who pursues freedom like yourself, you can do whatever you please based on your emotions or desires. So, how have you been recent?" asked Wu Hong while still playing with his hair.

"Terrible!"

"Oh, why is that?"

"Because I've missed you very dearly," replied Wang Wei with a serious look on his face.

"Is that so? In that case, let me make it up to you." She lowered her head and kissed him, very passionately. The two spent the next half hour inseparable from one another.

Since they did not need to breathe, their lips never separated from one another. This single kiss made it look like they were separated for countless millennia, and were finally reunited after fighting Gods, Demons, Buddhas, and even Heaven and Earth itself.

Of course, Wang Wei wanted more than some lip action, so his dirty hand traveled from Wu Hong's legs under her dress, in an attempt to reach the forbidden zone. Unfortunately for him, she slapped him away before he could get what he wanted.

"It's been so long, when can we go further?" he asked.

"For one, we have not to go through the proper ceremony to become Dao Companions," replied Wu Hong with her usually calm face and voice. "Second, you cannot touch me until you finish temper all your organs and blood."

"I understand the first reason, but what does my Body Refining level have to do with anything?"

"For one, your current fleshly body is too weak to keep up with me."

Wang Wei immediately looked at her as if she was crazy. However, Wu Hong just held his hand and squeezed lightly. Immediately afterward, his hand was pulverized into millions of particles; there was no blood and bones left, they were instantly pulverized.

A few seconds later, his hand grew back and he said: "Although I knew that your fleshly body was powerful, I did not think that it was this scary."

Wu Hong just smiled as she continued to caress his hair; this was one of the reasons that she loved him. He did not have the usual ego of man in this world; the ego that would not accept their companions to be more powerful than them.

Also, he will not feel inferior because of this, but motivate himself to reach the level of being equal to her. And Wu Hong believed that not only will he reach her level, but even surpass her. Then, she will try to surpass him and eventually succeed. This cycle will push them forward together until they reach the end of the Dao and beyond it.

"The main reason for stopping you is that after your body reaches a certain level, I can use Dual Cultivation to help further refine your body, thus saving you a lot of time and detour in the future."

Wang Wei nodded in agreement with her, then he did not mention the subjects anymore. Taking out a purple light from his space ring, he said: "Just seeing your beautiful face was not the only reason that I wanted to meet you today."

"Is that the special merit you received after setting up the school system?"

"Yes. I have checked it, and have many of the Elders of the sect checked it, and they found nothing wrong with it. But just in case, I want you to see if there is anything wrong with it if there is some kind of backhand left in it."

"I think you are being too paranoid," replied Wu Hong as she took the purple merit to check. Her eyes turned into strange circular runes as she looked at it.

"Given my history with Heavenly Dao, can you blame?"

"Well, I've checked and there is nothing wrong with it. As I said before, you are too paranoid. Heavenly Dao is fair, it has rules and regulations to follow, and it cannot attack or plot against you for no reason."

"Then, why does it hate me so much? I can feel it during the ceremony, it was very reluctant to give me the reward I deserve. According to your logic, it should have a reason to hate me."

Wu Hong became silent after hearing this, so after seeing this, Wang Wei asked: "Is this one of the things that you cannot tell me?"

Wu Hong shook her head, "It's not this. It's because I do not know!"

"Do not know? What do you mean?"

"Logically speaking, when it comes to this kind of information that is very important to you, I should know about it, but my mind or memory is blank. The odd thing is when I tried to do actual research to find the cause of your problems, I could not find anything. To be precise, it was like the information was right in front of me, but I gloss it over."

Wang Wei frowned after hearing this, then he asked: "Do you know what's going on?"

"Well, it's like someone" However, she stopped midway and did not continue.

"Like someone is only giving you a limited amount of information enough to help me, but not enough for me to be too reliant on you?"

Wu Hong nodded her head, and Wang Wei sighed deeply. "It seems that we might be in a bigger quagmire than anticipated."

Wu Hong could not agree more as she knew more than him. So, she lowered her head to touch his, and they remained silent in each other's embrace.

Meanwhile, she looked in the distance with a dazed look on her face. There, Wu Hong could see a vague figure that look exactly like herself, except the temperament was otherworldly, transcendent.

She thought to herself while looking at the figure: 'Crazy woman, why do you have to put so many restrictions on me? Couldn't you do what you wanted and not care about the consequences?'

However, soon, she realized that she might be calling herself crazy and she secretly sighed deeply. Things were beginning to be more complicated than she would like them to be.

Wang Family Mountain, inside a secret room:

Yu Yan sat cross-legged in front of a formation with an elderly woman on the other side.

"Mom did the merit help cure father's injuries?"

"Unfortunately, no," replied Yu Yan's mother and Wang Wei's grandmother, Yun Zhaojun.

"What? How come? Does he need more?"

Yun Zhaojun sighed deeply with melancholy. "By now, you should guess that your father's problem cannot be dealt with resources, and the decision that he has made."

Yu Yan became quiet for a moment after hearing this, then she asked: "What about you?"

"I'll always accompany him wherever he goes."

Knowing her mother, she was not that surprised, so she asked: "How long do we have?"

"A few hundred years, maybe less."

"That's not a long time," replied Yu Yan. Although she knew that this day would come, she never thought that it would be so soon.

"Can't you both of you change your minds? Or at the very least, you do!"

Yun Zhaojun sighed again before saying: "Daughter, I know that my decision is very selfish, and I'm very sorry to you. But, I have made my mind."

"If you cannot change your mind for me, then do it for Wei'er. You should know how attached he is to you. Can you imagine how devastating this news will be to him?"

This time, it was Yun Zhaojun to be silent. After more than five minutes, she sighed for the third time and said: "Wei'er has always been a very intelligent kid, so I know he will understand our decision."

"Even if he understands, it does not mean he can accept it."

"You may be right, daughter
