Interstellar Beast World: Winning the Villain's Heart with Cubs Chapter 232: The Truth Behind Her Disappearance

Yue Yue felt a chill run down her spine. She rembered her 18th birthday back on the primitive beast world. She rembered the strange feeling in the air before everything went black. "And just as she said," Yue Yue whispered, "I disappeared on my 18th birthday."

Cang Yuze nodded his head. "Yes. It was exactly like that. To the rest of the world, you just vanished. You didn’t die there, Yue Yue. You were pulled away by a force no one could stop. Your family was heartbroken, but they were also prepared."

"Wait," Yue Yue said, her mind racing. "Does that an I am still alive in my old world? That I just moved from one place to another?"

"In a way, yes," Cang Yuze replied. He sat up slightly so he could look into her eyes.

"Because your mother knew this would happen, your brother was actually ready to follow you. He was going to jump into the void to find you and bring you ho."

Yue Yue’s heart skipped a beat. She loved her brother very much, and the thought of him risking his life for her made her eyes tear up.

"But when I found out about the plan," Cang Yuze continued, "I volunteered myself instead. I couldn’t let him do it, and more importantly, I couldn’t imagine a world where you were gone. I have already sworn to be yours, Yue Yue. What would I do with my life if you were not there to lead ?"

Yue Yue was stunned. "So... you ca here for ? On purpose?"

"Yes," he said softly. "It was your mother who sent here. I don’t know exactly how she did it. She had secrets and a power that I didn’t understand. She opened a door for , and I walked through it without looking back."

Yue Yue sat there in silence, her mind full of questions. Did she use the system’s power to send Zeze here to protect ? There were so many mysteries, and her mother wasn’t here to answer them. But she felt a warm glow in her chest knowing how much her family cared for her. They hadn’t just let her go; they had sent a guardian.

Cang Yuze sighed and squeezed her hand. "But there was a catch. When I arrived, the ti flow was different. Instead of arriving at the sa ti as you, I was born into this world many years before you even arrived here."

"So you grew up here?" Yue Yue asked. "You had to live an entire life as a prince while waiting for ?"

"Yes," Cang Yuze said, a small smile appearing on his face. "I spent years looking at the surface, waiting for the day the sky would open and give you back to . I had to beco strong. I had to beco a prince so that when you finally fell into this world, I would have the power to keep you safe."

Yue Yue felt a tear roll down her cheek. She leaned forward and pressed her forehead against his. "You waited so long for , Zeze. I am so sorry you were lonely."

Cang Yuze pulled her into a hug, resting his chin on her shoulder. "It doesn’t matter now. You are here, and you are mine. Every year I spent waiting was worth it for this mont. We are together, and our family is growing."

He looked down at her large stomach and smiled. "And soon, we will have even more family to love. Your mother would be very happy to see you now, Yue Yue. She knew you were a survivor."

Yue Yue hugged him back tightly. She felt lucky. Even though she was far from ho, her mother’s love had reached across worlds to send her the person she needed most.

She felt safe in Cang Yuze’s arms, knowing that everything that happened was all part of a bigger plan to keep her loved.

"I love you, Zeze," she whispered.

"I love you more, Yue Yue," he replied. "Now, let’s get so rest. We have a lot of work to do when Xing Luoye wakes up tomorrow."

Back in Xing Luoye’s room, his fingers suddenly twitched. His pale eyelids fluttered before he slowly opened his eyes.

There was no confusion in his gaze. Instead, his eyes were sharp and cold, like a predator that had been feigning sleep.

He slowly sat up, his muscles stiff but no longer screaming in agony. The sickly black veins that had once reached his jaw were now completely gone.

He turned his head and looked at the small, half empty glass bottle left on the side table. It was the remains of the antidote Cang Yuze had spent a week creating.

Xing Luoye stared at it for a long ti. He knew how much effort, blood, and rare materials had gone into that single dose.

He closed his eyes and began to circulate the internal energy in his core.

Usually, this would cause a massive backlash of pain from the King Scorpion’s venom. But today, the power flowed through his veins like a smooth, rushing river. There was no discomfort. There was no burning heat.

Xing Luoye stood up from the bed. His tall fra was still a bit lean from the weeks of illness, but his aura was returning to its peak.

He walked to the table and traced the edge of the glass bottle with his thumb. His eyes flashed with a complicated emotion...gratitude, but also a deep, hidden resolve.

He looked toward the door where Yue Yue had recently exited. A soft expression crossed his face for a split second before it turned into a mask of cold determination.

He reached into his own private spatial storage and took out a teleportation scroll.

He gripped the scroll tightly. He looked at the room one last ti, his gaze lingering on the chair where Yue Yue had sat to watch over him. He whispered a na under his breath, so quiet that only the walls could hear it.

"Wait for , Yue Yue," he said.

With a sharp movent, he tore the scroll in half. A sudden burst of light exploded in the center of the room. The space began to twist and ripple like water. In an instant, the light swallowed his tall figure completely.

When the glow faded, the room was empty. Xing Luoye had disappeared from the Sea Empire Palace without leaving a single trace or a word for the guards.
