Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor Chapter 1259 First Conversation

Wang Wei looked at her, the woman he had spent the past few billion years and more thinking about it. The one that forced him to dream just so he could rember her touch. She was as beautiful as he rembered, maybe even more so since this one differed from the one he married.

This Wu Hong was colder and lonelier, and she did not hide her power or commanding presence. It was apparent to him that this one had a wall surrounding her regarding their relationship. However, a smile crept in the corner of his mouth after seeing her hair color.

"Sorry about that — it was just instinct," Wang Wei finally said before sitting down again in the water.

"I understand your situation is weird, but be mindful that I am not her," Wu Hong calmly stated.

"So, she did leave you her mory?"

"She did, but I sealed most of them," Wu Hong nodded.

"Why?"

"She's biased, and I don't know how she ca to be."

Wang Wei nodded. When it ca to the ti shenanigans that his future self was involved in, his response was usually to begrudgingly go along with it, putting so level of trust in himself and his future. However, it seems that Wu Hong's approach is to be on guard and show no trust whatsoever, which is a fair response.

The dinsion suddenly beca awkwardly quiet, with the sound of water the only thing echoing in the surroundings.

"Why are you suddenly so quiet? From the mories I kept, you're a very chatty person, especially when you're around her," Wu Hong said.

Wang Wei sighed. "You must give so grace, as the situation is quite disheartening. I've lived two lives, and it seems my love life might be ill-fated."

"How so?"

"In my first life, my family constantly pressured to start a family. They even wanted to force into a political marriage. I died young and without anyone to call a partner.

"Then, in my second life, I finally found a woman that made my heart beat, a woman I want to spend eternity with, but what happened? Well, it turned out she's a clone of a powerful cultivator, and not only is she a clone, but the clone of the future self of that cultivator — a clone that she has no mories or knowledge of making.

"So, the situation turns into the fact that I may lose the love of my life if I don't play my cards correctly. If it isn't ill-fated, I don't know what it is."

"Stating it out loud does put everything into a strange perspective," Wu Hong nodded. She knew the situation was ssed up, but it truly dawned on her until he explained it in these words.

"I want to ask you sothing," Wang Wei continued. "Do I have a chance?"

Wu Hong played with her hair, "I think I've already given you the answer to this question."

"But it's different if I hear it directly from you."

"You should understand that most won do not communicate directly."

"But you're not any woman, are you?" Wang Wei rebutted.

"Fair point," Wu Hong nodded. "The answer is yes, but I want you to understand sothing clearly: fate has no bearing on whether we end up together. No one is entitled to — not even Grand Dao."

"That's understandable. I promise to leave you alone if you ask to."

"Giving up so easily?" she smirked. Wang Wei's heart skipped a beat. She was indeed different, but once in a while, he could detect a sliver of his Wu Hong.

"I believe that's called respective boundaries,' he replied with a more confident smile.

Wu Hong calmly raised her right leg to wash it.

"I have lived a long life, well, at least compared to you. In my long cultivation journey, things have beco dull — a fog of continuous gray. But I must admit that the mories of my supposedly other self brought so shade of colors to my life."

She looked him in the eyes.

"Can you be the one to accompany throughout this journey, or will my life continue as it were before? I'm fine with either outco."

Wang Wei nodded as he now understood her mindset. The cultivation path is long and arduous, so people have Dao Companions to accompany them. However, soone like Wu Hong, who has already traveled so far, is alright with finding soone to accompany her from now on or continue doing what she's been doing. However, that soone cannot be just anyone else.

"In that case, let's start from the basics," Wang Wei said, deciding to take a regular approach to a truly complex situation.

"Hi, my na is Wang Wei. It's nice to et you."

Wu Hong looked at him strangely before a soft smile appeared in the corner of her mouth: "Wu Hong and the pleasure is also mine."

"Favorite color?"

"Red and white."

Wang Wei nodded. His Wu Hong's favorite colors were black and red, but it's normal for people's colors to change over ti, especially with cultivators' long lifespans.

"Mine is purple and gray," he added. "I'm 1.95 ters tall. You?"

"The sa."

"My favorite tea is Longjue tea. Yours?"

"Snow-Trail Tea."

'This answer was also different as this tea was her third favorite,' Wang Wei thought. "Favorite food?"

"That would be Dragon Heart, Phoenix Liver, with a side of Dream Rice," Wu Hong answered. "And it cannot just be any dragons. It's the Water Dragon from the Dragon Blessing World. The Phoenix also has to be prepared with Five Elents Materials. Otherwise, its fla Dao will reduce the taste by a lot."

"A food connoisseur, heh?" Wang Wei stated. His Wu Hong was into food, but she never showed him it was to this extent. However, she always said he had never tasted genuinely delicious food.

"What made the dragon from that world so delicious?"

They are the protagonist of their world, so that blessing adds to their taste," Wu Hong explained. "Additionally, the Water Dragons in that world receive a lot of worship due to their control of rivers, oceans, and rains — the incense further elevated the taste. "And as you know, water is the soft elent, which makes the dragon's at incredibly tender," Wu Hong explained. "One ti, I hunted three simultaneously and transferred all the taste into a single dish — it was truly subli. Oh, how I wish I could taste it again."

"You can look forward to it once you return to your full strength."

Wu Hong sighed. "It's not that simple. I'm pretty sure one of those damn dragons acquired a transcendent thod. Given how much I hunted them down back then, I must be on so kind of list in that world."

"That's a sha, but one day, we'll also reach that level, and we can hunt those dragons together," Wang Wei said, and Wu Hong noticed the "we" he secretly put in that sentence but did not ntion it.

"What about the Phoenix Liver and Dream Rice?"

"The liver corresponds to Wood in the five elents, so after cooking, it basically turns into a vegetable dish," Wu Hong explained. "As for the Dream rice, that's sothing I got from another Paragon who also loves food. He made everyone in his Grandmist Wheel dream about good food and turn that energy into nourishnt to cultivate a rice field.

"I added my specialty to the Six Emotions Seven Desire Spices — and it elevates the rice to another level."

"Wouldn't the negative emotions ruin the taste?"

"I can separate them, but even with them, it doesn't,' Wu Hong explained. "Using them gives the sensation when you're eating sothing so good, but you know it's terrible for your body."

"That sounds heavenly." Wang Wei almost drooled thinking about it.

"It is," Wu Hong nodded. "But enough about . What's your favorite food?"

"I was going to say braised beef, specifically, the one you made for by infusing the essence of 12 Tier 9 Demon Bulls into it, but I feel a sense of inferiority after what you just said."

"As you should," Wu Hong said. "That is a pathetic choice."

"And who is to bla?" he stared at her. "Yourself, of course," she replied. "You could have hunted a few demon Empyreans and learned to make excellent als with those materials. From what I rember, you had many unique ideas on the culinary arts. So, it's your fault for not pursuing this path and relying on , I an, her, to dictate your standard of food."

"Is this a challenge?" Wang Wei asked.

"I'm just stating the truth. It's not my fault if that hurts you."

"Okay, you've done it — you've successfully struck my pride," Wang Wei sneered. "I want you to rember this day. One day, I'll make a al way better than your favorite or most outstanding culinary achievents. I hope when that day cos, your pride won't get in the way of admitting it is better."

"No need to worry about that," Wu Hong chuckled, her smile brightening the room. "Since that day will never co."
