In his mind, there were pits full of skeletons... and rivers of blood; none of these were the outcos Fang Yu desired.
Killing, if it could solve problems,
then the humans of this world would have long been extinct.
Fang Yu knew that Xie Daoyun had sensed the Dragon Emperor’s personality fading from him... or rather, the cold, resolute nature, the devilish side of murdering without blinking, no longer existed.
However...
Xie Daoyun actually admired the darker side of the Dragon Emperor.
Humans, truly unfathomable, especially won.
...
"Forgive , Your Majesty! Ice Woman admits her fault, Ice Woman should not have questioned Your Majesty!" Hearing Fang Yu’s scolding, Xie Daoyun shuddered and knelt down.
Fang Yu turned around, looking indifferently at Xie Daoyun.
Seeing that Fang Yu remained silent, Xie Daoyun continued, "Ice Woman deserves to die... should not have looked directly at Your Majesty, it is an act of insubordination! Please forgive , Your Majesty!"
With that, she stretched out her arms and crawled forward...
It would be a pity for this white robe to touch the ground.
Fang Yu sighed and said, "Stand up and talk."
Upon hearing this,
Xie Daoyun was overjoyed.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Fang Yu knew that Xie Daoyun was a capable aide of the Dragon Emperor... If he could not fully win her over to his side, it would truly be a sha... But Fang Yu was also aware that there were differences between himself and the Dragon Emperor.
Especially after returning from Taia Mountain.
He then felt that he did not want to be a Dragon Emperor, nor did he want to repeat his mistakes!
If it were not for isolating the emotional inheritance in those mory fragnts early on... he might have been completely replaced by the Dragon Emperor without even realizing it!
From this perspective... Fang Yu did not like so of the ways the Dragon Emperor handled things!
Sotis Fang Yu would wonder—who am I, the Dragon Emperor? Or myself... This answer, from the first ti he t Xie Daoyun, to the Lotus Pond behind Taia Mountain, gradually beca clear.
Xie Daoyun stood respectfully by his side, much more restrained than before.
Fang Yu sighed:
"I understand your feelings..."
His tone paused, then continued, "People change... Ever since I died once, I’ve understood a truth, personality really determines fate."
Xie Daoyun looked blankly at Fang Yu, not understanding what he ant.
Fang Yu explained:
"Those who are naturally lazy are destined not to succeed; those who like to eat at will often go buy at; those who like to walk dogs will buy dogs; those who like to kill... will ultimately think about killing; no matter what kind, their personalities have determined their fates. Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this,
Xie Daoyun nodded gently, thoughtfully saying, "Ice Woman understands."
"It’s good that you understand. In the past, when this Emperor unified the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, why was I ultimately betrayed? Have you ever thought about the reasons behind it?"
Xie Daoyun was stunned.
Fang Yu then said, "It was because of this Emperor’s arbitrary decisions... This ti, having the chance to start over, how could I possibly make the sa mistakes again. Do you understand my hard-earned lesson?"
Listening to Fang Yu’s analysis.
Xie Daoyun had a sudden epiphany, like the pouring of divine nectar, then quickly bowed to apologize, "Forgive , Your Majesty, it’s all because Ice Woman was too impulsive!"
She of course knew why the Dragon Emperor had fallen.
His swift and resolute thods had offended too many people.
So much so that a portion of people harbored resentnt and conspired together.
Among them was Empress Ziwei.
"People will eventually change..."
Fang Yu sighed, "Ever since I found out that I am the reincarnation of the Dragon Emperor, my life, everything, has undergone earth-shattering changes. Before that, I had my own life, I had my friends and brothers. Sotis, I would miss the days before I set foot on the path of Martial Arts, fighting alongside my brothers in Jiangzhou. When happy, we would drink till drunk in the bars; when upset, we’d vent our anger on our enemies; my fists were my only reliance, yet they also led to the roots of Martial Arts..."
"However... this process is just too inconceivable, up to this point, I still don’t know if I have truly embarked on the path of Martial Arts. Perhaps from the beginning, I was already on the wrong path. This is destined to be an extraordinary journey."
His voice gradually lowered and said: "Ice Woman."
"Ice Woman is present," Xie Daoyun respectfully said.
"If one day... you find that I am completely different from the Dragon Emperor you imagined, would you still follow ?" Fang Yu asked earnestly.
Xie Daoyun was montarily taken aback.
She didn’t know how to answer.
In her mind, she always thought of restoring the scene of unifying the world, with the Dragon Emperor standing at the highest point, overlooking all living beings. She didn’t need to do anything, didn’t even need to consider the suffering of the world, just quietly standing beside the Dragon Emperor was enough...
"It seems you have other thoughts..."
Fang Yu’s tone beca serious and earnest, "I’ll give you two choices... one, stay; two, leave. After leaving, I will not interfere in your life and everything, we will not have any more intersections. If we et on the battlefield in the future, you don’t need to hold back against , and I will not hold back against you either..."
Upon hearing this.
Xie Daoyun was greatly shocked, imdiately knelt down, and said: "Ice Woman dares not! Ice Woman knows her fault! Ice Woman is willing to follow Your Majesty, throughout the generations, never to regret."
Her words were powerful and resounding.
Fang Yu was also taken aback and said, "Are you sure?"
"Ice Woman has been sure since a thousand years ago... Although, Your Majesty has always forgotten the promise made to Ice Woman. But this cannot be blad on Your Majesty, just that Ice Woman lacked the opportunity."
This was Xie Daoyun ntioning that promise again.
Fang Yu frowned and said, "What promise? Even if I don’t recall it now, if possible, I can fulfill that promise right now. Tell , what promise?"
Upon hearing this.
Xie Daoyun shook her head.
A trace of calmness appeared on her delicate features and said: "It’s no longer important... because, Your Majesty has already resolved all the doubts in my heart. That promise too has disappeared along with the doubts."
"Since you refuse to say, then let it be..."
Fang Yu sighed and said, "If one day in the future, I rember, I will fulfill that promise. n of the Fang Family are not known for breaking their word. You follow , how can I possibly mistreat you?"
Xie Daoyun was deeply moved, but only softly said: "Thank Your Majesty."
"Alright, rise. It’s better to address as ’Sir’ in front of others. This ’Your Majesty,’ I find it uncomfortable to hear."
"Yes!"
After saying that.
Fang Yu did not stay on the rooftop.
He turned and went downstairs.
Just as he descended.
A descendant of the Fang Family hurried over and said, "Mr. Fang, I’ve been waiting for you."
"What is it?"
"This is a note for you, received by the doorman, I thought it must be important, so I hurriedly brought it over."
"A note?"
Fang Yu took the note, it read: Dynasty Entertainnt Club of Jiangzhou, tomorrow night at eight, don’t miss it. Ziwei.
