Chapter 630: Embrace

[Confirm Heroic Spirit Principle]

[Bond value has reached the maximum.]

[Acquired bond skill: Dragon Slayer (Extreme)]

[You have greatly increased the damage that can be caused by beings with dragon attributes!]

…

Bai Wei was stunned.

This memory is a little long and a little short.

Unlike before, this memory flashback is very clear!

Perhaps due to a connection with the heroic spirit, he saw images supplemented with memories from Xia Longque, giving the story two perspectives.

Remember, Bai Wei’s memories were only sealed after number thirty.

Therefore, memories after that can be preserved more completely.

However, memories before number thirty have deviations because of experiences spanning many centuries. Related memories have accumulated too much and cannot be perfectly recalled. For example, in the twenty-first century of Chao Lu, Bai Wei’s memories already have serious omissions and fragments, which are complemented by Chao Lu’s own reincarnation memories.

This time, he recalled and felt about half of his life, which was very rare.

The first half of the memories were not very clear, just briefly mentioned in words, only reading it once didn’t leave a deep impression. It can only be said that he understood his choice of becoming a jester and a deceiver.

In the latter half, with Xia Longque’s participation, the memories became vivid and accurate, allowing a deeper understanding of the emotional journey of the two individuals, including Bai Wei’s difficult decisions and many conflicts in this life.

In fact, Xia Longque’s life was much longer than this segment.

Just because Bai Wei left too early, her actual life experience was less than a tenth, with more than half of it being omitted.

This is what a heroic spirit is all about.

When she was alive, she was a famous strong individual, almost single-handedly hunting down the forces of nature, ending the concept of nature worship, and bringing the dragon race to extinction… Although there were some exaggerations, the value was still very high. Even after reincarnation in a different world, her soul’s memories remained very clear and were recognized, gaining the Heroic Spirit Principle.

Although she was of lower rank.

It’s all just of lower rank.

Grass.

What kind of weird heroes are the top heroic spirits?

Bai Wei touched the Crouching Tiger Sword and now understood its origins. In fact, it was his own sword, forged as the dragon-slaying blade. In his hands, however, it had never slain a dragon. It was taken away by the first generation of the Crouching Tiger in the future to fight demons and monsters. After being passed down through generations, it returned to Bai Wei’s hands, where its journey seemed to end.

After that, it should stay by his side all the time, never to be lost again.

In the past, due to damage, it could never be complete, until recently when it was restored and rejuvenated. This sword seemed to have been with him for a very long time. It was forged in the sixteenth century, but perhaps it appeared not only in two lifetimes but maybe in reincarnations after that too?

Bai Wei felt very conflicted.

The previous Xia Longque was still a stranger, but in a moment, a lifetime had passed, and the distance between them needed to be redefined.

If all humans could regain memories from past lives, society would probably be thrown into chaos as it would mean reshuffling of interpersonal relationships.

For example, they say daughters were lovers in past lives. If a daughter also calls her father "dear," that would be quite a funny situation.

Luckily, Xia Longque didn’t have any tendency towards being disrespectful to her elders, or rather, she simply didn’t understand or care about such things.

Throughout, the relationship between them remained clear, as master and disciple, nothing more.

Bai Wei needed to use Longque, so he had to be firm, as his goals didn’t allow for any softness towards Xia Longque.

The conditions for a conflict between master and disciple are neither necessary nor sufficient.

So, she was still well within the safety zone, much safer than Liu Xiaowan at least.

As a fully awakened adult heroic spirit with memories intact, she underwent reincarnation in her peak state, retaining much of her original personality and habits.

If he were to calmly inform her, perhaps there wouldn’t be much risk, right?

Bai Wei pondered, contemplated, and assessed.

It wasn’t clear if she had noticed anything.

The heroic spirit was very sensitive to souls, she triggered an exclamation mark. Saki Jingūji was aware, but that was also because she didn’t have memories from past lives, being young and inexperienced, her reactions were naturally stronger.

Unlike Saki Jingūji, Xia Longque had been through this before, being a mature elder sister who had expanded her inner self. It was unlikely for her to react like a first-time girl with blushing and heart racing. Maybe she really didn’t feel anything?

Does she not feel anything?

I take a peek…

Bai Wei’s gaze shifted from the Crouching Tiger Sword to Xia Longque, pretending to casually glance aside.

Their gazes met.

Her eyes were like mirrors, shining in the sunlight. She always had a pair of beautiful eyes, clear like the sky. There was no trace of the qualities of a heroic spirit in her eyes – no majesty, power, or dragons; only an endless empty world. The little girl stood there, as if waiting for someone to take her home.

Indeed, after this experience, she couldn’t possibly have no reaction.

Bai Wei wasn’t trying to escape, he just felt a bit complex, not fully prepared.

The hidden past under the light purple exclamation mark was even heavier than he had imagined.

He needs to be mentally prepared.

But Xia Longque didn’t need to. Ten seconds ago, before Bai Wei’s complicated feelings, Xia Longque’s gaze had already landed on him.

Looking meticulously in every detail.

Why didn’t he notice it immediately?

If the master was younger, if his face didn’t have those scars, if his expression was more sunny… their appearance was the same.

She clasped her hands, supported her chin, leaned her elbow on the desk, tilted her head, then flashed a smile, relaxed and easy, as if released from heavy work, tingling with a sense of relief. The electric fan lazily rotated, her smile was unusually lazy, like a sun-warmed blanket, you knew it was warm and comfortable without lying on it.

Xia Longque spoke softly.

"The nightmare, is it over?"

The question was puzzling, and Xue Hanlei looked at her strangely.

"Yes, the nightmare is over," Bai Wei replied in this way.

"Can you give me a hug, please?" Xia Longque asked cautiously and eagerly.

Bai Wei stayed silent, searching for some distance.

But the heroic spirit gave him no choice, stood up directly, walked over silently, and the table was cut in half without a sound, collapsing on one side. What stood in her way was no longer there.

Despite the long time passing by, she never stopped searching for the truth and that figure. Not even a table could stop her from embracing her family… she was unwilling to go around the table, a mere few steps away, showing her urgency.

She hugged him.

So devoted, as if no one else was around.

Xia Longque was now an adult heroic spirit, a mature big sister. She was no longer a little girl or a teenager, and even in their past lives, they haven’t hugged many times. The most unforgettable hug was when her hand pierced through Bai Wei’s chest.

This time is different.

She seemed to want to cover up the past bad memories with a long-lost hug tightly, feeling deeply devoted as she hugged the other person. Besides that, she didn’t know how to express her feelings at the moment, the joy, the regret, the guilt, and the precious feeling of regaining something lost.

The heroic spirit is heaven’s favorite.

But the heroic spirit also carries the cross of original sin. When memories awaken, personality changes, and one may feel lost in irreversible regrets.

They woke up in a rushed era.

Heroic spirits from all over the world would envy her. This kind of opportunity will not come again.

It’s a miracle of astronomical proportion.

Have you ever felt this way before? Only by holding onto that person tightly can you be sure that you are still alive.

Only then can you be sure that this is reality, not just a beautiful dream you imagined.

Xia Longque took a step back, their foreheads almost touching, noses brushing, eyes turning red.

"It’s really you."

"Mmm…"

Bai Wei paused briefly, then lifted his hand, gently placing it on her cheek.

"This time, I’m not lying to you."
