Chapter 1374: Dead Knot!

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly. “In fact, your grandson was dead by then. He was poisoned… Otherwise, I would have been absorbed by him, not take over his body instead. However, I didn’t know what was happening. I just woke up and saw the sky of another world…

“The poison in his body was incurable in the Land of Han-Yang. I activated the last bit of my soul power to wipe the poison out. The body belonged to the weak, which meant I was a shrimp with almost no cultivation capability.

“It wasn’t the worst after all. I became the Xiao Monarch from nothing. So I decided to restart as a man with nothing, cultivate again, climb again, rise again…”

He looked up and stared at the Moon Queen. “If I have a choice, I don’t want to be somebody else’s son. I am Ye Xiao! Xiao Monarch Ye Xiao! Do you understand?”

The Moon Queen was stunned. She knew what he was saying, but she didn’t know if she understood it.

“I have been living my second life. Step by step, I climbed up faster than I expected… At the same time, I felt the love from Ye Nantian to his son deeper and deeper. I felt it. It is on me… In the end, I accepted the family, to be the young man they wanted…

“As I said, if I can choose, I would choose not to enter this body. I didn’t kill Ye Xiao… I took over the body, and I took over the love of a father. As Xiao Monarch, I have longed for love in a family. I can never repay the debt!”

Ye Xiao smiled bitterly. “When I accepted them as my parents, when I was ready to live as their new person… I was exposed… They are smart and intelligent people…

“I know they are feeling extreme pain in the hearts… They thought I killed their son. They thought I robbed the body from their son and lied to them in their son’s body. No matter how much I have done, nothing is more important than the fact that I have replaced their real son…”

He smiled. “Do you know? I am an orphan. I don’t have parents… I have been living alone for a long time. I wanted to have a family so bad! Now I do… I am afraid… I don’t want to lose them…

“I am going to lose them after all. I won’t get another chance like this!”

Ye Xiao stared at the Moon Queen. “I have answered your question. I don’t think I owe anybody anything.

“However, I do have a few questions myself. I don’t think anybody can give me an answer. Can you?

“I don’t understand. I have done something which followed my true feelings. I have done so much to get them together again. If not for me, Ye Nantian wouldn’t be able to return to the Qing-Yun Realm. If not for me, Ye Clan would have been destroyed. If not for me, Yue Gongxue would still be imprisoned. If not for me… I… What am I talking about? These are what I should do. I didn’t mean… I didn’t mean it… I just don’t understand… Why? Why do they only see the fact that I have replaced their son, but didn’t see all those I did as their son?”

Ye Xiao laughed bitterly and fiercely said, “What should I do?”

The Moon Queen sighed. She didn’t know what to say.

The body was her grandson.

Yet the soul wasn’t.

Perhaps the soul was inside him for some time but left in the end.

She couldn’t accept Ye Xiao as her grandson, but she couldn’t deny that he was her grandson!

She couldn’t deny what Xiao Monarch had done for Ye Nantian and Yue Gongxue. If not for this young man, things would go along the old track—Ye Clan destroyed, Yue Gongxue imprisoned, Ye Nantian expelled out the realm…

If Ye Xiao were still the useless young man, he wouldn’t be able to do any of the things Xiao Monarch had done!

She didn’t know what to say.

“Afterward…”

“Afterward…”

Ye Xiao and the Moon Queen both spoke the same word and stopped at the same time.

They looked at each other and fell back to the awkward silence.

There was no hate, no grudge, and no doubt in the Moon Queen’s eyes anymore, but Ye Xiao was still just a stranger to her!

Ye Xiao looked at the Moon Queen, who was his grandmother, and he felt pain in the heart. However, he was enlightened.

“There is nothing afterward.” Ye Xiao peacefully stood up as if a bleeding wound suddenly disappeared. He turned around and blandly said, “My parents… Ahem… They have a new kid… They will have their own son.”

“The kid will be born very soon.”

He walked out in a stride, his voice sounding, “I… maybe… perhaps… I am sure there is no afterward for me…”

The Moon Queen was stunned. She watched him walk away farther and farther.

The shadow of his back looked lonely.

It was solitary.

It felt like he was abandoned.

She wanted to comfort him, but she couldn’t say a word.

She understood how Ye Xiao felt.

He was full-heartedly loving Ye Clan and his parents. The Moon Queen knew it. She believed it.

However, she didn’t know where he should be in this relationship.

The reality was cruel. Even though Ye Xiao wanted to be Yue Gongxue’s son, did Yue Gongxue accept him as her real son?

Was it possible?

No!

The Moon Queen knew her daughter so well. Even though Yue Gongxue could accept the fact that Ye Xiao took over her son’s body, she wouldn’t accept him as her son.

When the Moon Queen knew that the young man in front of her was her grandson’s body, she couldn’t feel any closer to him. All she could feel was cold and doubt.

The cold and doubt only hurt him even more.

He had lost hope on this.

It was a dead knot!

It was a problem nobody could solve!
