Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1286: Jun Moyan Rescues Bai Tang and the Others
"For tens of thousands of years, there was no light in my life. If it weren’t for this time, I think I would have continued like this, living day in and day out in the Underworld, without desires or sorrow, without joy or pain."
He withdrew his gaze from the overwhelming redness and turned to face Wen Xiao’ai, taking her other small hand.
"Xiaoguai, for tens of thousands of years, I always thought I had everything, but only now do I realize I have nothing. You are the only one truly mine in all these years."
"But I also only have you, understand?"
Wen Xiao’ai’s nose tingled, her eyes reddened. Having grown up in the embrace of love, she couldn’t fathom the loneliness and darkness Jun Moyan had endured for those countless years.
"Xiaoguai will always be with you. For hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years to come, no matter how long, Xiaoguai will stay by your side, and with the baby, you won’t be alone anymore."
Jun Moyan smiled.
"Alright."

Nighttime
Within the Soul Suppressing Hall, a surge of spiritual power mixed with ghostly energy roiled and surged, scattering all souls and phantoms within a ten-mile radius.
At the very center, Bai Tang, Ais, Gu Sheng, and the Drunkard were enveloped by this powerful spiritual energy, suspended in mid-air.
On the high platform, Jun Moyan was casting spells to heal them.
Originally, Nie Jiuque only intended to extract a soul or soul fragment from them that belonged to the Soul-suppressing Beast.
Unexpectedly, there was a mishap; the main bodies of Gu Sheng and the others were severely injured by the spiritual power that erupted at the moment of the Soul-suppressing Beast’s rebirth.
Seeing that the time was right, Jun Moyan took out the Soul-guarding Blood Red Lotus that he had previously asked Feng Liyan to find.
He took four petals, refined them, and placed them respectively into each of their bodies.
Bai Tang and Ais’s spiritual senses were slowly recovering, but there was something different about Gu Sheng and the Drunkard.
Jun Moyan first probed the Drunkard’s soul body and found his condition to be quite peculiar.
Faintly, he could sense the presence of a Fox Demon’s aura on his soul body.
Jun Moyan suddenly remembered when he had previously asked the Drunkard if there could be a possibility between a human and a demon, to which the Drunkard replied, "There will be no result."
Aiko?
So the story he told was true, after all.
Not only true but the protagonist of the story was himself...
Is that the reason he’s taken to drinking all these years?
So...
Jun Moyan’s gaze upon the Drunkard gradually became complex.
But he soon let go.
Even if there was intent behind approaching him, what did it matter? The Drunkard had never harmed him all these years.
So his sudden recovery from illness was due to the Fox Demon who had died?
More accurately, it was the remnant soul of the Fox Demon.
That’s why he broke down emotionally.
So his approach and long-term concealment beside him all these years were ordered by Nie Jiuque?
So the deal struck was with the Fox Demon, right?
Yet, in the end, Nie Jiuque failed to help him revive the Fox Demon.
Jun Moyan then turned to examining Gu Sheng’s soul body and discovered Gu Sheng’s lifespan was less than a year and a half.
What was going on?
Jun Moyan quickly realized that when the soul fragment of the Soul-suppressing Beast was still within Gu Sheng, his soul body had already suffered serious damage.
What had happened?
Jun Moyan immediately went to the Netherworld and found the King of the Netherworld, swiftly discovering that Gu Sheng had once been to the Netherworld after leaving his body.
It happened two months after Gu Yao and Shangguan Yu broke up and Gu Sheng imprisoned Gu Yao.
So at that time, Gu Yao... committed suicide? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Gu Sheng went to the Netherworld to find Gu Yao’s soul fragment.
Did he know the cost of doing so?
Did he know he might not be able to return, that he only had less than five years left at the time, that after his death he wouldn’t enter the reincarnation cycle, not even leaving behind a soul, and without a next life?
