Bu Yaolian shook her head. “But I like Shao Zun.”
“So, our situations are different.”
Bu Yaolian smiled. “That’s right. You have an independent character, which is why you’re lucky… That’s what I like and admire about you the most.”
Gu Bailu smiled as well. “That’s just the bright side that you see. In fact, there’s a high chance that things won’t go as planned. My master is still trapped on Futu Island, and my parents’ souls are still in my bracelet. I don’t know if I should give them a chance to be reincarnated or keep them here… My child needs to be protected, and the only thing that I am assured of is that my man is devoted to me. But you know how he is. He doesn’t care about anyone, and he’s extremely cocky. He’ll offend a lot of people that way. If you think about it, my luck is actually pretty bad.”
Bu Yaolian patted her back. “I know it’s not easy for you either. Why is it so hard for people? Do immortals have a better life?”
“Hehe, gods and immortals have their own worries. It’s just that human beings are a little more enlightened and aren’t affected by worries that are just a little more complicated. When the temptation is too much, gods and immortals can still dig their own graves.”
Gu Bailu was self-derisive. She had such good trump cards in her previous life, yet she made a thorough mess of things.
“Gods and immortals have their desires.
“Every living thing wants something, unless they don’t have their own ideas.”
Ideas were good things. They formed the cycle of life and death in the six realms, and all things of the world.
“When you have nothing to do, think about what you have and what other people don’t have, and you’ll feel even happier. You’re an open-minded girl; you’re just trapped by your emotions right now.”
Bu Yaolian pouted. “I don’t want to be trapped.”
“Then enjoy it. If you can afford to have it, you can afford to lose it. Why look to the future? Can’t you just enjoy it now? You have to enjoy life when you’re happy.”
Bu Yaolian sat up straight. “You’re right. I have to enjoy life. Who knows if I’ll die tomorrow? Here… Cheers to life.”
Gu Bailu’s lips twitched. This girl had a unique way of comforting herself.
However, it made sense. If she lived every day as if it was the end of the world, she would get through it.
Seeing that she was a little tipsy, Gu Bailu hurried to say, “Have you gotten over it? You can sleep if you want. Go back. If you don’t go back and sober up, see what’ll happen to you when Shao Zun comes back tomorrow.”
Bu Yaolian swayed and stood up. “Yes, I have to go back and sober up, or Shao Zun will kill me.”
Su Shenfan didn’t allow her to drink.
Gu Bailu smiled. “Ah Luo, send Miss Lian’er back. Have someone help her wash up before she goes to sleep.”
“Yes, my lady.”
Bu Yaolian staggered back to Qinghua Palace with Ah Luo’s help.
On the way, Bu Yaolian asked drowsily, “Ah Luo, are you going to follow your lady for the rest of your life?”
“Ah Luo belongs to my lady.”
“Ah Luo, where’s your family?”
“Ah Luo’s family is my lady.”
“Your lady has her own life. She doesn’t belong to you alone.”
“Ah Luo is my lady’s alone.”
“Don’t you want your lady to belong to you alone?”
“No, I just want her to be happy.”
Bu Yaolian patted her shoulder. “Ah Luo, this is true love! Selflessness!”
Ah Luo was stumped. What true love? What selflessness?
Ah Luo didn’t have that.
Bu Yaolian patted her chest proudly. “I want to be like you. True love is selfless!”
