It’s Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future - Chapter 1490

Chapter 1490: Do you regret it? Was it worth it?

The world here was silent, so silent that Ling Lan felt suffocated.

Was she dead? There was no Ox-Head or Horse-Face—guardians of hell. There was no so-called hell either…

Little Four said that once one’s spiritual power dissipates, they will be completely dead. Ling Lan silently observed this tranquil world, beginning to consider whether this was the last moment before her spiritual power dissipated.

But why would my spiritual power produce such a world at the very end?

Ling Lan was perplexed.

Suddenly, two streaks of light appeared on her left and right. It was as if two paths appeared out of thin air in the tranquil space.

Are these here to guide me?

Ling Lan looked at the two paths, which only slightly differed from each other in terms of brightness, and frowned slightly.

Staying here was not a solution. Ling Lan took a step forward, unwilling to give up. However, she realized that she couldn’t step out at all. It was as if she was restricted.

She tried to step onto the dark path on the left, but there was no resistance at all.

It really wanted her to take this path.

Ling Lan was just about to step onto this dark path when her heart skipped a beat. The step she took came to an abrupt stop.

Right on the heels of that, she moved 180 degrees horizontally and stepped onto the brighter path.

The moment she stepped on the bright path, the other dark path instantly disappeared as if it had never appeared before.

Is this a choice? Ling Lan pondered.

Since it had already been decided, Ling Lan would not dwell on it no matter the outcome. She instantly forgot about the dark path, and decisively made her way along the bright path.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ling Lan felt as if she had experienced her entire life. The long period of time and the unchanging environment had already become a tranquil and silent world. If not for the terrifying endurance she had gained from her two lifetimes and the training she endured in this life of hers, any other ordinary person would probably have been driven mad by this and completely collapsed.

Ling Lan closed her eyes slightly. When she opened them again, she was still calm and indifferent, as if she had never suffered prolonged torture.

After a long time, a deep sigh sounded in the tranquil space.

Ling Lan didn’t seem to hear it. She continued to walk forward with her original pace.

The sigh did not stop. Every now and then, it would ring out, gradually reaching Ling Lan’s ears from afar, as if reminding Ling Lan not to ignore its existence.

Ling Lan wasn’t moved at all. She continued walking on the path at her own pace.

“Boss Lan!” The voice was the first to lose its cool and suddenly shouted.

A cold light flashed through Ling Lan’s eyes. Suddenly, she reached out and pulled out someone by the ear from the void.

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…” That person grabbed Ling Lan’s hand that was pulling at his ear and jumped out with a loud cry.

“Why are you here?” Ling Lan let go of her hand and asked calmly.

“I’m here to see you.” That person had a smile on his face, just like before.

“This isn’t somewhere you should be, Xie Yi,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“I’m not supposed to be here, but Boss Lan, you should know your current situation. Why?” Xie Yi shrugged nonchalantly.

“You mean I’m dead?” Ling Lan was not surprised. Wasn’t this supposed to be the ending?

“That’s true and that’s not true. It should be said that you stepped onto the two realms of Yin and Yang, so you will meet us who are also in the two realms of Yin and Yang,” Xie Yi smiled and said.

“You guys? Xie’er?” Ling Lan raised her eyebrows.

“It’s not just Xie’er. There are others too…” Xie Yi replied. “I didn’t expect you to choose this path. If you chose the other path, you wouldn’t have met me. It seems like I’m luckier than Xie’er. Hahahaha. ”

“The other path has Xie’er?” Ling Lan’s heart thumped.

Xie Yi didn’t reply and just smiled at Ling Lan.

“There are others… Xie’er won’t be the only one you’ll see.” Ling Lan pondered over Xie Yi’s words, and then thought about how Xie’er represented Xie Yi’s dark side. Then, did that dark path contain such existences?

“Since the person I’m meeting is you, it’s fate’s choice. Speak.” Putting aside the enlightenment she had just received, Ling Lan turned to look at Xie Yi.

Xie Yi laughed and shook his head. “I can’t hide it from you after all. I just want to ask, Boss Lan, have you ever regretted it?”

“Regret?” Xie Yi’s question made Ling Lan pause for a moment. She seriously thought back to the choices she had made in this life. Although not every choice was correct, every choice was what she wanted to do. Even if the result might cost her life, she did not regret it.

“No!” replied Ling Lan decisively.

“No?” Xie Yi’s gaze was complicated. There was admiration, relief, helplessness, and worry. In the end, he sighed. “Boss, we can’t help you. You can only rely on yourself. All the best!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yi turned into a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.

Do I regret it? Ling Lan looked down at her hands and repeated Xie Yi’s question.

Yes, I have no regrets! Ling Lan raised her head once more, her gaze calm. She once again set off on her journey, waiting for her next companion.

Since Xie Yi said there were other people, he couldn’t be the only one who appeared.

After walking for some time, Ling Lan seemed to turn numb. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out, “You’re finally here, my daughter.”

Following this voice, Ling Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her. The warmth of his aura nourished Ling Lan’s initially exhausted mind. She instantly became filled with vigor and strength.

“Long time no see, Father.” A hint of a smile appeared in the corners of Ling Lan’s eyes. Along the way, she had also thought that it would be good if she could just see Ling Xiao one more time. Unexpectedly, her dream had come true. This made her rather happy and blessed, and her initially indifferent expression became lively.

“You’re more powerful than before. I’m proud of you, my daughter.” Ling Xiao revealed a proud look. Just like before, he was the one who always considered his precious daughter the best in the world.

“Father, if I hadn’t reached this level, would you also not have wanted to tell me your true strength?” Ling Lan sighed. She knew that her father was very strong, but she didn’t realize that her father was even stronger than she had imagined.

“Some things require you to figure it out on your own. Everyone’s path is different,” said Ling Xiao with a smile. Since Ling Lan had already found her path, he did not need to interfere with her choice.

Ling Lan sighed, “Father, just be honest. It’s fine even if you don’t know what to say.” After being Ling Xiao’s daughter for so many years, how could she not understand Ling Xiao’s problem?

“Ahem~” Ling Xiao brought his fist to his mouth and coughed a few times before saying, “Erm, I came this time to ask, do you think your life was worth it?”

“Was it worth it?” Ling Lan’s eyes narrowed.

In this life, she became Ling Xiao’s daughter and Lan Luofeng’s daughter. She got to know a bunch of friends. She got to know Little Four, Little Blossom, the instructors, and the chubby Little White. They were all important to her. Compared to her previous life, she had received so much. How could it not be worth it?

“It was worth it. I’m proud that I’m your daughter. I’m proud that I’m Ling Lan!” Ling Lan said firmly.

“I’m proud of you too.” Ling Xiao’s gaze was filled with gratification, but there was also a trace of worry, but more of helplessness…

With that said, Ling Xiao disappeared from Ling Lan’s sight as suddenly as Xie Yi’s disappearance.
