Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2872

Chapter 1385: Choice

The entire world was filled with a dreamlike, hazy light, and many of the layouts resembled places Zaun had lived in before, even including his previous life’s Earth.

The God of Love and Beauty chuckled softly, “This world was built based on the most beautiful places in your memory. I must say, you’re quite the experienced man; no wonder I fell for you.”

Zaun’s face darkened upon hearing this: “You’re not her!”

As he spoke, his hand was already on the “Great Canon of Life and Death in the Netherworld,” but seeing that beautiful figure, a trace of reluctance stirred within him.

No one in the world would willingly destroy such a perfect existence.

The God of Love and Beauty sighed softly, “I didn’t lie to you. I am indeed her, and she is indeed me.”

Zaun frowned, “What do you mean?”

The God of Love and Beauty gazed at the distant starry sky, his expression quite complex, “Back then…”

He paused for a long time before continuing, “According to your understanding, Yu Yanluo should be considered one of my reincarnations.”

“A reincarnation?” Zaun was startled.

“That’s right. In order to avoid some terrible things, I chose to reincarnate and wait for my will to awaken at some point in the future. Originally, there was still some time, but I didn’t expect to awaken early because of the ritual held by that guy.”

Zu An was shocked. At the same time, he thought about everything after he met Yu Yanluo. She was indeed the embodiment of beauty. Countless men fell at her feet, including Zhao Hao and the old demon emperor back then.

To be honest, she did indeed fit the characteristics of the goddess of beauty…

but how could he be so easily convinced by her few words? “From what you’re saying, you did indeed perish back then, but with your unique charm, who in this world would be so cruel as to do such a thing?”

“There are plenty of madmen in this world,” the goddess of love and beauty immediately looked at him, “As it involves the true gods, I advise you not to inquire.”

Zu’an sneered, “In that case, how could I believe that Yu Yanluo is your reincarnation?”

“If she is not my reincarnation, how could she look exactly like me, how could she not be accepted by other temples, but instead open the long-lost temple of love and beauty?” The goddess of beauty’s voice carried an ultimate dreamlike quality; every syllable of her breath could evoke a beauty that emanated from the soul.

“What you say makes a lot of sense, but…” Zu’an said firmly, each word distinct, “Even if she is your reincarnation, you are not her!”

The Goddess of Love and Beauty was somewhat taken aback: “Between her and me, you would rather choose her? Besides, we are one.”

In all the realms, any living being, regardless of gender, would be overjoyed to receive the favor of the Goddess of Beauty; no one would choose anyone else.

Moreover, she specifically stated that the two were actually one person.

“Of course we are not one. The one I met in Bright Moon City was her, not you. The one who came to the capital to save me was her, not you. In Cloud County, we faced pursuit together, and the one who was seriously injured protecting me was her, not you. We fled to the demon realm together, facing unknown dangers, and she was the one who was not you…”

Zu’an recounted the various memories they shared. The Goddess of Love and Beauty’s fingers twitched slightly, as if another soul was gradually awakening.

The Goddess of Love and Beauty’s expression shifted slightly, and she finally sighed, “I finally understand why she fell in love with you, and I believe you will be able to protect her in the future.”

Sensing the lingering intent in her voice, Zu’an couldn’t help but ask, “In your current state, without a body, won’t you perish?”

The Goddess of Love and Beauty suddenly turned and smiled, “Weren’t you just shouting for battle? Now you’re worried about me?”

That smile was enough to make the stars in the sky pale in comparison, and the entire beautiful world lose its luster.

Zu’an remained silent, secretly reminding himself not to soften his heart again; saving Yanluo was the most important thing.

“Men are always so hypocritical,” the Goddess of Love and Beauty chuckled, “It wasn’t my time to revive yet. I hope that when I wake up next time, I’ll hear a different answer from you.”

As she spoke, the dreamlike light and shadow vanished, and the Goddess of Love and Beauty closed her eyes. Immediately, Yu Yanluo’s body went limp and collapsed, and Zu’an quickly caught her tightly.

The entire world began to collapse, and the next second, the two were back at the altar.

The beauty in his arms trembled slightly, slowly opening her eyes. She reached out and stroked her lover’s face, her eyes filled with tenderness: “Azu, I heard everything you

two were saying.” Although she was confident in their relationship, she couldn’t imagine what man could resist the charm of the god of love and beauty.

Even though the god of love and beauty had made a bet with her, she still had no confidence.

Until this moment, she could no longer contain her emotions and tightly embraced her lover, kissing him.

Zu’an immediately recognized her, feeling both surprised and delighted. The two celebrated their reunion with abandon, knowing they had almost parted forever.

This scene, observed by Hermes in the distance, appeared to be the god of love and beauty offering a kiss, the two intimately embracing.

He was already extremely weak, and now he couldn’t hold back any longer: “God of Love and Beauty, I’ve given so much for you, why are you doing this to me? I hate it so much!”

Hermes’s anger level increased by 1024 + 1024 + 1024…

and then he couldn’t catch his breath and died of anger.

Lilith held him tightly, and couldn’t help but smile sadly: “Hermes, I’ve also given so much for you, and you’ve never seen it either. But it’s good this way, we can finally be together.”

As she spoke, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. She reluctantly tidied Hermes’s disheveled hair, bent down and gently kissed his forehead, a trace of a smile still on her lips, but she was already motionless.

The commotion here woke up the two on the other side. Yu Yanluo felt a little sorry for him: “I didn’t expect this woman to be so devoted at heart despite her seductive and wanton appearance.”

“They both fell in love with the wrong person, and couldn’t get what they wanted.” Zuan sighed.

“It’s so good to be with you.” Yu Yanluo gripped his clothes a little tighter.

The two embraced tightly, reluctant to part for a long time.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached. It turned out the commotion had alerted Hermes’s men. Although Hermes had repeatedly warned them not to come over no matter what they heard, the strange phenomenon was too miraculous, and they had mustered the courage to investigate.

Zu’an reacted quickly, transforming himself into Hermes’s likeness using his Myriad Transformations technique to stop the soldiers: “No need to panic. Some rebels tried to rescue Yongli, but I have already killed them.”

“The Prince of Pingxi is mighty!” the soldiers cheered. His imposing presence, coupled with the princess in his arms, left them with no reason to doubt.

However, they all secretly wondered if the princess should be a hostage in the capital; wouldn’t the court investigate now that she was here…?

After dispersing the soldiers, Zu’an found a secluded spot to bury Hermes and Lilith. At Yu Yanluo’s suggestion, they were buried together.

“Zu’an, shall we return to the capital now?” Yu Yanluo asked.

Zuan shook his head: “New variables have emerged, and we’ll probably have to stay here for many years.”
