Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Facing Lu Jun's calm gaze and Harosana's scrutinizing and expectant look, Wu Siduo felt an invisible pressure.

She subconsciously turned slightly to the side and reached out to grab the hem of Lu Jun's shirt at the back of his waist, as if it were a source of strength and courage for her.

Wu Siduo lowered her head, her heart churning with conflicting emotions.

Reviving one's parents... that's undoubtedly an extremely tempting option.

She longed to see their smiles again, to hear their voices, and to make up for the lost warmth of those times.

But Harosa's words of wisdom about reverence for life and about changing one's mindset were like a bucket of cold water, gradually calming her feverish mind.

She pursed her lips tightly, finally mustering her courage, raised her head, looked past Lu Jun, and directly at Harosa, asking the question that concerned her most, her voice trembling slightly:

"Senior Harosa... I want to know, how are my father and mother doing in the Land of the Dead?"

Harosa was not surprised by the question. After a moment's thought, he asked in return:

"If I may ask, when exactly did your father and mother pass away?"

Wu Siduo thought carefully for a moment, then whispered with a touch of melancholy:

“My father… died when I was about three or four years old, in the line of duty against the Federation.”

"My mother... was killed when I was almost fourteen years old, by three titled Douluo from the Green Skull organization."

Her voice lowered.

"I am sixteen years old this year."

Upon hearing this, Harosa silently calculated the time in his mind, then nodded and explained to Wusiduo in as gentle a tone as possible:

“You don’t need to worry too much. According to the perfect cycle of reincarnation and the flow of time in the plane of the dead, your father, after staying in the plane of the dead in his ghostly state and receiving the necessary purification and guidance, his soul has already entered the reincarnation channel and been reborn as a human.”

"Your mother passed away a little later, but according to calculations, her soul should have already ended its journey in the realm of the dead and entered a new cycle of life."

He concluded:
"They have all been reborn."

"Have they... all been reincarnated...?"

Wu Siduo muttered to herself, subconsciously shrinking her head as if trying to hide herself.

Upon hearing this answer, the burning flame of resurrection in her heart seemed to be quietly extinguished by a gentle drizzle.

A smile, a mixture of relief and bitterness, appeared on her face. She gently shook her head, her voice still low, yet revealing a clear and resolute determination.

"Since... since they have already gotten rid of the pain of the past and started a new peaceful life, then... then I should not disturb them."

"I can't selfishly drag my parents back from their peaceful new life just to satisfy my own desire for them to come back, and make them go through all the past turmoil and potential dangers again..."

She looked up, her eyes still glistening with tears, but much clearer:

"After all, resurrection is just wishful thinking on my part."

"I don't know if they, who have been reborn, are willing to come back, or if they still want to continue to bear the destiny brought by the bloodline of the dancers..."

Having said this, she took a deep breath, as if turning all her lingering affection and reluctance into a final blessing. She looked up into the void and whispered a prayer:

"I wish them... that in their next life they will no longer bear any family mission or honor, and will not be entangled by any past grudges or the history of their ancestors."

"I only hope that they... can become the most ordinary and common people in this world, and have a peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life..." "Just like that, living an ordinary but fulfilling life is enough."

This heartfelt blessing, filled with selfless love, moved Harosa deeply.

He bowed slightly to Wu Siduo, solemnly cupped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a respectful tone:

"The will of the Douluo plane will hear your pure blessing and wish."

"It will surely protect your parents and fulfill your wishes in their new life. Rest assured."

He paused, a rare, warm smile appearing on his face, and added:

"Perhaps, fate still binds them together."

"In this life, they have transcended the blood ties and destiny of their past lives, and they can still be an ordinary but loving couple."

At this moment, Lu Jun also reached out and gently ruffled Wu Siduo's hair, the movement gentle and soothing.

"Alright, it's all over now. You made the choice that showed the utmost respect for them and for life itself. Now, you can truly rest in peace."

"Ok!"

Wu Siduo nodded vigorously, feeling the warmth emanating from the top of her head. The enormous emptiness in her heart caused by hatred and loss seemed to be filled by a warmer and more solid emotion.

She looked at Lu Jun's profile, and the hazy feelings in her heart became incredibly clear and intense.

I like Lu Jun even more now!

I admire his strength, I admire his gentleness, and I especially admire his understanding and tolerance in guiding me to make the right choices and respecting my wishes.

"Now that this matter is settled, I will not disturb you any longer and will take my leave."

Seeing that Wu Siduo's inner conflict had been resolved, Harosa did not linger any longer. With a flick of his armor, his figure vanished silently into the passage, as if blending into the shadows.

He had barely left when Leng Yulai, who had been unable to contain her curiosity any longer, strolled back from the side. She approached Wu Siduo, blinked her alluring phoenix eyes, and spoke with obvious surprise:
"Xiao Duo, you actually... didn't choose to resurrect your parents?"

"That old fogey Harosa rarely gives people this kind of opportunity!"

Wu Siduo looked at Leng Yulai, gently shook her head, and briefly recounted Halosa's explanation and her final decision.

After listening, Leng Yulai's expression softened, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

However, she quickly reverted to her slightly arrogant demeanor, arms crossed, chin slightly raised, and said in a tone that said, "I would never do that":

"Hmph, if it were me... I would definitely choose to be resurrected!"

"Who cares about reincarnation, new life or old life? Isn't the point of living to enjoy yourself?"

"Of course, I should prioritize my own needs in everything. I, Leng Yulai, am just that selfish!"

She spoke with such conviction, as if she were proclaiming some profound life motto.

"Yes, yes, you are the most selfless and impartial master."

Lu Jun, who was listening from the side, couldn't help but interject with a smile, his tone clearly teasing.

"So, that's why some people aren't yet Limit Douluos, and that's why..." (End of Chapter)
