Zongman: The Traveler In Our Dreams

Heian-kyo, Saigyouji’s house, the next morning.

As usual, Saigyouji Yuyuko woke up from her sleep, and there was still no one around, no light, and no color.

But it was different from usual, because she felt warm, and she also heard the sound of birds singing outside and smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers.

This had never happened before.

These were the things that Yuyuko had dreamed of, but not now, she had something more important to confirm.

Everything that happened yesterday was vivid in her mind, and Yuyuko got up quickly, and rushed out of the room without even changing her clothes.

Because she wanted to confirm, confirm whether that person was still there, and confirm whether everything yesterday was a dream.

The tender little feet ran on the wooden floor.

At this time, there was still a part of the servants who only went to the backyard to clean when Yuyuko was sleeping, and they had not left yet.

If it was before, Yuyuko would wait until they left before coming out, because their meeting would not bring any benefits.

Therefore, the moment they saw Youyouzi, expressions of fear appeared on their faces. They turned their heads away, not wanting to look at her face or touch her, because they knew that would kill people.

Normally, Youyouzi would be disappointed to see such a scene, but now she was not in such a mood, because she had more important people to see.

So she bypassed them, ran straight to the backyard, and opened the door.

“”Wow!”

The wooden door was opened by Youyouko, and a gust of wind rushed into the Saigyouji family impatiently, bringing the news that spring was back.

At this moment, the house, which had no color at all, became colorful again, and the lifeless atmosphere disappeared completely.

The cherry blossoms also broke into the house with the wind, and the fragrance of the flowers made people obsessed and intoxicated.

But what obsessed Youyouko the most was not these, but that person, the person who was now standing under the cherry tree.

Youyouko opened her eyes that had to be closed because of the wind. She tried to look forward, her sight bypassed the green grass, jumped over the beautiful sea of flowers, passed through the falling cherry blossoms, and fell on that person. The morning sun shone on him through the gaps between the cherry blossoms, butterflies and flying birds landed on his shoulders, and flowers bloomed towards him.

He looked up at the cherry blossoms, rubbing his chin, wondering what he was thinking.

Looking at his back, Youyouko couldn’t help but feel relieved. The man did not leave, and he followed the agreement between the two.

She walked into the garden barefoot after relaxing, and slowly walked towards him.

“”Hmm?”

Wubie turned around after hearing the sound behind him. He saw Youyouzi, who was wearing a single layer of clothes, standing not far behind him.

Looking at Wubie’s face, Youyouzi smiled with ease.

“Good morning, brother Wubie.”

“Well, good morning, Miss.”

Then he walked to Youyouzi, bent down, took off his windbreaker, and put it on her.

“There is still a chill in the early morning of spring, don’t wear too thin clothes, don’t worry, I won’t leave, our agreement will last forever”

“”Yes.”

Youyouzi nodded heavily. She always believed.

In the living room, Yaoji, who had dismissed the other servants, was looking at this beautiful scenery with a smile. He knew that the future had been changed.

────The dividing line of time────

Time passed quickly, and a month went by in a flash.

After Wubie came here, Youyouko strongly requested that she didn’t need a teacher, and after that, the Saigyoji family no longer recruited teachers from outside.

And because of Youyouko’s special nature, even her family rarely came to see her, so Wubie also had a better place to go.

He also fulfilled his job as a teacher, which was to teach Youyouko to study, which was still very easy for a modern person.

However, modern knowledge is not so easy for Youyouko to accept, but Wubie didn’t force it, as long as Youyouko learned part of it.

And children are always a little playful, not to mention that Youyouko now has experienced unprecedented vitality.

So in fact, most of the time Youyouko is playing, and when she is tired, she will lie on Wubie’s legs and sleep like now.

After making sure that Youyouko was asleep, Wubie covered her with a blanket, quietly stood up, and walked out without making a sound. At this time, Yaoji had been waiting outside for a long time.

“Are you going to be busy again?”

“Well, after all, I am the only one who can do this. The people in hell are not so easy to talk to. Fortunately, I am quite popular.”

He said jokingly, and then said seriously

“If you want to fulfill the agreement between Youyouzi and I, this step is necessary. We need to communicate well with Hell.”

“Alas, you have the power to subvert everything, but you still stick to the bottom line. I don’t know how many people like you are left.”

Yaoji shook his head with emotion. He knew the reason why Wubie went to hell.

Because he and Youyouzi agreed that they would always accompany each other. Wubie could do it easily, but Youyouzi couldn’t.

She was just a human and couldn’t accompany Wubie for his whole life, so Wubie needed to work hard in this regard. He needed to convince the gods of hell.

Wubie could actually ignore this kind of thing completely. He had the ability to change life and death, and he also had the ability to shut up hell, but he chose to refuse.

“Because everyone needs a bottom line. Only by keeping this bottom line can he be himself, and respecting life and rules is the simplest bottom line.

Of course, I don’t mind breaking these rules, but I will try my best to complete everything within the constraints of the rules. After all, I am not a destroyer of the world.”

He smiled and expressed his views on power.

“I don’t have any very noble ideals. I just want to protect the people around me, or live a stable life, and occasionally experience the thrill of traveling.

Sooner or later, I will leave, and I can’t leave a lot of troubles before I leave, so if it can be solved in a peaceful way, I will not use violence.

Of course, I don’t mind killing. If I have to kill some people to do something, I won’t refuse.”

In general, Wubie is a very selfish person. He can abide by the rules or break the rules for the people he cares about. He is a contradictory existence.

He is a rule follower, but not a defender. If one day the people he cares about are bound by the rules.

Then he doesn’t mind being a rule breaker.

It’s just that Youyouko’s affairs now don’t need to break the rules. Youyouko’s future is to become a spirit, so just follow the rules.

After speaking his mind, Wubie looked at the time and said

“Well, it’s getting late. If I come back late, Youyouzi will be angry. So I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Well, leave the young lady to me, you go early and come back early.”

Yaoji nodded and did not stop him. After all, they were the same kind of people, so Yaoji would not stop Wubie’s actions.

Watching Wubie leave, Yaoji did not enter the house immediately, but waited quietly, waiting for the people inside to come out.

As expected, after a while, seeing that there was no movement, Youyouzi opened the door from inside the house. She originally thought that because Wubie and Yaoji had left, she saw Yaoji standing there waiting for her.

So Youyouzi also asked

“Grandpa Yaoji, does Brother Wubie know?”

“I don’t think he doesn’t know that the young lady has woken up, and I think the words just now were meant for her.”

Yao Ji looked at Youyouzi, who had lowered her head, and waited for her answer.

After a moment, Youyouzi raised her head.

“Grandpa Yaoji, if I refuse the option of becoming another race, will Brother Wubie blame me?”

“No, I think you know the answer. Although he is a strong person, he is more willing to listen to other people’s ideas.”

In the past month, the two have a more comprehensive understanding of Wubie and what kind of person he is.

So if Youyouzi rejects Wubie’s proposal, he will respect Youyouzi’s idea.

But this leads to another question.

“But young lady, how can you fulfill your promise?”

Yes, Youyouko is just a human. Although she can bring death, she cannot control death, nor can she refuse death.

So one day she will die, whether it is an accident or old age.

And no different, as a traveler, he has an infinite lifespan, unless the concept of travelers is lost in this world, but this is impossible.

So how can Youyouko fulfill her promise?

But facing this seemingly difficult problem, Youyouko did not hesitate at all, and even had a smile on her face.���She had already thought about it.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa Yaoji, I will continue to walk with Brother Wubie, forever and ever, and I will die as a human being.”

Let Brother Wubie decide what will happen after that, because now I have other concerns besides Brother Wubie.

As a human being, one’s life is not just one’s own. Although my parents have to distance themselves from me because of my abilities, they still do their best to raise me.

So Youyouzi can’t abandon her parents because of her selfishness. She will repay this kindness with her own life.

But Brother Wubie will definitely be very angry if she does this, after all, I rejected his kindness and chose death.

However, if Brother Wubie is really angry at that time, I will compensate myself to him, but Youyouzi will always live with him as Brother Wubie.

Looking at Youyouzi’s words and awareness without any hesitation, Yaoji was surprised and relieved at her determination.

The eldest lady who has never been loved by anyone and has never loved anyone else finally realized what love is, and also gave her love to one person.

After getting the unexpected reply, Yaoji touched her head like Wubie, and smiled with relief.

But Youyouzi kept shaking her head.

“Yaoji Grandpa, don’t learn from your brother. Your touch doesn’t feel good at all.”

“Haha, you forgot about grandpa now that you have a brother, right? You are such an ungrateful little girl.”

Yao Ji said in a joking tone, and at the same time he turned his head to look at the blue sky, where a shooting star was passing by.
