Chapter 443 - Foreseeing Anna's Future
Chapter 443: Foreseeing Anna’s Future
Yu Huang hurriedly flew over and grabbed the grayish-black line. The black line struggled with all its might in Yu Huang’s palm to break free from her restraints.
However, in the Eye of All Things, the Eye of Samsara was the God that ruled over everything. All living beings were just fragile soul threads, and they were unable to break free from Yu Huang’s restraints. Yu Huang pinched that heart and urged her mental strength to pry into the information of this soul thread.
Soon, sad memories were sent into Yu Huang’s mind along the soul thread—
It was a little girl with a playful appearance and a pair of beautiful eyes.
The little girl was wearing a yellow goose down jacket and standing in front of the convenience store.
It was snowing and early in the morning, so there were very few people at the entrance of the convenience store. A gentle-looking woman squatted in front of the little girl and said, “Anna, Mommy forgot to bring money. Can you wait for Mommy here? Mommy will go back and get the money to buy your favorite rabbit bun.”
Although the woman who called herself her mother looked very gentle, she looked very haggard. She was clearly very young, but her eyes were filled with fatigue.
The little girl nodded and said crisply, “Okay.”
“Anna, be good and wait for me here. Mommy will be back soon.” The woman kissed Anna’s forehead lovingly and turned to leave. Her thick snow boots left a series of heavy footprints on the ground. After walking for a while, the woman suddenly turned around and looked at Anna.
Anna raised her right hand and waved at her mother with a smile. “Mommy, hurry up.”
“Yes!”
The woman turned her back to Anna and started to wipe her tears. Yu Huang saw a dark green scar on the back of the woman’s slender hand.
Anna remembered what her mother had said. She had to stay where she was and wait for her. Her mother would be back soon. However, after that woman left, she never returned. Anna stood at the door of the convenience store. The snow was so thick that it could cover the soles of her snow boots.
In the snow, Anna’s face turned purple from the cold, and her hands, hidden under her knitted gloves, were frozen stiff.
The sky was getting darker and darker, but the little girl had been standing here for the entire day. She refused to leave, and no one came to pick her up. Finally, a kind person came forward to talk to her. “Little girl, why have you been standing here? Where are your parents?”
“Little girl, are you lost? Can we send you to the police station? The police will help you find your mother.”
Anna refused to leave. She stared at the rabbit ears on the knitted gloves. Her lips trembled as she stammered, “My, my mother went back to get the money. I can’t leave. If I leave, she won’t be able to find me.”
However, Anna waited until the sky turned dark, but her mother didn’t return.
Later, someone finally couldn’t stand it and forcefully brought Anna to the police station. Not long after, a handsome man in a suit came to the police station. The man claimed to be Anna’s father.
However, in Anna’s memory, although her father had a human appearance and was wearing a suit, his face was a blurry mosaic. It could be seen how much Anna disliked this man.
The man brought Anna home. The moment he returned home and saw the house, the man immediately cursed angrily, “That b*tch doesn’t want you anymore. She abandoned you and ran away. She went to find a richer man!”
Anna stared at her exasperated father, who was smashing things in the house. She said nothing.
Later, every time her mother left, Anna would go to the entrance of the small store to wait for her. She would wait from early morning until dark.
Day after day, year after year, the girl grew older and older. However, her mother, who had promised to come back to bring her to buy rabbit buns after getting the money, never returned, and her father became more and more unhinged.
Her father became addicted to alcohol. After he returned home, he always vented all the unhappiness he suffered in the company on Anna.
He hit her, picked up the bottle, and threw it at her. He raised the stool and threw it at her.
He scolded her, called her a b*tch’s child, and called her an unwanted child.
After the scolding, the man would feel guilty and buy a beautiful dress to force Anna to change into. He would dress her up as a beautiful little princess and take a few beautiful photos. He would post some hypocritical sentimental comments on his WeChat Moments to show off their affectionate father-daughter relationship.
He portrayed himself as a single father abandoned by a b*tch.
But no one knew how many scars were hidden under the cute girl’s beautiful dress.
Yu Huang only looked at Anna’s past as a bystander, but her heart ached for Anna.
Anna’s memories had always been full of unhappiness. It was only when she was 17 years old that warm sunlight appeared in her memories for the first time. It was summer, and the third-year students of Yong Hui Academy were about to participate in the last beast awakening ceremony in their lives.
That day, Anna successfully awakened her beast form.
However, the moment that made her feel truly happy wasn’t the moment when she successfully awakened her beast form. Instead, it was when she saw Yu Huang publicly defending her in front of all the students and helping her teach the Prosperous Capital’s First High School a lesson.
From Anna’s point of view, Yu Huang was glowing, like a little sun.
When Yu Huang saw this, her heart ached.
Yu Huang knew most of what happened after that, so she skipped that memory and used her mental strength to pry into Anna’s future.
Predicting the future was far more difficult than prying into the past.
Yu Huang dragged the spiritual thread in her hand backward and arrived at Anna’s future. To pry into the future was to pry into the heavenly secrets. Yu Huang’s eyes stung, and she clearly felt even more exhausted. Yu Huang gritted her teeth and mobilized all the psychic energy in the Spiritual Abode world. She forced herself to continue watching.
Finally, she saw the future Anna.
Anna stood in a wide square. She was wearing a Beast Tamer uniform and knelt in front of Di Ruofeng. She said in a sonorous voice, “The war has arrived. I request to fight!”
Di Ruofeng was also wearing a Prime Master Beast Tamer uniform. His eyes were slightly red as he looked at his little disciple and said with a choked voice, “Child, do you know that this farewell will be forever?!”
Anna kowtowed to Di Ruofeng. Her forehead was pressed against the smooth stone surface, and her voice became choked. “I’m unfilial and can’t send you off in your old age. Please don’t blame me!”
Di Ruofeng looked up at the sky and two drops of tears were blown away by the strong wind. “Since you’re willing to fight, I naturally can’t stop you! Anna, you’re the same as your senior brother. You’re the greatest pride of my life. Go!”
After receiving Di Ruofeng’s approval, Anna stood up. She turned around and took a few steps before suddenly turning back to bow to Di Ruofeng. She cried and said, “I thank you for your guidance and nurturing! I wish you longevity and peace and joy!”
With that, Anna walked to the other side of the square. There were three to four Grand Master Beast Tamers standing there.
Seeing Anna walk over, the Grand Masters gave Anna an encouraging smile. Then, they extended their right hands towards Anna at the same time. Anna held their hands, then lowered her head and bit their hands…
The next scene completely agitated Yu Huang until her eyes turned red.
“Ah!”
Yu Huang was suddenly ejected by the world in the Eye of All Things. Her body fell back against the wall, and the Eye of All Things fell into her arms.
Sheng Xiao heard Yu Huang’s call and immediately abandoned his sword and went upstairs.
He ran into the master bedroom and saw Yu Huang sitting on the ground without moving. He hurriedly carried her by the waist and placed her on the bed. “What’s wrong?”
Yu Huang grabbed Sheng Xiao’s hand.
Just now, Yu Huang had overdrawn her spiritual power to predict the future. At this moment, her beautiful face looked pale, and she looked so haggard that she looked like she could faint at any moment.
“Sheng Xiao, tell the Grand State Master that he must do his best to protect Anna! Anna will be the key to turning the situation around in the battle two months later!” Yu Huang was relieved after telling Sheng Xiao about it. Then, she closed her eyes and fainted.
Sheng Xiao was relieved to see that she was only mentally exhausted and wasn’t seriously injured.
Sheng Xiao covered Yu Huang with a thin blanket and turned the temperature of the air conditioner to 26 degrees. Then, he went downstairs and said to the butler, “Prepare a Spirit Gathering Soup for the Young Madam. When she wakes up, give it to her.”
The butler lowered his head and asked, “Young Master, where are you going?”
“I need to go out for something.”
Sheng Xiao didn’t know what Yu Huang had seen, but he didn’t dare to delay what she had told him.
The lake where he lived wasn’t far from the capital’s royal family. It was only a forty-minute drive away. Sheng Xiao drove the motorcycle and arrived at the capital’s royal family without any obstructions. The soldiers standing outside the palace recognized him and immediately shouted, “Young Master Sheng is entering the palace. Let him in!”
It was forbidden for non-royal vehicles to ride in the royal palace.
Sheng Xiao placed the motorcycle in the special parking area and walked into the royal palace. On the way, he met Mo Yelou, who had just finished an interview with a reporter from another country.
Sheng Xiao had to bow when he saw the emperor of the Divine Moon Empire. “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
Mo Yelou quickly hid the half-eaten sweet potato into his interspatial ring. Then, he asked Sheng Xiao with a dignified expression, “Young Master Sheng, are you going to see the Grand State Master?”
“Yes, I have something to discuss with the Grand State Master.”
Since it was related to the Grand State Master, Mo Yelou didn’t waste Sheng Xiao’s time. He said, “Go quickly. If you’re free, come over for lunch with me. The last time we had a meal together, you were still a little kid. In the blink of an eye, you have a family and a career.”
Sheng Xiao wasn’t interested in eating with Mo Yelou. “If you’re free, I’ll definitely come to His Majesty for a meal.”
“I’ll wait.”
Seeing Sheng Xiao striding towards the Grand State Master’s Divination Tower, Mo Yelou shook his head with emotion. He couldn’t help but complain to his personal guard, “If there’s anyone I hate the most, it’s Sheng Xiao. When I was a Supreme Master, he was still a child. Now that he is a Supreme Master, I’m still a Supreme Master. Every time my mother says that I’m not promising, she compares me to the Sheng family.”
Sheng Xiao was a stereotypical outstanding child. Even the king of a country had to be compared to him.
The guard hurriedly flattered, “Your Majesty, as the ruler of a country, you are good at governing. Under your rule, the Divine Moon Empire is far superior to other countries in terms of both economic and military strength. Your Majesty, you also receive the envy of other monarchs!”
This flattered Mo Yelou. Mo Yelou gave him a look of admiration.
