Chapter 237: Human Heart is also the Warmest

Translator: AlfredoPoutineSoup  Editor: DesTheSloth

It had been existing long before Lui Village was formed.

The old saying said that a sea lord lived in the sea. It was a kind philanthropist who looked after this village.

It made this village quiet and peaceful. It also blessed the fishermen with good harvest.

Was that true?

Lui Buhai liked to watch the sea where he went to everyday. He could see the sunrise and sunset.

He liked to sit on the beach during sunset. He didn’t know many general principles or words except his own name. However, he always thought about what was in the sea.

Until one day, the waves pushed her to Lui Buhai during sunset. He stopped his thoughts.

What was in the sea? The young fisherman only knew that this woman who was sent by the waves attracted him deeply.

This woman woke up after 3 full days.

“Who are you… who am I?”

It was the moment when their gaze met each other after so many years. Lui Buhai saw the depth of the sea from her eyes.

She forgot about everything but remembered him.

And his mind told him, keeping her in mind would be enough.

“Shui Er… You came from the sea, so your name is Shui Er.” He giggled.

He was still the villager of the small fishing village and she became the wife of this young fisherman.

His life was still simple but changing from a person to two made him no longer feel lonely.

Shui Er gave birth to a child for him. Several years passed, he who was still uncivilized just took out his middle name and kept his family name and last name as his son’s name.

He still giggled and looked at his own wife, saying, “You’re Shui Er, and he’s Hai Er, both of your names could make a new word!”

“You mean Hai Shui? It’s very weird!”

Anyway, a new member joined their family, which made their simple life more lively.

But not sure since when, a slight hint of difference emerged in this woman who had lost her memory.

Her gaze was still deep but he could feel something flowing slowly under the quietness.

He knew that she liked the blue flowers. So he planted a lot.

There was one day when she told him that she didn’t belong to this place… she said that she recalled something. She also said that she was an unlucky lady.

Their kid was 7 years old and he had become mature. He’d like to guard this family, so he told her if she didn’t belong to this place, would he be willing to leave this place with her?

Anyway, no one in the village agreed with their marriage. So there was no difference whether they stayed there or left.

Thus, he giggled and asked her, “Where do you want to go?”

She looked at the sea in daze. In that sunset evening, she squatted at the seaside with barefoot, murmuring, “If I can, I’d like to become a fish swimming in the sea.”

Lui Buhai laughed, “Honey, how can a person be a fish? But if you wanna go to the sea, then I can build a ship big enough to accommodate all of our family members…”

He gesticulated an arc, continuing with a laugh, “A big ship!”

She snuggled up to her husband’s arms, smiling while seeing the sunset disappearing from the sea horizon.

Here should be the start of everything.

The grid guard of Hear-The-Sea Cliff had been broken after the cliff collapsed.

It was merely a common escarpment.

“This is a dead end, give me the antidote.”

The golden light wrapped around Momo’s fingers. “If you give it, I’ll let this issue pass but you have to allow me to pull out the root of the monster from your body1”

Lui Yiyun looked at the sea.

She had been watching it since she came up here.

She opened her arms, facing the sea.

As if she didn’t hear the words from Momo.

But Momo dared not act rashly. He was afraid that this girl would throw the antidote down the cliff… He didn’t think he could get it back from the sea and rocks.

She could break the test tube by pinching it with her fingers added with a little force.

Lui Yiyun turned around.

The girl’s eyes turned little blue as the sea. She looked at Momo, telling him, “Don’t come. I won’t give you that.”

“Those guys are sinful but it’s not as serious as sentencing them to death.” Momo breathed deeply.

The girl look turned painful. She covered her forehead, screaming, “Then who can help me!! Is it you? You can forgive them, but how about me? Who can forgive me?!”

“Stay calm! Your monster nature has almost swallow your sensibility!” Momo frowned, “Don’t let the monster’s nature destroy you!”

“Calm down… Can you say something different?” Lui Yiyun’s look turned fierce.

Her red lips turned dark blue.

“I’m a monster! So I’m always wrong, right? And they’re humans, so they should always be forgiven, right? I think you’re as hypocritical as them!”

A hoarse voice came up from Lui Yiyun.

Momo realized that she was being demonized at a fast speed… It was hard to stop it and she’d be controlled by her monster nature.

Momo sighed, saying, “Since you won’t listen to me, don’t blame me then!”

He drove the spell paper, several golden-light tigers rushed up towards Lui Yiyun rapidly.

Those tigers ran much faster than dozens of minutes ago, biting the girl’s legs and hands, exceeding her reaction speed.

The sharp pain bit by incisive teeth made her screamed.

“Let me ask you one more time! Give me or not?” Momo yelled.

But it incurred an even more resentful look from her.

Momo took a deep breath without hesitation. A red spell held by his fingers had been emitted.

That was a thunderbolt striking Lui Yiyun, strong enough to kill this immature monster.

At the moment when the thunder had been emitted, Momo closed his eyes, saying, “Sorry about that.”

The sea wind was still strong. Momo opened his eyes… She might be dead… No.

She was not. The thunder didn’t hurt her at all.

Momo was stupefied. He saw that mysterious senior standing behind her and stopping the thunder.

“You…” Momo squeezed his voice from his throat.

It was not the most powerful skill and could be stopped by him easily— He didn’t see how it was stopped but from his relaxed appearance, it should be much easier than killing a mosquito.

“Thank you for your hard work.” Luo Qiu looked at Momo, nodding.

Momo frowned, looking shocked, “What happened?”

Luo Qiu shook his head. He didn’t intend to explain that everything he did to Lui Yiyun was ‘very good’.

Luo Qiu got close to those golden-light tigers.

Those tigers tightened their bodies but Luo Qiu stretched out his hand to touch one of them like touching a domestic cat.

“And thank you for your hard work. Go back.”

They turned into the talismans one by one. They were folded and flew towards Momo.

This frightened Momo… The spell should only be driven by his mysterious skill.

But…

At this time, Lui Yiyun who regained freedom screeched, her fingernails became sharp claws, pouncing towards Luo Qiu.

However, before she got close, her body turned and dropped down to the ground.

Bang—!

A medium pit was formed due to the heavy impact.

When she regained herself, she saw a beautiful woman standing in front… She had smashed her down.

Straight after that, the servant girl gave a heavy blow, hitting on the girl’s belly.

As if all organs were destroyed, Lui Yiyun spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

Lui Yiyun thought she’d die after the next hit but the servant girl returned to Luo Qiu.

Lui Yiyun spat blood, both of her legs quivered. She stood up hard, gazing at this young man with fear and rage, “Why don’t you kill me?”

“I’ve said that I came to help you.” Luo Qiu said, “Your monster nature has gathered too much to be stopped, it swallowed your thoughts seriously. Of course, it’s easy to kill you, but…”

Boss Luo didn’t talk more. Instead, he shook his head.

“I’m OK! I don’t need your help!” Lui Yiyun pointed at Momo with anger, and glaring at Luo Qiu at the same time, “You’re the same as this guy!”

All of a sudden.

A voice came.

That was from Lui Hai, a bitter and heavy voice, “Yiyun, let it go.”

Lui Yiyun’s gaze turned to follow the voice. She saw Lui Hai holding Lui Buhai, coming close slowly. Lui Buhai was still muddle-headed and his son held him.

“Dad… grandpa…” Lui Yiyun retreated, shaking her head with a fearful look, “Why did you come… don’t come over, stop looking at me! Stop looking at me!!”

“Why can’t I see you? No matter how you’ve changed, you’re always my daughter.” Lui Hai took a deep breath, “You’re my daughter, so I dare to look at you… so, Yiyun, let it go, enmity doesn’t belong to you.”

Lui Yiyun held her head and kept stepping back. Her sight wavered. Looking at Lui Hai, her voice turned sharp, “Why! Why can you forgive them!! Why! These years! Why did you keep silent! Why… Why!!!”

Lui Hai took a deep breath with force, “That’s because the person who made this kind of virus… is your biological granny!”

The girl suddenly gaped, her eyes opened wide and her lips moved. She shook her head slightly, “No… no… You are lying to me, you are lying to me … you are lying to me!!!!!”

Lui Hai voiced bitterly, “No, I’m not… that is true, your grandpa told me that. Your grandma was one of the planners in the development group. Then the lab was attacked, your grandma escaped but dropped into the sea and lost her memory. Eventually, she was brought by the waves to our village. Your grandpa married her and gave birth to you. However…”

Lui Hai continued, “However, Takeru Sakai fled with her, he still kept the lab virus. You know the things that happened later. When someone was infected in the village, your grandma regained all her memories. She thought that the virus spreaded to here with her, then someone opened it. She became upset because of this… but she didn’t know that Takeru Sakai sneakily came up to the same place as her and hid in the house of Old Female Immortal Huang.”

Lui Hai shook his head, “He got injured but had never left her house. And after your grandma married your grandpa, they moved to the edge of the village. They didn’t meet or know each other. Until some villagers intruded our house and arrested your grandma…”

Lui Hai gazed at Lui Yiyun, “Your grandma thought that she deserved her punishment. So she didn’t hate anyone until she died. She didn’t hate them… how could we hate them? But that’s not our true emotion. The person with the largest hatred is your grandpa!”

“That’s not true… that’s not true…”

Lui Hai said in pain, “If the people killed your grandma are all killers, then we… we are also the descendants of sinners. Girl, let it go… I made mistakes. I thought it’ll be good to keep you innocent from the truth but I don’t know how much pain you’ve been suffering. When I woke up at the clinic and heard the conversation between Lui Hai and you, when I forced him to tell the truth, I realized… those were all my fault.”

Lui Yiyun lowered her head, sobbing and her tears dropping from her dark-blue eyes. “What did I do these for… what did I do all these for!!!”

“Yiyun!” Lui Hai shouted.

Lui Yiyun headed up gradually, revealing a sad but beautiful smile, saying softly, “Dad… I won’t blame you. But, but, but… I can go back. Sorry… Ah!!!!!”

Lui Yiyun held her head painfully, releasing the most penetrating scream.

Her eyes were full of tears that weren’t human. She turned around and rushed towards the precipice… then jumped down.

Luo Qiu squinted his eyes, patting Lui Buhai’s back. In that second, Lui Buhai’s cloudy eyes became clear.

And his body was pushed by a tremendous force, bounding on towards her.

Lui Buhai grabbed Lui Yiyun’s arm and Lui Hai made a quick reaction, pouncing to grab Lui Buhai’s waist.

Lui Yiyun wanted to resist but halted immediately when she looked at her grandpa’s clear eyes.

“Grandpa…”

“My memory was bad.”

Lui Buhai said weakly, “I saw you cried secretly but I forgot about that soon. I’ve seen you applying ethyl alcohol but I forgot about that quickly. I also saw your wounds, but I still forgot… how could I forget them?”

“You’re my granddaughter!”

“Grandpa, save me, ah…”

Lui Yiyun was leaning on the cliff, crying as the wind blew.

Her blue eyes disappeared slowly and her sharp teeth faded away. When the two seniors pulled her up, the girl’s monster character vanished from her body.

But she was still laying in Lui Buhai’s arms, crying loudly and sadly like a baby.

Momo gazed at the black air emitting from Lui Yiyun, saying incredibility, “She almost turned into a monster… but turned back?”

“She’s also a human, isn’t she? The human soul is a wonderful thing. Only with a little light can it be enough to dispel all the darkness hiding in the heart.”

Luo Qiu’s voice rang in Momo’s ear. He raised his head to look at this senior, gaping but didn’t speak out a word.

This young master of Taoism had the thought of wiping her out if the result couldn’t be reversed.

Momo headed down, heaving a sigh of relief. Then he sat down and closed his eyes. Golden light was seen flowing under his skin.

Luo Qiu was shocked by Momo’s expression, asking with curiosity, “Is it the so-called sudden enlightenment of Taoism that was hard to seek for?”

The servant girl was delighted, “I’m looking forward to Momo’s presence in the club.”

“…”

The servant girl’s way of thought was different from his own but Luo Qiu didn’t dispute it.

After a long while, Lui Yiyun stopped crying.

She stood up with his father and his grandfather’s help, breathing in deeply. He finally walked towards Luo Qiu, passing the antidote to him.

Boss Luo said, “It’s easy for me to grab it from you but only if you hand it out will mean that you really want to put it down. Do you understand?”

Lui Yiyun shook her head, then nodded.

“Why did you help me?” she asked.

Luo Qiu said calmly, “I just want to help you. Perhaps I was too bored.”

At the cliff, Lui Buhai threw a thankful look at him before closing his eyes slowly and falling down.

“Dad!!”

“Grandpa!!”

Lui Yiyun rushed to Lui Buhai, calling this senior with Lui Hai hurriedly.

“Grandpa!!” the girl lay on Luo Buhai.

Lui Hai took a deep breath, “He might have returned to his consciousness before death… At his age, these years… just let him sleep. It’s a liberation for him to see you getting rid of the hatred. Don’t be too grievous.”

At night.

Ren Ziling turned on the desk lamp.

She looked at the sleeping Lizi, shaking her head and smiling. She held a cup of hot tea and drank it to expel the cold from her body. She put her hands on the laptop keyboard, beating it gently.

“When I woke up, I noticed that the others waking up one after another. I looked at the little girl and her father sitting quietly there, along with a tube that would save the entire village lying on the tea table but we have no way of knowing exactly what happened.”

“Ma Houde really wanted to ask clearly. But I know his character, the beer-gut guy is not willing to continue to uncover the girl’s scars. This guy is very angry but it does not matter because he can vent his anger on Sakai Takeru and Lui Chaosheng. I think after bringing back these two guys, Ma Houde is going to be busy for a long time. After all, this small fishing village is also considered a problem left over by history, enough for him to batter. ”

“As if something was pushing us to wake up. We kept silent, staring at the test tube but did not ask why we made an appointment. Till now, I still felt that it was incredible.”

“Those who were saved, they appointed that they would not accuse Lui Hai or Lui Yiyun as if this experience cleared away all the ugliness buried in their hearts. I watched the villagers one by one outside the resort, bowing quietly, then leave without a sound.”

“Lui Hai and Lui Yiyun didn’t come out. Estrangement did not disappear after this matter but since Lui Hai’s family chose to forgive them, then the estrangement should fade over time. It may need a very long time, maybe to the girl’s descendants … But one day, more guests will eventually come to this hillside resort and they will be the same generation as the descendants of the resort.”

“The only regret is that the elderly man in the resort has passed away. According to the custom of the village, the remains of the elderly need to be cremated on the day he died, which is not in conformity with the present custom. However, the insightful secretary did not want to violate the customs of the village … I don’t think he will dare to do as he thinks. ”

“I don’t know if the old man remembered something before he died.”

“I don’t think I will forget what happened to this little fishing village forever.”

Typing the full stop, Ren Ziling heaved a sigh of relief, dragging this article into a folder called “Ren Ziling’s anecdote”.

She was not going to publish this article.

“Boy, gave birth to a baby quickly!” Ren Ziling slowly closed her eyes. Before going to sleep, she smiled faintly, “I prepared a lot of interesting stories to talk to my grandkid.”

The sleeping subeditor hoped that she could have a good dream. She did not know that at night, the boy she wanted to have a baby quickly, was now in the fishing village beach.

The club boss, maid maids, and the ‘dead’ Lui Buhai were there.

“Thank you.” Lui Buhai looked at Luo Qiu. He seemed very quiet.

After a lifetime of trials and hardships, the illiterate fisherman’s look turned deep rather than only sitting at the seaside in a trance.

“Customer, we merely finished your request.”

“No matter what,” Lui Buhai shook his head, “That is enough.”

He turned around and watched the night sky without brilliant starlight and the dark sea, walking step by step toward the sea.

The sea submerged his legs, his waist and his chest little by little.

When the sea was about to pass over his shoulder, the old man smiled slowly as if seeing the woman who floated from the sea many years ago.

“You said, you want to be a fish, and swim to the sea … maybe you really swam to the sea. Now, I will come to find you, Shui Er.”

When the sea submerged him at all, the old man turned into a giant bluefish, disappearing into the sea eventually.

Luo Qiu silently nodded toward the sea, whispering, “Customer, thank you for coming.”

Boss Luo was still enjoying the sea breeze but the club maid suddenly looked behind.

When the footsteps on the beach gradually became clear, they heard the voice of the young master of Taoism. “Sure enough, you have arranged the fake death of Lui Buhai.”

Luo Qiu turned around.

Momo frowned, “Why could Lui Buhai become a fish … No, he returned to his original body after the demonization and his life should not be too long. Maybe he will not be able to swim to the other side of the sea. I thought that Lui Yiyun’s demonization was the return of her ancestors passing from one generation to another. I thought that the woman who rushed to the beach was a monster. At least she has a monster’s blood. However, Lui Buhai… Who are you, why can you turn people into monsters? ”

“I didn’t turn him into a monster.” Luo Qiu shook his head, “As for the reason … Customer, do you want to know it?”

Momo gave a start.

At this moment, he seemed to sense the horrifying feeling of the first encounter with this senior once again.

This made his heart beat violently. So he unconsciously took a step backward.

Momo shook his head., “My intuition tells me that it can be very annoying.”

Luo Qiu smiled.

Momo took a deep breath, silently looking at the sea and suddenly saying, “You said that human souls are wonderful. Only a little light could dissipate all the darkness in human heart … But my master also said that human heart is the coldest.”

He looked at Luo Qiu. “So what is the heart?”

“I don’t know either and I’m looking for it too.” Luo Qiu shook his head. He looked at the sea, “But the coldest item is the heart and so is the warmest one.”

The coldest is the human heart.

The warmest it is too.

Momo said to himself, closing his eyes and sitting with cross legs at the beach all of a sudden. The golden light that he released seemed to be more powerful.

Looking at the satisfying look of the servant girl, Luo Qiu softly said, “Let’s go back.”

A few days ago.

In the office of Lui Chaosheng’s small clinic.

The servant girl found a document from the very inside of the locker.

So Miss Maid cracked a faint smile, whispering as looking at Luo Qiu: “Master, there are some interesting things.”

“Interesting things?”

The club boss took the file, opening and reading it.

This was some knowledge Lui Chaosheng found since he became a doctor in this small fishing village.

He found that some villagers had six ribs less than common people but they still lived a good life and were even healthier…
