A rare magical miracle in the world

Chapter 276: Women First, Eat in Peace (Seeking Monthly Votes)



"With your talent, if you stay by my side, I can grant you anything!"

There weren't many in the world who could earn Ying Muyao's admiration, but the Emperor of the Dong Huang Empire was one of them.

"Your Majesty, I seek nothing else," Ying Muyao said, "only to return home."

"Very well."

Emperor Di Sui wasn't disappointed; rather, he admired him even more, "Then as you wish, go home, but remember my words: the gates of Dong Huang will always be open to you."

However, compared to high rank and illustrious achievements, Ying Muyao longed more to return to his brother's side, to continue to care for and protect him.

"Would you be my miracle?"

"I would." Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

Despite the Emperor of Dong Huang's repeated requests, Ying Muyao did not waver in the slightest, yet his brother's simple request left no room for hesitation.

"A thousand years."

Ying Muyao, with her hands clasped behind her back, raised her head and said wistfully, "Before I knew it, so much time has passed."

The Page of Miracles was burning; the body of the Empress of the East gradually became transparent and began to fade away.

However, she felt little fear towards death.

What she had was a sense of peace.

"You're moving forward," Ying Muyao said, "only I, remain in the past."

It was like having toiled all her life, and finally seeing the children married and surrounded by grandchildren—what was there to be reluctant about?

Did Ying Muyao cling on until today because she really wanted to settle scores with Bailuo?

Not at all. She came to Yatun simply to see Bailuo one more time.

"Ying Baizhou is dead; you are not him, your name is Bailuo, you're called..."

Tears welled up in Ying Muyao's eyes; she wanted to call Bailuo 'Ying Baizhou,' but she couldn't, because he was no longer the youth from her memories: "Bailuo..."

But, what of it?

Be it Ying Baizhou or Bailuo.

They were the same person; both her brothers.

As long as her brother was safe, and she could see with her own eyes that he was still alive, Ying Muyao was completely content.

As for her previous attempts to forcibly take Bailuo away, it was out of concern that her brother's abilities were not enough, that without her care, he might suffer hardship.

But looking at Isefia, Ying Muyao suddenly felt that her brother might no longer need her.

"In this life, I, Ying Muyao, have no regrets, nor do I care about how others judge me."

"Even if you betray me for a lifetime!"

Ying Muyao said to Bailuo, "I would never betray you, not even once."

"Wait!!!"

Bailuo could no longer remain calm, he said urgently, "Don't go!"

Bailuo didn't know why he wanted to hold onto Ying Muyao, but his heart ached, a tormenting pain, and he had a premonition that if Ying Muyao disappeared like this, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

But what to do?

How was he to do this?

Miracle turned to ash, Bailuo had never encountered such a thing; how was he supposed to act to save his sister?

"Tell me, how can I keep her here!"

In desperation, Bailuo repeatedly interrogated the Black Leather Book, and the result was a delightful surprise: "As long as she's willing, it can be done?"

Emperor Eternal was Bailuo's miracle to begin with; as long as Ying Muyao consented, then this Miracle Contract could naturally be reshaped.

But now the problem was not whether Bailuo could or couldn't, but whether the Empress of the East was willing!

If she wasn't willing, even Bailuo couldn't unilaterally restore the contract.

However, once the page completely burned away, Ying Muyao would really be gone forever, and there would be no way of bringing her back to life.

"Contract terms can be negotiated; everything can be discussed!"

Bailuo urgently said, "I can swear I'll never command you, nor control you, nor restrain you; all these can be witnessed by Miracle Power!"

To avoid displeasing Ying Muyao, Bailuo had nearly offered the best terms.

Even if bound by a contract, it would be just like it was now.

Apart from not being able to harm Bailuo, the Empress of the East was almost completely independent.

But Bailuo didn't mind, because the constraints of the contract were meaningless to Ying Muyao; even without a contract, Ying Muyao was still his sister, his Miracle Creature.

The important thing now was to save Ying Muyao's life, not get hung up here.

"That's not why I'm doing this."

Unfortunately, Ying Muyao shook her head; she wasn't threatening Bailuo, nor did she have any intention to coerce him.

If it was for bargaining, then she wouldn't be the Empress of the East.

"You have grown up."

Ying Muyao smiled, "Being capable of standing on your own, that is something I'm too pleased about."

To Bailuo, Ying Muyao naturally also felt fondness, just like with a brother.

But she no longer had a reason to stay.

Bailuo was more outstanding than Ying Baizhou, and besides, he had someone like Isefia with potential and talent on par with her by his side.

Ying Muyao's mindset at that moment was like a single mother seeing her child married a capable and virtuous wife.

"So, it's time for me to let go."

All this time, Ying Muyao had been very worried about her brother, fighting hard to protect and care for him.

"You no longer need me, do you?"

As she said these words, there was a smile on Ying Muyao's face; she was waiting for Bailuo to say 'yes', because that way, her life would be fulfilled.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself."

As a parent, how ardently one longs to hear their children can live strongly on their own, to see them independent.

Ying Muyao felt the same; she had waited anxiously for 800 years, fearing that Bailuo would be bullied upon his return, but now, Bailuo had eased her concerns, allowing her to close her eyes in peace, ready to enjoy eternal tranquility.

"This—"

Bailuo was stunned; he had contemplated many possibilities, but he had never imagined Ying Muyao would have her wishes fulfilled without a trace of attachment left.

"What to do?"

"How should this be handled?"

"Feiya! Feiya, do you have any way to persuade her?!"

In desperation, Bailuo had to play dirty, urging Isefia to step forward and provoke the Empress of the East properly, to stir her up. If Ying Muyao got angry, there would be a chance.
