Global Apocalypse: The True Young Master Awakens and Tames the Villain

Chapter 38



Liu Jinan clearly saw that there was more than admiration for a brother in those eyes that were as bright as stars. There was also the possessiveness of men over possessions. His heart skipped a beat. He didn’t know when Duan Haiping had developed such thoughts about him.

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Liu Jin’an rubbed Duan Haiping’s head. “I like all the gifts you gave me.”

“Then let me put it on for my brother!” Duan Haiping naturally took Liu Jin’an’s hand and buttoned the sapphire cufflinks on the cuffs of his shirt.

“Does it look good?” Liu Jin’an asked jokingly.

Duan Haiping nodded slightly; his eyes bright. “It looks good, but my brother is good looking.”

At the coming-of-age banquet at the age of eighteen, Duan Haiping went down on one knee and proposed to Liu Jin’an in front of all his relatives and friends.

He said, “I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together forever.”

He continued, “I like my brother, and my brother also likes me. Our identity, status, and wealth are enough for us to not be afraid of the eyes of the world. Brother, please give me a chance and let me take care of you.”

Please.

Like the devil’s whisper, like the fragrant and mellow tequila, it was intoxicating. This was the life he longed for. Harmony with relatives, companionship with loved ones, success in career, and freedom of wealth. Beautiful things were only within his reach. As long as he stretched out his hand and took a step, he could get them.

Liu Jin’an smiled, but tears rolled down his face. After all, one could not live in fantasy. He couldn’t change the past, he couldn’t give Duan Haiping a carefree childhood, but he could change the future, and he was working hard to change the plot in the Book of Superpowers.

He didn’t have parents who loved him, and he didn’t have clean and tidy room, but he had met the Hu family, who treated him sincerely. He didn’t have a lot of wealth, and he didn’t have rich clothes and food, but with the supplies he got from the Gu family, he wouldn’t starve to death.

Life was far from being as good as ideal, but it wasn’t as bad as it seemed.

“Stay, there is everything you want here. If you stay, you can have a perfect life.” That beguiling voice sounded in his mind.

Liu Jin’an took a deep breath and lowered his head to look at Duan Haiping, who was full of hope. Even if it was an illusion, he was reluctant to hurt him. “Haiping, there are still things for me to do. Brother loves you, but brother can’t stay here.”

The light in Duan Haiping’s eyes quickly faded. “Can’t brother stay for me? Does brother have to leave?”

Liu Jin’an said softly, “I’m sorry.”

As he pulled away, the world began to fall apart. Expensive crystal chandeliers and luxurious cashmere carpets were like broken old stairs, gradually breaking into pieces.

He returned to the dark, airtight cabin.

“Congratulations, you passed the test,” Wang Yunmei said in surprise. “You succeeded!”

Yes, it worked. Liu Jin’an looked at Xiao Duan, who happened to also look over.

“I thought it would be a long time, but I didn’t expect it to be less than two hours.”

He spent thirteen years in the illusion, but no one knew about these thirteen years except himself. He hid the regret in his eyes. Naturally, he missed the flash of tenderness in Duan Haiping’s eyes.

As Liu Jin’an passed the test, the seals on the two coffins were also lifted. Wang Gui held Wang Yunshan’s hand and floated in the air, bowing deeply in the direction of Liu Jin’an.

“Father, little sister.” Wang Yunmei’s eyes already filled with tears.

Wang Gui and Wang Yunshan smiled and waved, their figures gradually faded and finally disappeared.

Wang Yunmei wiped the tears from her eyes. “They have entered reincarnation. This is a good thing. Thank you, Master.” She knelt down devoutly, holding a cufflink in both hands, which was exactly the same as the cufflinks Duan Haiping had given him in the fantasy.

The blue light circulated, and a blue tattoo in the shape of a cufflink appeared on Liu Jin’an’s wrist.

“Master,” Wang Yunmei said weakly, “this is the gift of Jialinhe, and the ability it comes with is healing.”

“As long as the body’s functions were not completely destroyed, health could be restored.”

Liu Jin’an stroked the tattoo on his wrist. He looked at Wang Yunmei, who was exhausted, and whose face was like a paper. “You don’t look good. Can I treat you?”

Wang Yunmei smiled and shook her head. “It’s useless. My life has already been connected to it. If I peel it off, it means that I am about to die.”

“What?” Liu Jin’an was stunned. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

There had been no mention in the novel that Jialinhe’s gift came at the cost of the guardian’s death!

Wang Yunmei’s breath was weak, but her eyes were clear and bright. “A long life is just torture to me. I have done a lot of killing, and I just hoped that one day I could send my father and little sister to reincarnation, so that I could die without regrets.”

“Now, I am finally free. If the master has mercy on me, please put the wedding dress made by my mother into the river, let it drift with the current, and let me see the scenery I have never seen before.”

[May the mountains and rivers be beautiful and the oceans and rivers clear.

May the world be sincere and stir up the turbid and clear.

May there be no more suffering of separation of flesh and blood, and may the lights of thousands of homes be bright.]

Wang Yunmei’s figure disappeared into the air, and the ship began to fall apart. The spiritual treasure had recognized its master, and everything around him returned to its original state.

Liu Jin’an stood at the bridge, holding the bright red wedding dress in his hand. According to Wang Yunmei’s last wish, he came to the river and put the wedding dress into the river.

The wedding dress whirled and disappeared into the flowing river.

“During the test, you just watched me for more than an hour?” Liu Jin’an looked at Xiao Duan, who had been following him. “That was so boring.”

Duan Haiping hummed. “It’s quite boring.”

An illusion was an illusion and should not be taken seriously. How could he pester Liu Jin’an, calling him brother?

Liu Jin’an fiddled with the water and sighed. “I want to rename this spiritual treasure to Siqin (missing family). It’s not a Jialinhe’s gift. It’s just a child’s longing for his relatives.”

Duan Haiping said nonchalantly, “Whatever you want, it’s your own thing; it can be a cat or a dog.”

“Yes,” Liu Jin’an nodded with deep understanding. “For example, I can call you Xiao Duan, or I can call you Cat or Dog?”

Duan Haiping: “…”

It seemed that Liu Jin’an was in a good mood and even dared to make fun of him. Forget it, who asked him to be generous?

This man dared to refuse his confession. There would be many opportunities to get this debt back in the future.
