Meanwhile, in a bedroom on the second floor of Wenren Sheng's home.
Wu Shanshan sat alone by the window, staring blankly outside.
She had never felt so conflicted before. Not even on the night before the National College Entrance Examination had she felt this way.
The goal she had pursued for so long—reviving her mother—seemed about to be achieved.
Yet from this very moment, her feelings had become complicated.
Because according to the promise she had made before, she would win back her mother, but lose herself.
Could she break her promise? With his power, he should be able to do it, shouldn't he?
But if she did that, wouldn't she be shifting the danger she should bear onto him? She had once shouted at her father that she would bear all the consequences herself, yet in the end, she still had to rely on someone else's sacrifice to fulfill her own wishes.
What right did someone like her have to keep living?
And were consciousness and the soul really that important?
Even if someone else were placed inside that body, her careless father would still think it was his daughter, and her mother would still think it was her daughter.
Nothing would really be different.
As she thought about it, the image of a classical woman appeared in her mind.
"Do you regret it now?"
"N-No."
"Heh. People are always the quickest to go back on their word. Otherwise, why would a promise be worth a thousand pieces of gold? From the beginning, I never cared whether you would keep your promise, because you had no ability to regret it."
"Now that Soul Reincarnation is possible, you could simply find someone else."
"Why would I need to find someone else? There is a truth I never told you before.
