Third Simulation: Sacrificed Parents, Boundless Power?

Misty Cloud Sect.

Back mountain.

In a quiet little courtyard!

Nalan Yanran suddenly sat up in bed, drenched in fragrant sweat as though she had just been pulled from the water!

Her face was filled with fear, regret, and pain.

After a long while.

Her gaze swept across the room.

"Could it be... that everything was just a dream?"

"But... why did it feel so real?"

Nalan Yanran murmured softly, her tone carrying thirty percent confusion and seventy percent sorrow.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so immature and gone to the Xiao Family to break off the marriage that way, Hao Gege wouldn't have died."

"It's all That Woman's fault!"

"I already said it was all my fault, but that stubborn woman wouldn't listen at all. She not only destroyed the Misty Cloud Sect, but even cruelly killed Hao Gege!!"

Nalan Yanran sank into deep self-reproach.

If she could do it all over again, she would never break off the engagement that way!

Nalan Yanran got out of bed, walked to the table, and poured herself a cup of water.

Moistening her dry throat!

Suddenly!

She abruptly remembered that she truly seemed to have a betrothal by finger-pointing with the Third Young Master of the Xiao Family in Wu Tan City!

Could it be...

What had just happened was not a dream...

But all real?

And she...

Had been reborn?!

But where was her Hao Gege?

Where had he gone?

"Yan Ran, when you use a sword, your wrist must remain flexible!"

"Yan Ran, cultivation cannot be rushed. You must proceed step by step and build a solid foundation!"

"Yan Ran, this is a gift I brought back for you from my travels!"

"Yan Ran..."

Those warm scenes from her memories played through her mind!

Making her smile despite herself.

But when she thought of that final moment, when he had been cruelly killed by That Woman in order to protect her!

Pain surged onto Nalan Yanran's face.

She clutched her head with both hands and collapsed onto the table!

Her silver teeth bit hard into her red lips, allowing a trace of crimson to seep through her teeth and onto her tongue.

Her delicate body trembled slightly.

The sound of her sobbing echoed through the quiet room.

Tears slid down her tender cheeks and dripped onto the table.

Drip.

Drip.

Drip...

After a long while.

Nalan Yanran raised her head.

Two trails of tears still hung on her cheeks.

She wiped them away with her sleeve.

A trace of determination rose in her eyes!

"Hao Gege, in my previous life, you risked everything to protect me. In this new life, let Yan Ran protect you instead!"

Nalan Yanran clenched her fists.

"Before that, I still have to go to the Xiao Family and break off the engagement. I belong to Hao Gege alone!! But I won't use such a rude method again!"

With the experiences of her previous life.

She had matured considerably as well!

She was no longer that willful young lady from a wealthy family, the Young Mistress of the Misty Cloud Sect!

"I'll go speak to my teacher now. I'll bring more gifts as compensation for the Xiao Family, and I'll discuss the matter of breaking off the engagement privately with Uncle Xiao! Then things won't develop into that situation."

Having made up her mind, Nalan Yanran immediately washed her face and changed clothes.

She found Yun Yun and told her about the matter.

Yun Yun did not stop her and agreed to her request.

She told Ge Ye to take her there after some time.

Nalan Yanran secretly swore that after breaking off the engagement, she would cultivate diligently.

Even if she had to travel to the ends of the earth, she would definitely find Ye Hao!

Likewise!

Once she became strong enough, she would find That Woman too!

And teach her a proper lesson!

Avenge her previous life!

Xiao Family, rear courtyard.

Inside a quiet room.

A breathtakingly beautiful girl in a light purple dress sat up from her bed, drenched in fragrant sweat!

Her face was filled with fury, and golden flames flickered in her eyes!

"Soul Clan! Damned Soul Clan!!!"

"I, Gu Xun'er, swear that I will make you pay!"

Xun Er clenched her delicate fists, and a cold killing intent appeared on her pretty face!

She firmly believed that everything just now was absolutely not a dream!

Because dreams could not be so real!

She felt that she must have been reborn, only awakening the memories of her previous life today!

When she recalled the final scene of her past life.

The frostiness on Xun Er's lovely face grew even colder.

If not for that damned Soul Clan, she and Hao Gege would already have wandered the Dou Qi Continent as an immortal couple!

"I wonder whether Hao Gege is still in my Ancient Clan in this life."

After calming herself down.

Xun Er raised her snow-white arm and gently shook it!

The bell on her wrist rang with a crisp jingle!

Very soon.

A black shadow emerged from the shadows in the room.

The newcomer respectfully bowed to Xun Er.

"Miss, did you summon me?"

"Elder Ling, is there someone named Ye Hao in the clan?"

Ling Ying froze, not understanding why the young lady would suddenly ask such a question.

"This old servant will have Lü Ying inquire at once."

"Good! You must tell me within three days!! If he isn't there, then even if you have to turn the entire Dou Qi Continent upside down, you must find him!!"

Ling Ying's mouth twitched. Three days?

Wasn't that far too tight?

And what exactly had this Ye Hao done to make the young lady so desperate to find him?

"This old servant obeys."

After Ling Ying left.

Xun Er walked to the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and wrapped her red lips around its rim.

"Hao Gege! No matter where you are, Xun Er will definitely find you in this life! We'll avenge ourselves against the Soul Clan together!!"

At that moment, faint footsteps sounded outside the room.

Xun Er turned her head to look.

She saw a figure cast upon the door from outside!

She did not need to open the door to know that it was undoubtedly Xiao Yan again!

Her willow brows immediately furrowed.

For the past ten years, Xiao Yan had sneaked outside her room every night.

She had no idea what he was doing!

During the day, he constantly pestered her, flaunting his cultivation talent before her!

Even after his Dou Qi had mysteriously vanished three years ago and his realm had fallen to Three-stage Dou Disciple, he had not given up!

Bang!

Xun Er raised the teacup in her hand and angrily smashed it against the doorframe!

The cup shattered on impact.

"Get lost! If you dare sneak around outside my room again, I'll have someone break your legs!"

Xiao Yan fled in terror, scrambling away as fast as he could.

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere.

After Ye Hao arranged with Zhang San to go to the Miter Auction House seven days later in the morning to rent a shop.

Ye Hao returned to the Blacksmith Shop.

And lay comfortably on his bed!

"System, use the Third Simulation opportunity!"

Otherwise, he would have to wait another six months!

The sooner he used it, the sooner it would reset.

[ Ding, simulation opportunity used successfully! ]

[ Activating simulation opportunity... ]

[ Explosive Good Luck shall always accompany you. ]

Although this Explosive Good Luck occasionally went haywire!

It had to be said that it really was a good thing!

Overall, the rewards from the first two simulations still seemed pretty good now!

[ You were born into the Jia Ma Empire Royal Family and became a prince of the Jia Ma Empire. ]

Ye Hao: "With fortune on my side, who can compare?"

Aside from the first simulation being a little miserable, his status in the other two simulations had been noble!

[ You were born at the edge of the Tagor Desert. The moment you were born, you drew the attention of the Snake People Tribe! ]

[ To protect you, your parents entrusted you to their subordinate while they lured away the Snake People Tribe's experts. ]

[ Your luck was very good. The Snake People Tribe did not discover your whereabouts and believed that you had escaped, allowing you to survive this calamity. ]

[ From then on, your parents' whereabouts were unknown. ]

Ye Hao: "..."

Was this sacrificing his parents for boundless power?
