Later, they encountered a grand celebration of the Mata Kingdom and saw several familiar figures with their own eyes.
The Mata Kingdom’s most revered sage and the National Advisor sat together in an ancient and magnificent carriage. They sat side by side, hands joined, and whenever their gazes met, one could clearly feel how deep the affection between them was.
Ning Luo froze. Black Wolf and the others also stared blankly at the carriage.
“Lady Ah Guoguo truly is the most brilliant sage.”
“That’s right, our Mata Kingdom was able to unify the beast world all thanks to Lady Ah Guoguo.”
“The National Advisor is also incredible, he brought back so many good things for us.”
“I even heard that Lady Ah Guoguo was originally seized and brought back by King Lari. Later, with her wisdom, she chose to work with the kind and benevolent King Xili, and that is how today’s Mata Kingdom came to be.”
“Thank the benevolent King Xili for bringing Lady Ah Guoguo to us. I am willing to pray every day for their long lives and good health.”
Listening to the legends about Tang Guo, Ning Luo’s face turned completely pale. She leaned to the side, her entire body devoid of strength. Black Wolf also stared at the carriage as it disappeared into the distance, his eyes stinging, his heart filled with indescribable emotions. Was it regret? Perhaps it was.
He had once said that Ning Luo was more important to the tribe, and also important to him. Who could have imagined that Ah Guoguo alone would change the entire beast world. Which mattered more was obvious at a glance. Even Ning Luo, whom he claimed was so important to him, he had abandoned without hesitation. Did he like Ning Luo? He did. But as time passed, that fondness faded and was worn away.
The members of the Lado Tribe also saw Ah Guoguo. Their reactions were similar to Ning Luo’s, though with even more regret, regret over why they had not stopped Ah Guoguo from being taken away back then.
When they later saw Aoli and her mates and learned of their identities, that regret and frustration reached its peak.
In the days that followed, whenever the Lado Tribe members saw Ning Luo, they could not help but mock her with cold sarcasm. Black Wolf and the others acted as if they saw nothing. When Ning Luo was bullied by the Lado Tribe members in some corner, she thought back to the past and regretted that she had not taken Vigo with her when she left. If Vigo had been there, he would certainly have protected her.
She wanted to go back and look for Vigo, but she could not bear to give up the prosperity here. She no longer had any chance to enter the city again.
How she wished that Vigo would come to find her. She waited and waited, but Vigo never came.
Tang Guo’s life came to its end. Yin Yao had sensed it long ago. “Ah Guoguo, you do not need to say words of comfort. You are about to leave, and I am about to lose you. No matter what is said, it cannot comfort me.”
“Ah Guoguo, I am very sad. Someone as wise as you, who has received the blessings of the entire Mata Kingdom, why could you not stay with me a little longer?”
Yin Yao held Tang Guo and reverently kissed her forehead.
“Then I will not say words to comfort A Yao. Let us look forward to meeting again in the next life.”
Yin Yao smiled. “My Ah Guoguo really knows how to soothe people.” He held her tightly. “All right, then we will meet again in the next life.”
Aoli came to Tang Guo’s side, took her hand, and looked at her steadily. “Ah Guoguo, you too, right?” You also have memories of a past life, do you not?
“You could say that,” Tang Guo replied with a smile in her eyes. Aoli hugged her and softly said by her ear, “I was too willful back then. I am sorry.”
“It is all right.”
Tang Guo’s life ended, but for tens of thousands of years afterward, she lived on forever in the hearts of the Mata Kingdom’s people. Statues of Sage Ah Guoguo stood everywhere, and countless people worshiped her. Beside her statue stood that devoted National Advisor Yin Yao, who had followed her in death. Their wisdom inspired admiration, and their love was so pure that others yearned for it.
…
When Tang Guo woke again, she was sitting at a computer desk. She glanced around. This was a small cubicle made with pretty curtains. Around the desk were a microphone, speakers, and a whole set of livestream equipment. There was even a gaming pod beside it.
Games? A streamer?
These words popped into her mind, and immediately after, her phone rang.
