Samsara Online Chapter 284 A small answer to endless questions

Xie Feng felt it was a pity that he could not get even a single answer to all the questions clouding his mind. Even so, he and Han Xue Nai did not know each other from anywhere, this was the first time the two had met face to face; the fact that someone as powerful as her would even take the trouble to talk to him as a peer to peer and without pretense was already something Xie Feng should feel happy about.

Moreover, the mere fact that an existence so powerful as Han Xue Nai was willing to give him advice was a good thing in itself. Being too greedy would only make things difficult for both of them and, just because she looked naive, Xie Feng wasn't sure if she wasn't simply faking it or not.... Who knows, maybe she was just pretending to be a ten-year-old girl but was actually an old monster that had lived for several thousand years.

As if she knew what he was thinking, Han Xue Nai narrowed her eyes and slowly said, "Handsome big brother, you're thinking something disrespectful aren't you?"

Xie Feng, taken by surprise, was about to nod unconsciously. However, his body disobeyed the involuntary reflex action, causing him to refuse with his head, "How can I be thinking something rude? Up until now, Xue Nai has only been a wonderful girl."

"*Hmph.*" Han Xue Nai snorted and was not fooled. "Don't think I don't know what's going through your mind. Just to let you know, I'm only 11 years old! Besides, I may not look like it but in reality, I'm a genius who rarely appears! I even have the possibility of becoming a True G.o.d in the future!"

Xie Feng was about to say something but as if he had received some kind of enlightenment, he suddenly thought of something and smiled slightly.

"Of course you are a genius!" Xie Feng nodded with a serious expression as he looked at the girl in front of him with eyes full of admiration. "You even destroyed such a huge star from such a great distance with a single fist. You even defeated the G.o.d of Human Sacrifices.... Do you know? That guy said he was actually one of the main G.o.ds that have existed since ancient times but in the end, just one slap from you was enough to slaughter him several times."

Han Xue Nai's eyes sparkled with delight after hearing Xie Feng's praise and unconsciously straightened her posture as if to emphasize her small chest.

"That's right! A small avatar at the peak of the Qi Detection realm can't stop Xue Nai at the peak of the Meridian Opening realm! Since no one in the Xiantian realm or above can get here, Xue Nai is invincible! Besides-...." Han Xue Nai was talking excitedly and revealing important information but suddenly she seemed to realize something and quickly shut her mouth.

...

Xie Feng began to sweat bullets as he looked at the little girl who was staring at him with teary eyes.... Had he gone too far?

"You... You... You're bullying me..." Han Xue Nai was having difficulty to finish a full sentence as she was fighting back the tears of injustice that threatened to fall at any moment.

"I'm sorry..." In the end, Xie Feng could only apologize and lower his head embarra.s.sedly. "It's just that too many strange things have been happening around me lately and I haven't been able to sleep comfortably due to all the questions surrounding me..."

"*Sniff...*" Han Xue Nai wrinkled her small nose and turned around to leave.

Xie Feng was about to say something and apologize again, since he had taken advantage of Han Xue Nai's simplemindedness because she was small, but she spoke first before him.

"If you want to be stronger, then you should hurry up and get to the top floor of the Heaven of Samsara. ... Besides, it's better for you if you gather all the pearls..." Han Xue Nai slammed the void and s.p.a.ce split in half, creating a pa.s.sageway and shocking Xie Feng and Mu Wuying even more than they already were.

Creating spatial pa.s.sages to travel vast distances in just a second! How much power was needed to accomplish such a feat!?

However, just when she was about to enter, Han Xue Nai seemed to remember something since she looked back and while looking at Xie Feng commented: "Handsome big brother, remember one thing .... Being first is ALWAYS worth more than being second!"

Without waiting for a reply, Han Xue Nai stepped through the pa.s.sageway and walked into a dark world; the broken void behind her regenerated and quickly everything returned to normal.

Han Xue Nai had disappeared. Now only Xie Feng and Mu Wuying were floating in the vast, wide, unknown outer s.p.a.ce of the universe. They both kept silent and stared into nothingness as they thought of all the things that had happened in just one night.

Han Xue Nai's final words were something Xie Feng had yet to think clearly about when he was alone and calmer, so he temporarily put them aside.

...

What was supposed to be a birthday party night ended up turning into a chain of events that developed more and more through different actions taken.

For example: If the patriarch of the Nangong Family, Nangong Wentian had not tried to threaten Gu Qianxue, Xie Feng would not have gotten upset and intervened in their conversation, which would later lead to Nangong Wentian challenging Xie Feng to a battle due to the anger and embarra.s.sment he felt.

If not for Xie Feng defeating and planning to kill Nangong Wentian, the ancestor Nangong Jun would not have shown himself; which would later lead to Xie Feng challenging the ancestor of the Nangong Family to a one-attack battle.... And if it were not for this battle, Xie Feng would not have met the perverted and arrogant Luiz Fernandez, which would end with Xie Feng killing him due to the insulting words of the "G.o.d" of the Amazonian region of South America.

As a result of Luiz Fernandez's death, the G.o.d of Human Sacrifice descended to the mortal world to avenge his devotee, which caused a terrifying battle to break out between Xie Feng and one of the most powerful G.o.ds in existence... At the same time, if none of this had happened, Xie Feng would not have met little Han Xue Nai.

Xie Feng closed his eyes and his lips curved slightly upward, unconsciously muttering, "Destiny is interesting.... It is mysterious, how a single action can create countless paths and how each choice eliminates countless other paths we could have taken."

Mu Wuying nodded and whispered softly, "That's right.... When we choose the right path there is no going back so the left path along with billions of possibilities is closed to us."

After Mu Wuying finished saying those words the place was silent for almost five full minutes. Neither of the two said a single word and they simply just appreciated the beauty of the silence as well as the wonderful view ahead of them that almost no human being could enjoy.

"Wuying..."

Xie Feng interrupted the silence and, for the first time in two years, he called the woman beside him by her first name and ignored her last name. In other countries it might not be a big deal, but in some Asian countries like China and j.a.pan only extremely close people addressed each other only by first name and no last name.

"Mm?" Mu Wuying looked at him and waited in silence.

"Why did you break up with me back then?" Xie Feng asked directly.

That was a question he had that he had simply ignored before. But now that he had thousands of unanswered questions and had a person capable of answering some of them, Xie Feng decided to ease his burdens. Besides, it was obvious that Mu Wuying still loved him and it was impossible for him to say that she meant nothing but past to him; therefore, he really wanted to know what her motives were.

Mu Wuying smiled bitterly and said somewhat helplessly, "Feng, believe me when I tell you that leaving you is more painful for me than for you..." She looked at him with overflowing love and said without any modesty: "To me you are everything. More important than my own life, more important than my whole family, more important than anyone in the world!"

"Then..."

Before Xie Feng could finish, Mu Wuying interrupted him, "But the break up of our relations.h.i.+p was necessary.... Not only for Xie Yao, but also to clarify some things. I don't want to make irresponsible statements that I'm sure will end up hurting you in case I'm wrong, therefore, I only ask you to confide in me."

She looked at him with imploring eyes and continued, "I just need some time...when my doubts are completely cleared no matter what my family says, I will come back to your side. Even if I have to beg to Xie Yao I'm willing."

Xie Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the end, he couldn't get the answer he wanted..... But it's not like he didn't get anything either.

"I don't think you need to beg her." Xie Feng wrapped one of his arms around her thin waist and drew her to him. "I don't know what's going through that girl's mind, but Yaoyao seems more open-minded nowadays."

Mu Wuying smiled charmingly. More than two years since the last time she received a caress from him, so being embraced by her beloved, it was hard to describe in mere words her current feelings. Happiness? It was too insignificant a word in comparison.

She involved her thin white arms around his neck and whispered: "And then? Do you think she will accept me being by your side?"

Xie Feng put his forehead on hers and smiled slightly. "I'm sure she will accept you with a smile.... You're both great women, you'll undoubtedly get along great with each other."

After a few seconds of silence, with an enchanting atmosphere surrounding them, the two pairs of lips that had been separated more than two years ago met once again.

What did destiny await? Neither of them knew. They, who were still too weak to oppose the natural forces of the universe, could only advance one step at a time while trying not to fall and striving to grow and gain absolute control over their own destiny.
