Chapter 19: Must I go against my own heart to understand the Dao?
Luo didn't know when this began but when he was watching the wolf slowly exhaling his last breath, a few drops of tears rolled down his cheeks. Luo felt a suffocating feeling, he knew what it was but still couldn't make a head or tail of the situation.
He felt sadness, and his new heart was grieving, but he didn't know why he felt those emotions, even though he still felt those emotions, it was very rare for him to be overwhelmed by them, no it wasn't rare, it never happened since his first life. His heart was already made into ice in his first life.
Maybe sensing the sadness of Luo, the cloud above Luo let down their own tears. Rain surrounded Luo, it was the first rain that Luo has seen since he appeared in this new world. The emotions within his heart were in turmoil, Luo felt weird.
Seeing the blood run down the fur of the wolf, seeing the wolf whimpering in pain while it was at death door, Luo didn't know what to do, he felt as if his mind was covered in fog. Having no energy in this world, even Luo having millions of arts couldn't do a miracle.
The body of Luo was still injured, he didn't find any tonic, so his body was still slowly recovering from his old injuries, not having a tonic meant that he could never fully recover. After all, he was only an ordinary mortal, having these type of injuries for mortal was a death sentence but since Luo possessed absolute control over his body, he could still slowly managed to heal those deathly wound to an acceptable range, even though Luo knew he would be crippled, he still healed himself to an acceptable range.
His foggy mind still heard that emotionless voice indicating that he had a faint understanding toward the Dao of Blood, and other Dao, but Luo didn't know why but he felt that this voice was too heartless, he know that it was only a formation, a remnant left behind by the Chaos Lord but he still felt resentment.
Luo didn't why, but he used his left hand to jab a few times on the wolf body, then the wolf had a look of relief. When his brain processed what happened, he was dumbstruck, he destroyed the nerves used to sense the pain of the wolf, did he want the wolf to have a peaceful death?
Luo looked at his left hands, tears were still rolling down his cheeks but Luo felt that he understood a lot of things, he didn't know what they were but he still had understood something, and that understanding will be useful later on, his instinct was telling him to cherish those fleeting thought that he had.
Luo slowly patted down the head of the wolf, who slowly let down his body fall onto Luo, seeing the rain mixing with the blood, Luo slowly raised his head and looked toward the sky, the sky was filled with dark cloud, the dark clouds were filling the sky, Luo felt as if something was hiding behind this sky.
Then Luo felt his own heart, isn't it me?
The world was silent, except the raindrops falling down on the forest no other sound could be heard.
Luo murmured to himself under the tears of the sky:
"This fifth life of mine, hold more weight in my heart than my four previous life.
This fifth life of mine just began but it already is such a mess. The beginning is already such a mess, I wonder what my ending will be?
To understand the Dao, I must go with the flow of the Dao, but must I go against the flow of my own heart?"
Luo had a sickly pale look, his black eyes who were looking through one's soul were filled with sadness and melancholy.
A bit farther from Luo, a group made of three young master and three young mistresses surrounded by a group of guards were slowly making their way toward Luo, guards were holding umbrellas for them as they followed a trace of blood.
One of the young mistresses was talking to the leading young man, while she was carefully riding her horse through the obstacle of the forest.
"Young master Su, do we really need to have that wolf? It doesn't seem that special to me."
The leading young man who is named Su responded with a smile filled with expectation:
"Young miss Dong, you are wrong, I am pretty sure that wolf is a lot different from a normal wolf, first of all, that wolf was way stronger than an ordinary wolf and way more intelligent. And I strongly suspect that wolf is one of those wolves who lived long enough to gain sentience."
"And what difference does it make? You Su Fang! If you uselessly made me go into this dirty rain, I swear that I will make you regret it!" immediately the young miss besides the Young miss named Dong harshly answered back.
The young man named Su had an embarrassed expression
"Little sister Hao, don't worry, if it really is useless, I will give my VIP ticket to the Saolao Pavillion."
"Promise?"
"Promise"
While the group was slowly navigating between the trees, they felt the temperature around them get colder, as they slowly got closer to Luo not only the temperature got cold, even their well-tamed horse slowed down their pace. Strangely a bit of fear could be seen in the eyes of the horse.
When they got a bit nearer everyone's horse stopped moving.
One of the guards felt his horse tremble a bit, immediately the guard unmounted his horse and checked it. He quickly gave a signal alerting everyone.
Another young man beside the young man name Su immediately spoke up:
"Su, it got colder, and the horse won't move, I think this place may be dangerous"
"Don't worry, maybe it's the wolf that used one of its secret technique to protect its corpse"
The guard around the young man also advised him to go back. As the young man was trying to convince everyone that everything was safe. One of the young misses, the one named Hao, who was also the youngest sneakily walked up inside the forest. Well, the sneaky Hao young miss didn't escape her personal guards' eyes but he didn't forbid her from going, he just silently followed her.
