Chapter 186 Those Forgotten Memories
Chapter 186 Those Forgotten Memories
In the realm of gods, there is a marriage stone that has the same function as the red thread of fate from the Old Man Under the Moon. Yu Liu had heard of it before, but had never actually seen it.
It is said that if two people's names are engraved on a marriage stone, there is a great chance that they will be together. In addition, there is the red thread of fate from the Old Man Under the Moon. These two things are what the gods who are struggling in the sea of love and cannot get what they want most.
The red thread of fate only works if it's tied by the Old Man Under the Moon himself, and with him overseeing it, nothing bad has ever happened. But the marriage stone is different. As long as your weapon is powerful enough to carve your name and the name of the person you love on it, it can work regardless of who carves it.
Because of this, the Marriage Stone became a hot commodity, causing many gods to fight over leaving their names on it. In the end, the Jade Emperor had to send people to protect it. Under normal circumstances, gods were not qualified to carve their names on the Marriage Stone.
Yu Liu looked up at the huge stone in front of her, where the two words "marriage" were particularly eye-catching.
"Grandpa Yue, what are you doing?"
Yu Liu was puzzled. Did she have to write her name on the marriage stone? But didn't Grandpa Yue just say that the red thread didn't work? Would the marriage stone, which has the same function as the red thread, work?
"Wait for me here."
The Old Man of the Moon released Yu Liu's hand, gave her some instructions, and walked to the Marriage Stone, extending his right hand and placing it on the stone.
Yu Liu stared wide-eyed as the Marriage Stone emitted a faint glow in the Old Man of the Moon's hand. The two characters for "marriage" disappeared, and names slowly emerged.
Finally, the names faded away, and the surface of the marriage stone returned to its plain state. Suddenly, a dark purple box appeared on the marriage stone.
The Old Man of the Moon withdrew his hand and caught the box that flew towards him.
"Grandpa Moon?"
As the Old Man of the Moon walked towards her step by step, Yu Liu felt a sudden pang of panic for some reason.
"Little Liu'er, tell Grandpa, do you really want to be with Xiao Yan Ning forever and ever?"
The Old Man of the Moon looked at Yu Liu with a solemn voice, and Yu Liu felt waves of pressure coming from him.
It seems... this time, my answer... is the most important one yet.
Do you want to be with Aning forever?
Of course I want to.
My old friends, who followed him around for so long, are finally able to be with him, and of course they don't want to be separated!
After thinking about this, Yu Liu nodded solemnly: "I really want to!"
"Alright, now that you've made this decision, you must take responsibility for it from now on." The Old Man of the Moon smiled with satisfaction and opened the box in his hand.
Inside the box was a transparent rectangular jade holder, with part of the jade hollowed out in the middle, and a roll of gold stuff placed on it.
When the Old Man of the Moon took out the golden object and spread it out, Yu Liu realized that it was a golden thread, just like the Old Man of the Moon's red thread, except for the color.
"Take this." The Old Man of the Moon handed the golden thread to Yu Liu: "I have completed my mission, and the item has been returned to its rightful owner."
"Huh?" Yu Liu tilted her head, confused. "Grandpa Yue, what are you talking about?"
"It's nothing." The Old Man of the Moon shook his head, then pointed to the golden thread and said, "This thing... you can think of it as my red thread, but I can't tie it for you. You, Xiao Liu'er, need to tie it yourself on your and Xiao Yan Ning's wrists. Once it's tied, you will never be separated."
"Really?"
"Well, but..."
"But what?" The matchmaker's hesitant tone made Yu Liu tense up instantly.
"However, this can actually be damaged." The Old Man of the Moon's eyes became somewhat complicated as he looked at Yu Liu, who had suddenly become anxious, and explained to her in detail: "Little Liu, you don't need to worry too much. This golden thread is very strong. If you tie it to your and Xiao Yan Ning's wrists, then in this world, only you and Xiao Yan Ning can destroy it."
"If you have faith in him and he won't break the golden thread, then tie it on."
The worst fear is... that the falling petals may be willing, but the flowing water is indifferent...
The Old Man of the Moon felt some worry, but there were some things he didn't say aloud.
Although he was in charge of love in this world, he never understood love at all.
What exactly are Xiao Liu'er's feelings for Xiao Yan Ning? The Old Man of the Moon doesn't know, nor does he know the future. Will Xiao Liu'er regret it? Xiao Yan Ning might meet someone she likes, and what will become of their relationship? The Old Man of the Moon knows none of this. In fact, he already regretted it after taking out the golden thread.
They are still young, and Xiao Liu'er is even more clueless. She may not even understand what feelings are. He was so eager to give her the things, not knowing whether it was good or bad for her.
The Old Man of the Moon gave a silent, bitter smile. Watching Xiao Liu'er's happy departing figure, he couldn't be infected by her joy. He sighed heavily, turned around, and walked away with faltering steps.
Yu Liu clutched the golden thread lying in her palm tightly and skipped back home.
As long as they tie this thing to their wrists, they will never be separated again. Just thinking about it is so exciting!
As for the issue of potential damage mentioned by the Old Man of the Moon, Yu Liu wasn't worried at all. She would never damage the golden thread, and she was confident in A Ning as well.
"Ah Ning, Ah Ning~"
The moment Yu Liu saw Yan Ning, she joyfully threw herself into his arms.
"Ah Ning, I have something good to show you!" Yu Liu snuggled against him, opened her palm, and handed it to Yan Ning.
“Ah Ning, look, this is what Grandpa Yue gave me! He said that as long as we tie this thread to our wrists, we will never be separated. Ah Ning, Ah Ning, shall I tie it for you?” Yu Liu said coquettishly, with a hint of pride and a lot of flattery.
Yan Ning looked at the golden thread and was skeptical of the explanation, but his heart softened at the sight of Yu Liu's ingratiating smile.
"it is good."
He extended his right hand and presented it to Yu Liu.
Yu Liu immediately smiled even more brightly, and quickly wrapped the golden silk thread around his wrist. After thinking for a moment, she tied a slipknot.
Unexpectedly, the moment the rope was tied, a faint light emanated from the connection point, and the knot disappeared instantly, as if the golden thread had always been on Yan Ning's wrist.
"Huh... how did it become like this?" Yu Liu touched the seemingly natural connection, somewhat puzzled.
"That's good, we won't have to worry about taking it off anymore." It's quite humane that we can wear it all the time.
Yan Ning smiled, reached out and took Yu Liu's right hand, tying the other end of the silk thread to her wrist.
"All right."
The golden thread doesn't look very long, but it automatically changes length in a very user-friendly way, and other objects can't touch it, so it doesn't affect normal life.
Looking at the golden thread on her wrist, Yu Liu thought of the person connected to it, and her heart filled with joy.
From then on, Aning would be with Xiaoliu forever.
My vision began to blur again, but that golden ray seemed to be etched into my heart.
