Chapter 945: Ruler of Esports 59

After leaving the mission world, Tang Wan didn’t recover immediately.

It took her a long moment before she finally snapped—

“Fuck!”

Her face darkened with frustration.

Tong Tong had just proposed… and then the aurora turned into lightning and struck them?

What kind of ridiculous ending was that?

Seeing her clearly on edge, Little Cutie spoke carefully, “Host… this is normal operation. Aren’t you used to it yet?”

“Used to it?” Tang Wan scoffed coldly. “That’s impossible.”

If she didn’t care, then dying wouldn’t matter.

But every single world—

She had been serious.

She had genuinely fallen in love with him each time.

And yet, just when things reached their sweetest point, everything ended abruptly.

How could she not be angry?

Little Cutie gave an awkward smile and quickly reported her reaction to the main system.

Outside, within a space of white light—

A pale man stood quietly, his gaze soft as it lingered on the glowing sphere.

Beside him, a boy in black—bearing a resemblance to Feng Qitong—spoke up.

“Master, Master Tang is complaining again. She’s upset about dying.”

The man smiled faintly.

“I know.”

Of course he knew.

She must be wondering—every time—why they could never stay together until the end.

But there was nothing he could do.

To refine the Wanling Orb, his soul had nearly shattered completely. Without it, he would have ceased to exist long ago.

And the reason they always “died” after she completed her mission…

Wasn’t because he didn’t want to stay.

It was because he couldn’t.

The moment he confirmed that she had truly fallen in love with him, his already unstable soul would react to that overwhelming joy—causing instability and forcing him out of the virtual world.

In simpler terms—

He was too happy.

Too certain.

And that happiness became the very thing that broke the illusion.

Still, he never told her the truth.

He didn’t dare.

Because he couldn’t afford to lose her.

Not like that.

Only when he was absolutely certain—completely certain—of her feelings would he reveal everything.

Otherwise…

What if she regained her memories one day and regretted it?

The boy hesitated, then asked, “Master, why don’t you carry your memories into the worlds? Wouldn’t that make things easier?”

The man shook his head gently.

“What would be the point?”

“She has no memory of the past. And besides…” his lips curved slightly, “…I quite enjoy being loved by her again and again, in different forms.”

No matter who he became—

She would always fall for him.

That feeling was something he didn’t want to lose.

If he carried his memories, he might not be able to separate the past from the present.

And if she didn’t know the truth…

Then she would continue to think about him.

Miss him.

Wonder about him.

And slowly—

Truly fall in love with him.

The boy fell silent, deep in thought.

Then suddenly said, “Master, she’s about to enter the next world.”

“I know. Send me in.”

“Yes, Master.”

In the next instant—

The man’s figure vanished.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan opened her eyes again.

She found herself standing in front of a quiet farmyard.

A brand new world had begun.
