Chapter 1102: She Is Doing Well With Me
Lu Yang froze on the spot, beads of sweat covering his forehead.
Why is Hui Doudou here? And why has she come looking straight for me?
He noticed that the passersby went about their business, utterly oblivious to Hui Doudou’s presence. Naturally, they overlooked his existence as well.
Is this what Big Senior Sister and the Immortal Fairy had described—the hallmark of Hui Doudou having drawn extremely close to Transcendence?
I have little doubt that if Hui Doudou hadn’t needed information about the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s whereabouts, she would have killed me the instant our eyes met!
She has actually been able to sense my presence all along. But why has she only chosen to confront me now? Was there some unforeseen event, or is there a reason that leaves her no choice but to seek me out?
Lu Yang met Hui Doudou’s gaze. Her eyes were as still as an ancient well. Though she bore the exact same features as the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, she gave him a completely different feeling.
Hui Doudou had no interest in Lu Yang. It didn’t matter to her whether he was the number one prodigy of the current era or had defeated the Timekeeper Divine Lord with an immortal body. She simply wanted to know where the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had gone.
Instinct told her that finding Lu Yang would lead her to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy.
Ever since Lu Yang had arrived in Demon City, she had been torn over whether to ask about the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s whereabouts.
“Senior, perhaps we should find another place to—” Lu Yang wanted to ease the tension, but Hui Doudou cut him off coldly.
"How long-winded. Where is she?”
The aura of death and annihilation shrouded Lu Yang. She merely needed a single thought to grind him to dust.
“That’s enough!”
A peerlessly beautiful figure drifted out from within Lu Yang, dispersing the suffocating aura of annihilation that had enveloped him. She glared furiously at Hui Doudou.
Even though the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had mentally prepared herself beforehand, she still couldn’t help but be surprised upon seeing Hui Doudou’s identical features.
“Everlasting Immortal, so you have been inside this kid’s mental space all this time.”
The moment she laid eyes on the Everlasting Immortal Fairy, Hui Doudou’s hands clenched into fists, as though she might lash out at any second. But in the end, she slowly unclenched her fists.
Originally, she had been overwhelmed by a whirlpool of unknown emotions, but she now relaxed. Her attitude was no longer as aggressive as before.
“Walk with me for a while.”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stared at Hui Doudou for a while, then nodded and said, “Alright.”
The two women walked side by side down the street, like twin sisters with different styles, forming a beautiful tableau.
But this scene was visible only to Lu Yang, who followed behind. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Hui Doudou’s threat was undeniably terrifying. None of the Four Ancient Immortals was her match. Among the enemies Lu Yang knew, she was second only to the mastermind behind the scenes.
Lu Yang had initially wanted to summon Yun Zhi, but the Everlasting Immortal Fairy stopped him, stating that she intended to deal with Hui Doudou herself.
“Who would have thought you would be resurrected in this era, Everlasting Immortal? If the Heaven Mandate Immortal, the Qilin Immortal, and the others know of your existence, they would surely be overjoyed.”
Hui Doudou looked at her other self, emotions welling up within her.
“Everlasting Immortal, do you know? I truly envy you. After your death, Little He, Lianyi, Little Ling, Heaven Mandate, Qilin, Epoch, Nine-Layers... so many people cared about you and wanted to resurrect you.
“To that end, they meticulously studied the power of incense, established the Ember Legacy Dynasty, founded the Heavenly Court, and set up the Underworld, trying every possible method.
“Unfortunately for them, the one they resurrected was me.
“You probably know my origin, right?”
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stared at Hui Doudou. She had taken a path completely different from her own. “The cycle of reincarnation in the Underworld resurrected me from the time when I possessed the Silent Annihilation Incipient Dao Fruit.”
“That’s right. I am another you.” Hui Doudou gave a self-deprecating chuckle, one that contained an indescribable loneliness.
“After Heaven Mandate and the others resurrected me, they surrounded me every day, telling me your story. They told me I would surely abandon the Silent Annihilation Incipient Dao Fruit, condense the Everlasting Incipient Dao Fruit, condense the Everlasting Dao Fruit, and become the real you.
“Can you imagine how I felt? One moment, I was a half-immortal on the verge of becoming an immortal—the first immortal in history. The next moment, I was transported a hundred thousand years into the future with an immortal body, becoming the supreme ruler of the Heavenly Court.”
Lu Yang tried to imagine Hui Doudou’s feelings at that time. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to describe it as “the seas have turned into mulberry fields” and “things remain the same, but people have changed.”
Hui Doudou continued, “Although the faces around me were familiar, the Heaven Mandate Immortal and the others were completely different from how I remembered them. They possessed many memories that I lacked. When they looked at me, they were not looking at me—they were looking at you.
“Among all my old acquaintances, only Little He treated me as myself, not as the Everlasting Immortal.”
“Little He?”
Upon hearing that familiar name, the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s expression stirred.
I have been closest to Little Ling, Lianyi, and Little He. Of these three, only Little He’s whereabouts remain a mystery. Even the Heaven Mandate Immortal doesn’t know where she is now.
“Yes, Little He.” At the mention of Qing He, Hui Doudou’s tense face softened into a gentle smile before it quickly returned to her usual expression.
“After my resurrection, she was the one who noticed how uncomfortable I was in this unfamiliar environment. She took the initiative to stay by my side, never asking anything of me. She just told me not to overthink and to learn how to go with the flow.
“Although my soul comes from the past you, I also originate from incense faith and am influenced by it. I needed to become the Everlasting Immortal in their hearts. I needed to defeat that mastermind behind the scenes.
“I also wanted to condense the Everlasting Dao Fruit, but I couldn’t achieve that. I was unable to abandon my painful past. I couldn’t move on from the destruction of my tribe.”
At the mention of this, Hui Doudou grew emotional, making physical gestures for the first time. She spread her arms, as if declaring herself better than the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. “But so what? Even without condensing the Everlasting Dao Fruit, I am still you. I can still defeat the mastermind behind the scenes!”
“You are not me.” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy stared into Hui Doudou’s eyes, her own reflection mirrored in her pupils.
“As expected of the ‘Mistress’ Little He has been thinking about all this time—you said the same thing she did.” Hui Doudou’s lips curled into a mocking smile, though it was unclear whom she was mocking.
“Where is Little He?!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy abruptly seized Hui Doudou’s collar.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy sensed something off about Hui Doudou’s tone. It sounds as if she has just been in contact with Little He!
If she has seen Little He, then Little He is likely in grave danger!
Hui Doudou swatted away the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s hand. “Little He is doing well with me. Your concern is unnecessary!”
“Little He is with you?!” fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
“That’s right.”
“What have you done to her?!”
“I said, she is doing well with me. You are superfluous.”
Hui Doudou watched the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s anxious face with interest. I didn’t know it’s actually so amusing to see my other self flustered.
Suddenly, both women’s expressions changed. They looked up simultaneously, sensing an immortal-tier array gradually enveloping Demon City. Such an array could block external perception, isolating the city as a small world.
Hui Doudou’s expression shifted. She looked toward the direction of the eatery, her expression one of utter disbelief.
How could the Left Historian Immortal be here?
She had no time to spare for the Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s matters and hurried back to the eatery.
The Everlasting Immortal Fairy grabbed Lu Yang and chased after Hui Doudou. “Let’s go, too!”
