Death… And Me

Chapter 1747 Luanʼs Outcome

Roan could tell what Romana, or Luina, was thinking. ”Weʼre not blood-related. I took him as a disciple when he was a kid, and he decided to call me father since then. I donʼt really care about what others call me, so Iʼve never paid attention to it.”

Luan agreed with Roan, saying, ”Indeed. Still, for me, Father is Father. That will never change.”

Ramona finally sighed in relief. ”I see... then it means Roan is still alone, right?”

Rean patted Ramonaʼs shoulder in response, telling her, ”Nope, Calinaʼs efforts were compensated in the end. They even had sex already. With that being said, it might not look like it, but Roan also reciprocates that love back. Sorry about that.”

Ramona immediately looked at Roan, expecting Roan to deny Reanʼs bullshit as always. However, Roan just kept his eyes closed as he wondered where Calina would be at the moment. ”Does that mean I was too late?”

”Late for what?” Roan asked, confused.

Rean and even Luan looked at Roan. It was so obvious, but Roan couldnʼt see it at all.

However, that didnʼt mean Ramona had already given up. ”H-Hmph! The other girl is nowhere to be found. That means I still have a chance. Who knows, she might even be dead already. I will definitely put my all into this chance.”

Rean thought it would be fun to watch, so he agreed with her. ”Sure! Thatʼs the spirit! Go after him!”

Luan couldnʼt help but ask in response, ”Uncle Rean, is that really okay?”

As for Roan, he was as puzzled as ever. ”I donʼt care what youʼre talking about. Can we go back to the main topic?” It was then that he remembered something. ”Right! How should we call you now? Ramona or Luina? Do your parents even know that youʼre a reincarnation?”

Seeing the clueless Roan only gave Romana even more determination, though. ”You can call me Luina. Itʼs not a secret to anyone back in the Jamai Sect that Iʼm a reincarnation. In fact, Jamai Sect has a few people similar to me, so no one was surprised either. From the looks of it, very high-level beings who reach the end of their lifespan can brand their souls before passing away. Once theyʼre reborn, that brand will activate as long as they reach the Nascent Soul Realm. It might be something very rare here, but itʼs not so rare in the center of the Realm of Gods.”

Roan nodded in response. ”Then, Luina, it is. Iʼm already used to that anyway, so it makes things simple.”

After that, Roan looked at Luan. ”Luan, Luina here is a reincarnation of a girl from the time Rean and I lived in the Mortal Realm. Her name is Luina, and sheʼs now part of the Jamai Sect. She just so happens to be part of the Sacred Eye race as well.”

Luan nodded, already expecting it. For some reason, he felt close to her. ”So thatʼs how it is. No wonder I feel this weird when I look at her. Then again, it seems like her age after reincarnating is lower than mine, no?”

Roan nodded, replying, ”She is. In fact, even if you add up Luinaʼs age from before her death with her current age, she isnʼt that much older than you. Probably 10 or so years above you.” After so long, Luan had already reached his mid-twenties. It wasnʼt wrong to say his age was not that much younger than Luinaʼs if they counted how long theyʼd lived.

”Hey!” Luina immediately stopped the two. ”Stop summing up my previous life and actual age. Iʼm now a beautiful 16-year-old girl. Thatʼs all you need to know. Understood?”

Luan and Roan didnʼt really mind that. ”Okay.”

Roan and Luan then explained the situation of their first encounter.

With that, Luina finally went back to the main topic. ”Still, to think there was a Sacred Eye race member in the middle of nowhere. I canʼt wrap my head around how someone like you ended up in a continent like Treavin. From what Roan said, your father suddenly disappeared after heading out to earn some money, right?”

Luan nodded in response. ”Everyone there who still had parents caring for them was doing the same thing. They had to go out and fight for their living. Dying was a very common thing. Since my father disappeared, I can only guess that he died somewhere in the desert.”

”Say, was your father also like you?” Luina asked. ”I mean, did he have the ability to see Elements and Divine Energy?”

”Yes,” Luan confirmed. ”It was him who helped me control the power in my eyes so that I could focus on one each time. Otherwise, it would be very hard to walk around when all you can see is Divine Energy and Elements.”

”As I thought...” Luina narrowed her eyes before telling him, ”Luan, I refuse to believe your real father is dead. There has to be some reason for him to appear in the Treavin Continent and leave you behind. Well, it might not have been him, but his parents or even his grandparents. In any case, they were all Sacred Eye race members for sure. You should have noticed it yourself, how good you are at cultivating since you can see Divine Energy and Elements.”

Luan couldnʼt help but ask in response, ”Are you saying that there might be some deeper story behind my upcoming?”

Luina shrugged her shoulders, telling him, ”Who knows? I donʼt know many Sacred Eye race members to start with. Itʼs not like only my Jamai Sect has them. However, each of these members is highly regarded in any power theyʼre a part of. You can see that by how I was selected as one of the hundred participants of the Free Continent competition even though Iʼm still in the Initial Stage of the Space Bending Realm. After all, you use anyone at the Peak Stage as well. My mother has a very high say in the Jamai Sect as well.”

”I see...” Luan was surprised to hear that.
