The Last Paragon in the Apocalypse

Chapter 931: Who is Yuying

Who is Yuying?

Being asked this question, Klaus smiled, casting his mind back to when he first met the nine-tailed fox demon beauty.

Back then, Fruity had just lost his home, half of his Uncles, and found himself in the Tormented World with nothing but the determination to rise above all and get his revenge.

And to do that, he had to first traverse the harsh and tormenting depths of the Tormented World. He had to first visit Illusion Mountain to claim something left by his past self.

Of course, it sounded so simple, but he had to go through the Calamity Valley, where he had no idea how much he would have to sacrifice and what dangers awaited him.

But that answer came faster than he had hoped.

His first obstacle was to cross the Single Horn Flame Lions’ territory by making no sound and continuing his journey in the simplest way.

However, that wasn’t what happened.

Instead of having the means to sneak through his first obstacle, he was faced with danger on all sides. The hellhounds took over the region, and he couldn’t get through—not if he wanted to die in his first solo major battle.

So he had to retreat and take a much longer path since, aside from moving through the territory now occupied by the hellhounds, the other shortest path was also occupied by the Medusa snake, one that could freeze him with just its gaze.

Fruity was in a bind back then, and after a few internal struggles, he chose to take the longer path. That was when he met her—beautiful like jade—waiting for him to come, for she had already seen her master coming and had prepared for it.

Before everything went to hell, losing half his uncles, Fruity had been jealous of his peers who received all the lavish life any kid would have wanted. He wanted that, but his uncles and their deep attachment to reality chose to live simply.

I mean, who could blame them? They were monks, after all, so lavish living was out of their books.

However, when he met Yuying, that treatment was what greeted him. He was showered with all the best kinds of techniques, resources, and attention.

Even without asking, it was provided, and the one behind all this was Yuying.

Thanks to her, he had started living again, not only hellbent on revenge but actually living. She made him happy and safe, and after a few years together, she showed him what it feels like to be with a woman.

Fruity was happy, and for thousands of years, she stayed with him, helping him all the way to the day she merged back with the Paragon stars to await the next life his master will live.

“Yuying is one of the most important people in my life,” Klaus smiled. “She is the one who truly understands me. She knew when I was happy, sad, or angry. She can tell when I need something and when I just want to smack some people silly.”

Klaus cast his mind back to the fox beauty who sometimes acted like his mother whenever he planned to laze around and do nothing. She would pull on his ear to get him moving, and he would always listen to her.

“Had it not been for her, perhaps I wouldn’t be here today.”

The karma involved was huge, but Klaus didn’t care. For now, he was happy talking about Yuying, for in this very moment, he only wanted to talk about her.

The ladies could see the smile on his face, and for that, they could only wonder who this Yuying was and why she could make Klaus look happy and almost human.

They weren’t jealous.

Instead, they wanted to know more about Yuying and, if possible, learn from her—if that meant they could have the same effect on Klaus.

However, while everyone was thinking of learning about Yuying on how to please their man, Lucy, the brainiac in the group, was having a different thought.

‘She was the one who managed to bring his anger down, not us or himself. But if she isn’t here and managed to do that, then she must have paid a huge price.’

With this thought registered in her mind, Lucy was finally able to see past the happiness in Klaus’s eyes. She saw the sadness that lay beneath, and that broke her heart.

‘She must have paid a huge price for that.’ Without even knowing it, a tear fell from Lucy’s eyes. She didn’t know why, but deep within her, she felt a connection to this Yuying in ways she couldn’t describe.

That alone made her understand the stakes of what she didn’t know but was sure had happened to her.

Klaus looked at her and smiled, “She is on her way here as we speak. I am sure you all will love her when you meet her.”

The ladies nodded. Every last one of them, regardless of their relationship with Klaus, wanted to meet this mysterious Yuying—the one who knew Klaus’s true heart.

Klaus used the harem connection to speak to Lucy, relaying Yuying’s words to her.

‘Stop crying, Lucy,’ she said. ‘Yuying said to say hi to you and Anna, that she will see you soon.’

Lucy covered her face as more tears fell from her eyes.

The confirmation she needed was just provided, and that alone spoke volumes. She, in a way, in fact, had a connection to this Yuying, and that alone showed how much they were connected.

‘What were we in our past lives?’ Lucy asked, and Klaus smiled.

‘Sworn sisters. You and Anna became sisters back when we were on the run from our enemies. She was like a big sister to you.

She cared a lot for you and Anna, making sure you never lacked, and when it came to it, she always made you come close to making me pass out from our night sessions.”

Though Lucy was emotional, she couldn’t help but blush when she heard Klaus’s last sentence. Klaus just kept smiling as he added a few words…

‘She is alive, Lucy. Yuying is alive, and when she gets here, I will make sure she keeps living for years to come, so don’t cry. Your sister is on her way.’

His words calmed her down.

However, Klaus knew it was going to take some time for her to come to terms with what she had just heard. In a way, talking about her past was a trigger none of them saw coming, and the implications would soon start revealing themselves.

Questions after questions were asked about Yuying, and Klaus did his best to answer them, neither saying too much that would bring calamity nor saying too little that would be insufficient to answer their questions.

In the end, Klaus had to compromise and made them ask their questions when they had their alone time.

After the ice cream, they bought flowers and went to pay their respects to Asha’s parents before heading back to the Arcadia Family.

During dinner, Klaus made his main reasons for coming on the vacation known, and the response was as expected. His in-laws accepted his blood.

Later, Lulu and Nari came to spend the night with him. But who would have expected that after the night of passion, something else would loom over Klaus—something he had been subconsciously holding back…
