Twenty-three years later, everything came back again.

  Endless darkness.

  "Is this death?" Chu Yun's thoughts were scattered and he felt himself drifting in darkness.

  In the darkness, there is no direction, no light, he wanders like a lonely soul in the wilderness.

  But gradually he felt something strange: "Why can I still feel my body? Haven't I died?"

  He tried to open his eyes.

  Wow.

  A burst of light, a simple bedroom comes into view.

  A familiar feeling quickly spread through his mind.

  "Isn't this my childhood bedroom? What a dream! Why does everything seem so real?"

  Chu Yun sat up from the bed, touched the bedside, and then touched her own body, with a mind full of shock and uncertainty.

  He got up cautiously and paced back and forth in the narrow room.

  "Something's not right! My leg!" He suddenly widened his eyes, staring blankly at his left leg. The incomplete memory of the prosthetic left calf was intact and healthy.

  What's going on?

  "Have I borrowed a corpse to return to life?!" He shuddered in his heart, and suddenly glanced at a mirror hanging on the wall.

  He hesitated, with anticipation, slowly walking towards the mirror. His emotions were mixed with a sense of fear and uncertainty about the unknown. Very complex.

  In the mirror is a familiar face.

  Too familiar!

  This is exactly what I was like when I was young!

  Chu Yun felt extremely shocked, what on earth was going on? Had she fallen into an illusion?

  He was clearly a sickly body, lying under the tree, on the verge of death. But when he opened his eyes, he found himself transported from the Star Ocean Dragon Palace to his childhood bedroom.

  This is really unbelievable.

  "If this is an illusion, then so be it." Chu Yun smiled self-mockingly and opened the door, striding out.

  When he was young, he was adopted by Shu Tianhao, the master of Shujia Island. He lived in Shujia City.

  At this moment, the door was opened and the morning sunlight poured into the courtyard, where flowers and grass were planted on both sides. In the distance, maidservants occasionally came and went in the corridor.

  "This illusion is actually so real." Chu Yun stretched and took a deep breath of the fresh air, unable to help but exclaim in admiration.

  "Chu Yun, you have a big nerve. Why didn't you come to my room early this morning to pay your respects on time?" Along with the sharp and piercing female voice, a lady walked over.

  She was dressed in magnificent attire, with a white and pink complexion, trying her best to conceal the traces of time on her face, but not very successfully. Her sharp chin was slightly raised at this moment, revealing her proud personality.

  Chu Yun stared blankly as she walked over, thinking: This illusion is a bit too realistic.

  "How dare you!" The lady's eyebrows furrowed, feeling that Chu Yun's gaze was a great affront to herself. Her face immediately turned cold and she shouted in a shrill voice.

  "Chu Yun, you're getting more and more unreasonable. You didn't even greet me properly, that's not all. When you saw the mistress, you didn't even kneel down to ask after my well-being?" She looked down on Chu Yun with a condescending gaze, her eyes filled with resentment and disdain.

  "Mrs. Shu..." Chu Yun's tone was cold and calm, but this scene stirred up some deep emotions within him.

  The person in front of her was actually the wife of Chu Yun's adoptive father, originally surnamed Ning and named Qi Xiang. After marrying Shu Tianhao, she followed her husband's surname.

  She gave birth to two sons and has always been extremely harsh on Chu Yun. Slightly dissatisfied, she would often scold and reprimand him. She had always wanted to drive Chu Yun out of the Shu family city, but was restrained by Shu Tianhao and couldn't act rashly.

  Today, Chu Yun didn't greet her on time. She seized this opportunity and prepared to "educate" this adopted son thoroughly.

  But who would have known that when I arrived at Chu Yun's place, the usually timid and reserved Chu Yun seemed to have transformed into a completely different person. Even her gaze towards me was filled with shock, scrutiny, and hatred.

  A loud crash.

  The anger in his heart surged up.

  What kind of eyes are these? This little wild species, this little rabbit, actually dares to look at me with such eyes?!

  Mrs. Shu felt her dignity had been seriously offended and she was determined to seize this handle on Chu Yun and continue to pursue the matter.

  The result was that Chu Yun suddenly sneered and said, "Madam Shu, you can shut up now. You're just trying to make trouble out of this and drive me out of the Shu family castle, aren't you? You've been making things difficult for me everywhere, aren't you afraid that Master will favor me and I'll take away the inheritance rights of Shu Island?"

  "You, you..." Madame Shu was suddenly shocked and changed color, unable to help but take a step back, her finger pointing at Chu Yun, trembling slightly. Apparently, she was startled by Chu Yun's words.

  She just wanted to use this excuse to give Chu Yun a good scolding, in order to establish her own unchallengeable authority in his heart.

  But unexpectedly, Chu Yun suddenly spoke astonishing words. One sentence revealed the sinister plot in her heart.

  Not bad, in her view, the foundation of Shu Island should be her two sons, Shu Da and Shu Er. However, Shu Tianhao was very fond of his adopted son, Chu Yun, treating him like a biological son. He even publicly stated that the future heir of Shu Island would be chosen from among these three people.

  Why should the things in my family be inherited by a bastard?!

  Mrs. Shu did not want to see such a thing happen. But her two sons were exceptionally spoiled. Chu Yun was clever and sensible since childhood, while the other two were quite the opposite. Comparing them, it's clear who is superior and who is inferior.

  Chu Yun continued to sneer coldly: "I ask myself, I've always been respectful to you, but as soon as there's a small mistake, you seize on it and exaggerate. Today, just because I was late with my evening greetings, you rushed over in such haste to give me a hard time. Hmph! If I had another chance, I would thoroughly defeat those two good sons of yours. Let you watch with your own eyes as I properly inherit the foundation of the Shu family island. At that time, even Father will be proud of me! As for you...”

  Mrs. Shu took a step back involuntarily, intimidated by Chu Yunshan's cold aura.

  Chu Yun's outburst gave her a shock that was too great. She had originally thought Chu Yun was muddle-headed and ignorant, like a little white rabbit, easy to bully.

  But today, Little White Rabbit was under her eyelids, transformed into a young tiger. Although not yet fully grown, its fangs already showed a hint of sharpness! A compelling aura was brewing!

  "Fine, fine. You actually dared to defy your elders in public! You unfilial son, disobedient son!" Madam Shu was furious.

  "Shut up! I only acknowledge my foster father, when did I ever acknowledge you as my foster mother? Earlier, I asked for your well-being, but it was just to save face in front of my foster father. How have you treated me usually? Who in the entire Shu family doesn't know in their hearts? You've tried to drive me away multiple times, are you worthy of being my elder?"

  It's really pitiful, at first I didn't think that I would seize the foundation of the Shu family island.

  However, in a previous life, his adoptive father unexpectedly encountered pirate attacks and passed on the inheritance of Shu Island to him before dying. After he took over, considering that she was the widow of his adoptive father, he let go of past grievances and treated Madame Shu and Shu Da and Shu Er very well.

  However, it was none other than Mrs. Shu in front of her, combining the power of her natal family, responding internally and externally, forcing herself to be driven out!

  Fine, since you want to force me out, I'll just refuse to leave. You treat me like this, do you expect me to repay kindness with resentment?

  You have never been kind to me, must I still consider our emotional ties?

  "You ungrateful wolf cub, you have the heart of a wild wolf! A wild wolf's heart!" Mrs. Shu shrieked in a shrill voice, her face twisted with rage, so angry that she was jumping up and down. "Get out, get out! Someone, come quickly and throw this little beast out of my house!"

  The people around him all showed hesitation and stood in place, indecisive.

  One is the lord's favored adopted son, the other is the lord's wife...

  "I don't need you to drive me away, I'll leave on my own. But sooner or later, I will return here with my head held high." Chu Yun felt a great sense of relief in her heart, and suddenly thought that this illusion was quite good, really very good.

  Many things that have never been said can be said. Many things that have never been done can be done.

  Even if it's an illusion, what of it?

  His life was but thirty years, like a fleeting dream. Was it not just a dream?

  No longer paying attention to Madame Shu's ashen face and trembling body, Chu Yun strode forward with large steps, walking away from the mansion on her own accord.

  "What did Young Master Chuyun say to make Madame Shu look so displeased?"

  "Mrs. Shu took advantage of the island owner's outing and drove away Chu Yun's young master again, how vicious!"

  "How strange! Young Master Chuyun seems different today, he exploded and made Madame Shu so flustered, it's really satisfying to watch!"

  The servants were all discussing it. Madame Shi was very narrow-minded, and seeing her embarrassed, the servants all looked delighted.

  In her previous life, she was often forced by Lady Shu to leave the City Lord's Manor, but it wasn't just once or twice. However, each time, not long after, she would be brought back by her adoptive father, Shu Tianhao.

  I got used to it, but Mrs. Shu was tireless in her pursuit of fault-finding. Only Chuyun could truly empathize with the bitterness and embarrassment that came with it.

  Walking in the bustling Shu Family City, Chu Yun's heart also calmed down, with a mood of revisiting old places, she wandered aimlessly in Shu Family City.

  But gradually, the ease on his face slowly disappeared, replaced by solemnity and astonishment!

  He found himself not only feeling emotions like joy and anger, but also sensations of hunger! When his fist hit the city wall, he felt pain.

  Moreover, he is calm and collected in his thoughts, completely unlike being bewildered by the illusion. Interacting with each person in the city also yields different reactions.

  A bold conjecture involuntarily floated into his mind.

  Could it be that I really reincarnated?

  Be bold in hypothesis, cautious in proof. Chu Yun has his own way of doing things.

  "Generally speaking, this type of illusion is extracted from a person's memories and created. In Shu Family City, there are naturally places I haven't been to..."

  A moment later, a young man appeared in Shu's city, standing still and looking stunned.

  Suddenly, he waved his arms and cheered loudly, shouting at the top of his voice, overjoyed to tears!

  "Heavens have eyes, I've really been reborn! Twenty-three years ago, everything is starting all over again. Calm down, calm down, according to memory, next should be the coming-of-age ceremony. At the coming-of-age ceremony, one has to choose a demon beast egg, and among them will be that demon beast egg. This is the turning point of my life! I must grasp it tightly!"
