Reborn As Lucky Star

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: The Fate Is Not Yet Over

Yue Xiaofang stared blankly into the air.

At dusk, the remnants of the setting sun spilled onto the ground, a translucent shadow floating in midair.

“Treasure, my treasure!”

Although Yue Xiaofang should have felt frightened, the throbbing connection of blood made her eyes brim with tears.

She actually knew clearly that the shadow before her was her child who had passed away prematurely.

“Mom, don’t cry.”

...

The shadow moved closer, seemingly trying to wipe Yue Xiaofang’s cheeks with its tiny palms.

But it couldn’t touch Yue Xiaofang’s face at all and passed right through.

Yue Xiaofang hurriedly wiped her tears away, feeling lively for the first time in many days.

“Won’t cry, Mom won’t cry, my treasure is so good.”

“Mom regrets, it’s Mom’s fault for not protecting you, allowing those beasts to harm you.”

Yue Xiaofang looked up, trying hard not to let tears fall, staring unwaveringly ahead.

“Not at all, Mom is good, I knew it when I was in your belly, you liked me so much, always told me stories, and even stroked me through your belly.”

“Don’t be sad, otherwise I will be sad with you, Mom.”

The child’s voice was very tender, yet it struck Yue Xiaofang’s heart one word at a time.

Yue Qingqing explained, “She couldn’t leave peacefully because she was worried about you. If this continues for two more days, her soul will completely dissipate, unable to reincarnate.”

Yue Xiaofang was suddenly alarmed, “No, that cannot happen.”

She had already harmed her child, how could she continue to burden her.

“Treasure, Mom isn’t sad anymore, you should go and reincarnate quickly, don’t stay with me, Mom will take good care of herself.”

The shadow obediently moved closer, pressing against Yue Xiaofang’s chest.

Though she felt nothing, Yue Xiaofang still extended her arms in an embracing gesture.

“Mom, I really like you so much, if there is a next life, I still want to be your treasure.”

Yue Xiaofang bit her lower lip hard, a crimson drop of blood emerging.

“Alright, then let’s make a promise, you go and reincarnate, and in the next life continue to be Mom’s darling.”

The shadow lifted its head, paused, “But I am very worried about you.”

“Mom will be strong, she definitely will be.”

Yue Xiaofang leaned down, almost reverently kissed the shadow’s shoulder.

The blood from her lips rolled down, passing through the insubstantial shadow.

“Mom must keep her word, she cannot lie.”

The shadow gradually disappeared into the air, never to be seen again.

Yue Qingqing stepped forward and gently patted the back of Yue Xiaofang’s hand.

Yue Xiaofang collapsed at the sound.

The next morning, Yue Xiaofang woke up to find herself lying in bed.

Lin Chunju sat by the bed, apparently wiping her tears with the back of her hand, but hurriedly dried her cheeks and smiled upon seeing her awake.

“Xiaofang, you’re awake? Are you hungry?”

Although she didn’t expect an answer, Yue Xiaofang sat up from the bed and looked at her own hands.

After moments, she touched her lips.

Due to not eating or drinking properly these days, her lips were dry and rough, but clearly, there were no wounds on them.

It must have been a dream then, how silly, even Qingqing appeared in the dream.

Seeing her daughter like this, Lin Chunju’s grief welled up suddenly, and she gently hugged her daughter’s shoulders.

“Xiaofang, don’t be sad anymore, the child would hurt too, knowing you are like this.”

It sounded like thunder exploding by Yue Xiaofang’s ear, and she nodded immediately.

“What Mom said is true, I… I’m not sad anymore.”

Even if it was only a dream, Yue Xiaofang worried that her weakness might worry her treasure, turning her into a lingering ghost, unable to reincarnate.

“I’m hungry, I want to eat!”

Lin Chunju was overjoyed, “Great, what do you want to eat, I’ll make it for you right now!”

“I want to eat Mom’s fried pancake, put more tenderloin in it.” Yue Xiaofang tried to make her voice sound more cheerful.

“Alright, I’ll have your brother go buy the meat right now.”

Yue Qingqing, who had been sitting quietly in the outer courtyard, looked towards the house unnoticeably and then gazed up at the sky.

From today onwards, Yue Xiaofang should be able to become stronger.

As for that child, actually, her bond with Yue Xiaofang was not yet finished, if there is a chance in the future…
