《Myth Beyond Heaven 》Chapter 84: Delusion
Advertisement
"Ugh…" Feng Yu groaned in pain as her eyes snapped open, waking up from the nightmare. The painful memory she'd experienced haunted her every time she closed her eyes, and she had no way to get rid of it.
Feng Yu stared at familiar yet unfamiliar ceilings for a while before she slowly changed her posture into sitting with her head leaning on the headboard. "How long do I have to go through this before I can forget it?" She muttered to herself.
A while later, Feng Yu felt uncomfortable as her entire body was drenched in sweat. The moment she lifted the quilt up, preparing to get out of the bed, she caught a glimpse of a letter beside her pillow.
"A letter?" Feng Yu picked the letter up, looking at it with confusion, and decided to open it.
"To Miss Feng. If you're reading this letter, it means I have already left. The reason behind my sudden departure is related to your father and brother. As for what exactly it is, I think a smart woman like you will learn about it soon by yourself."
Feng Yu's brows immediately creased together upon reading this. Without a doubt, the person who wrote this letter was Yun Lintian, but she didn't understand the meaning behind his words… My father and brother? What's going on? She thought and continued to read.
"Have you noticed something is not right with your father? Don't you think he didn't seem to be happy with your return? After knowing you've suffered for all this time, he didn't seem to get anxious or angry? In my opinion, he should have a better reaction to this situation as a father. Unless he didn't really love you. Not to mention the way your father treated me is not what people did with their benefactor."

Feng Yu frowned deeply and recalled the moment Feng Qi knew about her return. He was indeed didn't get angry or showing relief. It was as though he didn't care about her at all.
At that time, Feng Yu thought her father was disgusted with her after knowing what she had gone through, but it didn't seem to be the case when she thought about it again.
"I know. I have no proof of everything I said above, but I always believed in my intuition. If I guessed correctly, there is something going on with your father. Remember, you've said before? You went out a month ago, and the situation within the Green Leaf Town is not good at that time. But now, it's entirely different from what you said."
"Writing this letter is considered taking a risk to me because I don't know if you're in cahoots with your father from the beginning, but I decided to do so because I trusted my own judgment that you're a good woman. Anyway, if you've turned out to be a person as I thought, please leave this place as soon as possible. The world is vast. There are many things for you to discover. Good luck. — Ye Xiu."
Feng Yu slowly put the letter down on her lap and contemplated over the matters. Although Yun Lintian's baseless guess was unreliable, her intuition had also told her the same when she thought of this.
Boom!
All of a sudden, a loud explosion occurred in Yun Lintian's courtyard direction, causing Feng Yu to jolt awake from her contemplation.
"What's going on?" She uttered in confusion and rushed out of her courtyard.
When Feng Yu was about to arrive at Yun Lintian's courtyard, she saw her father stood before the debris, looking at the courtyard's remains with a frown. For some reason, Feng Yu subconsciously hid behind the wall, observing Feng Qi silently.

Feng Qi was occupied by anxiousness within his heart and failed to notice Feng Yu's presence as he rushed into Feng Yi's courtyard.
Feng Yu followed him in the distance and later heard Feng Qi's angry roar, causing her to step back involuntarily.
"Hurry up! Activate the formation!" Feng Qi roared.
"Yes, Master!" The guards quickly replied and went to the formation's eyes. Although they didn't know much about the formation, opening it according to the instruction was not a problem.
Hong!
A moment later, the Feng manor was entirely covered with a red translucent barrier, making the nearby neighbors look at it in shock.
"Go find that bastard! He killed my son!" Feng Qi shouted angrily at the guards.
The guards didn't dare to delay further and spread throughout the entire manor hastily.
Did Young Master Ye kill Feng Yi? Feng Yu's heart was in turmoil. She didn't understand why did Yun Lintian kill her younger brother.
She calmed herself down, and a plan formed in her mind as she approached Feng Qi.
"Father, what happened?" Feng Yu asked worriedly.
Snap!
As Feng Yu's words fell, Feng Qi immediately slapped her face fiercely and cursed, "It's because of you, bitch! If you didn't come back, Yi'er wouldn't have to die!"
Feng Yu was stunned as she fell to the ground. She touched her cheek and looked at her father with an unbelievable expression. Everything happened too fast. It completely caught her off-guard.
Before Feng Yu could say anything, Feng Qi kicked on her chest, sending her flying away like a broken kite before she landed on the ground several meters away.
"You deserved to die!" Feng Qi roared and chased after Feng Yu.
Lying on the ground, Feng Yu coughed up blood, clutching her chest in pain. When she saw Feng Qi rushed at her with murderous intent, she realized everything Yun Lintian had said was true — Feng Qi didn't care about her at all from the beginning!
"Fa… ther…" Feng Yu struggled to stand up, but she was too weak. Despair crept into her heart. A bunch of memories of when she endured the torture back in the bandit camp resurfaced in her mind. In order to see her parents again, she even allowed herself to be humiliated by the bandits. But now… everything she wished for turned out to be fake... Familial love? It was nothing but a mere delusion of her own.

Heroes have arrived in Cairn village, one of which is Aiden; a 20-year-old-runaway who's just excited to play a super awesome VRMMORPG and maybe rekindle the eternal war without thinking... I added the tramtising tag since the whole demon lord thing isn't entirely moral and I guess that's what that tag means, better safe than sorry I guess. This is a rewrite and I still do small edits on earlier chapters for grammar and style every now and then so let me know any critiques you have or even if you just think something is stupid. The whole point of writing this is so I can improve while (hopefully) entertaining some people. My update schedule can be erratic but I will finish this eventually. Eventually being in a few years... I decided to take a break from this while I finish a separate project sorry about that. There are also puppy pictures...you have been warned.
