The Phoenix Reborn Book II

Chapter 167 Anomalies

The moment he said that, Wang Chengliu's form scattered like dust blown by the wind.

As it turned out, Wang Chengliu's figure was only part of the illusion of creation Lan’er.

“Lan’er!!! Lan’er!!”

That heartbreaking shout made everyone turn their heads, turning their eyes to the scene from the memories of the first life that continued to run.

Wang Chengliu's figure was kneeling on the ground. Inside his arms, Huang Meilan's figure had been drenched in blood with his eyes tightly shut.

Seeing this scene, Liang Fenghong was wide-eyed. ‘This scene!’ The man was sure, this was the scene that had happened in his dream some time ago.

The scene where she as Minister Jiang finds the dying Huang Meilan and ends up witnessing the murder committed by Wang Wuyu!

Witnessing the scene, Lan’er also said, “Having thousands of guards does not make the palace the safest place in the world. Instead, the palace became a place where death was a very natural thing to happen.”

Lan’er turned his head towards Huang Miaoling.

“You should have understood this the most.”

Huang Miaoling clenched his hands. He certainly understands what's going on.

Intentionally or not, want or not, someone who set foot in the palace would definitely be involved in the seizure of the throne!

“The fact that I was the adoptive daughter of the Huang Family back then could be likened to a double-edged sword.”

Lan’er stepped closer to the figure of Wang Chengliu in his first life crying over him, then looked at the figure of Huang Meilan who was lying lifeless.

“On the one hand, Wang Weixin couldn't easily touch me and annoy Wang Chengliu if she didn't want to provoke the Huang Family's anger.”

Lan’er tried to touch a blue cloth tucked between Huang Meilan's fingers, but his fingers instead penetrated the object.

“On the other hand, I became a threat to be removed for those who wanted the throne.”

Liang Fenghong gritted his teeth. “Therefore, not long after you came to the palace, someone immediately tried to get rid of you.”

Hearing Liang Fenghong's words, Lan’er gulped down his body and turned to look at the man while smiling faintly. “About like that.”

“About?” Huang Miaoling looked confused.

Huang Miaoling remembered Liang Fenghong's story of the dream he had a few days ago. Thus, he was convinced that the murder of Huang Meilan by Wang Wuyu occurred because the man did not want Wang Chengliu to be his rival for the throne.

Wait ... Something is wrong.

Since when did Wang Wuyu want to rule the kingdom by occupying the throne?

In the next instant, Huang Miaoling heard Lan’er's voice say, “For someone whose entire life has only been accompanied by injustice and torture, finding happiness equals a miracle.” The girl's look looked serious. “What do you think will happen if that happiness ends up being captured or destroyed by others?”

Without needing to think for long, Huang Miaoling replied, Revenge.”

Right after Huang Miaoling said that, Lan’er swung his hand again, changing the scene for the umpteenth time.

Wang Chengliu's figure ended up killing one by one the people who in his eyes wanted the throne the most. Wang Zhengyi, Li Hongxia, even Wang Xiangqi. All suspects were chosen based on Wang Wuyu's manipulation!

When Wang Chengliu nearly killed Wang Junsi, Jiang Feng who had just returned from taking care of the matters in the Wu Kingdom declared the truth.

“The person who killed Huang Meilan is Wang Wuyu!”

Hearing the statement, Lan’er frowned. “A stupid decision,” a comment.

“Tell Wang Chengliu like that ... what did I in my first life think?!” liang Fenghong exclaimed, annoyed at the development of the story itself.

The sound of a small laugh was heard, making Liang Fenghong stare at Lan’er.

“Do you think everyone is born great and perfect? Smart and also wise?” The girl then shook her head. “Only when a person has made many mistakes and learned from them can he become wiser.”

Lan’er looked at Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong.

“Kalian ... also so.”

Then, the girl stared at how in the scene of memories twisting before her eyes, Wang Wuyu's figure ended up ruling over Shi Kingdom and ended up wiping out the Huang Family.

Huang Miaoling ... also died because of it.

“If you manage to save Wu, then use your army to take down Wang Wuyu, but Huang Miaoling is dead.”

Lan’er looked at Liang Fenghong. “Not only did you fail to fulfill my request to protect Wang Chengliu back then, you also failed to get a happy ending with Huang Miaoling.”

Liang Fenghong's forehead wrinkled. “So, that's the reason ... you repeat life?”

Lan’er nodded his head.

“Only when you and Huang Miaoling end up together can I leave this world and continue my journey,” explained Lan’er.

Then, the girl smiled bitterly.

“Unfortunately, one big mistake I made in the first life ended up creating an anomaly in the second life.”

Huang Miaoling frowned his brows. “Error ... what?”

Lan’er lowered her head as the second life scene began.

“The smoldering revenge of the first life .. allowed Wang Chengliu to have a memory from that time.”

A/N: As promised, author addin explanation:

Lan'er is the creator of Phoenix Reborn. Due to the tragic ending of each of his characters, he was hit with a punishment of having to give a happy ending to the main cast. In Phoenix Reborn, the main characters are Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong. However, even if it was his main task, Lan'er remembered that there was one more character that made Lan'er feel guilty most, namely Wang Chengliu.

Think about what Wang Chengliu's life story is like?

1. Born as a tool for revenge of his mother.

2. The person he thought was his real father\, turned out to be absolutely not his father.

3. Before even knowing Wang Chengliu was not his son\, Wang Weixin viciously sent the young Wang Chengliu to the battlefield in the hope that he would die there.

4. Don't forget that everyone chided Wang Chengliu from childhood as a child he never wanted.

However, saving Wang Chengliu ended up making Lan'er and the man involve each other's feelings. Before the incident saved Wang Chengliu, Lan'er had actually prepared everything necessary to ensure Huang Miaoling and Liang Fenghong had a happy ending. Overconfident and blinded by Wang Chengliu's guilt, Lan'er ended up spending four years with the man and even accepted his proposal. In fact, he should be aware that falling in love with his own man-made figure is forbidden and against the line of fate. As a result, on the wedding night, fate began the separation of Lan'er and Wang Chengliu by making Chenxiao find Chengliu.

Lan'er had realized that Chenxiao and Chengliu's meeting was a force of fate, so Lan'er was willing to part with Chengliu. However, seeing the man crying, Lan'er's heart did not have the heart and he went to the palace with the thought of 'nothing gw to the palace, anyway I will remind Chengliu not to fight for the throne'. At this moment, Lan'er was off guard, he forgot about Wang Wuyu's extraordinarily cunning character. His death was instead used as a tool to manipulate Wang Chengliu's every move.

In essence, in his first life, Lan'er was slapped with the fact that he did not fully understand the characters he created himself.
