Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: From Existence to Nothingness, from Nothingness to Existence

The temple has always been frugal and doesn’t receive incense donations, so many of its buildings rely on grants for repairs.

To preserve the original appearance of the buildings, the restoration is very slow.

This pavilion has been around for a century and has always been fine until today, when it suddenly started shaking for some unknown reason.

Gong Chen sensed something was wrong and shouted to himself, "Danger! Run quickly!"

But he was still a step too slow.

He looked around instinctively protecting Little Moon by his side.

The two were instantly trapped underneath. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gong Chen felt as if pulled by a strong force; once he regained his senses, a sharp pain shot through his heart.

Next, a taste of blood surged up his throat.

He realized for some reason he had merged with himself in this space.

Looking down, he saw a slender piece of wood pierced into his heart.

The pain was excruciatingly intense, numbing him.

But the complex emotions intertwining within him made Gong Chen feel even worse.

Little Moon cried out, "Uncle!"

Gong Chen immediately swallowed his blood, soothing her, "It’s okay, help will come soon."

Little Moon stopped crying, turning to comfort Gong Chen instead, "Uncle, don’t be afraid."

Her comforting words only made Gong Chen’s indescribable pain even more pronounced.

He felt undeserving, guilty towards those who loved him dearly.

If he died, what if Lin Zhiyi and Xingxing didn’t want to see him again?

Little Moon held his blood-stained hand, her tiny, warm hand comforting.

"Uncle, Grandma says that talking when scared makes you less afraid. Let me tell you a secret."

"What is it?"

Gong Chen leaned against the pillar beside him, trying to appear calm.

At least until Little Moon was rescued, he had to stay with her.

Little Moon, lying beneath him, had only some scrapes but no serious injuries.

She murmured, "I dreamt about the pretty lady in your photo."

Gong Chen was startled, thinking it was just a child’s whimsical talk.

After all, in such an environment, even adults are prone to fantasies, let alone a child.

But not wanting to disappoint her, Gong Chen asked softly, "What did she say?"

Thinking about Xingxing, Gong Chen felt conflicted.

On one hand, there was the guilt of this lifetime; on the other, the joy of being with his daughter in another life.

Gong Chen knew both were him.

Little Moon carefully said, "Sister said she misses you."

Gong Chen’s heart instantly ached so much he couldn’t breathe.

He imagined Xingxing hating him, resenting him, even wishing he stayed away from her and Lin Zhiyi.

Yet he never expected Xingxing to miss him.

Considering this world had brought harm to her.

Gong Chen’s eyes turned red, his calm face wavering, a sob escaped his throat, tears flowed freely.

"Uncle, sister also asked if given another chance, would you still treat her and her mom this way?"

"No, no... cough, cough..."

Blood gushed from his mouth.

Startled, Little Moon cried out, "Uncle, what’s happening?"

Gong Chen stroked her cheek, "Xingxing, I... miss you too."

"Uncle, Uncle!"

Little Moon’s voice grew distant.

Noisy footsteps surrounded them, all coming to the rescue.

Gong Chen could rest assured now, his hand gradually slipping from Little Moon’s face.

It wasn’t until evening that the last pillar pressing down on them was removed.

Little Moon curled quietly by Gong Chen’s side.

While Gong Chen looked up at the sky, as if merely admiring the falling snowflakes.

But his body was already stained crimson with blood.

Seeing this, the abbot joined his hands in prayer.

"From existence to non-existence, from non-existence to existence."

Gong Chen genuinely felt the proximity of death, cold and painful.
