159 Three Thousand Years and One Day (3)

“It’s just like how you had lived for three thousand years before you could appreciate how beautiful your hometown was. If I had only lived for a single day, I’m afraid I would not have been able to experience everything in my life that made me happy!”

Dr. Sun laughed bitterly and shook his head. He said faintly, “Three thousand years ago, I had the same thought. Why did the fire mayflies only live for a day? Could they have lived longer if they didn’t consume the miasma?”

The evening sun pa.s.sed through the thick miasma and shone on Dr. Sun’s body. However, his body became colder and colder, as if he could not feel the warmth of the sun at all. Hair had grown all over his arms as they turned into two slender insect legs. Two huge translucent wings slowly spread out behind him.

His turbid eyes seemed to have become more yellow, and crystal antennae grew on his forehead.

Jiang Ming looked at Dr. Sun, who was slowly revealing his original form. He looked like a large mutant fire mayfly.

However, his legs and wings were not bright red like the fire mayflies that he had seen outside the valley. Instead, they were an ugly pale white. They were no different from the newly born fire mayflies at the bottom of the valley.

Dr. Sun lowered his head and looked at his legs in disappointment. “It turns out that you really can live longer if you don’t eat miasma. For example, you can live for three thousand years!”

Jiang Ming looked at Dr. Sun in a daze. His ridiculous guess from back then was actually true.

Dr. Sun’s face was getting paler and paler, and his fat body was getting thinner and thinner. Under his clothes, his furry limbs could vaguely be seen. “However, I will never be able to understand what it feels like to fly with a pair of fiery red wings. What’s more meaningful? Three thousand years of life, or a single day?”

Fine hair had already grown out of his face, and his eyes were gradually losing their liveliness and becoming dull.

He looked at Jiang Ming strangely, as if he had seen him for the first time. He began to mumble unconsciously, “Who are you? My name is Man Tianyun. The moment I was born, I saw a sky full of clouds.”

It was the first time Jiang Ming heard Dr. Sun’s real name. However, the dying Dr. Sun seemed to not recognize him anymore. His whole body was gradually turning into a large fire mayfly.

The three-thousand-year-old demon had returned to its original form. It flapped its ugly wings and flew toward the miasma in the sky with the young fire mayflies. Its body became smaller and smaller until Jiang Ming could no longer tell which fire mayfly was Dr. Sun.

The sky was getting dark, and the fire mayflies fell down one by one.

Jiang Ming knew that among them was one named Man Tianyun, who had lived for three thousand years.

“Three thousand years is still meaningful,” Jiang Ming said softly. “At the very least, you’ve many different things. And in the end, you got to choose your own fate.”

Jiang Ming looked up.

“Who knows? Maybe a single day is all they need. After all, I’m not a fire mayfly. How can I judge whether their lives are worthwhile? What I can do is take control of my own life. Even if I can live forever, every day has to be meaningful! Otherwise, what’s the point of being alive?”
