Chapter 513: His Wife’s Identity
Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant
Jing Qiu’s heart stilled as she looked at the black-clothed youth next to her. This was a secret she had been always hiding, unwilling to discuss it because of all the misgivings she had on the subject. However, this time she was forced to make a move, and even though she had been prudent enough to hide her aura and transform her body, she was still recognized. Jing Qiu had been prepared for this to happen. Xue Ying was, after all, her husband, and while an outsider might not have been able to tell, it was much more likely that her partner would be able to discern the truth.
“Indeed.” Jing Qiu softly nodded, unable to hide her anxiety.
She was afraid. She simply valued her husband so much, so she was afraid and concerned about the outcome of this discussion.
“You’re a reincarnated lifeform?” Xue Ying asked.
“Yes.” Jing Qiu sucked in a breath of air, and, staring straight at her husband, she asked, “Are you going to avoid me now?”
However, not daring to even wait for Xue Ying to reply, Jing Qiu continued talking out of nervousness, “It was only after I became a Deity that I finally awakened the memories of my previous life. I was once known as the Mysterious Star Sword Lady, Monarch Mo Xue’s daughter. It was for this reason that I was able to discern that Seventh Mei Yu was a woman from a single glance as soon as we first met her. She is, after all, my younger sister.
“Furthermore, my father, Monarch Mo Xue, took it upon himself to impart you with some pointers, something he would not do even for his inner disciple. He had done so precisely because he knew that you were his son-in-law.” Having finished speaking, Jing Qiu cautiously looked over at Xue Ying’s expression.
“The two of you had already recognized each other all the way back then?” Xue Ying asked.
“We recognized each other, but kept it secret. Nobody other than father is aware of this,” Jing Qiu said.
Xue Ying was bewildered.
No wonder.
It was no wonder that he found the situation back then strange. He might have shown a dazzling display during the Myriad Flower Feast selections, but it was still strange that Monarch Mo Xue, an expert truly equal to powerful existences, had instructed him for two straight days. And for him to give out advice orally, even demonstrating his points from time to time! Back then, Xue Ying had been overwhelmed, and thought it to be just a show of kindness, but now he finally understood that it had been because of his relationship with Jing Qiu.
“You were even teasing me and Seventh Mei Yu back then.” Xue Ying looked at Jing Qiu.
A feeling of unease surged through Jing Qiu’s heart at the sound of that, and she immediately replied, “That was nothing more than a joke. Upon meeting my younger sister again, I was incredibly happy, but I knew that I couldn’t reveal myself. Xue Ying, you won’t avoid me now, will you?”
“The grand Mysterious Star Sword Lady… I don’t even know how many World Deities there are out there who adore you. I don’t even have the time to be happy, so how could I avoid you?” Xue Ying grinned.
Jing Qiu finally let out a breath of air in relief and grasped Xue Ying’s hand. She then said in a somewhat resentful tone, “You knew how nervous I was, and yet you still had it in you to tease me.”
She truly had been nervous.
The Mysterious Star Sword Lady was Monarch Mo Xue’s eldest daughter, and she was bound to be dazzling and extraordinary from her very birth. Because of her relationship with her father, she was extremely cold and arrogant.
Strictly speaking, all seven of Monarch Mo Xue’s daughters had a relatively cold temperament!
Even Monarch Mo Xue himself was a proud and aloof figure.
Her compat power was great, and her father was formidable; there truly were not many who could catch her eye. In the same way that many female transcendents would never marry, Jing Qiu’s previous incarnation was a figure much more valiant than any ordinary female transcendent, and her goal was singular—to transcend and become a powerful existence!
Therefore, despite the long life her previous incarnation had lived, she had never even once considered the concept of love. For formidable World Deities of her level, such matters had no more power to entice.
But now, she was reincarnated, meeting Xue Ying and even having a pair of children with him.
She then became a Deity, awakening the memories of her previous incarnation, and leaving her somewhat afraid that they would spawn misunderstandings between her and Xue Ying once he found out about it! After all, suddenly finding out that your wife was an old codger who had already accumulated memories for over one billion years years was not easy to accept by anyone. More importantly, Jing Qiu had never before been involved in any matters of the heart, which made her value her husband and children even more.
And it was this fear that caused her to want to hide it as much as possible. Of course, this was only part of the reason. On the other hand was the matter of her great enemy.
