AST 2412 - She Is Going to Leave the Forsaken Heaven Region, The Wu Clan Has Come (1/2)

Qing Shui could tell that there wasn't any strength to this hit and that she did this instinctively. Thus, he didn't move and allowed her to smack his head.

It wasn't painful. It wasn't painful at all. Qing Shui maintained his composure and took her hand.

”Let go!” Tantai Lingyan tried to draw back her hand.

”I won't!” Qing Shui said outright.

Boom!

Tantai Lingyan landed a palm on Qing Shui's chest. This strike was unlike before; she had used a lot of strength.

”Let go!” Tantai Lingyan continued saying.

”I won't!”

Boom!

...

It was only until blood flowed out from the corners of Qing Shui's lips that Tantai Lingyan stopped. She saw that Qing Shui was still smiling, and her mind was in a mess. Was this guy really hers in the past? She couldn't remember it. However, what she believed was that even though a person could lie, their gaze wouldn't. Moreover, she also had a feeling.

A woman's intuition!

”I don't remember you, so why are you doing this? I'm no longer the person whom I was in the past. I can only be considered to be another person now. You don't have to do this.” Tantai Lingyan sighed and looked at Qing Shui.

”To me, you've never changed, not at all. In the past, you told me that you didn't wish to become the Demon King. If there comes a day when you’re unable to suppress the Demon King's Blood, you told me to finish you off,” Qing Shui said softly.

”Will you kill me?” asked Tantai Lingyan.

”I won't. You promised that you were going to bear a bunch of kids for me,” Qing Shui said very seriously.

This time around, Tantai Lingyan didn't have the urge to hit him; she was even in a slight daze. She was lonely, very lonely. But what could she do? This was her mission. However, To this guy who had been her man in the past—the one whom she had given herself to—the one she had almost killed with her sword, she didn’t know what her feeling was. Earlier on, he hadn’t retaliated even though she had been hitting him like that. He could put down all of his guard before her...

Furthermore, this person was a Battle God, a mortal enemy of her people. How many people could actually go to such an extent? If it wasn't that he loved her more than he loved himself, how was he able to do this?

”Don't feel pressured. In the future, I'll come to look for you when I miss you. If you don't come out, I'll shout.” Qing Shui chuckled.

Tantai Lingyan looked at Qing Shui's slightly pale countenance and wiped off the blood on the corners of his lips. This action scared even herself; Qing Shui was stunned as well. He looked at the slightly dazed Tantai Lingyan. ”This is your instinctive action. Do you believe that you had been my wife now?”

”I do. But even now, I don't remember you,” said Tantai Lingyan seriously.

”It's because this is your mission. We're on opposing sides. It's because you won't be able to complete your current mission if you don't forget about me,” Qing Shui sighed.

Tantai Lingyan seemed to be struck by realization as well. She looked at the hand that Qing Shui was holding tightly on to, and realized that she didn't actually detest this feeling that much. Moreover, she also realized that this man had once again left his shadow in her heart.

”You can let go now, right? I'm going back,” Tantai Lingyan said.

”Lingyan, I really wish that you can return to how you were in the past. I want to give you happiness. We were almost able to realize that, but I hadn't expected things to turn out this way.” Qing Shui slowly let go of her hand.

”Take care. We'll still meet each other in the future. Oh right, I'm going to leave. The next time you come, you won't be able to see me,” Tantai Lingyan said softly.
