"Yao Xian, I have something to tell you."
Gu Changsheng said, looking at Yao Xian in his arms.
"Mm, I'm listening!" Yao Xian's voice was very soft, without the coldness she showed when speaking to others.
"Rumble!"
In the sky battlefield, the two were engaged in a fierce battle, various divine powers and spells erupting with dazzling divine light. They were evenly matched, and the battle fell into a stalemate, making it difficult to determine the victor for a time.
Yao Xian didn't care at all about the semi-final that would determine who her opponent would be in three days. Instead, she looked at Gu Changsheng's handsome and resolute face, listening to what he had to say.
One started from 300,000 years ago, and the other from over a thousand years ago.
Gu Changsheng spoke in great detail, explaining how he, Yun Wuyue, and Houtu met, got to know each other, and finally decided to accept them. He even mentioned that he and Yun Wuyue had an unexpected daughter, Yun Shuang, who was not related by blood.
About two hours passed, and during these two hours, Gu Changsheng was talking, and Yao Xian was listening.
"Are you finished?" Yao Xian's voice was calm, with no discernible emotional fluctuations.
"Mm!" Gu Changsheng nodded.
"What if I said I'm not happy?" Yao Xian left Gu Changsheng's arms, pouting as she looked at him.
Gu Changsheng nodded and said, "It's normal to be unhappy, but I can only apologize to you for this. I was a bit greedy."
"You're not just a little greedy! Sister Wuyue is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm, and Sister Houtu is the ancestor of the Ancient God race. Just mentioning their names can shake the heavens and myriad realms. Yet, you alone have won their hearts. How can you call that 'a little greedy'?"
Yao Xian's tone was exaggerated, but she was stating a fact. Yun Wuyue was known as the most beautiful woman in the heavens and myriad realms, and Houtu was no less beautiful than Yun Wuyue. Getting either of them would be a blessing accumulated over countless lifetimes, but Gu Changsheng got both of them. It really couldn't be called "a little greedy."
"What about you?" Gu Changsheng said to Yao Xian with a smile.
"Me?" Yao Xian pointed at herself and said, "I'm just an ordinary cultivator, not even an immortal. I don't count for much."
"Don't you dare say that about yourself." Gu Changsheng flicked Yao Xian's forehead, and she cried out in pain.
"Anyone I take a fancy to, even if it's a little pig, is extraordinary," Gu Changsheng added.
"You… you're the little pig!" Yao Xian glared at him playfully, pouting her lips.
Gu Changsheng poked her lips with his finger and teased, "Still saying you're not a little pig? This mouth could hang a bottle of wine."
"I'm not!" Yao Xian stood up, hands on her hips, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Alright, alright, you're not, I am," Gu Changsheng said.
"No, you're not either," Yao Xian said, "If you're a little pig, then what am I? A little pig's wife, a sow?"
Hearing this, Gu Changsheng laughed heartily and pulled Yao Xian into his arms again, saying, "We're neither, are you satisfied now?"
"Mm!" Yao Xian nodded emphatically.
"Weren't you saying you were unhappy? How about now?" Gu Changsheng asked softly.
Yao Xian shook her head and said, "I'm not unhappy. Actually, I knew before you came."
"Mm?" Gu Changsheng was taken aback.
"You still call me a little pig. I just said that Sister Wuyue taught me. If I didn't know who she was, would she be able to teach me to… kiss you like that?"
As she spoke, two red clouds climbed onto Yao Xian's fair face, and even her ears turned red.
Gu Changsheng suddenly understood, but at the same time, he was puzzled. Usually, he would have thought of many things when he heard this. Could it be that the setting of love making people's IQ drop is irrespective of all cultivation levels?
"I thought I was destined to meet Sister Wuyue, but it's true that we're destined, but this destiny isn't the 'fate' destiny, but the 'marriage' destiny," Yao Xian said.
"Then what was your reaction at the time?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Are you thinking that I should be jealous, angry, or unhappy?" Yao Xian asked back.
Gu Changsheng nodded.
"Not at all!" Yao Xian's voice was very cheerful. She continued, "Actually, I've always felt very sorry for you."
"Why?" Gu Changsheng frowned.
"I don't know why, but recently, I've been seeing some images in my mind, as well as some divine powers and techniques that I've never learned before, such as a technique called 'Congenital Dao Scripture'. This technique is specially tailored for the Congenital Dao Body. I can't cultivate it, but inexplicably, memories about it have appeared in my mind."
"Moreover, it's not just divine powers and techniques, but also some memories about people, but they're very vague. But that person is a man. In those fragmented memories, he always spoke to me in a very gentle tone. Sometimes, when these memories appear in my mind, I can't tell whether I'm Yao Xian or Yao Ji in the memories."
"Changsheng, this may be my past life's memories, and that person is likely to be my past life's husband. I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally want to remember these memories. I don't dare to tell Sister Wuyue. I'm scared, I'm sorry!"
As she spoke, Yao Xian threw herself into Gu Changsheng's arms, and Gu Changsheng only felt a warm sensation on his chest.
Yao Xian was crying.
Gu Changsheng gently patted Yao Xian's back, using the gentlest voice in the world, saying, "Yao Xian, the man in your memory is indeed your past life's husband, but have you ever thought that that man is me?"
Yao Xian was stunned. She looked up at Gu Changsheng, her tearful appearance making Gu Changsheng feel extremely sorry. If he had known that Yao Xian would feel lost because of this, he should have revealed everything to Yao Xian long ago and awakened her memories, even though that would have been selfish, but it would be better than making Yao Xian feel lost.
"Really?" Yao Xian said.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Now, we've already agreed that you'll come after I become an immortal, but you've appeared now," Yao Xian muttered.
"Uh…" Gu Changsheng was speechless for a moment. Strictly speaking, he really did lie to her.
"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, I'll awaken your past life's memories for you now," Gu Changsheng said.
"No!"
Yao Xian shook her head decisively, "Let it happen naturally."
"Are you worried that your past life's memories will affect you?" Gu Changsheng asked.
"Mm!" Yao Xian nodded, because she wasn't sure if she would be Yao Xian or Yao Ji after awakening her past life's memories.
"Don't worry, Yao Ji is Yao Xian, but Yao Xian is not Yao Ji. Yao Ji is just your past. And I don't care whether you're Yao Ji or Yao Xian, I just like you."
Seeing that Yao Xian was unwilling to awaken her past life's memories, Gu Changsheng didn't take action, but he still said these words, the purpose being to make Yao Xian no longer feel lost.
"Mm, I understand," Yao Xian nodded gently.
Gu Changsheng reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face, while Yao Xian buried her head deeper in Gu Changsheng's arms.
"Shouldn't we also have children?" Yao Xian asked.
"Mm, we have one, his name is Gu Sheng, his talent is good, he only used 500,000 years to become an Immortal Venerable," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.
"What? He became an Immortal Venerable in only 500,000 years? If that talent is considered good, then wouldn't I be far behind?" Yao Xian exclaimed.
"Compared to me, he's good," Gu Changsheng said.
"You just want to praise yourself, don't you?" Yao Xian raised her head slightly and gave him a glare.
"Yeah, in front of my wife, I can't let others overshadow me, right? Not even my son," Gu Changsheng admitted frankly.
"So stingy!" Yao Xian muttered, then said, "Can I sleep in your arms?"
"Sure, those two are fighting too boringly, they've been fighting for half a day and still haven't decided the winner. How can they compare to my wife?"
Gu Changsheng said disdainfully, but didn't hear Yao Xian's response. He looked down and found that Yao Xian was already asleep.
