49 Chapter 049 - Ba Yue and Mak Lok Son's Talk

It's been a very long time since Ba Yue had breakfast with Lok-Son. She missed the feeling of having him around and of course, his super good cooking! The morning seems normal and everyone is sitting around eating breakfast together. Nothing seems to be out of the origin, this feeling is so good. But Ba Yue also knows that after today, depending on how the talk goes with Lok-Son. They might not be able to be like this anymore.

After breakfast, Lok-Son wanted to bring Ba Yue to his place. Without much thinking, Ba Yue went with him on his horse carriage. She also brought along Little Red and the Han sisters. Soon, they have reached a mansion hidden in the woods right out of the town. Ba Yue got off the horse carriage and is confused why Lok-Son would bring her here.

"Lok-Son, where is this place and why did you bring me here? I thought you will bring me to the palace."

"Little Yue, this is my place. It's the headquarters of my power that I've built since young." Lok-Son led her to the front door. The same two guards saw their master coming, so they immediately greeted him.

"Welcome back, your majesty! The Ghost King!" Even though Lok-Son didn't change to his other appearance, but the guards still recognize him. They have seen both of his appearances before since they guard this main door for a very long time.

Lok-Son brought Ba Yue and the others inside. As Ba Yue follows him inside, she can't help but wonder who he really is. They called him the ghost king and this mansion is hidden inside the woods. This doesn't look like a simple place, she can feel lots of strong people hidden in this mansion. But one thing that bothers her the most is that she notices the eagle logo on the front door guard's sleeve. Can he really be...

Just as Ba Yue lost in her thoughts, they have arrived at a room that looks like Lok-Son's studies. He told Gao Sing to bring the others to rest in another room while he brings Ba Yue inside his room.

"Little Yue, come on in," Lok-Son said as he walks in first.

Lok Son's voice brought her back from her thinking. She followed him inside and looks around the room. She then goes over to the empty seat by the table and sits down. Lok-Son also took a seat next to her and starts pouring tea for her.

"Little Yue, I will tell you whatever you want to know. I also hope that you can reply to my question from before after you know everything about me." The question that he is referring to is the question that he had asked her the last time they saw each.

"Lok-Son, I heard from Little Red that you know about me and the other worlds. You also know about the Han sisters and Little Red too. Since you know so much, can I assume that you are not from this lower plane world either?" Ba Yue got straight to the point and start asking him questions that she has been curious of.

"That is right, I'm not from this world either. I'm not the real seventh prince of this country and there isn't a seventh prince to being with."

"What do you mean?"

He then tells her briefly about his real mother and the weird family tradition, etc. He also told her what really happened when he was eight years old and how he knows his real identity. Ba Yue listens to him talk quietly, she feels pain for him knowing that he has gone through so much at a young age.

"Little Yue, is there anything else you want to know?"

"Yes, I noticed the guards at the front door have an eagle sewn on their sleeves. Is….mm….is this place the Dark Eagle's headquarter?"

"Little Yue, you have very good observation skills. Yes, the power that I have built over the years is the Dark Eagle."

Ba Yue is shocked that Lok Son was able to build such a big power and wealth in such a short period of time. It's not easy for anyone to do this in just 10 years of time, even she isn't able to do it. Then Ba Yue remembers that it was the Dark Eagle that took care of the Li family, but why?

"Lok-Son, I heard that the Dark Eagle put the Li family on the blacklist and is giving them a hard time, why?" Ba Yue really wants to know why he would do that. Did someone from the Li family really offend him?

"I did it because of you," Lok-Son said it in a low voice. He thought that Ba Yue was mad at him for doing that.

Ba Yue is dumbfounded, she had no idea the reason for the Li family's misfortune was because of her! She had no idea why, so she has to ask, "WHY?"

"Little Yue, last time you told me that you loved a man and did everything for him. But in the end he betrayed you, so you can't trust a man that lies to you. I have investigated everything about you, the only man that has anything to do with you is Li Dong-Man. I even found out how he had treated you before and how he used you for his own greed. Such a shameless man, I have to take revenge for you." Lok-Son looks angry and felt unfair for his Little Yue.

Once again, Ba Yue is shocked at the reason for the Li family misfortune. But does this still court as her revenge to the Li family too? Maybe, but she also felt really warm inside of her heart. Lok-Son might not know who the man she is really referring to is, but he cares about her enough to take revenge for her. Ba Yue has no expression on her face because she is thinking about something. But Lok-Son thought she might be mad at him for doing this kind of thing for her.

"Little Yue, are you mad because I take revenge on Li Dong-Man and his family for you? Do...umm...do you still like that man?" He's worried that Ba Yue still likes that man.

"Huh?" Ba Yue had a question head on top of her head. Why would she like that shameless man?

He's overthinking her relationship with that shameless man and has mistaken it, Ba Yue though.

"Why would I like that shameless man? I was going to get revenge on him sooner or later. I have to thank you for taking care of him for me."

"Since you know all about me already, can you answer my previous question now? Will you give me a chance to be with you? Lok-Son had a very serious look on his face.

Ba Yue took a deep breath and exhale it out. She also looks back at Lok Son and said, "since you have come clean with me, I think it's only fair that I also tell you about myself too. I'll answer your question after you listen to my story and also answer a couple of my questions."

But before Ba Yue tell him about her real identity from the upper plane world, she needs to tell him about Li Hei-Yi.

"Lok Son, you might or might not know of a person name Li Hei-Yi. She's also a member of the Li family, but she and her family have all passed away already."

Lok Son search through his memories and remembered Junzhi has reported to him about them before. So he knows more or less about them.

"When we were doing an investigation on the Li family before, I have heard about her and her family. What about it?" Lok-Son looks curiously at Ba Yue, why is she mentioning Li Hei-Yi? Does she know her?

"Let me tell you about her story and her ending because it will lead to the main story that I will tell you later." Ba Yue starts to tell him all about Li Hei-Yi, how naive she was and how her parents have died. She also tells him about her husband, how he betrayed her with her own cousin and finally how the man she loved killed her.

Listening to Ba Yue talks about Li Hei-Yi, he has a bad feeling. He felt like listening to a story of Ba Yue herself. When Ba Yue gets to the end about the last moment of Li Hei Yi's life, he is confused about how she knows all this. It's as she was there herself, but that's impossible.

"Lok Son, you probably wonder how I know all this and why I'm so clear about it."

Lok-Son nodded his head. Ba Yue continue to tell him the reason, and when he heard what she said. He is completely speechless because he can never have guessed it.

"That's because when Li Hei-Yi died, her soul didn't go to the Spiritual World to get reborn. Instead, she has been reborn in another body and lives on as another person. That person is ME!" Ba Yue looks at Lok Son's face, she doesn't want to miss any of his reactions. She wants to see if he thinks she lying or not and if he can accept such an impossible thing. But she didn't see any reaction on his face, his face is completely expressionless. Even though his face is expressionless, Lok Son's inside is in a turmoil right now.

"You might not believe this since it sounds so impossible, but…"

Before Ba Yue can continue her sentence, Lok-Son interrupted her.

"I believe you, otherwise you can't know all this like you were there." Even though it sounds impossible, but he believed her. Because he believed her, he now knows who she's really talking about when she told him that she was betrayed by the man she loved. That man is not Li Dong-Man, but that bastard Mu Huang!

Ba Yue had a slight smile on her face, she's glad that he believed her and his face doesn't show that he's afraid of her like she's a ghost. She continues to tell him what happened after Li Hei-Yi soul entered this body of hers. How she changed this body and become who she is today.

After she talks about herself as Ba Yue, many things started to make sense. Why did she change so much after the accident, etc? It all makes sense to him now. So it turns out that he didn't really fall in love with Ba Yue, but the Ba Yue with Li Hei-Yi's soul in her.

"Lok-Son, after listening to my story so far, do you still like me? I'm not the original Ba Yue, but a soul that is using her body. Are you scare of me?"

"Little Yue, you might not know this but the person that I fell in love with has always been you."

"What do you mean?

"I have never met the previous Ba Yue before. The first time I met you is not on the street at that time when the second prince pushes me out of the restaurant."

"Wait, but that is not possible since that day is the very next day that my soul has entered this body. I was inside the Ba residence unless…."

"That's right, the very first time I saw you were at the Black Forest. My men and I were coming back from a mission and passed by the Black Forest. Right before we reached the exit, we saw a girl going into the forest. I got curious why a weak girl would be at this dangerous forest by herself. We followed you and saw you trying very hard to train by yourself. I thought that this is an interesting girl. I didn't know who you are, but you had caught my interest.

The next day, I met you again in person. I didn't expect that but I was happy to see you again. When I saw you being bullied by the second prince, but there was no fear on your face at all. You stood tall and didn't back down to him, you even helped me with my wound. At that time, I thought that this girl is not only interesting but also different.

I went back to the forest hoping to see you there again. You did come and you continued to stay and train by yourself very hard. I saw the changes in you and the dedication you have with your training. I watched you the whole time and slowly fall more and more in love with you."

"WAIT! So you mean you were at the Black Forest all these time and I never noticed you there! How strong are you? Ba Yue can't believe that Lok Son has been paying attention to her since so long ago. And she can't believe that she never noticed anyone watching her the whole time she trains over there!

"Well, you did notice and saw me there before, but you just didn't recognize me since I looked different."

"Wait, let me think. The only people I have met back then is just a weird masked man. Don't tell me you that ….." Ba Yue suddenly look up at Lok-Son.

Lok Son saw her look over to him, he slowly changes to his real appearance. Ba Yue is shocked beyond words, how can a person's look change so much like that!

"That hair color, that beautiful pair of blue eyes, IT IS YOU! But how?"

"Little Yue, this is my real appearance. I have liked you ever since your soul entered this body and not before you have changed pretty. So I won't be scared of you and I'm happy that you have told me the truth about the real you. As for my appearance, my look changes when my power is concealed."

When Lok-Son was the seventh prince, Ba Yue can't feel much energy from him. She always thought that he was probably very weak, but now it's completely different. He changed back to his real appearance and has released some of his energy out. She doesn't know how strong he is since he is way stronger than her, but she knew he is way stronger than the purple level. This kind of power level is not from this lower plane world. She truly believes he is from the other worlds now.

"Lok-Son, I have told you so much about me being both Li Hei-Yi and Ba Yue. Now, I want to ask you a question before I can tell you more. Do you mind that I have been married before to Mu Huang when I was still Li Hei-Yi?" Ba Yue really wants to know what Lok-Son would think about this. Not many men in this world can accept a woman being married before, even though that's her other body and she is still clean.

Lok-Son held Ba Yue's hand and look straight into her eyes, he wants to make sure she knows exactly what he thinks.

"It doesn't matter if you are Ba Yue or Li Hei-Yi, you are you. It is not your fault that you met such a horrible man. I know you are still clean, but even if you weren't, it makes no difference to me. I like you because of your soul, not because of your appearance or your body."

Ba Yue is so touched! How can such a fine man treat her so well? Why couldn't she have met him first instead of Mu Huang back then? But it doesn't matter anymore, because if it weren't for those horrible people back then. Then she won't be here today and wouldn't have met this man in front of her.
