Chapter 25：Reveal Of The Millennium Husband

The man in front of me who laid asleep was the man I have loved for more than a million years now. I wanted to touch him, yet I didn't. The feeling I had in body was mixed. There was happiness, guilt, pain, sadness, anger and many more. I should be happy, yet I'm here, confused about what to do.

Unconsciously, I dragged my hand to touch his face, but when I did, I felt nothing. My hand went through his face as if nothing was there. There was no warmth or coldness to my hand. All I felt was the minty air. Was the gods that crossed at us I wondered?

As if disturbed by my touch, he woke and opened his eyes. His eyes were the distinct red that I had always remembered, yet when I looked at them, they were distant and cold. It was the same stare I had received when we first met. I really wanted to have all my questions answered, but somehow, I knew that even if I asked him, he wouldn't remember.

Still, I gave effort and in a weak small voice, I asked, "Wei Qiang, what are doing here?"

With a confused face he asked back, "You know me?"

"Xiao Qiang, do you not remember me?"

"I don't remember anything."

Hearing what he said caused me to break down. All our memories were destroyed just like that. He didn't know me anymore. Still, I was confused all the same. I kept on thinking, if he is here then who was the one in being addressed as the Demon King in the world right now?

"Why are you crying? Don't cry."

"Do you really not remember me, Xiao Qiang?" It took me all my strength to ask that one question. It was just a question, yet, I was so tired after asking it.

"I really don't remember anything. Can you stay by my side till I remember?"

In a weak smile, "Of course you can!"

"Thank you. You called me Xiao Qiang... Is it my name?"

"En. Your name is Wei Qiang. My name is Xia Lin. You can call me Lin'er." I was trying my best to not tear up again, but my voice was cracking and my eyes were threatening to water up and let the droplets appear.

"Did you have a past with me? If you want to cry, go ahead. Use my shoulders."

"Xiao Qiang, you are still as smart as ever. We did... I can't cry on your shoulders."

He looked at me with a confused face. I knew he wouldn't understand. However, his sentence did cause me to let my tears start streaming in a rush. Still, I had no shoulders to lean on. Even if I did, his body was not physical. This body of his, was just a soul. A spirit.

"I see. Is it because my body is just a spirit?"

After calming myself, I answered his question. "Although your body looks like it could be touched, it is not physical, so everything will just go through it." I thought in my head, if his soul is here, then whose soul is possessing his body? I rather glad that I had been calm and did not search for him. If I did, maybe things could have gone wrong in so many ways.

Still, I had this guilty feeling in my body. But should I still feel guilty when he has no memories of our past together? But what if he regains his memories I thought. I made excuses, but I killed them again and again.

"What are you thinking about?"

"If your memories came back, how guilty I would feel. How much pain and sadness both of us will deal with. I'm thinking about the future."

"Why do you say guilty?"

"If you knew our past, I don't know how you would feel once I say this, but I'm married to someone."

Wei Qiang thought he should feel nothing towards this, but somehow, somewhere in his heart, it felt like a needle had stuck itself there. No matter how he was feeling though, he kept his neutral, cold face and didn't let his pain be noticed. He didn't understand though, this was the first time he met this lady, how come he felt like he couldn't stay away from her. How come he felt pain when he heard that she was married to someone. He should be happy for her right, because after all, that man should be the one she loves.

She said we had a past, so what was our past? She is sad, so could it be that we were a couple before. Wait, I shouldn't be making guesses. Once I regain my memories, I'll get to the bottom of this.

"Are you leaving soon?"

"Hm? No... I got mad someone, so I ran away to calm myself."

"In a cave?"

"Hehe... This cave is in a snow mountain called Lotus Mountain. It's spiritual energy is high and also, it is a place where not many people goes to, so I came here to get some peace of my mind."

"You like quiet places?"

"Yes, I've always had. Being somewhere peaceful, gives me a calming sensation."

"How about seeing me? I feel like I just destroyed your peace."

"Not at all! I'm really happy to be able to see you again..." Even if you can't remember me anymore.

"What are you going to do here?"

"I'm going to go to the depths of body to see if my body has done another evolution. I've been feeling that my energy is unstable. If I don't calm it, it'll attack me."

"Do you need help?"

"No. I'll help you on regaining your memories instead, though." Even if it hurts me. "Once I've even spread the energy in my body, I'll come back to conscious mind, but while I'm unconscious, I may look like a dead human, so please don't think I'm dead."

"I won't."

I left to another room in this big cave and sat in a lotus position. I then started to travel inside my own body until I found the problem. Once I did, I found out that my guess of evolution was indeed correct, although, I almost lost my consciousness in my own body due to the power of it. It was indeed more powerful than the rest of my evolutions.

Each of my evolutions were like forms that I can change to. I currently have 4 forms, so adding in this one would be 5. My first evolution was my human form. I could change into a human and my powers would weaken to that equal to a human even though it would still practically be more powerful. My second form was my goddess form. I would change into a god with godly powers. 3rd was my demon form. I had that evolution after becoming Xiao Qiang's queen. My fourth form was unpredictable if I say so myself. It had all human, god, and demon in it. Those three energies would fight to find a spot whenever I activated it, so sometimes, I could lose control of it.

This new one, seemed to be my last evolution ever, though. Not only that, the fact that I can barely keep it in means that, it is so powerful, it could destroy the entire planet. This evolution probably came when I gained my memories back. Since my ocean was opened, all my spirit energy had tried to regain their space in there. It seemed, that the light and dark energy had no space to go to and so, collided with each other instead.

This evolution was too powerful, I only hope that I never have to use it in the future.

Xia Lin who had this thought would never think that one day in the future, she would use this formidable power to save the life of her beloved ones.

Before coming out of her ocean, she had been attacked by the collusion of the dark and light energy and this had harmed her. After coming out, she coughed out a handful of blood. Though she tried to muffle the noise, Wei Qiang still heard it and looked to see her having a fit with coughing. It seemed never-ending, but the fit ended after a short while.

"Are you okay?"

With a weak voice and smile, I said, "Yes. I just didn't expect my own energy to attack me when I about to leave is all."

"Will it leave a scar on your body?"

"No. My body will naturally heal the scar."

"That's good." After thinking a while, he wondered why did her own powers attack her. It should not be acting up. Her body should be able to store all the energies. "Why did it attack you?"

"Oh, well, my dark and light energies have merged."

"Merged?"

"Yes, merged. Well, now that I have that dealt with, I'm going to go take a rest. Tomorrow, we can leave this place."

"Okay. Where ever you are going, I'll follow you."

"You should rest too."

"I've already rested enough. My soul has been sleeping for a while now. I really wish to be able to touch you."

In a barely audible voice, I replied, "Me too." I then left this cave and went to another cave. Before I left that cave, I told him, I'll come back.

The other cave was like an oasis or hot spring. It really was surprising to see that in the snow mountains, you can still get to have a hot spring. But what made me happy was not the hot spring, but the fluctuation in the energy level here. The difference was like daylight between this one and the other cave. This one had almost no trace of energy, while the other was full of energy level.

I decided that I should give up the thought of sleeping and instead pacify the merging energies in my body. If I don't, it will summon itself out without my permission. That will be bad. I don't want to suddenly summon demon out of nowhere. If I did... I don't even want to think about it. The last time this happened, the only way I returned back was because Xiao Qiang had been there for me.

But this time, I must do everything by myself without his help. I can't always depend on him. I can't always depend on others. One day, they will disappear and so will I.

I should release the light energy from my body. Releasing the dark energy will only destroy this peaceful mountain.

Taking the time to release the light energy, I found out that almost all my light energy had been merged with the dark energy. Even if I did something now, there would no difference at all. This would be a waste of my time even if I did do something. The only thing I can do now is try my best to contain the energy in my body without releasing it too much.

I spent the night fighting with my merged energies to make sure that it wouldn't escape my body. After a tiresome fight, Shen Ru came to my side and gave me an idea. I should create another section in my energy storage and lock the merged ones in there. That way it could only escape when I want to use the merged powers. That wasn't a bad idea at all, so I created a new storage in my body and focused my energies to go to that one place. After getting all my energy in there, I locked it.

Coming out, I was truly tired and fell asleep on the stone I was sitting on.

The next morning came and left the cave. When I woke up, there were small traces light energy and broken dark energy. I didn't care to fix this as I was sure, the light energy would consume the dark energy. This would make this mountain all much more holy than ever.

After leaving the cave, I went back to the other cave and saw Xiao Qiang sitting there, waiting patiently for me. Somehow, he looked like a dog. Or rather behaved like one. I'm barely making this analysis here, but it wasn't that much of a bad comparison. When I think of the now and the past, somehow, he did resemble a dog. I just never put it into thought and instead thought of him as my one romantic husband who couldn't deal with leaving my side.

Now that I see this, I couldn't help, but laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Hehe! I'm sorry. I was just thinking how your actions are so similar to that of a loyal dog."

"You must have lots of memories of me and especially close to me to be making that comparison."

"Eh? Well, yes... To say truthfully... Sigh, I was going to keep this a secret, but I have never kept a secret from you, so this is going to be hard."

"A secret?"

"Xiao Qiang, we've been married for over a million years. We considered ourselves, a couple fit for each other."

"Is that why I have been feeling a tinging feeling in my heart yesterday when you said you were married to someone?"

"You did!"

"Why are you so happy? Aren't you sad that I may try to separate you from your husband? After all, married couples are in love, are they not?"

"Of course I'm happy. I've been waiting for you since the day I regained my memories. About my husband, I was forced to be married."

"Then why are you guilty?"

"Because I slept with him. You don't think I'm a slut or whore, right?" I looked at him with a sad, yet expecting face. I didn't know why I was being this honest to him. Maybe it was because I had always been this honest with him. Even back then, I never kept a secret from him. All my secrets were unveiled before him, and he accepted them all.

I waited for his answer and when it came, I was so happy and ecstatic.
