**Back to Present time**
Jiang Ming woke up on what seemed like a long nightmare as he gasped for multiple breaths.
"Oh my god, that freaking nightmare is horrifying." Jiang Ming shouted as he placed his hand on his chest.
His heart was beating rapidly and it was clear that recalling his past with Qi Shan was anything but rainbows.
"You're finally awake, master."
Jiang Ming's expression was pale when he glanced upward and saw Qi Shan's smiling face.
The same devilish smile that had caused him to almost quit Cultivation Omega forever.
"Why are you turning so pale, master~," Qi Shan said enchantingly. Her rosy red lips were intoxicating for any male to have their manhood rise up like how a carp would leap over the dragon gate.
"Is my lap so smooth that you become so dazed?" Qi Shan teased.
Jiang Ming swallowed nervously as he shook his head unconsciously.
However, he quickly nodded his head when he noticed Qi Shan's mood dropped.
"Yes, very smooth, Qi Shan's lap is the best place to rest in." Jiang Ming flattered her as he got up and stepped away from her.
Qi Shan eyed Jiang Ming amusingly as she smiled gently at him. "It has been a long time since we met each other again, right?"
"I really enjoyed our time back then until that damn Immortal Emperor decided to banish me." She was in a pouting mood as she slowly got up and walked toward Jiang Ming.
After that, she leaned closer to Jiang Ming, "Did you miss me this much? I thought I would be stuck in that darkness for the rest of my life but who would have thought a bright portal appeared suddenly."
"And you were on the other side, smiling eagerly and nervous at the same time, almost like you were panicking."
Qi Shan then placed her hands around Jiang Ming's neck as she giggled.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was sweating profusely as he was too dumbfounded to understand what Qi Shan was talking about.
All he knew was that the summoning gacha he just did was a complete scam. A scam that steals his money and also brings him a calamity into his life.
Qi Shan was indeed a toppling beauty that can make many men wage war for her heart but Jiang Ming wanted nothing more than to brush her aside, far away from his sight.
'System, why are you torturing me like this?' Jiang Ming cried inwardly as he stood still in silence while Qi Shan started licking his earlobes.
Qi Shan seductively licked Jiang Ming's ear while her hands started reaching under his clothes.
"Although your appearance is slightly different from back then, the aura emitting from you hasn't changed one bit." Qi Shan commented as she started twirling her fingers around his chest.
"Q-Qi Shan, that was in the past-"
Jiang Ming wanted to say something but Qi Shan locked his lips with her as she kissed him passionately.
Jiang Ming's eyes widened in surprise as he could taste her emotion through their kissing and part of her emotion was something Jiang Ming will never believe could occur in her.
'Bitterness...loneliness...fear…' Jiang Ming managed to taste all three of these emotions from her saliva and he became dumbfounded.
The Qi Shan he knew was always outgoing and unruly- one that will never have a day of sadness in her life.
Suddenly, Jiang Ming felt some droplets falling into his face. As their kiss broke apart, Jiang Ming saw Qi Shan tearing up.
"W-Why are you suddenly crying?" Jiang Ming held a gawking expression as he quickly retrieved a handkerchief to wipe away her tears.
However, before he got the chance to do so, Qi Shan once again pounced toward Jiang Ming and hugged him tightly.
Her legs wrapped around his waist, almost like a slithering snake holding onto their prey.
"I'm not dreaming right now, right? You are really Jiang Ming and this isn't an illusion right." Qi Shan said frantically.
Jiang Ming was in disbelief as to why Qi Shan acted this weirdly but one thing he knew for sure was that this wasn't an act or prank that Qi Shan came up with to troll him.
Qi Shan's body was trembling rapidly and she kept locking herself near Jiang Ming whom she saw as a safety nest.
Jiang Ming slowly raised his hands and embraced her as well. "This isn't an illusion, Qi Shan. It's really me and you are back."
Qi Shan bit her lips softly as her mood started changing into a lively girl.
"That's right, Qi Shan is back." Qi Shan unlocked her legs from Jiang Ming and she started kissing Jiang Ming passionately again.
Jiang Ming soon closed his eyes as he wrapped around her waist tighter and enjoyed their long but sweet kiss.
Sometime later, Qi Shan pulled apart from him as she remained on top of his chest.
"Did you miss me badly?" Qi Shan asked. "You even managed to create a portal to help me escape from that gruesome prison so you must definitely be missing my appearance and body."
Jiang Ming's expression turned solemn as he held her waist.
"I should be the one asking you questions." Jiang Ming said irritatedly.
"After torturing me for a long time, you suddenly vanished from sight- I had searched everywhere for you but there are no traces at all."
Qi Shan clenched her fist tightly.
"Did you think I wanted to disappear from you? I know that you were afraid of me initially but we spent more than 2 years together, exploring everywhere." Qi Shan pouted as she glared fiercely at him.
"Why didn't you come to rescue me?" She added.
"How am I supposed to rescue you when I didn't even know where you were?" Jiang Ming retorted.
"Didn't you mention about needing to fight a powerful cultivator that had a world event for you to do? That powerful cultivator was the one that banished me and he said only the fated one can rescue me."
