Sheng Tian slowly opened his eyes as the morning rays of the sun fell on his eyes. He stretched his body and got up. Xiao Lian was sitting cross-legged in the lotus, probably meditating.
The banquet would be in the evening. There will be guests from the noble families, basically, all the top dogs of the Qin Capital would attend it.
Sheng Tian wanted to skip it but was thinking of a good excuse. He washed up and ordered his breakfast enough for 6 six people.
Soon after, he was out of his room. He wanted some fresh air.
Walking in the Qin Clan territory, he was enjoying the Winter before spring arrives. Many people from different walks of life started to go to their works. The quiet roads became bustling and noisy slowly.
Sheng Tian slowly turned around and walked towards Qin Qing's residence. After all, he was staying there.
But just as he was about to go there, his sight caught three people. One of them was wearing a Snow White Dress and gave off an Icy feeling. A veil covered her face. She was the Cold Beauty, Ice Goddess.
Sheng Tian turned around to greet her and they happened to pass by Sheng Tian at the same time, thus when he did turn around, they came face to face.
In the trio, a young woman with fairy grace was present. She emitted a calm, serene aura. Even without any cultivation, she would possess a great bearing. She was wearing a veil covering her face only showing her bright eyes which shone with a tinge of golden light. But she was now showing a startled expression in her eyes as her movements came to a sudden halt.
The young girl beside the woman was confused as to why they suddenly stopped. Then she saw that a young man who is somewhat handsome blocking their path and staring right at her Senior Sister. The lass became annoyed that another hedonist young master is trying to woo her Senior Sister.
She said in a threatening and mocking tone "Hey, don't be a toad who lusts after swan's meat. Get lost! Or else even your backing can't bear the consequences."
Seeing that the fellow might not listen she added: "If you don't leave in three seconds, you will pay."
She took out her sword as she decided to attack him lightly. But before she could do anything, the young woman caught her arm and shook her head signaling her to stop. The Young girl was confused to why she did that.
Sheng Tian regained his composure soon. The reason he was shocked so long was not because of seeing this beauty's appearance rather the person being his fiancee, Meng Xin. He recognized her straight away from her body and eyes. She seemed to recognize him too!
The moment he saw her eyes, the memories of the three years he spent with that girl came rushing in. As nostalgia hit him hard, a bittersweet feeling rose in his heart as everything seemed to be a distant dream. The emotions he sealed up for 'Meng Xin' flooded him completely. The sentiments they shared, was it just a dream? Was everything fake?
Waves of emotions washed over his soul as he questioned the very meaning of reality and fiction. Every day she woke up in his arms, Every time they spoke with each other, Every time they ate other, All the times they laughed together, All the care they showed for each other, Every time they looked into each other's eyes under the vast sky feeling the boundless love underneath, was it all not 'Real'?
Sheng Tian slowly controlled himself as he looked at the person in front. He didn't know whether it was just a dream or something they both experienced together.
Meng Xin only took a moment to recognize him. But other than the shock of seeing him, she felt a bitterness which she couldn't explain. She had a sudden urge to cry. She felt something she always lost returned to her the moment she saw him.
She felt an inexplicable feeling towards him. It was like they met each other countless times, known each other, lived together. But she can't remember anything. A sense of unfamiliar familiarity filled her Soul.
They only came out of the daze when Ke'Er was about to attack, Meng Xin held her arm and shook her head. Ke'er turned to Meng Xin doubtfully, not getting why. How many people had tried wooing her Senior Sister? She already lost count. Yet, she showed no interest in any. Then why the special treatment for him?
Then Meng Xin spoke to Leng Yue Yan whose cold indifferent eyes now had a spark of curiosity presently in a soft and clear tone "Yue Yan, I want to talk to him for a while. Could you arrange a place?" her voice was soft like cotton, sweet like honey capturing the listeners.
Leng Yue Yan nodded her head and looked at Sheng Tian with curiosity. Meng Xin was the only friend of the Ice Goddess, their relationship was very close. She never heard of 'Ling Tian' from her. But with her indifferent and cold attitude, she wouldn't ask Meng Xin unless she told her. So, it would not be surprising not knowing about him.
Sheng Tian didn't speak a word as he just went with her. They reached Qin Qing's residence.
Leng Yue Yan spoke to the maids and left with Ke'er leaving Sheng Tian and Meng Xin alone in a living room. They sat opposite each other.
Sheng Tian already calmed himself. He had two questions to ask her immediately. Did she also live in the dream for three years and did things consciously? And How did she recognize him?
Meng Xin calmed her emotions and slowly talked as she smiled lightly" I didn't expect to see you here, especially the way you are now."
Sheng Tian put aside the dream telling himself that it could very well be possible that the Meng Xin he knew in the dream was a fragmentation of the illusion or his mind, not the one sitting opposite to him. He decided to treat her how he would if the dream not occurred.
He lightly smiled and said "Me too. I am more curious about who you are thinking I might be."
He wanted to confirm from her if he was really identified or was mistook as someone else.
Meng Xin looked at him and said slowly "Sheng Tian. I would never recognize a person wrongly."
Although her tone was calm, the confidence was evident.
Sheng Tian looked at her with interest. Then he said "I am curious. But since you recognize me, It would be rude of me to talk to you still being in disguise."
Saying so, he waved his hands lightly as a light flashed and his true form was revealed. The somewhat handsome face from before was gone, in its place now was something otherworldly.
Vibrant Silver hair showing its uniqueness, with swords like eyebrows, his sky blue eyes shone like stars, his face was like it was sculpted by the universe to perfection. His skin was smooth, his face was handsome beyond compare. His lips were slightly arched upwards showing a faint smile which had a tinge of playfulness.
Meng Xin was stunned and felt her whole vision completely focusing on his face and eyes. His eyes were like deep abysses sinking all her attention while that smile was like a dangerous thief to steal the hearts of countless maidens.
Meng Xin hurriedly looked away from him. Only after a little while did she turn again. It was not just his face which was under disguise, even his body was too. She was too captivated by his face that she failed to notice it. Previously in his disguise, his golden blue clothes looked like show off from a young master. But now with his true face and body revealed, they felt a little low grade for him.
Meng Xin herself didn't notice these subconscious thoughts. She calmed herself and looked at him with a hint of caution now. She asked carefully "Are you really Sheng Tian?"
Not her, no one who saw him before would recognize him if they saw the current Sheng Tian. The difference is farther than between Heaven and Earth! No wonder Meng Xin asked such question.
Sheng Tian laughed lightly and quoted " 'I never recognize a person wrongly' was what you told me a moment ago, right?"
But Meng Xin was not convinced, she stared at him as her gaze turned cold and a huge pressure fell on him as she said in her still calm voice which contained anger, worry, and self-blame "What did you do to him? Who are you? Did you take over his body?"
Now it was Sheng Tian's turned to be stunned. He felt that the conversation was going somewhere it shouldn't. Wasn't this girl's imagination a bit too high? Why doesn't anyone believe the truth?
He made a face with light sadness and said " Then tell me how I should prove that I am myself. Got any ideas?"
Meng Xin was a bit taken back seeing his attitude which didn't contain a tad of worry. She decided to talk things out before anything is confirmed.
But before she could talk, Sheng Tian spoke "Actually, I have an idea. See if this proves anything. You are Meng Xin, my fiancee. I got to see you for the first time 3 months ago. You are wearing snow-white robes. You didn't have a veil at that time. Accompanying you was your Martial Uncle who was pretty rude towards me, he also warned me to stay away from you. What was that? Oh yeah,...' You won't know how you died.'
And you, you told me that I can marry you if I defeat you fair and square. Oh, and your boobs seemed to be bigger now. This is enough to prove that I am Sheng Tian, your fiancee right?"
Meng Xin was stupified as he told her the events and conversations of that day. There was no one else there, that means he must be...But how dare he speak such words about her? Isn't it decent manners to respect her when speaking.
She looked at him angrily as her eyes showed clear anger. If it was someone else, they might have already gotten beaten up. But this guy is her fiancee, she had...to give some face and not bully him. But that wouldn't mean she would allow him to speak like that. She said angrily "How can you speak such words to a lady? Apologize now."
Sheng Tian looked at her smilingly. He said calmly " I am your fiancee and not an outsider. And I just spoke about the growth of your body. As your fiancee, I have full responsibilities to make sure that you 'grow' healthily everywhere. How can you say that I was rude when all I have are good intentions?" at last, he even made a face like an honest man who was wronged.
Meng Xin just wanted to punch him for twisting the facts and hiding intentions. But she is still a calm person and yes, the person who spoke is her fiancee. If it was someone else, even with this explanation, they would be in serious trouble. She calmed her self slowly. She was not here for a fight. She will let him off this once. She told herself.
Sheng Tian nodded lightly and said "I get that you got what I was getting at. Well then, I am curious. How did you know it was me?"
Meng Xin got over her shocks already and replied with a question "How did you manage to disguise that I can't see through?"
'This girl likes to be in control, eh..' Sheng Tian thought and said nonchalantly "I asked first."
Meng Xin was a bit silent before she replied "It is one of the abilities of my Cultivation Technique. I can sense a person by their heart."
Sheng Tian clicked his tongue in amazement. This is definitely an OP ability. No one can disguise from her. Then doesn't it mean devils also can't disguise themselves from her? It's pretty amazing.
He almost wanted to ask what is this cultivation technique but stopped himself as it is a personal matter. And they were not close to share such things. He gave his answer "Well about my disguise, it is a profound art. That's all I can say."
Meng Xin nodded and asked the important question "What happened to you in the past three months? I sent someone to search for you in all the cities and towns nearby the sect to take care of you. But you are nowhere to be found. At first, I thought you were not found yet, but after a month I began to worry. I would have gone to search there myself after my training this time If I didn't find you."
Her grumbling didn't make him annoyed but he felt like he returned to the days in the dream world when she used to grumble when he was late for dinner due to work. The same expression, the same tone, the same choice of words, everything about her is still the same. She is just younger by a few years. He felt at home. A small smile surfaced on his mouth from pure joy.
Meng Xin who was speaking caught his smile. She felt that this situation is so familiar. Her complaining about his behavior and him smiling in response. Even with her calm personality, she couldn't bear it and said blamingly: "Why are you always smiling when I speak?"
Sheng Tian replied unconsciously still being in a daze like he always did "I'm just smiling looking at my beautiful wife's grumblings."
Caught off guard with the word "wife", Meng Xin looked at him shocked. At the same time,
Sheng Tian also woke up and cursed his tongue for being so loose. 'This is awkward.' he felt.
"What did you say?" Meng Xin asked with evident anger in her calm tone.
"*Cough*, Meng Xin, you are always calm. So, to let you experience other emotions I just said that. Haha." Sheng Tian gave a lame excuse as he laughed lightly.
But Meng Xin couldn't laugh because what he said just now felt really....natural and correct. Like how he would always say. But why 'always'? She also recalled how she felt when talking to him and her subconscious and conscious thoughts. Instantly, She felt bewildered about what is happening.
She had a strong feeling that whatever is happening definitely is linked with the 3-day sleep she experienced a while ago. Judging from Sheng Tian's actions and words, it seems like he too is feeling the same. It was all pointing to the possibility that they somehow knew each other very well and lived together. So, something must have happened between them. The question is did he know something she didn't?
Seeing her looking at him seriously, Sheng Tian thought that she was still angry, so to divert the topic, he answered her earlier question " I just happened to move to the south after passing by Soaring Cloud City. Honestly, I had no idea that I would travel south. And I didn't have any means to contact you. So, it's not like you can blame me for that." he shrugged.
Meng Xin listened to his explanation finding it plausible but her focus was on something else. She asked in a soft voice like cotton " Sheng Tian, Did we live together before?"
"What?" Sheng Tian shouted out loud, his voice covering the entire room and out, as he was utterly shocked by her question.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Sheng Tian slowly opened his eyes as the morning rays of the sun fell on his eyes. He stretched his body and got up. Xiao Lian was sitting cross-legged in the lotus, probably meditating.
The banquet would be in the evening. There will be guests from the noble families, basically, all the top dogs of the Qin Capital would attend it.
Sheng Tian wanted to skip it but was thinking of a good excuse. He washed up and ordered his breakfast enough for 6 six people.

His lips were slightly arched upwards showing a faint smile which had a tinge of playfulness.Meng Xin was stunned and felt her whole vision completely focusing on his face and eyes. His eyes were like deep abysses sinking all her attention while that smile was like a dangerous thief to steal the hearts of countless maidens.Meng Xin hurriedly looked away from him. Only after a little while did she turn again. It was not just his face which was under disguise, even his body was too. She was too captivated by his face that she failed to notice it. Previously in his disguise, his golden blue clothes looked like show off from a young master. But now with his true face and body revealed, they felt a little low grade for him.Meng Xin herself didn't notice these subconscious thoughts. She calmed herself and looked at him with a hint of caution now. She asked carefully "Are you really Sheng Tian?"Not her, no one who saw him before would recognize him if they saw the current Sheng Tian. The difference is farther than between Heaven and Earth! No wonder Meng Xin asked such question.Sheng Tian laughed lightly and quoted " 'I never recognize a person wrongly' was what you told me a moment ago, right?"But Meng Xin was not convinced, she stared at him as her gaze turned cold and a huge pressure fell on him as she said in her still calm voice which contained anger, worry, and self-blame "What did you do to him? Who are you? Did you take over his body?"Now it was Sheng Tian's turned to be stunned. He felt that the conversation was going somewhere it shouldn't. Wasn't this girl's imagination a bit too high? Why doesn't anyone believe the truth?He made a face with light sadness and said " Then tell me how I should prove that I am myself. Got any ideas?"Meng Xin was a bit taken back seeing his attitude which didn't contain a tad of worry. She decided to talk things out before anything is confirmed.But before she could talk, Sheng Tian spoke "Actually, I have an idea. See if this proves anything. You are Meng Xin, my fiancee. I got to see you for the first time 3 months ago. You are wearing snow-white robes. You didn't have a veil at that time. Accompanying you was your Martial Uncle who was pretty rude towards me, he also warned me to stay away from you. What was that? Oh yeah,...' You won't know how you died.'And you, you told me that I can marry you if I defeat you fair and square. Oh, and your boobs seemed to be bigger now. This is enough to prove that I am Sheng Tian, your fiancee right?"Meng Xin was stupified as he told her the events and conversations of that day. There was no one else there, that means he must be...But how dare he speak such words about her? Isn't it decent manners to respect her when speaking.She looked at him angrily as her eyes showed clear anger. If it was someone else, they might have already gotten beaten up. But this guy is her fiancee, she had...to give some face and not bully him. But that wouldn't mean she would allow him to speak like that. She said angrily "How can you speak such words to a lady? Apologize now."Sheng Tian looked at her smilingly. He said calmly " I am your fiancee and not an outsider. And I just spoke about the growth of your body. As your fiancee, I have full responsibilities to make sure that you 'grow' healthily everywhere. How can you say that I was rude when all I have are good intentions?" at last, he even made a face like an honest man who was wronged.Meng Xin just wanted to punch him for twisting the facts and hiding intentions. But she is still a calm person and yes, the person who spoke is her fiancee. If it was someone else, even with this explanation, they would be in serious trouble. She calmed her self slowly. She was not here for a fight. She will let him off this once. She told herself.Sheng Tian nodded lightly and said "I get that you got what I was getting at. Well then, I am curious. How did you know it was me?"Meng Xin got over her shocks already and replied with a question "How did you manage to disguise that I can't see through?"'This girl likes to be in control, eh..' Sheng Tian thought and said nonchalantly "I asked first."Meng Xin was a bit silent before she replied "It is one of the abilities of my Cultivation Technique. I can sense a person by their heart."Sheng Tian clicked his tongue in amazement. This is definitely an OP ability. No one can disguise from her. Then doesn't it mean devils also can't disguise themselves from her? It's pretty amazing.He almost wanted to ask what is this cultivation technique but stopped himself as it is a personal matter. And they were not close to share such things. He gave his answer "Well about my disguise, it is a profound art. That's all I can say."Meng Xin nodded and asked the important question "What happened to you in the past three months? I sent someone to search for you in all the cities and towns nearby the sect to take care of you. But you are nowhere to be found. At first, I thought you were not found yet, but after a month I began to worry. I would have gone to search there myself after my training this time If I didn't find you."Her grumbling didn't make him annoyed but he felt like he returned to the days in the dream world when she used to grumble when he was late for dinner due to work. The same expression, the same tone, the same choice of words, everything about her is still the same. She is just younger by a few years. He felt at home. A small smile surfaced on his mouth from pure joy.Meng Xin who was speaking caught his smile. She felt that this situation is so familiar. Her complaining about his behavior and him smiling in response. Even with her calm personality, she couldn't bear it and said blamingly: "Why are you always smiling when I speak?"Sheng Tian replied unconsciously still being in a daze like he always did "I'm just smiling looking at my beautiful wife's grumblings."Caught off guard with the word "wife", Meng Xin looked at him shocked. At the same time,Sheng Tian also woke up and cursed his tongue for being so loose. 'This is awkward.' he felt."What did you say?" Meng Xin asked with evident anger in her calm tone."*Cough*, Meng Xin, you are always calm. So, to let you experience other emotions I just said that. Haha." Sheng Tian gave a lame excuse as he laughed lightly.But Meng Xin couldn't laugh because what he said just now felt really....natural and correct. Like how he would always say. But why 'always'? She also recalled how she felt when talking to him and her subconscious and conscious thoughts. Instantly, She felt bewildered about what is happening.She had a strong feeling that whatever is happening definitely is linked with the 3-day sleep she experienced a while ago. Judging from Sheng Tian's actions and words, it seems like he too is feeling the same. It was all pointing to the possibility that they somehow knew each other very well and lived together. So, something must have happened between them. The question is did he know something she didn't?Seeing her looking at him seriously, Sheng Tian thought that she was still angry, so to divert the topic, he answered her earlier question " I just happened to move to the south after passing by Soaring Cloud City. Honestly, I had no idea that I would travel south. And I didn't have any means to contact you. So, it's not like you can blame me for that." he shrugged.Meng Xin listened to his explanation finding it plausible but her focus was on something else. She asked in a soft voice like cotton " Sheng Tian, Did we live together before?""What?" Sheng Tian shouted out loud, his voice covering the entire room and out, as he was utterly shocked by her question.
