In the past, he always detested contact with other won, feeling as if they were terrifying creatures, untouchable.
This ti, however, it seed a bit different, as if... he even liked it a little.
No! He liked it a lot!
It took quite a while for Shen Tianxing’s emotions to settle down.
She let go of Dugu Zixi and looked deeply into his eyes, asking sowhat sadly, "Master, do you really not rember at all?"
"What do you an? I seem to be having trouble understanding."
Dugu Zixi’s eyes were incredibly clear; when he looked at Shen Tianxing, she could see her own reflection in his eyes.
Shen Tianxing knew he wasn’t lying; it seed that he really hadn’t carried his mories over when he was reincarnated. Why had the master beco like this? How should she tell her master about their past life?
Shen Tianxing thought for a mont, then asked him, "Master, what is your identity now? How old are you?"
Dugu Zixi replied softly, "My na is Dugu Zixi, I’m from the Capital City, and I’m over 17 years old. My 18th birthday is in a month. I suffer from a terminal illness, and the doctors have said that I won’t live past 18. So, just now when I saw you, I thought I had died, and the heavens had sent you, a little fairy, to fetch ."
Shen Tianxing spoke hastily, "You’re not dead, you’re still very much alive. With here, I absolutely won’t let you die. I have a way to cure your terminal illness."
Dugu Zixi smiled gently, "Thank you. This disease has plagued for more than ten years. My family has sought many doctors, I’ve seen famous ones from both ho and abroad, taken all kinds of dicines... but still, to no avail."
Hearing his soft sigh, Shen Tianxing’s heart ached, and she grasped his hand tightly, saying, "Master, I understand how you feel, having suffered from illness for many years, but I want to tell you that those doctors you t before, they were just ordinary doctors. I, on the other hand, am a disciple personally trained by you. To be honest, any illness in this mundane world can be cured by , if I so wish."
Shen Tianxing looked at Dugu Zixi smiling silently and suddenly felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest, an indescribable pain.
Her forr master was so powerful, so proud, his fa resounded, worshiped by all fairies, dominating the Fairy Realm, with no one daring to oppose the master.
Yet the him of now seed not to dare believe that she could cure his disease when she said she could.
Shen Tianxing didn’t argue further; instead, she decided to prove the truth of her words with actions.
She had Dugu Zixi lie back down on the bed and said with a smile, "Master, I’m going to start treating you with dicine and acupuncture now. Will you believe ?"
Dugu Zixi smiled faintly and said without hesitation, "I believe you."
Although it was his first ti seeing this little fairy, he felt an odd sense of familiarity with her, as if they were supposed to be close just like now.
And his current surroundings, while he had never been here before, seed oddly familiar, as if he had lived here for a lifeti, everything here stirred a naless sense of recognition for him.
What exactly was going on?
Dugu Zixi suddenly called out to Shen Tianxing, "Wait, may I ask, what is your na? Who are you? Why do you call master? Can you tell everything you know? So I’m not left in the dark like a fool, not knowing anything."
Shen Tianxing’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at him with a smile, "Do you really want to know?"
Dugu Zixi nodded, "Yes!"
Shen Tianxing said again, "If I said it’s like a myth, would you believe ?"
Dugu Zixi nodded again, "I believe!"
Shen Tianxing teased him deliberately, "Why do you trust so much? What if I were to deceive you or to harm you? What would you do?"
Dugu Zixi smiled calmly, "You won’t!"
Shen Tianxing felt overwheld with emotion inside, her master, even without the mories of his past life, still trusted her unconditionally, indulging her just like in their previous life.
Shen Tianxing sat on the edge of the bed and gently asked him, "Do you know where you are right now?"
Dugu Zixi honestly replied, "I don’t know."
Shen Tianxing asked him again, "Then do you know how you ca to be here?"
Dugu Zixi shook his head again, "Before, I felt like I was unconscious, I don’t know why, but when I woke up, I found myself here."
Shen Tianxing sighed softly, "What I’m about to tell you is all true. Although it may sound mythological, it is a reality that has happened. You must promise that everything you see and hear today, you won’t tell another soul."
Dugu Zixi smiled and raised his hand to promise, "I’ll listen to you, I definitely won’t speak of it."
"Okay, then I’ll start now. My na is Shen Tianxing. In my past life, my master always liked to call Little Xingxing..."
Through a narrative, Shen Tianxing explained their relationship to Dugu Zixi, starting from the mont he began to take care of her in the Fairy Realm, how he nurtured her, doted on her, and protected her with all his heart...
When she got to the part about boldly confessing her feelings to her master, Shen Tianxing’s face turned a shade of shy red, her expression tender and flirtatious, and so lovely that Dugu Zixi couldn’t take his eyes off her.
But when Shen Tianxing ntioned how her master rejected her confession and then ran off for half a year, her face turned somber again.
In the end, she spoke of how her body was burst by the power of the Eye of the Sky God, leading her to be reborn and reincarnate as the current Shen Tianxing.
Yet, she had never forgotten her master. She still dread of diligently cultivating, returning to the Fairy Realm, and reuniting with her master.
Having reached this point in her tale, Shen Tianxing gave a wry smile and said to Dugu Zixi, "But I never would have imagined that a mighty Fairy King like my master would descend and be reborn. Master, do you really not rember anything at all?"
Dugu Zixi smiled, "It’s all right if I don’t rember. I think it’s quite nice now. And stop calling master, just call Zixi from now on! If everything you said about our past lives is true, then in this life, I don’t want to be your master anymore. I want to... be your lover."
Shen Tianxing stared at him dumbfounded, scarcely able to believe his words.
The affection she had desperately sought but never obtained in her previous life—could it be that in this life, she had received it so effortlessly?
Shen Tianxing felt as though she was dreaming, hardly daring to believe this reality.
Shen Tianxing gazed intently at Dugu Zixi and cautiously asked, "Master, you’re not joking with , are you?"
Dugu Zixi chuckled softly, "I’m not joking with you; I’m serious. If it’s like you said, that in our previous life we missed our chance to be together, then in this life we have both been reborn as humans. Perhaps this is an opportunity granted by the heavens to start over. We should treasure this life. That is, unless... you despise for being frail."
