Chapter 471: Chapter 471: Frankness (2)_1

"Flower fragrance!" Dugu Qianye smelled a burst of floral scent, stopped, opened her eyes, and found herself in her own world, with vibrant flowers under her feet stretching all the way to the distant forest.

There used to be trees and grass here, but no flowers until now. Surprisingly, there were flowers this time, and she even saw bees among the blooms!

Dugu Qianye squatted down, picked a small flower, and sniffed it, feeling a burst of joy. The scent was real, an actual presence! Then this world must be real!

"Did I create you, or did she create you?" Dugu Qianye asked.

Unable to find an answer, Dugu Qianye closed her eyes and wandered through the flower beds, basking in the prosperous feeling of the place. Unaware, she sensed that the environment had changed around her.

"The Fire Attribute Domain has changed!" Dugu Qianye opened her eyes to see the environment had changed again, and at a glance, she could tell that the Fire Attribute Domain had become different—more substantial than before, of a higher level, and the flames burned more intensely!

Dugu Qianye thought it might be related to the acknowledgment of the Spiritual Pearl, her domain was much stronger than those of other Spiritual Masters of the same level, and she had more than one attribute domain!

"Do I have to keep switching domains when I fight?!" pondered Dugu Qianye. "Can I overlay multiple domains on top of each other?"

Dugu Qianye wanted to try but then realized she was in a state of spiritual power; she would have to wait until she had a body to attempt this. With that thought, her consciousness returned to her body, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Zi Xiao and Mang Qianjun looking at her.

"You’re awake," said Zi Xiao.

"You..." Mang Qianjun looked at Dugu Qianye with excitement, wanting to say something, but in the end, it only turned into a single word.

Dugu Qianye saw the expressions on their faces, and her heart sank slightly. She took Xiaohuo and the others back into the Refining Demon Pot and said in a hoarse voice, "You all know?"

The moment the Fire Spirit Pearl acknowledged her as its master, the sensation she emitted was undeniable, something the others might not understand, but these two surely did!

Mang Qianjun approached her and asked, "Are you really her?"

Dugu Qianye took out all her Spiritual Pearls and then silently looked at them, the meaning clear without words.

"So you knew you could surely tame the Fire Spirit Pearl," Zi Xiao said. "When did you find out?"

Mang Qianjun also looked at Dugu Qianye anxiously.

Dugu Qianye looked at Zi Xiao and, feeling his gaze filled with ambiguity for the first time, fell silent for a while before saying, "It was last time in the Phoenix Tree Forest. Xiaohuo evolved into the Vermilion Bird, and she, Fu Shang, and Dandan told me. They had just informed me when Mu Lin arrived with his people."

"Did you know at that time that you were her reincarnation?" Mang Qianjun asked. "Do you remember us?"

Dugu Qianye’s heart not only sank further but her expression also cooled as she said to Mang Qianjun, "I am me, not her! I don’t possess her abilities now, and I don’t have her memories. Whatever happened between her and you has nothing to do with me, so please don’t treat me as her. I am tired. You should leave now. No need to see you out!"

She was herself, not willing to be anyone else!

Mang Qianjun wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Dugu Qianye, who said, "Dream King, Venerable, please."

Mang Qianjun left reluctantly, but Zi Xiao stood there, unmoving. Dugu Qianye turned her head to the side and said, "Don’t ask me if I remember you. I don’t remember anyone now! If you’re looking for her, I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you!"

Zi Xiao looked at her awkward yet somewhat injured expression, came to the bedside, stretched out his hand to caress her face, and said, "I was just, the shock was too great just now. I never thought it would be you!"

"Now you know," Dugu Qianye suddenly felt a bit of soreness in her eyes and a touch of grievance in her heart. Their reactions just now, especially his look of disbelief, really hurt her. Perhaps he had always been hoping for the return of the Creator God! The thousands upon thousands of years they had spent together, how could her own affections compare?

Zi Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I know. So..."

Zi Xiao stopped speaking, and the tears in Dugu Qianye’s eyes suddenly fell, sliding into the palm of his hand.

Even though she had sustained such serious injuries before, she hadn’t uttered a sound or shed a tear, yet a single look, a single word from him, made her heart throb with pain!

Feeling the wetness in his palm, Zi Xiao sat beside her, turned her face to look at him, and said, "I’ve never wished for you to become her again, I was just thinking that the person I’ve always respected has become the woman I love, and I was a little slow to react."

Dugu Qianye remained silent, Zi Xiao cupped her face, kissed her eyes, and dried the tears at the corners with a kiss, saying, "No matter who you are, the person I love is you, the you of now! It’s my fault for making you cry. Can you forgive my obtuseness?

"What if I don’t forgive you?" Dugu Qianye said in a muffled voice.

"If you don’t forgive me, then this way, until you do," Zi Xiao said, lifting her chin with his right hand and leaning down for a kiss.

"Mmm." Lightheaded and dizzy from Zi Xiao’s kiss, Dugu Qianye uttered an ambiguous sound.

After a long kiss, Zi Xiao left her lips and asked, "Have you forgiven me now?"

"I haven’t," Dugu Qianye retorted. How could he do such a thing?!

"Oh? Then I must have not kissed hard enough. Let’s continue," Zi Xiao said and leaned in for another kiss.

Dugu Qianye turned her head aside and said, "Alright, I’ve forgiven you!"

"Really?" Zi Xiao asked.

Dugu Qianye nodded, and Zi Xiao kissed her again. After a while, when he let go, Dugu Qianye complained, "I’ve already said I’ve forgiven you, you cheater!"

Zi Xiao traced her lip line with his tongue, then said, "That’s a reward!"

Mang Qianjun had not really left; he leaned against the wall outside the room, gazing at the sky, hearing the noises inside, his eyes filled with inexpressible pain. It was just like a million years ago, the love that had never been voiced.

A few days later, Dugu Qianye’s feet had also fully recovered. After the bandages were removed, her delicate and jade-like feet were revealed.

"Look how beautiful your feet are?! It’s unimaginable how you could bear to turn them into a pair of white bones," Nian Hua said to Dugu Qianye, complaining on behalf of her feet.

"It’s just a shell," Dugu Qianye said.

"You, a young lady, should still take good care of yourself! Thankfully, you met me. If it had been someone else treating you, they certainly would have left scars all over you, and you would cry then," Nian Hua scolded Dugu Qianye.

"Haven’t I met you now? So, there’s no need to think about that hypothetical," Dugu Qianye said as she stood up from the bed and walked around the room, adding, "It’s only when I’m stepping on the ground that I feel grounded!"
