Chapters 10. Stories of the Past.
Xiang Tianzhi sat down while thinking about the words of his mother who had now become a lover. He thought about how to cope with their current situation from the pursuit of Empress Yin.
"What level do you think he'll be sent here?" ask Xiang Tianzhi.
"If my guess is correct ... Nascent Soul level, maybe 2 people will come. They were unlikely to bring in many people with the treacherous and impassable terrain of the Bamboo Hill Forest when on land!" xue Mei replied in an anxious tone, while still cooking.
Indeed, the terrain of the Bamboo Hill Forest was very difficult to pass, let alone the many ferocious beasts that were a hindrance, therefore Xue Mei estimated that it was as Nascent Soul-level as it would be sent, as it was capable of flight.
"Actually I have a secret place ... But, you tell me honestly, are you my real mother or not?" xiang Tianzhi asked which surprised Xue Mei, so he stopped cooking.
"Well! Since you already have the power to take care of yourself, then I will say honestly. Actually I hope that you can't cultivate anymore, so that you don't take revenge. Unfortunately, nature wills another ...!" sigh Xue Mei who could not hide any more secrets to Xiang Tianzhi, moreover they were already like husband and wife.
Xue Mei told me from the beginning that she was a concubine before Xiang Tianzhi's presence...
****
19 Years ago, it all started when Xue Mei was 16 and she was 35. At that time Xue Mei was one of the students of the Xiang Kingdom academy, she excelled at such an age already at the level of the third stage Foundation Establishment.
Because of his achievements and talent, King Xiang saw Xue Mei enter the seven-yearly competition and was interested in Xue Mei. Then, King Xiang asked Xue Mei to be a Concubine to both Xue Mei's parents, they were obviously excited and without asking for Xue Mei's opinion, both of her parents instantly granted King Xiang's wishes.
Initially Xue Mei was unwilling and always avoided becoming a Concubine, as King Xiang threatened to imprison the entire Xue family, inevitably Xue Mei was forced to follow King Xiang's will. After Xue Mei had been carried towards the Xiang Imperial Palace, Xue Mei had only served twice without any love in the heart, and the entire Xiang extended family wished that Xue Mei could get pregnant immediately.
However, after waiting for a month, Xue Mei was not two-bodied, making the Xiang Royal family vexed by wanting a child from a talented woman. Due to the pressure every day, King Xiang was forced to have sex again with Xue Mei, and it was only once, the goal was clear, so that Xue Mei could get pregnant soon.
Xue Mei who was getting pressure from various parties including her family, finally pretended to be pregnant by slipping objects on her stomach to look two-bodied.
During those eight months, Xue Mei had always been depressed, making her thin and unkempt, let alone the time of childbirth would arrive. In a time of turmoil, worry and fear of hanging, for having deceived the Royal family, Xue Mei ran away and intended to commit suicide.
Lucky when he was about to plunge into the abyss, he was stopped by someone. The person is also a pregnant woman who is about to give birth. Seeing if the one who was going to kill himself was Consort Mei, the woman would hand the child in the womb to be cared for by Xue Mei without explaining who she was. Then, the woman took Xue Mei to a place close to the capital of Xiang Kingdom.
"You don't need to know who I am. But obviously, take care of my son like your own son!" said the woman whose beauty exceeded anyone in Dongyun Continent, when they were already in a simple house.
"Tap-"
"There's no buts! If you want to live, take care of my son and think like your own. Besides, you don't worry about King Xiang and Empress Yin, I'll handle them to the extent of just convincing, if the child in my womb is your child!" cut the woman down as Xue Mei was about to speak.
Obtaining the assurance from the woman, Xue Mei happily accepted the child from the woman. Xue Mei also believed, if the woman was not an indiscriminate person, visible from her clothes was not the usual clothes worn by nobles in the Dongyun Continent, let alone her face was very beautiful like a carving of a masterpiece of the universe.
"I just asked to give him his last name Tianzhi, and use the first name of the Xiang family anyway. Moreover, give this necklace to her when she has grown up ...," said the woman who asked Xue Mei to use Tianzhi's last name, and by giving the white and black Yin Yang shaped necklace to Xue Mei. Xue Mei did not understand the meaning of the name for her child candidate. Xue Mei simply nodded, and did not want to ask many questions, as she believed the woman had an important secret.
"You lie down now, I'll move my contents into your stomach!" ask the woman to Xue Mei.
Xue Mei gawked at the woman's words, because she had never heard of someone being able to move a fetus into someone else's stomach, and this was only the first time she had heard.
"Quickly, lie down immediately, it won't hurt you!" push the woman.
Soon Xue Mei did as the woman ordered. However, the woman suddenly smacked Xue Mei's forehead into a faintness. By the time Xue Mei woke up, she had not seen the woman again, there was only a bamboo scroll beside her head. Then, Xue Mei felt her stomach full and remembered the words of the woman who moved the fetus into her stomach.
Xue read the scroll.
("I've spoken to the Xiang family, so you no longer need to worry and fear them, and when you wake up, they will pick you up. I'm just asking, use Tianzhi's last name. Raise my son like your own son, protect him with your life, Zhi.")
Finally Xue Mei found out the name of the woman who was named Zhi, whether it was real or not, or just the initials, which was definitely Xue Mei was very grateful with that woman. After the scroll was read, the bamboo scroll burned without leaving a trace.
Finally the woman's remark was correct, after Xue Mei woke up, the door of the house opened and she saw King Xiang and his two parents panicking. It turned out that Xue Mei had fainted for 3 days and made all of Xiang Kingdom look for her. Long story short, Xue Mei was brought back home by King Xiang.
The birth of Xiang Tianzhi also triggered a phenomenon, where before Xiang Tianzhi was born a rainbow appeared for a day, which ended up in the sky and ended up in Xue Mei's private room. And strangely enough, many mythological beasts came out of the rainbow door and walked over the rainbow, the mythological beast stopped in Xue Mei's room to pay homage to the baby in its impending womb.
The incident was obviously frightening, but there were also those who did not, instead interpreting if it was phenomenal that the fetal mark on the belly of Xue Mei was a Heavenly choice.
Those who feared the obvious from the neighboring Kingdom, felt that in the future the descendants of King Xiang would be a scourge for many powers in the Dongyun Continent.
Long story short, after Xue Mei gave birth and gave her son by the name of Xiang (wangi) Tianzhi (son of heaven), King Xiang gained a lot of luck, and the, one example found a tomb containing many rare and valuable treasures, found a gold mine inside the cave and many more, so that the status of his wealth made the envy and worry of the neighboring Kingdom.
Xiang Tianzhi and Consort Mei became the favorite sons of King Xiang and envy the Empresses, Wives and Consorts. Xiang Tianzhi grew up with extraordinary talent and made King Xiang proud.
Being too spoiled by King Xiang and his extended family, making Xiang Tianzhi have a bad nature, mischief beyond reason, even often sleeping with King Xiang's wife and concubine secretly, and even with his wife, making a mess in Xiang Kingdom wherever he is and so on.
This opportunity was used by Empress Yin and her son to trap Xiang Tianzhi and Consort Mei ... However, behind it was something bigger that King Xiang hated Xiang Tianzhi and Consort Mei so much, even after Xiang Tianzhi was about to die, King Xiang did not care at all.
Xue Mei herself did not know the reason to make Xiang Tianzhi and herself hated by King Xiang and his family ... Until they become fugitives...
*****
Xue Mei had settled all the truth by speaking truthfully to Xiang Tianzhi. Xue Mei shed tears as she spoke and Xiang Tianzhi immediately hugged her while thinking.
Many questions were asked about Xiang Tianzhi, about the woman named Zhi, who was none other than her biological mother. Then, why was he able to reincarnate in this body? What does the phenomenon of birth mean? Changes in the nature of King Xiang and the entire Xiang extended family to 180°? And why did Mu Bingyun also trap him? And there were still many questions for Xiang Tianzhi.
Xiang Tianzhi did not ask Xue Mei, because Xue Mei herself did not know. It was clear that Xiang Tianzhi was now happy that Xue Mei was not his real mother. In addition, Xiang Tianzhi became possessed with the purpose of life, which was to search for who his birth mother was, unlock the memories of his past, and still make calculations with the Xiang Kingdom.
"Thank you for telling me everything ... Right now, to my confusion, what should I call you? Mom, Honey or Auntie?"
Xiang Tianzhi purposely spoke so, so that the atmosphere of Xue Mei's day would no longer be sad and worried, worried if she was not recognized as a mother. Spontaneous Xue Mei smiled and pinched the chest of Xiang Tianzhi's field.
Rubbing a tear, Xue Mei looked at the face of Xiang Tianzhi who was pretending to grimace in pain and she laughed. The atmosphere was cheerful and full of laughter Xue Mei and Xiang Tianzhi.
"Call me 'May' (beautiful), I prefer that name!" xue Mei replied while putting a necklace around Xiang Tianzhi's neck.
"Okay May, my dear!" goda Xiang Tianzhi, and he regained the pinch from Xue Mei.
The two of them immediately ate dinner and fed each other like lovers. After being full, the two of them resumed the next round until morning and fell asleep with happy faces. All the burdens in Xue Mei's heart disappeared and changed the happiness she had never experienced.
But, this is just the beginning. Xiang Tianzhi's journey had only begun towards Eternity. Will they be happy forever? And what will they face in the future?
