Xie Feng and Mu Wuying stayed in bed cuddling and caressing each other. Both of them enjoyed the moment as if they were a newlywed couple enjoying their honeymoon... No, even more than that.
This was because both, he and she, knew that when the door of this room opened and they took a step out of this place, it could be months before a second chance to be alone would present itself again.
In fact, if not for the chaos caused by the Abyssal Dragon where the humanity of Adastreia Continent was threatened and if not for the mindless arrogance of the Human Emperor Xuan Liuxian, it was extremely improbable that Xie Feng and Mu Wuying would have been able to enjoy a moment of complete intimacy.
As she rested her head on his firm chest, her silky hair as black as night and without small strands of silver dye as in the real world was just inches away from him, allowing him to smell her sweet vanilla scent.
"Wuying..." He seemed to want to ask something but hesitated, pausing at first and gently caressing her arm up and down as he hugged her tenderly.
"Mm?" She had her eyes closed, enjoying the moment to the fullest. Closing her sense of sight, she could feel his fingers brushing against her skin and his palm resting on her body more clearly.
"Don't you think it's about time you came back to my side?" Xie Feng sighed and looked up at the giant crystal mirror, seeing the two of them in such a sweet position. The view couldn't help but make his nose sting a little and he had to force himself to hold back the few tears that threatened to fall from his eyes.
Shen Xinya had been his first love during childhood, but Mu Wuying had been his first love upon reaching adulthood and she had also been his first woman. With her, he experienced everything a man experiences with a woman, and with her, he also experienced for the second time how painful separations can be.
Xie Feng had buried that pain deep in his heart along with his feelings for her. Even when they occasionally crossed paths he would nod with a smile and avoid contact as much as possible so as not to awaken those feelings that lay dormant in his being. However, with her past confession of her lingering love for him, Xie Feng finally could not contain himself and his feelings.
Fortunately, Xie Yao seemed to have changed for some strange reason, or else he would not know what to do in a situation where his heart was torn between two women or possibly more.
Xie Feng never considered himself a fickle man in any way. However, since he started playing Samsara Online his whole life was turned upside down and his destiny changed 100%.
His personality began to undergo subtle but noticeable changes at the same time, his once average appearance had become majestic, the aura surrounding him became more and more noble similar to that of an absolute ruler, and women with whom he had a complicated past or unknown connections began to appear one after another.
Hearing Xie Feng's words, Mu Wuying's beautiful sky blue eyes slowly opened. She stood silently for several seconds looking at the rays of sunlight tinged red through her long eyelashes before slowly saying, "Can you tell me about what you remembered about your family during Shen Xinya's concert in Shanghai?"
"... Alright. Although I think you'll find what I'm about to tell you crazy, I guess if I want you to open that little mouth of yours I'll have to speak first myself." Xie Feng nodded after hesitating for a moment and shook his head not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This woman really was like a silent tomb.....
Slowly, Xie Feng began to narrate everything he saw in that strange scene when he heard the lyrics of the song 'Love of God' sung by Shen Xinya. He did not hide anything from Mu Wuying as he completely trusted the woman in his embrace and as crazy as it sounded, it was the truth of what he had seen.
From the strange world with buildings that obviously did not belong to Earth or, at the very least, did not belong to this era, the strange clothes worn by the people of that place similar to what the immortals in novels and paintings wore, the strange capabilities and auras of power that surrounded every existence each time they fought, etc. He told her everything in detail and without skipping a beat.
However, all that was secondary. Xie Feng focused more on what he felt when he saw from the point of view of a young boy a beautiful married woman showering him with her love and looking at him with tender eyes as if he was the most precious thing in her life.
The feeling and warmth his heart felt seemed to fill his soul in its entirety every time that woman hugged him and spoke loving words to him. Although he clearly did not remember seeing that woman he saw in those strange scenes from the little boy's point of view, Xie Feng felt his heart jumping fiercely as if it was shouting at him that she was important, that he should not forget her...
As for the little boy's little sister... When that little girl was born, Xie Feng felt his whole world light up. The heavenly feeling was as if the sun had finally risen after eons of darkness and storm.
Mu Wuying listened to everything silently and did not express any opinion about it. She continued with her head resting on his chest, feeling his heartbeat quicken every time that woman and girl were mentioned, he was obviously excited and couldn't help but let his emotions get a little out of control.
"Sounds like a fantasy world, doesn't it?" Xie Feng smiled bitterly as he caressed her hair tenderly. He said with conviction, "Even for me it's hard to accept what I saw... But I'm sure that woman and that little girl were my family... My real family, my mom and my little sister... My heart and soul, the emotion I feel every time I think of their faces can't be wrong."
"Indeed. If it weren't because it's you, I'd think you're crazy." Mu Wuying sighed softly before continuing, "But... I guess it's only natural, after all my Feng is too perfect to be someone from this world."
Xie Feng couldn't help but chuckle lightly at her comment.
If it was in the past it would be difficult for Mu Wuying to accept what he had told her. However, not too long ago the avatar of a true god manifested in outer space and was even fought by Xie Feng... Then there was also the mysterious Han Xue Nai, who with her small and delicate white fist could destroy stars thousands and millions of light years away.
Since true gods exist then why couldn't immortals exist? Higher worlds, higher realms... Endless possibilities! Although the very thought of it excited her, the truth was that all of Mu Wuying's attention was focused on something else.
"Now do you understand why I haven't told you the reason why I parted ways with you until now?" She smiled bitterly and turned to look him in the eyes, "Just naming the woman who could be your mother and the girl who could be your little sister makes your heart seem like it's about to explode... So, if by mistake I were to say that I know who your parents are, wouldn't I be giving you hope and then cruelly killing them? That's why I haven't said anything to you, Feng... I don't want to give you cruel illusions that will tear your heart out."
Xie Feng listened quietly while looking into her eyes, not interrupting her and understanding her.
"I wanted to make sure I'm not wrong before returning to your side. To hug you once again, feel your kisses, tell you how much I love you, how much I missed you, and give you the happy news that your real family actually lives and that possibly they didn't abandon you, but that it was all just a dirty hand of destiny." Mu Wuying leaned closer and kissed him gently before continuing, "But my feelings for you got out of control.... And I couldn't help but come closer, wanting to see you and talk to you, wanting to know how you were and if you still remembered me."
