#2498 - Already in love

Jun Wuxie arrived at the residence of Hua Lian Yue and Gong Jiuqing within the Eight Nine Profound Palace, where they were tending to flowers and plants.

The two had already built a small courtyard here, with only a few bamboo houses, and the courtyard was filled with flowers and plants.

Next to the courtyard was a small stream, the water crystal clear, with pebbles visible at the bottom, and schools of fish swimming and feeding in the water.

"Ninth Sister, you've planted them too close together, it's not good for the flowers and plants to grow."

Hua Lian Yue's voice drifted on the breeze.

"No way, I think it's just right like this."

Gong Jiuqing was clearly unconvinced.

"I don't care about you anymore, look at those two pots of flowers and plants, they aren't growing as well."

Hua Lian Yue pointed to two flower pots beside her.

Actually, those two pots of flowers and plants of yours are growing quite well, they've already produced flower buds.

It's just that they are relatively inferior compared to the other pots of flowers and plants.

Gong Jiuqing heard this and covered her mouth with a giggle. With the facts before her eyes, she couldn't deny it.

However, she still didn't change her way of planting flowers and plants.

Seeing this, Hua Lian Yue poked her in the waist with her finger.

Gong Jiuqing's delicate body trembled, she let out a charming laugh, and immediately retaliated. The two of them began to play and frolic together, and the courtyard was filled with heavenly laughter.

The two chased each other, and inadvertently saw the figure dozens of meters away from the courtyard.

Their footsteps suddenly faltered, and they both froze.

"Lord Jun!"

Hua Lian Yue and Gong Jiuqing, beautiful eyes simultaneously bursting with a brilliant light, patted the dirt off their hands and went out to greet him.

"Lian Yue, Jiuqing."

Jun Wuxie looked at the smiles on their faces and their light steps, clearly feeling their ease and comfort.

For a moment, he felt inexplicably moved and a little sad.

With their family backgrounds back then, as daughters of emperors, they were princesses of the Yu Emperor family, pampered and precious.

If there had been no darkness invasion, no doomsday torrent, their lives should have been incomparably happy.

But they were born in such an era.

From birth, they had been under the pressure of the imminent invasion of darkness, growing up in gloom, and never daring to relax, until they died in battle on the borderlands.

Perhaps they had never experienced such leisurely days in their lives.

"Lord Jun, what's wrong, you seem to be in a bad mood?"

Hua Lian Yue and Gong Jiuqing came to him, sensing that his mood seemed a little heavy, and his eyes were different from usual.

"It's nothing."

Jun Wuxie shook his head gently, opened his arms, and gently embraced them, "I just feel sorry for you.

Looking at how relaxed and comfortable you are, I can't help but think of your lives, how you never enjoyed such leisure in the past."

Hua Lian Yue and Gong Jiuqing trembled slightly when they heard this, and gently rested their heads on his shoulders, and said quietly: "We have indeed not lived an easy life.

Since we were young, we have heard our clansmen talk about dark creatures.

From the time we could remember, we knew that we were born in a bloody and cruel doomsday era, and had to abandon the joy of childhood, urging ourselves every day to become stronger as soon as possible.

After all, we were born in the Yu Emperor family, the descendants of emperors, and the responsibility on our shoulders was far heavier than that of other cultivators.

Every era has its own environment, and the creatures of every era have their own responsibilities and obligations.

Although our era was bloody and cruel, and our lives were somewhat difficult, it was nothing compared to Lord Jun…"

"It's different, this is my responsibility…"

Back then, he was mindful of old feelings and did not eradicate those tumors, which resulted in him being plotted against, and the heavens fell into terrible dark turmoil.

Even if the mastermind behind the scenes was watching covetously, even without the Ancestor of Darkness, the mastermind would not have let him go, and would have inevitably used other methods to achieve their goals.

But no matter what, back then, when he discovered that those people were insincere and had such cruel thoughts, he should have killed them all. Perhaps, for these heavens, the ending would have been slightly better.

"It's not Lord Jun's responsibility alone.

Lord Jun, you are just a member of the heavens, and everything you have given has far exceeded the responsibility you should have undertaken."

Hua Lian Yue and Gong Jiuqing did not know the truth. The secrets of the Beginningless Era, unless Jun Wuxie told them personally, it was impossible for them, who were born in the Immortal Ancient Era, to know.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things."

Jun Wuxie let go of them, smiled and walked towards the small courtyard, "Ever since I brought you out of the secret realm, I haven't had any free time to spare.

I finally have some free time recently, so I came in to catch up with you."

"Lord Jun, you are being too polite."

Inside the small courtyard, under the pomegranate tree, beside the table, Gong Jiuqing poured tea for Jun Wuxie, her tone gentle, but with a hint of other meaning.

Jun Wuxie couldn't help but be stunned, and smiled: "What do you mean by being polite?"

"Which husband says he's catching up with his wife…"

Gong Jiuqing's face was slightly red, but she bravely met his gaze, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Jun Wuxie was stunned for a moment, and didn't expect Gong Jiuqing to say this.

At this time, he found that even Hua Lian Yue was looking at him like this, seeming to agree with Gong Jiuqing's words.

"Jiuqing, Lian Yue, you…"

Jun Wuxie paused slightly, organized his words, and said: "We have only met once after all, although we hit it off at first sight, we can also say that we are just passing acquaintances.

I really didn't expect that you would have completely taken on the role of wife just because you saw a corner of the future…"

Hearing this, Gong Jiuqing and Hua Lian Yue's eyes trembled slightly, they lowered their hands slightly, and said quietly: "Does Lord Jun dislike us for saying that?"

"How could I? That's not what I meant, please don't misunderstand.

What I mean is, I didn't expect that you have adapted to our relationship without any psychological barriers, so if I say things too intimately, I might offend you."

"So that's what Lord Jun meant."

Gong Jiuqing smiled lightly, her expression slightly shy, but her words were very bold, "You have the right to offend us, after all, you are the husband of me and Lian Yue sister."

"Ninth Sister, what you're saying…"

Hua Lian Yue's face turned red, and she didn't expect Gong Jiuqing to say this.

"Isn't it?"

Gong Jiuqing looked at Hua Lian Yue, her eyes meaningful, "The reason why you are temporarily unwilling to merge with your reincarnated self is because you want to…"

Before Gong Jiuqing could finish speaking, Hua Lian Yue covered her mouth with her hand, her face flushed with anger, "Ninth Sister, if you continue like this, I will be angry!"

Jun Wuxie listened to them speaking in riddles here, and couldn't help but be more curious.

What is the reason why Lian Yue doesn't want to merge?

She seems very afraid of Jiuqing saying it in front of him.

"Alright, I won't say it then, won't you let go of me yet?"

Gong Jiuqing helplessly took away Hua Lian Yue's hand covering her mouth, and complained: "You just planted flowers and plants, and you still have mud on your hands."

"No way, it's all been purified by magic, okay?"

Gong Jiuqing pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't continue this topic.

"Lord Jun, you don't know, but actually we…" Gong Jiuqing's cheeks were slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "We have long admired you…"

"Ah?"

Jun Wuxie looked at them in surprise.

At this time, Hua Lian Yue continued Gong Jiuqing's words, "Lord Jun thought we only met once back then, but that's not the case.

We have seen you many times…"

There was a look of reminiscence in their eyes, their gazes gradually blurred, and the scenes of that year appeared in their minds, that stalwart figure, the invincible figure sweeping across the borderlands…

"Seen me many times?"

Jun Wuxie pondered their words, thought of the blood he gave them back then, and suddenly understood.

"Could it be that you are referring to seeing me on the dark battlefield of the borderlands?"

"Yes, you have appeared more than once on the borderland battlefield of our era.

As long as someone has obtained your blood, you will appear when they die in battle.

It was because of your arrival that we were given the hope of reincarnation.

It's just that every time, we can only say a few words to you from afar, and can't get close to you.

You told us that it was the power of karma, so we couldn't catch up with you, otherwise it would affect the reincarnated self of the future era, causing serious consequences."

"So that's how it is. I traveled through time and space back to the borderland battlefield of the Immortal Ancient Era to give you the hope of reincarnation, so I naturally couldn't have too much contact with you.

For that time, after all, you have already lived a second life.

Any change in the trajectory of the past you in that era may have an impact on you in this era.

If it's serious, it may make you in this era disappear out of thin air, so that there will be no trace of you in this era."

"Yes, we understand the relationship between the past, future, past life, and present life."

"So, the reason why Lian Yue is temporarily unwilling to merge with you in this era is because…"

"It's because we want to be husband and wife with Lord Jun in this pure life, only with past memories, without future memories…"

If this is considered an obsession, perhaps this is the obsession in our hearts.

When they fell that year, they left with regret at the moment of death.

At that time, they thought, is it impossible for them to be with the man they admire in their hearts after all?

He is in the future, and they are about to die.

Even if they are really reincarnated in the future, will they still be able to meet him, will they still have the memories of this life…

"It's a pity that we are not true flesh and blood after all, and cannot give Lord Jun a complete self…"

Gong Jiuqing no longer had a smile on her face, and her expression was somewhat sad.

"These are not important, you don't have to be sad because of this."

Jun Wuxie embraced them, "Actually, both past and present lives are the same.

The only difference is that you've gained an extra life experience."

...

Next, Jun Wuxie set up a double time array around the small courtyard.

Gong Jiuqing and Hua Lian Yue wanted to be his wife purely as this lifetime's selves; how could he not fulfill their wishes?

He believed that after they merged with their reincarnated selves in the future, this experience would become the most beautiful memory in their lives.
