*Husband!*
"Lifen?"
*Finally, you came!*
"What do you mean, Lifen?*
*I've been waiting for you for a long time, my husband."
"Where are you waiting for me, Lifen?"
*We are close yet so far.*
"Lifen! Tell me where you are now !"
*Find me.*
"Where should I look for you?"
*And pick me up.*
"Tell me, where are you now!"
"Lifen!"
"...."
Xia Tian finally woke up and shouted. "Lifen!"
"Hah... Hah..." Xia Tian panted heavily as soon as he woke up, and he inwardly muttered. 'Why do I feel like my dream is so real? Somehow I feel that Lifen is still alive, and she's waiting for me to pick her up.'
[Perhaps, you miss Madam Lifen too much, Master. That's why you had such a dream.]
'Sigh, it might be like that, Alice. Even if Lifen has been reincarnated, I don't know her current identity nor where to look for her because the universe is too vast. Moreover, I just restarted my cultivation.'
[If only we still have your old flying artifact, we can go to that old man's place. I'm sure that he knows Madam Lifen's reincarnation identity, and he also definitely knows her current location.]
Xia Tian sighed softly. 'Forget it. It all depends on fate; I don't know if Lifen and I are still destined to be together in this life.'
He turned his head to the side and was stunned to see Liu Ying, who was sleeping soundly beside him. Then he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. 'Looks like I've made her worry about me.'
[That's right, Master. She's been waiting for you since yesterday.]
Feeling her son's body warmth, Liu Ying snuggled closer to him. Soon she opened her eyes and looked up, and she was stunned to look at her son.
Xia Tian gently caressed her cheek, looked at Liu Ying with an affectionate smile, lowered his face, and directly kissed her lips.
[Haha! I didn't expect you to become a rogue now, Master!] Alice immediately burst out laughing when she saw Xia Tian kiss his mother.
Liu Ying's eyes widened, but somehow she couldn't resist his kiss. She immediately closed her eyes, hugged and kissed him back.
Getting a positive reaction, Xia Tian stuck his tongue in her mouth, Liu Ying was startled by that, and she was at a loss as to what to do next. Before long, she also stuck out her tongue; their tongues intertwined and continued to dance together in their mouths alternately.
They continued kissing for quite a while, and Xia Tian separated their kiss when he heard Liu Ying's rough breathing.
Liu Ying looked at him with hazy eyes, and Xia Tian gently asked her. "Do you believe me now?"
"En, I believe in you." Liu Ying replied with a nod. "It's really amazing! I never knew that a crippled spiritual root could be restored. Moreover, you only used five ingredients to restore it."
Xia Tian smiled contentedly at her answer, then he touched her forehead and shared his alchemy technique with her.
The technique that suddenly appeared in her mind startled Liu Ying, then she closed her eyes and read it for a while. After some time, she abruptly opened her eyes, looked at Xia Tian, and exclaimed in shock. "Immortal Grade - Ancient Alchemy Secret Technique! I've only read a Heaven Grade technique before, but you gave me Immortal Grade instead."
"With that technique, your alchemy abilities will greatly improve." Xia Tian was satisfied to see her shocked expression. Moreover, in the entire universe, only two people possessed the technique before, and Liu Ying was the third.
Liu Ying looked at her son bewildered; she was still not ready for his drastic change; then she sighed softly and asked with great curiosity. "Can you tell me your past identity, Tian'er?"
"As I told you before, my past name was Long Tian, and I've lived for thousands of years." Xia Tian then told her some things that he thought were important.
Liu Ying listened to him earnestly; she was amazed by his story. After witnessing him recovering his spiritual root and the technique he imparted, Liu Ying had no reason to doubt his words anymore. "If you are that strong, how can you die and be reincarnated as my son?"
Xia Tian smiled bitterly at her question, then he explained to her. "Back then, I had a wife, Liu Lifen. Unfortunately, she could never cultivate, and I used many pills and treasures to keep her young and prolong her life by a few years. In the end, she still died of old age, and I have tried to revive her again for hundreds of years; one day, I found an ancient forbidden art and used it to revive her. But alas, I can't go against fate's will; I failed to bring her back to life and died in the process."
"Lifen, she must have been happy back then to have a husband like you, Tian'er." Liu Yung said quietly as she snuggled into his arms again. Somehow, she felt jealous of Liu Lifen because she had a husband who loved her so much, and he was even willing to do anything to revive her, even though he ended up failing and dying.
Xia Tian hugged her and rubbed her back gently. "Anyway, don't tell the others just yet. Someday I'll be the one to tell them myself because they definitely won't be able to believe your story."
"En, I know, Tian'er." Liu Ying immediately agreed; she also realized that his story was unbelievable. If not because she had witnessed it herself, then she also would not have believed his story.
Then Xia Tian brought his face to her ear, and he whispered something to her. Liu Ying was stunned for a moment, then she blushed, but she didn't reply to him, and he did not speak further. Since it was still dawn, they finally went back to sleep, hugging each other.
