Cheng

Cheng didn't left Ning Shufen's side. They stayed at the cave for a very long time and yet Shufen was still asleep. But id didn't bother Cheng, he was calm and did his things in the cave without a sound. He expected this already. Shufen's body was tired and she lack sleep. He stood in the dark side where he can't be seen immediately, he don't want to be seen quickly when she woke up. Cheng closed his eyes.

'I felt like I betrayed you'

The woman was crying in her bed, in front of the man. She wasn't cheating nor she was flirting with someone else. It was just her emotions, and the fact that she was going to die soon. The woman stared at the man in front of her, his eyes was confused and was full of loneliness.

'Will you cry when I leave? Will you marry another woman? I don't want to leave you behind'

Her sobs we're getting louder and much more louder than the second. The man quickly knelt and hugged the woman tightly. He didn't know what happened to her and he could only hug and comfort her. He didn't ask and quietly caress her back, the action was warm and comfortable.

Cheng opened his eyes as he felt that Ning Shufen moved. She was now sitting and looking at the cave, it was the same cave that they entered.

Ning Shufen glanced at the fire beside her, it wasn't touching her skin so it was okay. The question was who made the fire? She can't feel any presence at all. Shufen didn't move an inch and let the warmness of the fire touch her skin. It wasn't hurting her skin and the heat of the fire was comfortable. Cheng was still staring at her, he didn't make a sound nor did he move. He stayed still and wait for her to see him.

It's now like she could feel his presence, he was still more powerful and much more experienced in the art of hiding. His mouth twitched because the little girl was still unaware that she wasn't the only human being inside the cave.

'Her mind may not be a child but She's still a naive kid' that's what he thought.

Even if you can't sense any presence at all a cultivator must not lower his guard because a lot of people died that way. Shufen was about to take her clothes off however Cheng immediately made a sound. He didn't want to see her body! He's a loyal man! He will only belong to her. The woman who died a long time ago.

"Must be tiring to do that kind of thing? Hm?"

Shufen immediately jump off and took a very far distance between the both of them. She didn't know that there was another person there besides her. He must be in a higher realm than her for her to not sense his presence at all. His face wasn't clear and she couldn't properly see his body to identify him. His voice was also much more deeper than ordinary man. A little bit husky and cold.

"Ah! Sorry, I changed my voice earlier"

The man took a step and Shufen took a step back. The man chuckled.

"What's there to be scared of? I won't bite"

Ning Shufen placed her spiritual energy to her feet in case he will do something funny, she can run. It's not like she can fight him. It was clear that she's in the disadvantage. She wanted to see his face but the fire's light wasn't enough. Shufen was annoyed by the man, he was laughing while she was nervous for her life. She wasn't powerful at all, alright? Even though she was reincarnated, she can still feel fear for her life when she meet a powerful person.

Shufen bit her lip. Cheng could feel her emotions and it was interesting for him. Who would thought that this girl could still feel those emotions? He laughed really hard, he was holding his stomach as he took a step forward. Shufen didn't expect that the powerful man was Cheng. His appearance also changed. He had a long white hair and blue eyes. Tall and masculine. His black clothes also complimented his white skin. It wasn't pale and sickly color and it suits his face.

"YOU!"

NIng Shufen was clearly nervous but now she was only feeling the madness in her heart. He made her feel scared and nervous and he also had a lot of courage to laugh at her face. Cheng was having a little fun seeing her reaction and he was a little bit guilty for it.

"Yes, It's me Cheng."

Cheng smiled. However it was all just an empty smile, he never smiled genuinely in the first place. He stopped smiling already. Shufen wanted to punch his face and beat him into a pulp but she didn't. He must have a reason to hide everything, right?

Shufen sat in front of him. She wanted to ask about the unknown space and yet she didn't. She just waited there silently, the scene inside the unknown space came back inside her. That was his life in the past. Cheng was quietly staring at the fire, he wasn't moving nor wanted to talk about the unknown space.

He just sat there without making a sound, without any plan to move and talk. Shufen sighed, he must have felt that she wasn't worthy to hear his story or he just didn't want to tell her his story. Shufen glanced at his form, he was extremely unrecognizable. When they first met he had a short black hair but now it's white.

"This is my real face, Hm"

That's all it took for Shufen to stop what she was thinking.
