Past

Wang Kuan and Qing Zhu walked to the living room, to find Luo Yi looking at them with a sneer. Luo Yi didn't like Wang Kuan due to his past reputation of reckless behaviour and the relationship between him and Qing Zhu. Wang Kuan didn't have much of an impression of her so he didn't care about that much about her. The atmosphere was a bit awkward as the three didn't speak any word.

"It seems young master Wang still hasn't learned any manners," Luo Yi said mocking Wang Kuan, Qing Zhu must've told her about him saving her at the festival. After all, it was normal for girls to talk to each other about everything. Wang Kuan didn't bother much with the remarks made about him, it was pointless to do such a thing in another's house.

"Luo Yi, could you go out a bit? I have something to say to him," Qing Zhu said as she looked at her with a serious expression. Luo Yi snorted and left to the other room, now it was only two of them in the room. Wang Kuan felt somewhat awkward with the silence and tried initiating a conversation,

"Why did you...."

"How did you...."

The two of them said at the same time and stopped, silence sunk in. They had to say something to break it. Qing Zhu blushed with a calm expression and said, "You go first".

"Okay, why did you accept the glass he gave?," Wang Kuan asked worriedly, he was still confused about why she would accept that pathetic man's glass of wine and felt uncomfortable in his heart, maybe it was due to Tian'er. Qing Zhu laughed quietly and said, "I wasn't planning on drinking it though, I was planning to pour it and how did you know there was a drug in the glass?".

"I smelled it," Wang Kuan replied blandly but Qing Zhu still didn't believe the excuse. Qing Zhu said back, "You can't smell it from afar unless you have some kind of superpower". Qing Zhu felt Wang Kuan has changed a lot after she let Tian'er stay with him and she liked the current him, he felt more comfortable to be with rather than that idiot version of him.

'Humph, who likes him anyway,' Qing Zhu snorted and thought.

Wang Kuan laughed at her remark, he could not tell her his exact power. Wang Kuan would never laugh but this time seemed to be different and Wang Kuan didn't know why he laughed. Wang Kuan still felt guilty for how he treated her and decided to sincerely have a heart to heart talk with her,

"Why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy?" Wang Kuan decided to ask her the question he already knew the answer to but he wanted to hear it from her. Qing Zhu looked at her feet and was quiet for a while, she replied timidly, "I was afraid you wouldn't accept the child cause I only found out I was pregnant a week after our breakup and you probably didn't even want to see my face".

Wang Kuan expected this and said, "I'm glad you decided to let me meet Tian'er," Wang Kuan knew he would never accept the child but the current he was trying to repay back, "I will repay you for everything you did for the child". Wang Kuan left Qing Zhu stunned with his words and she didn't want to believe his words.

"Humph, you expected me to believe that," Qing Zhu held her arms at her chest and looked away, she felt something strange. Wang Kuan let out a bitter laugh and said, "I promise that I will protect Tian'er and you as the child's mother". Wang Kuan left and Qing Zhu looked complicated,

'So, I'm only that in your eyes' Qing Zhu thought and looked at his back.

Wang Kuan was sleeping on the couch tonight and the night flew by,

Wang Kuan found himself in a familiar place and surrounded by familiar people, Wang Kuan looked down to find himself wearing a familiar armour. Wang Kuan knew immediately he was back to the place he hated the most, he wanted to burn it down but he felt he couldn't move.

"Master, where are you going?" Wang Kuan heard a familiar voice and he was brimming with extreme hatred and rage. His most hated person, Zhong Cheng, the disciple that betrayed him. Wang Kuan wanted to scream and shout with anger but he can't open his mouth. Wang Kuan watched as he came to the hall to talk to him.

"I will be travelling to Jade Island," Wang Kuan felt his mouth opened and a dignified sentence came out of it. Wang Kuan knew immediately this was the last trip he made before he died and it was one of the most painful memories of his life. Zhong Cheng looked at him with a complicated look and asked, "How long will you stay there?".

"I'll be staying there to cultivate and visit my old friends there so it could be very long," The Eternal God said with a gentle smile and Wang Kuan wanted to bang his head. This was the memories of the Eternal God, Wang Kuan heard a soft voice called him and his expression completely sunk,

"Wang Kuan, don't forget to take this with you and give this to your parents," A woman with long flowing hair, beautiful clear eyes and a face that was so beautiful that it could cause the world to fall for her, Xi Sheng, the only woman he loved and cherished for thousands of years, said coldly to him. The woman was still beautiful even if he was filled with hatred towards them, he would still praise them and her beauty was on par with Qing Zhu. She was cold as always as she gave him some gifts and a gem that she wanted him to give it to his parents in her stead. She decided not to go because she had something to do.

Wang Kuan felt he was losing his sanity and could be considered suffocating inside. Wang Kuan wanted to say, "Why did you betray me? What did I do to make you kill me? I loved and cherished you two for most of my life and yet you stabbed me in the back, you traitors" but nothing came out except a warm smile. The Eternal God smiled gently and looked at her tenderly as he held her hands, "My love, I might be there longer than before so please wait patiently for me at home". Xi Sheng nodded but there was an expression he didn't notice. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and waved them goodbye, it was then that he could've known he would die from these people.

Wang Kuan hated, hated them all. He wanted to kill, wanted to kill them all but he can't move. Suddenly, it flashed forward to him drinking the tea that had poison in it and him choking as it was taking effects. Wang Kuan felt himself dying from the effects of the poison but he didn't feel any pain, it felt almost empty, his soul felt empty. It then flashed to the hideous faces that he wanted to rip off as they pushed him off to his death and laughed at him.

"I'll kill them all, I'll kill them all, just wait and see," Wang Kuan shouted at the darkness filled with anger and hatred to the brim as he fell down. He vowed to eradicate all lives in the entire heavens and darkness consumed the goodness he had in him that made him weak and vulnerable to getting fooled and stabbed in the back.

It then flashed forward to a strange place and it was one frightening scene that it forcefully made Wang Kuan wake up.

Wang Kuan opened his eyes in cold sweats and found himself lying on the floor. It was still early and no one was up yet, Wang Kuan rubbed his forehead and shook his head. He went to the bathroom and washed his face. He clenched his fists till it cracked and thought,

'Why did it came back? It was my old memories but why?'

It has been a while since he had nightmares. Wang Kuan decided to cook them breakfast as payment for letting him stay here with Tian'er. He was cooking bacon and eggs, a simple breakfast. As he was cooking, a notification popped up,

'Let's meet up at Diary Cafe,' a text came from Uncle Lan. Wang Kuan agreed but Uncle Lan asked if he could bring Tian'er with him. Wang Kuan felt helpless and decided to let them meet each other. Wang Kuan continued cooking,

"Who's up at this moment?" Luo Yi asked while rubbing her eyes. She sneered after seeing it was Wang Kuan and said, "I didn't expect the arrogant young master Wang to know how to cook". Wang Kuan ignored her and continued cooking, she felt even more furious and wanted to say more but suddenly, a plate was tossed onto the table.

Luo Yi smelled a nice fragrance coming from the food and wanted to drool but hesitated. Wang Kuan said emotionless, "Eat it and shut up," Luo Yi was angry but decided to give it a try due to its fragrance and tempting looks. Luo Yi took a bite and opened her eyes widely, she began devouring the plate down. Wang Kuan smiled confidently and heard a small voice,

"Wow, that smells nice," The little princess rubbed her adorable eyes. Wang Kuan smiled and made a small plate for her. They began eating and later Qing Zhu joined them, Qing Zhu already knew he was a good cook cause he used to cook for her before. Such good times always flew by quickly even if they were bitter sometimes.

"Qing Zhu, can Tian'er travel with me today?" Wang Kuan asked Qing Zhu, Qing Zhu looked confused and she was kinda busy today so she decided to let them be together. Tian'er was excited and Wang Kuan smiled with a complicated look.

The duo left to have some fun well at least on Tian'er's side, Wang Kuan was interested in the things Uncle Lan wanted to show him and tell him. Wang Kuan held her hands as she jumped up and down, she heard a lot about Uncle Lan from her father and also wanted meet him too. Wang Kuan smiled happily but felt strange in his heart.
