Chapter 1: Fairy, I Really Am Your Husband!

1382 Words
Xiao Yifeng slowly opened his eyes from a daze, and the first thing he saw was a sea of fire stretching across the mountains. The flames seemed endless, consuming everything in the village, with thick smoke billowing up. The acrid smell of smoke and the sight of wolf corpses strewn across the ground jolted him fully awake. In front of him stood a woman, her skin like jade and her white palace dress as pure as snow. Amidst the fire, she looked like a celestial being who had descended from the heavens, her clothes fluttering gracefully. The beautiful woman’s face was slightly furrowed with worry as she looked at him. "I‘m alive? Han Yan, why are you here? Did you save me? I love you so much…” Xiao Yifeng’s body trembled at the sight of this beautiful woman, and with an incredulous expression, he said, before running towards her. The stunning woman in white, surprised to see him running towards her as soon as he woke up, stood there in shock, momentarily forgetting to react. She found herself enveloped in his arms, standing there helplessly. “I can’t believe I’m alive and I can see you again. This is wonderful! By the way, where is Qingyan? Did you save her too?” Xiao Yifeng asked excitedly, looking around. “How do you know my name? What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t know you. Let go of me!” The beautiful woman struggled anxiously, trying to free herself from Xiao Yifeng’s grasp. “Han Yan, it’s my fault. I didn’t know Qingyan was still alive. I only self-destructed to help her escape, not to break our promise. Wait, why are you so much taller now…” Xiao Yifeng, thinking she was angry with him, held on even tighter. He suddenly realized something was wrong and looked up at Liu Hanyan in confusion. He noticed that she was unusually tall, and he only reached her thigh. The stunning woman’s face was flushed red, looking troubled, with her frown as beautiful as his wife’s, and that familiar faint fragrance. Who else could she be but his wife, Liu Hanyan? “I don’t care who you are. Don’t think I won’t hit you just because you’re a child. Let go now, or I won’t be polite!” The woman in white said coldly. “Han Yan, don’t you recognize me? I’m Yifeng, your husband!” Xiao Yifeng said anxiously, seeing that she was truly angry. The beautiful woman finally reached her limit, and a powerful, icy aura spread from her like a blooming ice lotus. Xiao Yifeng was blown away several meters by this aura, landing on the hard, solid ground, feeling a wave of pain throughout his body. “Han Yan, how could you do this to me? Are you trying to murder your husband? I didn’t leave you on purpose.” He looked at the woman in white in disbelief, speaking sorrowfully. “Yifeng, what’s wrong with you? What nonsense are you talking about? Apologize to the fairy quickly! Fairy, please forgive him. He’s just temporarily shocked…” A young voice said urgently nearby, the voice sounding immature yet composed. Xiao Yifeng turned his head at the sound, seeing a very handsome young boy not far away, his face smeared with some blood and ash, looking at him in astonishment. Xiao Yifeng’s eyes widened. Ye Jiusi? How is he in the form of a child? What is going on? Just as he was about to speak, a surge of emotions overwhelmed him, causing a sharp pain in his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted. It was unclear how much time had passed, but Xiao Yifeng suddenly woke up, sitting up with a start, gasping for air, his hands trembling slightly. He shouted, “Han Yan!!!!” Before waking up, his mind was filled with memories of his early life, his experiences with Lin Qingyan, the power struggles in the Star Temple, and the love and hatred with Liu Hanyan. The stone gates towering between heaven and earth kept appearing, ending with a life-and-death struggle with Lin Qingyan. Various bizarre and terrifying scenes played in his mind like nightmares. Xiao Yifeng composed himself and looked around, finding himself in a simple side room with two small windows. The room was plainly furnished and clean, with only a few pine wood tables and chairs, and a kettle and cups on the table. It looked like a typical guest room in an inn or a room shared by several disciples learning from a master. He was lying on the only bed in the room, surrounded by a few young boys chatting by the tables and chairs. Ye Jiusi was by the bedside, a faint worry on his handsome face. Seeing Xiao Yifeng wake up, Ye Jiusi’s face softened a bit, and he asked with concern, “Yifeng, are you okay? Why did you suddenly go crazy, clinging to the fairy who saved our lives?” “Jiusi?” Xiao Yifeng said in disbelief. Ye Jiusi nodded heavily, his handsome young face showing a sad expression. “Although everyone in Xiao Family Village except for us is gone, I know you’re very sad, but please don’t scare me like this.” Xiao Yifeng’s mouth opened, filled with countless questions, but no words came out. The village is gone? Xiao Family Village? Xiao Yifeng stared blankly at him for a while before coming to his senses. He quickly extended his hands, seeing they were not large, with some calluses from a poor child’s labor. But compared to the scarred hands from his future battles, these hands were too pampered. He pulled up his left sleeve, seeing a deep scar on his left arm, sewn up like a centipede. It was an injury he got from farm work as a child, but had been cleansed away after he started cultivating. I’m back in the past! This was when his village was attacked by wolves, and ten-year-old he and Ye Jiusi were saved by Liu Hanyan, now traveling on a flying ship to Wentian Sect. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a group of children fell silent. A delicate and beautiful woman entered the room, asking, “Which one of you is Xiao Yifeng? Our palace master wants to see you. Come with me!” Ye Jiusi looked nervously at Xiao Yifeng, worried that the fairy would pursue the matter later. Xiao Yifeng gave him a reassuring smile, saying, “It’s okay. I just went a bit crazy from shock. I’ll go apologize to the fairy. I’ll be right back.” Under Ye Jiusi’s worried gaze, Xiao Yifeng followed the guide out of the room. As they walked through the corridor, he could tell it was a three-story flying ship, looking much like a large land-based ship. The ship was smoothly flying through the sky, clouds drifting by, with no sense of movement on board. His mind was racing. Did he return after dying? At this time, Liu Hanyan didn’t know him yet, and they were not married. The safest course of action was to pretend he was temporarily insane from shock. However, he had already called out Liu Hanyan’s name, which was hard to explain. Liu Hanyan was known by her celestial title, Guanghan Fairy, in front of outsiders, and few knew her real name. Moreover, based on his previous life’s experience, if he didn’t make some changes, he would likely be sent off the ship to be an outer sect labor disciple. Ye Jiusi, due to his outstanding talent, would be taken into Wentian Sect as a true disciple. He had struggled for years as a labor disciple before finally being admitted into the most neglected Wuya Hall as a regular disciple, and struggled for many more years to become a true disciple. Thinking about the chaotic future, Xiao Yifeng knew time was tight and he couldn’t afford to cultivate slowly. No matter what, he needed to gain enough strength quickly. Since he had already called out Liu Hanyan’s name, he had to make her believe he was her husband. He needed to join Wentian Sect quickly and gain enough power to protect himself and Liu Hanyan.
