Chapter 94: Continuing to Make Up Stories for Ah Yin
Qi Tian was indeed deceiving Ah Yin, but he simply replaced Tang Hao with himself as the protagonist and told the story with deep emotion and vivid detail.
The two seemed to be having an intimate heart-to-heart, which made Ah Yin feel a little shy.
Since she couldn't verify what the future held, she actually began to believe Qi Tian's words a little.
"When did we meet?" Ah Yin asked softly.
Qi Tian shook his head. "We will never meet again."
"I absorbed my tenth spirit ring and obtained a space-time spirit skill that let me reverse time and space. Only a wisp of my remnant soul managed to return to the present!"
"The price of reversing time and space was burning away my past self, so I no longer exist. Only this remnant soul remains!"
"Once I help you through this calamity, even this last wisp of soul will turn to ashes."
"You burned yourself…? Is there any way to save you?" Ah Yin asked anxiously.
Though she hadn't experienced this unforgettable love herself, she was already completely immersed in it.
Qi Tian pretended to think for a moment. "There is. As long as you break through to level 100 and become a god before this remnant soul disappears, there's still hope of reviving me!"
It was a lie, of course, but Qi Tian wanted to give her pressure and motivation to cultivate.
Ah Yin had just breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing she could only save him after reaching godhood made her feel immense pressure again.
She had no idea anything was wrong. Qi Tian had only given her one Immortal Herb, yet she had already shouldered the mission of resurrecting him.
"Level 100 godhood? I'll work hard. I will definitely save you!" Ah Yin promised solemnly.
She had originally taken human form to avoid heavenly tribulation and cultivate into a god. This goal now aligned perfectly.
"Good. I have experience becoming a god, so I can guide you. From now on, just listen to me, understand?" Qi Tian said.
"Yes, I'll listen to you!" Ah Yin answered earnestly.
After she spoke, she suddenly felt something was off. Why was she obeying him so completely?
She looked as though she had been poisoned; anyone watching would think the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle Qi Tian fed her was some kind of obedience drug.
But after graduating from an advanced Soul Master Academy, she truly didn't know what to do next.
Now that Qi Tian was guiding her, she could relax a little.
"You say you're my future husband, but I still don't know your name," Ah Yin said.
"My name is Qi Tian!"
Ah Yin thought for a moment. "Qi Tian… then I'll call you Tian from now on!"
"Tian, can you tell me more about the future?" Ah Yin asked.
Since Qi Tian had burned himself away, she could never experience that future herself, so she wanted to hear more.
She wanted to imagine that romantic story herself.
"Of course! Which part do you want to hear? I'll tell you anything," Qi Tian said.
Ah Yin thought for a moment. "You said we had a son whose body was taken by a soul from another world. What happened to him afterward?"
Qi Tian answered, "Our son is named Qi Si. The name commemorates the bond between us four."
"Four?" Ah Yin asked, puzzled.
"You and me, plus Tang Hao and Tang Xiao of the Clear Sky Sect. We'll meet them soon."
"But I cut all ties with them long ago. It was they who exposed your soul-beast identity."
"They knew you could revive the dead and wanted your spirit ring and spirit bone. They tricked you into sacrificing yourself."
"They even told the Pope of Spirit Hall, hoping you would sacrifice yourself to Tang Hao, who was close to level ninety."
"But they didn't know we had already pledged our lives to each other and that our child was about to be born."
"When the Pope came, you sacrificed your spirit ring and spirit bone to me so I could escape."
"Never sacrifice your spirit rings or spirit bones to anyone else in the future. People are treacherous; they might be setting a trap to deceive you!"
Ah Yin felt deeply moved. She understood the mindset of 100,000-year soul beasts; they would never sacrifice themselves lightly.
The fact that she had been willing to sacrifice everything for Qi Tian proved their love transcended life and death.
"I understand. I will never sacrifice my spirit ring to anyone else! I still want to become a god!" Ah Yin declared.
Hearing that, Qi Tian finally relaxed. "Good. You need to reach the mature stage as quickly as possible. Then no one will be able to tell your true identity!"
"Yes! In two years—no, a year and a half at most—I'll reach maturity!"
"Quick, tell me more about Xiao Si," Ah Yin urged.
Their child was the bond between them; of course she wanted to know about her son.
Qi Tian inwardly sighed in relief. He had gone this far; if Ah Yin could still be stolen away by Tang Hao, there was nothing more he could do.
"Our son Xiao Si was born very weak because of the Pope's pursuit, and his body was taken by a soul from another world!"
"I raised him until he was three. That's when I discovered he knew cultivation methods from another world and realized he wasn't truly our son."
"But he still carries our blood, so I had no choice but to raise him."
At this point, Qi Tian taught Ah Yin the Mysterious Heaven Art, claiming it was the otherworldly technique he had forced out of their son.
Under Qi Tian's guidance, Ah Yin circulated the Mysterious Heaven Art once. She immediately felt this technique was far superior to local meditation methods.
Once she reached maturity, she could cultivate like a normal human Soul Master.
She would be able to use it very soon.
Qi Tian then spun a story for Ah Yin, slightly altering Tang San's experiences and telling them as their son's tale.
"When Xiao Si was six, he awakened twin spirits: my original spirit and your Blue Silver Grass spirit."
"To ensure he could safely cultivate twin spirits, I gave him your spirit bone to absorb."
"But who would have thought Tang Hao would find out, forcibly kidnap him, and take him as a disciple?"
"My injuries hadn't healed; I was no match for them. I could only watch as they took him away."
"Xiao Si was originally an adult soul. With their guidance, he quickly regained the memories and nature of his previous life."
"He even tricked a transformed soul beast into sacrificing itself. After the Blue Silver King helped awaken his spirit, he killed it and absorbed its spirit ring and spirit bone—all for his own cultivation."
Qi Tian told the story vividly. Apart from Ah Yin and the Blue Silver King, no one knew the Blue Silver Emperor spirit needed a second awakening, so she believed him more and more.
When Qi Tian spoke of their son eventually becoming a god, Ah Yin sighed. If her son hadn't been possessed, he probably would have had the potential to become a god too.
"Tian… I never imagined you suffered so much to become a god, and in the end you even burned yourself to come back and save me." Ah Yin was deeply moved.
In her mind, she had already formed a clear image of her future husband, Qi Tian.
"It's fine. I'm willing to do anything to save you!" Qi Tian said gently.
