Chapter 12: Love Confession

"I missed you so much. I thought that I had lost you forever" Yue said as tears kept falling from her eyes. Xu Liang could feel the suffering from her voice.

Without saying much, he folded his arm somewhat as he brought Yue closer. There was no distance left between Yue and Xu Liang.

"You'll never lose me! I'll be with you forever and ever... I promise" Xu Liang let out emotionally as he wiped the tears off her face with another hand before he hugged her with both her arms.

Xu Liang and Yue both stayed in that position for a long time as they silently felt each other's emotions.

"I love you..." Yue suddenly broke the silence as she said three words.

"I love you too, little girl" Xu Liang let out with a smile.

" Not as a brother or as a family...I love you like a girl loves a boy she wants to spend the rest of her life with." Yue further said in a soft voice.

"Hmm?" Xu Liang looked at her with a confused look on her face.

"I have been in love with you for a long time. For years I wanted to tell you but I couldn't gather the courage to tell you. I further lost the courage when I saw father adopt you as his son, as that made us brother and sister. I tried to bury my love deep inside my heart after that, but I didn't succeed. My strong feelings for you never disappeared. I thought that I would spend the rest of my life alone without telling you. I thought that I would love you silently, even if I don't receive the love in return but when you went into that coma, I... I... " She tried staying further but tears again began falling from her eyes as her sobbing continued.

"I don't want to feel like I lost you ever again! I don't want to lose even a minute of our lives! I don't want to regret not telling you, every second of my existence... I want your love for me... even if that makes me the bad person in front of the world... " She continued but her tears didn't stop.

" I want to spend my life with you! I want to be your wife! I have given you my heart and I'm asking you if you feel the same... If you don't... I won't annoy you... but my love will always be here for you, even if I don't get your love in return" She said as she finished. Her eyes were red by now from all the crying.

"I... I don't know what to say...I never looked at you like that... " Xu Liang didn't know what to say as he kept gazing at her blankly.

"It's alright... I think I got my answer." Yue said in a downcast voice as she closed her eyes. Time passed silently as no one said nothing.

After three hours, Xu Liang and Yue both had fallen asleep by now.

Soon, Yue finally moved as she separated herself from his embrace.

"I wish this moment could last forever... Although you don't love me... my love for you will never disappear. " She said lightly as she moved downwards. She brought her face closer to Xu Liang's as the distance between them decreased.

She lightly kissed him on his lips before she got off the bed and left.

As she left, Xu Liang opened his eyes lightly as he touched his lips.

"This can't happen... It doesn't matter if I like you or not... it is impossible... Even if we are not blood-related... we are still technically brother and sister now...How can I..." Xu Liang muttered lightly as he looked towards the door as sadness filled his eyes.

The sun went down at the moon hanging high in the sky. It was night time.

Goddess of Medicine, Wen Yin and God of War, Zhen left after having a lengthy conversation with Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu.

It was unknown how it happened, but the same night, everyone in the Heavenly City found out of Xu Liang's Recovery.

Young Prince Xu Liang, who had disappeared from people's minds after his coma, was now once again the talk of the whole city.

"Did you hear that Prince Xu Liang had recovered?"

"I heard about it... but I don't know if it is true. It might just be a rumor"

" I heard that it is absolutely true. The genius of Heavenly City had woken up one again."

"Hahaha… Looks like the title of No.1 won't be with Young Master Qin anymore. "

" Right. Although Young Master Qin is a genius, his talent is quite lacking when compared to Young Master Liang's talent. He was named the number one genius in the city as no one knew if Young Master Liang would ever wake up. Now is the time to give back the title"

"He had so many years to pass Young Master Liang in Cultivation but he still couldn't do it. That shows the level of talent that Young Master Liang had. He hadn't cultivated for years but still, his Cultivation is still higher than the top genius of Heavenly City.

"Exactly... Young Master Liang is a never before seen genius... No wonder his majesty went against his court and adopted Young Master Liang".

People of the city kept talking about Xu Liang as it became the hot topic of the city.

" He woke up? How? Even Wen Yin wasn't able to heal him so many years ago... how could he recover now?" A man was sitting on the throne.

His heavy aura made the atmosphere around him much more intense. Although his aura was not as strong as the Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu, it was still much stronger than War God Zhen.

He was the second strongest man in the whole Heavenly Realm, known as the Illustrious Emperor

A beautiful woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties sat on his lap as she fed him fruits while the man's hands roamed on her bountiful chest.

"Ahmmm... It was said that he woke up suddenly... There was no treatment or anything" The woman moaned lightly as she informed the man. She was wearing a tight-fitting dress which highlighted her hot curves even further. She was the concubine of the Illustrious Emperor. Her name was Mu Qing.

"How could this be possible! He should have just died!!! " Illustrious Emperor let out loudly with an angry expression on his face.

"We don't have much information about his recovery... So how about we go to the Heavenly Emperor's Palace? We should congratulate them as well as understand the real situation. Also, we will look quite petty, if we don't go even after hearing about his recovery" The woman said as she looked at Illustrious Emperor with an intoxicated face.

"Ahh Mmm..." She moaned much louder as the Illustrious Emperor grabbed her bountiful chest with slightly more force.

"I still haven't forgotten the day when my brother, Tian Zhu, entered my palace and took the Wen Yin amidst her treatment of you. Why should I go to congratulate the recovery of that mortal, he found from unknown trash? " The Illustrious Emperor sneered as he let out.
