Chapter 34 - Who I truly am

Her gazes were full of emotion and couldn't express what in her mind seeing the person who been within her mind for months with no end.

The disappearing figure who had saved her from impending danger and did not even stay for her to give simple gratitude. It was like a fairy tale she always read where a knight would save her.

When the day came finally meeting the person that saves her did it once again. Her heart now filled with his images despite knowing he had multiple lovers did not shy away from it.

She knew deep down he was someone who fated for her. If the man heard her then he would thought she was far too innocent.

The moment before the person arrived, she was dancing practicing for performances in her school. Eyes close while imagining her partner.

The memory was the long flowing hair that she had a glimpse of. Ways every step being in her own world not bothered by the growing crowd watching.

When she opened her eyes hearing the cheers of the crowd given a proper thank you but then she heard the voice of the person who had danced with her in fantasy.

"Amazing footwork, Goddess Xu."

The person with long pitch-black hair and a black turtle neck with a dark green jacket similar to Overhaul from My Hero Academia.

"Xiao Shen you're alright!?"

Xu Rongfei exclaimed surprised he was unarmed despite fighting someone who had multiple guards. Xiao Shen was more surprised she didn't felt afraid seeing his ruthlessness.

He understands for his other lovers to not feel afraid since they were used to fighting while Jiang Churan knew him far longer than her.

Everyone was surprised that their goddess was talking so casually towards someone that they didn't know. They thought he was a student since of his youthful face making them inform the big shot in their school.

"Your Xu rongfei correct? Well, I'm amazed how you moved like someone not dancing."

"Not dancing? What do you mean?"

"As you had seen yesterday, I'm well versed in martial art and the key factor is footwork like dancing. Come with me privately and I'll show you."

Xiao Shen gestured for her to followed and she did going to a more private area where he put an illusion to not make anyone come to where they were.

After finding a suitable place, Xiao Shen demonstrates his martial art moving like a coiling dragon. Xu Rongfei watches in awe seeing an illusion of a dragon dancing along with him.

"Amazing!! You move like one in the movies!"

"Ah thank you. Well, goddess Xu you seem to have noticed who I am from yesterday."

"Yes! You're the one that saved us when those thugs attack us."

"Bingo though I didn't show my face since people would think I'm the one responsible."

Xiao Shen knew how this people's mindset works blaming immediately someone unrelated to anything even if that person saved them.

"If that's cased then thank you for saving me!"

"Hahaha don't worry about it if you want to repay me how about showing me around the school since I'm a new teacher here."

Hearing his words, Xu rongfei was surprised that their person that looked the same age as her, was teacher made her curious how old he really was.

"Seeing your curios gaze I tell you that I'm over twenty years despite my appearance."

Though his real age overall was hundred years as he had spent time cultivating that lasted for fifty years.

Xu Rongfei gleefully smiled as she excitedly shows him around the school while the student watches their goddess having a brimming smile. It was an unbelievable sight for them.

The place was enormous with many faculty that held different courses for students. However, a school in Dou Di continent was far larger compared to a small city.

After finishing the small tour, Xu Rongfei was able to know more about her hero. Xiao Shen chuckled how she acted like a young girl showing him around.

"I can see in the future you wish to be an actress? Perhaps you had chosen a college huh."

Xu Rongfei was surprised that Xiao Shen could guess her planned for the future. He didn't plan for her to give up the dream she wants to cause he'll support her.

He respected every choice his lover do. If They wanted to pursue something then he'll support them.

"Yes! How did you guess??"

"I'm quite well versed reading the future though you have two future. One is grimm full of betrayals and hatred while the other full of light and bliss."

His words were unbelievable but Xu Rongfei was surprised that her future was complicated than it expected.

"Grimm? Why is it grimm?"

"You have a successful career but met misfortune after misfortune leading to an untimely death…."

Xiao Shen checks the original timeline where Chen Fan wasn't a cultivator and it was far worse fate being a plaything for countless minds of the one she messes with until able to escaped and kill herself.

The tone in which he said those made Xu Rongfei felt it was truly her future and asked for the blissful future. Xiao Shen grinned then whispered.

"The blissful one is where I'm involved."

Burning bright red from his word ran away from embarrassment as Xiao Shen laugh ignoring the people watching and went back to teach his precious student.

After finishing his tutoring decided to visit Jiang Churan since she confessed herself to him now. He arrived at their home and was quickly hugged by a woman crying.

Xiao Shen was surprised for her in tears but felt it was tears of happiness. He smiled removing the tears in her eyes.

"Oh, my ran-ran finally confess?"

From the door, Auntie Tang could be seen smiling mischievously while internally jealous since she has been getting into more fights with her husband. Though he won't take her daughter lover but if she doesn't mind sharing.

"Forgive me Auntie tang but ill be borrowing ran-ran."

Xiao Shen took her hand then went to the lake which reflects the sunset so beautifully. Jiang Churan's face was bright red from the hand holding.

"I want to ask do you truly love me, Jiang Churan?"

Xiao Shen's words question her determination to form a relationship with him. He didn't want her to regret everything in the end.

"…Yes I love you since the time we spent I grew to understand how the world doesn't center around me and how money is nothing. I understand why mom always tells me honesty and love make someone happy. I'm happy being with you and I saw how happy the woman around you."

Xiao Shen sigh then removed his limiter of how he looked since his immortal face was enticing to anyone and would end up depopulating earth if they saw his true face.

Jiang Churan was surprised when Xiao Shen appearance grew hundred folds that made her shiver at how handsome he was. The perfect man of anyone's dream.

Her mind when blank seeing the unbelievable sight. It was like she was dreaming but was clearly real.

"I-Is that you, Xiao Shen!? How can you be more handsome!?"

"That because I'm not human but an immortal like the legends who cultivate the Dao. I'm a sect master of Immortal Allheaven and Emperor of Divine Nine Heaven empire."

Xiao Shen clothes change into his battle gear that contain shoulder guards and arm guards with Dark purple robe and red inner shirt. It was the looked of Magic Emperor, Zhou Fan.

Jiang Churan jawed dropped from the revelation as her new lover was floating in the air taking ny her waist. She couldn't believed as it was like an ancient novel story about immortals.

"Wait I'm dreaming aren't I!? How can you be this amazing!?"

"Well I'm always been amazing but tends to hide to see peoples true color."

'Not that I need to though but like their reaction.'

"Wait can you explain everything to me from the very beginning."

Xiao Shen didn't see a problem and told how everything began excluding his reincarnation only where he came from. Jiang Churan hearing the explanations was awe that her lover was this powerful comparable to a god.

"Does that mean I'm an empress?"

"Oh that does sound interesting? Empress Churan."

As he said those words, Xiao Shen summon vimana and sat at the throne while Churan on his lap. Both of them sore the night sky feeling the cold breeze despite flying in the speed of thought.

"I see you don't regret your chose?"

"What!? I won't even if I have to lived forever to be with you."

"Well I'll surely make you happy then."

Finishing their alone time return there back but not before receiving a warm kiss in the cheek. Auntie Tang dragged her daughter to have a girl talk before Xiao Shen left.

The next day he received an invitation for an auction house being held by the Wei Family which he didn't decline since Ziqing was his disciple.
