Chapter 13: War God Zhen

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

"Aren't you curious about how he woke up? Don't you want to go check yourself? " Mu Qing asked the Illustrious Emperor while she relished the touch of his warm hands.

"Hmm... I'll go... I want to ascertain what this was all about? Even Goddess of Medicine Wen Yin couldn't heal him, how did he heal then? What is the secret that he's hiding... I will witness it all for myself! " The Illustrious Emperor said with a grin on his face.

"We can go later... Let's have some fun for now" Mu Qing said with a seductive grin on her face. She held a grape by her lips as she brought her face closer to his face.

The Illustrious Emperor also brought his face closer to her as his lips met hers. He took the grape and swallowed it before he passionately kissed Mu Qing.

There was utter silence in the room. Not even the slightest of sound could be heard. Xu Liang stayed alone in his room as he thought about everything that had transpired.

"So I actually died because of my sickness..." He muttered with a depressed smile on his face.

"Little Lan is left all alone back on Earth. I'm such an awful brother... Leaving her just like father and mother, " He shut his eyes as he felt them getting wet. He thought about the days he spent with his sister. 

"Lia... I hope you will take care of Little Lan just like you promised. I gave her all the property of the Xu family and at present, she is the sole owner, but with all the money, new enemies will appear who will try to take advantage of my sister. I am not there to hold her safe, but I hope that you will help her when such a situation arrives. My sister is a little stubborn at times, but she is the kindest girl I've known" He continued talking to himself.

He remained awake for hours, as he tried to calm his mind and control his emotional turmoil. He still couldn't come to terms with reality. Passing away on Earth alone was too much for him, let alone waking up in a different body and in a different world. Having someone else's memories merge with his own memories... living two lives... it was all surreal.

'This is a different world... A world filled with miracles. A world filled with gods and demons and impossible magical strengths. My life... it has really changed, hasn't it? From dealing with billionaires, getting deals done, planning and strengthening my company to strengthening myself with cultivation... Everything changed completely. ' Xu Liang thought as a confused smile appeared on his face.

'And then there's Yue. Daughter of the man who adopted me... the one who brought me out of the darkness. She opened her heart out to me... but how can I...? She's family!!! Even thinking about something like that would have grossed me out back on Earth. I would never do such a thing yet, why do I feel like I have feelings for her as well? What has this merging of memories done to me??? ' He thought as his head started aching.

Xu Liang was grabbing his forehead, which had started aching when suddenly, the door of his room opened.

A maid walked inside the room. The maid looked to be quite short as she was only 5 feet in height but she seemed cute. She had her pitch-black hair tied to a ponytail. She wore a black skirt that came down to her knees and exposed her milky white legs below her knees.

"Mengchan? What are you doing here?"  Xu Liang asked again as he looked at the maid. She was the same maid who was in the room when he first woke up.

"Young Master... I came to check on you. Are you in pain?" She said with a distressed look on her face as she saw Xu Liang grabbing his head.

"Only some light headache... you don't need to worry about it," Xu Liang said as he acted calmly. He brought his hands down.

"Should I tell his majesty to call Madam Wen Yin?" She inquired as she shifted her gaze between the door and Xu Liang. She appeared as if she was readying herself to run to tell Heavenly Emperor Tian Zhu if Xu Liang needed help.

"There is no need for that. I will be fine after a good night's sleep. You can go and rest as well." Xu Liang replied as he noticed the worried look on her face.

"I can't leave. I have been ordered to stay here to take care of the young master." Mengchan said with a smile as she sat on a chair nearby.

"Did my Royal Father order you?" Xu Liang asked with a wry smile on his face.

Mengchan nodded her head as she sat straight.

"Huh, I can't make you go against his wishes." Xu Liang shook his head lightly as he lay down on the bed. He covered his body with a blanket. Although he was a strong cultivator and couldn't feel the cold, he relished the comfort that the soft blanket provided.

"Mengchan?" Xu Liang let out on the spur of the moment.

"Yes, master!"  Mengchan said as she became alert.

"Can I ask you something?" Xu Liang inquired as he gazed at her.

"Master can ask me anything"  She responded as she wondered about what he wanted to ask.

"What do you think about War God Zhen?" Xu Liang inquired as he sat up.

"Master War God? He's absolutely amazing!!! He's the idol of most of the people of this realm. It had been said that throughout the years of fighting with the demon realm, he had never been defeated in a battle. He's the master of war strategy. As an added bonus, he is an astonishing musician. In fact, he is considered the best musician in this realm, but for some strange reason, he rarely plays his music. " Mengchan said as she stood up excitedly. It was as if she was talking about someone she absolutely adored.
