Tonight, for Qingdai, it might be the happiest day since her death!
Two thousand years of waiting, two thousand years of steadfast devotion.
Qingdai finally saw me appear again today.
Though I knew nothing of my past lives.
But from Qingdai's words and emotions, I could feel her inexpressible feelings.
That kind of devotion to love, that fidelity to love.
Unwavering even unto death…
But looking at me, apart from a liking for Qingdai.
Love was not yet a word that could be used.
And it was far from comparable to Qingdai's unwavering vigil…
Inside, there was only感动, and then more感动.
I stood on the stone bridge, letting the cold wind sweep past.
Looking at this woman who had waited ten lifetimes for me.
Beyond感动, there was more gratitude.
"Qingdai!"
I spoke in a deep voice, a hint of sorrow mixed in.
Hearing me speak, Qingdai looked up at me again.
She was smiling, her fair face looking so warm.
She softly replied, "Mm."
As for me, I didn't know how to continue.
I said to her again:
"I'm sorry!"
Qingdai shook her head:
"Don't apologize to me.
Even though you've forgotten everything.
We can get to know each other again!
My name is Qingdai, Liu Qingdai."
As she spoke, Qingdai, this ghost of two thousand years, made a gesture of salutation like a woman of ancient times.
She was smiling, smiling sweetly.
Looking at her joyful expression, the suppressed feeling in my heart seemed to disappear a lot.
I looked at her and also cupped my fists.
Mimicking how men first met women in television dramas.
I bowed:
"Hello, my name is Qin Ze."httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
As I said my name and met Qingdai's gaze again.
I felt as if Qingdai was branded into my heart.
And even stranger.
The fire cloud mark on my chest suddenly ached.
Because it hurt badly, I subconsciously touched my left chest.
But who would have known that as I made this movement.
Qingdai also touched her left chest, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she bit her lip.
As if her left chest also hurt.
"Qingdai, you?"
I was a little confused.
But Qingdai didn't answer, instead giving me a faint smile.
Then she slightly turned around and, at the same time, untied the belt at her waist.
I was stunned.
Qingdai, what is this?
"Qingdai, what are you doing?"
But Qingdai didn't speak, nor did she stop.
After untying her clothes, she turned slightly, cast a shy glance at me, and then gently shrugged her left shoulder.
With a slight pull of her hand.
Her clothes slid down to her arms, revealing the upper part of her left chest.
For a moment, a vast expanse of skin was exposed.
Such a scene was quite impactful for me.
But at this moment, I had no impure thoughts.
Instead, my heart skipped a beat, my pupils suddenly dilated, and I showed a look of astonishment.
Because I saw that on Qingdai's left chest, just like me, there was a mark like a fiery cloud.
"Fi-fiery cloud…"
I spoke in shock.
Hearing this, Qingdai nodded slightly.
Then she pulled her clothes back up and re-tied her belt:
"Yes. This is the life curse, yours and mine."
"Mine and yours?"
I was a little confused.
What exactly was this life curse?
Qingdai, at this moment, as if she were alive, took a deep breath.
Then she spoke:
"Ten lifetimes ago, during the reign of the Xin Dynasty.
The land of Jiuzhou was plunged into suffering.
I met you and assisted my uncle, Liu Xiu, in rebelling against the Xin Dynasty.
At that time, we decided to spend our lives together.
But at the Battle of Kunyang, the world was pacified.
The Eastern Han Dynasty was established.
You left, your soul unstable.
For you to survive.
I had to place a life curse on you, using my soul to nourish your spirit.
And send you to reincarnation, so you could be reborn.
Who would have thought that this wait would be two thousand years!"
Qingdai finished this long speech lightly.
As I listened, my heart pounded wildly.
Although Qingdai spoke rather simply.
But from the snippets of her words, I could sense the hardship.
And how much she had sacrificed for me.
My unstable soul must have meant that I was on the verge of complete annihilation ten lifetimes ago.
And Qingdai, using this so-called "life curse," placed it upon both of us.
Nourishing my soul with her own spirit.
But that wasn't enough, I still needed to reincarnate for a complete recovery.
To avoid my soul scattering.
So, she sent me to reincarnation.
Who would have thought that this reincarnation would take two thousand years.
Looking at Qingdai before me, I no longer knew what words to use to describe her.
To what depth did her love for me reach?
But Qingdai suddenly smiled:
"Alright, now I've found you. Let's break this life curse together!"
Hearing this, I was stunned again.
Logically, Qingdai had met my past life, that fortune-telling Taoist.
Why didn't my past life, that great victim, acknowledge Qingdai?
"Qingdai, didn't you find my ninth life?
Why didn't he acknowledge you?
Making this lifetime wait for my appearance?"
I asked, confused.
My heart was filled with too many questions.
Qingdai thought for a moment:
"I guess, the time wasn't right.
And at that time, the life curse hadn't appeared.
Now that the life curse has been triggered.
We don't have much time left…"
