Fei Lian observed Xing who seemed to have deeply thought before asking that question and he took a deep breath.

She knows! Looks like little Yuan contacted her!

This child... She is too good at connecting dots and if she is asking this now, could she have figured out why the Heavenly Emperor refused medications for her womb?

"Yes, I surely would have",he replied without any wavering in his voice. He has a personal take in that issue too.

Xing looked into the blue eyes that shine like emeralds. They seemed to be honest... But then, what does she know? He always seemed honest...

"Your promise... That you are on my side... Does it still stand?", she asked with her obsidian eyes looking deeply at him. She knew she could bring out the truth if she tried.

"Yes, of course.!", he replied with a smile in his face as if it was a given, surprising Xing. He really means it.

"My blood... Is it very different..? Why?", she asked.

"Yes", he replied but was not willing to discuss any further as no one had any concrete answers and only speculations about her blood.

She is one of a kind!

"Is that why I'm refused to carry a child?", she wanted to ask but she swallowed her words as she was sure what the answer would be.

"Will I be let to have the life I desire with Lu Chenglei once I finish what the heavens ordered me to do?", she asked the one thing she always wished for. It is fine if she cannot bear his children but she wanted to live by his side as his wife.

Fei Lian paused for a moment with his eyes flickering in deep contemplation, "I will personally see through that there won't be any meddling from the heavens after you succeed your trials", he spoke in a gentle and calm affirming tone, fixing his kind gaze on her.

Xing knew it is almost a promise that he is giving her. He never talks this much and for someone who is one of the great four, his word is absolute and she nodded her head.

But if thought deeply, what he meant is that they won't interfere with their hearts and unless they hold on to their love, they will succeed. This also does not mean that the rules of the trials are fair and if something happens during the trials, he won't be helping them other than protecting their lives as he had promised before.

Xing smiled dryly...

What a diplomatic reply! No wonder he is well respected by the Heavenly Emperor.

But she could understand him that this is the best thing he could do for her. He cannot take her side blindly. He has to abide by the rules of his realm afterall!

He is a god and I, a mortal!

Xing stood up to leave. Although she was not willing to put her entire hopes on him, she decided to trust his word to some extent. He is a god afterall... He cannot take back his word. There is nothing shameful than a god going back on his word.


Fei Lian didn't stop her and his eyes misted with deep contemplation followed her. As she reached the big arched door, she turned to look at him,

"Why did you save me back when I was born?", she asked hesitantly.

It bugged her. No one knew her blood was special until she got her periods. And everyone wanted a boy to be the one who kills Old Rong. So what made this god who is supposed to let her die as every plan of them was interrupted by the Tianshi Emperor, to save her life instead?

Xing didn't get an answer from the one whose hair colour marched hers who was looking at her with gentleness and affection... She has seen the same gentleness from someone else.... Who was it...? Xing thought...

Right! The Oldman!

Wait, Xing! What are you thinking? She chided herself.

Oh great! I must miss the Oldman too much to see him everywhere! I should at least visit his grave and tell him that we won the war! Just like I promised... Ah! He'd have hugged me to death after hearing the news if he were alive!

She smiled in her heart and she was still fixing her gaze on Fei Lian for answers.

"Little one, Take a bath and change your clothes before you leave. Won't your appearance create rumours?", he pointed at her blood stained robes and her disheveled appearance.

Xing looked at herself and he is right. The Empress disappearing and appearing back dishevelled will definitely create rumors around the Nobles. She didn't stand on ceremony and let the maidens in that Palace help her wash her up and change her clothes. They even did her hair and fixed a phoenix pin on her hair. She was sent back to her carriage by Fei Lian's pet Quilin who is accustomed to her.

Fei Lian who watched her leaving his Palace, leaned on the window sill and looked at his hands.

He was curious that day as the entire Heavens was in disarray with the Heavenly Emperor and the god of fate at odds at each other. The one who was supposed to kill the traitor who was never going to appear as only a female was in the belly of the one who is supposed to birth the Divine Ruler.

He, who was ordered not to interfere, as his involvement with Little Yuan which created this mess in the first place, was curious to see the child and broke his orders to see the child who was just born, struggling for her dear life.

The god of death was there to claim that little one's life. She didn't have a definite fate as everything was interrupted and changed. And so her day of death couldn't be determined that was prolonging her agony. He saw the little one with her dark hair and dark pupils trying hard to breath amist the discussion between the gods whether or not to kill her then and there.

He was not supposed to interfere, but he did! He held that little one and he didn't have the heart to let her die. Her mother was already asking the Heavenly Emperor who was there, for the safety of the Huang family in exchange for not revealing her who her father is not knowing her child's life is not guaranteed.

Just as that little one was about to breath her last, as the gods finally gave in to the demands of the god of death, Fei Lian scratched her skin to put his mark on her to let her breathe and her hair turned to his hair colour for a day signifying his possession of her as she was saved by him by his mark.

Of course that caused an outrage in the entire realm with everyone blaming him crossing the boundaries between humans and Gods once again but he was willing to take the heat.

And now her hair colour alone is proof that she belongs to him... Technically. But it is ironic that her inate powers which no one thought she had, got activated for that mortal she chose to be her mate which turned her hair golden and she truly belongs to that Lu,by heart and by their own law as accepted by the God of marriage.

He had to use one of the three wishes the Heavenly Emperor had promised him for helping him in the war, for permitting her to live.

He'll never regret that, but his regret is that she will never know the real reason he saved her. The real reason he could not help but pamper her even though he must not.

The real reason he has to call her his possession to be able to protect her. Only he and the Heavenly Emperor knows who she is really to him and may be the mountain god who might have figured it out and the Crown Prince of the Fox Clan who lived long to know everything.For others, she is his pet or possession he is too obsessed with. He is fine with that as long as no one else bothers her as she is under his protection.

It is for the same reason he cannot say, he decided to protect her and he had decided to give her the purple lotus that could cure her, once it blooms. It is for the same reason , he cannot expose his plans to her or others. She cannot be childless! Well, he'll be breaking the laws of the heavens once again....

But hey! He still has two wishes left!

This little one seems to not trust him that much and that is fine. Little Yuan didn't trust him too but he left him alone which pushed him towards Old Rong. He is not going to do the same mistake with her. He will break the walls she builds against him and will show her that she can trust him on this!

She is a kind person anyways!
