Chapter 440: Memories

/*unedited*/

Upon entering the strange box metal-like building, Mary and the kid Ju-long walked through the lobby. Mary approached the receptionist and was greeted politely by the beautiful woman on the desk.

One of them immediately guided the group upon realizing who the woman is.

Mary is very famous all over the world, as a public figure and a socialite herself. And so they were assisted towards Susan Tang's office.

As the group walked in, Ju-long suddenly extended his spiritual sense and caught two people inside the room. Actually there are three, but the third one is just a small spirit essence core. However, what he saw next made him baffled. This is because the woman sitting behind the desk is actually his mother, Qin Lou.

With an abrupt movement, he barges inside the room and saw the man hugging and kissing his mother.

A large commotion began and a little boy tried to attack Shin Jiao.

"You rogue! I will kill you! I will kill you for assaulting my dear mother…" the boy shouted as he began attacking Shin Jiao.

Unable or deciding not to dodge, Shin Jiao just stood there and catch everything that the boy throws at him.

In this world, he is not hindered by its power anymore and the core-forming power of the boy is nearly not enough to scratch his skin. So he just let the boy in his tantrum while watching Mary enter the room with horror and anxiousness in her eyes.

"Stop… stop!" suddenly Susan Tang who was stunned recovered and shouted.

The boy who was throwing his everything against Shin Jiao suddenly stopped and began running towards Susan Tang.

"Mother, are you hurt? Are you okay? Did this rogue of a man hurt you? Don't worry… I will not let him be." He said in his childish tone while hugging Susan Tang.

He then turns to the side in a protective manner.

"Mother, our cultivation level in this world is being suppressed so I know that you cannot exert too much of your strength here. But I have already grasped the crux of the things and can fully control my power." The boy said with an excited smile as if reporting an accomplishment and waiting for a reward.

Susan Tang was taken aback as she didn't know what to do.

Mary who is seeing this heaves a helpless sigh. She knew that this would happen, but she didn't have any choice as she made a promise to that powerful woman.

"Shin, Susan, it's been a while… sorry for the mess." Mary said as she walked towards the boy still hugging Susan Tang.

"Ju-long, be a good boy and come here. Stop bothering Sister Susan…" Mary said as she drags to the boy to the sofa.

Susan patted his hand and gave him a reluctant yet assuring smile on her beautiful face.

Upon seeing his mother smile at him like that, Ju-long Jiao smiled back and followed Mary and sat next to her. But he didn't let go of Susan's hand and also drags her to his side. Meanwhile, Shin Jiao also walked calmly to the other side of the sofa. He wanted to know why the kid acted as he did, and why he is calling his fiancé his mother.

"Well, where should I begin… This little boy is Ju-long Jiao… he is a son of the crown prince of the Xi empire in the cultivation world…" Mary said.

"His mother is Qin Lou…" Mary said and pauses while waiting for Shin Jiao to react, but saw nothing.

"She is the current 2nd wife to the crown prince…" she continues and waited for a reaction but saw nothing in Shin Jiao's expression.

However, Shin Jiao suddenly squinted his eyes as he remembers something.

"Wait… Qin Lou?" he muttered.

"Yes, she… she actually looks exactly like Sister Susan… I mean we literally thought and mistaken her to be Sister Susan while exploring and hunting for beasts in that forest in the cultivation world."

Shin Jiao and Susan Tang look at each other in confusion and astonishment.

"Anyway… I'm just here to show you this boy." Mary said with a smile.

"I've heard that you knew Qin Lou…" she added.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao didn't want Susan Tang to hear something so he turns to look at Mary.

But Susan Tang beats him to his words.

"I want to hear this…" she just said while calmly looking at Shin Jiao.

"Yes, I knew her… She… I think she and I have a deep relationship in that place. But right now everything is vague in my mind." Shin Jiao said and took a glance at Susan Tang who suddenly had a worried look in her eyes.

"Sigh… I already told her about your condition…" Mary said feeling a bit guilty.

"Shin… this boy… he is…"

"Wait! Wait a minute…" Shin Jiao stood up.

He somewhat knew what is happening and felt a bit confused. His memory can see the different images of him and Qin Lou being together, even the long night they spent in each other's arms before the war, he can see clearly now. But he could not feel anything about it. It was as if he is just looking at a movie inside his mind. Due to his fragmented memories, he could not grasp the feeling he had back then.

"Can I think about this for a while…" Shin Jiao said as he turns around and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a little boy's small voice.

"Is he… is he my real dad?"

And the innocent question which made Shin Jiao's mind shattered into pieces. It was like a torrent of memories became like a puzzle slowly forming deep inside his brain as he slowly recalled everything. His supposed strong physique suddenly became weak while his head is throbbing in pain.

The voice of the young boy was like a catalyst that his mind is waiting before it would open up.

No one knew why and how this happened, and no explanation can clear out this event in his life.

But under the strong throbbing and pain he felt, he can vaguely hear the words of the people inside the room as they were in a panic. Shin Jiao didn't know what happened next as he suddenly found himself in darkness.

Inside the darkness, several figures appear and he knew those people. Those were the people he met when he was transported to the mysterious cultivation world.

Cherry Lao was the first woman he met in that place. The beautiful and charming young lady caught his heart. But then she ruthlessly broke it, just because of revenge.

And then there was the young and gently Qin Lou. Although she is not a beauty, she captured his heart all the same. She became the woman he wanted and the woman who supported him. Until the day they were separated by a cruel twist of fate.

Then he met a lot of people from then one and remembers his experiences and the cruelty of the other world. He also recalled his friends and his family on the other side, his 'mother' and his people.

"I have to return… I have to make sure that they are safe." He muttered to himself.

Suddenly a voice interrupted his thought.

'If you return… Then, how about your life here? Would you let this life go?'

Shin Jiao was a bit taken aback, he knew that what the voice said was true. He has a new and happy life now, is he willing to leave this life and go back to that chaotic world?

This question lingers to his heart as a very hard decision is currently tearing him apart.

He can feel the pain of the past and the happiness of the present. He just can't see the hope in the future.

"Wait a minute… there is still the portal right?" Shin Jiao voiced out.

'So are you going to try and live in both worlds?'

"Why not? If I can, why not?"

'Can you protect both worlds from the darkness that is now slowly creeping in?'

"Darkness? What do you mean?"

'In ancient times before the universe was created, there exists great darkness. As deities, we cannot intervene with this natural law. However, we suspect that the beast gods are responsible for this. Hence the demons on planet Gaeus Ro were the first to invade… but because of you and the mages, this was stopped and the planet was saved.'

"So those demons are the invaders?"

'No, those demons are not the physical form but those unseen by the eyes.'

'They will corrupt the hearts and mind of their victim…'

"How can I fight against that kind of power then?"

'As what you have done in the past… defeat their source.'

"You mean when I killed the demon general Belfast, everything stopped?"

'Yes… I already permit you to carry the power to live in both worlds. Grow stronger and protect my children, protect your brothers and sisters…'

"Wait… wait… I think it's better if I let them protect themselves, right?"

'Haha… Hahaha… this… this is what I like about you. You don't claim the honor for yourself… this is what makes you unique… this kind of reminds me of myself back then… Haha…'

'Anyway, good luck and congratulations on having your memories back… it��s time to wake up.'

Shin Jiao heard the words and had a smile on his face. His responsibility is growing, but to make it lighter, delegating is the key.

As he slowly opens his eyes, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room and a stench of disinfectants assaulted his nose.. He immediately knew that he is inside a hospital room.
