CHAPTER 55: CHAPTER 55: YANZHI, KISS ME...

Huo Tianzun understood her expectation and, after pursing his lips, said, "Yes, but I couldn’t possibly be the reincarnation of Emperor Xia. Although he was indeed great, he also committed many sins, while I carry the merit of ten lifetimes. It’s impossible that I am his reincarnation."

Hearing this, Qianxun felt disappointed at first, but quickly replied, "But, thousands of years have passed, and being reincarnated over ten lifetimes isn’t impossible, right?"

As soon as she said this, Huo Tianzun suddenly froze, a wild idea bursting into his mind.

If... if Emperor Xia had known about the numerous sins he had committed and later, in order to make amends for his mistakes, had always done good deeds in his reincarnations?

The likelihood of someone being a good person for ten lifetimes was extremely small!

In the mortal world, those who dare to sacrifice themselves for others are far too few!

And he was very clear that he was not of a merciful nature at all.

But oddly enough, when encountering evil people and deeds, he would still instinctively step in.

This had become an instinct rooted deep within him.

...

With various thoughts flooding his mind, Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but lower his head to look at Qianxun.

Although there was no light, both knew that they were looking at each other.

At that moment, Huo Tianzun suddenly asked, "May I kiss you?"

By heaven and earth, he had lived for twenty-one years, and countless women had thrown themselves at him, which he had never spared a glance, and now he was asking such a thing of an underage girl, truly just to confirm whether she was the person he was looking for.

If she was the one, all would be well; if not, he would compensate her amply for taking her first kiss.

Qianxun, upon hearing this, trembled her eyelashes. Although fox spirits were perceived by the world as beings who enjoyed seducing men, she was never such a frivolous woman; besides Yanzhi, she had never had anything to do with other men.

After a moment of silence, Qianxun suddenly closed her eyes, "Okay."

...

The warmth of his breath sprayed onto Qianxun’s face in the darkness, making the surrounding air heat up a few degrees.

Not long after, the man’s slightly cool lips landed on Qianxun’s.

At first, it was a kiss that barely began before ending, as if out of courtesy, Huo Tianzun barely touched her lips.

But the very next second, he suddenly enveloped her lips passionately, prying open her teeth and his tongue darted inside.

A light soup turned into a hearty meat dish in an instant.

However, Qianxun’s eyes widened in an instant, and tears welled up in her eyes again after a moment.

At this time, Huo Tianzun had already wrapped his arms tightly around Qianxun’s body—there was no mistake, this was the feeling.

It was her; she had to be the person he was looking for.

But just then, the cold tears fell on his lips, both bitter and salty.

Huo Tianzun suddenly came to his senses, his body freezing.

Damn it! What had he done?

Just a kiss, he had promised, and now it had turned into a French kiss!

Shameless! Debauched! Impudent! Faceless!

...

Berating himself inwardly, Huo Tianzun quickly released Qianxun, "I’m sorry, I didn’t control myself..."

Qianxun, at this moment, grabbed his waist in return, sobbing, "Yanzhi, kiss me..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Tianzun froze, his voice involuntarily softening, "Are you sure?"

Sure you want to find my person, and it’s really me?

Qianxun knew he wasn’t asking if she was sure she wanted him to continue kissing her. Nodding, she tightened her grip on his smooth sleeping robe, "It’s you... Memories can be erased by time, but feelings won’t."

In the past, they had played a game.

She disguised as a palace maid, standing among a hundred others similar to her build, purposely let him find her while blindfolded.

And he found her in an instant.

She had thrown herself into his arms at the time and said, "This way, even if we forget each other, as soon as we meet again, we will be able to find one another."

As time flowed, her words had become reality.
