The Fallen Consort

"In my first life, I revered him as a brother. In the end, I hated him like my enemy. I couldn't kill, so I let him kill me. I'd rather die in his arms than lose him.."

A voice sounded in her mind.

It sounded familiar. Yi Ling thought.

..

..

"Meiling?"

.

.

.

No one answered for a while.

.

.

.

"He was always been kind to me. I didn't know if he was doing it because of guilt or because he cared. With this kind of thought, I decided to reincarnate with no memories. I drank the Tea of Forgetfulness, to erase this kind of hatred in my heart. To start a new, with a life no longer connected to theirs. To him..."

Yi Ling could feel the pain as the voice says her piece. The voice was indeed Meiling. But this time, she couldn't feel the anger anymore. More or less, it felt like she finally accepted her fate.

"In my second life, I was born as a human. My parents named me Yang Hualing. I never knew them though, they died early on and I was taken care of my mother's friend. She was a doctor in Mid-rank Xing Kingdom."

As Meiling started her story, images popped in Yi Ling's mind. She knew that she was looking at someone's memories. Well, her memories.

"As I grew up, I've became a doctor like her. More than that, I was more knowledgeable and more accurate on healing and solving health issues. No patient's poison or illnesses could stop me.

Because of this, I was able to travel to the high-rank Kingdoms. Even there, I became more popular. They started calling me the Fairy Doctor. All the people revered me. Even my Cultivation was exceptional. At the age of 30, I was at the peak of Emergent Stage.

Unfortunately, there was a barrier that keeps us from advancing further. This was something, I have always pondered. Why couldn't we be able to advance in Sainthood.

On this book, it tells about the life of an unknown man. Who was at the peak of Emergent Stage. He said that, no human can breakthrough Sainthood. Because the land has been cursed. Cursed by the Heavens.

He says that he had been trying to find all kinds of ways to break this curse. At the end, he did found it. For one to be able to breakthrough, one must go into the deepest part of the High-rank spiritual beasts territory. Where Sainthood spiritual beasts lives.

Why else would the beasts be able to gain Sainthood? There must be something that helps them breakthrough. For this , he needed to go there. The spiritual beasts called it, The Kingdom of the Goddess.

The story ended there, the unknown man didn't say if he was able to breakthrough or if he found the solution. Especially because that kingdom is full of powerful beasts. I didn't think that he was able to survive, but still it was worth a shot.

I didn't know what Kingdom was it before or what I was looking for. Still, I went there. Never knowing that it was the same place, where I stayed during my first life. It was the Kingdom that I built, alongside my trusted aids."

The visions were crystal clear. She felt that they were all too familiar. So this is my second life, she thought.

"To be able to meet Muxin, did we ascended to heaven?" she asked.

"Yes. We did. When I ascended, They took me inside his palace. For the reason that, no one should be able to open the gates of heaven except for a Deity. The only Deity in existence was the King. At that time, the King was looking for the reincarnation of his little sister. The Meiling that he remembered.

Unfortunately, because of my skills. I was able to preserve my youth, becoming beautiful than ordinary. When I was in Huaxia, I liked it. Because everyone revered and worshipped me. No one dares to provoke me. If there is, I killed them without hesitation.

With this kind of beauty, the knights thought that I was his little sister. I didn't knew then, that I truly was the one he was looking for. He knew about it, he was able to tell from my soul aura. One soul aura would never change, no matter how many times you reincarnated.

At first, He was cold to me, aloof and uncaring. At least, that's what I thought. I pretended to be naive, so I could hug his thɨġhs. He was the highest ruler in that place. So no one dares to provoke him. I was at the bottom of the ranks. Since I just ascended, I was at the lowest.

I needed some protection, so I insisted on staying inside the Jin Kingdom. He didn't cast me out either. He even let me stay inside his little sister's pavilion.

I grew curious of him, his life and his sister. Years after, I've fallen for him. As my feelings from my first love, came rushing back. I tried everything to break the wall. To make him see that I was not his little sister. That I was a woman, worthy of his love and affection.

It took me a hundred years, to be able to share our first kiss together. Even then, I was the one who initiated it."

Meiling sighed. Yi Ling too. She felt that her three lives were born unfortunate. She didn't know why, but seeing King Jin being aloof with Yang Hualing made her heart ache. Like Yi Ling was experiencing Yang Hualing's predicaments.
