Zhu Longwang opened his eyes, purple eyes piercing towards the sky. He looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, feeling his heart beat hard against his chest. Where was he? He continued to breath, pausing as he recollected himself.

He heard steps by his side, glancing from the corner of his eyes.

"Immortal Zhu." Fei Shang smiled as he walked towards Zhu Longwang.

Zhu Longwang blinked a few times, processing the information in his head. He was alive. And, Fei Shang was still alive too. Now, how many years had passed? "Fei Shang." His voice was low, quiet and hoarse.

Fei Shang understood what he needed at once, turning to his side to grab a cup of tea as Zhu Longwang slowly sat up.

Zhu Longwang situated himself, leaning against the bed frame. He accepted the cup of tea, drinking a sip from it as it cleared his dried throat.

His hands shook, perhaps it was excitement and fear mixed together. "How long has it been? Zhu Longwang asked directing his eyes towards Fei Shang, who began fiddling with the equipments in the room.

"Immortal Zhu, a few centuries have already passed. It... is truly a good thing that you have returned." Fei Shang replied, unable to hold back the sigh from his mouth.

It had been that many years? In Heaven, the days passed by slow. At one point, Zhu Longwang could no longer remember how much time had passed for him. All those years, he waited for one man. Even after so many years, he still waited for him. Yet, he never saw him. It was as if the man was still alive and well. Thinking to this point, his eyes lighted up, asking frantically, "Qianchi, where is he?"

"He."

The sound of a door slammed open.

Fei Qianchi pushed the door hard, slamming it out of his way. He looked around, his blue eyes filled with undeniable joy and panic. As he saw Zhu Longwang, he slowly walked over, a smile on his lips as he trembled.

He was alive... Fei Qianchi could barely suppress his cry. His eyes were opened, his beautiful purple eyes, eyes that shone like the moon. Fei Qianchi almost stumbled.

Zhu Longwang looked beautiful, a cold type of beautiful. The man's narrow eyes dipped with a tail, his soft lips, his purple eyes, everything brought about a burst of pain within him. This man was his light, his life, this was the man who gave everything to him.

"Longwang," Fei Qianchi's voice cracked as he walked over, Fei Shang moving aside.

"Qianchi." Zhu Longwang looked up at Fei Qianchi, his cold eyes reddening, a small smile formed on his lips. "Qianchi." The only thing he could do was repeat his name.

"Longwang," Fei Qianchi sat on the bed, his arms reaching out to hold Zhu Longwang in his embrace, hugging the man tightly in his arms. "I'm sorry." For everything, he truly was.

Zhu Longwang listened, biting his lips to suppress his cries. "No, it was my fault." He was too afraid, hence, he hid the truth.

"I'm sorry. I... there's nothing I can say to you except these words." Fei Qianchi couldn't hide the feelings in his heart that seemed to burst. How many lifetimes had he spent with this man? Yet, none could compare to this moment where he saw him alive once more.

Zhu Longwang arms trembled as he brought them up, wrapping his arms around Fei Qianchi's waist. "A lot has happened. I was able to think about everything carefully. I... was too afraid back then so I never told you the truth."

Fei Shang, seeing that they were talking about something personal, immediately pulled Zhu Luishui, who was still in shock, away, closing the door.

With all eyes gone, Fei Qianchi pulled away from Zhu Longwang, looking at the man's long lashes that covered his eyes. There was a slight blush around his eyes, the man's smile was breathtaking.

Fei Qianchi felt his heart pound hard against his chest, as if it was going to jump out at any moment. There were so many words he wanted to say, but he couldn't even think of a way to say them. He could only panic within, watching as Zhu Longwang smiled in front of his eyes. He almost doubted everything, that everything was just a lie, an illusion. Yet, the man's warm skin was evident against his palm. His breathing, his eyes, the lifting of his chest, everything told Fei Qianchi that this was real.

"What do I do, Longwang? I love you so much, it took so long to say these words. From the beginning, it was always you." Fei Qianchi finally confessed, his voice trembling. His smile was still wide as he spoke.

Zhu Longwang closed his eyes at these words, his lips trembling. Teardrops fell from his face, his emotions in a mess.

Fei Qianchi watched with joy in his heart, and lifting his hand, he wiped away the tears that fell from Zhu Longwang's eyes. His hand carefully caressed Zhu Longwang, as if calming down the man.

No one knew. No one could understand the silent words these tears were telling him. His heart shook in both joy yet sorrow, as if he could see the man's pain. Zhu Longwang, he was the most innocent person in this entanglement of a mess. He lost and lost, all the while, never knowing why. He had no wrongs, he had no faults, yet he was still involved into this revenge.

Zhu Longwang had no reasons to be pulled into this mess, yet he still was. Because of everything that surrounded him, he was also included in this revenge.

"Longwang, we nearly missed a lifetime. Everything has been laid out in stone, everything has been revealed. Now, are you willing to tell me the truth?" Fei Qianchi asked, wiping the tears that continued to roll down Zhu Longwang's face as the man closed his eyes.

Zhu Longwang was nervous. He was happy, his heart was content at last. Yet, the tears rolled down his face. Even he didn't know why. With these mere words from Fei Qianchi, the years he spent in pain was worth it. Just to hear these words, all the pain he had gone through was nothing compared to this. Thus, even as he cried, he smiled.

"I love you, Qianchi. From the beginning, I was the person who saved you." Zhu Longwang confessed. "I watched over and protected you for centuries until the day I met you, but I never said anything about my identity. I was afraid of ruining the relationship we had, so instead, I hid everything from you. If I had known that Baicheng was using you, that he was using my identity, I would've stepped in. But I didn't, and when you were imprisoned, I did everything to save you. In the last moment, I thought that you had killed me. It was the same, your face was exactly the same."

Hearing this, Fei Qianchi could remember it from a dream that he once had. It was hard to visualize it exactly but he remembered bits and bits of it.

Zhu Longwang leaned into Fei Qianchi's hand as he continued, "Since I thought that you killed me, I was happy to die. Only when I walked my way to Heaven, it was only then that I realized that it wasn't you. I spent years waiting for you, but I never saw you." Zhu Longwang sniffed, his tears gradually stopped flowing. He looked up with a faint smile, still carrying the cold beauty he possessed. "Qianchi, I love you. I was afraid to admit it, but I love you."

Fei Qianchi couldn't help it as his heart skipped with every word Zhu Longwang said. It also made him realize what exactly happened over the years, what had happened to Zhu Longwang that he didn't know of. From the faint dreams and visions he was able to get from Fei Shang, he had a small understanding of how things had played out for the other people involved in this. Since he merely had his memories, he only knew his side of the story.

Fei Qianchi stared at Zhu Longwang. His face was a bit feminine, but he was still dazzling handsome. Though, many would call the man beautiful, he was clearly a man at first glance. His beauty was breathtaking, easily compared to the beauty of the moon.

Staring at his face, Fei Qianchi slowly reached for the man's face as he lowered his own face. With his eyes closed, he gently placed his lips upon Zhu Longwang's.

Zhu Longwang froze for a second, a gentle pair of lips upon his own. Fei Qianchi's handsome face was in front of his, his eyes closed. As he trembled, Zhu Longwang closed his eyes, moving his own lips.

Fei Qianchi could feel Zhu Longwang responding, the man slowly beginning to suck at his lips, gentle and light, as if he was afraid. Fei Qianchi couldn't help but smile before he deepened the kiss, his tongue prying Zhu Longwang's lips apart.

Zhu Longwang softly gasped, surprised by the sudden intrusion, but he let Fei Qianchi do as he wished.

Before he knew it, Fei Qianchi had already pushed him down onto the bed, hovering above the man.

Fei Qianchi wasn't going to take it far. It was simply kissing for now. He had to think about settling their roles first.

Fei Qianchi was aggressive, biting and sucking, his tongue moving wildly in Zhu Longwang's mouth. From Fei Qianchi's methods, Zhu Longwang also began to move, syncing along with Fei Qianchi.

There were moans in the room, slight gasps, the tension hot and passionate.

Outside, Fei Shang's ears slightly reddened. "Lord of Suzhou, let's leave for the moment. It seems that they have a lot to catch up on."

Zhu Luishui furrowed his brows, wanting to go see his brother, but he stopped himself. In the end, he could only nod his head and walk away with Fei Shang, not knowing what was happening in the room.

In the room, the passion within slowly faded. As Fei Qianchi opened his eyes, he stared into Zhu Longwang's flaming eyes, passionate and filled with love. The man's eyes were red, perhaps from the intense session.

As Fei Qianchi pulled away, he looked at Zhu Longwang's red and swollen lips, the man shyly looking away. He couldn't help but chuckle, sending butterflies into Zhu Longwang's stomach.

"Did I do this to you when I slept with you?" Fei Qianchi teasingly asked, falling down next to the man's side, turning and looking at Zhu Longwang's face.

Zhu Longwang's pale cheeks reddened, his lips tightening as his eyes evaded Fei Qianchi's gaze. "Did you also find out about that?"

Fei Qianchi smiled, moving a piece of hair from Zhu Longwang's face and brushing it to the side. "Yes, I found out about that. Now, I feel like a fool for not realizing what I had done to you." He softly caressed the man's scar. "Is there a way to make up for everything I had done to you?"

At these words, Zhu Longwang's cold face couldn't hide the flush upon it. His eyes looked away, as if he was afraid to meet Fei Qianchi's eyes.

"Longwang, look at me." Fei Qianchi couldn't bear to see Zhu Longwang evading his eyes. The man had done nothing wrong, instead, it was him who should be ashamed.

Very slowly, Zhu Longwang moved his line of sight towards Fei Qianchi, staring into the man's blue eyes. He could see the intense love that seemingly poured out from the man's eyes, sending a wave of panic within him. That day, he would always remember. He always remembered the man's hot fingers, his gentle touches, the way he softly whispered.

The man had set upon a fire within him that night, he couldn't refuse the man's advances. Even as he knew that the man was drunk, that it was wrong, he couldn't help but lose himself against the man's passion. He let the man do as he wished because in that moment, his selfish desires took control of him.

"No, it was me. I wanted it too. It didn't hurt me." Zhu Longwang's voice was meek, talking about that day, that night of passion. His eyes shyly looked down, the embarrassment showing on his ears now as they flushed red.

Hearing this, Fei Qianchi couldn't help it as his heart skipped harder. This man... he was just too cute.

Fei Qianchi leaned forward, giving Zhu Longwang a gentle kiss, just a mere touch before backing away. "Is your body alright?"

Zhu Longwang's body had basically been frozen in time. It wouldn't be too weird if his muscles were still stiff.

Zhu Longwang shook his head, the flush on his face slowly residing and disappearing. The cold expression on his face was still there, but his eyes were bright and held more emotions within them now. "I believe that I should be alright." As if to prove his words, he moved his hands and his legs, shifting them around for Fei Qianchi to see.

"Here, let's try standing first." Fei Qianchi stood up, carefully helping Zhu Longwang out of the bed.

As he stared at the man's small frame, he realized that the man was very slender. Though Zhu Longwang was tall, his body did not have as much muscles as Fei Qianchi did.

Thinking about their positions in bed before, Fei Qianchi had no preference. He did not stick to one role, he switched when he felt like it. Though he preferred to top, in the worlds before, he had bottomed so it wouldn't be hard. If Zhu Longwang wanted to switch positions, he wouldn't mind.

Zhu Longwang grabbed onto Fei Qianchi's hand, hoisting himself off of the bed. He had always known that Fei Qianchi was just a bit taller than he was. Their body frames were similar before, but Fei Qianchi had grown some more muscles on his body now.

As Fei Qianchi helped Zhu Longwang, the man slightly stumbled as he stood upon his bare feet. Luckily, they had already moved out of the cave and situated Zhu Longwang into a normal room, thus, the ground was wood.

"Are you feeling alright?" Fei Qianchi asked, slightly lifting his brows with a grin on his face, teasing the other man.

Zhu Longwang looked away as he gripped tightly onto the hand in his, "Yes." He couldn't match Fei Qianchi's shamelessness. Even back then, though the man was often called kind and gentle, he was also playful towards him.

As they walked around the room, Zhu Longwang's stiff muscles gradually became better, his movements no longer looking so stiff.

Seeing that Zhu Longwang could walk without any stiffness in his muscles, Fei Qianchi brushed his fingers through Zhu Longwang's hair, making the man turn to look back at him. "Shall we go for a walk?" Fei Qianchi asked, softly flicking the man's forehead.

Zhu Longwang's lips twitched as he suppressed his smile, but was unable to. A small smile lined his lips as he nodded, "Yes, let's go."

Fei Qianchi held tightly onto Zhu Longwang's hand, not letting go. He wasn't afraid. His temperaments from all the worlds were blending together. He was not kind and gentle, nor was he cruel and evil. He was just him. He was Fei Qianchi. Fei Qianchi didn't feel the need in carrying an old personality from the past, it was not the current him. Thus, he was more free in his emotions.

As Fei Qianchi led Zhu Longwang out, the man looked at his tall figure. He was different. Zhu Longwang could easily tell. The man no longer withheld from his emotions, he was more free in revealing them. But, Zhu Longwang liked this. He felt happier seeing Fei Qianchi act like this.

The mountain was quiet and desolate with few people upon it. There were a few maids upon this mountain, but that was the extent of it. This peak was secluded deeply from the rest of Fushui Secr, it was quiet and reserved.

Thick bamboos forests surrounded the mountain, a few lakes and ponds with clear water.

As Zhu Longwang looked around, he asked, "What happened to Taohua Peak?" The man's eyes gazed around, looking at the unfamiliar place.

Fei Qianchi felt his smile freeze for a bit. "Ever since Baicheng became the new Sect Leader, things have changed greatly. Lord of Suzhou took residence on a different peak. This peak is farther away from the Fushui Sect's main peak, thus, it is safer and out of Baicheng's eyes."

Hearing Su Baicheng's name being brought up, Zhu Longwang noticeably became colder. Yet, he sighed in the end, shaking his head. "I know that between my brother and him, there is a story that I haven't been told. Truthfully, it's frustrating to not know, but I also know that their story will be too complicated." Zhu Longwang whispered, slowly walking. His hand tightened around Fei Qianchi's, interlocking their fingers together.

Watching Zhu Longwang, Fei Qianchi couldn't disagree with his words. The man was right. Even after Fei Qianchi understood the history between Su Baicheng and Zhu Luishui, it was hard to understand how the both of them ended up like this. Perhaps, some things could have been changed, but in the end, it couldn't escape this bleak point.

"Let's go see your brother, I'm sure that he has been waiting for you. I have already took up enough of your time now." Fei Qianchi switched the topic, smiling brightly. He raised his left hand, fixing Zhu Longwang's hair and setting it into place.

Zhu Longwang stood in place for Fei Qianchi before he walked with the man. As he looked down, he caught the pendant that dangled from Fei Qianchi's hip. The pendant still looked the same, exactly like when he had made it and when he had given it to Fei Qianchi.

His purple eyes couldn't help but gaze at Fei Qianchi, who was in front of him, pulling him. All these centuries, all the pain he had faced, when it came to the end, it was worth it. It was worth everything just to see the man by his side smiling, to see the man's bright eyes filled with love.

Zhu Longwang smiled, his eyes slightly tearing up. This man was worth everything in this world. From now on, this man was his. And he also belonged to this man.
