Yuyan said, “In addition, one can go back to the past and witness everything they have experienced.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun trembled with excitement, “Yuyan, is what you said true?”
“Husband, this is just a legend, and I can’t confirm its truth,” Yuyan said with an expression filled with hope. “If it is true, then…”
“Even if we go back to the past and can’t change anything, it would still be good to accompany our parents and loved ones.”
Yuyan's words struck a chord in Tan Yun's heart. He seemed to think of something, tears shimmering in his starry eyes.
“Husband, whether the legend is true or not, we will know once we become the Ancestral King and ascend to the Supreme Ancestor Realm.” Yuyan said, “If the ancient legend is true, what would you most want to do?”
Deep longing was reflected in Tan Yun’s tearful eyes, “If it’s true, I have so many things I want to do.”
“I want to go back to the past and say sorry to my parents and loved ones from the eternal cycle of reincarnation. They are all innocent; because of my curse, they lost their lives.”
“If the legend is true, I would return to the past and honor them properly until I could support them in their old age.”
“If the legend is true, I want to go back to the past with you and witness everything we went through in the previous universe.”
“And there are just so many more things.”
“If the legend is true and we could go back to the past, how wonderful that would be.”
Yuyan nodded her delicate head, “Mm.”
“Yuyan, I can hardly wait to go to the Supreme Ancestor Realm,” Tan Yun said, clenching his fists.
“So can I.” Yuyan smiled gently, nestled in Tan Yun’s embrace, and softly said, “Husband, you haven’t spent quality time with me yet. Can we not talk about these unattainable things?”
“Okay.” Under the starry sky, Tan Yun wrapped his arms around Yuyan and whispered in her ear, “How about we make a bed of heaven and earth?”
Yuyan was taken aback for a moment, then understood the meaning behind Tan Yun's words. Suddenly, her cheeks flushed under the bright moonlight.
It’s worth noting that since last life, even though Yuyan and Tan Yun were husband and wife in name, they had never actually consummated their marriage.
Listening to Tan Yun’s blunt words, her heart raced.
She coyly shook her delicate head, “It’s possible, but you have to win against me first.”
“Let’s do this; I’ll come up with an upper verse, and you can respond with a lower verse. If you can’t match it, I won’t… I won’t let you bully me.”
Hearing this, Tan Yun laughed, “Alright, it’s a deal, and you can’t go back on your word.”
“Mm.” Yuyan nodded her delicate head.
“You go ahead,” Tan Yun said with a chuckle.
“Listen carefully, husband.” Yuyan parted her lips, and her heavenly voice rang out, “Since you mentioned a bed made by heaven, I’ll start with heaven.”
“Heaven makes the chessboard, stars make the pieces, sun and moon compete for brilliance.”
Upon hearing this, Tan Yun slightly furrowed his brows.
“Are you stumped?” Yuyan teased.
“Well, I can’t say I’m stumped,” Tan Yun said confidently. “I respond with, thunder as drums, lightning as flags, wind and clouds meet.”
Upper verse: Heaven makes the chessboard, stars make the pieces, sun and moon compete for brilliance.
Lower verse: Thunder as drums, lightning as flags, wind and clouds meet.
Tan Yun’s response was truly exquisite!
“Let’s do another round,” Yuyan smiled and said, “If you can answer twice, I’ll concede.”
“Okay.” Tan Yun excitedly blew in Yuyan’s ear, “I can hardly wait.”
“Annoying!” Yuyan rolled her eyes at Tan Yun, then her expression turned serious. Listening to the sound of the wind passing by, the distant waterfall, and the chirping of birds, she gently opened her lips, “Husband, listen carefully.”
“Sound of wind, sound of water, sound of insects, all things sound, no sound is silent.”
