Huo Tianzun heard Qianxun’s words, a smile tugged at the corners of his lips, and in the next instant, he clasped the back of Qianxun’s head and kissed her deeply.
Though he never remembered kissing any girl in his memory, strangely, when he met her, everything seemed instinctive, kissing was not just mere talk.
Qianxun was also eagerly responding to him, her arms wrapped around his neck.
Not until Qianxun’s lips and tongue felt numb did Huo Tianzun finally let her go, then softly said, "You’re right, feelings don’t lie."
The first time they met, she was still so chubby that, in modern times, she would be considered ugly.
Yet he was still attracted by her eyes, which was unprecedented.
If he was indeed the reincarnation of Emperor Xia, then it wouldn’t be surprising that his obsession in his reincarnated life was to find Qianxun.
After all, Emperor Xia had explicitly made it known in the history books that everything he did was to find Qianxun.
For an emperor of all ages to have the history books record such a matter shows how deeply he loved Qianxun.
Qianxun smiled when she heard this, and at that moment, Huo Tianzun stretched out his arm and turned on the light again.
The light turned on, and Qianxun’s eyes appeared before him, brimming with deep affection and slightly red, making Huo Tianzun unable to resist bending down and kissing her eyelashes, "From now on, I will never make you cry."
At these words, Qianxun immediately showed a smile, "Mhm, I believe you."
Huo Tianzun looked at her smile, felt relaxed, and then said, "Can you tell me where you actually went?"
He knew that her talk of past life memories was not that simple.
Hearing Huo Tianzun’s words, Qianxun sniffed and said, "You know about Mo Tianji, right?"
"The State Preceptor by Emperor Xia’s side?" Huo Tianzun said.
He naturally knew of him, as Emperor Xia’s history had prominent mentions of this person.
Apparently, Mo Tianji was the State Preceptor of the Xia Dynasty, an expert in astronomy, geography, military strategy, and tactics, with the ability to foresee destiny and powerful mana.
It was under his guidance that Emperor Xia expanded the territory of ancient Huaxia by more than double.
However, after Emperor Xia died, he disappeared.
Mentioning Mo Tianji made Qianxun immediately grit her teeth with hatred, "It was him! It was this guy who took advantage of my weakened mana when I tried to save you and sealed me inside his Magic Artifact, Jade Glaze!"
With that, Qianxun yanked the Jade Glaze that was hanging around her neck again and threw it onto the bed.
"This Jade Glaze somehow ended up on Su Qianxun, and after she was beaten to death, her blood broke the seal, and I was able to appear! Who knew that by the time I came out, it was already a thousand years later." Qianxun said through clenched teeth.
Were it not for their fortunate reunion, and the obsession of Yanzhi acting up, they might have completely missed each other!
Hearing this, Huo Tianzun immediately realized.
For a moment, he stared intently at the Jade Glaze on the bed, then said gravely, "So, you mean to say... you were actually by my side all along?"
Now, how could he not understand what was going on?
The history books stated that Mo Tianji claimed that the Favored Concubine Qianxun was akin to Daji by the side of King Zhou of Shang, urging Emperor Xia either to execute or expel her from the palace.
But Emperor Xia would not agree.
Later, Emperor Xia went on a campaign and was seriously injured, saved by Mo Tianji, and from then on Qianxun disappeared.
Looking back now, the truth seems to be that Qianxun saved Emperor Xia, while Mo Tianji took the opportunity to seal Qianxun away, and then used the pretext of searching for Qianxun to incite Emperor Xia to expand the territory.
Mo Tianji indeed helped build Emperor Xia’s great accomplishments, but if Emperor Xia knew that everything was Mo Tianji’s doing, he would probably have wanted to strangle him.
