Chapter 274 He came from the future
“Duan Xiaolou?” He Danggui was dumbfounded for a while. She suddenly thought that since she was going to die anyway, she could lie to Meng Xuan. In this way, he would not think of the evil Zhu Quan when he remembered her, and he would not revenge her on Zhu Quan... Oddly, why would Meng Xuan revenge her? He and her were obviously two strange souls met by chance. They had different identities, and he was out of her reach.
He Danggui lowered her head and lied, “Yes, in my previous life, I inadvertently saved Duan Xiaolou’s mother who was lost and injured. She was grateful to me and asked her son Duan Xiaolou to accept me as a concubine. However, Duan Xiaolou was very busy with work, and there were so many pretty women in his mansion, so he didn’t notice me.”
“What happened later?” Meng Xuan asked.
He Danggui lowered her head more. She made up her mind to show Meng Xuan her “donkey’s ears” at first. How could she give up halfway? She murmured, “Later, I ran into Duan Xiaolou in the mansion and we left a very good impression on each other, but I didn’t know that he was my husband at that time. A month later, I became seriously ill due to unrequited love. When I was dying, I finally met my husband, and I realized that he was the man I secretly admired. He and I felt sorry for this and we agreed to continue our relationship in the next life.”
Meng Xuan was silent for a while, and said, “Xiaoyi, your relationship with him was over in your previous life. It is impossible for you to be together in this life. You will get it in the near future.” He raised his hand to stroke her little hairy head, and said softly, “You and I will be a couple in this life, and I will always treat you well.”
Hearing that, He Danggui asked in amazement, “I have been killed by Shangguan Ming Ri with steel whip, haven’t I? There is no future for me.” These should be her last words.
Meng Xuan explained to her, “Your spirit has entered the ‘Qizhen Fantasy Dream’ of others. It refers to the old story that happened many years ago. Although the characters in the dream are real and lively, they are just in people’s memories. How can a person in the memory really kill you? In the ‘Qizhen Fantasy Dream’, others can’t see you, but you can see them. Besides, they can’t hit you, but you can hit them.”
He Danggui thought for a while and questioned, “Not everyone can be hit. There was one person I want to hit the most. I threw something at my hand, but the object always directly passed through his body, and he didn’t even notice it.”
Meng Xuan thought about it and speculated, “Probably because his spirit is in the same dream. Although you didn’t hit him, you could damage his spirit with the same strength. Xiaoyi, who do you want to hit? Tell me, I’ll help you.”
“Meng Xuan, are you not lying to me? Am I still alive?” He Danggui suddenly regretted to tell him her secrets. The deepest secret should be hidden in her heart. Now, she suspected that Meng Xuan... Was he a trustworthy friend?
Moreover, she questioned, “I could clearly feel the strong wind blowing from the enemy’s whip just now, and it hurt my face. Finally, the steel whip hit me head-on, and I fell into a coma. People in ‘Qizhen Fantasy Dream’ can beat me. I felt it. How can I be alive now?”
Meng Xuan looked at her immature and serious face. He suddenly held her like holding a child. He lifted her to the same height as him, and stared at her thoughtful black eyes. He said softly, “Girl, after this dream, you come to me quickly. No matter what you want to do, just tell me, I will do everything for you. I’m sure. As early as six years ago, I thought the same thing.”
“Six years ago?” It was weird that the small He Danggui was sitting on Meng Xuan’s forearm. She stretched out a small hand to touch Meng Xuan’s forehead, and said with a smile, “Ha, nonsense! We knew each other only three years ago. When we first met, I thought you was a robber of Zhenqi, and dealt with you with poisonous needles. Don’t you remember?”
Suddenly, Meng Xuan held her tightly in his arms. He rubbed her tender face with his cheek and closed his eyes to feel her sweet and tempting smell. Then he said quickly, “Girl, now I am just a wisp of spirit. I won’t stay here long. I’ll make a long story short. Listen carefully. I’m not who I am now. I come from the future. I am Meng Xuan, or Meng Shenshi three years later. I was sent back by a man with great magic power.”
“Meng Shenshi?” He Danggui tilted her head, and her pigtail fell on Meng Xuan’s face. This name seemed to be familiar to her. Then she reacted slowly and exclaimed, “From the future? Meng Xuan three years later?”
“Yeah.” Meng Xuan said while pulling her pigtail away. Then he moved closer to her, “My courtesy name was ‘Shenshyr’ originally, but in order to match your courtesy name ‘Qingyi’, I changed it. I’m ‘Shenshi’ now. Of course, these are things that happened three years later. I know it’s difficult to convince you, but the time we meet is very short and may be interrupted at any time. Just now, you said so many things that you have never told me before. I really want to know everything about you, so I didn’t interrupt you and spent a lot of time. Xiaoyi, we are now in the seventh stage of Qizhen Fantasy Dream. Only people who are destined in the past can meet here. I hope you will keep this in mind. Remember, I am your destined man.”
“The seventh stage?” He Danggui frowned, because she seemed to hear it from Bai Yangbai.
Meng Xuan gently stroked her eyebrows and smiled, “In the seventh stage, we will change our original appearance and become what we were in a certain stage of childhood. The seventh stage is also called the ‘happy stage’, and we will become what we were in our happiest age of childhood. You went back to seven years old. It can be seen that you are happiest and most carefree at this time, and I became eleven because I met you this year. Xiaoyi, I have fallen in love with you since I was eleven, and I have never changed my mind.”
He Danggui lowered her small head and asked softly, “Why do you like me? I have more shortcomings than strengths. I have a lot of troubles. Sometimes even I hate myself a little bit, and I don’t like you at all. I only regard you as a trustworthy friend.”
“You do,” said Meng Xuan affirmatively, “you have been in relationship with me in three years. If you have no affection for me, how can you be my woman?”
“You and me?” He Danggui looked at Meng Xuan suspiciously with her eyes opened wide. “You trick me. How can you come from the future? And three years later? You’re joking.” How could there be such a miracle in the world? In the fantasy dream, Meng Xuan from three years later told her that they were together in three years. How could it be?
Meng Xuan said sternly, “I went through many hardships to go back three years ago and reach the seventh stage. How could I do these only for lying to you? Xiaoyi, you know, I never lie to you. I tell everything to you. I live only for you in this life.”
He whispered honey words in her ears, which made her a little uncomfortable. She pushed his head away, turned her face and asked, “Why don’t you just stay in three years? What are you going to do? Since we are together in three years, then you should say these things to me in three years.” She did not go through the process and was suddenly told that she had married Meng Xuan. Even if it was true, she couldn’t accept it for a while.
Meng Xuan sighed and explained the whole story, “After two and a half years, you will become my concubine. We are inseparable and enviable. I plan to ask my mother to allow you to be my wedded wife after we have a baby. However, I was plotted against by a woman, er, and had a child with her. When she was in the fourth month of pregnancy, my mother heard about it and took her to Meng’s Mansion as my concubine. In addition to you and her, I have three other concubines, all of whom were arranged by my families before I met you. At that time, the Emperor decreed to have me marry Infanta Xiancao, who is from the Mansion of Princess Lin’an, as my wedded wife. The Emperor’s order can’t be violated, so I married with Infanta Xiancao.”
He Danggui quietly heard the story that would happen in the future. Then she counted with her fingers and said, “Five concubines and one wife... You only need one more concubine to achieve your life goal. You live so well, huh? Why do you come to me and tell me about these?” He Danggui thought, “Is he not afraid that after hearing these things, she won’t marry him from the beginning?”
Meng Xuan’s voice suddenly became sad, “Xiaoyi, you are special, and your temperament will not change at any time.‘Five concubines and one wife... You only need one more concubine to achieve your life goal. You live so well, huh? Why do you come to me and tell me about these?’ These are the last sentences you said to me. The next day I got married with Infanta Xiancao, I went to the attic to see you early in the morning, but you had gone. I looked for you madly, using all my strength to inquire about your whereabouts, and trying my best to force you to come to me, but you contested with me for three months, and refused to meet me.”
He Danggui lowered her head and said nothing. That seemed to be something she would do. Based on this, Meng Xuan might really come from three years later. She rolled her eyes and asked, “Three years later, how many people in the Second Branch of Luo’s Family have died?”
Meng Xuan was immersed in endless sorrow. When he suddenly heard such an insignificant question, he was stunned for a moment before answering honestly, “None is dead. They are all alive.”
“What? Are all of them alive?” He Danggui was a little disappointed. Three years later, she had not killed them yet unexpectedly.
Meng Xuan straightened her small face and leaned close to her. He flattened his nose against hers, and said sadly, “Xiaoyi, I don’t believe you have never loved me. When we were passionately in love, you did not separate from me all the time. When I went to war, you dressed up as a dogface, followed me and packed up my tent. But you are so heartless to suddenly turn hostile. I can’t find you in three years, so I came here to ask you. Why do you treat me this way? Do you love me or not?”
