Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

March 7th gazed at Xuan Ge from close range, her eyes full of amazement, her breathing even subconsciously growing lighter.

His brows and eyes were gentle, his temperament warm and mellow; his whole body carried not the slightest sense of oppression, but rather exuded a strength that put one at ease.

No wonder Xing kept clamoring to replace Xing Xiao's position as Xing Fei.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xuan Ge lowered his eyes, looking at Chang Ye Yue with the highlight in her red pupils, staring straight at him like this.

Following the karmic thread, he understood in an instant — the one controlling this body right now is the future March 7th.

Since Chang Ye Yue has handed this opportunity to him, he naturally must seize it well, to leave a good impression in the heart of the future March 7th.

March 7th's heart shook; she suddenly discovered she could actually control this body.

But the obsession in her heart made her unwilling to let go — on one side, shyness facing Xuan Ge; on the other, irrepressible expectation.

She hovered between the two emotions, her heart beating so fast it nearly burst from her chest.

Her brain heated up, and fearing she would keep Xuan Huang waiting too long, March 7th mustered all her courage and spoke in a thin, soft voice:

"You're good-looking.... I.... I... like you..."

'Xuan Huang?'

Xuan Ge caught the words "Xuan Huang" from the karmic thread at the first moment; a flash of laughter flickered in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly.

It seems, in the future he ultimately succeeds.

Seeing Xuan Ge not only didn't disdain her foolish appearance but actually showed a smile, March 7th instantly rallied her courage and tentatively spoke.

But just as she uttered the "Huang" character, a bone-piercing chill instantly swept through her whole body, making her hair stand on end.

That feeling was as if merely speaking the two words "Emperor" aloud would tear her apart in the surging River of Time — terrifying to the extreme.

Seeing this, Xuan Ge immediately acted, mobilizing the power of the Hunt, gently wrapping around March 7th, stabilizing her state of reaching from the future into the present timeline.

Seeing March 7th's expression gradually calm and her state become stable, only then did he speak softly:

"Just call me by my name; right now, I'm merely an ordinary Divine Might General."

March 7th slowly came back to her senses, feeling Xuan Ge's power warmly enveloping her.

That fear originating from the bottom of her heart — of Xuan Huang "killing on the spot and exterminating the whole clan" — unknowingly dissipated by more than half.

"General~"

March 7th took a deep breath, calling out softly, her tone full of reliance.

"I'm here."

Just two short words, gentle yet firm, like a warm current instantly flowing into the bottom of March 7th's heart, making her incomparably at ease.

Xuan Ge supported March 7th, walking to the stone bench in the courtyard and sitting down.

He picked up the teapot and poured her a cup of clear tea.

March 7th watched the superior bearing revealed in his every gesture, and moreover he possessed a whole husband-material vibe.

March 7th's mental defenses completely collapsed; she fell in an instant....

"You probably have many things you want to ask me; why not drink this cup of tea first, think it over properly, and speak slowly."

Xuan Ge handed the teacup before March 7th, watching her carefully receive it with both hands, and couldn't help being amused.

This girl, just how afraid of me is she?

Sensing Xuan Ge's amusement, March 7th's cheeks instantly flushed red; she hurriedly avoided his gaze, lowered her head, and lightly sipped the clear tea.

One mouthful of tea down the throat, the clear sweetness spread across the tip of her tongue, and her eyes instantly brightened as she said softly:

"So good to drink~ a bit sweet~"

She savored it carefully; this taste was similar to the Shen Wu specialty Fruit Drink she liked to drink, only the tea flavor was richer.

She lowered her head to look at the teacup in her hand, her pupils suddenly contracting violently.

The reflection in the teacup showed herself with red pupils — a completely different person from her usual self.

"Don't be afraid, this is all you."

Seeing this, Xuan Ge reached out, lightly grasped March 7th's hand holding the teacup, slowly pressed the teacup down, his tone carrying a soothing intent:

"Whether it's the you with red pupils, or the everyday you, both are the truest you."

Hearing these words, March 7th's brain nearly overloaded....

March 7th rallied her courage, lifted her head, looked at Xuan Ge with determined eyes, her gaze full of expectation: "General~ you know my past, right?"

She wanted to know her lost memories too much.

Just what kind of past did she have, that it would cause her amnesia...

And she especially wanted to know what kind of relationship she and Xuan Ge actually had.

"Your past, I know, and it was learned from your own mouth."

Xuan Ge gently exerted force, pulling March 7th into his arms, his movements gentle and careful.

March 7th's delicate body went soft, not the slightest resistance, obediently leaning in his embrace, feeling his warm hold.

"The past cannot be reclaimed; if you only keep looking backward, you will never walk out of the shadows."

Xuan Ge lightly patted her back, softly comforting the March 7th in his arms, "It was to protect you that she chose to let you forget those painful pasts; you should look forward."

In his view, Chang Ye Yue was domineering and coldly indifferent, yet March 7th was foolishly, very cute; both appearances, he liked extraordinarily.

He never stinted on giving his true heart to those he liked; as long as the other party also had feelings for him, he would use actions to respond, to protect.

"General...."

March 7th opened her mouth, wanting to ask, wanting to ask whether that "Moon Empress" was really said to her.

"Time's up, time to go back."

Xuan Ge lightly interrupted her words, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness, and also a hint of hope.

Although letting March 7th know everything in advance could count as a kind of protection for her, this protection also hid hidden dangers.

Chang Ye Yue had not yet formally met March 7th, and March 7th had also not yet truly faced her own heart.

At this time, it should not be him who disturbs March 7th's state of mind.

He hoped March 7th could happily follow the Astral Express crew to explore Huan Yu, to slowly find herself again, rather than be bound by the past.

"No~!"

March 7th anxiously shook her head, reaching out wanting to grab Xuan Ge's sleeve, her tone full of reluctance, "I don't want to go back, I haven't properly said goodbye to you yet...."

"What no?" Xing Xiao looked at March 7th strangely.

March 7th suddenly opened her eyes, shouting a loud "No".

Her face still carried a lingering blush and reluctance.

Xing Xiao couldn't help but tease: "You wouldn't have had another spring dream, would you?"

"I... I'm back?"

March 7th blankly looked around at her surroundings, looking at the familiar Tai Bu Si, then looked at the God's Eye beneath her feet.

Only then did she realize she had already returned from the memories of the past.

"Yeah, you finally came back." Fu Xuan crossed her arms, looking at March 7th with a speechless expression.

"During the time you stood here 'asleep', you unconsciously smiled several times, that smile, just like you encountered your Prince Charming, foolish beyond belief."

"Right right right!" Xing Xiao immediately agreed repeatedly, leaning close to March 7th's face, her eyes curiously sizing her up and down.

Xiao Hui Mao got into a mischievous mood, then asked with a wicked grin, "Come clean, did you do something only adults can do with Xuan Ge?"

"No way~~" March 7th immediately retorted, her cheeks instantly turning red enough to drip blood, her voice tiny like a mosquito's buzz, lacking confidence.

"Then why do you look so lost?" Xing Xiao single-handedly stroked her chin, leaning her face even closer.

Her eyes full of an 'I've seen through you long ago' determination: "Spit it out, is there something you're hiding from us?"

"Speak, did you see Xuan Huang? This matter I have to report up." Fu Xuan also leaned in, deliberately putting on a stern face, telling a small lie.

Where would she report it up, it was just wanting to gossip a bit, listen to what happened between March 7th and Xuan Ge.

March 7th was successfully bluffed by Fu Xuan's words, face red, stammering: "Saw... saw...."

"Did what?" Xing Xiao and Fu Xuan looked at each other, asking in unison, the gossip in their eyes practically overflowing.

"Aiya~ nothing at all~!"

March 7th was ashamed beyond measure, hurriedly reaching out to push away the two people crowding her face, retreating a few steps, both hands tightly covering her face, even her earlobes red through.

Fu Xuan and Xing Xiao looked at each other again, once more speaking in unison, tone determined:

"Something's wrong, absolutely something's wrong!"

PS: The good-looking chapters are gone, everyone hurry up and thank Shenhe-daren.
