1503 Xiu Mei

Seeing Meixiu's beautiful face lying right next to him, Yuan pondered if he should tell her about her incarnation as Xiu Mei

—that they'd been together in their previous lives.

'Since Li Jinxi and Chu Liuxiang are already beginning to recall their past life memories, it wouldn't be weird if Meixiu is also doing the same…'

As far as he knew, Meixiu could've already recalled all of her memories and was simply waiting for him.

The reason he didn't outright tell Li Jinxi and Chu Liuxiang about their past lives was that he didn't want to force the memories upon them. Since they were already beginning to recall their pasts on their own, he saw no need to hasten the natural process, as it could potentially backfire.

After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke, "During my life as the Evil God, I had a wife…"

"We've known each other and been together since childhood. We had a child. She was my everything, and her name was Xiu Mei. Unfortunately, I was unable to protect her, and she was murdered, along with our unborn child."

"Because of her death, I went on a rampage and killed countless people, not to mention the atrocities I've committed. When I get the chance, I am going to apologize to her."

Meixiu felt a weird sensation in her chest when she heard the name Xiu Mei.

"When you get the chance? I thought she passed away?" Meixiu asked in a puzzled tone.

"Reincarnation is not unique to me. Unless their soul is shattered, everyone who dies will eventually be reincarnated. The only difference between them and me is our ability to remember our past lives, and there are other people other than me who can remember their past."

"There are others? How do you know that?"

"Because two of them live among us."

"Huh? Who?" Meixiu was surprised to hear this and immediately became curious.

"Li Jinxi and Lulu, but they don't remember everything and are still in the process. They also don't know that I know, so keep this a secret for me until they decide to tell us."

Meixiu nodded and mumbled, "So they also recall their past life… I wonder what my past life was like."

Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you want to know?"

"Hm? You know my past life?" she stared at him with wide eyes.

He silently acknowledged with a nod.

Meixiu swallowed nervously and spoke, "Don't tell me… Xiu Mei…"

"What makes you think that?" Yuan was slightly surprised by her intuition.

"Just a feeling. I was right?"

He nodded, "Yes… you were my wife when I was still the Evil God."

Meixiu fell silent.

'To think things would turn out like this… is this a coincidence, or are we bound by fate?' she wondered inwardly, feeling blissful knowing that she was also with Yuan in their past life.

"Are you okay?" Yuan asked when she remained silent, wondering if it was too shocking for her.

"Yes… I am just a little surprised by this information, and I'm not sure how to respond to it. However, I can say that I am very happy that you told me. Even if I might never remember it myself, I bet the time I spent with you was incredibly blissful. By the way, how do you know that it was my past life?"

"For starters, you look exactly the same as Xiu Mei. Moreover, those around me in this life seem to have a close connection with me in my past life."

"Hm? Does this mean Lulu is also…?"

"Yes. Li Jinxi, too. However, they are not related to the Evil God but my other incarnations instead."

Meixiu wore a bewildered look on her face. This information shocked her more than her own reincarnation.

"Exactly how many past lives have you lived?" she couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, but I have memories of seven so far."

"S-seven?! That's a lot!"

"If you consider how long this universe has existed, living seven lives isn't that shocking." Yuan chuckled.

"Any questions?"

After a moment of silence, she asked, "What was our daily life like?"

"Before our marriage or after?"

"Both."

"Then I'll start from when we first met. Prepare yourself since this will take the entire night."

Thus, Yuan spent the rest of the night recalling his memories with Xiu Mei to Meixiu.

Meixiu would ask questions here and there.

"Was Xiu Mei on birth control pills? Why did it take so long for her to become pregnant?"

"Not that I was aware of. It's unlikely, though, since she was always excited to have a child. Also, things work differently for female cultivators in general when it comes to giving birth. Due to the spiritual energy in their body, not only is it harder to become pregnant, but the time it takes for the child to come out also differs. So, while a mortal typically gives birth after nine months of pregnancy, it could take years for a female cultivator to give birth. The difference is even larger for cultivators with a stronger cultivation."

"Is that so…" Meixiu muttered with a pondering look on her face.

"Are you interested? In having a child…" Yuan suddenly asked her.

"Eh? N-no!" Meixiu hastily responded before continuing, "I mean… I don't particularly care. Do you want one? Considering that you never saw your child in your past life, I wouldn't be surprised if you have the desire for one. So… if you want one… I won't refuse…"

Yuan chuckled, "While it's true that I have the desire to have a child, that desire belongs to Tian Xian. As for myself… I still think I am too young for one, not to mention all of the ongoing changes in the world. Perhaps once everything settles down…"

"If you say so." Meixiu nodded.

The following day, Yuan returned to Cultivation Online. Meanwhile, Meixiu went to find Wang Xiuying.

"How can I help you, Meixiu?"

"You're an Alchemist, correct? Do you know if there are any pills for birth control?"

"Huh? Birth control pills? Of course. Why are you—" A cheeky smile appeared on Wang Xiuying's face as she came to a realization.

"Do you want me to concoct you some? A single one will last for an entire year."

"They last that long?" Meixiu said in a surprised tone. "How effective are they?"

"Pretty much one hundred percent effectiveness. However, there is an extremely tiny chance that one could still be impregnated. That said, it's so small that it can be ignored."

"Do you mind making me some? I'll pay for them," Meixiu said, as she was getting tired of consuming the typical birth control pills that required her to eat them daily, causing her to leave Cultivation Online constantly.

In fact, she missed a few days because she was too absorbed in her training in Cultivation Online. Fortunately, it had been some time since she last embraced Yuan.

'If I want to train properly without any distractions, these pills are a necessity.' Meixiu thought to herself.

"You don't need to pay me. These pills are cheap and easy to make. I'll have them ready in an hour." Wang Xiuying said.

Meixiu nodded.

"Thank you."

After Meixiu left her room, Wang Xiuying mumbled to herself, "Should I make some for Chu Liuxiang as well?"
