LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 430 Fei Lian's Memory

What happened that day?

Xing reminisced the happenings of that day in the Heavenly Council and her heart ached.

The G.o.ds weren't that pleased when she suggested that she won't be dealing her powers.

She explained, "I don't trust you people as much as you don't trust me with my powers. I have angered the G.o.d of death and I am not willing to give up my powers", and she was adament. they seemed to understand but still didn't budge.

"Didn't you say Chenglei has three more lives left? I trade those lives for my powers, in this life ", she asked with guts.

"How could you do this trade for someone else?", the G.o.d of fate interfered. Its not enough she has changed his fate this life, she is willing to deprive him of his next lives?

His next life is the life of a monarch and it is where he will meet his one true love. But this one changed his fate and...

May be it is fine if he doesn't have future lives?

Even the G.o.d of fate got confused and got to a dilemma, which Xing didn't know when she stood there persistent.

" Someone else? Who asked for MY permission when the G.o.d of fire cheated a deal out of MY HUSBAND making him forget me by making him believe that I was dead when I obviously wasn't? And my husband hurt that pervert G.o.d by ruining his kingdom. How can I trust my husband with that G.o.d? What if he retaliated? ", she stood there unmoved stressing she is deciding for her husband agreed upon by the G.o.d of marriage,making the Heavenly Emperor's face blacken.

Zhu Rong shouldn't have lied involving their Prince and the same logic of a husband's right to decide for his wife can be used conversely too.

" You have helped out our realm in many cases. And we will reward you for that. Your husband will have no more lives and you will be free to not seal your powers but I forbid you to pa.s.s it on. You will choose the day you die and neither you or your husband will have to meet the G.o.d of death after you die"

The Heavenly Emperor proclaimed and it was noted as a law.

Ooof! That is settled. Chenglei! You will have no other woman than me as your soul mate....

Xing smiled in her heart as she succeeded.

As for the pa.s.sing it on, she knew she cannot carry a child of her own and that need not be worried about for.

But no matter how much she pleaded, they didn't agree to maintain contact with her or allow her to comeback to the Heavenly realm while she is alive.

She could not believe everything going on when she saw Fei Lian kneeling to at least give a farewell hug but he was refused. Mazu was begging to at least allow her to give a gift to her but all contact was forbidden.

Xing who was standing in the middle of that big hall didn't know that saying goodbye to G.o.ds would hurt this much. She always thought that G.o.ds were like the nails in her fingers and if she lose the G.o.ds it would be like clipping her nails... Painless.

But why does it hurt like my nails are being plucked?

Even then the Heavenly Emperor asked her to change her mind. And yet she was unwilling to do so.

Even if she had some sixty or seventy years left to live, she wanted to live it fully and peacefully with Chenglei.

She didn't want to bid farewell to the G.o.ds. But if she have to live the life she wanted, it is mandatory to cut them off of her life and she could harden her heart to do it.

In the end Fei Lian asked permission to take back the protection spell he put on her and he was granted permission.

Xing saw the sparkling eyes of Fei Lian who was walking towards her and she could see him trying to put on a brave face for her.

Unknown to her, tears streamed down from her eyes. She was surprised by a teardrop dropping in the urn she was holding that belonged to Fei Lian. His big hands tried to hold her hands but it was caressing the urn. Xing could feel Fei Lian grieving for her master.

'Is Master really his son? ', she wondered even amidst her sorrow.

As she was wondering about that she felt a cold feeling in her lips and a chill spread through her entire body.

'Is this the spell he put on me when I was a child?', she wondered. She could feel it getting broken. And so was her connection with Fei Lian.

It hurt! Her heart hurt!

But before she could make a sense of anything she felt another small spell in the form of a pill put in her mouth.

All she could get from Fei Lian's expression was to not swallow it now. It should be some spell that would activate once she swallowed the pill and he didn't want others to know about it.

Before she could even acknowledge that she could understand, the Heavenly Emperor's commanding voice was heard,

"With this your connection with our realm is severed. You will be our Prince until you die yet you won't be one of us as your wis.h.!.+"

*Bang*

The next moment she was in the mountains and she could feel the Heavens closing all the portals.

I didn't even say my goodbyes properly!

Xing sat on a rock where she was hugging the urn and took a deep breath but her tears couldn't be controlled.

Her heart that was already hurt by Chenglei's doubtful words broke to s.h.i.+lls as she didn't even get to give a proper farewell to Fei Lian and others who've helped her a lot in times of need.

Unconsciously she swallowed the pill and it seemed to contain parts of memories of Fei Lian.

His first meeting with Mazu, the sweet feeling of first love...

His despair when she was paid with another G.o.d and when she had a child with another G.o.d...

Everything was just a flash but Xing felt what Fei Lian felt at that moment. So that child of Mazu is the ancestor of the Ouyang family, it seemed.

And then there were sometime when he and Mazu get to spend some time together. And then came the war where he was the general and he played a major role in capturing Old Rong.

Xing felt her heart race with all the emotions he felt in the battlefield.

And why is the techniques he used is awfully simar to the techniques Master Yuan taught me? So Fei Lian taught Master?

After the war there was a long peace. And their relations.h.i.+p developed. But three centuries later Mazu was sent to the human realm for a trial as it was mandatory.

The pain of separation made Xing's heart squeeze as she could feel it in her. She knew exactly how it feels. She knew how hard it is.

Mazu didn't incarnate as a human but her powers as a G.o.d were sealed and she was made to forget who she was before she was sent to the human realm and with a different set of memories of her as a human.

Fei Lian was devastated and heartbroken that the Heavenly Emperor forced her to that trial even when he begged him to let her stay with him.

The Heavenly Emperor forced Fei Lian to take Zhu Rong since the Heavens missed a Prince. Apparently a Prince can only be born out of two great G.o.ds. And since wind and fire elements have greater affinity than wind and water elements, which in turn will facilitate the one with the Prince sign to be born, the Heavenly Emperor fixed Zhu Rong as his mate.

Xing could feel Fei Lian's deep love for Mazu turning to longing and to despair and to exasperation.

And it skipped to another day. A pond near the village Xing grew up in...

Mazu was taking a bath and her husband from the human realm as part of her trials was there helping her in doing laundry.

Xing could feel Fei Lian's emotion at that time. A lot of anger, confusion, l.u.s.t and his inability to get her made him lose his rationality for a moment.

'How could some mortal have her and not me?'

Xing could see through Fei Lian's memory, the smile in Mazu's face as she hugged him calling him 'Hubby'

Don't tell me Fei Lian took the form of her husband... Eek! That is.... Not so good, right? Isn't it a.s.sault?

The next scene Xing could see was Fei Lian gently caressing Mazu who was in his embrace and... She was naked.

So he a.s.saulted her? For real?

And the next scene was him getting scolded by the Emperor and was put to confinement for sometime.

What he heard was Mazu gave birth to a baby girl and since her trial ended, she lost all her memory of her life in the human realm and got back to the Heavens.

The child, even though was the product of two G.o.ds didn't have any G.o.dly qualities since Mazu had all her powers sealed and she was practically a human when she gave birth. And so the child was left to live in the human realm and she was denied entry to the Heavenly realm since she was not a G.o.d and she was denied entry to the secret village too since she wasn't a demiG.o.d either.

Fei Lian was released from confinement after he promised their Emperor that he won't ever reveal the fact that Mazu gave birth to his child and also not to help the child in any way.

All Xing could feel the guilt Fei Lian felt as he watched from a distance his child growing up in the human realm as a human's child. That child with hair as dark as a raven and eyes Amber and she was too beautiful by any standards. That human did think it was his child and took care of her.

Wait... Xing thought... Is that me? No! I had dark coloured eyes.

Then Fei Lian was sent on a mission possibly to change his mind from his child, by the Heavenly Emperor after the child's father died.

When he came back, he found his daughter in the inner palace and she had a son,who looked the exact same as his mother.

Is that Master Yuan? Xing held her temples and tried to look closely.

Yes! It is Master Yuan...

No way!

So Fei Lian is not Master Yuan's father but maternal grandfather?
