Normally, it would take about three to four years for a baby to have memories. However, it would take about five to six years for a baby to have complete memories.
However, for Dugu Xiu, his memories started when he was two years old.
Most of the children in the Boundless World were just learning to walk at the age of two. However, for the princes and princesses of the Later Qin Palace, two years old was the true beginning of their lives.
The princes and princesses of the Later Qin Dynasty were forced to be separated from their mothers at birth. They grew up drinking the milk of wild beasts.
Therefore, their physiques were much stronger than the princes and princesses of other countries.
Dugu Xiu was undoubtedly the most muscular among the princes and princesses of the Later Qin Dynasty. He grew up drinking the milk of a lioness.
There was no weakness in his personality. From the moment he started drinking milk, in order to eat more milk, he pushed away all the other cubs and monopolized the lionesses, there were already signs of it.
The overbearing side of his personality was something that an emperor must have.
It was also because of his personality that the Later Qin Emperor had always doted on Dugu Xiu. The other princes and princesses could only secretly envy Dugu Xiu.
Everyone thought that it was because of Dugu Xiu's extraordinary talent and that he was favored by the heavens.
Only Dugu Xiu and his mother knew that it was because of the Black Qilin blood in Dugu Xiu's body.
Dugu Xiu already knew that he wasn't the child of the Later Qin Emperor from the moment he could understand things. However, this didn't make him feel inferior because in Dugu Xiu's world, strength was everything.
The leader of the Black Qilin Clan, Hei Yao, was stronger than the Later Qin Emperor. Therefore, his father was Hei Yao.
This was Dugu Xiu's way of dealing with people. He wanted the best in everything, whether it was his biological father, his woman, or anything else.
This belief was firmly believed by Dugu Xiu for a very long time afterwards.
That was until the first accident of his life.
That accident was Yun Sheng.
When Dugu Xiu first met Yun Sheng, he would never have thought that this little girl would be his destined jinx.
Before meeting Yun Sheng, the women that Dugu Xiu liked were the women in his Crown Prince Residence. They were almost the same type. They were either sexy and voluptuous, or good at dancing. They were also women who knew how to read people's expressions to please him.
However, Yun Sheng was only a half-grown child at that time. She was still young and inexperienced, and her appearance was barely passable. The only thing that left a deep impression on Dugu Xiu was Yun Sheng's eyes. She had a pair of eyes that were clearer than any other woman's.
But even so, Dugu Xiu still hated Yun Sheng more than he liked her. If he really had to describe her, she was like an immature green plum. If he ate her, it would be so sour that he would have a toothache.
In any case, she was definitely not the type that Dugu Xiu liked.
The reason why Dugu Xiu noticed Yun Sheng was because of another person.
That person was the Immortal Residence's Divine Wind King. He was also one of the successors of the Five Great Countries. The Divine Wind King was a rare opponent that Dugu Xiu liked.
It was also because the Divine Wind King saw Yun Sheng in a different light that he racked his brains to capture Yun Sheng. He wanted to use her to restrict the Divine Wind King.
However, Dugu Xiu did not expect that he would fall into the hands of Yun Sheng.
He almost died in the beast tide. That cunning woman actually stripped him naked and hung him on the road. To the incomparably arrogant Dugu Xiu, this was a humiliation that could not be washed away.
Later on, he found out about that woman's true identity. However, when he saw her, she was already a completely different person.
She gradually grew up, her features becoming more and more exquisite. Her figure was like a willow tree in spring, transforming day by day. Dugu Xiu understood that this was a woman with limitless potential. There would be a day when she would grow into the most eye-catching woman on the continent.
He wanted this kind of woman.
Yun Sheng was the only woman who could be the mistress of the Crown Prince Residence. She was a woman who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
However, when Dugu Xiu put down his pride and went to propose, a person that Dugu Xiu hated for his entire life appeared. That was Zhou State's dethroned Crown Prince, Ye Beiming.
That man was even more cunning than a fox. He snatched Yun Sheng before him and set up an engagement with her. Dugu Xiu would never forget this kind of humiliation of snatching food from the tiger's mouth.
However, Dugu Xiu was not someone who would give up so easily. He made use of Yun Sheng's sentimental nature and captured her to Later Qin.
Dugu Xiu originally thought that as long as Yun Sheng fell into his hands, she would be like the other women in the Crown Prince Residence and submit to him in the end.
That damned Yun Sheng, however, proposed to be a pair for life.
Dugu Xiu only snorted at this.
In Dugu Xiu's world, the only thing a woman had to do was submit. Even if Yun Sheng was special to him, he would not agree to be a pair for life.
At that time, Dugu Xiu did not know that there would be a day when he would regret his decision.
The matter of detaining Yun Sheng eventually became a prairie fire. At that time, Ye Beiming, who was already the Regent Of Great Zhou, sent his army north. He used the excuse of "swearing to marry Yun Sheng" to force Later Qin to abdicate.
When the Immortal Abode's fairy army and Zhou State's allied army charged into Later Qin, Dugu Xiu knew that he was a trapped beast.
However, he was still unwilling. He gave up on Later Qin and went to the Eight Wastelands. He swore to the heavens that he would take back everything that belonged to him.
In the end, he did it.
He fused with Black Qilin King Yexiu's flesh, blood, heart, and Black Qilin Relic. He became the king who stood at the peak.
However, why did he not feel any joy after becoming an omnipotent expert? There was only endless loneliness and pain.
Many nights, he dreamed of Hei Linlin and Hei Yao. He dreamed of his mother, who was crying in the Cold Palace, and the people of the Boundless World, who had been contaminated by the blood fog and were groaning in pain.
Yun Sheng told him that it was because there was still a portion of human blood in his body.
He … was unwilling to believe it. This was because, from the moment he killed his biological father, Hei Yao, Dugu Xiu had told him that the portion of human blood in his body had already died.
This conflict between the human race and the beast race made Dugu Xiu rather be devoured by Black Qilin King Yexiu. He would rather sleep in Yexiu's body forever. That way, he would not have to feel conflicted and would not have to face Yun Sheng's sad eyes.
However, the moment Yexiu was about to kill Yun Sheng … Dugu Xiu could not ignore it. He hesitated and stopped Yexiu from making a desperate attack.
Yexiu was ultimately defeated. He was also defeated.
Dugu Xiu and Yexiu were also two disappointed people. They stood guard outside Celestial Fox's tomb together. To Yexiu, he was protecting his relationship with Hu Yan. As for Dugu Xiu, he only hoped that he would be able to see that person again one day in the future …
Before Yun Sheng arrived, he met the Elf King, Shen Feng.
That man, who was like the wind, was all alone in his life.
Dugu Xiu knew that he was the same as him. Once someone entered his heart, there would be no room for anyone else.
The two men, who had once fought to the death, looked at each other without any hatred in their eyes.
Many years later, when he saw Yun Sheng and the man beside Celestial Fox's tomb again, he felt that there really was a pair in this world.
Only then did Dugu Xiu realize that it was not impossible. It was just that he could not do it.
Sometimes, missing a moment was equivalent to missing a lifetime.
If he could do it all over again, he just wanted to ask Yun Sheng to be with him for the rest of his life. What do you think?
