Shen Miao remembered it very clearly.
In the dream, her corpse was burnt to ashes by the fire that Fu Xiu Yi ordered people to light, and nothing was left. However that resentment was extremely heavy and refused to dissipate. Mei Furen ordered people to perform the ritual. She could not become a malicious spirit and was unable to reincarnate, so her soul was imprisoned in the Palace walls and wandered around all day, becoming weaker by the day.
All the things that she left behind were burnt and if it was not for the red rope in Xie Jing Xing's hand, she would have long dissipated from Heaven and Earth.
That red rope could save her from some troubles. Those days where she was unable to reincarnate, Shen Miao's spirit rested in the red rope on Xie Jing Xing's wrist and lived in a muddle.
Until the day the city was breached.
She saw Fu Sheng die in the hands of his own people, she saw Mei Furen and Fu Xiu Yi being tied up on the city walls, she saw both of them being killed by thousands of arrows piercing through their hearts, she saw the Palaces that she hated for her entire life being burnt to the ground and turned into ashes. The unfulfilled wish in her heart, the soul that was not willing to disperse finally obtained complete peace at that moment.
The red rope was broken and she could let it go. Thus time reversed and Pei Lang used his life as the price for her to be reborn.
Xie Jing Xing saw that Shen Miao did not speak and asked with a frown, "What is the matter with you?"
Shen Miao recovered to her senses and looked at him without speaking.
She was somewhat agitated. She was just thinking that in the past life she had no interaction with Xie Jing Xing, so how could they be tied together in this life by a freak combination of factors that could not be pulled apart. So it was because of the involvement in the past life. In the beginning when Xie Jing Xing owed her a wish, it was just a joke. She did not think that he would keep his promise and personally kill Fu Xiu Yi and take revenge for her.
She softly asked, "Xie Jing Xing, what wish do you have?"
Xie Jing Xing glanced at her, "Why? You want to complete it for me? "
"I can give you a wish." She said seriously, "As long as I am able to complete it, I will do my best."
Her expression was too solemn that it made Xie Jing Xing slightly glance at her. In just a moment, his lips curled up and said with a smile that was not a smile, "Alright." He then leaned close to Shen Miao's ear and whispered, "My wish … You will definitely be able to do it."
Shen Miao asked, "What is it?"
"Give me a child," he said nonchalantly.
Shen Miao looked at him for a while. Xie Jing Xing touched his nose and was about to speak when he heard Shen Miao answer, "Alright."
Xie Jing Xing was startled.
Shen Miao stared at him with a slight smile on her lips. It was different from the past. It was not the kind of smile that had to be held back. Instead, it was a smile that came from the bottom of her heart, as if she was truly happy. There was even a hint of gentleness in it.
Xie Jing Xing subconsciously reached out to touch her forehead and said, "You really have not recovered from your illness."
Shen Miao pushed his hand away and said, "Xie Jing Xing, on the day of my birthday, you must have been frightened."
Xie Jing Xing released his hand and saw that her expression was calm and there was nothing strange about it, so he was slightly relieved and followed along with her words, "What do you think? I thought … "He trailed off. Even now when he recalled that scene, Xie Jing Xing could not help but feel a lingering fear. Shen Miao was lying in a pool of blood with an unconscious appearance, as if she would never wake up again. His heart was also gripped at the same time, as if it was the first time he brought the Xie family army to the battlefield in the Northern Jiang. Even when he was plotted against and his life and death was unknown, there was no fear in his eyes.
He also had things that he was afraid of, people that he was afraid of losing, and weaknesses. And these three things happened to be the same, which was this person in front of him.
"Let me make amends." Shen Miao said, "Isn't your birthday already passed a long time ago? How about taking today as making up for it?"
