Chapter 659

(Unedited)

…

Forgiveness... that is what she was seeking. A way to recompense her previous wrongs and make amends to the person she truly hurt.

The turmoil of emotions is currently flooding the heart of Qian Li while looking at that familiar figure in the middle of the four women hugging him with their eyes in tears. She even could not believe what she is seeing right now. It was as if she is still in a dream as she dazedly looks at that familiar handsome face.

Only she knew how long she waited to see him again and glance and be filled with his familiar aura.

Unknowingly, Qian Li began tearing up as she subconsciously takes a few steps forward.

However, she suddenly stopped herself as she knew that it was not the right thing to do. She so really loves to hug him, to bask in his scent, and to felt his warmth. Yet, she knew that she could not do that. She knew of her mistake and what she did.

Although she was tempted, yet that those memories are clear and it was her heart's desire. When she acted at that time it was as if those are the things she really wanted to do. Her true and cruel self… that is what she could feel. And that is the reason for this heavy guilt in her heart.

Shin Jiao just patted the women around him to calm them down.

"Master Shin… we really missed you. You've been gone for a long time now." suddenly Serpent pouted as she tried to act coyly.

Everyone laughed at her action. Shin Jiao just patted her head with a gentle smile.

"I also missed you all… It's been a long time." Shin Jiao said with a happy smile on his face which the girls also feel happy and elated.

Suddenly, his eyes shifted towards the lone figure of Qian Li who is so emotional but is still trying to hold herself. He showed a gentle smile while looking straight in her eyes.

"Qian… I missed you, too…"

Upon hearing Shin Jiao's words, Qian Li could not stop herself anymore and suddenly bawl as she just falls to the ground. She dare not throw herself in his arms for the guilt she is feeling that those warm words from him.

She suddenly feels being engulfed in the warm and familiar aura and that scent which sole belongs to the man she has loved and would ever love in her life.

"I'm… I'm…" Qian Li wanted to say something but she suddenly stopped.

This is because Shin Jiao held her head into his chest. And that was enough for her to know that he didn't blame her for what she has done. She also knew that he has already forgiven her for her grievous mistake.

That magnanimous attitude truly melted her heart and could not help but wrap her arms in Shin Jiao's waste while suddenly pouring her heart unto him.

"Sorry… I'm really sorry…" she said over and over.

The rest of the girls just showed a faint smile on their faces with some tears falling unconsciously on their cheeks. They knew that at this moment, they got their sister back.

…

The six of them walked out of the prison building with jubilation in their expressions. Shin Jiao discovered that out of the five of them, three are already married and have a family of their own. Except for Ruby Lee (Serpent) and Qian Li, the rest of them already have children.

Meng Shiaoning (Phoenix) has two children a boy and a girl, the boy is always with his father, Xi Jung, as he is being groomed to be the next clan head of the Jung Dragon Clan. Cho Chan (Vermillion Bird) met a very talented young man from the city of Dis. He was her student but later, the two fell in love and now have a child. Beiwei Tang (Qilin) on the other hand is just a newlywed. She married one of the generals under Qian Li's command with a good family. In fact, her husband is a very rich young master of a clan who escaped from the capital of Yi Kingdom due to an arranged marriage.

He works himself up to the ranks in Shin City and didn't rely on his own clan to succeed. After knowing the truth, Qilin didn't mind his background and the two just gotten married a few months ago.

They all spent their time together like the old times inside the military base.

Shin Jiao didn't know how to show his appreciation to them and just decided to see their progress in their strength.

Right now, all of them have equal strength to that of an infant soul realm cultivator, which is called as Grand knights and Grand Magus.

He is really happy for the five of them.

After spending the whole night together and meeting the families of the girls, Shin Jiao left with Qian Li.

While the two arrive in front of the house where Susan Tang lives, Qian Li suddenly stops walking. She clenched her fist as she didn't want the day to end. Today was the happiest day of her life so far. She could feel that their group seems to have been revived once again.

"Master Shin… No… Shin Jiao… I know that I am impetuous and have given you great trouble before. But… I promise to stand by your side forever." She said while biting her lips.

When Shin Jiao heard her words, she showed a faint smile. He knew that Qian Li still has feelings for him. He could see and feel it while the group was talking and having their time together.

"I know… Come on let's go and see Susan." Shin Jiao said while patting her shoulder.

The two enters the room and saw Susan Tang lying on the couch with her already bulging belly. Shin Jiao saw the clock and it was already almost 4 am in the morning.

"Sigh… this woman…" Shin Jiao muttered as he squatted down to carry Susan into the bedroom.

But before he could move her, her beautiful eyelashes suddenly flickers.

"Ugh… Shin… Oh… you're back." She said still dazed from being woken from her sleep.

"Sorry, Did I wake you up?" Shin Jiao gently caressed Susan's hair.

"Umm… So… how is she?" Susan asked while still lying on the couch.

"She is good… I have already told her that I forgive her."

"That's good… She… she likes you too much you know. Just like Sister Shi Anne…" Susan said teasingly while caressing Shin Jiao's chin.

"…"

Suddenly, Susan Tang's expression change and turned serious.

"Sigh… I've been in this place, in this world for half a year already. In truth, I kind of like it here. But I also realized something. Shin, your legacy… this city, it's wonderful. But… the danger still exists. I… we… we cannot protect it. If not for sister Qin Lou marrying the current emperor, the city would have been in trouble. What would happen next time? I want to preserve the freedom in the city, the lives of the people, your legacy."

"I know… that's why I have returned. I will make sure that this city would never fall to any power ever again. In this world, after I'm done securing the city, my legacy, only a deity would be able to destroy it." The proud words of Shin Jiao made Susan Tang and Qian Li, who is quietly standing on the side, felt happy.

They knew that Shin Jiao is now different. Although they could not see his aura, yet they can feel that he is different, his countenance has already changed. Sometimes the two could feel like they are in the presence of a divine being.

Shin Jiao suddenly, look towards Qian Li.

Then with a signal, Qian Li walked closer. Susan who noticed this slowly sits up. The two women's eyes met and both showed a faint smile on their faces.

"Sister Qian…"

"Sister Susan…"

Susan Tang's eyes squinted and showed a slight pout on her lips. But she still showed an understanding smile. She knew in her heart that this woman came first in the life of Shin Jiao and she didn't have the right to chase her away. Hence she just controlled her emotion. In fact, she already got the gist of it. She has lived with Shi Anne Li before along with Shin Jiao and the three of them shared a wonderful time together. Hence she could already understand this concept.

"You accepted her? That's nice… I can have another sister then…" Susan said with a smile.

Shin Jiao and Qian Li's expression change. They seem to not understand what she was saying.

"Don't be surprised. I already lived with Shi Anne Li before. So…"

"Wait… wait…" Shin Jiao stopped her from her wild fantasies.

"Qian Li is just here to apologize to you."

Suddenly, Susan showed realization in her expression as she blushed.

"No need for that. I… I…"

The three showed an awkward atmosphere.

Pfft…

Then they all laughed.

…

The next day a huge announcement dropped like a bomb in the whole city of Shin.

Their beloved general has come back to the office. Plus, the rumor of the real city lord appearing circulated throughout the people in the city.

These two pieces of news thoroughly excited the people as a happy mood engulfs the whole city.

Meanwhile, Shin Jiao spent his time in the military and the research department. He didn't want to entertain anyone and just busy himself upgrading the armaments of the city and also their defenses.

He then upgraded the barrier of the city making it different. This time, he uses the yin and yang energy void as the barrier. He knew that with this no one would dare attack the city. Plus the weapons that the armor of the citizen is also using the same technology which is like an anti-cultivator o mage weapon.

With the huge changes in the city, the military began to be busy along with the celebration of the return of Qian Li.

2 weeks later…

Atop a familiar hill with a beautiful garden, two people are standing while facing each other. The woman is beautiful with a calm yet powerful aura around her body.

Shin Jiao looks at her with a complex emotion on his face.

"It's been a long time… Qin… I'm sorry… I should call you, Empress Xi, now right?" he said with a smile.

But before he could say anything, Qin Lou walked closer towards him and did not hesitate to hug him. Shin Jiao could already see the glistening tears in her eyes.

Then she didn't hesitate to hold his face as their soft lips touched.. Shin Jiao could feel that sweet taste and her familiar sweet aroma making him in a daze and subconsciously deepen the kiss.
