Over the past few times, many things had been happening in Xie Feng's life, messing it up in the process and causing him to become extremely busy both physically and mentally.

His whole being had been thinking about how to become stronger, how to achieve his goals faster, and so on. Therefore, except for taking care of his girls' needs and pampering them, Xie Feng did not even have free time to spend with them in quantity. Precisely for this reason, when he was with one of them, he would focus entirely on that moment and shower her with his love to make her feel loved, cherished, and to let her know that she was always on his mind.

​​

However, due to all of the above, Xie Feng always forgot the issues related to Samsara Online. After all, he wanted to spend time with them, not talk about the virtual world and all the tasks that burdened him. Therefore, he completely forgot to ask Shen Xinya for her player ID in this new world.

Now that he saw Kali approaching with the rest of the girls, and noticing that Shen Xinya was "not present", it was easy for Xie Feng to assume that this powerful and mysterious player was actually his childhood friend as well as his first love.

"You..."

When the girls arrived in front of him, Xie Feng could only mutter one word before he was stunned in place not knowing what to say.

Kali's power was extremely mysterious. Even a level 30 Immortal beast was forced to kowtow as if it was a small child back then. She was also the second player to overcome the Despair mode in the final trial in the Beginner Village and, except for Xie Feng, the only player to achieve such a feat.

If there was one player that Xie Feng was not 100% confident of defeating, it was definitely Kali... Because her magic attacks didn't seem to be of any elemental type that Xie Feng had seen before and his resistances would definitely not be useful against her.

Upon learning that such a person was actually his beloved, Xie Feng felt a series of complicated emotions that for an instant blocked his train of thoughts.

But Xie Feng was not the only one who was surprised... Shen Xinya was too.

She stared at him with her beautiful eyes shivering softly, her pink lips opened and closed several times trying to say something but no words came out of her mouth.

In the end, they both stood looking at each other in silence, with similar but at the same time different thoughts and emotions.

Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue, and Yao Mei thought that Shen Xinya was shocked to learn about Xie Feng's identity as Shiva. However, Yin Yue furrowed her eyebrows slightly and looked at her in confusion.

She was the only one who knew that it was impossible for Shen Xinya to have reacted that way for the reason Xie Yao and the rest of the girls thought. This was because Yin Yue had already told Shen Xinya that Xie Feng was the legendary Shiva. In fact, Yin Yue was so confused that she could not even appreciate the change in Xie Feng's appearance as her brain could not process things clearly.

But what neither Yin Yue nor anyone else but her knew was that the real reason why Shen Xinya had reacted in such a way was because of Xie Feng's current physical appearance.

Because Xie Feng had removed the mask covering his face to chat with little Shui Wuhen, his face was exposed for all to see.

The first time Yao Mei saw his physical appearance in the virtual world she was as surprised as Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue had been the first time they saw him. Therefore, her reaction at this moment was not as exaggerated and although she stole a glance or two "secretly" she did not stare at him like Shen Xinya.

"I love you more and more for every second I know you..." Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of silence, Shen Xinya's beautiful voice echoed in everyone's ears.

However, her words were too confusing for everyone present, and for a moment none of them knew how to respond.

A happy smile appeared on Xie Feng's face and he joked, "Could it be that you were fascinated by my appearance here?"

He did not mention anything about her being Kali nor did he ask any questions. He didn't think such things were necessary between them. His woman was powerful, beautiful, and talented; such was already enough for Xie Feng to feel proud for conquering the heart of such an impressive woman and happy for her accomplishments.

Shen Xinya did not respond to his joke. Instead, she reached over and caressed his face gently with a seemingly intoxicated and longing gaze.

"You...You have no idea how many times I've dreamed about you." She murmured softly, almost as if she were talking to herself.

Since the age of fifteen, Shen Xinya always had vague dreams. In those dreams, an extremely handsome and charming man would often appear. Each dream lasted only one night but to her it seemed like years; years in which she saw the man grow from a weak little boy into the most powerful God of all.

In fact, her song Love of God was partially created based on such dreams.

Shen Xinya knew that such a thing was not normal. She should feel conflicted about dreaming about another man whom she did not know. However, to her surprise, such a conflicted feeling never appeared; it was as if her love was in no way wrong and her actions were all right.

This was something that confused her greatly... How was it possible to yearn for one person while loving another? Wasn't this basically the same as being disloyal? But to her surprise, every time she saw Xie Feng, she never felt that she was cheating on him in any way; on the contrary, her love for him only increased with each passing day.

Now that she had seen him in the virtual world, Shen Xinya finally got an answer to her doubts and all her confusions were cleared up as if the spring breeze had gently swept them away.

It turned out that from the beginning she was doing nothing wrong. Her beloved and the man she often dreamed of turned out to be the same person!

As for the reason behind Xie Feng's change of appearance in this world, Shen Xinya did not know.

Xie Feng had no idea what she thought, nor did he know the motive behind her words. But for him to say how much love one felt for one's loved one did not need any special motive.

He looked at her, his golden eyes met her silver eyes and said from the bottom of his heart: "And me to you... Every minute by your side makes me realize how much I missed you, how much I need you by my side, and makes me fear losing you."

A pink aura seemed to envelop both of them, leaving everyone on the scene stupefied.

Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue looked at each other with wide eyes and didn't know what to say about it. They felt jealous, but at the same time they felt joyful; these two practically opposite feelings resonated with each other from deep within their souls, giving them a strange feeling that they could not describe in words.

Yin Yue looked at Shen Xinya with a smile and felt happy for her. Yin Yue knew how much Shen Xinya longed for love throughout her life and seeing her so happy with a man, she was more than happy... However, she also felt lonely as she realized that even in her thirties, she was still as alone as ever.

No, even more alone than in the past. It was very clear to Yin Yue that when Shen Xinya officially became Xie Feng's wife after receiving her parents' blessings, it was likely that Yin Yue would no longer be able to stay next to her as she was now.

As for Yao Mei, she felt several complicated emotions that she could not accurately understand. She felt good for some strange reason, but on the other hand, she also felt a bit of envy that she could not decipher.
