Cursed Fate

14

Thousand years had passed after his (Dong Hua) demise.

Lian Song watched the sky as it celebrate the birth of an unknown immortal. 4 dragons danced in the sky, while Foling flowers filled the whole palace notifying that an heir of the title "god of war" has arrived.

"You're back." He smiled. "I do not know if I should be happy or not. But I'm glad that you had come back."

He watched him grow without approaching him. He's always there to support him.

One time, Lian Song was introduced by his father to Wen Chang.

"You can call him 'uncle'." Heavenly emperor said.

He burst out laughing. "You should call me grandfather instead. Ha ha ha!"

"Why are you laughing, grandfather?" Wen Chang asked him.

"Nothing. I bet this will be useful in the future." – lian song

He can still remember how Dong Hua teases him whenever he opens the topic about marriage to Cheng yu. Dong Hua would always tell him that he'll adopt Cheng Yu as his daughter so Lian Song would be his son-in-law.

Being able to remember these memories, his heart ached. Years had passed again and Wen Chang's coronation was soon announced.

He knew that Fengjiu will attend the coronation and he's looking forward whether she will recognize Wen Chang as Dong Hua.

Day of the coronation...

Minutes before the ceremony started, Fengjiu saw Cheng yu arguing with Third Prince Lian Song.

 

"I told you to stop tricking me, didn't I?" – cheng yu

"I didn't trick you. It was the Heavenly Emperor who told me to accompany you." – lian song

"Heavenly Emperor your face. I bet this was your scheme alone!" She yelled at him.

Fengjiu suddenly greeted them. "Why do you always fight with each other?" she asked.

"It's because of this rascal's tricks." Cheng Yu was referring to Lian Song.

"She praised me, right?" Lian Song asked Fengjiu.

"I don't think it's a praise." Fengjiu laughed.

"Anyway, how are you?" Cheng yu asked. "I heard you went to the mortal realm with Lord Cang Yi." She whispered.

Fengjiu's expression changed from happy to gloomy.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." –cheng yu

"It's fine. Yes, I decided to move on and meet new people." Fengjiu answered.

No one knows the real reason why Fengjiu entertained Cang Yi. She didn't tell anyone about it.

Lian song was listening to what they were talking about.

"How's he?" Cheng yu asked.

"He's kind. He also likes fishing, reading Buddha theories and playing game of go." She replied.

"Don't tell me he also looks like Dong Hua—"

"Did I hear you talking about Dong Hua?" Lian song interrupted. "Let him be at peace. He suffered so much. I don't think it's appropriate for you to talk about him." He said angrily.

"Don't mind him, he just misses him everyday." Cheng yu commented.

"But it's weird. Why does it feel like Lian Song blames me for what happened to Dong Hua? Did I do something wrong?" She told herself.

Lian Song blames Fengjiu for Dong Hua's demise because Dijun had told him that the only way to protect Fengjiu from Miao Luo is to sacrifice himself. Dong Hua already knew that the birthmark of Fengjiu was because she has the blood of Miao Luo and if Miao Luo happened to know about it, she will surely do everything to take her powers back.

It was indeed an ill-fated romance. She was born from the blood of Dong Hua's enemy and now to protect her, he has to die.

Lian Song walked out.

"She has the audacity to date other man? How could she!" He said angrily.
