At the same time, his back was burning with pain, most likely from the injury Liao He gave him.

Opening his eyes, Jian Shen saw that he was lying face down on a bed, and his upper half felt relatively colder than his lower half.

This most likely meant that he was half naked.

Realizing this, Jian Shen tried to hastily get up and ended up shouting from pain.

"Your wound still hasn't healed completely. Don't move around too much."

Hearing an unfamiliar gentle voice from above him, Jian Shen could only strain himself to turn his head around and see who it was.

"It's you!"

Seeing the mysterious lady who saved him sitting beside him with a bowl of medicine, the words surprised wasn't enough to describe how Jian ashen felt.

"You remember me?!"

While feeling a little guilty since he knew that the lady was under some sort of a misunderstanding, Jian Shen said, "I mean you did save me."

"Oh..."

No one knew why but despite knowing that it was stupid to hope for this Jian Shen to remember what happened in his previous life, Qingyu felt a little sad from he was behaving.

And this made her realize how he must've felt, when she used to deliberately ignored him.

For some reason, the atmosphere turned a little desolate due to which Jian Shen didn't say anything, while Qingyu patiently dipped a cloth inside the bowl of medicine and placed it on his back, where she had recently cleaned the wound.

Next, she gently began wrapping bandages around Jian Shen so that the cloth and medicine would stay in place.

Once done, Qingyu slapped him on the back.

"Ahhhh! Can't you see that I'm hurt?!"

Chuckling happily she said, "If you can shout like that, I'm sure you're fine. Just rest for a while, and everything would be fine."

While Jian Shen didn't know what kind of medicine the lady used, he could feel that it was very effective frond how the wound was itching.

Looking at the face which was glowing radiantly due to happiness, Jian Shen didn't know why he felt so comfortable around her, but he said, "You're very different from what I expected."

"What does that mean?"

"Well.... Based on first impressions, even though you are very beautiful you come off as cold and standoffish."

With her lips twitching, Qingyu said, "But..?", almost as if forcing Jian Shen to continue.

Chuckling a little, Jian Shen finished what he planned to say.

"But... seeing you like this, I can't even match you to the one before. You're so vibrant and funny. Almost like a completely different person."

"Is that so? I'm glad."

"Huh?"

Ignoring the confused look on Jian Shen's face, Qingyu told him what she wanted.

"A long time back, I was exactly the kind of woman you first thought I was. A very cold and cruel one. So cold, that I caused the death of someone who deserved to live."

"Once that happened I was no longer able to live with myself anymore. The guilt, regret, and sadness were eating me up from the inside."

"That's why I tried my best to change my personality into the one you see right now. So that what happened in the past won't repeat itself."

Having said that a hopeful expression once again appeared on Qingyu's face, because she once again asked, "Do you really not remember me?"

Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, "I'm sorry. But I really don't know who you are."

"I see."

Bitterly smiling, Qingyu felt that maybe this was how she was being punished by fate, but at the same time thought that it was for the best.

At least this way Jian Shen wouldn't remember the ugly side of her, which she came to hate.

"Anyway, my name is Qingyu. Jian Qingyu."

Jian Shen only nodded his head and didn't say anything, since while the Jian surname wasn't a very widely used one, it wasn't something only he and Xinyi had.

"I'm Ji..."

Interrupting Jian Shen, Qingyu said, "I know who you are, Jian Shen. I came from a very far away place for you."

"You did?"

As Qingyu nodded her head, Jian Shen followed up by asking, "Why?"

Having already prepared with a lie, which doesn't make her seem like an obsessed stalker, Qingyu said, "You possess the Heavenly Dragon Sword, and I possess the Ethereal Phoenix Sword."

Saying so Qingyu revealed the black sword which Jian Shen had seen before.

As soon as the sword was in front of his eyes, Jian Shen despite the pain got up and took it into his hands. Feeling the soul chilling cold originating from the sword, and sensing his Heavenly Dragon Sword which was on the bed beside him vibrate, Jian Shen was sure that it was the real deal.

Just like his Heavenly Dragon Sword, Qingyu's Ethereal Phoenix Sword was also a part of the Nine broken Myriad G.o.d Swords!

Therefore he immediately turned vigilant and jumped off the bed causing his wound to reopen.

Throwing the Ethereal Phoenix Sword on the bed, he hid the Heavenly Dragon Sword beside him.

"I'm not going to let you take my sword away!"

Though Jian Shen didn't know what each of the Nine broken Myriad G.o.d Swords were, he did know a particular special detail.

And that was, that the nine broken swords could be fused together with each other in any order or combination. In short, either him or Qingyu could fuse their sword with the other's sword, and obtain a single sword which was twice as powerful!

Showing a pained smile, Qingyu felt a little let down from what Jian Shen was thinking about her.

"I'm not the same one who still focuses only on my personal gains, Jian Shen. I've changed."

Patting the black sword in the bed, and the mark on her wrist, she said, "I actually came here to give this sword and crest to you."
