Evan Chu hadn’t expected to reveal his true identity, but at this moment he couldn’t afford to worry about that. He guessed this woman might be one of those who secretly loved him in the past—well, he couldn’t help being outstanding, could he?
"What did you say? You—you said you’re Lord Frostbane? How is that possible?" The woman stared at Evan in shock, as if struck by lightning—her soul nearly left her body.
"Weren’t you desperate to see Qing Shuang? Now I’m right in front of you—why don’t you believe it? So what would make you believe me?" Evan said helplessly. He really wanted to bring her into the Timewheel Bracelet so she could truly recognize him, but for now, he held back.
"You did such obscene things to me and now you claim you’re Lord Frostbane? You’re shameless! You think I’ll believe your nonsense? Don’t think I can’t hurt you. Worst case, we die together—I’m a mid God-Venerable, and if I self-destruct, even you won’t survive!" the woman choked out.
"Wait, wait! I really am Lord Frostbane reincarnated! What would it take for you to believe me? If you’re truly Lord Frostbane’s old friend, I swear I won’t hurt you again, and I apologize for going too far just now," Evan said quickly.
"If you’re Lord Frostbane, then you should know who I am, and how much I sacrificed for you! I wasn’t as lucky as Elena or Moonspirit to be with you, but in the God Realm, everyone knows how devoted I, Monica, was to you," the woman said.
Evan was dumbfounded—he had no idea who she was, let alone any memories from the past, unless he recovered his old memories. "I may be reincarnated, but I haven’t regained my memories yet. Since you know Elena, how about I take you to meet her?" he said.
"Ha! Not only are you shameless, you’re stupid. Elena was killed long ago by Tia Thorn’s Peerless Doom Poison—everyone in the God Realm knows that! Now you say you’ll take me to see Elena? What’s your angle? Claiming you’re Qing Shuang—what a lousy lie! My heart is dead. Let’s just die together!" the woman snapped, unable to hold back anymore.
"You’re impossible! I’ll take you somewhere—if you still want to die after that, be my guest! Just hope you won’t regret your stupidity!" Evan finished speaking, then with a thought, brought the woman into the Timewheel Bracelet.
A huge pulling force seized the woman, and the next moment, a strange world appeared before her—mountains and rivers, divine energy so rich it was unimaginable, like a paradise untouched by the outside world. Though amazed, she didn’t forget her hatred for Evan.
"What is this place? Why did you bring me here? Are you hoping I’ll forgive what you did to me? If you want to die here, I’ll grant your wish!" the woman snapped.
Evan ignored her, instead removing his disguise and revealing his true face—a handsome young man appeared before her, causing her to involuntarily step back.
He looked almost exactly like Lord Frostbane God-Venerable from back then—just as handsome and captivating, especially those eyes, so lifelike it was hard to tell if Lord Frostbane had truly returned.
"This is the space inside my Timewheel Bracelet. You know Lord Frostbane’s three supreme artifacts, right? The Frostbane Divine Sword, the Timewheel Bracelet, and the Ethereal Divine Shuttle—all of them are in my hands now. If I weren’t Lord Frostbane, how could I enter this bracelet’s world?
Maybe you still don’t believe me, so I’ll take you to meet someone. For now, put aside your hostility—once you see her, you can decide how to treat me," Evan said.
The woman hesitated for a moment, glanced at Evan, then at the bloodstains on her clothes, uncertain. What Evan said was starting to make sense—only Lord Frostbane God-Venerable’s Timewheel Bracelet could contain a space like this.
The Timewheel Bracelet was the top-tier spatial artifact in the God Realm, able to let people enter and exit at will, and time inside flowed differently. Plus, Evan’s current appearance was almost identical to Lord Frostbane God-Venerable’s youth—she couldn’t help but start believing.
"You’d better not be lying to me, or this will be your grave!" the woman warned.
"Let’s go," Evan said simply, then flew off toward the distance—his destination, of course, was where Elena lived.
The woman followed close behind, soon entering a spacious cave. The furnishings were simple but tidy; she saw a beautiful woman sitting on a stone bed, eyes closed in meditation, but she opened her bright eyes as they entered.
"Evan, you’re back!" Elena’s face lit up with a radiant smile when she saw him, quickly stepping down from the bed and walking toward Evan—though she soon noticed the woman behind him.
The other woman’s expression was a mix of joy and surprise, because she knew the lady in this cave was none other than the famous mistress of Rainbow Court, whose name had spread across the God Realm.
"Elena, how are you feeling? I’ll have to leave here again soon," Evan said.
"I’m still the same. And this is?" Elena glanced at the woman behind Evan, then quickly spotted the blood on her pants. As someone experienced, she instantly understood—either it was her period, or she’d just lost her virginity.
The woman’s face flushed red with shame, but the hatred she’d felt for Evan instantly vanished. This body had always belonged to him—it just took much longer, and in such a strange way, for it to happen.
"She says her name is Monica—one of my old flames. Do you know about this? I told her I’m Lord Frostbane, but she didn’t believe me, so I had to come find you to explain," Evan said.
"Monica? Divine Maiden Monica? So she really did become your woman in the end. She gave a lot for you back then. Looks like she’s disguised herself, right?" Elena said.
"Monica greets Mistress Elena! Yes, I have disguised myself," Monica replied.
"Monica, don’t be so formal—just call me sister from now on. He didn’t lie to you; he really is the man we waited millions of years for, though his memories aren’t fully restored yet. If he did anything excessive, please forgive him," Elena said.
Hearing Elena say this, Monica couldn’t stay calm. Tears flooded her eyes like a bursting dam. "Lord Frostbane!" she cried—just two words, but they carried countless nights of longing and endless sorrow, all condensed into this moment.
All her old hatred was gone; Monica threw her arms around Evan, as if afraid he’d vanish. "It’s true, it’s true! Lord Frostbane, you’ve finally come back!"
Evan understood Monica’s excitement. He gently stroked her waterfall-like hair and said softly, "I’m back, I’m back! See, I didn’t lie to you!"
"Mm!" Monica hummed softly, clinging tightly to Evan, afraid that if she let go, he’d leave her again...
