Asura Conqueror

Chapter 63: The Lady Moon

Marcus stepped on the well-trimmed grasses. He took a deep breath and enjoyed the evening breeze.

He looked at the pool and tilted his head a bit. He noticed that there were some ripples.

'Is Big Sis having a night swim? It's a miracle that she's not in the stone.' Marcus sat on a nearby seat.

Not long after, a person's head popped up. A woman wearing a thin white one-piece slowly made her way out of the rectangular pool.

Marcus, who was at the side, stared at her. This was not his Big Sis Eva.

She had short hair, thin brows, cupid lips, white skin, and a breathtaking figure that could dazzle anyone.

Droplets of pool water dripped from her hair to her wet bikini. A clear cameltoe between her legs made the value of her outlined nipples fall.

Marcus doesn't know how she got here but he didn't make a sound. He was afraid that this is all a dream and one wrong move, he's going to wake up.

She stood there. The scintillating stars seemed to have dimmed in her presence. The bright moon illuminated her figure.

Marcus's eyes were glued to the mesmerizing picturesque in front of him. This was her, this was the woman who appeared in his memories. His first wife, The Lady of the Moon.

The woman, Emily, felt like there was someone staring at her. She looked to her side and saw Marcus. Her heart skipped a beat.

The lovely atmosphere would have been perfect for stargazing but instead, their gazes were at each other.

No one spoke. A silence that felt like an eternity followed.

Soon, footsteps could be heard heading towards them. Their short staring contest was finally put to an end.

Eva walked in wearing a peach-colored sweatshirt that went down to her ass and sky blue shorts that's meant for sleeping.

"Emily, are you finished yet?" Eva called out.

She neared her sister and finally noticed Marcus "Baby Brother you're finally home."

Marcus chuckled "It's been a fun day for me, I forgot about the time."

Eva smiled "You can finally meet my sister."

She walked toward Emily and grabbed her wrist pulling her towards Marcus who was now standing up.

"This is my sister, Emily. Emily, this is Marcus, the one I told you about." Eva introduced.

The two individuals were now only a meter or two away from each other.

Marcus did his best to make his eyes behave. He tried his best to calm down and compose himself.

He cleared his throat and said, "It's nice to finally know your name, Emily."

Emily opened her mouth once, twice, but nothing came out.

"Oh? You two met before?" Eva had a surprised look on her face.

Marcus nodded "We did, back at the hotel in Kellar. I just didn't have the chance to get her name."

Eva looked at Emily "Why didn't you tell me about this?"

"It was only a brief encounter. I also didn't think that we'd meet again." Emily finally spoke.

Eva looked at them. She felt there was something off. He stared at Marcus for a while and then smiled. "You two should catch up, It has been a long time after all."

Marcus never acted like this when he met Zoey and plus he Marcus now has his memories so he should be able to interact with people a lot easier. This was why Eva thought there was something weird.

Marcus was somewhat stunned 'A long time? Did she finally see the other faces?'

Eva walked towards the living room, leaving Marcus and Emily together with the humming sounds of the night that accompanied them both.

"Marcus right?" Emily looked at Marcus, her eyes clear.

Marcus nodded. He wanted to hug, tell about everything, and tell her that they would storm the upper realms together.

Marcus already learned his lesson. In his past life, he tried to do everything by himself. Sometimes he would fall short and even downright fail.

Nexus wasn't strong enough to help him.

Come to the tragic ending where they all fell and no matter how strong Marcus was at that time, he couldn't protect them.

In this life, he would no longer try to do everything alone.

"Do you want to sit?" Marcus offered.

There was another chair beside his.

"Yes, I would love to." Emily didn't want to leave for some reason.

Marcus smiled. He waited for her ass to touch the chair before sitting down.

"Oh, there's my hairpin." Emily bent sidewards and grabbed a black hairpin.

"It's funny how sometimes you think you'd never see it again, but in the end, everything works out." Marcus placed his empty glass on a nearby table.

"I know right. I've lost dozens of these before and never found them. It's not like you could relate. Have you lost anything before?" Emily's voice sounded a lot more natural now.

Marcus chuckled and looked at her eyes "I have actually, and they are both irreplaceable. I've already found one of them with the help of fate and I won't ever let her go this time. As for the other one, fate will help me find her too, I'm sure of it."

'Her?' Emily had a curious look on her face. "May I see who?"

Marcus thought for a while and then nodded. He took out an object from his spatial ring and handed it to Emily which she received with her left hand.

The handle and the sides were ivory in color. Emily looked in the mirror and saw her current self.

"The mirror?" She asked as she handed it back.

Marcus received it and laughed, but he didn't say anything.

"For the comments, I've said during that day in the elevator, I'm sorry but I won't take it back. Especially after seeing you today like this." Marcus teasingly smiled as he stood up, raised his head, and looked at her before leaving.

Marcus won't rush it. This is only their first proper interaction after all.

Emily sat there and looked at his retreating back. She was somewhat flustered by his comment. Deep down though, she liked it.

Eva went to Nexus.

"My sister is someone important in Marcus's past life?" Eva asked. Her hands were situated at the back of the couch.

Nexus nodded.

Eva sighed "Something is really wrong with me. I'm not even shocked."

Nexus faced her "That's normal, you've already recovered a bunch of your memories after all."

"I'm guessing, she's his wife." Eva walked towards the front of the couch.

Nexus smiled and nodded. "You really are smart. Just like you were back then."

Eva leaned her head to his shoulders "It's good you know I'm smart."

Marcus went back into the Destrucstone. He needs to continue cultivating Chaos Magic.

He walked towards the training room and sat cross-legged. He controlled his breathing and soon started turning the mana around him into chaos essence.

As Marcus was doing this, he recovered a few of his memories, but that didn't stop him from cultivating.

He didn't want to waste any more time. Especially since tomorrow, he'll have another busy day.

He endured the stinging pain he felt in his head.
