Chapter 152 - Confession

Leaving the room, Bai started searching around. He finally stopping seeing a beautiful young woman with long blond hair. She was sat on a bench outside, looking at the horizon with a thoughtful expression.

Bai slowly approached her, his hands were sweating and he was unable to hide his nervous, even more than when he met his family. Bai already had decided that in the case of his family hating him, he would have run away, even if it broke his heart, he would escape and not met them again. At final, it wasn't necessary and in Bai's opinion all finished a little anti-climatic, it was too quickly and his parents were already knowledgeable about it, so a less worry he thought.

With Chenxiang it was strange, the previous Bai loved her, but he suppressed his feelings due to first Mayi and later on the problem with Paul. Now that he was his true self, his mind was clearer than ever and he was completely decided to confess and share his feelings. Paul's personality only increased his feelings, Chenxiang's love was like a shining sun for the dark world of him.

The problem was that he knew that Chenxiang was in love with the previous Bai. Love is a strange feeling, difficult to quantify. Now that he was a different person, it wouldn't be too strange for her not to love him. In the case that she refused, it's not like I could abandon my life to never see her again as she was a friend with my sister, it would create uncomfortable moments when they see. And even in the case that she continued loving him, how will they act later? In any case, their relation won't be the same. Bai liked being with her, and he had enjoyed and treasured every moment with her, and these moments would change.

Anyway, Bai already decided that he had run away from her with excuses too long. He was prepared to explain all to her. He would cope with the results later.

"Xiang" Bai lowly called her.

Chenxiang turned to him. She stood up and looked at him with a strange expression, different feeling flowing from her face, finally settling to a furious one "What the fuċk were you doing, Bai!?" she shouted angrily "You almost killed cousin. What were you thinking?!"

Looking at her intense brown eyes, Bai turned a little nervous. He breathed loudly calming himself "Sorry, Chenxiang"

"Of course you must be sorry, you nearly killed him!" Chenxiang scolded him pointing her right hand at him.

"It's not for that. I am not really regretful for Tang San. I am sorry to you for keeping you waiting all this time" Bai explained.

Chenxiang's face contorted and glared suspiciously at Bai. "Tell me" wings sprouted from her back, 7 rings revolving around her. Her spirit energy falling over Bai "Who are you?" she said prepared to fight "Bai would never have done that and even if he went out of control, he would be very regretful and quickly apologize. Not only that, I saw your smile when you beat him, you were also enjoying it. Bai could enjoy a good fight, but would never bask in the impotence of his rivals" her pressure increased "Who are you and what you do with Bai? If needed, I would use all my strength to force you to answer"

Under her pressure, Bai was unaffected. Both of them were Spirit Sages and the pressure of someone in the same realm is not that great to suppress another, with how strong Bai's body and mind were after his merge, it became even more ineffective. If someone was to be suppressed and pushed down, it would be Chenxiang. Using all his pressure in combination with his intents, he would be able to create a great suppressing attack. Anyway, it wasn't something that he wanted to do.

Bai looked at Chenxiang and smiled warmly "I always loved your fiery temper" This only gained a light ray from Chenxiang to graze Bai's ear, an unfortunate tree behind him, received the attack and burned to ashes.

"Don't joke around!" shouted Chenxiang with a murderous face.

"Okay, okay. Sorry, it's completely my fault" Bai apologized "You deserve to know the truth. I am not longer the Bai that you knew, he had disappeared" Chenxiang prepared to attack "But it's not like his existence extinguished. I continue being your Bai and at the same a completely different person"

Then Bai started telling all his story like when he explained to his family, in her case she stood there listening to the story never relaxing "I'm the true Bai and the previous one will never return. In some way, I can be considered to have killed him"

Chenxiang looked intensively at him "How could I know that you're telling the truth? For your story, you could even be that Paul and devoured Bai, only using his memories to pretend to be him"

"I can't. It doesn't matter what I tell, I won't be able to ensure that I was telling the truth. If you want to gain more comfort, my family accepted me like I am now". He diverted his gaze and said in a low voice "Too quickly. Those manipulators" he sighed.

He turned to Chenxiang and with firm eyes stated "Even if my personality and I changed, even if my feeling for you evolved, I wanted to tell you that" he clenched his sweaty hands "I love you!" he confessed "I loved you all this time, but I was too afraid to confront you, but this doesn't change my feelings!"

Chenxiang flinched back at his confession with a red and shocked face. She shook her head and calmed down "Do you remember what I said to you last time?"

"That I must hurry, you won't wait forever" Bai answered nervously. He looked down, sadness in his eyes "I am too late. The previous one should have confessed before" he sighed in resignation.

Chenxiang shook her head "No" she said in low voice "I am telling that now, it's your time to wait for me" Bai looked up seeing her red cheeks "I'll need to ask your family to confirm your story and heard their thoughts". For her tone of voice, Bai already knew that she believed in his story, it was a simple confirmation "Anyway, you're not the same, so I can't say that I would love you. We will need to spend more time to know each other better, we need to start over" Chenxiang breathed loudly calming herself. She looked at Bai's eyes and grinned "I am the most beautiful, charming and talented, the unmatched Bai Chenxiang" She extended her arm offering to Bai "Nice to meet you"

Bai was surprised at first but quickly smiled. He took Chenxiang's hand "It's my complete honor to meet you, my lady. I am Ning Bai" he lightly kissed Chenxiang's palm and his smile grew looking at her "Nice to meet you"
