381 The Distant Past Part Three

Late into the night the two laid in bed. Tang Ming held Qin An in his arms. All his dreams had finally come true on this night. He had made Qin An his. "An, from this moment on you will be Tang An, my wife."

"Mmm… I would hope so after doing that. Otherwise, I would make sure you would never be with another woman again." Tang An teasingly smiled. But for some reason, Tang Ming felt a chill run down his back, He knew that smile was fake and that she would do what she said. After seeing that young master disappear without a trace he did not dare to underestimate Tang An. He couldn't fathom the power his new wife had.

"But you know our two races are not allowed to be together…" Tang Ming said solemnly. He had heard from one of his elders that celestials and cultivators could not marry or have a baby together. It was a law that had been passed down through the ages.

"We can only try. What is the worst they could do? My clan can't do a thing to me. If they wish to kick me out then I will leave. As long as I can be with you I do not care. To me, in this life, I only wish to be with the man I love." Tang An said as she lifted her head, kissing Tang Ming's lips.

"The same goes for me. We can try speaking to my clan elders and see what they say. Even if we get kicked out I am fine with it. We can just roam the universe and find a place to settle down."

Years later…

"An run! Those damn Creators just won't give up!" Tang Ming yelled as he waved his sword sending out a sword light at the incoming enemy.

"Ming, we will survive this!" Tang An, waved her hand creating a massive black hole causing the enemies to halt their advance.

"You damn heretics! You know the law! Your two races are not to mix!" An old man yelled out in rage.

This was the life of Tang An and Tang Ming, they would run from inner world to inner world being chased by the creators and the people they sent after them. Their path in life was filled with much bloodshed. They tossed everything behind them when their clans rejected their relationship. They cared not for what was said. They decided that they would never part again. That they would fight the heavens if they had to in order to be together.

It was not until one day when Tang An had finally become pregnant that they decided to escape to the outer worlds. They settled down on a small planet that had very little magicules and spiritual qi. They took the last name Higuchi and gave birth to Tang Ai formally named Akari to match the local naming convention.

"Although there were many dangers, it only brought me and your mother closer together. My love for her will never change. I will still fight the heavens for her. The same goes for you. The name we originally gave you was Tang Ai. But to allow you to mix with the people of Japan we changed it to Akari. Now your name is Alicia. We will call you by whichever you prefer." Tang Ming said.

"Akari is fine. Between you two and Blake who calls me this name in private, I would prefer that you two call me Akari. It reminds me of my past life and brings me warmth knowing that my parents still treat me as they did back then." Alicia was happy her parents were willing to talk with her and tell her about their past. 

"Now as for the future… We have received some bad news..." Tang An let out a sigh. 

"Oh?" Alicia was confused, what bad news could they have found out within the past few days.

"You remember the dragon and phoenix manifestation during your wedding ceremony?" Tang An Asked.

"Mmm… it was very pretty."

"Well, some powerful people showed up to your wedding and explained to me that the manifestation was called the sign of the ruler. I did not want to say anything at the time in order to not ruin your wedding day and nights. But from what those powerful people told me is that there are two more continents on this planet which are hidden. They are normally surrounded by a magic barrier and the people there are very powerful, much more powerful than those found on this continent. But now because of that manifestation, those powers will come and try to hunt down the ones who are supposed to become the ruler of this world." Tang An explained.

"And here I thought peaceful days were ahead." Alicia looked up at the sky and sighed. "What will come will come. If they want to try to kill me and Blake then we will kill them first. If they want to try to kill us because of some sign then we will do just that and become the ruler of this world. Who cares how powerful they are, I just need to become even more powerful right?"

"Now that is my, Tang Ming's daughter talking!" 

"Yep, this is our daughter! Akari, we will also be here by your side. So this fight you will not be fighting alone." Tang An said as she pulled Alicia into a hug.

Alicia smiled and enjoyed the warmth of a mother's hug as she nodded her head. "I know, thank you. Also…. Mother can I have you take a look at my son..."
