Shen Xinya's concert finally concluded.
At the end of the concert, right after she finished singing Love of God, Shen Xinya gave a speech that obviously had not been prepared beforehand; anyone could easily notice it because of how her words got stuck in her throat due to agitated emotions. But, this kind of speech, one that had not been prepared by someone else but a speech that was spoken from the depths of her heart, had earned the tears and appreciation of countless fans.
Shen Xinya really loved to sing; this was something that anyone knew. However, stars could not really live a normal life. Whenever they went out on the street, the most famous stars had to cover their faces constantly or they would immediately be swamped by a crowd of people asking for selfies and pictures... Shen Xinya loved to sing. But she really wanted to live a normal life. A life where she didn't need to hide anymore; although this might be a bit difficult at first, as time went by the people would gradually forget about her or just start paying attention to other stars rising from the dark night sky.
After the concert ended, Shen Xinya returned to her dressing room to change clothes and finish some arrangements. Meanwhile, the fans began to leave one by one in an orderly manner, feeling complicated emotions.
Did they enjoyed Shen Xinya's concert? More than ever. Most probably the great majority of them felt that this had been the best concert they had ever attended in their lives... Unfortunately, a dark feeling as if a rock weighing several hundred kilos overwhelmed them; because they knew that from that moment on, the superstar Shen Xinya would never be on stage again. From now on, all of them could only hear her voice or see her beauty through recorded audios and videos that circulated on the net.
Of course, although many of the men in love with Shen Xinya had grudgingly accepted that she also deserved to love and be loved, not all of them took it kindly. Many male fans had extremely ugly expressions as if someone had forced them to eat several flies alive.
Not all of them were willing to accept gladly that the woman they loved threw herself voluntarily into the embrace of another man.

Xie Feng drove the car to his house in the Golden Emperor villa complex in silence while Yue Kai and Hu Chen drove their own cars not far behind him.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat strange. Although there were several people there, no one said anything. The atmosphere was not suffocating or uncomfortable, but a strange feeling of worry and uncertainty surrounded everyone.
Xie Yao, Mu Wuying, and Han Xue Nai occasionally glanced toward the driver's seat; even Gu Qianxue easily noticed that something was not right.
Xie Feng felt really strange. Many questions haunted his mind again and again.
What was all that he saw?
That beautiful woman, although Xie Feng didn't know what her name was, if he saw her again he was sure he would be able to identify her. The aura surrounding the woman's body was strange, something Xie Feng had only ever felt very faintly from Xie Yao's mother... It was a very warm feeling, a feeling that only a mother could radiate.
Besides, there was also that little girl...
It was a pity that Xie Feng was seeing everything from the small boy's point of view so there were many things that he could not confirm since while the boy was moving or talking, Xie Feng could not control any actions; it was as if he was watching a movie from a first point of view.
Finally, Xie Feng looked in the rearview mirror of the vehicle and noticed the worried looks on the girls' faces. Even little Han Xue Nai was looking at him strangely on the sly.
After hesitating for several minutes and not wanting to worry his loved ones anymore, Xie Feng sighed before slowly saying, "I... I guess I have a mother and a sister."
As if lightning had struck the earth in the middle of a summer night, Xie Feng's words took all the beauties beside him by surprise. For a moment none of them had any reaction other than to stare straight ahead with stunned expressions.
Mu Wuying was the first to snap out of her daze. As if she had received some kind of stimulation, she moved from her seat by leaning her body forward and hurriedly asked, "Feng! That thing you said, what do you mean specifically?"
Of all the girls present, except Han Xue Nai, Xie Feng had already told all of them that he simply could not remember anything beyond the end of his ten years. He didn't even remember his actual birthday accurately, so he wasn't sure if he was actually 20 or 21 years old. He also didn't quite know if his memories had been erased from his tenth birthday backward or if it had been from his eleventh birthday backward.
Xie Feng didn't remember anything about his family, he didn't remember why he was in that orphanage, he didn't remember anything. It was as if someone had given him a big blow on the head causing him to have amnesia and making him forget everything about his early life.
"I... I don't know how to explain it." Xie Feng hesitated for a moment and, after thinking better of it, he decided not to say anything about the strange things he saw. Even he himself didn't know exactly what he saw and wasn't 100% sure about who those people were.
"During the concert, my mind suddenly went blank and I started remembering things that never happened to me... At least, not that I remember." Xie Feng explained very slowly, choosing his words carefully. "In those strange memories there was a beautiful woman in her thirties, she had just given birth to a little girl and I watched the whole scene slowly unfold from the point of view of a small boy."
"It was just before the end of the concert, wasn't it?" Xie Yao asked, remembering the moment when Xie Feng had a blank stare as if he was looking off into a far away place. At the time she was worried, but now that she found out the reason, she felt incredibly happy.
Xie Yao was so happy that she wanted to cry out to express her joy. Probably only she and Mu Wuying knew how much torment Xie Feng had suffered all these years due to not being able to remember his early years. Not being able to remember if he had a family, not being able to remember if he had done something wrong to be abandoned or if something bad had happened to his blood parents had always been a great pain to him. Now that Xie Feng was beginning to show small hints of memories, how could Xie Yao not feel incredibly happy?
"Yes. It was at that time." Xie Feng nodded and confirmed Xie Yao's thoughts. But before he could say anything else, he was interrupted.
"Feng, what else do you remember? Other than the hair color of the person who might be your mother, do you remember anything about the little girl? Age difference? Hair color? Eye color?" Mu Wuying threw question after question while one of her hands unconsciously clutched tightly on Xie Feng's shoulder as if she was afraid that he would suddenly run away without answering.
Xie Feng and the rest of the girls looked at her with strange eyes. Mu Wuying seemed overly agitated, which was somewhat strange. However, everyone attributed it to her being too excited about the new information.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Feng answered, "Let me calm down a little to clear my mind. At present, it is hard for me to accept and understand many things, so I can't remember many things I saw in full detail."
Mu Wuying took a deep breath to force herself to keep calm before removing her hand from Xie Feng's shoulder. She nodded and said nothing more, but it was obvious that her mature and calm demeanor that was so characteristic of her was no longer there.
Han Xue Nai simply watched and listened to the conversation silently without interfering. Seeing that the topic had temporarily stopped, she simply continued to look out the window in silence, watching the cars pass next to her and the scenery changing swiftly.
...
...
After leaving Mu Wuying at the university, Xie Feng drove back to the Golden Emperor villa complex. He and the three beauties, two big and one small, had a quick and light snack before connecting to the virtual world again.
Currently, Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue were grinding on a level 25 monster map. Thanks to Xie Yao's healing and Gu Qianxue's powerful magic attack damage, the two girls, although they were alone, were doing a great job as a team... Xie Yao was currently level 22 and Gu Qianxue was level 21, only slightly behind.
Meanwhile, little Han Xue Nai was fighting low level monsters in the beginner village. According to the little girl, she would soon be able to reach Eminentis City so that she could have fun with everyone.

[Welcome to Samsara world. Wish you a happy reincarnation].
Xie Feng logged on and was greeted by the same old message, by the same familiar female voice. However, his mind was currently quite agitated so he did not pay the slightest attention to it.
