Pregnant Cultivator, Doted by Big Boss

Celeste Grant lowered her head slightly without a word, but her mind was spinning.

He said his time was fifteen thousand years apart from hers. He also said that back in his era, her Cultivation World hadn’t even been born yet. It was just an empty void, and she didn’t even exist.

This meant her time was in his future. So... once she connected the dots, Celeste Grant drew in a sharp breath.

"GASP... Good heavens..."

"This is absurd!"

’Does this mean the time in the Ancient Mirror is the Demon Realm from fifteen thousand years ago? Then who is that man in the mirror? He’s the Demon God! The Demon God from fifteen thousand years ago. I wasn’t even born back then, and the Cultivation World didn’t exist. How could he possibly know me?’

’No, no... in a way, we’ve met now. It’s all such a strange twist of fate.’

"Heh... Am I going crazy? For something this bizarre to happen to me... even a novel wouldn’t dare have a plot this wild." At this moment, Celeste Grant didn’t know if she was happy, or just happy. Really... she couldn’t quite describe her feelings.

’Girls, you’re not going to believe this,’ Celeste Grant thought, ’but I just met my husband from fifteen thousand years ago! Ever since I started down the path of Cultivation, my view of the world has been completely rewritten over and over again.’

Lowering her head slightly, she gazed at the Ancient Mirror and blinked.

’I misunderstood! I thought Javier had returned to the Demonic Domain and forgotten me all over again. It looks like that’s not what happened.’

Now that she understood the situation, she suddenly felt a wave of relief. ’Thank goodness. Her husband was still in the Demonic Domain, fighting the Holy Land of the Immortal Domain.’

But at the same time she felt relieved, she was also bewildered. So, what exactly was this situation? Celeste Grant felt like her brain was short-circuiting.

The Demon God was the father of her child, her Taoist Companion, and Javier Sinclair’s true self. Even though the world connected through the Ancient Mirror was fifteen thousand years in the past, he was still her husband. There was no doubt about it. This version of him might not know her, but she was stubborn and stuck to her guns. He was, without a doubt, Javier Sinclair.

’So yes, he’s my husband.’

Perhaps even Celeste Grant herself hadn’t expected to meet him this early, all thanks to a twist of fate. She looked at the Mysterious Ancient Mirror in her hand and couldn’t help but murmur, "This Mysterious Ancient Mirror really is a Divine Artifact... it’s making my head spin."

She held the Ancient Mirror in front of her and called out to the other side.

"Archfiend, are you there?"

Silence from the other side.

Celeste Grant wasn’t angry that he was ignoring her. On the contrary, knowing the truth had invigorated her, and her eyes sparkled with curiosity and a desire to explore.

The Ancient Mirror in her hand was still glowing, but it only showed the sky, not his figure. Still, as long as the Divine Artifact was lit, it meant he was still there.

At this thought, she said, "I know what’s going on now. I’m in your future. You’re in the past—fifteen thousand years ago."

’Realizing this wasn’t the Javier she knew, Celeste was momentarily unsure how to act around him. But then she thought again, ’I can’t separate the two of them. He is him, period.’’

With that thought, Celeste Grant smiled faintly and said, "I know who you are. You’re the Demon God, aren’t you!"

There was no reply.

But Celeste Grant heard a soft scoff.

’He must be surprised that I know who he is.’

The realization that she was looking at the Demon God version of her husband from a timeline fifteen thousand years in the past brought a complicated expression to Celeste Grant’s face. She gave a hollow laugh and waved at him, taking the initiative to say hello.

"Lord Demon God, you probably don’t recognize me. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Celeste Grant. Haha... is it possible... that I’m your future wife?"

Still, no sound came from the Ancient Mirror.

Celeste Grant propped her elbows on her knees and held the Ancient Mirror up to her face. "I know it sounds absurd, but in your future, I really do become your Taoist Companion. And don’t be surprised that you fell for me. There’s no reason for love; one day in the future, you just... fell for me. You call me Celeste, you call me ’my dear,’ you call me ’wife.’ You even said that if I called you ’husband’ or ’brother,’ you’d give me your very life." She couldn’t help but laugh as she spoke.

「On the other side of the Ancient Mirror.」

Javier Sinclair sat in a wicker chair, leaning back. With his eyes closed, his ink-black hair spilled over the ancient vines of the tree. He held the Mysterious Ancient Mirror in one hand, and with a casual flip, placed it face down on his lap.

A voice—the woman’s—continued to drift from the Ancient Mirror in his hand. He opened his eyes a crack, his gaze falling on the ancient tree that was his only companion.

’In all the Demon God’s long eons of existence, this woman’s voice had probably featured more today than any other sound ever had.’

A flicker of confusion appeared in his golden eyes. ’Love? What is that?’

’And how could he ever say such undignified things? As for giving his life away just because she called him ’brother’ or ’husband’—that was even more impossible. He was the Demon God, an Innate Spirit born at the dawn of chaos, an ancient and immortal being.’

’Utter nonsense.’

’Simply undignified.’

The woman’s voice continued to echo in his ears.

"Don’t tell me you can’t believe it; I’m still in a daze myself. But anyway, I’m really happy to see you. No matter which ’you’ this is, from whatever time, I want to say it: Archfiend, I only love you."

Leaning against the ancient vines, Javier Sinclair remained silent, but the hand holding the Ancient Mirror tightened slightly.

’This woman... she said she only loves me?’

The Ancient Mirror was still face down on his lap, the voice emanating from it.

"Husband, are you there?"

"Are you there?"

"Archfiend, are you listening? Give me a peep if you can hear me."

Javier, who had been leaning against the ancient vines, sat up straight. He raised his hand and flipped the Ancient Mirror over. The woman’s face appeared in the Mysterious Ancient Mirror.

He finally couldn’t resist speaking.

"A peep? What do you take me for?"

She just laughed on the other end.

"Well, it’s your fault for being so quiet. I thought you couldn’t hear me! By the way, Lord Demon God, do you feel like you’ve just gotten yourself a free wife? Don’t you think you came out ahead on this one?"

At her words, the Demon God’s perpetually calm and stoic expression finally cracked.

"Not at all."

His voice was a few shades deeper when he spoke.

Celeste Grant just smiled. "It’s fine. You will."

Javier Sinclair: "..."

He remained silent, but his eyes, which seemed to see through all things, fell upon the woman’s face in the Ancient Mirror once more.

After a moment of silence, he asked.

"In the future... do I really become your Taoist Companion?"

Celeste Grant nodded. "That’s right! You’re the Demon God; you should be able to know everything, shouldn’t you? You’d be able to tell if I was lying."

Before he could reply,

she waved her hand in front of the Ancient Mirror, a smile on her face as she looked at him. "This is so amazing," she said. "To think I’d get to meet the you from this timeline."
