Chapter 577 25: You Are My Woman
Although it had long been suspected that the reincarnated form of the Empress might be my junior sister Zhao Ling'Er, when this scene truly unfolded before my eyes, Lu Chengfeng was still left dumbstruck.
The junior sister who had proactively revealed her maiden self to me turned out to be the Shenxiao Empress who had been invincible in this world for a hundred thousand years and single-handedly supported the Ninth Layer Heaven, a plot that couldn't be more fantastical.
After the initial shock and astonishment, Lu Chengfeng quickly regained his composure, and various thoughts swiftly crossed his mind.
"Since junior sister is indeed the reincarnated form of the Empress, then her previous actions towards me are understandable... I took her body in the Mortal Realm, but then abandoned her, not even avenging her father's death, and even married her father's concubine."
"However, the vastness of a Great Emperor's hundred thousand years of experience and memory is unimaginable. Compared to her original memory, the few decades of her reincarnated life should merely be a drop in the ocean, yet the Empress still acted against me."
"This can only indicate one thing... that her mortal memories have not left her unaffected, and may even have a profound influence?"
"Otherwise, for someone of her stature and position to target a minor figure like me is truly beneath her."
"If that's the case..."
The gaze Lu Chengfeng cast on the Empress gradually changed, "Empress or not, I don't care; I only know that the woman before me is my childhood sweetheart, my junior sister, my lover, one of the most important women in my life."
His expression gradually changed, "Junior sister, in the past it was my fault for losing you."
"Fortunately, I have finally found you again."
"This time, I will never leave you again, nor will I abandon you."
Lu Chengfeng carefully observed the Empress and found that although her aura was ancient and terrifying, with endless chaos surging behind her as if the Ninth Layer Celestial Palace loomed, her appearance was almost exactly like the junior sister Zhao Ling'Er.
No, it couldn't be said as exactly the same, to be precise, there were still some differences.
The Empress's face was more exquisite, without the slightest flaw, as if favored by Creation, every inch of her skin was incredibly delicate and soft, though the contours of her face hadn't changed much from before, the subtle changes significantly enhanced her beauty.
This face alone could make ordinary mortals lose their souls, it was truly peerlessly enchanting.
If the Zizai Celestial Demon gave an impression of seductive charm, and the White Tiger Divine Venerate gave an impression of cold elegance, then the Empress gave an impression of perfection.
Every man's taste in women is different, yet no matter how picky or with peculiar taste, upon seeing this face they would find it flawless.
To call her the greatest beauty of the Three Realms would not be an exaggeration!
However, Lu Chengfeng's gaze did not linger long on the Empress's face, and naturally shifted downward.
"Tsk, compared to before, they've grown quite a bit, even comparable to Suyi, not bad, not bad."
"And down there, round as a full moon, curves alluring, indeed she has grown up..."
Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but marvel, his junior sister, whom he hadn't seen for many years, had turned out to be so beautifully captivating upon their reunion, how could one not be moved.
Let alone the fact her first blood was willingly offered to me.
Recalling those days in that dark and cramped thatched hut, where junior sister's actions were both awkward and proactive, with her slightly cool skin, coupled with her passion and infatuation for me.
Scenes from the past flitted through his mind, Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but savor them in detail, as if reenacting the past, savoring and relishing each frame, every detail, every angle.
And when compared to the Empress before him, one couldn't deny that such a feeling was too exhilarating.
Lu Chengfeng felt his heart pounding, his eyes becoming increasingly fervent, with golden light flowing through his pupils, even beginning to burn like flames, as his gaze on the Empress grew increasingly intense.
"If you keep staring at me like this, I will directly ruin those eyes of yours." The Empress's previously somewhat bewildered eyes suddenly met with Lu Chengfeng's. Such immense memories would be an incredibly heavy burden for others, but with her cultivation, she needed only a dozen or so breaths to digest them.
She felt somewhat heavy and oppressed. Everything that transpired within those hundred thousand years of memories brought her pressure.
She was the only Great Emperor of the current era, able to single-handedly support the Ninth Layer Heaven, the invincible Shenxiao Empress of the world for a hundred thousand years.
Yet, with her cultivation, she could not delve into the nature of time.
Long ago, she sensed something amiss; no matter how profound her cultivation and combat power were, the entire Three Realms seemed as if incomplete, making it incredibly difficult to find traces of time.
Clearly, time kept flowing, clearly birth, aging, sickness, and death continued in the mortal world, clearly Immortals, Buddhas, and holy ones still had a time of death. The passage of time in heaven and earth had never ceased...
But when numerous Immortal Gods sought to comprehend the mysteries of time, they could only glean a void... nothing, nothing existed.
This bizarre sight once caused the Tao Hearts of countless Immortal Gods to shatter, making them even doubt whether the world they were in was real, or merely an illusory existence like a dream bubble.
If not, as the ontological basis of the world, how could time have absolutely no presence whatsoever?
The Empress, or rather Zhao Ling'Er, her true self remained in slumber beyond the Nine Heavens, supporting the Ninth Layer Heaven with her power, fending off the invasion of Chaos, while simultaneously comprehending the mysteries of the Three Realms and Chaos.
