Chapter 4220 - The Inverse
It was a face straight from Tianming's distant past. She used to be a very pretty girl to him, but as time passed, she faded away to mediocrity. He had gone from the moral world to the world of ascendants, astral gods and cosmic gods, after all.
The so-called story to be continued was one that had already ended as far as Tianming was concerned when the girl called Mu Qingqing hung from the door of Flameyellow Scions Institute. It was not a comma, it was a period. Yet, this cosmic goddess in black had changed the period into a comma.
Tianming blinked nonstop at first before forcing his eyes to stay open as she stared at her. She was a thousand meters in height, matching Tianming's current size! Her face did emanate a kind of inward glow that suggested she was an advanced cosmic-god lifeform. Every inch of her features looked finely chiseled. Yet, somehow, these features all together added up to resemble the person he used to know, Mu Qingqing. It was just like how Tianming could still recognize Moran despite her having gone from mortal all the way to cosmic god. She looked physically the same, yet grew more beautiful with each advancement.
This woman, however, was slightly different from the one he knew. Mu Qingqing was a fan of white dresses, while this figure was clad in galaxy black, cold and silent. However, her reddened eyes could not mask the powerful feelings that bubbled beneath. Just like that, they looked at each other for a long time.
"Mu Qingqing," Tianming said in an odd tone of voice.
"That is my real name," she said, almost choking from her tears.
"Impossible. I've already seen your unveiled appearance in the wondersky realm. You didn't look like this back then."
She had seemed incredibly normal to the point that it wasn't a face noteworthy enough to remember. Tianming couldn't recall how she looked even if he wanted to. Smiling, she shook her head and said in a blame-like tone, "If I had shown you what I really looked like, would you really come here?"
She did have a point. Tianming would be even less inclined to come had that been the case. This was just too weird!
"Is this really what you look like?" Her looks and name... and a story that was yet to conclude. The pain from his first love had left a scar on his heart, but he would never have fond feelings for Mu Qingqing again, for she was the one who had caused the death of Midas, Tianming's first lifebound beast all the way back.
