Chapter 127: Lin Qingcheng or Ye Qingcheng?

Lin Ao Tian finally stood in front of her, gently raising his hand to touch her head. His voice was unusually gentle, and his face showed a hint of affection.

“Ye’er, you’ve suffered all these years… Why aren’t you wearing the ghost face mask?”

These words slowly reached Ye Qingcheng’s ears, and she felt the strong yet gentle hand.

Boom!

Her body trembled, her pupils dazed.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

These words were exactly what her brother had said back then!

It’s really… really Brother!!!!

Ye’er, Ye’er!

Only Brother knew her surname was Ye…

Because he was the one who gave her that surname!

The world only knew her as Empress Qingcheng, but her surname had never been mentioned, long buried in the dust of history, unknown to anyone!

And the ghost face mask, their only childhood toy!

No one else could possibly know this!

Lin Ao Tian stroked Ye Qingcheng’s head, his expression unchanged, staring at her astonished face, but inside, another voice spoke.

Huh?!

Qingcheng, what’s going on?

Could it really be her?

I just wanted to test… but this reaction…!

If it really is her, how did she end up here, in Wu Shi’s relic?

Suddenly!

Lin Ao Tian’s mind flashed with something Wu Shi had once said.

“You’ll thank me later!”

“This is a great gift…”

Hiss…

Could Wu Shi have brought the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden from her childhood across the river of time?

No way!

Even an emperor doing that, overturning established events and altering reincarnation, would bear the consequences of all causality.

Moreover!

Others wouldn’t just watch him do it!

As Lin Ao Tian pondered!

Whoosh…!

A fragrant scent filled the air, and in Lin Ao Tian’s shocked pupils.

The young girl before him was gone.

Replaced by a woman with long, black hair cascading over her chest and back, dressed in a snow-white gown, beautiful beyond words.

Her skin was white as jade; her beauty and aura were ethereal, as if she could ascend to immortality at any moment.

She was so beautiful it felt unreal, as if she belonged in the celestial realm.

Her eyes, capable of piercing the entire heavens, shimmered with tears.

The next second!

Lin Ao Tian felt a tightness in his chest, a fragrant scent filling his nose.

The woman had thrown herself into Lin Ao Tian’s arms, holding him tightly.

“Brother… I’m sorry… Ye’er couldn’t help but come find you…”

Then, she looked up from Lin Ao Tian’s chest, showing a hint of grievance.

“Brother won’t blame me, right?”

…

At this moment.

Lin Ao Tian was completely frozen, using his strong self-control to avoid showing his shock.

But inside, he was already in turmoil!

What the hell!

What’s happening?!

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden is in my arms?

I just wanted to test her identity?

What sorry?

What is this?!

Lin Ao Tian had spoken in her brother’s tone because he thought it unlikely she was the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden. If he had acted too familiarly from the start, it wouldn’t have been appropriate.

Secondly, if she was indeed the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, speaking this way might stir her emotions, making her reveal herself!

Because Lin Ao Tian knew how important her brother was to her!

Lin Ao Tian had considered that this might anger the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, an emperor.

But he wasn’t worried at all.

He knew many plot points unknown to her, even how to reverse the heavens and save her brother.

Just this alone, the emperor wouldn’t harm him.

She might even be grateful!

Lin Ao Tian looked down at the woman whose beauty transcended limits, taking a deep breath.

Hiss…!

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden could be like this?

This isn’t scientific!

Then, Lin Ao Tian’s mind recalled the earth-shattering deeds of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden…

A woman who never showed her face but roamed this fantasy world.

No one knew her true strength, and over time, her figure was almost forgotten.

Until one day, a ruthless demon appeared on the Azure Blue Star.

Regardless of race—demon, monster, foreigner, or human—if seen by this demon, they would be killed in the most brutal ways.

Even if the demon encountered a tough opponent, he could escape using his skills.

When the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, fresh from seclusion, learned of this, she single-handedly fought the demon with overwhelming power.

That battle was cataclysmic, darkening the skies, dimming the sun and moon, even the heavens were slashed.

They fought evenly for months, with no clear winner.

Eventually.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden heard that the demon secretly sent his disciples to continue his murderous ways, sparing no one from the elderly to infants.

In her rage, she abandoned her plan to capture the demon alive for an apology.

She sacrificed her treasured sword, using her own blood as a medium, and decapitated the demon.

But that wasn’t all.

The most terrifying part was, after killing the demon, she found a strange fire in the world, imprisoning the demon’s soul within it.

Ensuring he could never escape for all eternity.

After doing all this, when everyone thought she was leaving.

She chopped off the demon’s manhood, and that wasn’t the end.

She went to the depths of the land of death, finding an unformed earth dog.

A strong body, regardless of its origin, is a deadly attraction to beasts.

In an instant, the demon’s manhood was swallowed whole, not even bones left.

From that day, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden’s name became a hot topic, and she disappeared.

No one saw her again.

Right!

Lin Qingcheng—Ye Qingcheng…

What the hell!

The more Lin Ao Tian thought, the more he felt uneasy. He wanted to say.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden, you must have mistaken me, I was just joking…

At this moment.

Outside the palace.

Ji Yue’er couldn’t contain her curiosity and quietly stepped in.

“Brother Ao Tian, what are you doing?”

Ji Ziyue’s figure appeared in the palace.

She cautiously looked towards the main hall.

Huh?

Where’s Brother Ao Tian?

Then she suddenly thought of something, nervously looking towards the jade bed.

Phew…!

“Thank goodness!”

Ji Yue’er quietly sighed in relief, patting her chest.

At this moment, a voice reached her ears.
