The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2141 - 2138: First Encounter
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
......
That year.
Ye Xuan was at an absolute peak. Even when inhabiting that monster body, he could make himself appear normal through the Immortal Profound Power.
Except for his face, which, even after transformation, remained as it was when Ye Xuan was eleven.
Because Ye Xuan wanted to remember himself.
Not to lose himself in the passage of time.
The first half of his plans had been completely fulfilled.
What he needed to do was return to his true body.
Although the monster body possessed the power of Undying, Ye Xuan was sure that should he take that body to the Emperor’s Burial Ground to find the Emperor Burial Lord,
he would still suffer great losses.
The best method was to return to his original form.
And this had been Ye Xuan’s wish for countless ages.
Before this, he needed this era to be under his control.
At this time, it was still the era of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty was at its zenith.
But in truth, everyone knew.
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor had long since disappeared for many years.
For quite a long time, no one had seen the Heavenly Dragon Emperor.
But whether or not the Heavenly Dragon Emperor was alive did not affect Ye Xuan.
He wasn’t planning to find the Heavenly Dragon Emperor either.
He planned to cultivate two Great Emperors himself, to govern this era.
As for why two Great Emperors, it was also to have them balance each other.
This.
Was the beginning of everything before the era of the Double Emperors began.
Ye Xuan traveled many places.
Not just the Ten Realms.
All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, he had visited many worlds.
But ultimately found none to his satisfaction.
As the eternal Emperor Master, Ye Xuan’s vision was very high.
His standards for selecting disciples were naturally high as well.
Both talent and character were deemed very important.
After spending nearly ten thousand years walking through All Heavens, and observing thousands of potential disciples,
Ye Xuan eventually gave up.
Not a single one was chosen.
But Ye Xuan was not at all impatient, for he knew his true self would not return until ninety thousand years later.
He still had time.
He returned to the Ten Realms.
Choosing from among the Ten Realms.
After all, upon careful consideration, the choices within the Ten Realms seemed more abundant.
On the third year of returning to the Ten Realms, he spotted a young girl on an unremarkable continent in the Cloud Mountain Great World.
She was a girl of the Cloud Clan.
Her simple white attire was clean and natural.
Her eyes brimming with Spiritual Energy seemed like the purest spring water in the world.
But Ye Xuan did not directly approach this girl, instead, using his Divine Skills, he calculated all of her past.
This kind of cautiousness was a habit Ye Xuan had cultivated over countless ages.
Upon discerning that this Cloud Clan girl named Changxi had no issues, Ye Xuan began observing her.
Three months passed.
Ye Xuan actively entered Changxi’s line of sight.
Ye Xuan asked a question.
Do you want to become stronger?
Changxi pondered for a while and shook her head, answering: No.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly, recognizing her as an honest girl.
Changxi had no desire for strength.
But she possessed the potential and qualities to become strong.
This was what Ye Xuan valued.
Ye Xuan did not rush to accept her as a disciple, but rather asked Changxi if she could accompany him for a period of time.
Changxi looked at this person before her, who appeared normal but with the face of a young boy, hesitated for a bit, but eventually nodded.
Because she had no friends.
When she was one year old, her father passed away from illness.
Ever since, she had relied on her mother.
But her mother was also in poor health.
Two years ago, she too passed away from illness.
After burying her mother on a hill not far from her father,
she had been alone ever since.
In these remote mountains.
She had seen other people, but they all seemed afraid of her.
But now, someone was willing to talk with her.
Which felt rather nice.
Later on.
She had asked this person, who became her Master and husband, Emperor Ye brother. Emperor Ye had said, within her was a terrifying power, one that repelled cultivators even more.
Like an innate intimidation.
As if beasts meeting a fierce tiger.
And this was an additional trait of her supreme talents.
Of course, she only knew this later; the current Changxi did not understand this.
In the days that followed.
Ye Xuan accompanied Changxi from dawn till dusk.
Well...
Ye Xuan didn’t do much, only watched Changxi work, occasionally chatting with her during breaks.
That was all.
But from start to finish, Changxi never felt impatient, even if she had a lot of work in her hands, she never thought, ’I’m so busy, why doesn’t this guy help?’
Perhaps in Changxi’s view, tasks were her own to complete, and having this Emperor Ye brother talking to her was nice enough.
This continued for another half year.
Ye Xuan was waiting outside the hut early in the morning as Changxi was about to wake up.
Upon waking up, seeing Ye Xuan standing there as usual, Changxi greeted with a smile: "Good morning, Emperor Ye brother."
Ye Xuan said nothing and simply raised his hand lightly.
In an instant, Changxi witnessed her newly planted seeds sprout with visible speed, rot, then return into the soil, transforming into nutrients.
This cycle of reincarnation seemed endless.
Upon seeing this scene, Changxi’s pupils dilated in disbelief.
She had never seen methods like this.
Ye Xuan asked a question.
The same first question he had asked Changxi.
Do you want to become stronger?
This time, Changxi neither nodded nor shook her head. She gazed at the Emperor Ye brother who had accompanied her for over half a year, then broke into a slight smile: "Emperor Ye brother, indeed Xiao Xi knows we are not people from the same world, but it doesn’t matter, Xiao Xi is very happy that you have accompanied her for so long."
Ye Xuan grinned at her words: "Would you be willing to come to my world?"
Changxi rarely appeared uneasy. She did not answer Ye Xuan, instead continuing with her day’s work.
Her life was simple.
But also hard.
She had to labor.
So as not to starve to death.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan was not in a rush. This time he joined Changxi in her labors without employing any Divine Skills.
That day, neither of them spoke further.
Until night fell and Changxi had finished cooking, she called for Emperor Ye brother to come to eat.
On the table, there were only two vegetable dishes and one plate of preserved vegetables.
Changxi dined gracefully, taking small bites of the shiny grains.
Not at all like someone who labored.
Just like when Ye Xuan first saw her, wearing a clean white dress and having eyes filled with spiritual brilliance.
Both ate in silence.
After finishing, Changxi naturally cleaned up everything.
As night came,
rather than stargazing in the yard with Ye Xuan as usual, Changxi went to bed early, even without saying goodnight to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan sat alone in the courtyard, gazing at the stars.
Inside the hut.
Changxi curled up in her blankets, tossed and turned, unable to sleep the entire night.
The next morning.
Changxi got up, tidied her blankets, and, having washed up, prepared to head out to work.
Upon stepping out, however, she froze.
The familiar figure was missing from the courtyard.
