My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Chapter 724: Chapter 202: To the Southern Wilderness, Took Only One Day (Seeking Subscriptions)

Cheng Guang nodded slightly with a peculiar expression, his demeanor containing some ambiguous feelings, then said, “Hmm, roughly speaking, I have met someone who bears some resemblance to you.”

Ning Qianxue, upon hearing Cheng Guang speak thus, wasn’t particularly surprised.

When Cheng Guang had asked her if she was still herself, Ning Qianxue felt that Cheng Guang, the Duke’s Heir, might have already seen through something.

Ning Qianxue sighed softly, a complex look in her clear eyes, and decided not to hide it from Cheng Guang any longer.

“Since that’s the case, there’s no need for me to keep hiding it from the Princely Heir.”

“Since the Princely Heir has come into contact with someone similar to me, I guess you might already know that we are both people from the Ancient Era, who later used some methods, either reincarnation or self-sealing, to sleep until now.”

…

“No matter what methods we used, the core purpose was only one, that is to survive, to live from the Dark Age into the dawn of a new era.”

“I am a reincarnation, and then I awakened the memories of my previous life.”

Upon saying this, the complex look in Ning Qianxue’s clear eyes deepened, her lips pursed slightly before she continued, “Though I have awakened the memories of my previous life, in essence, I am not the person I was before.”

“The impact of my previous life on me is not as significant as the impact of the life I’m living now.”

“Moreover, since the awakening happened too early, and I self-sealed for a while, these past ten-plus years are more important to me than my previous life.”

“All of the past life’s events seem like fleeting clouds to me, though incredibly real, there always seems to be a barrier between them and reality.”

As Ning Qianxue spoke, she couldn’t help but let out another sigh.

It seemed that Ning Qianxue felt very weary as she said these words, which turned her ordinarily cheerful and lively self into someone more melancholic and sentimental.

Cheng Guang had been standing silently on the side, listening attentively since Ning Qianxue started to speak, without interrupting her.

After he heard Ning Qianxue’s words.

Cheng Guang also understood the general situation.

Since Ning Qianxue said that she was ultimately herself, Cheng Guang didn’t need to obsess over it too much.

Who Ning Qianxue’s previous incarnation was didn’t matter to Cheng Guang.

As long as Ning Qianxue was Ning Qianxue, that was enough.

Even if there were some changes in personality, cultivation level.

That didn’t matter either.

Thinking this, Cheng Guang’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile, and then he stepped forward, wrapping Ning Qianxue’s soft and supple body into his embrace.

“It’s fine, as long as you are you, that’s all that matters.”

“Regarding your past life’s affairs, if you want to talk to me about them, then talk to me. If you don’t want to, there’s no need to.”

The moment Cheng Guang embraced Ning Qianxue, her body obviously stiffened for a moment. The memories of her previous life had some effect on her after all, and it seemed she had not yet adjusted to the experience.

After all, in the memories of her previous life, she had never had such an intimate contact with a man.

In her past life, even during the turbulent dark times when Heavenly Dao underwent changes and there were issues with cultivation, Ning Qianxue knew that she, too, was an entity courted and coveted by countless cultivators, Immortals, and Deities.

Had it not been for the protection of the Heavenly Court and the care of the Jade Emperor.

Ning Qianxue guessed that her previous life would not have been so peacefully lived.

This reincarnation.

Ning Qianxue could feel the loneliness emanating from her past self from the bottom of her heart.

Though she was watched by countless Immortals and Deities, in the eyes of many powerful beings with strong cultivation, she was at best considered a mere trophy.

Only because of the Jade Emperor’s authority did no deities dare to harbor any desires towards her.

Such safety brought peace, but it was too lonely.

Looking back on the thousands of years of her previous existence, she could count on her fingers the number of notable events in her life—most days spent in the cold solitude of the Lunar Palace, counting the days and months.

This very loneliness.

made Ning Qianxue particularly cherish the life she had after reincarnation.

Even with the strong influence of her past life and her cool nature, the Princely Heir, Cheng Guang, left many traces in her.

Especially…

Ning Qianxue, then thinking of some rather unfavorable images, couldn’t help but become emotional, her cheeks suddenly flushing a peachy color.

Her lips slightly pouted as she looked at Cheng Guang.

It seemed as if she was trying to appear angry.

However, to Cheng Guang, Ning Qianxue’s demeanor didn’t seem to be one of anger but rather looked like she was being coy.

Seeing Ning Qianxue in that moment, Cheng Guang couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

He knew Ning Qianxue at this moment was still Ning Qianxue, not completely overtaken by memories from her past life, and a big weight lifted from his heart as well.

Cheng Guang indulgently placed his hand on Ning Qianxue’s head and gently rubbed it.

“You are still you, and that’s good. You wouldn’t suddenly leave without saying goodbye, right?”

Cheng Guang asked with a smile.

Even though he already knew the answer in his heart, before he received Ning Qianxue’s definite response, Cheng Guang’s heart couldn’t help but race slightly.

He couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.

Ning Qianxue smiled and glanced at Cheng Guang, a cunning light flashing in her clear eyes.

Then she deliberately leaned close to Cheng Guang’s face, her lips nearly touching his cheek.
