Chapter 759: Yue Mengyi
Yue Mengyi’s face looked pretty, soft, and radiant. The gentle curve of her jaw and the faint blush on her cheeks gave her a youthful look. Her eyes were large and clear, framed by silver lashes, radiating warmth. Her lips were full and lightly tinted, curved in a confident smile.
Yue Mengyi has long, silvery-white hair that flows freely behind her back. The upper part was neatly arranged using a small silver hairpin, while the rest cascades elegantly past her waist. She has a tall, slender yet strong figure. Her dress was crafted from a deep sapphire blue satin that fitted closely to her figure, emphasizing her full and prominent chest mixed with a perfectly defined waist. Her body exudes a strong yet calming aura, giving others a feeling of security and comfort.
Chen Li let out a soft sigh. "Little Mengyi, you should stop addressing me as a prince. My father is Chen Zhen, not Sun Taiyang, so I’m not the prince of the Three Realm."
"But—"
"Big Sis Mengyi, you must listen to my brother." Yue Mengyi looked at Sun Xing’er in confusion, as she did not know the details of the relationship between Chen Li, Chen Zhen, and Sun Taiyang. "Instead, you can address him as Chen Li, as that is his name in this lifetime."
Yue Mengyi was even more confused by that. "What do you mean by his identity in this lifetime, Princess? Does he have another identity?"
"He—"
Before Sun Xing’er could tell Yue Mengyi the truth, Chen Li had already transformed into his past form, causing her to tremble violently. "Do you remember me now, Little Mengyi?"
"Emperor." Yue Mengyi unconsciously shed tears, but she hurriedly knelt down with one leg in the air. "Emperor Long! I didn’t know that you were back, and I—"
"Alright, that’s enough." Chen Li returned to his original form, lifted Yue Mengyi to her feet, and wiped her tears. "You’re old now, but you’re still as whiny as you were when you were little, Little Mengyi."
Yue Mengyi’s smile blossomed before she hugged him. "Welcome back, Emperor Long. I’m glad that you’re back, and I hope you will never leave me again."
"Haha." Chen Li laughed as he hugged Yue Mengyi, rubbing her back. "I’m sorry, Little Mengyi. In the past, I left not because I wanted to, but because my injuries were too severe at that time, and I ultimately met my demise."
Yue Mengyi hugged Chen Li tighter and started to sob, but she was sobbing because she was happy. However, her attitude confused Sun Xing’er, who didn’t know about their past relationship.
’What was the relationship between the two of them in the past? Why do I feel like the two of them had a special closeness in the past? Is this the reason my mother sent Big Sis Mengyi to me?’ Sun Xing’er wondered to herself as she observed Yue Mengyi, who was still sobbing with a longing expression.
*Swoosh*
Sun Xing’er turned to Feng Xian’er, who immediately put her index finger to her lips, signaling her not to say anything. ’Are you confused about their relationship, Xing’er?’
’Yes.’ Sun Xing’er nodded slightly. ’Why do I feel like Big Sis Mengyi is acting strange? She’s not usually like that, and she always dislikes any man, but she’s so close to my brother.’
’Do you know the identity of Yue Mengyi’s mother?’ Once again, Sun Xing’er nodded to Feng Xian’er. ’Yue Mengqi’s late husband was one of his loyal subordinates, but he died when she was pregnant with their daughter. He took them to his side after she gave birth to him, and he adored Mengyi since she was born. He taught her cultivation and many other things, and he loved her like his own daughter.’
’Huh?’ Sun Xing’er was shocked to hear that.
’Surprise?’ Sun Xing’er nodded to Feng Xian’er, who immediately continued. ’Thanks to his closeness to Mengyi, Long Wang became close to her mother, and he eventually took her as one of his concubines, which made their relationship even closer.’
Sun Xing’er massaged her forehead after hearing all that and looked at Yue Mengyi with a strange gaze.e. ’Honestly, I don’t know much about Big Sis Mengyi because she prefers to keep herself closed off from many people, so I didn’t expect them to have such a relationship in the past.’
’Hehe.’ Feng Xian’er chuckled in response. ’Just before the rebellion occurred, Yue Mengyi went to the Three Realm to visit her grandparents’ graves, and Long Wang asked Yue Huang to keep her there; otherwise, she would have died with us in the rebellion.’
’I see.’ Sun Xing’er nodded in understanding. ’I often see Big Sis Mengyi holding her mother’s life jade, and it’s still intact, which means she should still be alive now.’
’Honestly, I already guessed that Yue Mengqi was not dead, as she was one of the strongest among Long Wang’s concubines, and her strength was slightly above Yue Huang’s.’ Although she didn’t know Long Wang’s concubines, Sun Xing’er didn’t doubt Feng Xian’er’s words; Otherwise, they would not serve to accompany the emperor who once led the entire cultivation world. ’I can’t guess about her whereabouts, but Xiao Shijian should know about it, and we just need to save her when we’re ready.’
After she satisfied her longing, Yue Mengyi hurriedly released Chen Li from her arms before being stunned by Feng Xian’er’s presence.
Although Feng Xian’er had been reborn twice since her death over a thousand years ago, her face was not much different from her past face, and she only looked younger, so Yue Mengyi could immediately recognize her. "Empress, I—"
"What did I tell you in the past about the way you addressed me, Little Mengyi?" Feng Xian’er asked with a playful smile.
"Haha." Yue Mengyi laughed awkwardly before calling out to Feng Xian’er. "Mother Feng."
Feng Xian’er immediately pulled Yue Mengyi in front of her, hugged her, and rubbed her head. "I’m glad I still have the chance to meet you again, Little Mengyi. You’re a grown woman now, and you’re no less beautiful than Mengqi."
"Mother Feng, I’m happy because I can meet and hug you again like this." Yue Mengyi hugged Feng Xian’er back. "I was truly sad and desperate after Empress Huang informed me of your deaths, and I thought I would never see you two again."
"Foolish girl." Feng Xian’er released Yue Mengyi and rubbed her cheek. "I am a phoenix, remember? A phoenix can never truly die, and I will be reborn after a long process. Although it will take a long time, we will definitely meet again in the future. However, I did not expect that Yue Huang would send you to Sun Xing’er, and we could meet sooner."
Yue Mengyi nodded to her. "Honestly, I was confused by Empress Huang’s decision to send me away to Princess Xing’er because she had always forbidden me from leaving our realm for the past thousand years. However, she suddenly sent me away, and she didn’t explain to me that you two had returned."
"Haha." Feng Xian’er laughed softly. "Yue Huang is a smart woman, so I believe that she won’t tell anyone about our return. She deliberately sent you to help Sun Xing’er because of your past relationship with us."
"I think so." Yue Mengyi then looked at Chen Li. "How did you two reunite so quickly, Mother Feng?"
"Actually, we were reincarnated on the same planet, and we met about four decades ago. Since then, we’ve been together, even though we haven’t regained our past memories." Yue Mengyi was truly surprised to hear Feng Xian’s answer. "Perhaps, fate had already arranged everything, and it deliberately brought us together much sooner. By the way, our lives now are very different from the past, and we already have twins."
"Really!? Are you two really having twins, Mother Feng?" Yue Mengyi asked in a high-pitched voice filled with excitement.
"Yes." Feng Xian’er turned in one direction, and Xiao Hei quickly appeared before them, bringing Chen Long with her.
"A beauty!" Chen Long blurted out as he stared at Yue Mengyi in amazement.
"Haha." Xiao Hei and the others laughed at that.
Feng Xian’er took her son from Xiao Hei and introduced him to Yue Mengyi. "His name is Chen Long, and he is a phoenix like me."
"Huh?" Yue Mengyi was confused by this because Chen Li was clearly human, so their son should be a mixed breed.
"Honestly, we’re both confused about how our twins could be born as phoenixes, and we still haven’t found the answer to this." Feng Xian’er then spoke to her son. "Long’er, her name is Yue Mengyi, and she was our daughter in the past. Therefore, you should address her as a big sister, okay?"
Instead, Chen Long pouted, confusing Feng Xian’er and the others. She wanted to ask her son, but Yan Qingcheng was flying toward them at high speed, carrying Feng Yan’er with her.
"Mengyi, she is our daughter, and her name is Feng Yan’er." Feng Xian’er then spoke to her daughter. "Yan’er, her name is Yue Mengyi, and she was our daughter in the past, so she is your big sister."
Feng Yan’er waved her hand to Yue Mengyi. "Nice to meet you, Big Sis Mengyi."
"Haha." Yue Mengyi softly laughed and took Feng Yan’er from Yan Qingcheng. "Nice to meet you too, Yan’er. Actually, I’m not their biological daughter, but they already consider me to be their daughter, as my mother was your father’s concubine in the past."
