Chapter 1184

Female Emperor's Past

Female Emperor was standing still on the glacier like a sculpture right now .

Her eyes were still closed tightly and there was no expression on her face .

However, the bottom of her dress which was flying showed her fretful mood .

Past memories deep down her heart kept rushing back to her .

She couldn't forget the sunny afternoon on the Jade Sky Peak that day . That very year, a seemingly ordinary thing had changed her life and her destiny from then on .

For her, it was the beginning of everything .

At that time, her master had brought back a little girl around four or five years old all of a sudden .

That little girl looked dainty and smart . Jie Mingkong had been fond of this little girl at the first glance .

And Jie Mingkong still remembered all the words they had spoken on that day .

"Master, who is this child? Is she your new disciple?" that was how she asked her master .

The reaction of her master was a bit strange . After a moment of silence, he answered, "She's the daughter of my friend . But I'll take her as my disciple from today . We'll all live together . "

"She's still young, Mingkong, you need to take good care of her . "

At that time, Jie Mingkong had been much more outgoing than now . Then she said with a smile, "Of course . Master, you can count on me . "

Chen Xuanzong nodded lightly while telling Jie Mingkong that this little girl's parents were both dead by sound transmission secretly .

Jie Mingkong took pity on this little girl after hearing that . Then she bent over and held the little girl in her arms, saying, "This place is your home now . I'm your Senior apprentice-sister . Everything you need, just come to me . "

The little girl was still in a muddled situation and couldn't understand what Jie Mingkong meant .

However, she did feel the kindness from Jie Mingkong .

The little girl also liked this young lady in white who was super pretty . So she didn't reject being held up by Jie Mingkong and had no fear of this stranger . Instead, she laughed happily .

Seeing this little girl's reaction, Jie Mingkong also got pleased and returned a nice smile .

The white-haired man who stood beside them watched this scene with a gentle expression in his eyes . However, there was another kind of emotion hiding in the deep of his eyes .

That emotion was something beyond Jie Mingkong .

She only had a feeling that she and the little girl in front of her would get along well in the future .

And Jie Mingkong was happy to have the little girl as her junior apprentice-sister .

"What's your name?" Jie Mingkong asked the little girl in her arms smilingly .

"Lili . . . " the little girl answered lovely, "My name is Lili . "

"Chu Lili . " Chen Xuanzong who had been staring at them quietly suddenly said that .

Hearing his words, Jie Mingkong was in a daze for a second . Then she asked, "Chu . . . Lili? Master, I remember you have an old friend whose last name is Chu . That's senior Chu, Chu Heng . Is Lili his daughter?"

Chen Xuanzong nodded and stopped talking .

Jie Mingkong didn't pay too much attention to her master's reply at that time .

And she only learned what that name meant until later .

Because Jie Mingkong found that Chu Lili was not like her .

She could walk freely in the World beyond Worlds . Everyone knew she was the personal disciple of Astro Sovereign .

However, Chu Lili could only live in the Jade Sky Peak . Even after she had formally acknowledged Chen Xuanzong as her master, Chu Lili was still not allowed to live in the Cold Wave Locale with Xie Mingkong . Instead, she lived in the back mountain by herself .

Chen Xuanzong, Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign were the ones who acknowledged her being there from the beginning . Except for them, nearly none of the top experts in the World beyond Worlds knew about Chu Lili's existence .

And Jie Mingkong, Yue Zhenbei and Wang Zhengcheng were the only exceptions .

Luckily, Chu Lili was an optimistic girl . Although she often felt lonely, she still managed to grow up in peace .

Also, she was very close to Jie Mingkong, Yue Zhenbei and other few people whom she always met in daily life .

Because she had been too young when she had become the disciple of Chen Xuanzong, Jie Mingkong had cared for her since her childhood . So Jie Mingkong was more like a sister or a mother to Chu Lili .

As time went by, Jie Mingkong finally learned what had happened to Chu Heng .

She also realized the difference Chu Lili had from ordinary people .

However, since they were both disciples of Chen Xuanzong and could see each other every day, Jie Mingkong always got softhearted by Chu Lili's happy smile .

She really hoped that her master's attempt could succeed .

However, Jie Mingkong also detected other signs from Chu Lili as this little girl grew up day by day .

Now Chu Lili was a young girl who was longing for love now . And the man she had crush on was her master . . .

She had the closest relationship with Jie Mingkong and had never hidden anything from her Senior apprentice-sister .

In fact, she had already made her feelings so obvious . So Jie Mingkong was not the only one who knew about that .

This extremely optimistic young girl had no intention to hide her feelings . She especially hoped that her master could know how she felt .

"Senior apprentice-sister, do you think our master still regard me as a little child?" Chu Lili pouted and told Jie Mingkong her trouble depressingly . However, Jie Mingkong didn't know how to respond .

Because she wanted Chu Lili to give up her affection to their master .

But she didn't have the right to tell Chu Lili to give up .

Not only because Chu Lili trusted her, it was also because Jie Mingkong had also fallen in love with their master . . . Unlike Chu Lili, she just kept her feelings to herself .

Nevertheless, every time Jie Mingkong saw her Junior apprentice-sister expressing love to their master, she had a fretful feeling .

She had a strong impulsion to do the same thing as Chu Lili .

Even if she could only do it for once .

However, every time she was about to confess to her master, all of her courage just disappeared like snow smelting under the sun when she looked into Chen Xuanzong's eyes . She didn't know what happened to that decisive herself in the ordinary times .

Then one day when it was only a few days from Chu Lili's birthday, Chen Xuanzong suddenly called Jie Mingkong over .

When she arrived, she saw a cute, short legged little beast which was like a white fox .

"A Feifei? A baby Feifei . . . " Jie Mingkong recognized its species right away . Then Chen Xuanzong said, "This is the birthday gift for Lili this year . I know you always accompany her, but you are getting busy lately . I'm afraid she will get bored living in the back mountain alone . I hope this Feifei could divert her from boredom . "

"Remember to give this Feifei to her on her birthday . She can also grow up by learning how to take care of this little creature . "

With her eyes flickering, Jie Mingkong tried to say something . However, none of the words in her heart came out of her mouth .

After a long while, she only spitted one sentence, "Are you going to be somewhere else on Lili's birthday?"

"No . " Chen Xuanzong shook his head .

"Then you can present it to Lili by yourself . Isn't that the tradition since her childhood?" Jie Mingkong couldn't help saying that at last .

With her voice lowered, she continued, "Lili would be so happy if you can give the gift to her in person, Master . "

With her voice lowered, she continued, "Lili would be so happy if you can give the gift to her in person, Master . "

"This year is a bit different," said Chen Xuanzong in his calm tone as usual . "Lili seems to have some different feelings for me… She's my disciple and also the daughter of my friend . I should distance myself from her from now on . After all, she is a girl and I am a man . I have been so inconsiderate before . I'll have to take some measures before it's too late . "

Jie Mingkong was surprised at the first, then she felt happy about that .

After that, she felt sorry for Chu Lili because of the feelings she had just had .

At last, the only feeling in her heart was sadness .

She was also Chen Xuanzong's disciple . . .

Suddenly, she decided to struggle for herself for the first time . Maybe because she had suppressed her feelings for too long . She uttered those words, "Master, can I also ask for a gift from you this year . . . "
