Chapter 569: Chapter 569

[The early life of the Merciless Empress is miserable. She had enemies all around her and her parents wanted her death. If not for the protection of the ministers of the Crimson Empire, she wouldn’t be able to grow up. However, being poisoned and kidnapped frequently made the young imperial princess expressionless, merciless and almost emotionless as she turned into an adult. She had matured early after being treated as a royal princess and not a young baby to be cuddled when she was young.]

[When she was three the maid she grew up with tried to straggle her in her sleep while crying. Blaming her for being born. That was the beginning when her heart started to slowly die. She stares at the maid with a dazed look as if giving up her life. A single trace of tears stroll down from her left eye and this helped rekindle the care this maid has for her little princess.]

[The hands holding the little princess’ neck weakens, yet the princess only looked at the maid without doing anything.]

["Sorry, your highness. Please forgive this slave! They have this slave’s family. I can only...harm the princess." The maid’s words lingered in the ears of the imperial princess. While the princess spoke with a hoarse voice caused by the tightness in her throat. "What about me? You are... my only...family. Are you...not?"]

[Upon hearing these words, the man finally let go of the little princess and cried out in guilt and pain. It was at this moment that the guard that was hindered outside had finally entered the princess quarters and witnessed this scene. Upon seeing the assassin that attempted to kill the imperial princess, they didn’t hesitate to kill the maid.]

[The imperial princess can only shout ’No!’, but it was too late. Her personal maid was impaled by a sword from the back through her heart and her warm blood splashing on the princess’s face. As the sword was pulled out a crimson flower bloomed from the chest of the maid as she fell on the top of the imperial princess.]

[The Imperial Princess heard her last words. "Don’t trust anyone in the palace and... I’m sorry, my princess.". The maid took her last breath in the embrace of the young princess. That was the first and last time the imperial princess had cried like someone of her age. Ever since then, she never smiled with a gentle feeling ever again.]

[After the death of that made the imperial princess had never treated any other maid as good as the former one. She treated servants as servants, soldiers as soldiers and assassins as assassins. All her enemies can only be enemies. When she was old enough to learn cultivation, her talents in blood manipulation had overwhelmed everyone in the palace that sometimes even the ministers who used to be by her side started to treat her with careful distance.]

[It was until she reached adulthood that her enemies could no longer hold back their desires to kill her. After her imperial father and the ministers finally sent her to the battlefield to die, the imperial princess was alone in this world. Before she left, she looked at the emperor and the ministers before her and smiled like a madman with her crimson eyes glowing with murderous intent.] Thɪs chapter is updated by noveⅼfire.net

[Her words are "Wait for me to come back. Once I’m back you will be able to rest eternally~."]

[The emperor and the ministers felt dread at those words as they watched the imperial princess leave the palace without looking back. She walked alone in the hall full of enemies, her back were straight as a rod but her steps were graceful.]

[The emperor and the ministers tried everything they could to kill her on the battlefield but this just helped her get stronger and more powerful. After ten years on the battlefield the imperial princess gained her first nickname, the Bloodied Princess.]

[She was already in her twenties when she was summoned back to the Imperial Palace. At that time, the final tragedy of the royal palace had taken place. The other princes had started to fight for the throne and the princess without siding with anyone watching the destruction and chaos unfold.]

[In the end, the one who won is the third prince, who summoned her back officially and gave her a noble title in exchange for service. In the end, she killed the third prince, the dying old emperor and his harem, killed all the old ministers and everyone who was against her was killed.]

[At the age of 21, she sat at the throne as the first female emperor of the Crimson Empire. All those who used to be known in the palace were replaced by people who had vowed to the heavens not to betray her and initiate the war against the other nations.]

[It took five whole years before she successfully ruled the whole continent and finally was known as the Merciless Empress. Stood above the heavens and earth while everyone feared her name.]

Yue Xuexia finished reading the three books which detailed the whole life of the Merciless Empress from birth to her death.

The Moon Goddess mumbles, "One day, the battlefield of cosmos descends in her world pulling everyone in the stage of life and death. She failed to defend her world and lost against her opponent the demon race and then she disappeared and it was unknown where she had disappeared to."

"Her world disappeared and the only thing weighing her down is finally gone. After all, there is no way she would care about the world that made her feel extremely lonely. Why would she fight with her life to defend something not important to her? She must be alive somewhere. She told me we are meant to meet in the future."

"Isn’t that right, my future self." Yue Xuexia mumbled.

As the main soul, Yue Xuexia was able to feel the similarities they both possessed and finally the resonance of their souls which enhanced their abilities. The power to control blood in her body, she knows it exists but it’s a power she could never control at all.

Every time she tried to use it, she would feel her whole body breaking. However, after meeting the female emperor in that crimson palace, the restriction in her body could finally control that power. The Legacy of the Moon Empress was the same, she was only able to fully control the Moon Domain after meeting Yue Xuehua’s soul strand in the desert.

That’s why when she was able to summon the blood moon that day in the Hall of Nature, she immediately recognized the identity of the masked female emperor after they had clashed.

Yue Xuexia closes the book and mumbles, "It would have been better if you never appeared before me."

The Moon Goddess raised her head to look in some unknown distance with flashing crimson and silver within her eyes. It was unknown what kind of effect these lights have on the Moon Goddess.

Meanwhile, from the perspective of Tan Bingyu, Xue Renxue and Baimei...

The three had also found ordinary books they were interested in and started reading. Of course, the only ones reading are Princess Tan and Baimei. As for Xue Renxue, this kind of event is what bored him the most.

Xu Renxue looked at his dao companion with puppy eyes.

"Bing’er, I’m bored~. Let’s try those cursed books. Didn’t the God of Wisdom say not all books are bad?"

Tan Bingyu gave him a glance and resumed reading her book about the Ice Phoenix which is also their ancestor.

"Wait for me to read this book. You... look for one book you wanted to see the most and then... let’s talk about it then."

Xue Renxue happily stood up and looked for the book he wanted the most. Tan Bingyu and Baimei looked at the childish actions of the man despite his cold outer demeanor.

Baimei commented, {Your partner is seriously completely opposite of how he looks. Clearly, he is older than you, but he acts like a child.}

"When he was a child, he was so sick he couldn’t even leave his bed. Then a few years of his life, he lived his life as a woman. It was only recently that he had returned to his body and the mistress had granted him this health. Without any illness pulling him down, he is now able to do as he wishes. Let him be," said Tan Bingyu.

Baimei understood something but a part of Tan Bingyu’s words.

{What do you mean he lived as a woman?}

Tan Bingyu smiled and said, "Want to hear about it?"

{Of course! Such a weird and interesting... I mean a strange thing. Who wouldn’t want to hear anything about it?} Baimei said.

Tan Bingyu closed her book and said, "It’s not that much of a secret. You know that Nine Yin Meridians are deadly to males who are born with young energy. He is not much different. He also had weakened and was almost dying when he was born with that physique."

{But...isn’t he alive and kicking?} Baimei asked while looking confused.
