NOVEL NEXT Chapter 561: Ancestor Empress: I Want to Become the Human Emperor's Wife! (Please Follow)
The Ancestral Empress was baffled, too.
*My sister, the Time Empress, probably wanted more than anything to be the Human Emperor's wife.*
Right now was the moment when the Human Emperor needed help the most, so if my sister decided to step in, she'd probably have no trouble earning his trust and affection.
*So why hadn't she shown up or done anything to help?*
*A strange sense of foreboding crept up inside the Ancestral Empress.*
*Could it be that my sister couldn't make it here because she was trapped by some powerful enemy?*
*Or maybe, even she couldn't bring Gu Qingcheng back to life?*
*Come on, that's impossible.*
*My sister, the Time Empress, had already reached a Realm above the Emperor Realm. She could absolutely make decisive changes to time on Blue Star.*
Time rewind, time fast forward, she could even do a time reset!
*Sister could do all of that, okay?*
*Resurrecting the dead might sound like a fantasy to others, but for her, wasn't it basically a walk in the park?*
Xiao Ye and Ziran had no clue what the Empress next to them was thinking.
At the moment, they were decoding Big Gu Qingcheng's soul fluctuations, trying to dig up a way to bring her back from the dead hidden somewhere in that soul data.
"Hehe, if only there were a divine skill that would let me soul search hubby without hurting him."
"Then I could find out all his secrets."
"And train him into my personal version of Gu Qingcheng."
"Hiss!" Xiao Ye felt his soul almost leave his body.
*A hundred years later, Gu Qingcheng had become this terrifying? Was this some sort of twisted yandere fetish?!*
*Would he end up like Brother Cheng, chopped up by a kitchen knife?*
*People everywhere said Brother Cheng died young, but did anyone ever wonder if it's because y'all didn't do enough shitty things to him?*
*Xiao Ye started wondering if the hundred-years-later Gu Qingcheng was just too lonely guarding an empty chamber, so full of resentment that now she wanted to know every little thing about him, just to control him completely.*
Ziran said with a straight face, "Qingcheng isn't the type to hurt you."
"But her resentment is still very much there."
"Xiao Ye, if you really bring Qingcheng back, you'd better make it up to her—big time."
"Yeah, make it up a LOT to the hundred-years-later Qingcheng."
"That way, her resentment will slowly fade, and all those twisted ideas will die away too."
Xiao Ye nodded in delight, "Exactly—with enough love and compensation, I'll never end up like Brother Cheng!"
"I'm not like Brother Cheng, you know? His campus girlfriends all hated each other, but not me. Qingcheng actually accepted all my beast girls—she's willing to live with them, harmoniously, no problem!"
Cheng Bingxi narrowed her eyes slightly.
As the harem boss, she figured it was time to have a little chat with both Gu Qingchengs.
Soul search? Crack open his skull?
No way!
No one was allowed to hurt Xiao Ye in any way.
*Nobody was allowed to even think those twisted thoughts—not on Cheng Bingxi's watch!*
Otherwise, she'd sweep the harem clean, make anyone with those thoughts disappear for good!
The group kept decoding Big Gu Qingcheng's soul fluctuations.
"But I'll keep these dark thoughts locked up. No one will ever find out,"
"Anyway, I'd never hurt my hubby. I'll never let him suffer or feel wronged, ever."
"Sigh, hubby's about to touch the Rule Domain…"
"That Ancestral Empress is definitely going to show up soon, and then little Gu and I won't have much of an edge."
*Wait, were they reading my mind now?*
The Ancestral Empress immediately perked up her ears.
*She was actually curious—what kind of story she and the Human Emperor would end up having.*
On with the reading—
"The Ancestral Empress is the condensed will of the Space Origin, and her Realm already hit the peak of the third stage of the Emperor Realm."
"She's just half a step away from the Star Domain level, above the Emperor Realm."
"Her allure for my hubby is deadly; you know the dude's got a thing for mysterious, high-level gorgeous women."
"Here's hoping hubby doesn't lose his mind and soul over her, sigh."
"After coming to the Rule Realm, what really confused me is that the Ancestral Empress didn't do anything to help. She just hid in the background."
"Little Gu and I are going to sleep forever."
Suddenly, Ziran pinched Xiao Ye's waist hard and twisted a full 360 degrees.
"Hiss!"
Xiao Ye gasped in pain and said, defeated, "Sister Ziran, what are you doing?"
Ziran shot a frosty glance at the Ancestral Empress, then said sourly,
"So, are you eyeing some Empress now—got the hots for her or what?"
"Hmph! Us sisters got the looks and the figures, but no, you just have to chase after a rule-will!"
*There it was—the Ziran jealousy bomb had exploded.*
Cheng Bingxi crossed her arms, her voice cold,
"Xiao Ye, Sister Qingcheng was right, you're such a little perv."
"See a high-level, mysterious beauty, boom, instantly in love."
"Ha, well, look at you, the Human Emperor paired with the Empress, a match made in heaven—honestly, even I, the harem boss, am kinda jealous."
*Xiao Ye's face went dark. Sister Qingcheng, could you not just randomly blast out soul fluctuations?*
*You're really screwing me over here!*
Xiao Ye wailed,
"It's not fair!"
"I've only met that senior twice—literally only twice!"
"The first time I met her, I thought she was the enemy and wanted to take her out."
"Even now, I'm just barely dropping my guard—I'm still super wary of her."
"With a dangerous woman like that, all I wanna do is stay the hell away—you think I'm looking to hook up?"
"Bingxi, Sister Ziran, don't let the hundred-years-later Sister Qingcheng fool you. Reality can be different, you know? In her timeline, I was cold as ice to her, but here, I really like Sister Qingcheng."
"In her timeline, the Empress actually helped, but in this timeline, she hasn't."
"So, this version of me definitely is NOT trying to get with the Empress!"
He said it with absolute determination.
"Hmph!"
"You're barely forgiven."
Ziran let go, figuring her husband did have a point.
Cheng Bingxi finally relaxed, smiling as she said,
"Empress, you're the original will body of the Rule Origin, right? You shouldn't have any human feelings, so you're not gonna seduce Xiao Ye, are you?"
"I mean, as a primordial will body, you wouldn't be interested in a guy like Xiao Ye, already tainted by nine beast girls, right?"
"Even if Xiao Ye drooled over you, you'd just think he's disgusting, huh?"
Xiao Ye: "…"
Space Ancestral Empress: "…"
Her mouth kind of twitched.
*She did have feelings. Ever since her sister helped her manifest a body, she'd started developing human emotions.*
*Otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up a Divine Spirit on the front lines, desperate to protect the Milky Way Galaxy and Blue Star, refusing to let any invading universe races destroy the galaxy or Blue Star.*
*This time she'd shown up not to snatch back the Space Rule Origin the Human Emperor had stolen, but because she wanted to be the Human Emperor's wife!*
*But no way could she say all that out loud. The Human Emperor didn't trust her yet, still so on guard!*
So, the Space Ancestral Empress composed herself, then said,
"I have feelings, as strong as any human's."
"But I came this time to help the Human Emperor get through this crisis. Gu Qingcheng's great divine power just totally messed up my plans."
"As for seducing the Human Emperor?"
"Sorry, you're overthinking it."
"I've been alive for over five hundred thousand years, never once planned to become any man's wife—never have, never will!"
Her beautiful face reddened a bit, feeling awkward even as she said it.
*How could she say stuff that went so against her heart in front of the Human Emperor?*
*She, the Ancestral Empress, absolutely wanted to become the Human Emperor's wife!*
