Chapter 1337 - 1317: You Are the Empress, Not a Clone!
Chapter 1337 - 1317: You Are the Empress, Not a Clone!
"Peh, don’t say such ominous things early in the morning. We’re both alive and kicking, we haven’t been taken out." Ye Huan said irritably, giving the Empress’s nose a hard flick."If we’re not dead, then why are we in paradise? There’s mountains, water, forests, and even sunlight..."
Before the Empress could continue, Ye Huan interrupted, with a face full of exasperation, "What are you thinking? This is my home, not some paradise. Tingxiang Pavilion was damaged due to a battle in the Ancient Martial Realm, and it’s under repair. I temporarily bought this villa on the mountain top and moved in."
Hearing this, the Empress was stunned, then completely dumbfounded: "What? This really isn’t paradise?! Then... how am I here?!"
"How can you ask such a silly question?" Ye Huan laughed, patting her on the back, saying, "Stop thinking about those bad things, it’s all over. Emperor Asura betrayed the Dragon Gate and has been executed. The Sequence 02 stronghold that imprisoned you has already been destroyed by me and my team."
The Empress was utterly confused, her elegant brows tightly furrowed, and she was completely bewildered: "What exactly is going on?"
"It’s very simple."
"Your big brother Ye, to rescue you who had fallen into the hands of the Sequence and was in grave danger, mobilized every available resource and force. He first formed an Ancient Martial Realm alliance, rallying five Divine Kings to Tianyun Island to intercept the Extreme Divine King—the Master of Sequence—alongside the Di Family’s Divine King, then ordered the Western Eight Great Divine Halls to go all out in blocking the Sequence allied forces on Guatana Island."
"Not only that, he also waved his hand and mobilized over ten thousand Ancient Martial Artists to successfully quell the rebellion initiated by Emperor Asura within the Dragon Gate. Ultimately, he pulled the Dragon Gate and Di Family out of the abyss."
The door to the bedroom on the second floor was pushed open, and Jiang Shishuang, wearing pink pajamas, leaned lazily against the door, revealing to the Empress the passionate battles that happened that night on the Pacific Ocean and in the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm.
The Empress was stunned just listening!
Emperor Asura not only wanted to hand her over to the Sequence but also colluded with them from inside, planning to seize control of the Di Family in the vacuum left by the Dragon Gate, thereby becoming a puppet to help the Sequence take control of this overwhelmingly powerful force?!
This was outright betrayal!
Moreover, the Master of Sequence was planning such a grand scheme?!
Ye Huan, with sheer force, turned the tide of the battle and shattered that plan?!
The Empress, after hearing it all, realized that the reality must have been even more thrilling than Jiang Shishuang described, shaking her to the core.
Besides being shocked, she was deeply moved.
The reason she was moved was that Ye Huan went through such trouble, apart from destroying the Sequence’s plan, his biggest objective was actually to rescue her.
"Big brother Ye, you’re such a fool, this was clearly a trap set by the Sequence for you. They used me as bait to lure you in, and you still charged right in." The Empress hit Ye Huan’s chest, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.
Up to this point, she finally understood.
She hadn’t died.
Ye Huan wasn’t taken out either!
At least half of that dream was real!
In her most desperate moment, with her life in grave danger, when she was utterly in despair, Ye Huan went on a killing spree, using the power of an Initial-Tier Divine King to gravely injure the Second Sequence, forcibly rescuing her from Sequence 02’s stronghold!
Later, Ye Huan brought her to this villa on the mountain top.
When she was trapped in endless nightmares, Ye Huan held her, filling her heart with a sense of security.
Ultimately, it allowed her to escape the nightmares and fall into a beautiful dream.
The Empress couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears, burying her head in Ye Huan’s arms.
Honestly, she never thought that when her parents had given up on her, handing her over to the enemy for them to dispose of at will, the man in her heart would summon all resources, and against overwhelming odds, sweep away all enemies before him, thwarting all their schemes and rescuing her!
The Empress merely felt like this man was her god!
Childhood memories once again resurfaced in her mind.
Back then, at the Spring Welfare Institute, the kids liked to bully others, especially targeting little girls.
She was often bullied and beaten, but every time, Ye Huan would stand up, protecting her with all he had, even if it meant getting his head busted and bleeding, he would chase away the bullies.
And as they grew up, Ye Huan was still the same Ye Huan.
He would do anything to protect her!
Even if the enemy was an SSS-level superpower, Ye Huan didn’t care in the slightest!
Recalling all those past events and the specific details she learned today from Jiang Shishuang, the Empress couldn’t stop her tears.
Besides being moved, she felt deep pain and sorrow.
Because she knew, those beautiful childhood memories didn’t belong to her, but to Liu Tianyun.
In the end, she was just a clone.
The Empress wiped away her tears, lifted her head, looked Ye Huan in the eyes, and bit her lip, saying, "Big brother Ye, there’s something I want to confess to you, actually... I already know why I have the same memories as Miss Liu and look so much like her."
"A clone?"
"You knew all along?"
The Empress lowered her eyelids slightly, her small hand tightly gripping Ye Huan’s shirt, "Since that’s the case, why go through so much trouble to save me? I’m just an artificial clone, you didn’t have to go through all that trouble and risk to save me."
"Miss Empress, then you don’t understand Ye Huan at all." Outside the door, Liu Tianyun, who had gotten up early, already washed up, and changed into her office uniform, walked out of the bedroom, smiling and succinctly said, "Being Ye Huan’s enemy is a most unfortunate thing. But being his friend is like the luckiest thing in the world."
As soon as Liu Tianyun finished speaking, several girls outside the door nodded in agreement.
Ye Huan towards his enemies, is the God of Slaughter.
To friends and family, he’s a "little lamb"!
Good-tempered, emotional, and loyal!
For the sake of friends and family, Ye Huan is willing to risk his life!
To crush his enemies, Ye Huan will reveal his most ruthless and cold-blooded side!
"Empress, you are indeed a clone, but all this was forced upon you by others, it has nothing to do with you."
"Now, you are an independent individual, with your own name, gender, identity, and most importantly, your own life, as well as your thoughts and life experiences."
"In the past, I considered you a friend, and now, I still see you as one of my few friends."
"You don’t need to worry about the so-called ’clone’ identity, in my heart, you are my friend."
Ye Huan’s expression was extremely serious, as he looked into the Empress’s eyes and said, "Moreover, apart from the memories from before three years old of my wife Liu Tianyun, all your other life memories belong to you, and have nothing to do with Tianyun, so you are you, you are the Empress, not a clone of Liu Tianyun."
These words directly untied much of the knot in the Empress’s heart.
She was deeply moved, throwing her arms around Ye Huan’s waist, once again burying her face in his chest, "Big brother Ye, I understand, thank you!"
