39: The inner changes of the demon girl!
"What's wrong?"
Ninth Prince Chu Yun's hand paused in mid-air, asking knowingly.
A bolt of lightning seemed to strike within the Heavenly Demoness's heart. Upon seeing the mole on Chu Yun's hand, her heart was engulfed in tumultuous waves, and her emotions fluctuated wildly!
The position was exactly the same, without any deviation!
Even the shape and size were identical!
Could there truly be such a coincidence in this world?
The Heavenly Demoness recovered her senses, her gaze fixed intently on Chu Yun.
She suddenly stood up and directly grabbed Chu Yun's thigh.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Although this Prince is very charming, you don't have to be so wild, do you?" Chu Yun quickly said after putting down his bowl.
The Heavenly Demoness ignored everything at this moment, directly pulling up his pant leg, her pupils fixed intently on Chu Yun's upper thigh.
When she saw the mark on his leg, her face trembled, her eyes staring intently, her expression a complex mix of shock, joy, and confusion.
Chu Yun watched her hand on his thigh, the warm sensation making him say, "So obsessed with this Prince? Why don't we just get straight to it then?"
The Heavenly Demoness, at this moment, no longer had the heart to listen to his words.
The turmoil in her heart had already caused her expression to lose some control.
"It really is you!"
"Su Ziheng, you are the Reincarnation of Su Ziheng! Aren't you?!"
The Heavenly Demoness looked at him, speaking excitedly, as if she wanted Chu Yun to tell her the answer immediately.
Chu Yun frowned.
He couldn't admit it at this moment; otherwise, if he admitted to being Su Ziheng, all his previous teasing and bullying of her would directly reduce his impression score.
Therefore, forgetting was the best excuse.
"This Prince doesn't know who this Su Ziheng you speak of is, but if you say he's my past life, then perhaps it's indeed possible."
The Heavenly Demoness was puzzled: "What do you mean? You don't know who your past life was?"
The Heavenly Demoness felt that something didn't make sense. If Chu Yun didn't know who his past life was, then how did he see through her identity?
"At this point, I won't hide it from you."
"To be honest, I truly don't know who my past life was; I don't have any memories of a past life."
"As for how I saw through your identity, it's because ever since I could remember, I've had a pair of extraordinary eyes that can see through most Karma in the world."
"Including yours."
Chu Yun casually made up an excuse.
And the Heavenly Demoness, as expected, after Chu Yun's explanation, didn't ask further about what kind of eyes Chu Yun possessed.
Her focus at this moment was entirely on Chu Yun's past life.
"In just these two places, you and Ziheng are exactly alike. The birthmark and the mole on your hand, their position, size, and shape, are completely identical!"
"How could there be such a coincidence in the world!"
The Heavenly Demoness at this moment truly wanted to believe that Chu Yun was Su Ziheng.
After all, in her youth, Su Ziheng was her only spiritual solace.
It was precisely because he died that she, Yu Qingxin, became the Demonic Path Empress, the Heavenly Demoness.
But beneath this incomparably glorious exterior lay a Self-Sealed heart.
And Su Ziheng was the only key to unlock this Seal!
However, reason was still telling the Heavenly Demoness otherwise.
The Reincarnation body and the past life would not necessarily have completely identical features.
Perhaps this was truly just some incredible coincidence.
After all, Chu Yun himself said that he didn't have Su Ziheng's memories.
Chu Yun, upon hearing this, said, "I've had these two marks since I can remember."
"But relying solely on these two things, one cannot draw such a definitive conclusion."
"Unless you have another way to verify it."
As if inspired by these words, a flash of insight appeared in the Heavenly Demoness's mind.
"That's right!"
"There is one item that can determine whether or not you are Ziheng!"
The Heavenly Demoness's thought moved, and a withered flower appeared in her hand.
"This is a flower that Ziheng personally cultivated back then. It first grew and bloomed because of a drop of Ziheng's blood."
"After he died, this flower withered."
"I sealed it within my Soul for many years. When I was Empress, I even placed a Seal on this flower, and only Ziheng's Soul Power can unseal it and make it bloom again!"
"Now, you try!"
"If you can make this flower bloom again, then without a doubt, your past life is Ziheng!"
The Heavenly Demoness was very impatient; the expression on her face said it all.
Her concern and importance for this matter almost surpassed everything else.
Chu Yun looked at her reaction, and his heart was also somewhat surprised.
The Heavenly Demoness's reaction was much greater than he had imagined.
This showed how important Su Ziheng was to her!
That uniqueness, no one else could replace!
Chu Yun silently took the flower and placed it in his palm, activating his Soul Power and slowly injecting it into the flower.
Whoosh!
Then, this already withered flower visibly regained its luster, its fragrance bloomed, and it re-blossomed!
"Ziheng… it really is you…"
Seeing this, the Heavenly Demoness completely confirmed Chu Yun's identity.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and those long-sealed memories in her heart surfaced one by one in her mind at this moment.
She remembered when they were both teenagers, relying on each other, Su Ziheng endured an hour of beating just to get her a steamed bun.
She remembered that night, when heavy snow fell, she fell ill and almost froze to death, and it was Su Ziheng who, with sheer willpower, carried her to a cave with frostbite all over his body…
She remembered Su Ziheng's gaze at her in his dying moments, tearful and blurry, yet still filled with the true emotions he had suppressed for years…
All of this, she, Yu Qingxin, would never forget throughout her lives.
"So, who exactly is this Su Ziheng?"
"What is the connection between my past life and you?"
At this point, Chu Yun could only feign ignorance, asking knowingly.
Tears streamed down the Heavenly Demoness's face. After gently wiping them away, she looked at him with complex emotions, "He was a very good person, and he was once… the most important person in my life."
"Since you don't remember, there's no need to deliberately try to recall."
"Your past life is ultimately your past life. You are still Ninth Prince Chu Yun of the Great Xia Dynasty now; this will never change."
Chu Yun met her gaze: "You look… not so good, Heavenly Demoness…"
The Heavenly Demoness rarely showed a hint of a smile: "Don't call me Heavenly Demoness anymore, call me Xiner."
"You used to call me that too."
"You don't need to worry about me; I'm just too happy."
The Heavenly Demoness thought for a moment, then earnestly told him: "Chu Yun, from now on, you must remember that no matter what happens, I will unconditionally stand by your side and accompany you through it."
"Whether you believe it now or not, time will prove everything."
Chu Yun felt her sincerity, his eyes looking at her: "No need for proof, I believe you!"
The two looked into each other's eyes at this moment, and then, they both smiled at each other.
