"What is it?"
Chu Yun's hand stopped mid-air, feigning ignorance.
A thunderclap struck within the Sky Demoness's heart. Seeing the mole on Chu Yun's hand, her inner world was thrown into turmoil, her emotions fluctuating wildly!
The location was exactly the same, not deviating in the slightest!
Even the shape and size were identical!
Could such a coincidence truly exist in this world?
The Sky Demoness snapped back to reality, her gaze fixed intently on Chu Yun.
She suddenly stood up and grabbed Chu Yun's thigh.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"What are you doing?!"
"I know I'm incredibly charming, but you don't have to be so wild about it, do you?" Chu Yun said, putting down his bowl.
At that moment, the Sky Demoness ignored everything else and directly pulled up his pant leg. Her eyes were locked onto Chu Yun's upper thigh.
When she saw the mark on his leg, her face trembled. Her eyes stared intently, a complex mix of shock, joy, and confusion flashing across them.
Chu Yun looked at her hand on his thigh, the warmth making him blurt out, "Are you so infatuated with me? Why don't we just get straight to business then?"
The Sky Demoness, however, could no longer hear his words.
The tempest in her heart had already caused her expression to become somewhat uncontrolled.
"It really is you!"
"Su Ziheng, you're the reincarnation of Su Ziheng! Right?!"
The Sky Demoness looked at him, her voice filled with emotion, as if demanding Chu Yun give her the answer immediately.
Chu Yun frowned.
He couldn't admit it right now. If he admitted to being Su Ziheng, all the previous teasing and bullying would directly deduct his favorability points.
Therefore, forgetting was the best excuse.
"This殿 doesn't know who this Su Ziheng you speak of is. But if you say he was my past life, then perhaps there is some possibility."
The Sky Demoness looked confused. "What do you mean? You don't know who your past life was?"
The Sky Demoness found the situation hard to understand. If Chu Yun didn't know who his past life was, how did he see through her identity?
"Since it's come to this, I won't hide it from you."
"Honestly, I truly don't know who my past life was. I have no memories of my past life."
"As for how I saw through your identity, it's because since I was young, I've possessed a pair of extraordinary eyes that can see through most of the world's karma."
"This includes yours."
Chu Yun casually fabricated a reason.
And as expected, after Chu Yun's explanation, the Sky Demoness didn't ask any further questions about what kind of eyes he possessed.
Her entire focus was now on Chu Yun's past life.
"Just these two things, you are exactly the same as Ziheng. The birthmark and the mole on your hand, the position, size, and shape are identical!"
"How can there be such a coincidence in the world!"
The Sky Demoness truly wanted to believe that Chu Yun was Su Ziheng.
After all, in her youth, Su Ziheng was her only spiritual anchor.
It was precisely because he died that she, Yu Qingxin, became the Demon Empress, the Sky Demoness.
But beneath this glorious exterior, lay a heart that had sealed itself.
And Su Ziheng was the only key to unlocking that seal!
However, reason still told the Sky Demoness.
A reincarnated body and its past life wouldn't have identical features.
This might truly just be some unfathomable coincidence.
After all, Chu Yun himself said he had no memory of Su Ziheng.
Chu Yun listened to her words and said, "These two marks have been with me since I can remember."
"But these two things alone aren't enough to make such a definitive conclusion."
"Unless you have another way to verify it."
As if inspired by his words, a spark flashed in the Sky Demoness's mind.
"Right!"
"There is one item that can determine if you are truly Ziheng!"
With a thought, a withered flower appeared in the Sky Demoness's hand.
"This is a flower that Ziheng personally raised back then. It first began to grow and bloom 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 an Emperor, I even placed a seal upon this flower. Only Ziheng's Soul Power can break it and make this flower bloom again!"
"Now, you try!"
"If you can make this flower bloom again, then without a doubt, your past life was Ziheng!"
The Sky Demoness was very impatient; her expression was enough to say it all.
Her concern and importance for this matter surpassed everything else.
Chu Yun looked at her reaction and was somewhat surprised.
The Sky Demoness's reaction was far greater than he had imagined.
From this, one could see how important Su Ziheng was in her heart!
That unique place, no one could replace!
Chu Yun silently took the flower and placed it in his palm. He activated his soul power and slowly infused it into the flower.
Whoosh!!
Immediately, the withered flower visibly regained its luster, its fragrance bloomed, and it unfurled once more!
"Ziheng... it really is you..."
Seeing this, the Sky Demoness was completely certain of Chu Yun's identity.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and all the long-buried memories resurfaced in her mind at this moment.
She remembered when they were both in their teens, relying on each other. To get a steamed bun for her to eat, Su Ziheng took a beating for an hour.
She remembered that night when it was snowing heavily, and she fell ill and almost froze to death. It was Su Ziheng, with sheer willpower, who carried her to a cave, his body frostbitten...
She remembered Su Ziheng's gaze as he was dying, his eyes blurry with tears, yet filled with true feelings he had suppressed for years...
All of this, she, Yu Qingxin, would never forget, in this life and all future lives.
"So, who exactly is this Su Ziheng?"
"What does my past life have to do with you?"
At this point, Chu Yun could only play along, feigning ignorance.
Tears streamed down the Sky Demoness's face. She gently wiped them away and 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 force yourself to recall."
"Your past life was ultimately your past life. You are now, and will always be, Chu Yun, the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. This will never change."
Chu Yun met her gaze. "You don't seem very well... Sky Demoness..."
The Sky Demoness showed a rare hint of a smile. "Don't call me Sky Demoness anymore. Call me Xin'er."
"You used to call me that too."
"You don't need to worry about me. I'm just overjoyed."
The Sky Demoness thought for a moment, then said to him earnestly, "Chu Yun, from now on, remember that no matter what happens, I will unconditionally stand by your side and go through it with you."
"Whether you believe it now or not, time will prove it."
Chu Yun felt her sincerity and looked into her eyes. "There's no need to prove it. I believe you!"
The two looked at each other, then smiled at each other.
