"That guy was only at Dragon Transformation Second Heaven. How could he unleash such terrifying power?"
Leng Lingshuang gazed at Jiang Xuan from afar, her flawless face covered in frost, yet her heart was filled with utter shock.
Jiang Xuan's cultivation was merely at Dragon Transformation Second Heaven, while she was at the Fifth Heaven of Dragon Transformation Realm.
Moreover, Leng Lingshuang's Fifth Heaven of Dragon Transformation Realm was no ordinary Fifth Heaven. The combat strength she could unleash was enough to easily obliterate even an expert at the Dragon Transformation Peak Realm!
"That woman Leng Lingshuang has such terrifying strength. Even I nearly failed to block it... How had she become so powerful?"
At the same time, Jiang Xuan stared at Leng Lingshuang in shock.
He was a man with a system. Normally, he killed enemies across an entire major realm, yet now he sensed an ominous premonition from Leng Lingshuang.
This left Jiang Xuan utterly astonished.
[Ding! A reborn Female Emperor has been detected. According to calculations, if the other party fights with her life on the line, the host will not be her match. Does the host wish to edit the background and alter the current situation?]
At that moment, the system's prompt suddenly rang out in Jiang Xuan's mind.
Hearing that voice, Jiang Xuan's heart jolted, and he was greatly shocked.
Leng Lingshuang was actually a reborn Female Emperor??
For real??
"System, do you have detailed information on her? Show it to me."
Looking at the icy killing intent on her face, Jiang Xuan's body could not help but tremble slightly as he spoke to the system in his mind.
[Leng Lingshuang, one of the nine Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm. Peerless in talent, she rose from humble beginnings through her heaven-shaking gifts. With an ordinary mortal body, she became one of the nine Immortal Emperors of the Immortal Realm, her might shaking the heavens and myriad worlds as she suppressed the prodigies of all ages. However, because she cultivated a demonic art, she was criticized by the other eight Immortal Emperors. In the end, while fighting a group of strange experts from beyond the heavens, she was jointly ambushed by the other eight Immortal Emperors. Her body and soul were destroyed. Relying on a wisp of unextinguished divine consciousness, she reincarnated and recultivated through the Reincarnation Forbidden Art, sealing her memories for eighteen years before recovering the memories of her past life only recently.]
Leng Lingshuang's information swiftly surfaced in Jiang Xuan's mind.
The instant Jiang Xuan saw this information, he was dumbfounded. His head buzzed, and he found himself unable to think.
By some freak twist of fate, he had actually slept with the Female Emperor of the Immortal Realm??
The Female Emperor of the Immortal Realm!
What kind of concept was that!
In the Three Thousand Realms, becoming a Great Emperor was already an unimaginable height, enough to be praised through all ages and leave one's name in the history of cultivation!
As for an Immortal Emperor, Jiang Xuan could not even comprehend what kind of realm that was!
"Wait..."
A bold idea suddenly emerged in Jiang Xuan's heart.
If he could edit the background and become the reincarnation of the Female Emperor's relative or lover, then he would not have to die, would he?
He could even gain the Female Emperor's protection! From then on, his life would be completely secure!
Once the Female Emperor returned to her peak in the future, he could at least become a major figure in the Immortal Realm, right?
But what identity would be best to edit?
White moonlight!
Those three words suddenly popped into Jiang Xuan's mind.
People would ultimately be trapped for a lifetime by what they could not obtain in their youth.
And white moonlight was precisely such a role.
To anyone, white moonlight was an indelible mark in their heart, irreplaceable by anyone else.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xuan asked in his mind:
"System, can I edit the background and become the Female Emperor's white moonlight from her youth?"
[Edited identity: Leng Lingshuang's past-life white moonlight. Required editing points: 30,000!] [Does the host wish to edit?]
"Edit!"
Jiang Xuan glanced at his 39,800 emotion points and chose to edit without the slightest hesitation.
[Ding, the system is currently editing the host's selected background...] [Karma transformed, fate shifted, background reset!] [Congratulations to the host for becoming Leng Lingshuang's past-life white moonlight!] [In her past life, Leng Lingshuang rose from humble beginnings. Back then, she was merely a little girl who only knew how to cry whenever something happened, starving and dressed in rags, having suffered every hardship in the world. When Leng Lingshuang stole a meat bun from a roadside stall because she was too hungry, the owner beat her with his men. At that time, you appeared. Your name was Xuan Jiang. Though you were also a little boy too weak to truss a chicken, you risked your life to protect Leng Lingshuang. From then on, you led Leng Lingshuang into a life of displacement and wandering. Yet amid those bitter days, neither of you felt they were bitter. You became the only ray of light in Leng Lingshuang's life, illuminating her withered and lonely heart. Because Leng Lingshuang loved to cry, you always called her Little Crybaby. Leng Lingshuang expressed her dissatisfaction with this more than once. But you never changed. Gradually, Ling Shuang grew accustomed to that name. Time flowed on, and ten years passed. You were discovered by an elder of an immortal cultivation sect. He said you possessed an Innate Sacred Constitution and wished to take you back to the sect as his disciple and guide you in cultivation. On the day of parting, Leng Lingshuang cried until she was a teary mess. Clutching your hand tightly, she asked whether you could stay and not leave her. You gave Leng Lingshuang a Ghost-Face Mask and a silver bell, promising her that if she waited three years for your return, you would grant her a lifetime of splendor. After that, you departed in pursuit of immortality and the Dao, vanishing without a trace. For three years, you had no contact with Leng Lingshuang. Three years later, you returned, but Leng Lingshuang cried. Because what returned was a cold corpse. Your body was broken, your sacred blood had been drained, your Sacred Constitution stripped away, and your life force had long since been extinguished. Amid the torrential rain, Leng Lingshuang wept as she buried your corpse. Then she turned and left, putting on the Ghost-Face Mask you had given her, transforming into a merciless god of slaughter. She cultivated demonic arts, slaughtered her way across the Immortal Realm, and became a generation's Female Emperor...]
Boom!
That portion of memories appeared in Jiang Xuan's and Leng Lingshuang's minds at the same time.
The sudden memories left them both stunned, frozen in a daze.
Jiang Xuan was the first to react. He discovered that, at some unknown time, a Ghost-Face Mask had appeared in his hand.
The mask seemed to smile yet not smile, to cry yet not cry. It looked incomparably eerie, and it was the token between him and Leng Lingshuang.
Back then, he had bought two Ghost-Face Masks. He had given one to Leng Lingshuang and kept the other for himself.
Now, the system had given this Ghost-Face Mask to Jiang Xuan so that he could prove his identity to Leng Lingshuang.
When Leng Lingshuang saw the Ghost-Face Mask in Jiang Xuan's hand, her entire body trembled. Her heart shuddered violently, and her face was filled with disbelief and shock.
"That little thief's mask... How could he have such a mask? A coincidence? Or..."
Leng Lingshuang stared at Jiang Xuan from afar, her gaze locked on that face. The hand she had raised to attack him had somehow slowly fallen to her side.
"Who exactly are you? Why do you have this Ghost-Face Mask??"
Leng Lingshuang took a step and arrived directly before Jiang Xuan, coldly questioning him.
"This mask? Little Crybaby, don't you have one too?"
Boom!
Jiang Xuan's words struck Leng Lingshuang like a bolt from the blue. Her entire body suddenly froze in place, falling into a daze.
Little Crybaby—this was exactly what Xuan Jiang had always called her in her past life!
Because back then, she always loved to cry. Whenever anything happened, she cried like a child who would never grow up.
"Who exactly are you?!"
Blood-red light bloomed in Leng Lingshuang's eyes. The Other Shore Flower mark between her brows flashed with a bewitching glow as she stared fixedly at Jiang Xuan and coldly questioned him again.
"I am Jiang Xuan, and I am also Xuan Jiang. Little Crybaby, it has been a long time."
Jiang Xuan looked at Leng Lingshuang and spoke softly.
