Nangong Jue slowly put down the brush in his hand, gently blew away the remaining ink drops on the tip of the brush, and then cast his eyes on the lifelike painting in front of him.

The woman in the painting is as beautiful as a fairy, with cinnabar on her lips and a bright red dress, looking charming and graceful. She wears an exquisite and gorgeous golden tassel phoenix crown on her head, which makes her look more noble and elegant.

Looking at this painting, Nangong Jue felt endless sadness and longing in his heart.

She used to be so peerless, but unfortunately she was framed by a traitor. Now that he has found her consciousness, he will protect her in this life. He believes that in the future, she will rise again and become invincible.

"No matter what you want, I will always be by your side, guarding you and protecting you." Nangong Jue murmured to himself, with a firm light in his eyes. He was willing to protect her silently, even if she no longer remembered him.

At this time, a breeze blew by, blowing the wind chimes in front of the window, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Nangong Jue raised his head and looked out the window, as if he saw the familiar figure walking away in the distance.

Although time has passed and years have changed, Nangong's love for her remains the same. After sleeping for ten thousand years, he finally found her trace in this small place.

The Imperial City

On that day twenty years ago, a golden dragon circled in the sky above the imperial palace, let out a dragon roar, and then quickly disappeared. This day was the day Nangong Jue was born, and it was also the time when his soul awakened. Thousands of birds gathered in the sky above the Biluo imperial capital, and a strange phenomenon occurred. A white light fell quickly from the sky and directly fell into the belly of a noble lady in the Biluo imperial palace who was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"Empress, please push harder. Don't sleep. It will come out soon." The nervous midwife standing by shouted at the exhausted queen.

Then, after hearing the midwife's voice, the queen screamed with her last bit of strength. After she felt something flowing out of her lower body, she fainted.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, it's a dragon son!" The midwife held the newborn baby in her arms with a happy face and carefully handed it to the bedside, her eyes full of joy and excitement.

Looking at the delicate little guy in front of her, the midwife's heart could not help but surge with warmth. She gently stroked the child's delicate cheek, then slowly stood up, ready to report the good news to the emperor who was waiting outside the door.

The midwife walked to the palace gate with light steps and gently pushed open the heavy door.

When she saw the emperor anxiously waiting outside the door, she immediately knelt down and saluted, and said in an excited voice: "Your Majesty, great news! The queen has successfully given birth to a healthy and lovely little prince, please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Hearing the good news, the emperor showed a relieved smile on his face.

He hurried into the palace and came to the bedside to visit the weak queen and her newborn son.

However, none of them expected that on that day, the real child had already died of lack of oxygen due to difficult labor.

The baby lying on the bed at this moment is actually a soul that has been sleeping for ten thousand years and has broken through the air from the distant sky and entered this small body.

Perhaps it was fate, or God's blessing, that Nangong Jue's consciousness miraculously entered the body of the newly dead baby. From then on, he possessed Nangong Jue's memory of ten thousand years.

The family he belongs to is none other than the famous Nangong royal family. As royal aristocrats, their status is extremely respected.

The emperor personally named the newborn "Jue", implying that he would be able to rise in the future in this turbulent and war-torn era, become an unrivaled strong man, and control all people in the world.

As the eldest son and grandson of the Nangong royal family, he was naturally canonized as the eldest prince, and also became the crown prince of the dynasty. After him, the emperor welcomed three more princes and two princesses, but Nangong Jue was always the most special one, carrying the expectations and future of the entire Biluo imperial capital.

He started practicing since he was a child, and was noticed by the dean of Wuji Academy when he was 5 years old. He was said to be a genius among the celestial beings and wanted to take him in as a disciple. His father, the emperor, and his mother also agreed to let him go out to gain experience so that he could be able to shoulder important responsibilities in the future.

Nangong Jue has also built up his own power in the past twenty years and has been constantly searching for Jiang Xue's soul. Over the years, he didn't know how many places he had traveled to, and he couldn't remember how many times he had searched on this continent. Finally, he found her in Tianlong Country, where he had been when he was 8 years old.

He always believed that if he could wake up, Jiang Xue could definitely wake up too. Unfortunately, when he found her, she no longer remembered what happened ten thousand years ago. He could feel that her soul was unstable, and she might be living in the body of this person named Jiang Xue just like him.

Later, he sent people to investigate Jiang Xue's character. His subordinates said that Jiang Xue had always been bullied by the Jiang family, especially by her second sister, and she dared not fight back. The third sister even smiled at her, but secretly instigated Jiang Yan to bully Jiang Xue.

After that day, he arranged for Lin Feng to protect Jiang Xue in secret, and report any news to Nangong Jue every day, so he was more certain that Jiang Xue's soul must have changed. As for Jiang Xue's soul before, he analyzed that it should be the same as his at that time, but he didn't know what impact Jiang Xue's soul had suffered, and her soul was a little weak at that time.

Nangong Jue withdrew his gaze, walked out of the yard, and stood at the gate of Jiang Xue's yard.

The moonlight from the sky fell into the yard, and fireflies emitting green light flew back and forth in the yard.

Nangong Jue stood at the gate of the courtyard, hesitated for a moment, and finally left.

"Squeak..." Jiang Xue just opened the door and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Nangong Jue's lonely back.

"Nangong Jue, are you hungry?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile. Her smile was like a spring breeze and was particularly beautiful in the dark night.

Suddenly, several fireflies flew around Jiang Xue. At this moment, Jiang Xue was like an elf in the forest.

"Wow, there are fireflies here!" Jiang Xue's eyes revealed surprise. She had only seen fireflies when she was a child in the 25th century, and had never seen them again after she grew up. It might also be that she was in the city and couldn't see them, so fireflies might have become extinct.

In short, she found it incredible to see these twinkling fireflies here. Through the fireflies, she seemed to have returned to the 25th century and felt a momentary sense of familiarity.

Jiang Xue was in a good mood tonight. While she was practicing, she remembered that she still had to help Liu's mother refine the pills. So, she stopped practicing, refined the pills in the pharmacy, and asked Cuizhu to send them to the auction house tomorrow.

Jiang Xue had just finished refining the elixir and felt a little hungry, so she thought of going to see Nangong Jue if he wanted to eat something. She did it together, as she wanted to eat some steak today.

When I opened the door, I saw Nangong Jue.
