Chapter 2257: The Past Life 182

When Dongfang Yu left, the Ninth Emperor still could not feel at ease.

She pursed her lips, staring in the direction the little girl left for a long time.

Perhaps after that nightmare, she felt restless and, therefore, had a hard time sleeping at night.

She was only wearing a snow-colored tulle, transparent and thin, that did not block the wind.

The night wind blew quite strong, revealing her thin snow-white legs.

Nan Changfeng did not leave. He stood under the tree, watching her.

The Ninth Emperor walked out the door and saw the young man not far away…

The young man looked handsome, better than the clear moon in the sky, breathtakingly beautiful.

He slowly walked to the Ninth Emperor, putting his coat on her body. “The night wind is quite strong. You might catch a cold if you dress like this.”

The Ninth Emperor smiled. “From my breakthrough to this rank, I fall sick so easily.”

As one reached a certain rank, one would be able to resist any disease.

Only ordinary people would catch a cold…

But for the Ninth Emperor…

She had not felt the wind and cold for a long time.

She only remembered when she was young and not feeling well; her mother would always look after her.

Mother…

The Ninth Emperor’s heart sank once again. She lowered her gaze, hiding the helplessness in her eyes.

Her mother was no longer on this mainland, and her mother even said that destiny would bring them together again.

But…

It was still hard for her to accept this fact.

Whenever the night came, she always recalled that tenderness back then.

“Nan Changfeng…” The Ninth Emperor turned to the young man next to her. “I no longer have a mother.”

Nan Changfeng looked at the Ninth Emperor in silence.

“I do not know where she has gone, but I know that I will not be able to see her again…” The Ninth Emperor smiled bitterly. “And I don’t want… Anyone from Cloud Mountain to leave me.”

All the people in Cloud Mountain were important to her. She was willing to devote everything to protect them.

However, the Ninth Emperor did not know that she could never see her mother again for many years.

After being reborn in Hua Xia, she grew up without a mother and only had a stepmother.

After crossing over to Cang Yue Mainland, she could not see Nalan Yan either.

Moreover, the Ninth Emperor did not expect that everyone in this Cloud Mountain would be buried here one day.

Except for the silver snake… No one survived!

If the Ninth Emperor knew about that today, her heart would hurt so bad it would be difficult to breathe…

“Did you have a nightmare?” The young man looked at her concernedly.

The Ninth Emperor smiled. She tugged at the young man’s lapel and dragged him in front of her.

“Changfeng, can you sleep with me?”

‘Can you sleep with me…’

Her tone was light as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.

Her smile warmed his heart…

“Alright…”

Nan Changfeng smiled stunningly. This smile would not be erased from her memory for so many years…
