Divine Emperor of Death

No matter how she thought, the number of buildings with similar architecture couldn't be built by Tian Long, unless he had a civil engineering degree specialized in ancient buildings but she knew that he had none of that sort.

But if that wasn't the case then the words Meng Ying said should be true to an extent. Nevertheless, she didn't have enough pieces of evidence to confirm Meng Ying's doubt.

"Forget it..." She shook her head and sat on one of the tables that had two chairs.

Mo Mingzhi breathed in the fresh air which was none other than heaven and earth energy and felt it be refreshing! She felt that it would be great if she had some refreshments like hot coffee to accompany this serene emotion welling up within her.

Nevertheless, there were only some books in front of her which made her scoff and turn nostalgic, thinking about the time she had spent in the orphanage.

Indeed, she had studied to lot to climb up the ranks in a respectable job even though she could live a life of luxury from the wealth Tian Long had left with her account.

"Now tell me who are all the important characters in this Royal Castle?"

Meng Ying placed the remaining books on the table and started to explain about the characters in the Royal Castle to the best of her memory.

By the time Meng Ying had almost finished her detailed review, Mo Mingzhi inwardly sighed and had the urge to see Tian Long well up within her. 

But she still hadn't heard about the person she wanted to know the most about!

She couldn't help but ask, "What about the Crown Prince?"

"..."

Meng Ying stopped explaining about the Emperor of the Loret Empire.

"Shouldn't I leave the strongest person for the last?" She laughed, "Still, I get your urgency of wanting to know about your man."

Mo Mingzhi just smiled and wasn't surprised. 'She is the woman of the Crown Prince' should've settled on everyone's mind even if it were false.

Besides, the first time she had met Meng Ying, she far already confirmed her status to Meng Ying and closed the door on her face after a bit of talk.

At that time, she was really nervous that Meng Ying had some schemes for her. Nevertheless, she now knew that Meng Ying was just a gender-selective introverted person; meaning that she was normal with women but shy in front of men.

Meng Ying cleared her throat as if she were preparing a special speech for this person.

"From the moment the Crown Prince was born, he had been sent to an inconspicuous place with a loyal guardian to..."

She started to explain the sequence of events from his birth till now which shocked Mo Mingzhi to a great degree!

'Tian Long was born here? He had been sent to a remote location for protection during the rebellion?'

'Tian Long had started exhibiting his traits of a genius from a young age?'

'Tian Long has a master who is a mysterious person? And his master also massacred more than two million people when being invaded!?'

'When he was around 10, he killed two Emperors of other the invading Empires just by using the mysterious means of his master!?'

'He then disappeared from the Grand Sea Continent for more than a half a decade, heading to the First Layer before reappearing and marrying the bride who was engaged to him?'

'This... This...' Mo Mingzhi became absolutely stumped.

Although she couldn't believe her words, it seemed like... Tian Long had really transmigrated here! Or was it better to term it reincarnated but that would mean he had the memories of his previous life which seemed farfetched than transmigration...

Contrary to what she initially thought, Tian Long didn't change his face nor disguise himself as the Crown Prince but had a history like all the people here!

However, she couldn't confirm the veracity of Meng Ying's words.

Nevertheless, she gave Meng Ying the benefit of doubt since she had also felt Tian Long's origin in this world to be dubious before and this matter also explained why he was able to become this strong in two decades.

'He has too many secrets as well, like from her words, I can guess that his mysterious master is probably the reason he was able to transmigrate or reincarnate here but it also seems like something he made himself up since the 'mysterious' master never seems to show up.'

'Yes, like the ones in the novels...'

'But, powerful people can be eccentrics too.'

'Besides, it seems unrealistic for Tian Long to massacre more than a million army... He did not decide to kill me when I was a child... even taking care of me.'

'Deep down in his heart, he should be a kind person.'

'Yes, I can't rule out the possibility that his mysterious master might exist but just disdains to meet these people here except for his disciple, my man...'

Mo Mingzhi's lips curved as she felt proud of her choice and her deduction. Even if her deduction was wrong, she felt that she shouldn't be entirely wrong.

After hearing about all of this, her urge to meet Tian Long intensified, so she could no longer keep quiet.

"Meng Ying, do you know when and where I can meet the Crown Prince?"

Meng Ying went startled before she blinked her eyes in confusion.

Looking at her reaction, Mo Mingzhi slightly turned embarrassed, thinking that her clandestine thoughts had been found out by Meng Ying.

"You don't know?"

Without lying, Mo Mingzhi said with a straight face, "I don't know. I haven't met the Crown Prince from the time I have secluded myself."

Meng Ying had a shocked expression on her face, "No, I didn't mean that."

"I asked if you don't know that the Crown Prince has left to a place far away from us that can't be reached without a trial or a key! The First Layer!"

"What?" Mo Mingzhi stood up as her pupils radiated disbelief.

On the opposite side of the round table, Meng Ying was astonished, 'She really doesn't know...'

'But doesn't that mean that she was used and thrown away by the Crown Prince...' Meng Ying felt anger rising up within heart.

Although she didn't like the Crown Prince ever since he had tried to find the pathway to Earth through force, she had felt impressed by his broad-minded attitude which didn't enforce the people of earth into slavery.

But now, only a certain amount of disgust remained. 

"Mingzhi, don't worry." Meng Ying tried to placate as she saw her trembling, 'She must feel betrayed... Poor Mingzhi...'

Mo Mingzhi did indeed tremble and she did feel betrayed! However, she didn't feel betrayed by him but by her own expectations.

She suddenly stopped trembling but then...

"Pfft!" She suddenly laughed at herself, holding her stomach with by folding her hands.

Meng Ying was taken aback, 'Could it be that she lost it...'

"Mingzhi, Mingzhi, listen! You don't have to worry. Things will work out in the future! Believe me!" She instantly tried to calm Mo Mingzhi.

Mo Mingzhi kept laughing, not intending to stop. Her mocking laughter echoed through the surroundings.

'That's right... He never said that he would wait for me.'

'It's up to me to catch up to him and make him fall for me... Such a classic way of doing things.'

'Does he want me to pursue him like this? I never thought he would play hard to get!'

Soon, she stopped laughing and looked at Meng Ying's worried expression with a smirk on her face.

"It's not what you think. The Crown Prince and I never shared a bed, at least, not yet."

Once she let the words out of her mouth, she daintily sat and looked Meng Ying's cheeks turn red.

"I'm the one pursuing him, not him."

Meng Ying became stunned!
