Chapter 2228  : The Past Life 153

There was an apparent eagerness in the eyes of the woman before her. Even her voice was a little choked up. Her gaze was sad and sorrowful.

“No!”

The Ninth Emperor clenched her fists tightly. Her heart felt like it was being hammered hard; it hurt a little.

“It’s not that I can stop just because you tell me not to look for you. As long as you are still there, I will search through the whole world. I will find you!”

‘I will find you...’

These words shook the woman’s heart so hard that the grief in her eyes increased.

“Then, if I’m not there anymore...”

“Impossible!” The Ninth Emperor looked somewhat anxious. “You left a letter back then, saying that you were going to find someone, and that’s why you left. Since you didn’t want me to find you, then why did you leave a letter? And you left it in a place where only I could find it.”

Everyone thought that her mother was dead, and Mu Yi thought the same thing.

So, she was the only one who knew that she was still alive.

She had just gone to look for someone.

When she found that person, she would come back.

But why after so many years, she had not come back? Was it just because that person had not been found yet? So, why could she not return for her?

The Ninth Emperor trembled as if there was a hand that had viciously torn her heart apart, causing her pain.

“Yes, I did go to look for someone.” The woman in white smiled faintly. “And I did find him.”

“So, why didn’t you come back?”

“Because... He went a little far away. And so did I as I went to look for him. I will never come back. I’m sorry, Little Nine. You do not need to look for me because I am no longer in this world... ”

‘I’m no longer in this world...’

This sentence made the Ninth Emperor fall into a low valley, froze.

The coldness, as if rushing into her heart, made her heart tremble fiercely.

She closed her eyes, trying her best to hold back the pain. Her face was pale, and her lips were trembling.

No longer in this world?

So she meant that she was dead?

If she was still alive, why did she not come to her instead of using this method to tell her?

If she were still alive, she would not have asked her to stop searching!

All these years, no matter how many trials and tribulations she encountered, the Ninth Emperor had always survived. She did not ascend to a god-level in one step but had slowly walked forward to get to where she was today only to find her.

She could also protect her now.

But why, when she already had such an opportunity, could she no longer use it to protect her?

She allowed her to be left alone in this cold world...

At this instant, the Ninth Emperor felt like the sky was about to collapse. Her body stiffened as she stopped moving, and her gaze fixed upon the gradually blurred face in front of her.

“Then, why did you... Not wait for me...”

Even one more glance...

“I’m sorry, Little Nine. If there is a chance in the future, we will definitely see each other again.”

“A chance?”

The Ninth Emperor closed her eyes and smiled coldly. After a short while, she opened her eyes. A touch of harshness and dominance flashed in her eyes.

“I will not wait for this opportunity. It does not matter if you refuse to come to see me. If you are still in this world, I will search every corner to find you. If you are no longer here... I will definitely find the way to you. You can’t leave me alone in this place!”
