Hence, other than the people in Haitian Kingdom, no one knew about this.

“My father told me about this before.”

The Ninth Emperor—the G.o.d who had created this realm disappeared after that.

“However, I have heard of one more thing… the ancient book also recorded everything about the Ninth Emperor… including her affinity for the spirit beasts.” Xiao Ying leaned over as she whispered.

The young lady frowned but did not say anything.

“Rumor has it that Your Highness is the reincarnation of the Ninth Emperor. Look, this realm has been created for so many years. Apparently, the Ninth Emperor has pa.s.sed. Your Highness has a special affinity with spirit beasts, just like the Ninth Emperor. Isn"t it proof that Your Highness is the Ninth Emperor?”

The young lady grinned.

“Xiao Ying, watch your words. Those are rumors. If it turns out that I have nothing to do with the Ninth Emperor, I will be caught in an awkward predicament.”

Perhaps the young lady had always treated her servant well, Xiao Ying stamped her foot slightly and was not the slightest afraid that she would enrage the young lady.

“Young Highness, I speak the truth. Besides Your Highness, no one could get close to the spirit beasts. I am sure that you are the Ninth Emperor.”

Startled, the young lady turned her head around to look at the vast azure sky. The corner of her lips slightly lifted.

It was great if what the servant said was true. However, there was no proof to the servant"s words. Hence, the young lady did not believe it entirely.

Even so, the servant"s words seemed to beckon the young lady. She lowered her eyes with a faint smile on her face.

“Xiao Ying, what happened to the young master that I brought back up from the Ninth Emperor"s mausoleum?”

The mausoleum of the Ninth Emperors was unearthed a year ago and had t.i.tillated countless warriors. However, the people who set off to the mausoleum were all stopped halfway and no one was capable of going further.

Burning with curiosity, the young lady too went to the mausoleum. Just as the young lady reached the mausoleum, she found a young master who had lost his consciousness but was not the slightest bit injured.

The young master was the most stunning man that the young lady had ever seen. Subsequently, she tasked a few guards to take him back to the palace.

As the emperor loved the princess so much, he did not rebuke her for bringing a young master back to the palace. Since then, the young lady had allowed the young master to rest in the palace next to hers.

It felt so satisfying every time she looked at the young master…

As for why the young lady wished that she was the Ninth Emperor, just like what Xiao Ying said… It was because the young lady too had secretly read the ancient book!

On the last page of the ancient book was a painting of a man with a vertical line on his face. Besides the vertical line, the young master that she brought back looked extremely similar to the painting, as if he was actually the man in the painting.

If this young master was the man in the painting, was it proof that he was related to the Ninth Emperor?

If the young lady were the Ninth Emperor, now that the young lady found the young master in the painting, was she destined to meet him?

It was a pity that…

Although the young lady had an affinity with spirit beasts, similar to the Ninth Emperor, there was no other proof that she was the Ninth Emperor. Even if she wished that the rumor was true, she dared not hope for too much.

Sure enough, the princess of Haitian Kingdom had no idea that in fact, the Ninth Emperor had no affinity with spirit beasts. Instead, she had the spirit herbs that the spirit beast could not resist.

She could get close to the spirit beasts as those spirit beasts around her were lowly intelligent and spirit beasts with poor strength. As long as humans were willing to get close to these spirit beasts, the spirit beasts too would get close to humans.

Moreover, spirit beasts could hardly survive in this realm. Hence, for the lowly intelligent spirit beasts, as long as one showed that she cared for them, earnestly or pretentiously, they would accept it.

Naturally, this did not work for the highly intelligent spirit beasts!
