Chapter 2139: 25.29 Lone Black Star - For real!?
Watching the scene of the book spirits gathering around a pile of sweets left the group dumbfounded. They were welcomed by the strange, fantasy-like library full of fairies that never existed outside of this place. Moreover, they are all real just by seeing them fly in front of them and even happily eating the small desserts the caretaker had given to them. Well, the four members of the royal family were actually stunned by the scene and they didn’t know how they should react in this situation.
The Imperial Empress grabs her husband’s arm and whispers, "Husband, what are those flying things? Are they fairies?"
"This... I don’t know. This place is strange. I wonder if this is truly the interior of the Forbidden Area," whispered back by the Imperial Emperor.
The Duke, Lord Ye Jie, stood in front of his brother after pulling his wife behind him. It can be said that he was now at front and the protector of the three people behind him. He pats his waist trying to find his weapon only to remember that weapons aren’t allowed in the Imperial Palace and especially not in front of the Emperor and the Empress.
Lord Ye Jie said, "Xiao Jing, stay back. It is unknown what kind of danger can be found in this place!"
"But... I felt something familiar in this place?" The duchess, Lord Mo Jing said while looking around confused.
It was at this moment that the book spirits finally noticed them and one of these fairies appeared in front of Mo Jing looking at her intently. One big and one small stare at each other as if trying to find something from each other’s eyes. This only lasted for a split second as the two of them looked startled that one moved away while the other flew back.
Wua~
Almost falling to the ground the duchess was caught by his husband before he hit his head. The duke glared at the book spirit while protecting the three back within his range of attack. It was unknown when he had grabbed a letter opener somewhere within the library.
Lord Ye Jie said with a low, cold voice. "Back off! Whatever you are!"
"Calm down, A’Jie!" The Imperial Emperor said as he grabbed his younger brother. "I don’t feel malice coming from them."
"Caretaker, please explain what is happening and what is this place?" The Imperial Emperor of the empire said.
The caretaker of the forbidden region was about to speak when suddenly the book spirit had gathered around the four of them. Having varying expressions on their faces. The four royal family members were dumbfounded once again. Lord Ye Jie tried to stop himself from attacking these flying things because of his brother’s words but he didn’t allow them to approach them too close. Then they overhear these book spirits talking to one another.
"Hey! Don’t you think these people smell familiar?"
"Yes! The scent of the master and that bastard husband of his!"
"Hey don’t call the first emperor a bastard, the master will get angry."
"But why are there two of them who smell like the first emperor and only one smells like the master?"
"Oh my god! Did the first emperor split himself into two!!?"
"Will the master be alright?"
The caretaker finally spoke and said, "Little ones, these are the descendants of the First Emperor and the First Empress. They are not your master and his husband."
"Oh~ so it wasn’t them, no wonder!"
"What are they here for?"
"I wonder when will the Master and his bastard husband return?"
"It’s been a while I miss them a bit!"
Upon hearing the conversation between the book spirits and the caretaker, the royal family felt that these little ones are harmless. Seeing this, the Imperial Emperor stepped forward and spoke up as well.
"Greetings, I am the current emperor of the Empire, the 21st Emperor. My name is Ye Wang. Can I ask who you guys are and where we are?"
The book spirits happily introduce themselves, "We don’t have names individually and the master called us Book Spirits. You are now in the World Library where all knowledge about this world is recorded."
"So you are the 21st Emperor of the Empire and surnamed ’Ye’. That means you are that bastard. I mean... The First Emperor’s descendant!"
"Then this one... You who smells a bit like our master. Is your surname ’Mo’?"
The book spirits all stare at the duchess who notices they are talking about him.
"Pleasure to meet the Book Spirits. I am called Mo Jing from the Mo Clan."
The fairies all looked happy when they heard the surname Mo.
"Mo!? I told you he is the master’s descendant!"
"But didn’t the Master say it’s not possible for him to have children?"
"Hey! The master said he had an older brother before running away from his family. Is this one from the family line?"
"No wonder the scent is too thin."
Then the book spirits stop talking among themselves and speak to the descendants of their masters.
"So why did you come here?"
"Is there something you want to read? We have almost everything in this place?"
The Imperial Emperor, Ye Wang responded, "We would like to see the original Royal Genealogy."
"Oh that~ alright! Come with us!"
"It’s better since you are already here!"
"Record your current family tree as well!"
"Come with us!"
"This way~"
The four royal family members looked at one another and then at the caretaker of the area.
The old caretaker said, "This servant and my grandson can only go up to this area. The area where the genealogy is, is at the centermost of the library. Please follow the book spirits who will show you the way."
"We will be back later, Caretaker!" The Imperial Emperor said.
The four of them following the lead of the book spirits were dragged to a small room with only a wall located on it. But this wall is quite long, like an endless corridor. Then when they had read what was engraved on the wall they recognized some names on it. All the names of the former emperors and their family tree. The more they read the more surprised they are.
It was discovering a history that even they didn’t know. Some names were famous and infamous throughout the history of the empire but who would have thought that most of the recorded heroes and villains in the history had connection to the royal family.
"Brother, this is real! Some of the names here were something recorded in our Empire’s history as heroes and some are villains. How come they are all recorded here as a part of the royal family," whispered the duke, Lord Ye Jie.
The Empress and the Duchess also cannot believe it. They had also found some of the names of their own ancestors and great grandfathers and grandmothers. Something they never knew before.
"Everything recorded here is real and each name was recorded by the name owners themselves."
"Later you will have to engrave your names here too. Then your children, your children’s children until the end of the world ends. Every name of the royal family shall be recorded."
"By the way, you want to check the genealogy means you are looking for a name or names? Have you found it yet?"
"Or you can tell us the names, we can help you find them~"
The playful book spirits said.
The Imperial Emperor didn’t decline the kindness of the book spirits and said, "We would like to see the names of two people: Ye Xiajie and Mo Anjing."
The moment the two names were uttered the book spirits suddenly turned quiet and looked at them in disbelief. Their cuddly faces were collectively saying things ’Are you for real? Asking such a question? Are you right in your mind?’
"Is there something wrong? Do these names have bad meanings?" The Duke, Lord Ye Jie asked.
Seeing their reaction the book spirits believe that these guys weren’t playing them and that they are truly asking for these two names. Then the book spirits suddenly giggled happily.
"We know these names!"
"Come with us! Hurry!"
"Let’s race!"
"To the very front end!!"
Chasing after the happily flying book spirits, the four royal family members finally reached the end of the Genealogy family chart of the royal family. When they reached the end of the chart they saw a portrait of two people, an extremely large one. It’s a portrait of two young men. The sentinel possessed a dangerously handsome face with perfectly refined features of a gentleman with aggressive presence and indifferent eyes. His crimson eyes looked like he was looking down on everything in this world. Beside him is a guide, with an androgynous, beautiful face. The corner of his cerise lips were upturned into a playful smile, with a pair of phoenix-shaped eyes and irises as if the ocean itself lives in it.
When all four of them noticed the two faces on the painting, they were all dumbfounded. The book spirits happily introduced these two.
"These are the masters and creators of this place and the whole empire!"
"The First Emperor, his majesty Ye Xiajie and his beloved Empress, his majesty Mo Anjing!"
"By the way, they had awakened a dual ancient dragon quantum beasts and become immortals."
Speechless, the four members of the royal family, stare at the portrait in disbelief. The duke couldn’t believe it at all that he had pulled his terminal and checked the photo of the couple whose origins were unknown.
Lord Ye Jie and the others compared the two photos and whispered, "Immortals? For real!?"
