LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN TIGRESS 221 The Last Living Descendant 3

The Emperor, not knowing what happened, ran towards the direction Xing ran and found her with an owl in her hand.

So she caught it?

When Xing got there she only saw the owl and had to chase it to catch it.

"Tell your master to show up or else I am not going to let you go. You can say goodbye to your master!", she held the owl by its leg so it can't fly away.

But there was no movement...!

"See how ugly you are! Just because you have big eyes, you are not cute..! You are creepy! Creeepy as h.e.l.l! No wonder people a.s.sociate you with death. You look like death!"

Xing started to roast the owl to get its master to show up.

"Whoa! Don't turn your head like that... You look like a possessed rat!"

"You are ugly."

Xing felt bad for the owl but didn't stop roasting because she wanted her Master to come out. The Emperor was by her side and he just stood there not knowing what his take should be in everything that is happening around him.

"You have no redeeming qualities, who'd want you?"

" Has anyone told you how eerie your voice is?"

"No one likes you!"

Xing continued and was interrupted by a gentle and authoritative voice,

"Enough, kiddo! Let Yueyue go"

The Emperor stiffened up hearing that voice and he saw Xing smirking.

Oh, the arrogance! And he really is here!

"Master Yuan, show yourself to me or else I'll barbeque your Yueyue! "

"Is this how I taught you?", Master Yuan appeared in front of her mildly startling Xing and the Emperor.

"I don't know... I lost a lot of my memories with you because of a spell, it seems!", Xing talked back and a guilty expression appeared on his face.

The Emperor felt the oppressing aura emitting from that person in the Crimson robes and a mask and wondered why he wanted to kneel in front of him. He was the same height as Mingxia and didn't look burly but his gait was that of a warrior and his demeanour was that of a gentleman.

Who is he?

"I will answer all of your questions. But before that, let Yueyue go", he commanded.

But Xing is Xing and she just shrugged, "Show me your face first!"

"Let her go first!", he was firm.

The Emperor looked at the both of them facing each other in the setting sun with their crimson silk robes fluttering in the gentle breeze that brought the scent of the water droplets mixed with some herbs and both of them had no intention to move an inch and he just decided to be the silent observer.

In the end, it was Master Yuan who gave up first as Xing was unmoved.

Master Yuan removed the mask first revealing his amber eyes and then he proceeded to remove the Crimson cloth he used to cover his hair and the rest of his face.

Xing was surprised to see his jet black hair,

Isn't the characteristic of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor his black hair and Amber eyes? And why does he look so familiar?

The Emperor was the one who got the ultimate surprise.,

Why is this guy looking exactly like Mingxia? Replace her hair and eye colour, and they both will be like identical twins with similar facial features but this guy is like twenty six, twenty seven years old? Could they be siblings? But How could AoTian have a kid this old? He is just thirty four!

"You look familiar", Xing said letting the owl go and it flew happily and sat in a highest tree nearby. Xing keeps her promises as the good girl she is!

IS SHE SERIOUS? Familiar? He is your twin!

"Don't you look at mirrors, Mingxia?", the Emperor asked but Xing didn't understand his sarcasm once again and answered truthfully, "Not much, since I am ugly!"

The Emperor, "...."

Master Yuan, "..."

She really thinks she is ugly?

But Xing was in other thoughts. For some reason once she looked at him, she felt like he is too similar to the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor. He even had the mole on his left earlobe as it was mentioned about the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor. Even if he is the descendent of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor, this is too much right? Black hair, Amber eyes, birthmark...

How can we confirm?

Xing decided against asking him and went near him and pulled his collar loosening his robe trying to peak under his robes in his left shoulder.

"Mingxia!", the Emperor was embarra.s.sed for her suddenly trying to undress a man but Master Yuan didn't mind and pulled his shoulder out and there it was... The Scar from the wound that made the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor return from his war campaign...!

Okay there are too much similarities... So...

MASTER YUAN IS THE TIANs.h.i.+ EMPEROR?

But.... He lived two centuries ago... How could he be a guy in his twenties...?

So if he is the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor then am I the Descendant like the Emperor said? She looked at the Emperor and he was equally shocked and he gestured her to ask him.

"Are you the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor?", Xing's voice was slightly shaking and she felt cold all over. This guy is her hero! And he is supposed to be dead! But he is right in front of her talking! He had saved her life too!

"Do you need more proof?", he raised his eyebrows.

"Am I your..", Xing could not finish her question as her throat closed and she gulped trying to compose herself but she could not let her voice out.

" Yes, I am your ancestor from your mother's side!", he was clear and precise in explaining.

So, this is it! This guy who looks like a big brother is my ancestor from generations before.... Xing felt her throat go bitter as she remembered what the G.o.ds said and with everything happening to her...

Isn't this guy the root cause of all of my struggles? Isn't this the guy the reason for my unwilling stay inside the inner palace? Isn't this guy the reason for the G.o.ds to want my blood?

Thinking about all that made Xing angry and she fisted her hands.

"One more question, did you visit Lord Zhong Yingjie just before he pa.s.sed away?", Xing asked with her face still facing the ground hiding her emotions.

"Yes, but he made his own choice", the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor replied truthfully and without any remorse. He is the elder, right?

Xing snorted and a beautiful smile bloomed in her face now reddened with various emotions,

"Master Yuan, didn't I previously promise that I'll slap you the moment I see you again? Forgive me for not keeping the promise", she said and walked towards him.

The Emperor found something odd with her behaviour and watched her closely. What might she do? And didn't she say her mother's side had a long line of single daughters? So is she the last Descendant of the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor?

The Tians.h.i.+ Emperor wasn't that concerned. He was glad that he get to finally tell his descendent the secret he had kept for long... So long...!

"It's fine. In fact it is good manners. After all I'm your..."

*BOP*

A heavy punch landed in the Tians.h.i.+ Emperor's face as he almost lost his balance , "... Ancestor", he finished his sentence and stood straight rubbing the left cheek where she punched him.

Xing just stood there blowing her knuckles that hurt with the punch but somehow the suffocating feeling in her chest got lifted.

The Emperor was petrified realising what he just witnessed.

MINGXIA IS THE LAST LIVING DESCENDANT OF THE TIANs.h.i.+ EMPEROR!

AND SHE JUST PUNCHED THE TIANs.h.i.+ EMPEROR RIGHT IN THE FACE!
