Chapter 3 - Chapter 3 Fragment of Past

Even though it sounded narcissistic, he was not exaggerating when he thought like that. Because in the mirror, where the reflection of his face could be seen clearly, his hair was still the same silver white as before, but even more beautiful.

His face was almost perfect, with a sublime beauty. And his eyes, which were supposed to be black, were now pale gold, looking like exotic gems. While his body was hidden beneath a pale white robe, Xiao could tell that he had the perfect Greek god like physique with a chiseled six pack.

All of his bodily beauty was hidden beneath his clothes. If a normal woman were to see what was beneath his clothes along with his face, then she might go crazy on the spot and follow her biological instincts to do anything to mate with him.

'So scary! I better hide my body properly with my clothes then.'

Then he focused on something else.

'Even though my face and body are more handsome and in better shape than before, they look very pale instead, and my body feels slightly weak at the same time, as though I am a sick person suffering from an illness.'

This fact made Xiao confused, as he didn't remember getting sick or anything.

'Was it because of transmigration?'

Xiao pondered for a long time, but even after thinking for so long, he couldn't come to any conclusion that might lead him to the truth.

While he had many guesses and theories about it, without any solid evidence to prove them, all of them were pointless.

'Sigh. If I could only have the memories of this body's owner, then I wouldn't be this clueless and confused. Dammit.'

Xiao thought as he let out a bitter sigh. Anyway, there was nothing he could do about that. So Xiao ignored this matter and focused on what he could achieve and do next.

'Information. I need information. Without information, I can't do anything.'

Thinking so, he was about to turn around and walk in the direction of the door to explore the house and find any clues regarding his situation.

But at this moment, a terrible pain, just like the last time, suddenly assaulted his mind.

Before Xiao could understand what was going on, he was overwhelmed by the pain as an intense headache filled his mind.

A painful groan escaped from his lips as though someone was once again striking his head ruthlessly with a hammer.

"Dammit!"

He fell to the floor, kneeling while clutching his head with both hands as he tried to endure the pain.

But then Xiao's expression froze as though he had seen a ghost. At the same time, a strange sense of fulfillment filled his entire being, as though he was whole again.

But his focus was not on that, because other than this strange feeling of fulfillment, a wave of memory fragments also entered his mind. Some were small, while others were large and long.

But it wasn't the memory fragments themselves that filled him with shock. Rather, it was the memories contained within them that made him freeze.

A sense of unbelievable laughter escaped from his lips.

"No way!!!!??"

Clutching his head tightly as it was still filled with pain, Xiao's face broke into a distorted smile as he began to laugh like a lunatic.

"Hahahahahaha! Crazy! This is simply insane!! Are you kidding me??? This is ridiculous!!!!!!"

After some time, he finally stopped and let out a deep sigh.

His face was still filled with disbelief as he couldn't believe what he had seen in those memories.

'Nothing makes sense now. I feel like a mental patient after watching those memories. Sigh.'

The reason those memories invoked such a strong reaction from him was because, within those memories, he saw himself living another life in this unknown world.

Or rather, a cultivation world.

"Nine Emperor World? Great Emperor? Cardinal Royal Family?"

Xiao muttered in a daze.

From the memories he had seen, the owner of this body or rather, the Xiao of this world had been an orphan since birth. Then one day, when he was around five years old, he was adopted by a beautiful lady named Yao Ning.

After being adopted, he learned that Yao Ning, now his aunt, was actually the Empress of a very powerful cultivation family or rather, an Immortal Family and Emperor Lineage in the Nine Emperor World.

The Cardinal Royal Family was so powerful, influential, and possessed such a deep foundation and rich history that their origins could be traced back to the Age of Gods and Demons.

And in every generation, there would be some monstrous geniuses born within the Cardinal Royal Family.

"Truly a jade spoon."

Xiao commented sarcastically. While he was glad, at the same time he couldn't help but complain about and criticize his own luck and background.

Since the beginning of the current, Age of Emperors, the Cardinal Royal Family had cultivated a Great Emperor in every era. They had also produced three Supreme Emperors, who later became the founding ancestors of the Royal Family.

A feat that had surpassed all other Emperor Lineages and factions in the entire world.

But even though they had accomplished so many feats and miracles that led to countless historical events, the Cardinal Royal Family was not arrogant, prideful, or short-sighted at all.

Instead, it was a visionary family that did not believe in playing short-term games for small profits.

Instead, they liked to scheme and play the long game, which would benefit and preserve their legacy for ages to come while elevating their family to an entirely different level.

A prime example of this was that, many eras ago, there were two peerless geniuses in different Eras who were being hunted down by other powerful factions because they had offended far too many people during their rise. And they had no powerful faction to back them.

This caused them to be hunted down and nearly killed.

But the Royal Family saved their lives at the last moment and offered those geniuses a chance to join them. However, due to some unknown reasons, or out of pride those geniuses refused.

If it had been any other family or faction, they would have killed those geniuses out of spite.

But the Cardinal Royal Family was different.

Instead of feeling disrespected, the Royal Family chose to invest in those geniuses by giving them resources and secretly protecting them.
