My System Is Three Thousand Years Early

Cheng Guang couldn’t help but be taken aback when he heard Ning Qianxue’s words.

He was curious about Ning Qianxue’s past life, yet Cheng Guang also held respect for her, and unless Ning Qianxue chose to speak about it herself, Cheng Guang would not probe further.

Now, Cheng Guang suddenly heard Ning Qianxue broaching the subject.

Even if his mind was slow, he understood that Ning Qianxue wanted to share the secrets of her past life with him.

Cheng Guang’s gaze shifted from Qing Luan’s retreating figure, settling on Ning Qianxue.

"You may speak."

Ning Qianxue’s eyes slightly narrowed as she raised them to gaze at the bright moon in the sky, "In my past life, I was an insignificant person within the Heavenly Court."

"Do you know of the Heavenly Court, Princely Heir?"

Ning Qianxue asked Cheng Guang when she reached this point.

Cheng Guang nodded slightly.

Ning Qianxue wasn’t surprised; after all, she regarded Cheng Guang, the distinguished Town-Nation Duke’s Heir, as someone with a high status and a broad outlook. He had access to things that others could not reach.

While the Heavenly Court was a mystery, there were still many who knew of its existence.

After a short pause, Ning Qianxue continued, "Since the Princely Heir knows of the Heavenly Court, it will be easier for me to explain."

"My past life was that of a celestial within the Heavenly Court, not a powerful or influential deity, just a minor fairy who entertained the Various Gods with her arts."

"My name was Chang’e."

After Ning Qianxue finished speaking, Cheng Guang’s eyes were already wide with shock.

Within Cheng Guang’s eyes, a shade of astonishment emerged as he stared blankly at Ning Qianxue, seemingly unable to believe that her past life was indeed Chang’e.

Who was Chang’e?

Reputed to be the most beautiful being in the Heavenly Court.

Although Ning Qianxue was extremely beautiful, Cheng Guang had never associated her past identity with that of a being like Chang’e.

This time, Cheng Guang was truly shocked.

He stared blankly at Ning Qianxue for a good while, unable to collect himself.

Ning Qianxue noticed the shock in Cheng Guang’s eyes and pursed her red lips slightly before sighing softly.

"Hence, my status was not high, and my life in the Heavenly Court was not so free."

"After the severance of the Great Dao, all deities attempted to seal themselves away to survive until the Great Dao was restored, and then they would gather together once more."

"But I... did not have much attachment to the Heavenly Court."

Ning Qianxue’s red lips slightly parted as she spoke word by word, her bright eyes focused on Cheng Guang. The aura of a fairy seemed to become more intense around her.

Cheng Guang, at this time, also managed to recover from the shock brought by Ning Qianxue’s words. He took a deep breath and laughed, shaking his head slightly.

"So that’s how it is."

"That’s why you didn’t leave my side, nor did you go to the Heavenly Court."

Ning Qianxue nodded and moved to sit on the bed beside her.

"That’s the reason."

"Moreover, there’s another, even more crucial reason."

Ning Qianxue spoke these words with the corners of her mouth curled in a profoundly meaningful smile, playfully grinning at Cheng Guang.

Cheng Guang’s eyes narrowed slightly with curiosity as he asked, "What reason is that?"

Ning Qianxue lifted her hand and pointed directly at Cheng Guang.

"It’s because of you."

Cheng Guang paused, then pointed at himself as well.

"Because of me?"

Ning Qianxue nodded, puffing her cheeks a bit huffily.

At this moment, Ning Qianxue seemed like the true Ning Qianxue, not Chang’e.

She transformed from an elegant fairy into a simple, silly girl.

Ning Qianxue pouted, glaring at Cheng Guang, and as if she recalled something that made her blush, her face, white as jade, turned beet red.

As if at any moment, it could drip blood.

"It’s... it’s... because of you…"

"How can you be such a rogue!"

Ning Qianxue stuttered, and at the end, she glared at Cheng Guang with a mix of embarrassment and indignation.

During the time when Ning Qianxue’s past life awoke, she was completely dominated by her past memories for a while.

When entirely ruled by her past memories, she was almost completely Chang’e.

But.

It was only after Ning Qianxue’s own memories and those of her past life fully merged that she returned to normal.

The memories of her past life, because of Cheng Guang’s presence, took on an indescribable hue in Ning Qianxue’s mind.

Cheng Guang was looking at Ning Qianxue in such a manner, listening to her words, and he realized what Ning Qianxue was implying.

Cheng Guang also couldn’t help his face turning red as he coughed.

"Well, you know."

"Who knew that just at that time, you would suddenly awaken your past life’s memories."

"That timing was too coincidental; I didn’t do it on purpose."

Ning Qianxue shook her head, evidently not wanting to continue the topic.

After taking a deep breath, she continued.

"That’s why I won’t leave."

"To tell the truth, although my past life’s memories span a very long time, compared to this life, the memories of this life seem far more meaningful."

"So, to me, you’re quite important, both in my past life and in this one."

After Ning Qianxue finished speaking, her face turned a bit redder.

Listening to Ning Qianxue’s words, Cheng Guang felt a warmth in his heart as he stepped forward and took Ning Qianxue’s hand in his.
