Chapter 204: The Appearance of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady
“…”
In Donghai, the Dragon King of Donghai sighed as he watched the scene in the sky.
Were those memories that had been sealed away for so long finally going to be revealed?
————
“The Dragon Clan are beings that have existed since the same era as the gods. Although some fierce dragons occasionally cause trouble, most of the time, the Dragon Clan helps us humans.”
Facing the Dragon Princess’s innocent inquiry, Ye Xuan replied seriously, “As a member of the human race, how could I see the Dragon Clan as monsters? How could I be afraid of the Dragon Clan?”
“Really?” Hearing this, the Dragon Princess showed an excited expression, “You’re not afraid of me? That’s great! Ordinary people fear me, and the people in the Dragon Palace don’t play with me. Father is always busy. Will you play with me?”
“Play with you?” Ye Xuan looked surprised, “What does the Dragon Princess want to play?”
“Hmm…” The Dragon Princess thought seriously for a moment, then said, “I heard human musical instruments are amazing. Even Lord Candle Dragon often has humans play for him. Do you know how to play any instruments?”
“Instruments…” Ye Xuan said, “I do, but my instrument is at home. If I go to get it, I’ll only be able to come back tomorrow.”
“Tomorrow? Then it’s settled. We’ll meet here tomorrow.” The Dragon Princess said happily, then turned and left.
————
“Uh…”
Watching the harmonious interaction between the human and dragon in the scene, the audience felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
They had come to see the grudge between Ye Xuan and the Dragon Princess, not their daily interactions. These two didn’t look like they were going to fight at all.
Mo Qingshang, the fated child and Divine Emperor Sword Master, said faintly, “Ye Xuan probably didn’t come. He was actually scared and deliberately tricked the Dragon Princess.”
“Uh…”
The surrounding cultivators looked at each other, not daring to respond. After all, it was possible and not possible, making it hard to say anything definitive.

The next day, Ye Xuan arrived at the Donghai early, carrying a bamboo flute. Although the Dragon Princess had not yet arrived, he began playing the flute.
The clear and melodious sound of the flute seemed to make the waves gentle, softly lapping at the shore. A few mermaid women nearby were curiously peeking at the young man playing the flute.
“Uh… were there flutes in that era?” Watching Ye Xuan play the flute, Mo Qingshang couldn’t help but mutter.
Hearing this, everyone looked at him in surprise.
“Besides divine instruments, the flute is one of the earliest musical instruments invented by humans. Don’t you know that?” The Dragon Princess said.
“Ahem.” Mo Qingshang felt embarrassed.
Before transmigrating, he hadn’t studied the history of flutes, instinctively thinking they shouldn’t exist so early.
Not wanting to appear ignorant, he explained, “I meant that kind of standard flute shouldn’t exist in that era.”
“All things in this world were first invented and then popularized. At first, there was no standardization.” At this moment, Ye Xuan spoke up, “Divine Emperor Sword Master, if you don’t understand, it’s better not to speak.”
“You—!” Mo Qingshang was furious.
How dare this villain, who was about to meet his end, offend him, the protagonist? If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting and his need to maintain his image, he would have argued with Ye Xuan.

In the scene, Ye Xuan was quietly playing the bamboo flute.
He hadn’t seen any sign of the Dragon Princess yet. But then, a figure slowly approached him.
Barefoot on the sand, making little noise, but Ye Xuan heard her.
He turned to look at the approaching figure.
————
“Wow—!!!” The appearance of the figure in the scene made many cultivators exclaim.
It was… the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
Although the Taihua Immortal Sect revered the Heavenly Emperor instead of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, they still had the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique passed down from her.
While no one in the mortal world had seen her, her statues were still worshiped in many sects. Cultivators couldn’t fail to recognize the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
“The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady should be a god… The gods left the mortal world long ago. Could this period be even more ancient than we thought?”
“It shouldn’t be… Even dragons couldn’t live from ancient times to now and still be so young.”
Everyone’s gaze turned to the Dragon Princess. But they quickly realized that now wasn’t the time to worry about that. What they should be concerned about was why the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was here.
Had Ye Xuan actually faced a god before? While there were rumors that Ye Xuan was an primordial spiritual body, seeing a real god appear before cultivators was still thrilling.
Unfortunately, the one facing the god wasn’t them. Although all the cultivators outside the scene instantly recognized the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, Ye Xuan didn’t recognize the beautiful woman before him.
—————
He asked, “Beautiful lady, is there something you need?”
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady didn’t rush to answer. She quietly observed him for a long time before saying, “What is your instrument called?”
“This is called a bamboo flute. I made it myself and named it myself.” Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
“Hmm.” The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady nodded, “Can you play a piece for me?”
“Of course.” Ye Xuan said, then picked up the flute and began to play.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady listened quietly. The piece Ye Xuan played was filled with intense longing. Although she didn’t know what he was longing for, it was very moving.
Even the cultivators watching the scene had to admit that Ye Xuan’s musical talent was extraordinary.
After the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady listened quietly, she sighed, “I didn’t expect there to be such heavenly music in the mortal world. It’s truly moving. Your musical talent surpasses even the divine musicians of the heavens.”
“Do you want to come to the heavens with me? I can enlighten you to become an immortal, granting you eternal youth, longer than the average immortal’s lifespan.”
————
“What—!!!”
“The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady wants to enlighten Ye Xuan into an immortal and take him to the heavens?”
“Impossible—!!!”
“How can such a villain enter the heavens?”
At that moment, countless people were shocked.
After all, their cultivation, no matter how high, could only confine them to the mortal realm with no further ascent.
But entering the heavens meant a whole new world.
