Reaching the top floor, Qin Chuan knew the person meeting him wasn't the City Lord of Tongtian, as it was impossible for him to be there.
Who else besides the City Lord of Tongtian could recognize him?
"Sir, please go up yourself!" the hotel owner said with a smile.
Qin Chuan nodded, "Thank you for your trouble!"
With only one floor left, Qin Chuan went up. When he saw the person, he was startled; a faint, familiar aura emanated from her.
Not just familiar, but also dangerous.
This person was indeed an acquaintance, a woman, specifically someone from ten thousand years ago.
The woman from the phoenix crystal coffin whose formation Qin Chuan had broken.
A woman like a goddess, a woman who had slept for ten thousand years—unsurprisingly, a member of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan.
The Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan was the Nine Heavens Land, and Qin Chuan's continuous progress was all for the sake of reaching this so-called Nine Heavens Land.
Because Chu Shi Qingzhu, Tantai Huangqing, Yu Luoqing were all there, even the Demon Lord and others were there.
She was a true goddess, her beauty in no way inferior to Chu Shi Qingzhu's, one like a celestial being, the other like a goddess.
She was a true goddess.
The Heavenly Water Divine Body!
A pair of beautiful, water-moon-like eyes, not dazzlingly bright, yet radiantly shimmering.
Qin Chuan hadn't expected to encounter her again here. She had already arrived in the Divine Realm. Back then, she had slept for ten thousand years, trapped in an array, still in the Immortal Realm.
"Hello, we meet again," the woman said softly.
She seemed to be smiling, yet not smiling, but Qin Chuan saw a gentleness in her. She was a true goddess, the closest to a goddess among the women Qin Chuan had ever met.
"Yes, what a coincidence. How have you been these past years?" Qin Chuan asked gently.
He didn't know what to feel about this woman. Their constitutions were very compatible, unlike Zhao Han's Yin-Yang constitution or Xue Qianxun's constitution being inferior.
Standing together, they could feel the attraction between their constitutions, like fish and water. While they wouldn't die without each other, the attraction between them was strong.
However, both were rational, adults, and the woman was a very special person. This attraction was actually nothing to him; he could easily ignore it.
Even so, she was still all alone, wandering this world, not knowing who she was or what she was supposed to do. She could only wait, wait for her memories to return.
She dared not trust anyone now, because even he didn't know who she was.
But she trusted Qin Chuan, because he had rescued her; otherwise, she didn't know if she would still be alive.
She looked at Qin Chuan; this was the second time she had seen him, yet he felt a strange familiarity.
Although it was the second time they had met, they had spent some time together the last time. For Qin Chuan, he had almost forgotten this woman.
She was very beautiful, a goddess, a true goddess, comparable to Chu Shi Qingzhu in some ways. But she was too special; reason told Qin Chuan not to get involved.
The Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan, a clan destroyed ten thousand years ago, was not someone he could contact now. His own affairs were already a mess; he couldn't create more trouble for himself.
He wasn't a savior; he couldn't take the world as his responsibility, and besides, he couldn't do it. So, he hadn't thought much about her over the years.
But now he had seen her, encountered her, and was here, all alone, and she was also alone, so for a moment, he felt a sense of kinship.
"I'm fine. When did you get here?" the woman asked curiously.
"I just arrived in Tongtian City today. How long have you been here?" Qin Chuan asked curiously.
He hadn't told her about her background when he warned her not to go to the Divine Realm, and he didn't know if she knew now.
"I've been here for ten years," the woman said.
Ten years is truly a blink of an eye for martial artists; it's really not a long time. The two of them were standing on the rooftop, a gentle breeze blowing, bathed in sunlight—it was very comfortable.
Qin Chuan felt very comfortable now; it was a feeling he couldn't describe, a very good, happy, and relaxed feeling.
"Qin Chuan, do you think someone like me needs to live like this?" the woman asked in a low voice.
Qin Chuan hadn't expected her to say such a thing. Did she know his identity?
At least she knew he had been asleep for a long time, perhaps even for ten thousand years.
If that were the case, she could investigate events from ten thousand years ago, and combined with his own characteristics, it wouldn't be difficult for her to find out about his background.
"You know about your background," Qin Chuan said.
"Well, although I haven't regained my memories, I'm certain about my origins, Qin Chuan. What do you think I should do?"
Her voice was low, not like she was asking Qin Chuan, but rather just saying it.
Her situation was actually complicated. She had no memories and no sense of belonging to her origins. It was like someone suddenly telling you that you're a child from a family you don't know, that your family is gone, dead for tens of thousands of years.
And you're asked if you want to avenge your family.
Qin Chuan didn't know how to comfort her. She was a lonely person, truly lonely, without a home, suffering from amnesia, and burdened with a deep-seated hatred.
"What will you do if you never regain your memories?" Qin Chuan asked.
"No, as long as I live, I will definitely regain my memories, and it won't be long," the woman said confidently.
Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback, understanding. The woman was actually uneasy about the moment she regained her memories, about when she knew who she was, when she remembered everything from the past, wondering if she could bear it.
The world changes, tens of thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye, but everything is only just beginning.
"Everything exists in this world, evil and good. There are places illuminated by the sun, and there are also dark places where nothing can be seen. The dead are gone, and the living must carry on the legacy. If you regain your memories, don't act impulsively. Think carefully about what you want to do, and as long as you have no regrets, then you can do it," Qin Chuan said after thinking for a
moment. Qin Chuan had specifically investigated those who destroyed the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Clan. The forces involved were incredibly powerful, and now they all dominated their respective regions, even ruling over a part of the world.
These people in the Nine Heavens Land were like giants or demon lords.
If he hadn't regained his memories, he wouldn't have felt much of a sense of belonging, wouldn't have been too sad, and wouldn't even have thought about revenge, because he felt nothing.
But with his memories restored, it would be different. With this woman's strength and potential, she would definitely turn the Nine Heavens Land upside down.
"Have a drink with me!" the woman said softly.
"Okay!"
The woman was quiet and reserved, but her demeanor didn't seem out of place.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
"Could you come with me somewhere?" the woman asked.
"Sure!" Qin Chuan replied.
"Aren't you going to ask where we're going? What if I asked you to help me kill someone?"
