Chapter 246: Edward’s Secret
“Reincarnation?”
Yuliya pondered, poking her chin thoughtfully.
Reincarnation did sound pretty reasonable.
She was the last Golden Princess, as confirmed by the system and repeatedly validated by Aslan and the Dream God from the Ruinous Country.
There was no way that could be wrong.
I mean, how could the last Golden Princess—who existed over ten thousand years ago—still be alive today? Unlikely, considering she was currently just a little kid. She definitely didn’t look like this in her past life.
So, the idea of the last Golden Princess being reincarnated made perfect sense.
However, this had nothing to do with Players—or Xu Xiaofeng, as she was once known!
This was all part of the NPC package deal.
Xu Xiaofeng transformed into Yuliya in the Otherworld… how did that even work?
Wait, thinking about it now, it might actually be possible that Yuliya became Xu Xiaofeng on Blue Star.
“Uncle Edward, the situation I dreamed about is completely different from the memory fragments I mentioned before,” she complained.
She could view Blue Star as a dream and the Otherworld as a dream as well.
“Different?” Edward raised an eyebrow.
“Yeah, totally different,” she asserted.
Yuliya summarized her experiences on Blue Star using a fantastical vocabulary filled with magic-tinged descriptions.
There were running blocks, super common life magics (like physics), and all sorts of dazzling wonders.
“See, Uncle? This has to be completely different from those random memories. There’s not even a hint of correlation.”
Edward nodded, “Very true, there’s a huge gap. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re talking about.”
“Then how do we explain this?”
Edward suddenly chuckled, ruffling Yuliya’s hair. “Well, who said you could only be reincarnated once? The methods of the strong often exceed our imagination.”
“Oh… so more than once…”
That sentence hit Yuliya like a bolt of clarity, her mind instantly becoming clear as day.
“Hehe, it seems that’s the case!”
All doubts vanished, and everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Although it might differ slightly from what Edward expected, Yuliya fully embraced this explanation.
Since reincarnation could happen more than once, why not split it into two?
The foundation of the mighty Golden Kingdom was rich, and its methods were unpredictable—impossible to imagine!
Anything was possible!
Now, there was just one final question.
“Um… Uncle Edward, Sister Elia, and Brother Isaac… if I am the reincarnation of a powerful being, then how do I fit in now…”
“Count! Of course, it counts!” Elia exclaimed, hugging her once more. “Little Yuliya, you really love to let your imagination run wild, don’t you?”
Edward nodded again, “Yes, indeed, girl. Now that you’ve awakened the memories of your past life, aren’t you still you? In fact, as a reincarnation, we’re even happier, like discovering a treasure!”
Isaac chimed in, “Exactly!”
He hadn’t expected to be called out too.
“Thank you! Thank you, Brother and Sister, Uncle!”
Yuliya felt completely at ease now, able to roam around this land and Blue Star without a care in the world.
She took another bite out of Sister Elia’s cheek.
As for Edward and Isaac, let’s not get weird about it.
“Alright, alright. Our lively little Yuliya is back! Later, I’ll treat you to a feast at the Royal Palace, with Elder Brother and Uncle as well!”
“Yay! Make sure it’s a super huge portion!”
Edward nodded, “Alright.”
Isaac remained expressionless, “Do as you like.”
After a simple meal—technically three were enjoying it simply while one was still wolfing down the food—Elia and Isaac began to chat around Edward.
“Uncle, you’ve been gone for so long. What on earth have you been up to?”
Edward had suddenly resigned from all his positions ten years ago and disappeared, causing a minor stir in the Empire.
At that time, his reputation was nearly on par with the Emperor himself.
With the Emperor severely wounded and Edward, the then Royal Knight Order leader, injured and retired, the Empire temporarily lost two major pillars, and panic ensued.
Fortunately, after a while, the calamity ceased, and the people’s hearts gradually settled.
“I naturally went to find a quiet place to recover.”
Where else could he have recovered? Why disappear like a magician?
Elia and Isaac clearly weren’t buying it.
“Okay, fine. The other purpose was to look for someone.”
While speaking, he glanced at Yuliya.
“Did Uncle go specifically to find Little Yuliya?”
“Not exactly. During that perilous battle to eliminate the calamity, I had some insights amidst the danger. I knew I’d meet the destined inheritor in Falling Leaf City, so I went there to wait.”
“Just a few months ago, I realized that the person I was waiting for was actually this girl. I hadn’t seen her specialness for years prior.”
“Inheritor…” Isaac murmured, “Is that the inheritance of Uncle’s most powerful ability?”
“Yes.”
Isaac chuckled wryly, “That’s the ability you didn’t want to pass on to me after I followed you for four years?”
“Isaac, I’ve tested it. It’s not that I didn’t want to pass it to you; it’s just that you can’t learn it. Just take a look at the difference.”
Edward suddenly shouted to Yuliya, “Kid, show them the ability I passed on to you!”
Yuliya looked up, licking off a tiny bit of dessert at the corner of her mouth, and blinked, “Huh?”
What’s going on?
“Dragon and Phoenix Power.”
“Uh…”
What kind of ability was this?
Yuliya blinked for a moment before it hit her.
Oh right, that move actually did exist.
But… I’d almost forgotten it! Why am I demonstrating this all of a sudden?!
Dear master, there’s still more to this chapter! Please click next page to continue reading; it only gets more exciting from here!
Honestly, I haven’t even used this much!
At first glance, it seemed like a future god-tier move, but it was pretty useless early on.
Once the Golden Law, Golden Eyes, and Golden Battle Technique combo was unleashed, it was total chaos, and I completely forgot about this skill.
It was like coming back from summer vacation, only to have the teacher shout, “Yuliya, hand in your homework.”
At that moment, she remembered… what?! There was homework?!
Had I known earlier, I could’ve copied it! Now I can’t even remind myself!
“Well, um, Uncle, I’m not really proficient with this skill yet. Maybe next time…?”
“Still calling me Uncle? You’re a full-on princess now. That’s not very elegant. How about you just call me ‘Teacher’ from now on?”
cr*p! This is like a teacher checking homework!
“Alright, I’ll make sure I warn you—all my attempts might be a complete train wreck, so don’t laugh at me.”
Elia smiled and waved her hand, “Don’t worry! Just being able to learn it is impressive. You can refine it later.”
As expected, Big Sister is sweet!
Yuliya nodded, stood up, and moved to an open area.
After a moment of concentration, she finally steeled herself, clenching her fists and roaring, “Dragon and Phoenix Power, activate!”
In the next moment, a golden light burst forth, and a golden dragon erupted from her body, swirling around her before letting out a mighty roar and shooting towards the sky.
The soaring dragon’s cry echoed throughout the entire royal city, its majestic form catching everyone’s attention.
The entire royal city froze for a moment, and then all the guards, maids, and royal relatives prostrated in awe.
