Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Xiao Nannan: Don’t Leave Me Behind This Time (Please Follow)

The gigantic beast, shimmering all over with starlight, crouched low again and respectfully spoke in human language, "Greetings, Madam!"

Future Gu Qingcheng pointed blankly at herself, "Madam? Do we know each other?"

The Starlight Giant Beast nodded, "No mistake, you are indeed my Madam."

*Future Gu Qingcheng was completely baffled.*

Madam, that was what concubines and servants called the mistress of the house!

*She couldn’t remember ever accepting such a fierce beast as a servant.*

Then, the Starlight Giant Beast looked toward the small, floating Bronze Hall beside Future Gu Qingcheng, awe and worship in its eyes, and said,

"Greetings, Lord!"

Ziran exclaimed in disbelief, "Xiao Ye, she’s calling you Lord?"

"She seems to know about the Bronze Hall, and also knows you’re hiding inside it."

*Xiao Ye frowned tightly. What the hell was going on here?*

*He had never encountered a super beast like this one, all shimmering with starlight, looking like a Starry Sky Giant Beast.*

The Starlight Giant Beast’s dark gaze swept the surroundings, a flash of killing intent bursting in its eyes. The aura it had held back now surged forth, as it let out a furious roar.

"ROAR!!!"

"I told you all to come greet the Lord and Madam, what kind of attitude is this?"

"You better behave for me!"

The roar made more than two thousand Saint Realm Deep Sea Giant Beasts and over two hundred Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts shudder and tremble all over.

All the Demon Beasts instinctively reined in their furious auras, hiding it completely!

Then, in perfect unison, they all shouted, "Greetings, Madam! Greetings, Lord!"

"Greetings, Madam! Greetings, Lord!"

Their voices boomed like tidal waves, echoing for hundreds of thousands of miles, ringing across the whole planet.

*Future Gu Qingcheng stood frozen, her beautiful face blank.*

Madam and Lord, those were servant titles for the mistress and master of the house!

*Did this mean all the Deep Sea Giant Beasts on this planet were her and Xiao Ye’s slaves?*

But that Starlight Giant Beast, after hearing the voices of all the Deep Sea Giant Beasts, became furious and roared, "These are my Lord and my Madam—do you lot really think you’re worthy of being their servants?"

"Call him Young Master Ye, and her Young Madam!"

The Deep Sea Giant Beasts obeyed instantly, all shouting in unison,

"Greetings, Young Master Ye! Greetings, Young Madam!"

"Greetings, Young Master Ye! Greetings, Young Madam!"

The sound spread for hundreds of thousands of miles again, echoing endlessly across the planet.

*Future Gu Qingcheng heard this, and a look of delight appeared on her stunning face.*

*She actually called me Young Madam?*

*Young Madam, I like that!*

The Starlight Giant Beast nodded in satisfaction, "Very good."

"Lord, could you step out for a moment?"

"Let these little guys meet you, so none of the Sea Beasts get stupid and try to mess with you in the future."

Inside the Bronze Hall, Ziran exclaimed, "She really does know you!"

"Xiao Ye, should we really go out? What if this is a trap, and she wants to lure us out to attack?"

Xiao Ye shook his head, "It probably isn’t some trick. With the Starlight Giant Beast’s cultivation, along with all those high-level Sea Beasts outside, it would be all too easy to kill us—they wouldn’t need any tricks."

"Since she invited us out, we might as well go out."

Xiao Ye took Ziran’s hand and passed through the blue Light Gate, arriving next to Future Gu Qingcheng.

The Starlight Giant Beast’s pupils contracted, then it crouched even lower, its gaze thick with fear and undisguised worship.

"Lord, at last I see you again, I’m so happy!"

"Two thousand centuries have passed, I missed you so much."

"This time, please don’t leave me behind. I’ve grown up now, I have what it takes to help you!"

Her tone was pure joy, carrying longing.

Ziran poked Xiao Ye in the waist and whispered, "Aren’t you only eighteen? She said you’ve been alive for twenty thousand years."

"Xiao Ye, are you actually the reincarnation of some ancient Great Power?"

*Future Gu Qingcheng couldn’t figure it out either, wondering to herself, Did my future husband come back in time once?*

*But not to the present—maybe to some point twenty thousand years ago?*

*Why would he return from the future? Because just now, the Starlight Giant Beast called her Madam, which meant the Starlight Giant Beast knew that she, Gu Qingcheng, was Xiao Ye’s Beast Girl!*

*Future Gu Qingcheng felt that must be it; it made the most sense.*

Xiao Ye furrowed his brow, looking at the Starlight Giant Beast, and said, "Could you clear out these Sea Beasts first? They’re an eyesore."

"After you’ve cleared them away, explain to us how you know us. Then I’ll answer your questions."

The Starlight Giant Beast grew ecstatic and quickly replied, "Yes, Lord!"

She lifted her massive head and addressed the surrounding Sea Beasts,

"You’ve all seen my Lord now. Burn that face into your memories. Whenever you see him, it’s the same as seeing me. Treat my Lord and Madam with the same respect you show me!"

"All right."

"Leaders of each tribe stay behind, the rest of you may leave now."

The Deep Sea Giant Beasts heard this and cast a long, deep look at Xiao Ye, Gu Qingcheng, and Ziran, as if they wanted to engrave the trio’s images into their hearts.

Afterward, they suppressed their auras and quietly retreated.

Only ten Deep Sea Giant Beasts at the late Quasi-Emperor Realm remained, floating ten thousand meters away, keeping their power and presence hidden, waiting patiently for their Supreme Leader’s orders.

Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Future Gu Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. With so many Deep Sea Giant Beasts gone, the pressure in their hearts eased a lot.

The three of them looked at the Starlight Giant Beast, as if gazing into a starry sea—so deep and mysterious.

The Starlight Giant Beast’s voice sounded extremely pleasant, melodious and lingering, as she said,

"Lord, Madam, you don’t remember me?"

Xiao Ye and Future Gu Qingcheng shook their heads, "I’ve never seen you before."

"Me neither."

Xiao Ye said, "You’ve met us before?"

The Starlight Giant Beast’s eyes darkened. *Did Lord and Madam forget her?*

She explained,

"I’m Xiaonannan. Twenty thousand years ago, you rescued me from the Star Empire, brought me to this planet, gave me the Starry Sky Cultivation Method and some resources, gave me warmth and hope. If not for you two, I would have died with my clan’s destruction."

"Back then, you said Xiaonannan was too weak, a burden."

"Now Xiaonannan has grown up—I’m one of the top powerhouses in this part of the starry sky."

"This time, please don’t leave Xiaonannan behind, okay?"

Her eyes brimmed with longing.

*Xiao Ye was totally baffled.*

*What the hell, did he really save this Starlight Giant Beast twenty thousand years ago?*

*How come he had no memory of it?*

"Xiaonannan? Maybe you’ve got the wrong people?" he asked.

The Starlight Giant Beast replied confidently, "No way! Your name is Xiao Ye, and Young Madam’s name is Gu Qingcheng. Xiaonannan would never get that wrong."

*Xiao Ye scratched his head, utterly stumped. She even knew his name.*

*But why did she call Gu Qingcheng Young Madam?*

*His relationship with Gu Qingcheng was squeaky clean!*

Future Gu Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes turned in thought, and she spoke up, "I’ve figured it out! I know what’s going on!"

Xiao Ye and Ziran’s eyes fixed on her.

Future Gu Qingcheng declared with confidence,

"Xiao Ye, most likely, in the future, you and I traveled back in time, back twenty thousand years, and did something—maybe we went just to save Xiaonannan, or maybe we saved her along the way, then returned to the future."

Ziran and Xiao Ye suddenly understood.

*He and Mu Qingxue had the Time Attribute, and once they became powerful enough, time travel wasn’t out of the question, either.*

Xiao Ye looked at the Starlight Giant Beast, and said with a twitch of his lips, "You tagging along with us... not really practical. You’re just too huge, the size of a mountain, tens of thousands of meters tall."

The Starlight Giant Beast’s eyes sparkled, "Lord, I’m a Starry Sky Giant Beast, I can change my shape."

With that, surreal radiance swirled around her, and her massive body vanished, replaced at the center of the light by a stunningly beautiful woman in a broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt.

Looking up from below, her bare feet sparkled pink and crystalline, her broad-sleeved flowing immortal dress struggling to cover her explosive figure, and, finally, her breathtakingly beautiful face carried a trace of imperial might swirling about it.
