    **Chapter 0645: Yuemei's Secret**

    After entering Qin Yun’s room, Xiao Yuemei flopped onto the comfortable bed and pulled out a huge roasted beast leg to eat.

    "Sit up while eating! Lying down is bad manners—and don’t you dare get my bed messy!" Qin Yun teased with a laugh. "Yuemei, you’re acting less and less ladylike!"

    Xiao Yuemei ripped into the roasted meat like a wild animal and grinned. "Brother, how convincing was I earlier? Even the Manor Lord of Sword and Blade Manor bought it!"

    "Where’d you pick up all that high-minded talk?" Qin Yun asked.

    "The more you travel, the more you learn," Xiao Yuemei said in a deep, deliberate voice, as if she were some wise sage.

    But her messy eating gave her away—she looked nothing like a wise sage.

    Ling Yuner chimed in, "Xiao Yun, this wild child must be in constant touch with Grand Tutor Elder Sister, or maybe she’s lived before and knows things from a past life!"

    "Possibly. She trusts me completely but hasn’t told me yet, so there must be a reason." Qin Yun also sensed that Xiao Yuemei was not just some ordinary girl.

    Still chewing, Xiao Yuemei asked, "Brother, what Martial Soul are you gonna let me copy?"

    "Do you have a Phoenix Martial Soul?" Qin Yun asked.

    "Nope! I’ve been looking for one everywhere—where can I find one?" Xiao Yuemei bolted upright on the bed, eyes wide with excitement.

    Qin Yun walked over to the bed that served as a gateway to the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm and lay down. "Hold on, I’ll go fetch her."

    He entered the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm to contact Long Qiaofeng.

    Long Qiaofeng had remained in the realm ever since. As she put it, meditating there offered the perfect environment for contemplating totem martial arts.

    Qin Yun quickly found Long Qiaofeng and invited her to come.

    Back in the real world, Xiao Yuemei saw Qin Yun sit up. "Is that how you enter the Immortal Armory Illusory Realm? I wanna go in too!"

    "Don’t even think about it!" Qin Yun warned quickly.

    "Yeah, yeah!" Xiao Yuemei stuck out her tongue playfully.

    A short while later, Long Qiaofeng arrived—dressed in black, wearing a mask.

    The moment she stepped in, she saw a lovely young woman lounging on Qin Yun’s bed.

    "This is my little sister," Qin Yun introduced.

    "Your *little* sister?" Long Qiaofeng was taken aback.

    "Hello, big sister!" Xiao Yuemei quickly sat up and greeted politely.

    "Hello, I’m Long Qiaofeng, your brother’s friend," Long Qiaofeng replied with a smile.

    "A member of the Long family?" Xiao Yuemei seemed surprised.

    "Yuemei," Qin Yun said, "she has the Dragon and Phoenix Martial Soul."

    Xiao Yuemei took out her mirror and approached her. "Sis, mind if I borrow your Martial Soul for a sec?"

    Not quite sure what was going on, Long Qiaofeng relaxed and went along with it. Suddenly, she felt her Dragon and Phoenix Martial Soul flutter faintly.

    "Done!" Xiao Yuemei beamed once she was done.

    Long Qiaofeng didn’t press further, as she had complete trust in Qin Yun—since he’d helped her acquire the Dragon Totem.

    "Qiaofeng, the Martial Peak Tournament is about to begin. Have you managed to unlock any techniques from the Dragon Totem martial arts lately?" Qin Yun asked.

    Long Qiaofeng shook her head.

    Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuemei chuckled, "Unlocking totem martial arts is easy! You just... just need to let your Divine Martial Soul merge as much as possible with your own soul. If the totem recognizes you, it will naturally pass down its martial arts to you!"

    "Really?" Long Qiaofeng was surprised—she hadn’t expected Qin Yun’s sister to know such things.

    "Of course it's true! But the techniques differ from person to person." Xiao Yuemei giggled. "I also have the dragon bloodline and a Divine Martial Soul, but the Dragon Totem martial arts I received were nothing special!"

    Long Qiaofeng was even more astonished, but considering she was Qin Yun’s sister, it made sense.

    After all, Qin Yun was an anomaly, so his sister must be just as freakish.

    "Qiaofeng, go practice and see!" Qin Yun said.

    "Mm!" Long Qiaofeng hurried off.

    Xiao Yuemei said, "Brother, I should head out too!"

    "Why not stick around a few more days and keep me company?" Qin Yun asked.

    "I... fine! I'll stay with you a bit longer!" Xiao Yuemei was already delighted to have obtained the Phoenix Martial Soul.

    "Yuemei, do you want the Dragon Totem?" Qin Yun asked. "I can carve one for you!"

    "No thanks, I've got my own!" Xiao Yuemei giggled playfully. "Brother, show me around for a few days. I want to explore the Immortal Armory Palace—I can brag about it later!"

    Qin Yun smiled. "No problem, but first, I'll take you to replicate a Divine Martial Soul and a Strange Pattern Soul!"

    "Really? That's amazing!" Xiao Yuemei perked up at the mention of the Divine Martial Soul.

    After putting on a mask, Xiao Yuemei followed Qin Yun as they explored the Immortal Armory Palace.

    Qin Yun led her toward the Immortal Armory Hall.

    Xiao Yuemei gawked at everything along the way, clearly fascinated by the surroundings.

    "That's the Immortal Armory Hall!"

    After entering the forbidden zone, Qin Yun pointed at the white palace ahead.

    "Brother, you're unbelievable! You can just come to a place like this anytime!" Xiao Yuemei said admiringly.

    "Of course!" Qin Yun smirked smugly. "Let me go in first and ask the Supreme Elder if I can bring you inside."

    "The Supreme Elder—that immortal?" Xiao Yuemei teased. "I heard she's a woman! Big bro, you're something—swooning an immortal like that!"

    "Don't talk nonsense. That Supreme Elder and I have some conflicts!" Qin Yun brought Xiao Yuemei to the palace gates before stepping inside alone.

    Bingxing was within, coaching Liu Jingmeng’s training.

    "Brother Yun!" Liu Jingmeng, who was practicing a sword technique, brightened up and called out when she saw Qin Yun.

    Qin Yun strolled over grinning, and gave Bingxing a greeting as well.

    "Qin Yun, who's this grandaunt of yours? She effortlessly infiltrated the Yang Family and decapitated their patriarch!" Though Bingxing rarely left this place, she kept tabs on everything.

    Qin Yun suspected that Bingxing had puppet proxies moving about outside, which was how she knew so much.

    "That's not my great-aunt—she's... she's my sister-in-law!" Qin Yun said. "She's right outside the door. Mind if I bring her in?"

    "Brother Yun, your wife's sister is seriously impressive!" Liu Jingmeng exclaimed in surprise.

    "You bet! She's around your age—a real troublemaker!" Qin Yun laughed.

    Bingxing had known for a while that Qin Yun had a wife and had always been curious about what kind of person she was.

    "Let her in," Bingxing said.

    Qin Yun quickly went out and called Xiao Yuemei inside.

    As soon as Xiao Yuemei entered, she removed her mask.

    Once the mask was off, she saw Bingxing approaching.

    Upon seeing Bingxing, Xiao Yuemei froze.

    Bingxing did a double take!

    "You know each other?" Qin Yun frowned.

    "Yes!"

    "No!"

    Xiao Yuemei and Bingxing spoke at the same time—Xiao Yuemei affirming recognition, Bingxing denying it.

    "So do you know each other or not?" Qin Yun had his suspicions before that Xiao Yuemei could be a reincarnation, but now it seemed to be true.

    This further confirmed Ling Yuner's guess—Xie Qirou was pulling the strings. And it seemed she could even manipulate reincarnation!

    Enough questions!" Bingxing snapped coldly.

    Xiao Yuemei didn't elaborate either, instead chuckling mischievously as she asked, "Brother, you said I could get a better Martial Soul to copy. Where is it?"

    At that moment, she noticed Liu Jingmeng and bounced over energetically.

    "Such a pretty little girl!" Xiao Yuemei cooed, gently stroking Liu Jingmeng's adorable face.

    "Big sister, are you Brother Yun's wife's younger sister? You're very beautiful too!" Liu Jingmeng said sweetly, clearly immediately clicking with Xiao Yuemei.

    Qin Yun looked at Bingxing and quietly asked, "Bingxing, do you really know Yuemei? Has she awakened memories from a past life?"

    "Hmm. It seems the borderlands hold many secrets," Bingxing murmured, frowning slightly. "Don't worry—sly as she is, her heart's in the right place."

    When Xiao Yuemei brought out her mirror, Bingxing flinched slightly and whispered, "Her mirror... it's exactly the same as in her past life!"

    Qin Yun was completely lost. The idea that Xiao Yuemei also had a past life was something he wasn't ready to process.

    Yang Shiyue, Xie Qirou, Xiao Yuemei—even Xiao Yuelan and Qi Meilian—might all be cultivators who've awakened their memories from past lives!

    Yet he alone had no such awakening.

    He kept feeling like something was missing.

    Xiao Yuemei mirrored Liu Jingmeng's Divine Martial Soul and Totemic Runesoul.

    She was also very kind to Liu Jingmeng, giving her many small gifts, delicious treats, along with various pretty stones and ornaments.

    Qin Yun also planned to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Yuemei about a few things!

    Bingxing and Qin Yun walked over.

    Xiao Yuemei playfully shook the little mirror, clearly delighted.

    "Bingxing-jiejie, let me see your martial soul too!" Xiao Yuemei teased with a giggle.

    "Sure, whatever," Bingxing replied indifferently.

    Xiao Yuemei pressed the mirror against Bingxing’s abdomen, and it was over in a flash.

    "Let me see Bingxing’s martial soul!" Qin Yun hurriedly leaned in.

    Xiao Yuemei grinned, "No peeking! Otherwise, Bingxing will blame me!"

    Bingxing stayed silent, her attitude cool as ever toward Xiao Yuemei.

    Qin Yun couldn’t make anything of it either.

    Over the next two or three days, Xiao Yuemei played with Liu Jingmeng here, and neither Qin Yun nor Bingxing stopped them.

    Liu Jingmeng had a new friend now and was thrilled.

    "Brother, I should go now. I’ll come back when I have time!" Xiao Yuemei figured it was time to go and hugged Liu Jingmeng goodbye, even pecking her cute cheek.

    Liu Jingmeng didn’t want her to leave and waved sadly.

    Bingxing and Liu Jingmeng walked Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei to the door.

    Qin Yun tugged Xiao Yuemei’s hand as they hurried out of the Celestial King’s hall and back to his own residence.

    "Yuemei, you know about your past life—and mine as a Celestial King, right?" Qin Yun asked seriously.

    "Brother, if your memories aren’t back yet, just leave them buried!" Xiao Yuemei giggled. "Don’t stress! I’m still your mei-mei, okay?"

    "Okay, time to go—see me off?" Xiao Yuemei said.
