Chapter 128: The Empress Investiture Ceremony

Ye Cheng could only weep silently; he truly did not know what to say to this young mistress.

Ye Cheng said, "You are a candidate for the imperial harem and are destined to enter the palace. If we are overly intimate and word gets out, it will ruin your reputation."

"Pah! Let's see who dares to gossip; unless they have a death wish." Su Yun appeared completely indifferent.

...

Lei Xiao slowly retreated and went to check on Lei Jing, telling her not to worry and to take good care of their father, before finally heading to Lei Ting's residence. As soon as he entered the main hall, all of Lei Ting's generals were present, their gazes falling collectively upon Lei Xiao.

Several elders... they had joined forces with Emperor Feng Zhiling of Fengxi and the Lin family to reclaim the imperial city. In truth, this was already the best and final course of action. If Ruoyue suffered heavy casualties, Prince Yu would certainly press his advantage and pursue them relentlessly. Rather than fighting to the death, it was better to conspire with the Emperor of Fengxi; perhaps they could secure a place of survival for the remaining people of Ruoyue.

However, their attacks were not fierce, and they caused almost no damage to the sturdy body of the Green Phoenix. Moreover, their attacks were not aimed at the bird itself, but rather at the final protective soft armor covering it.

Once Chu Yin regained her freedom, she did not unleash any offensive techniques, but instead immediately cast a teleportation spell to flee.

Feng Li nodded, feeling a powerful pressure; the stronger one’s cultivation, the greater the pressure became.

"There are many such techniques. The 'Firmament Fantasy' offers several, though they require piloting a robot; magic-based ones also have telepathic effects; and in the martial arts realm, as long as one is slightly powerful, they can perform feats like sending messages across a thousand miles..." Wang Wushuang thought for a moment before providing Melody with a few options.

Thinking that I had been dragged into God's Game and might never see my family again, I couldn't help but shed tears. I really wanted to go home. Although I was often bullied in my original home, at least it was a place I was familiar with.

Watching Nangong Bai curiously observing Tian Luo and Jian Ge extorting shares as if they were collecting protection money, Wang Tian assumed Nangong Bai intended to hand his share over to Da Tian of Tian Luo. He didn't say anything and hurried over to the side of the madman to pledge his loyalty.

At this moment, in the middle of the street, the only living person, Wang Yong, was kneeling on the ground, struggling to crawl forward like a beggar whose legs had been severed.

I also stared intently into Mu Tou's eyes, but this time, I seemed to perceive a trace of persistence in the depths of his gaze. It appeared he had truly made up his mind not to reveal this secret to us—a kind of persistence I had never seen in him before.

Seeing Zhong Hou so nervous, Sun Xinda was somewhat surprised, but he recited the phone number nonetheless.

Three vigorous characters were carved into the stone stele: "Stele of Hidden Cultivation." Baida stepped closer, wanting to observe it carefully, when suddenly a flash of white light erupted from the stele, startling him into stumbling backward.

"Did you mention me to your grandfather? What did he say?" Gao Weng’s expression was clearly odd, filled with an eagerness like that of a criminal waiting to hear his fate.

Seeing Liu Rumei’s fiery temper, her recent words and actions, and her bewildered expression, Gu Feng lowered his head. It seemed he would have to ponder this matter and have a thorough discussion with Mo Mingchen.

Hearing the roar of firecrackers outside, Liu Rumei suddenly tore off her headscarf in front of everyone.

Even though he knew this fellow was pretending, Mo Fei still had to call out to him—who else but him was the key figure? The dream Zhong Hou spoke of had already been reported to his master, who was overjoyed and said that all hope rested upon him. Recently, his master had been acting strangely, showing an anxious impatience for success that was truly worrying.

The reason this man was imprisoned here was that he had pursued Shui Yue Cang Hua too aggressively, annoying her to such an extent that she had no choice but to seal him here. Come to think of it, the Heaven and Earth Divine Array in the second trial was actually there to seal him.
