But the First Prince cited many examples that there were several ancestor emperors in the Changjing Kingdom chose the woman who had given birth to other's children. Those women possessed both political integrity and ability, but they just met loafers.
Finally, the Changlong Emperor had no choice but to say that if he moved Hua Qiyue, he would have consented to his marriage.
So Huangfu Shenglin came here happily.
But he didn't expect to meet Yun Shimo here. Seeing how intimate he and Tianci were, Huangfu Shenglin had a horrible feeling.
"My fiancee and son are here. How can I not be here?" Yun Shimo replied flatly, with a ray of sternness in his eyes.
Huangfu Shenglin smiled awkwardly. "Qiyue is my benefactor. So I want to invite her to the palace. But it doesn't matter if you are not free. I will give a banquet to thank you when you are available."
Hua Qiyue showed her charming smiles, which made Yun
Of course Hua Qiyue did not dare to take it. It was after all the Crown Prince's possession. It was so rare that it was more precious than divine herbs. Naturally she did not dare to keep it. Yet Huangfu Shenglin insisted. Hua Qiyue had no other choice. She smiled helplessly, "You'd better keep it by your side, Crown Prince. If anything's up, you can contact me using its sound transmission." Huangfu Shenglin's eyes brightened. "Very well. Only two of us can use this. It's getting late. You'd better take an early rest." Huangfu Shenglin was about to leave. Hua Qiyue saw him out of the mansion and watched his carriage ride out of her sight. The passers-by saw them and stared at her with angry, jealous eyes. Back in the courtyard, the moonlight was lovely. Tianci had finished his cultivation and gone to bed. It was such a hot night. Hua Qiyue could only immerse herself in the new bathing pool in the backyard. After H
When Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo came out together, Ji Feng and the others were waiting for them outside. This time, Hua Qiyue noticed that Huangfu Shenglin and his guards were also there. She was quite astonished. "The Crown Prince is too delicate and important a personage. Are you sure you want to join in our operation?" Yun Shimo was looking quietly at Huangfu Shenglin. Huangfu Shenglin's eyebrows shot up as he laughed valiantly, nodding. "Yes. A divine weapon's too rare. Even if I can't get myself one, it'll be good just to see it." Then, he gave Hua Qiyue a meaningful glance, his eyes full of tenderness. Hua Qiyue did not dare gaze into his burning eyes. She could not quite believe his decision to take part was in any way due to her. After all, there were countless women and beauties around. Huangfu Shenglin was already the Crown Prince. What kind of woman would he lack? Must he risk himself to obtain a divine we
Hongyi and the others were astonished. They focused their eyes and saw that Granny Wang's hand was on fire. No matter how hard she tried, she could not put it out. The fire was like some creature with an extremely powerful lifeforce, clinging on to her stubbornly! Terrible screams rang out, making everyone's hairs stand on end. The remaining four grannies could not bear the sight. They tried to put out the fire on that granny's hand. All of them coalesced their spiritual energy into fluid. With a "Poof!", they finally put out the fire. At the same time, Hua Qiyue retracted her hand. She no longer tried to maintain the fire. Had she not done this, it would prove almost impossible for the four grannies to quench the flame. "Ah... my hand... my hand... " The old woman shrieked. She watched her hand, now scorched black, her face full of terror! Hongyi stared dumbfounded at the whole scene. She could not quite believe her eyes.
Hua Qiyue narrowed her eyes, pursing her watery, peach-like lips. "What's the purpose of this Fiery Divine Tree?" Yun Shimo replied quietly to her question. "The Fiery Divine Tree can help a fire-system Qi Artist gain fast promotion cultivating under its shade. You are practising Heart of Fire, which can be considered a fire-system art as well." Hua Qiyue heard him and felt a little baffled. Where was Spiritual Qi more plentiful—under a Fiery Divine Tree, or in the Mysterious World? She would know once she reached the place. "Not only that. A Fiery Divine Tree is full of treasures—its leaves and branches can be used as medicines and antidotes to countless poisons. They also embody the essences of the heaven and the earth. Even if you take just a bit, they can fortify your physique by more than twofold," Huangfu Shenglin explained. Hua Qiyue's eyes started to gleam. To fortify the physique by more than twofold—she liked this ver
Those people were sent flying by the Fiery Divine Tree and they crashed to the ground, wailing like dead pigs. They couldn't even climb back up to their feet after that. They paid the price for their reckless actions. Those who remained calmed down and no longer dared to act rashly. The Fiery Divine Tree seemed so powerful that it seemed as though it could send them to their doom if they tried to act recklessly. Hongyi yelled coldly, "Why aren't you snatching the sacred relic? Teachers, go grab it!" "Young master, please be patient. The Fiery Divine Tree is incredibly powerful!" an elderly woman said darkly. Hua Qiyue glanced at all these women coldly. She didn't have a good impression of those women at all. All these people wanted was the sacred relic, so they were waiting for Yun Shimo to deal with the Fiery Divine Tree first. She looked at them and decided that they were all as cunning as foxes. Y
He was the deputy sect leader of the Gnawing Devils Sect and no one had ever dared to speak to him so impudently! He was Chou Tianhen and was extremely powerful. He was invincible throughout Gnawing Devils Sect with the sole exception of the sect leader. Thus, he couldn't believe that Hua Qiyue who seemed to be a young girl of eighteen had dared to speak to him so rudely. Chou Tianhen was completely enraged. "Very well! Since you're not afraid of death, I shall make sure that you die an honorable death. It should be your honor to die by my hands!" Chou Tianhen said coldly as he slowly took out his spirit weapon. Yun Shimo said calmly, "You're so much older but you're picking on a young girl, have you got no sense of shame? Do you not know how many people would mock you if word of this gets out?" Chou Tianhen's face darkened. Although the Gnawing Devils Sect was known for committing all sorts of crimes, as a man, it would indeed
The fifth apprentice of the first batch, Mo Yuning's fifth venerable master, said lightly. "What's the good idea? Tell me now!" The female chief gnashed her teeth in anger and said, "I have never lay my hand on her. But now, Hongyi was hurt so seriously. I must kill Hua Qiyue to blow off some steam!" The fifth venerable master smiled and continued, "Chief, don't you forget that our apprentice Qianyang went back to the palace with the Emperor a month ago? She is the Emperor's favorite daughter. Fortunately, our Heaven Sect adopted her. When Princess Qianyang was lost, the Emperor and the Concubine Xian offered millions of taels of gold to find her." The female chief raised her eyebrows. Of course, she remembered it. After Princess Qianyang returned to the imperial palace, the Changlong Emperor also sent ten thousand taels of gold and countless jewelry as the reward to the Heaven Sect. "Yes, I remember Qianyang. She is the most o
While Hua Qiyue and Ji Jing were having small talks, the Emperor was meeting the fifth venerable master and Hongyi from the Heaven Sect in the main hall. After all, Princess Qianyang was brought up by the fifth venerable master. She was the Emperor's benefactor. Therefore, in the Changlong Emperor's heart, they were all honored guests. "Your Highness, I have heard about you for a long time. When I meet you today, I feel you are really mighty and dignified, which feast our eyes." The fifth venerable master said some genteel words to praise the Changlong Emperor. As expected, he was very happy. Changlong Emperor looked at Hongyi, whose head was swollen and made her look like a pig, saying with a smile, "You're welcome, Left Custodian. The Heaven Sect is the benefactor of Qianyang and me. I've heard that you are really powerful, so I'm eager to make friends with you for a long time. But unfortunately, I can't make my dream come true at that tim
