“Sister, your wisdom is boundless. Your younger sister will always obey your arrangements! Besides, I’m not even the Prime Minister’s real daughter; we’re merely using each other, so there’s no need to avenge him! I just wonder…” Yu Fei smiled charmingly and turned her head toward Papi San.
“Alright, no problem! Such great terms—anyone who doesn’t agree must be an idiot!”
Qiao San was no hero. Without any threat from his opponent, he immediately raised his hands in surrender, finishing with a cheeky grin: “Your Majesty Yu Fei, they say you don’t get to know someone without a fight. Now we’re on the same side, so let’s forget our past grievances and laugh it off! Hehe…”
“Unity brings mutual benefit; division leads to mutual loss! Brother Da Dan, let’s seal our pact with a hand slap!”
With a tone of certainty, Yushan ended the conflict.
“Slap!” Whether genuine or not, the yao and the rogue struck their palms together, sealing a human-yao alliance driven by mutual interests.
The National Preceptor left the palace, Yu Fei remained in her quarters, and Papi San personally escorted Princess Manyao.
“Your Highness, may I ask you a question?”
“Hehe… Go ahead! Isn’t that why you’re seeing me off, Brother Da Dan?!” Alone with Qiao San, Princess Manyao exuded less authority and more charm.
The slender beauty barely reached Papi San’s shoulders. Yushan smiled enchantingly, appearing even more delicate and tender, like a bird nestling close. Before the man could even let his gaze warm, she joyfully said, “Brother Da Dan, just call me Yushan. We’re friends now, no need to be formal!”
Qiao San’s heart pounded. He felt flattered and surprised. After all, this woman surpassed him in both power and status. He never expected such courtesy from her.
Hmm… Could it be that I, Qiao San, am truly the most handsome man under heaven? Hehe…
After a moment of self-admiration, Qiao San’s playful gaze turned serious. Facing a demon from the underworld who was far more powerful than himself, he still shot a sharp glare, as if locking onto Yushan.
“It would be easy for you to seize the Spirit Flame Pill. Why ally with me?”
Yushan smiled gently, her graceful figure spinning halfway around on the cloud beneath her feet. After performing a mesmerizing dance move, she finally answered, “Brother Da Dan, you’re right. I don’t really desire the Spirit Flame Pill. To be honest, I already have one on me. If you ask, I’ll give it to you anytime!”
Pausing briefly, the yao from the earthly realm danced once more, her flowing sleeves weaving a misty paradise that rendered her beauty even more enchanting than that of celestial maidens.
Under Qiao San’s puzzled gaze, Yushan floated back to the man’s side. A gentle breeze carried her fragrance straight into his heart, imprinting her words there too.
“I don’t care about the pills, but I do care about Dongsheng Shenzhou! Brother Da Dan, you may not know that the celestial realm has been relentlessly pressuring our earthly domain, even seizing the Southern Zhanbu Continent under our jurisdiction. Supporting Yu Fei and seeking your help is merely turning their own methods against them!”
The petite, exquisite beauty slowly ascended into the air. Her white gown trailed behind her like a perfect arc. As she danced, Yushan spoke casually, revealing shocking secrets that crashed into Qiao San’s heart like a tsunami.
“When chaos first divided, the pure air formed the celestial realm, while the turbid air became our earthly domain. The balance between pure and turbid was the fundamental principle of heaven and earth. But the celestial realm cruelly expelled the natural turbid air, trying to force all life in our earthly domain into extinction. Brother Da Dan, tell me, shouldn’t Yushan fight back?”
“This…” Qiao San was bewildered by the enchanting, seductive voice!
As a mortal, he should oppose the evil yao clan, but recent experiences left him unable to find words to object.
In the hazy world, Yushan successfully made Qiao San overlook certain facts. The cunning beauty secretly smiled, her enchanting charm becoming even more dazzling.
The地界’s most beautiful woman had long vanished, yet Qiao San’s dazed gaze still lingered in the sky, his mind still confused.
Under the same sky, at the same time but different locations, two sedan chairs secretly entered the Beigong family compound one after another.
As the hall doors closed, the ten guards of Chen Yuan scattered outside. Not a sound remained within the entire Beigong household.
“Beigong Ping greets Her Majesty the Empress!” The master of the house, Lord Beigong, flicked his robe and prepared to kneel with both knees.
“We’re all family here. My Lord, no need for such formalities!”
A pair of slender, soft jade hands gently lifted upward, causing the purple cloak to slide off. The mature, alluring beauty brightened the room.
Hmm?! Another “Her Majesty”! It seems the women of the royal family are indeed extraordinary!
Her oval peach-shaped face slightly tightened. After a brief breath, the current Empress calmed her slight panting from walking a few steps. Her graceful phoenix eyes swept the room, their gentle and dignified gaze briefly revealing a hint of sadness.
Everyone present was family. Though Beigong Ping didn’t kneel, he still instinctively bowed his torso slightly: “Your Majesty, Zheng’er has gone to meet his senior martial elders. He’ll return to the capital soon!”
After some casual conversation, Beigong Ping’s face lit up with joy: “This time I invited Your Majesty and the Chancellor because a celestial immortal has descended. With her help, we will surely eliminate the malevolent forces within the court soon!”
“Oh, please bring her quickly!” The stout Right Chancellor broke the silence, his eyes already fixed on the closed hall doors.
Though not as eager as the Right Chancellor, the Empress’s phoenix eyes also rippled with anticipation. Reverence for immortals had long been etched into the bones of mortals.
“Greetings from Xuan Nu of Zifu Mountain!”
A “quiet” aura blew past the door, silently lifting the latch as if it had a life of its own. The grand doors opened by themselves, revealing the tranquil figure of “Jing Ning” in bare feet and black robes!
Xuan Nu’s delicate feet moved inches above the ground, her spotless figure appearing in an instant. Whether it was Beigong Ping with his spiritual powers, the Right Chancellor seasoned in court politics, or the Empress radiating royal aura, all felt their hearts settle into a clear, calm state—free from joy or anger, desire or impurity!
The disciple of Sushen lightly nodded and gracefully took her seat. “Lady Beigong, I asked you and these two to come because I need the Chancellor’s and Empress’s influence to help Dongsheng Shenzhou through this calamity!”
Without any pretense, Xuan Nu went straight to the point. The “quiet” aura made the entire space feel perfectly natural.
“Please speak, Immortal. As long as it’s for the common people, this old man will give my utmost!” The stout, towering Right Chancellor, though a civilian official, possessed the boldness and spirit of a warrior.
“It’s my honor to serve the Immortal!” The Empress also nodded earnestly. The trials of palace life had made her ponder deeply about the nature of this disaster.
“Xuan Nu thanks you three for your kindness!”
Xuan Nu bowed politely, then explained in her “quiet” tone: “The Princess of the myriad demons in the underworld has already arrived in the mortal world. She will cause chaotic energy to rise in Dongsheng Shenzhou, transforming the Dongsheng land into a living hell! The demon’s disturbance in the Golden Hall was merely a prelude.”
