The next day, the door to the bedchamber opened and Miao Yi walked out. As he walked down the stairs, Yang Zhaoqing came over and reported, "Yun Ruoshuang and her daughter are here. Her Highness hopes that Your Majesty will accompany her to meet them."
Miao Yi nodded and looked back into the room, then turned back and said, "Pass down the decree. Confer Xing the title of Heavenly Lady Glorious Star!"
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing acknowledged and glanced back into the room, then quickly followed behind Miao Yi.
At this time, the palace maids waiting outside the door entered the room to tidy up and serve their mistress.
Only after Miao Yi was far away did Murong Xinghua, who had been standing in a nearby loft for almost the entire night, come down.
She was the commander of the female guards in charge of the harem. Dressed in battle armor, she slowly walked to the entrance of the bedchamber and walked in, stopping at a corner of the room.
Xing was dressed in a snow-white dress, her beautiful feet bare. She quietly sat in front of the dressing table, expressionlessly staring at herself in the mirror.
Two palace maids were combing her hair and dressing her up, while the other two were tidying up the messy bed.
Dressed in full armor, Murong Xinghua slowly walked to the dressing table with her hand on the sword at her waist. She called out softly, "Sister Xing."
Xing didn't respond. She quietly looked at herself in the mirror.
Murong Xinghua pursed her lips and looked at the motionless Xing with a complicated expression on her face …
Celestial Valley Palace. Miao Yi was a little nervous before he entered the palace. He knew that Yun Zhiqiu would definitely know about what happened last night. As usual, she would definitely give him a hard time. Even if he had Yun Zhiqiu's tacit approval, she wouldn't give him any face.
However, to his surprise, Yun Zhiqiu was a little nervous when she saw him. She approached and said worriedly, "Shuang 'er and her daughter are waiting in the front palace."
Seeing that something had diverted her attention, Miao Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He could see her worry and knew that she didn't know how to face it. He then turned to Yang Zhaoqing and said, "Summon her!"
Yang Zhaoqing turned back and gestured to the people outside.
Not long after the husband and wife sat down in the main hall, Yun Ruoshuang arrived. Behind her was a shy and beautiful woman. Her features were somewhat similar to Yun Ruoshuang's. It was his daughter, Chu Yun Wushuang. Chu Yunwushuang had never met Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu before, so she only knew that they were Saint Kings. Not too long ago, she found out that they were the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress, who ruled over the entire realm.
Now, the intermittent news about Uncle and First Aunt is a little exaggerated. In short, it's all praises about Uncle's great talent and strategy, mighty and domineering. When I knew that I was going to meet them, I didn't feel anything because I haven't walked out of my sorrow. Now that I'm really going to meet them, I'm actually a little nervous.
Yun Ruoshuang was still fine. She had a cheerful expression on her face, without a hint of worry or fear. Her eyes were still as big and bright as before, and the two dimples on her cheeks were still there. However, compared to the Yun Ruoshuang in Miao Yi's memories, she now had the elegance of a woman, and a different kind of charm.
Every time he saw her, Miao Yi couldn't help but think of Luo Shuangfei and Yun Ruoshuang. Now that he saw her again, Miao Yi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This unreliable woman actually has such a grown daughter.
Yun Ruoshuang stood in the hall. She swept her gaze across the two of them, but didn't bow. Instead, she smiled and asked, "Should I address you as Big Sister and Brother-in-law, or His Majesty and Her Majesty, Her Majesty and Her Majesty?"
Seeing that she could still smile and talk, Yun Zhiqiu's tense heart finally relaxed. She hurriedly stood up from her seat and extended her hand to welcome her with a smile.
Miao Yi also smiled and stood up. Actually, with his current status, he didn't have to do this. However, when he thought about Chu Yuan's death, he felt a little guilty, so he stood up to show his respect.
Yun Zhiqiu had already grabbed Yun Ruoshuang's slender hands with both of his hands, and said in a slightly annoyed tone, "There are no outsiders here. There's no need to be so polite to family." As he said this, he peeked over Yun Ruoshuang's shoulder and looked at the beautiful woman hiding behind Yun Ruoshuang. He smiled and said, "Shuang 'er, this must be Wushuang, right?"
Yun Ruoshuang forcefully pulled her hands out of Yun Zhiqiu's grasp, as though she was very resistant to Yun Zhiqiu's grip. She turned around to look at her daughter, and her expression immediately changed. Her expression turned frosty, and she sternly rebuked, "Wushuang, why are you hiding so sneakily? Did you come here openly? Are you trying to hide? Haven't you always wanted to meet the legendary Uncle and Big Aunt? "She pointed at Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu. "This is your Uncle and Big Aunt. Your Uncle is the mighty Celestial Emperor, and your Big Aunt is the Empress, the motherly model of the world. It doesn't matter even if your father dies. At most, I'll find you a better stepfather in the future. You don't have to be afraid even if your stepfather dies, because I can always find another one. As long as your Uncle and Big Aunt are here, with them taking care of us, it doesn't matter even if our entire family dies. Hurry up and greet them! Hurry up and take a picture!"
When the servants outside heard this, they couldn't help but sneak a peek inside. They couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement. 'How bold of this woman!'
In the end, Yang Zhaoqing glared at them from outside the door, and the servants peeking in quickly lowered their heads.
Anyone could tell that Yun Ruoshuang was using the opportunity to scold her daughter to stab them in the back. Qian 'Er and Xue' Er exchanged glances. If it were anyone else, the two of them would have already reprimanded them. However, this wasn't the time for them to say anything. This was a family matter.
Hearing this, Miao Yi lowered his head and fell silent. Yun Zhiqiu, on the other hand, looked at her beloved little sister with a pained expression. Her little sister's words were like knives stabbing into her heart. Too many people had died for the sake of the two of them. Family, friends, former subordinates …
At the mention of their father's death, Chu Yun Wushuang's face was already covered in tears. Her shoulders trembled, and she sobbed as she stepped forward to greet them. "Uncle, Big Aunt."
Yun Ruoshuang turned around and put on a smile. "She's just a child who doesn't know any better.
Yun Zhiqiu stepped forward and wiped away the tears on Chu Yun Wushuang's face. She pulled her into her arms and consoled, "It's all in the past now. Everything will be fine from now on. Don't cry, don't cry!"
However, Chu Yun Wushuang couldn't hold back her tears. She lay in Yun Zhiqiu's arms and cried even harder.
"What are you crying for?" Yun Ruoshuang was furious. She stepped forward and was about to make a move.
Yun Zhiqiu grabbed her wrist and said angrily, "Are you done yet? What do you want? If you're angry, come at me. Just say the word, and I'll take it! "
Yun Ruoshuang struggled with all her might, but she couldn't break free. However, she didn't give up and continued to struggle. Her eyes were already brimming with tears as she stubbornly struggled, but she still couldn't break free. In the end, tears gushed out of her eyes, and she began to whimper.
Yun Zhiqiu pulled her tightly and pulled her into her arms as well.
"Big Sister …" Yun Ruoshuang hugged her and burst into tears. Both mother and daughter were crying bitterly.
Yun Zhiqiu held back her tears and said nothing. During the battle of the Spiritual Mountain, the Purgatory forces had charged head-on against the overwhelming number of Transcendence Archers. After the battle, the Yun Clan did a headcount and realized that aside from Chu Yuan, there were a few others who couldn't be found. In the end, just the third generation of the Yun Clan had lost more than a dozen members.
Miao Yi lowered his head slightly and slowly walked past the huddled trio to the pavilion outside. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky with an expressionless face …
In a basin within the Primordial Wastelands, the hundred thousand Evil Spirits that had gone out to battle reappeared.
After confirming that they had returned to the Primordial Wastelands, the Evil Spirits heaved a sigh of relief. They then excitedly chattered about the battle that had taken place. Previously, they were under strict control. This time, they could finally speak freely.
Someone noticed Charcoal silently turning around with his back to the crowd and called out, "Lord Charcoal, how did the battle go? Did Lord Niu win?"
Not only did Charcoal not reply, but he even transformed into a black dragon and quickly made his way to the top of the mountain. Then, he reverted back to his human form and landed on the mountain with his back to the basin.
The Evil Spirits looked at him, a little confused. However, they soon understood. Many of them widened their eyes in fear.
The army had surrounded them from the surrounding mountains, and countless Transcendence Archers were aimed at them.
"Lord Charcoal, what's the meaning of this?" someone shouted.
Charcoal lowered his head in silence. He didn't reply, nor did he turn around.
"Fire!"
As the commander gave the order, the arrows rained down on the basin like a torrential downpour, unleashing a devastating attack.
"Ahhh …" Amidst the explosions, there were cries of agony. Someone even cried out, "Lord Charcoal, you're burning the bridge after crossing it …"
With his back to the crowd, Charcoal clenched his fists and pursed his lips, closing his eyes.
Even though he wasn't very reliable, and even though he had killed many Evil Spirits, it was different this time. After spending so much time with him, Charcoal could be considered a brother who listened to his commands. Not only did he not fulfill his promises, he even burned the bridge after crossing it.
However, he had no other choice. Miao Yi had given the order to kill all the Evil Spirits in the Primordial Desolate. He wanted to eliminate them from the roots and restore the Primordial Desolate to its beautiful surroundings!
Charcoal also knew that it wasn't good to let these Evil Spirits grow, but he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. This was the first time he felt this way.
Charcoal, who had always killed Evil Spirits, actually didn't dare to turn around to look at them this time.
After two waves of concentrated attacks, the army stopped. Groups of dragons and phoenixes soared into the sky and swept away the remaining Evil Spirits to their heart's content, happily absorbing the evil aura that exploded.
Two groups of dragons and phoenixes headed in two different directions, one for the phoenix nest and the other for the dragon cave. They were going to suppress the source of the evil aura that kept surging out.
The two Empyrean Maidens appeared beside Charcoal. One of them stared at Charcoal and asked, "Are you sympathizing with these Evil Spirits?"
Charcoal raised his head and said angrily, "Who said that?"
The other said, "It's written all over your face."
Charcoal glared and said, "What do you mean? I'm obviously thinking about something important! "
One of the Empyrean Maidens said, "What kind of important matter can you be thinking about?"
Charcoal boasted shamelessly, "Why don't you both marry me?"
The two Empyrean Maidens turned around and left. They couldn't be bothered with him.
Charcoal pointed at them and shouted, "Just you wait! When I have that strength, I'll force the two of you to submit to me sooner or later! "
The generals who knew Charcoal laughed loudly when they heard this. At this moment, the army of over a hundred million had already summoned their flying mounts.
Their mission was to cooperate with the Dragon and Phoenix Races to completely eliminate the Primordial Evil Spirits and evil aura. At the same time, they brought along a large number of plant seeds to scatter across the Primordial Land and restore the vitality of the Primordial Era as soon as possible. There was another advantage to doing this. The Primordial Era was too big, and they were afraid that some Evil Spirits might have slipped through. Moreover, if the plants that couldn't touch the evil aura showed any abnormalities, it would be easy to detect the traces of those that slipped through the net. The other task was to survey and map out the terrain of the Primordial Era in preparation for the large number of Mountain Deities and Earth Deities to be stationed and supervised in different areas.
The two Empyrean Maidens met with the generals for a discussion. They were in charge of coordinating the troops with the generals because they were very familiar with the Primordial Era.
Very soon, the army scattered in all directions. The Dragon and Phoenix Races were mixed in the various troops.
Seeing that the two Empyrean Maidens didn't take him seriously at all, Charcoal was very displeased. However, when he looked at the place where a hundred thousand Evil Spirits had been eliminated, he fell silent again. He turned around and led another special troop away. Charcoal had another task, which was to choose a location for the new celestial palace. At the same time, he had to choose a place in both the Eternal Heaven Valley and the Ancient Ice Plains to build a temporary residence for Miao Yi. Naturally, the goal was to make it easier for Miao Yi to cultivate.
