Chapter 1499: Nine-tailed fox (1)
After listening to the Empress Dowager’s words, Lin ‘an’s first thought was that in order to stabilize the regime, the Emperor brother intended to compromise with the court officials and marry him to the son of a Duke.
This was not her baseless guess. Before, her Imperial mother had mentioned this matter and wanted to marry her to the second son of the Duke of dingguo.
The Empress Dowager’s voice was very soft and light. She continued, ”
“Bengong is after all your mother in name, so your marriage matters must be handled by me.
“When the previous emperor was alive, he did not care about your marriage, and bengong was happy to be idle. Now that the new emperor has such a plan, bengong has no other choice.”
Brother Emperor knows that I’m close to this dog slave. Although I’ve never admitted that I like him, can’t brother Emperor see it …? Lin ‘an’s heart was filled with anger.
His face instantly sank, and his tone was respectful yet cold, ”
“There is no need to trouble the Empress Dowager. Lin ‘an will personally speak to brother Emperor.”
The Empress Dowager looked at her in surprise.
“You don’t want to get married?”
Lin an said with a straight face, ”
“I’m not marrying anyone.”
The Empress Dowager nodded. She didn’t care and said softly, ”
“Fine.
“I heard from His Majesty that you and Xu yinluo are quite close and have a good relationship. It turns out that Your Majesty has misunderstood.”
……… Lin an looked at her in a daze.
After being petrified for a few seconds, Lin an stuttered, ”
“Mother, what did mother say?”
The Empress Dowager said lightly, ”
His Majesty wants to arrange. marriage between you and Xu yinluo. If you’re not willing, you can just tell him to …
Before he finished, Lin an said loudly, ”
“Since, since older brother Emperor has said so, then no matter how unwilling Lin an is, one can only comply.
“I’ll have to trouble mother to manage.”
The Empress Dowager stared at her for a while and smiled.
“You’ve matured quite a bit after experiencing so much.
“Bengong has already said what I wanted to say, you can withdraw.”
“Lin an takes his leave!”
She bowed without changing her expression and left Feng Qi Palace with her two Palace maids.
Just as he stepped out of Feng Qi Palace, Lin an’s legs went soft and he almost fell down.
“Your Highness …”
Fortunately, the two Palace maids were quick to react and supported her.
“Where is Your Highness feeling unwell? This servant will go and get the imperial physician.”
The palace maid on the left hurriedly ran away.
Lin ‘an leaned on another Palace maid softly, in a daze.
“Your Highness, Your Highness, what’s wrong?”
Seeing this, the palace maid became anxious.
Lin ‘an’s heart thumped wildly as she listened. Her vision turned dark. She wanted to smile, but her tears flowed down. She muttered,
“I don’t know what’s wrong with me …”
………..
Late at night, the southern border.
On the outskirts of the hundred thousand mountains, there was a high mountain called Qingfeng cliff.
The full moon hung high in the sky, and a dense number of figures were busy working under the bright moonlight. Some looked like humans, some looked like humans but had the characteristics of beasts, and some were purely in the form of beasts.
The common point between them was that they were porters.
Thousands of demons were throwing living creatures into a big pit. There were animals and humans from the Western Region.
However, be it animals or humans, they were either dying or unconscious, completely unaware of their impending fate.
High up in the sky, Luo Yuheng was standing on his flying sword, Xu Qi ‘an was standing on his peace blade, and Bai Ji was hanging on his shoulder.
“A Grand, bloody sacrifice.”
Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice as he looked down.
The purpose of collecting these creatures was to help Shen Shu’s broken limbs recover their initial strength.
Shen Shu had been sealed for 500 years, and her blood and Qi had been exhausted. This was not something that could be recovered by simply breathing and cultivating. If he wanted to restore his transcendent realm strength, he had to absorb the power of an equal level.
In Xu Qi ‘an’s opinion, it was in line with the conservation of energy.
Transcendent realm blood pills were too rare, so a quantitative change could only lead to a qualitative change.
what? the chivalrous Xu yinluo can’t bear to see the creatures below lose their lives for nothing? ”
Luo Yuheng teased her with a smile, like a frivolous demoness.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t answer directly. Instead, he sighed and said, ”
“With Jun Moxie’s words, a General’s success will be built upon ten thousand bones.”
He then replied, ”
“People know how to be flexible, and they must also make choices. Blindly following a certain principle is not what a wise man would do.”
Luo Yuheng grinned and raised his hand. His wide sleeves slid down, revealing his fair wrist and small hand. He stroked his head and said,
“You’ve never been a pedantic person.”
As he said that, a loud noise came from the forest below, and the trees collapsed.
From Xu Qi ‘an’s angle, he could see a huge black-scaled snake slowly crawling over, rolling down the trees along the way.
“Si si …”
The giant snake raised its head and flicked its tongue at the full moon in the sky.
“It’s protector snake, protector snake is here.”
protector snake’s body is still as huge as ever. No, has it gotten bigger? ”
The demons below were discussing spiritedly.
The giant snake’s abdomen wriggled, and a round ball protruded. The round ball slowly moved upwards, and when it reached the throat of the giant snake, it was spat out with a ” pfft ” sound.
It was a “ball” made up of people of the Western regions, wrapped in Qi activity, and there were dozens of them.
“Ruthless!”
The clear cry echoed in the night sky.
Two huge creatures swept across the night sky. One of them was a twenty-foot-long red giant bird with feathers that were as red as flames.It was an Eagle that was 13 feet long, with golden feathers.
The two giant birds each held an iron chain in their claws, and in the middle of the iron chain was a wooden cage with a length, width, and height of two Zhang.
There were all kinds of animals in the wooden cages, including herbivores and carnivorous animals.
The two giant birds flew over the group of demons, and their claws suddenly loosened, smashing the huge cage down.
The snake Guardian swung its long tail and easily wrapped it around the wooden cage, putting it down steadily.
Immediately after, a long howl reverberated under the moonlit night. A huge dog that was thirty feet long dashed over, its four limbs stepping in the air as if it was walking on flat ground.
From the muttering of the demons below, Xu Qi ‘an knew that this was the dog guardian of the thousand demon Kingdom.
In the next two hours, 18 demon guardians appeared, all of them fourth-grade demons.
The creatures in the pit also piled higher and higher.
in terms of the number of demons, the number of experts is not bad. Besides. the thousand demon Kingdom definitely has more than 18 fourth stage demons. Ye Ji is not here, so there must be other fourth stage demons working elsewhere …
Xu Qi ‘an was not surprised that the thousand demon Kingdom, which had been lurking for 500 years, had such a large force.
it’s a pity that there are only nine-tailed fox and a bear among the transcendent experts.
He said regretfully.
The number of transcendents was too small.
At the peak of the thousand Fey Kingdom, the number of transcendent realm great Fey was second only to the Buddhist sect, and even the great Feng dynasty was inferior.
After all, the southern demons symbolized the Orthodox lineage of the demon race and condensed the luck of the entire demon race.
The demons in the North were far from that.
At this moment, he heard a small demon below shouting, ”
“Elder qingji.”
Xu Qi ‘an immediately looked in the direction of the voice. A tall woman in a blue dress stood on the top of Qingfeng cliff. Her face was covered with a silk scarf, and her foxy eyes were bright as she looked down at the group of demons below.
When did she appear? does she have an innate ability similar to the dark venom division’s stealth ability? Xu Qi ‘an heard Bai Ji call out in surprise, ”
“Ya, elder sister qingji.”
He had almost forgotten that this little fellow was also the great elder Bai Ji … Xu Qian asked, ”
“Is this Ye Ji’s sister?”
Bai Ji nodded her head.
“I haven’t seen big sister qingji for a long time. Big sister qingji’s cooking is very delicious.”
How many sisters do you have …? Xu Qi ‘an probed, ”
“Is she pretty?”
Without waiting for Bai Ji’s reply, Xu bailing stated the truth with a serious expression.
“No matter how pretty she is, she can’t be as pretty as the state preceptor.”
Luo Yuheng nodded in satisfaction and withdrew the sword from his neck.
The veiled young woman looked down at the demons and said loudly, ”
“Please welcome the Empress!”
Her voice was very clear, not charming or sweet, but clean and clear like a silver bell.
“Please welcome the Empress!”
All the demons present shouted, their voices converging into a tide.
“Ding Ling …”
The crisp sound of the copper Bell rang in the ears of every demon, as well as Xu Qi ‘an and Luo Yuheng.
At this moment, the cold full moon seemed to dim a little, as if it was covered by something.
The Nine-Tailed celestial Fox is here … Xu Qi ‘an’s heart moved, and he turned to look at the full moon.
The Fox race was known for their beauty, and all of them were top-notch beauties.
How beautiful would the only nine-tailed fox in the nine regions be?
……….
