Chapter 25: Heaven Destined Me to Die
so fortunate, finding all these treasures because of their misfortune."Palace Master, since this sulfur is so powerful, we might as well destroy them." Without noticing Su Qingying's mischievous smile...Taking a piece of veil from her bosom, Su Qingying covered half her face, leaving only two bright phoenix eyes exposed.
"Ying'er, what are you doing" Su Ziyi was speechless.
"Hee hee, I'm not worried that I'm too ugly to affect the city view, am I If I accidentally scare someone to death, it wouldn't be good," Su Qingying said with a giggle.
"...This self-awareness of hers came as quite a surprise to him!"
After a moment of silence, Su Ziyi took the lead and stepped into the main hall. The eunuch at the door loudly announced: "The East Yue Prince and the Fifth Princess have arrived!"
Su Qingying narrowed her eyes into a slit and followed closely behind. The moment she appeared, she attracted countless gazes. Even the one on the Dragon Throne raised his eyes to look over, his gaze piercing through everything.
Su Ziyi's perfect lips curved into a gentle smile, her voice soft and pleasant as she nodded slightly towards Xuan Yuan Luocheng at the top, "This palace represents Dong Yue in congratulating the West Ming Emperor."
"Don't be so polite, Dong Yue Prince. Please take a seat." Xuan Yuan Luo Chen's icy voice echoed.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Su Ziyi once again smiled warmly, politely responding. He and Su Qingying had just sat down at their designated spot when a sharp voice belonging to an eunuch sounded from outside the door, "Prince of Beiling, the Regent has arrived!"
This sound caused the originally somewhat noisy hall to fall into an eerie silence. Everyone looked towards the door unanimously, and even Xuan Yuan Luocheng slightly turned his head, temporarily withdrawing his gaze from Su Qingying.
After that creepy gaze shifted away from her, Su Qingying finally let out a sigh of relief.
But she was also curious, wondering who could have them so attentive, and stretched her neck to peek out the door.
In the midst of absolute silence, a carefree and dissolute laughter drifted over. You couldn't see him first but could hear his voice. Immediately after, a flamboyant figure in crimson attire, holding a jade bone fan, gracefully approached.
This person has sword-shaped eyebrows and star-like eyes, handsome beyond compare, just like someone walking out of a painting, more delicate than a woman.
He was the Crown Prince of Beiling -- Shangguan Jinghong! As his name suggests, he was truly a breathtaking sight.
And by his side walked a man in white, his features even more profound and enchanting. A pair of narrow, blood-red phoenix eyes seemed to contain the brilliance of heaven and earth, so beautiful that one dared not look directly at them.
Sunlight spilled over him, as if coating him in a layer of gold. His whole body emanated an icy aura, a coldness that was both arrogant and terrifying, so chilling that all living things felt a shiver of fear.
This person is none other than the Lord Jun Li Ye, the ice-faced regent of Bei Ling who could strategize from within and win a thousand miles away.
It is said that he once single-handedly subdued several small countries on this continent, leading to the formation of a four-kingdom situation in the Central Plains, making the Beiling Kingdom the leading power among the four kingdoms in just a few years.
"What's going on Why is everyone looking at me I didn't arrive late, did I Perhaps I'm just too handsome, have I captivated you all Haha..."
Shangguan Jinghong's unrestrained and frivolous laughter broke the eerie atmosphere. Everyone came to their senses, beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads. They cursed inwardly, "Who would fancy a useless wastrel like you, the Prince All you do is frequent brothels every night, indulging in fleeting pleasures!"
As they were speaking, Jun Li and Ye Shangong had already entered the main hall. The breeze danced around them, ruffling their garments and creating graceful arcs in the air.
Su Qingying's neck was originally long, but after seeing Jun Linyue's face clearly, the pair of phoenix eyes that she had deliberately narrowed into slits widened, widened, and widened again, like two copper bells!
Lightning-fast, she retracted her neck, Su Qingying desperately trying to lower her presence, wishing she could bury her head deep underground. All that was left in her mind were four words: "Heaven punishes me!"ger sister who sat beside him, familiar yet strange. He opened his mouth several times, but remained speechless.Su Qingying's kind of coldness and bloodthirst emanating from her bones, even he felt a...
