Chapter 1741 In The Throne Room

Scarlet stared down at the men and women who knelt before her. Everyone ranging from the Elders to Zhou Linfan to Alex's family, including Alex himself, knelt in front of her.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Rise!" Scarlet ordered and everyone slowly got back up.

Alex could feel the strong aura that moved around Scarlet, the aura that made him believe that even if the sky fell tomorrow, she would keep them safe.

It was a very reassuring aura.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Alex spoke first.

The others followed quickly, giving their own congratulations to Scarlet with a look of reverence in their eyes.

Scarlet smiled slightly. "Thank you," she said as she looked at her hands. "I can finally fit in with you all, don't you think?"

"Uhh... you will still stand out, one way or another," Alex said. He looked at her face and was surprised at just how beautiful her human face was.

He remembered seeing it before once, but it was just an image from someone else's memory. The real thing was obviously extremely better.

Scarlet turned toward the other people down the hallway who had stopped to stare at them all. Most were in awe at what was happening without understanding it at all, but some had understood and were in more awe because of that.

"Let us all find some privacy," Scarlet said and started walking toward the throne room.

Everyone followed quickly and filled up the palace hall. Even there, many congratulated Scarlet for not just her breakthrough but also her new appearance.

Soon, Scarlet started to find all the words of congratulations annoying.

"Let us move to other topics," she said, sitting atop the throne where Alex usually sat in her absence. With her present there, he was seated on top of another throne, but a smaller one.

Scarlet turned toward Alex and said, "Now that I'm done with my cultivation, I can take upon my responsibility as the Queen. You will be free of most burdens. You should be able to use this free time wisely, can't you?"

"I will make the most out of it," Alex said.

"I must admit that I do not know much aside from what Whisker has told me and what I could figure out by your actions. Do fill me in on what I have missed while I was in closed cultivation."

Scarlet frowned a little. "You really don't have much etiquette, do you?" she asked.

Bai Jingshen simply laughed. "I felt your breakthrough from the Western Continent and came to congratulate you. Don't mind my lack of etiquette for that."

The other 7 women beside Bai Jingshen respectfully bowed toward Scarlet and gave her their congratulations.

While Scarlet was still much weaker than them, she was still a Heavenly beast, a mighty Vermilion Bird, and was thus While Scarlet was still much weaker than them, she was still a Heavenly beast, a mighty Vermilion Bird, and was thus deserving of their respect.

"Sister Scarlet? Whoa! You're a human now? Congratulations on breaking through to the Immortal realm," Pearl said with a bright voice. "I'm so happy for you."

Scarlet sighed and couldn't be mad anymore. A small smile formed on her face. "Thank you, Pearl."

She looked back at Bai Jingshen with a slight frown back on her face. She didn't remember sensing any spiritual sense from him at all, so she wondered how he even knew where they were gathered. Had he just followed the aura?

"Why did you hurry to get here?" she asked. "Surely you didn't come here this quickly just to congratulate me."

"No, we were all ready to come anyway," Bai Jingshen said. "Your breakthrough just gave us the excuse to leave. We have a stake in your upcoming war, and so we wanted to help too."

"We? You are going to lend beasts for this war?" Scarlet asked. "I... don't remember many strong beasts remaining in your realm."

"I have a few," Bai Jingshen said. "I can lend you about 20 strong beasts for most of the leaders of the many legions. They will come in handy."

"That will be very helpful," Scarlet said. "Still, this is not quite enough, is it."

"If we could somehow drag him out of the Eastern Continent, I could easily deal with him. But so long as he stays in there, he is out of my reach," Bai Jingshen said with an annoyed look on his face.

"For now, we just need to find a way for them to deal with him on their own," Scarlet said.

"Don't tell me you're helping. I should be fine as long as I'm not instigating the war, isn't it?" Scarlet asked.

"Maybe," Bai Jingshen said. "Still, I would be careful if I were you. Give them the resources and knowledge, but don't give them any commands."

Scarlet slowly nodded. "Damn these oaths."
